land Jumping Anout TO Begin.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 21.-A Reuiea0
special from Colville, Wash, says: Last
night large delegation of the best elti-
zens of Stevens county enlisted their
energies in the proposition 10 open the
Colvllle Indian reservation. For this
purpose very large, enthusiastic meet
Ing was held at Kettle Falls. 4 dlscus-.
sion of the history of The reservation and
the facts that established it as such were
handled by all the legal talent of the
county, and from conclusions drawn by
them the impression was left that in
reality the reservation had been acquired
by whites in due course of conquest, that
the Indians were simply tenants by suf
ferance, and the restoration of the land
to the public domain was simply matter
to be determined by voluntary appropri-
alton. The idea has electrified the popu
lace of Stevens county. Everybody that
has claim to portion of the public do
main.i is bent on getting on the reserva-
ton at all hazards. Miners are out
fitting singly and in groups, bound for
the west side of the river, and those who
have had rich prospects covered up for
years, waiting for the government TO open
the reserve, are losing no time getting
there. It Is estimated that there will be
1000 people from the adjoining country
on the reservation IN less than ten days
for the purpose of taking possession of
the mineral and coal deposits alone that
are known to exist. The reservation
comprises nearly 100000 acres of land,
much of which Is auailpble for agricul-
ture. Timber is plentiful, and it Is
veritabe paradise. The people are
heartily tired of the dilly- dallying meth
DDS which seem to be pursued by con-
gress in having fictitious Indian titles
settled by the general government.

Portland Oregonian:: ]. c. Boyd, the man.
ager of the American Colony Company, 10.
Gated at Springfield, Oregon, has hit upon a
novel plan for advertising the horticultural
resources of this state. He has purchased
a lot of Oregon's choicest silver prunes, and
Is having them neatly wrapped in tissue
paper and enclosed in small envelopes.
There Is only one prune in each envelope,
but the prunes are so large they will aver
age about twenty to the pound. Mr.. Boyd
will start east in few days with the first
lot of $1,000 prupes, and distribute them
through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michi-
gan. He has about 500. 1000 prunes con.
tracted for and will send for more as soon as
the supply gives out. In this way eastern
people will be able to see for themselves
what Oregon raises in the line of fruit.
The prunes were raised in the orchard of s.
P. Sladden, adjoining the city.

few leagues distant from Caracas. When

vessel. For time there was panic
among the passengers and crew on board
the steamer. Then the captain hurried
ashore and lodged complaint with the
French consul general. The consul
promptly entered a protest against the
outrage, He was met with the most alb
ject apology. 1t was all a mistake, be
was told. The officers at the port sup
posed the vessel carried the rebels and
had fired upon her under that lmpres.
