w. J. Mcconnell, government Indian
inspector, was in the city Sunday. Tie
ex-slate senator from Yamhill. ex-U. 5.
senator and ex-governor of Idaho is a
rustler and just the man calculated for
the position that he now holds. He has
been over at the Siletz agency and fiuds
things in a state far from. satisfactory.
At the Grand Ronde agency things have
been running at very loose ends, accord
ing to what the inspector saw and learned,
aud his report to, the secretary of the in
terror will probably make interesting
reading to the people of this section
when ready to be given to the public.
Mr.. McConnelps idea is that the whole
Indian system needs thorough revision
and overhauling. His recommendation
will be watched with hinterest.-McMinn-
