a Washington dispatch of Friday,
April 18th, states that Moses and his
Indians have secured a reservation.
an agreement having been made that
they vacate the lands heretofore oc-
cupied by them in this Territory, and
accept reservation set apart for them
adjoining the west side of the Col
vile reservation, in the northeastern
portion of this Territory. The pro-
posed reservation is larger than the
Yakima, which contains 800, 900 acres.
Now if the Yakima reservation can
be given up to settlement to whites,
and Wilbur with the rest of the In
dams removed to the new reserva-
ton, eastern Washington would be
in condition for successful develop
ment, capable of supporting an i'm
mense agricultural population. 1t
would also largely reduce the number
of soldiers necessary to be kept in
this department.

VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, APRIL "A. 1879.

Some individuals in Vancouver are
inclined to criticise this paper, be-
cause we have taken occasion to OPP
pose the course of the democracy in
Congress, and have published some
extracts from other papers showing
up the aims of southern politicians,
and the subserviency of northerners
to them. We cannot see wherein it
is wrong to pursue that course. Ev-
cry man should have an interest in
upholding and sustaining the United
States government, and should dis
approve boldly all movements calcu-
lated to weaken the government or
to destroy it; and to any man who
does not look through prejudiced eyes
the fact is plainly apparent that the
actions of the present Congress can
not be approved by any but partsans
of dishonest politicians who have
nothing to lose and everything to
gain in the objects sought to be ac-
complished. Eighteen years ago the
country was drawn into bloody and
costly war by southern democrats. be.
cause their will could not be the law
Of the land. During the last term of
the southern democrats in Office they
destroyed the army as nearly as they
could, depleted the treasury, crippled
the government, and then went into
war against it. To-day the same ell
ement rules Congress, where seven
ty-nine rebel officers, with the demo-
Gratis of the north under their thumbs
say they shall rule or wreck the gov
eminent. They are entering upon
the identical line Of policy which was
followed by them before they opened
the rebellion. So bold are they in
their work that few days ago, in
speaking of the army appropriation
bill now pending, Randolph Tucker
of Virginia addressed the republicans
saying: "The army dies June so, I'M
less you consent to this legislation"
This is plain declaration that unless
the north permits the southern rebels
to rule the whole country they will
again do all they can to obstruct, to
injure or destroy the government.
To say the least, the south acts pre-
cisely as it did just before it went
into rebellion eighteen years ago. and
with this fact so plainly before us,
we shall never by silence on this sub
ject lead any one to suppose that in
dependence means quiet submission
to the crack of the slave-d drivers lash
or the dictates of any partisan eau

Petroleum OutlooIS-DaIIy Productions
Over $1,000 barrels.

Petroleum Outlook-DaIIy Production
Over $1,000 barrels.
Stowell's Petroleum Reporter for July 10,
containing all statistics for June, 1879,
does not afford much consolation for per-
sons interested in petroleum. A most
discouraging feature lies in the enormous
daily production OF 55,lO5 barrels against
1855 barrels for the same time in
1873. Other statistics are given Us
follows: Total production in June,
l,05S,l5O barrels. Daily average for
the month, 55,l05 barrels; daily
average increase in June 1888 bar
rels. And the average daily production Of
the new wells in June was % $40 barrels.
The average daily production of all the
wells for the month WASH 9-l0 barrels. The
number of producing wells at the close OF
June was H. 2S, being an increase in
June OF l76; the number OF drilling wells
completed in Jnne was $50, against 4O9 in
May; the number Of drilling wells was
3S4, being 70 less than in May; the num-
Der OF rigs up was S6l, being decrease in
June OF 80; the number OF dry holes de-
veloped was 10, being an increase in June
OF 7.
The shipments in June out Of the pro.
ducing regions, were 1915 barrels more
than in the preceding month. The total
shipments OF crude, and refined reduced
to crude equivalent, by railroad, river and
pipes to various points, were 1868, 3l4
barrels. OF this amount Pittsburgh took
207 ,697 barrels.
The stock in the producing regions has
been increased during the month 2S3, $3.50
barrels, making the total stock at the close
OF the month 7,240, $50 barrels, and is held
by pipe companies, tankers and operators.
The amount Of stock in the Pennsylya.
mia producing regions on June 80, ISIS,
was sos, $50 barrels, and on the 30lh Of
June, 1870, 1t was 7,2+O550 barrels, max.
ing an increase for the year OF 2,iG2, 4Ol
barrels.
The increased production is entirely in
the northern or Bradford regions, which
has been stimulated by the ease and Ger.
tainty Of obtaining oil, coupled with The
small expense Of producing it after the
well is completed, as nearly all the wells
in this field flow, which leaves tho ma.
chinery free for the operator TO use in
drilling new wells Dry holes are com.
paraavely rare, except now and then
wild cat well drilled in extending the Ter.
rltory or defining its limits.

Apples and tomatoes are not In sufficient
supply to equalthe demand. Raspberries
are almost entirely done, aud blackberries
are just beginning to come. Some OF the
potatoes raised In the neighborhood are
magnificent specimens OF tubers.
The Bellaire Independent relates how two
medical young men Of Bellaire played
trick on another young man by signing
his name TO "a note asking fathers per-
mission to pay his addresses to his daugh.
ter. Another chapter might be added to
this, telling how the same young men, or
perhaps only one OF them this time, wrote
invitations TO picnic on the Fourth and
signed the names ofthree young men as q
committee. Some OF those invited went,
I'only to find no picnic there, while others
got themselves ready and waited till too
late to 60 to any other picnic, for some one
to come after their baskets. Put the two
actions together and can anything much
meaner be imagained?
Every day or:so some one starts report
that three or four persons have died the

wonders why SO many are dying. Such
reports have been started so often lately

the prospect OF having cool night OF It

thoughts Of trying Alexander's method OF
untying knots, managed to get their
clothes Strengthened out. One OF them,
