that are being allotted in severalty to the
Stletz Indians, has returned to this city.
He says the Indians are quite Indifferent as
to whether they receive the land or not.
The most of them have no higher ambition

want to farm their own land. The work of
allotting the lands is not yet completed.

dealt "stud" poker, says the Statesman.
The novelty of the situation brought
coed play to the table, which was sur
rounded during the week by young men

This is perhaps the first time in Salem
that woman ever performed such
labor and the sight was as sad as 1t was
novel.

past. Papers were prepared and filed by
District Attorney Bingham and service has
been had on the officials of the company.
| The action seeks to have the charter of the
Oregon Pacific annulled, as it is claimed
that the company has violated almost its
every provision. 1t is thought this suit
| now instituted will spur the company to
some definite action that will be satisfactory
to the employees.
