RESERVATION LAW.


The act Of congress passed February 3
1887, affords the opening wedge, so tc
speak, for disposing Of these reservations
although the law is not what it should
be. 1t is entitled San act to provide fol
the allotment oflands in scveralty to In.
dams on the various reservations, and &c
! extend the protection Of the laws Of the
United States and the territories over the
Indinps, and for other purposes. After
fully providing for the allotment Of land
in severalty to each Indian belonging to
any reservation the law provides az
follows:
That any time after lands have been
allotted to all the indians Of any tribe as
herein provided, or sooner if in the
opinion Of the president, it shall be for
the best interests of said tribe, it shall
be lawful for the secretary of the interior
to negotiate with such Indian tribe for
the purchase and release by said tribe, in
conformity with the treaty or statute
under which such reservation is held, O!
such portion of its reservation not allotted
as such tribe shall, from tina to time,
consent to sell, on such terms and ccndi.
tons as shall be considered just and
equitable between the United States and
said tribe Of Indians, which purchase
shall not be complete until ratified by
congress, and the form and manner of
executing such release shall also be pre.
scrihed By congress. Provided however,
That all lands adapted to agriculture,
with or without irrigation, go sold or re-
leased to the United States by any In
dian tribe shall be held by the United
States for the sole purpose OF securing
homes to actual settlers and shall be dis
posed of by the United States to actual
and bona ffie settlers only in tracts no,
exceeding l6O acres to any one person, on
such terms as congress may prescribe,
subject to grants which congress may
make in aid of education"
1t would have been much better for
the Indian IS we'll az for the country at
large If this act had provided outright
for the disposal Of all lands left of the |
reservations after each is supplied; bu.
the tendency is in that direction and
perhaps the next act Of congress will be
what it should be. In the meantime
those Interested in the opening of these
should take steps to secure
promp: action under the lav as it now

erocM rRCrE INDIAN LANDS.

In view of the proposed allotment o
lands of The Ncz Perez reservation, ant
the purchase of the surplus by thu
government. the recent order TO remove
stock from the reservation is most mex
plicabla. For twenty years and more thu
Indians and whites have dwelt here il
the most neighborly and reciprocal
manner, sharing with ench other the use
and occupancy Of the whole country in
common Of pasture. with scarcely q
nurmur; true, at times little opposition
has cropped out, but never to take
definite shape. 1t has been recognized
fact by the Indians that the presence OF
the whites has afforded means of traffic
whereby many have grown rich and
opulent; has enabled them to advance
steadily towards civilization. While
some may have preferred to continuc in
their barharic way, this is not to be
considered, FOR that il a condition that
must inevitably have an end in this
rapidly progressive government. The
whole system of Indian wardship has
been changing. From the support of
the race in idlcpcss and ignorance we
have advanced to aplane Of industry
and education minds that were dark
and slothful have been spurred on to
enlightenment, activity and even brilli-
ancy hands that were palsied by in
action have been lifted to bear the
burdens that all must bear, and thrift
that follows not fawning fills the land
with fairness. Why, then. is the policy
Of this government SO shaped as to
paralize this growth, and releeate the
matter to its former deplorable condition
Has any responsible authority asked thi,
thing? Or is it tho machination of
sore-heads and schemers Look we'll to
the source, the occasion, the require
ments before destroying the advantages
gained which have cost the labor OF lives
and Of years. What does our govern
ment not owe to the hardy toilers who
have pioneered their way to this far off
Indian country, and amid continuous
hardsbips, have made to blossom land
that 80 long lay dark and unknown,
. people that almost within
one decade have brought to
a condition Of statehood. four great
political divisions OF this glorious Union.
IL there no balm in Gilead? Why de.
press the hearts already bowed with care?
Our mortal spirits are not proud; yet
We would ask our own. We would ask
the great Father OF our Government that
he hold in obeyance those measures that
can only Cypress us and yield no perma.
nent good to the race he is trying to ele-
vate.

WILLARD.

On last Friday evening Henry Willard
spoke to an audience of business men
that completely filled the New Park
Theater at Portland. During his speech
he rehearsed lis past achievements as
railroad builder, and proclaimed himself
as still the special friend and champion
OF Portland. At the conclusion of his
speech, which was received with much
applause, Mr.. Willard answered several
questions. As these questions and an
swers are Of vital interest to Walla Walla
We give them in full:
Q-Do You approve or condemn the
construction Of the system Of roads
known as the Hunt system? Why are
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
through Hunt, building roads south of
Snake river?
A.-The first Hunt road was built
before l returned to the Northern
Pacific board. Every member. of the
Northern Pacific board knows have
since then been steadily opposed to any
further construction By Hunt or anybody
else in the Walla Walla country. in other
words, in 'tcrritoay that l considered as
legiiimately belonging to the 0. r. &
N. Go. l have not been able to prevent
it. During the last year aud half l
have made efforts to purchase the Hunt
lines, with the idea of turning them over
to the O. r. & N. Co., and that is one
part Of my proposal before apverted to
that forgot to mention. The plan upon
which the O. Il. & N. Co. Doe. that
answer your question ? [Great applause. !
Q.-Are any of the Northern Pa,
cific directors aiding Hunt and interested
in his road?
Al believe there is one Northern
Pacific director, and only one l need
not say that l have not dollars worth
OF interest in any Of these roads. There
is but one Northern Pacific director who
has ; need not name him, for he is we'll
known. and makes DO ccncealmcnt Of the
fact.
Colonel McCraken was called for, and,
coming forward, stated that he wished
to ask Mr.. Willard whether to his knowl.
ledge the Oregon & Transcoptinental|
Company did ever at any time contribute
from its treasury to the construction of
Mr. Hunts roads?
Certainly not one dollar at any time,
uuder no administration, either mine or
the preceding one; not one dollar" he
replied. "On the contrary, as l intim. |
atcd before, have tried my best to pre-.
vent the construction Of I'm additional
mile of road beyond what was built when
l returned to the Northern Pacific board.
| told Mr.. Hunt twice to name his price,
that would buy him out and he has not
been willing to sell. I have the assur.
ance OF the Northern Pacific director who
is interested in the Hunt rords that he
has not been in favor of the additional
construction that has been going on the
past year; and l know that the executive
of the Northern Pacific. Mr.. Cakes. who
sits here on this stage, has been working
with me in trying to induce Hunt to stop
his construction and sell his roads, l am
the father Of the Oregon Railway Il Ma.
vigation Company, aud l should consider
myself mean fellow if l deliberately |
promoted any scheme that would suck the |
very life blood out of my own creation.
