| silver certificates come into your possession,
scrutInize them carefully. and if the words,
This certities that there have been de-

A few days ago two Indian boys and two
Indian girls left the enclosure of the school
at Warm Springs contrary to rules, and 1t
was decided to send the boys to Chemawa.
This was objected to by the parents, who
desired their sons to remain. The great
objection to Chemawa appears to be by
reason of the climate, which is said to be
unhealthful. This created quite an excite
ment among the Indians at the agency; but
the boys were sent below and quiet again
reigns.

clerk. Dugald McAllister, a native of
Scotland who declared his intention of be-

Britain and Ireland. Mr.. Chas. F. w.
Levin, native of Germany, also availed
himself of the privilege, and reDounced
his allegiance to the young Emperor
Willism. May they live long and prosper
and always vote the Republican ticket.
Throughout Eastern Washington and
Oregon the prospect for an immense wool
clip this spring is most encouraging. The
season is so far advanced that the assertion
may be made with almost unqualified posi-
tiveneess that better yield Of wool was
never taken in these parts than will be
shorn in a few months. Not only is tie
quality excellent, but the quantity will be
large owing to the mild winter, which has
occasioued no loss among the hocks, as well
as to the added number placed upon the
ranges.
Many people throughout the state are not
yet familiar with the fact that Oregon is
