On an Equal,

IF the suggestions Of Indian Commits
sioner Oberly are to be acted upon it will
in the course of generation or two, make
the Indian superior to the white man, un-
less the latter meanwhile improves his
opportunities. Says Mr.. Oberly: "'The
and all the schools that are opened for his
children should be schools in which they
will be instructed in the use of agricul-
tural implements, the carpenters saw and
plane, the stone mason's trowel, the tailor's
needle, and the shoemaker's awl. And
the Indian should be taught not only how
to work, but also that it is his duty
to work" Not only are the youth Of Am
erica not being taught to work with
their hands, but they are being brough,
up to regard manual labor as degrading
Every word Of Mr.. Oberly's in the sen
tences quoted is just as applicable to the
whites as to the Indians.

IMPORTANCE or SILVER.

A short time since ths leading European
banks, in round numbers, held $587 ,000,-
900 in gold and $448 100000 silver. In
all the other banks, omitting the bank of
England, the gold was only $40, 900, 900 in
excess of the silver. Throughout Europe
silver is accommodating faster than gold.
The bank of France during the past year
has reduced it's stocks of gold by over
$13, 3,000, 900, and increased its silver by
nearly $8,O00,O00. These facts are Of
much interest to this coast in showing
that silver money is increasing in i'm
portance in Europe, while it constitutes
one-half of the metallic reserves, and
probably holds much more than that pro-
portion in actual metallic circulating
medium. The coin balance in the smaller
banks throughout Europe would doubtless
show much larger proportion of silver
than the larger representative banks as
given above. In these figures the single
silver standard Of Russia is not taken into
account,

The great Sioux Indian Man-Dicker,
representing all the tribes Of the North
west, after being announced by furious
war whoop, called at the LEADER sanctum
last night in his war paint and brandished
his tomahawk around in the most un-
affectionate proximity to our Uranium;
and, but for the timely intervention of
the foreman and devil, there is no doubt
we should have been scalpcd! that is if
the hair on the top of our devoted head
would have permitted that interesting
surgical operation. The savage was
finally pacitied by the assurance that
hereafter we would leave the Great Fal-
len Tribune "alone its glory.'

TO MARK THE BOUNDARIES,

The Montana Mining Review suggests
the enactment of law compelling per-
sons holding tracts Of land under United
States patent to maintain posts or monu-
ments at each corner Of the same, SO that
anyone engaged in prospecting could de-
termine the locality and extent of claims
so held; and, upon failure to do SO, max
ing said owners Of patented ground liable
for damages to the amount Of any money
or labor that may be expended by inno-
cent parties thereon. The expediency Of
such a statute will become apparent to
the legislator upon moments consider
alton. We concur with the Review in
respectfully commencing the subject to
the attention of the legislature.

skeleton of u mastodon, buried about
twenty-five feet under ground, ut u point
which had evidently been u whirlpool or

perfect, having without doubt been de-
posted there while the hide was yet in

is estimated that the pile of bones would
weigh 5000 pounds or more. The tusks

LITTLE TIMBER LAND GAMES.

"The woods are literally full of tim
Der land hunters" said an Astorian
just returned from the southern part
of the county, to the writer yesterday.
"While going out this time to the
Nehalem l saw at least hundred men
looking for timber claims. The whole
country is being taken up asonishingly
fast"
"How is that surveyor getting along
near Mishawaka"
Il hear. that he has thrown up his
contract. He couldn't make decent
day wages at the price he was get
ting"
Il .saw.,you had an article in The
Historian last week about swindle
that's going on. What is said there
is so, and every legitimate settler out
there says so too; but you didn't tell
the half of it. There is man here
now; / saw him on the street yester-
day, who is Offering for $50 to locate"
man on $50 acres of government
land He has a whole lot of men out
there now. The land is not yet sur
veyed, and, of course, isn't open for
anyone to go on to it. But there
they are, and good many have orn-
cry shake houses, just an excuse for
house, while they bunk and really live
in a large house 1880 used in com
mon."
"Where abouts is this tract:"
ut is in township 6 north, range
8W."
what do you suppose their OBJ
ject is?"
"Why its plain enough. When
the surveyor ever does come along,
he will in making his maps, mark
wherever they. are ''squatters," and
when the land is thrown Oh the mar
ket they will have the first chance
at it."
The trouble, however, with those
folks calculations will be that they
cannot (unless they commit unblush-
ing perjury swear that it is agricul.
tural land: for every bit of it is tim
ber land, and nothing else.
As matter of fact they will ac-
quire no right whatever, it being tim
Der land, and they will be out their
time and money.
1t is probable that before January
1st, 1890, the present timber land law
may be repealed, and there is natur-
ally scramble to get hold of the fast
diminishing area OF valuable spruce
and fir in this county before congress
closes the gates. At present, all over
Oregon and Washington, it is being
taken at the rate of twenty sections a
day.

