The patriotic citizens of Yamhill
County haze invited Senator Morton
to deliver the 4th of July Grafton in
that County. BY grape vine tele-
graph we learn that Senator Morton
is nearly spelling to make a 4th of
July speech in some one of the many
embryo cities of Washington or Ore
gon. The great trouble with the
Senator now is, he can't make up his
mind whether to 60 to Yamhill or
come to Vancouver. At last accounts
he was trying to make arrangements
to bring into requisition the telephone,
so that he could remain at his hotel
on the 4th and speak in both places.
Failing on the telephone arrange
ment, he will probably adhere to the
balance of the programme-remain
at the hotel.

After reading the many compliments
that have been paid the city Of La
Centre, (stolen, I suppose, from some
one who had taken up the pen to write
the far-famed history of Parkersville) l
will take the responsibility to give you
an idea of this place.
Parkersville is situated on the Column
bia River, about sixteen miles from
Vancouver near the mouth of the Big
Washougal; and is the trading post of
Fern Prairie, Bear Prairie and Cape
Horn. We have, at present, two
steamboats, running questionable
Ga-elle and Caliope. They make two
trips per week-Tuesdays and Wednes-
days. Those long-wished-for gentlemen
Messrs. Carpenter & Co., of Portland,
have at length arrived. They have put
up a neat store house, in which they
opened new stock of goods ON Monday,
June 4th inst. They will sell goods
and buy country produce. We feel
confident that they are honest business
men.
This portion of the country from
whence your correspondent writes, is
settling very fast, and in the course of
few years it will rank with the leading
points in Clarke County. Quite an
amount of new land has been seeded
this year, which promises well. Crops
in general, look well in this vicinity.

Indian Policy.

The recent outbreak among the Indi-
ans of Western Idaho, and which prom
Uses to extend into Eastern Washington
and Oregon, is only another one of the
natural results of mistaken Indian
policy. The Quaker plan is fraud.
1t has already cost the country many
precious lives and much treasure. The
humanitarian theory of subduing the
Indians with Sunday School tracts is the
merest bosh.
1t is all very well for persons who
are secure in their Eastern homes to
talk of the Quaker policy, but those
who have witnessed it's practical work
ings, who have tasted its practical
effects in blood, we'll know that this
crazy and fanatical attempt to civilize
and christianize few lazy, dirty, vaga-
bond Indians is simply preposterous.
Those who SOW the wind must inevita-
bly, reap the whirlwind; and so long as
our government gets down to the level
of the Indian, so long as it sends out
agents to hold solemn pow-wows with
them, so long as the attempt is made to
buy their friendship with beads and
blankets, arms and amunition--so long
will there be trouble.
We have been giving them guns and
gospel-riAes and religion. Isn't it
about time to quit such foolishnessl
The government of the United States,
while claiming dominion over all of her
territory, still treats the Indian tribes
as SO many alien nations residing there
in. This recognition is made in the
numerous treaties held with this lowest
type of humanity. What farce! An
Indian has about as high conception
of the solemn obligations of treaty as
he has of virtue and honesty.
The present policy seems to rest upon
the supposition that it is of more i'm
portance to civilize one Indian than to
save the lives of thousand men, wo-
men and innocent babes. Away with
such an idiotic theory. Is it possible
that we will never have President
who can rise above the fanatical, myth
cal Idea, of ''noble red manT Com
mon sense and the dictates of decency
and humanity call loudly for a new
Indian policy. The shilly-shally dilly-
daily pow-wow policy is stupendous
fraud. What the ''noble red man" needs
what he is aching for-is good
strong "bulldOsing" policy.
