The Moses Conference and Iaaian Cues

From the Asioriaa.l

From the Asioriaa.1
Editor Historian:
DEAR SIR:--In your daily of the 22d
inst. under the heading 'sThe Moses
Conference" l notice inrthe proposed
boundaries for Moses band. that you
consider that portion of Washington
Territory as Of little value and only ft
for the proposed Indian reservation.
Having explored nearly the entire
ground named and knowing that il con.
tains the finest of marble, . vast amount
of the best Of timber and of agricultural
lands on the Okanagon river and all
along on the west or right bank of the
Columbia preferable to that on the
Umatilla reservation, l have no hestan-
cy in saying that in my opinion it will
not be five years before a stronger effort
will be made to occupy that country than
is now made to that of the Umatilla
agency for settlement.
Tho marble quarries alone in that
country are invaluable to our whole
coast. A small! outlay will render the
Columbia river navigable at any season,
except when frozen to those quarries.
Along the Okanagon river no portion Of
Oregon can surpass it in its bunch grass
and facilities for settlement. To make
it an Indian reservation will only make
it a country to be sought by the western
farmer.
1t may be asked, what will you do
with the Indians? | answer from many
years experience and knowledge of them.
Give them homestead in perpetuity of
their own choice of 100, $50, or less
number Of acres and compel them to oc-
cupy their choice. and become citizens,
as they are now subject to our military
power, and must be, till they learn that
civilized people have possession Of and
will occupy the country they have shown
in the past their inability to improve.
Give them such assistance as the value
of lands they have not the ability to &C.
cupy and improve is reasonable, in
schools for all classes, and implements
for farming purposes.
They are and must be subject to our
laws, hence they should be protected as
all other persons are. Exempt them
from taxation until they vo'untarily be
come citizens and wish to take part in
the legal transactions Of the country.
Above and beyond all, allow no foreign
countryman to become teacher of
American law and instructions in their
public schools.
While upon this Indian question allow
me to say, that from the best informa.
ton could ever obtain from them, the
whole Indian population, Of our country,
have been migratory race aud do not
properly belong to any country. They
have remained and dug roots and hunted
in the land till driven from it by a
stronger or more war tribe, and then
have sought vacant lands 10 which to
remain to hunt, dig roots and fish till
driven to another better or worse land.
They are like all our American squat
tiers, we occupy aplace till we can sell
and do better or worse; present posses.
sorry or squatter rights is all they have,
or are entitled to in the land, which 10
practice is all that our, or any other civil
or professedly christian government has
ever acknowledged Or respected Ihave
not the time to write more on this cub
ject at the preset. Yours etc., q y

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for February
is already on our table, and more than
maintains the popularity of this unri-
vailed lady's book. We thought the
steel engravings in the January number,
could not be excelled, but the principal
one for February, 'The Challenge" rep
resenting mischievous girl about to
throw SNOWFALL, is, by all odds, the
best that has appeared, anywhere, for
years. There are many who would give
a years subscription for this picture
alone. The stories are even better than
usual, and this is saying the most that
can be said. "Her Creditor" by Frank
Lee Benedict, is very powerful; SO also
is "The November Night" both such
stories as one rarely reads in these days.
There are about fifty wood engravings of
the latest styles in fashions, of patterns
for the work table, ETC., ETC., besides the
usual double-size, colored, steel plate of
late Paris fashions. At its price, two
dollars year, this is simply the cheap
est of the really good magazines. Ifyou
have not subscribed already, do so at
once, or get up club for it, and earn q
copy free. Specimens sent to get up
clubs with. Address the publisher,

A CASE IN PoINT.-In 1875, the Blail
(Nebraska) Times published the deliu
quent tax list Of the county under q cut
throat bid for q very low figure, and
afterward demanded full legal rates fcI
the work. The commissioners refused
to pay the demand, when the publishe,
brought suit and recovered the full
amount. The Judge held that the law
fixed the fees to which the printer was
entitled, and required the treasurer to
collect the amount from the delinquent
lands, which was done, and that the
printer who did the work was entitled
to the money. This is precisely the law
in Kansas. 1t fixes the fees which the
printer shall receive, and requires the
treasurer to collect the full amount OF
fees, no matter at what price the work is
done.-Troy Chief.

DOING BUSINESS On A FALLING MARKET

In his recent speech at q Boston "club
dinner" Gen. Butler made some Observ-
atoms which explain why the times con-
tinue to grow harder. men," he says,
cannot do business on falling market,
and they are afraid to try. The attempt
to resume on gold alone is causing the
perpetual shrinkagc in tbs value of
property, and consequently is enhancing
the weight of debts. Restoration of sill
yer as legal tender will stop the shrink
age and start prices upward. This
would restore confidence in future val
ues, and cause enterprising men to again
embark in business" Says Butler
Thereafter it would be known to all
mankind, values would 20 upward till
they near the value of the labor and
material put into them. When that
time comes there will come business.
No man will build a ship if he thinks
that month after it is bull: its value
will be lessened 10 per cent. No manu-
facturer wants to make yard of cloth
when its cost is likely to fall in a month,
and 50 business is paralyzed. But let it
be understood that the lower line of de-
preston has been reached; let the pas.
sage of this silver bill be an assurance
that there shall not thereafter be any de-
struction of the values of property
which has come from this attempt to
reach specie payments. and business will
come back in returning tide of pros
perity all over the country. No city
needs this prosperity more than Boston.
Look at your burnt district. There is
no better built business section in any
city 10 the world and yet, as whole,
it does pay more than 8 per cent, and
u per cent. of that goes for taxes. Some
people say that this depression in bust
ness Is because of over-production, and
according to that idea, the poor in this
country may get very rich by being idle
q year. But the trouble b not over-pro-
duction, it is under-consumption," and
q falling market with contraction of
prices that are running the prosperity of
the country. There is something want
ing to start business, and that something
is confidence BY an upward lift in