Ida Klmball's Funeral.

There is something unusually sad
about the funeral of a bright and
blooming young girl like the late Ida
Kimball, who only week ago was on
the street and at her daily work, ap,
parently as far from death as any OF
the girlish companions of her own
age whom We daily see 60 by.
Her funeral yesterday was an ex,
preston OF sincere sympathy. The
masses of flowers, the grief SO mani
fest, the large following of friends
and relatives, all testified to poignant
regret.
The steamer was filled, and upon
arrival at the landing the funeral
procession was swelled by a large
number Of those who had known the
departed from infancy.
1t was the largest funeral seen at
the old Clatsop burying ground fol
twenty years, and as the fresh noun d
Of earth was heaped above her in
animate form, it might with truth be
said:
Tears fell when thou vert dying.
From eyes unused to weep.
And long where thou art lying.
Will Grief the cold turf steep.
Green be the grass above thee,
Friend of our early days.
None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise.

On motion it was ordered that the

Back on The River Agsia.

1t isn't often that a coast captain
after his vessel has proved a total
wreck and he has got the insurance
on her can get back in safety to his
home port on board the same vessel.
Yet that is what Capt. Lutjens of
the Kate and anna has done.
The Kate and Anna was a little
schooner on which Capt. Lutjens
made many trip to Yaquina with
freight, and back to Astoria with pro-
duce.
Eighteen months ago he left for
stormy northern seas, and a part of
his subsequent history is writ in rec
Ords of sealing.
Last March his little craft was cast
away in Mishawah bay, Alaska, he
and three of his crew escaping and
jOurneying down the desolate beach
amid great hardship.
Capt. Lutiens got the $1,000 insur-
ance on his schooner, which lay aban-
dOned, where she went ashore, and
tried to buy another craft, But he was
unsuccessful, and at last returned to
the hulk of the Kate and Anna, he
managed after fashion to patch her
up so as 10 safely sail in smooth sum-
mer seas, and two weeks ago he again
set sail for Astoria, arriving here in
safety last Sunday afternoon.
He will have the Kate and Anna
thoroughly repaired, and the little
vessel with so wonderful a career will
have some more interesting history.

A Little Bit OF A Smashup.

At eleven o'clock last Sunday night,
Capt. w. II. Whitcomb was streaking
down the broad Columbia, in the
pilot house of his steamer, the Cas-
cGdes, whistling There's a Light in
the Window for Thee" and keeping
an eye on the three stone barges he
was towing down to where the broad
ocean meets the river stream.
Up from Astoria came sweeping the
four flyers, the Potter, LtIrli7le,
Thompson, and Telephone, in the
order named; as he was about abreast
of Kalama, the Potter went by him
full tilt, the swash smashing the
guards, and a portion of the bow of
the boat and breaking the towing post,
four planks and three deck timbers
of one of the barges.
"Holy Smoke" said Whitcomb, IF
these boats don't slow up, some body
will get hurt some of these nights"
He has requested steamboat cap
tains when passing him with his con-
voy of barges to go slow and the
Telephone has always complied,
