The Lapwai Agency.
Lewiston Teller,


The Nez Perce Indian commission
have been at work all week, at Lapwai,
where grand conference of the tribe Is
being held to make treaty for their
lands. The government Is represented
by the members of the commission.
Robert Schleicher of this city, being
chairman, and Cyrus Beede, of Iowa, and
James Allen, of Washington city, beng
the other members. The Indians are
gathered in great numbers, and are COM
ing in every DAY. Probably six or seven
hundred are in attendance. They are
represented in the council by such noted
braves as James Reuben, Bob Moses,
Archie Lawyer and others of the richest
and most influential. P. B. Whitman is
the interpreter for the members of the
tribe. The council met first on Monday
when the government laid down a prop
osition to the Indians to buy their
surplus lands. A lengthy talk was
made in which all the big Indians took
part. This closed the conference for the
day. They asked time to consider
whether or not they wanted to dispose of
their lands. Since that time they have
been holding conference among them
selves, considering the proposition to
sell. From all that can be learned the
matter is working properly and an agree
ment will be reached. Mr.. Beede has
himself expressed the opinion that if the
matter can be adjusted with the Indians
the government will take action at once
and open the reservation. He thinks that |
it Is the intention of the department to |
close up the matter during the present
administration.

THE CONTRACT LET.

The bid of Day & Co., of San Franz
cisco, for the construction of the locks
at the Cascades has been accepted by
the secretary of war, and it only re-
mains for them to file bonds IN the re-
quired amount fer work to begin.
This is the consummaticn earnestly
desired by the producers of Eastern
Oregon for many years, and means
that the Columbia river will be an
open highway to the sea in a few years
The first work was done on the locks
in 1876, and since that time, under
control Of the war department, pro-
gress has been slow. Through the
earnest efforts of our delegation in
congress last year, the canal and locks
were placed under the contract sys-
tenn, and bids were advertised for the
construction Of the work by Major
Handbury, to be opened November Is.
The bid of Day & Co. was found to be
the lowest, and this was reported to
the secretary of war with the recon-
mendation that it be accepted. In the
early acceptance of this the war de-
partment has done great favor to
the Inland Empire, and the people will
consider this the most fortuitous event
that has happened in the history of
river improvements in Oregon. The
work will be prosecuted with vigor, as
it will be to the interest of The con-
tractor to complete 1t at the earliest
possible date, and selfish end will
also be subserved to keep down all un.
necessary expenses.
An open river means wealth and
prosperity to every portion of that
vast region of country drained by the
Columbia and its tributaries, and the
beginning of an era of industrial de-
vslopment that has long been dasrred
by those who have always placed i'm
plicit faith in the rich natural re-
sources of this favored part of the
northwest. Where one acre has been
devoted to agriculture heretofore, with
cheap transportation to seaboard the
area will be more than doubled, and in
short time the hillsides will be dotted
by vineyards and Eastern Oregon
fruits will furnish rich export trade.
The Columbia river basin, the trade
Of which created the first wealth accu-
nulated in Portland, will soon be freed
from her fetters, and in business and
commercial Importance will be second
Co no other place on the Pacific slope.

Myers entering. The lawyer insisted
upon going in, but the Jailer seized a
