Death Of Morris MartinsOu.

About two O'Clock yesterday the sad
news reached this city by telephone
from .)uliaetta that Morris Martinson
was dead; that the good boy, the true
friend we have all known so long, had
passed To the better life.
He was engaged with the Idaho
Cold Mining Co. at Pierce City, when
he met his death. n large. blast had
been placed in the rock cut and the
men had taken position to await the
explosion. Morris Martinson was 200
feet from the blast. \ shower of rock
was hurled into the air and some OF
the men lodged into shelter out OF dan.
ger. Martinson dodged, as il to enter
the blacksmith shop, when he slipped
and fell. The rock which he tried to
dodge struck him upon the back Of the
hca" aud death followed instantly.
The accident occurred Tuesday at

Indian MoLGy Again!
$275, 900 WILL BE Discussed
NEXT MONTH.
To Improve Clearwater.
Congressman Wilson Is Working Vigorously
for the Appropriation Makes q
Strong Argument.

The Indians will receive II payment
of >275, 900 in about three weeks from
this date. The amended rolls have
been completed, upon which the delay
ed payment of 5000 will be made.
Col. Lane was expected to arrive at
Lapwai las. evening to prepare for this
disbursement of the second installnlent
of principal. There will Ike II good deal
of work necessary to adjust the rolls to
present conditions. The deaths aud
births make constant changes, and the
last roll was not complete. The disaf-
fected element did not lend aid to the
clerks last fall There were many
children and others who were not regis
tered before the first payment was
the oojector.'. These people are now
repentant, and they insist upon having
correct family registers filed with the
disbursing clerks. Col. Lane will sup
erintend this work. 1t will probably
require three weeks to complete the
revised list.
The later payments Will he made
regularly. The adjustment of claims
have made dates uncertain in the past,
but in the future there will be no con-
tiicting questions to he adjusted. a
payment Of $l5O,OOO, with interest on
the principal, will be paid every six
months after the date of the next, un.
til the remaining $3.50, 600 is distributed.
This will require three and half years
The effect of the payment Of this
cash is n" longer co, lecture. The
first distribution of u large sum created
some furry in business circles. The
Indians were illustrated by sudden
wealth at that time, but they have
learned some lessons in economy. The
former payment was largely deposited
by the discreet members of the tribe,
and squandered toy the reckless ones.
The coming payment will enter the
channels on conservative lines, and the
benefits will be more general from this
payment than from the other. The
fact that this money is to be paid out at
intervals of six months, for the next
three years, warrants many years Of
prosperity for Lewiston and vicinity.
Col. Lane has been promoted
from special Indian agent to in
spector. The new commission gives
this efficient officer a wide range of
usefulness and more patronage. In
his new position he determines
what work should be done in his
jurisdiction and others are called to
execute his orders. He will prob
ably remain at Lapwai till the pre-
liminaries pending the payment
are arranged.

Congressman Wilson has been
making fight for his appropria-
ton for the Clearwater river. On
March I4th he appeared before
the river and harbor committee
and made an argument which is
reported in the press dispatches:
He argued that the improvement
of the Clearwater was especially
necessary at this time, on account
Of the opening of the Nez Perce
Indian reservation and the large
influx Of settlers whose lands
would be practically valueless un-
less transportation facilities could
be provided. The Clearwater
flows through this reservation.
The fact that the secretary OF war
did not recommend this appropri-
alton is all that initiates against
it, as the committee heretofore has
insisted that only appropriations
be made where recommendation
therefor was set forth in the secre-
tary's report. There have been,
however, two surveys o! this river
made, one in 1887, and one in 1884
and it is hoped, that based upon
these surveys and estimates an ap-
preparation can be secured. If it
is impossible to secure an appro-
priation, Mr.. Wilson will contend
tor the survey. Mr.. Wilson used,
as further argument, the fact
that the government has expended
81, 600. 900 for the lands In this
reservation, and is to be recon
pensed therefor by the sale of the
lands to settlers at the rate of S3.75
per acre, and that unless this i'm
provement is made, the govern
ment never will sell the lands, or
or at least not for many years
The fact that only 10000 acres
has been taken out of an aggre-
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1896-03-19

gate OF Soo,o 900 acres Is proof IN
support of this contention. As
these lands are what are known as
wheat lands, and are located OH an
average of so or 90 miles from a
railroad. they are of little value un-
less this great waterway is i'm
proved so tnat it can be navigat ed.

Probate court and attached some

Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1896-03-19

The Indians are in II measure uncer.
tain about their relation to the laws of
the land. There is apparently some
confusion on questions of jurisdiction.
The federal laws have extended over
the reservation very generally in the
past, but the segregation of tribal rela-
tons and the distribution of their
lands. have made them citizens Of the
state. The Indian courts. too, have
been considered i'm the bearing of juris-
prudence upon the aborigines. These
are OF no force and effect in the present
status of the case, but the confusion
still remains in this continued shad-
owy existence. The sooner matters of
law which touch upon Indian citizen
ship can be regulated by legislative en-
actment and court rulings, the happier

Ii Hung Chang a Disappointment.

Chang has been received with the
greatest enthusiasm and hospi-

leaving grief behind him. Great
things were hoped from his visit,
a German coaling station in China
big orders to German firms, etc.,
but no such orders have been given
and nothing has been done. Secre-
tary Detring,of the Chinese states
mems staff, returning thanks on
behalf OF LII Hung Chang at q re-
cent banquet for thelreception &C
corded the latter, said:
"The Viceroy hopes that no dis
appointment will result from his
visit. The object Of his journey
was to promote friendly under.
standing between China and Ger.
many, and he profited by the oc-
casion to inform himself more
completely regarding the capabili-
Ties OF German industry. When
he returns to China he will report
upon all he has seen,
This appears to be cold comfort
