The Umatilla Reservation.

Under date of Nov 2sth the Washing
ton correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle says:
In his annual report, Indian Commits
sioner Hoyt proposes that the Umatilla
Reservation, in North Eastern Oregon,
between the Umatilla river and the Blue
Mountains, and containing PCS, 800 acres,
be abandoned and the lands sold. After
promising that this reservation is now
surrounded by white farming popula-
tion and crossed by telegraph line and
several roads, he says: "This valuable
tract is occupied by only 1000 Indians.
who cultivate 1000 or 5000 acres and
use it as a range for their 2,20O head of
stock. For several years past the citizens
Of Oregon have made persistent effort to
have tls,se lands opened to settlement.
In view of the pressure on all sides for
ing travel across the reservation, the
expiration of their treaty before they
have reached point where Government
aid can be dispensed with, the expense
of maintaining an agency for so small
Il number of Indians, and the fact that
upon the Yakima Reservation sufficient
quantity of equally valuable land can be
allotted them, 1 deem it expedient that
the tribes occupying the Umatilla Reser
vation be removed to Yakima, and the
lands thus vacated be sold, the proceeds
of such sale to be used to defray the
Expenses of the removal, to make full
reimbursement for improvements relin
,quished, and to provide ample facilitie
for such civilizing work as will brin!
them to self-support."

Our Location.

The city.of Weston is situated in
tract of &a.able land, unsurpassed in
fertility east Of the Cascade Mountains;
ywith beautiful ,indulations, conformation
admirably adapted to practical agrlcul-
ture, within easy distance of the Blue
Mountains, with their intermenable sup
plies of wood, continuous supplies Of
pure water, Weston: stands topographic
ally aud commercially as, It's grand center,
and as such loudly demands,an exposition
of its qualities Not for thetown alone,
but for the whole region Of idle land,
waiting but for the sinewy son of toll to
bare its luxurant bosom, that the cereals
in magnificent plentitude may rise there
from That smiling homes and pleasing
plenty may spring from tho solitude OF
native, idle wealth.

sALUTATORY.

Waving the formal custom Of a
tedious prospectus, we enter the field of
journalistic enterprise without previous
introduction, trusting that our efforts as
they may be directed from time will in
themselves prove ample reason for the
beginning of lasting friendship betw cen
our readers and ourselves We do not
launch the WESTON WEEKLY LEADER
upon the sea of journalism without at
least moderate idea Of the grave re-
sponsibilities devolving upon the pub
fishers Of newspaper. It shall be our,
endeavor in the management of this
paper to meet, as nearly as possible, the
the wants of this section Of the county.
In political sense we shall endeavor to
be independent; aiming in our discussion
of governmental questions to be digni-
fed courteous and concise. Topics of local
interest will, at all times, receive pre-
cedence at our hands. We shall aim to
make our department of local news and
intell gence full and complete; to this
end we would respectfully solicit the
cooperation Of our readers throughout
the country. Send US the news; it is
the vital element of a live newspaper.
The LEADER will battle boldly for the
interests of this section of Umatilla
county. We are opposed to monopolies
of all kinds and shall fight consistently
for their overthrow. We are in favor
of the removal of the Indians from the
Umatilla Reservation and the opening
up of that tract to settlement by the
whites; for the attainment of this object
our efforts shall be directed from time tt
time We believe that the proposee
railroad from Umatilla to La Grand'
should be built by way of Weston ane
Summerville. From this standpoint W.
shall discuss this subject as it seem
proper.
For our cotemporaries we entertain
the highest regard and respect, and trus
that our relationship with one anothe
may be mutually pleasant.
Trusting that we shall receive liberia
support from the inhabitants of Umatill
county, we wish our readers, one ane; al
Merry Christmas and Happy Ne'
Year, and hoist our sail. Now for tn
voyage May it prove pleasant an
profitable to all Interested

WHAT WE LIKE.--To hear a man try to
borrow his neighbor's paper, and the neigh
Dor have courage to reply: 81 would as soon
loan you my tooth brush; to have party
imagine that he can do as much business
without advertising as he can with it; t"
look at the blank astonishmcnt that settles
down on that mans face when, after trying
a month he finds it can't be done; to see &,
man refuse to take his local paper, and all
the time sponge on his; neighbor for the use
of his to hear man complain when we ask
him to subscribe for his home paper, that he
takes more papers now than he can read,
and then go around and borrow his neighbor $
or loaf about him until he gets the news from
it; to see a man run down his home paper as
not wortl, taking, and every now and then
beg the editor for favor i'll the editorial line;
to see a man refuse to advertise i'll home
paper, and then try to get share OF trade
that the paper is instrumental i'll bringing to
his door to see man who is able to pay tor
his local paper, always manage to be around
in time to read it at the expense of a friend
not worth the tenth part of what he himself
is, it looks so economical, thrifty and progres
sive you know.

The Business of Farming.

A thorough knowledge of ones busi
nes is absolutely necessary to insure
success, and no one will question the
statement The professional man is
versed in the principles of his profession,
or his success will be meagre, as it ought
to be. But, risking the charge of essen
TALLY repeating what we have said on
several occasions before, we want to ask
the question, What proportion of our
farmers thoroughly understand their
business7 No one would attempt to say
that the proportion is large There are
some legitimate reasons why this is so,
and there are some reasons that are not
legitimate. In the first place, agriculture
is an extensive science and complicated
one; and while this is true, there has
been but comparatively little written
upon it. Until within few years GER
tainly this was eminently true. Farmers
themselves have been to blame to con-
siderable degree. They have undervalued
the Importance and dignity of this best
and noblest of all callings, and when
people undervalue what they should be
the most interested in, and what they are
supposed to know the most about, it is
| not strange that others should undervalue
it. Now that agriculture is being recog-
| nized for what it is worth, the ablest men
in the world are giving it their attention,
and SO arranging the sciences of which
agriculture is made up, that they can be
readily comprehended by the student,
which every farmer ought to be.
But while books and journals devoted
to agriculture are of incalculable benefit
and should always be at hand, there are
other means of instruction which, though
not as extensive, are as valuable as fal
as they go, and among them is thu
assembling together of farmers for dis
cussion and the exchange of views. /
is cheap way of acquiring tuition, too
At this season Of the year it is well t.
begin to think of these things and t.
plan for the holding Of Institutes, con
ventions, etc. If there is farmers
society of any kind in the community
!. all that remains to be done is to max
the meetings of a practical character
Not that we mean that every sessio
, should be devoted wholly to business a
, distinguished fom pleasure, but that
? portion of the meetings, or a portion {
, every meeting, should be de devoted
an interchange of views upon the bus
ness of farming in some Of its varior
branches If, however, there should I
no societies, then the institute should !
+ resorted to.-Western Rural.
