Raise Hops on Cannns Prairie.

OcosTA, WASH, Dec.1,, '92.
EDITOR f. Pin a recent letter
from your locality notice that the
great difficulty with farming inter-
ests is the lack of railroad trans
portation, and that all future pros
poets hinge upon this one need.
The matter revived an old cOnclu-
sion of mine arrived at while on a
tour of inspection through that
magnificent section of country, viz !:
The proper thing to do in the stu
alton is to raise crops that require
little difficulty to transport, and
this crop it occurred to me is Hops.
] searched for the plant on the
ground, and succeeded, as expect
ed to do, in finding a plant thriving
near a building, where it evidently
had had no care for years. ] found
the vine a few feet high only, while
down at Lewiston the plant at the
same time of year was twice the
height. But as an experienced hop
raiser l would say this need not
affect the situation. Hops, in the
greatest hop growing section in the
United States, thrive where the
season is barely long enough for
wheat to mature and where wheat
positively cannot be raised because
of frost upheaval, Otsego Co.. N. Y.
The land in the county referred to
is pine land or surrounded with
pine trees, and a sugar pine stands
in one of the yards where hops are
raised. The product is very easily
transported out and there can be
no reason why, it seems to me, that
Camas Prairie, place free from
any established vermin should not
be a paradise for hops.

THE Indian Problem.

A private letter to the editor
from the Lapwai agency informs us
that the Commissioners have offered
the Indians 81 800, 900 for the sur
plus un-allotted lands on the reser-
walton and that the Indians know
their advantage and stubbornly re-
fuse to accept that or any other
proposition, and no man living can
tell what the outcome will be, or
when the lands will be coded, or
whether they will consent to cede
them on any terms.
These Indians have some pretty
iong-headed advisers and they may
be content to forego the immediate
possession of 81 100000 in the ex-
peotatisn of getting as much again
in a short time by adopting their
present policy of mastery mac
tivity." The present interesting
complication is the natural result
of the governmental policy of DEAL
ing with the Indians in the dual
capacity of " Wards of the nation
and " Sovereign tribes" In a Sc
ries of letters published in the sore
CONAN" in 1885, in when the Wri-
ter hereof discussed the Indian
problem, we pointed out with what
reads like prophecy to-day, an ex.
act description of the present dead.
lock concerning the disposition OF
the surplus lands ON the Nez Perez
reservation. The government poll
cy declares that the allotment sys-
tenn shall be made on this or that
reservation, and proceeds with the
allotment, and when it is complete
a commission is appointed to in
duce the Indians to accept the al
lotment and dispose of the surplus
for a nominal sum. Sometimes they
succeed and sometimes they don't.
In the present case the Indians are
masters of the situation and dispo-
sed to take advantage of it. We
hope the matter will be quickly
adjusted, but it is just as well to
look the facts squarely in the face
and take human nature as you find
it-especially Indian human ma.
ture.

Sunnyside school house was the
scene of a most enjoyable occasion
on Saturday evening last, the event
being highly instructive enter
tainment consisting of dialogues,
Orations and recitations, inter.
spersed with vocal and instrument
al music rendered by the pupils of
the school under the supervision of
the teacher, Mrs. Nora Crea. Space
forbids personal mention of those
taking part in the exercises, but
the entire program was rendered
in manner highly acceptable to
the large audience present, as was
evidenced by frequent bursts of
applause. The exercises were con-
Guided by selling shadows, demon
strating the deceptiveness ofoptical
vision. At least, many of the boys
entertained that opinion, for each
was striving to obtain the shadow
of his best girl" After close ex-
animation of the silhouette dimly
outlined on the canvas, the bidding
would be quite lively between sew
eral of the young men (of course,
each was satisfied he was bidding
for his girD until the last bid was
made and the lucky bidder went to
the front to learn in some instances
that he was successful in getting
the wrong girl, but was amply re-
compensed in enjoying a daintily
prepared lunch by his shadow. L,
was midnight when the guests de-
parted, wishing Mrs. Crea and hel
scholars that success would contin
pe to crown their efforts. G.

He Was Wise.

There's at least one lawyer in
Detroit who has his doubts about
the immortality of human affairs,
and he is serious man with wife.
1t is his custom to put on h is Office
door, when he is going out tempor-
arily, notices somewhat of this
character:
"Gone to lunch; back in half an
hour"
"Gone to court; back in three
hours"
"Gone out to see a man back in
ten minutes"
And so on, IS the circumstances
may require, and as he is prompt
man, callers are generally success
full in waiting for him.
One day last week a caller found
this on his door:
"Gone shopping with my wife;
back the Lord only knows when"
The caller being a married man
himself didn't wait; neither did
four ladies who called in a body,
for they were going shopping them
selves.
