To the Merchants.

United States Indian Agent
Wisdom has issued the following
letter TO the merchants of the
Creek and Cherokee Nations:
The recent rules and regula-
tions promulgated by the secretary
of the interior, under the general
provisions of the act of congress
approved June 2Sth, 1898, go
Statutes, 495) make it obligatory
upon the United States Indian
agent to receive and receipt for all
royalties paid into his hands when
accompanied by sworn statements,
in duplicate, and it his duty to
collect all rents, permits, revenues
and taxes, of whatever kind or
nature, that may be due and pay
able to the Creek and Cherokee
Nations, as provided by these laws.
"The Cherokee Nation imposes
tax OF one-quarter OF one per
cent. on all goods or merchandise
introduced into said nation, and
the Creek nation imposes a tax Of
one per cent. on all goods or mer-
chandise so introduced.
"This tax must now be remitted
to me to be placed to the credit
of the tribe to which it belongs.
This remittance should cover the
amounts which are due the ma
tons since July 1st, to December
1st, 1898, and if you have not paid
to the tribal authorities what was
due the nation prior to the passage
of the Curtis act, this amount
should also be remitted to me.
"You are requested to acknowl-
edge receipt OF this letter, and
advise me when | may expect
mittance from you.
Very respectfully,
Dew NJ. WISDOM,
United States Indian Agent.

DOGS LIKES AND DISLIKES.
which Illustrate Their
PecuIiarities.

Animals, like human beings, have
been known to exhibit strange antip-
ethics toward certain persons and
things, dogs, perhaps, more so than
any other of our four-footed friends.
That famous canine, Oriel Bill, of
Oxford, was for a time such violent
hater of postmen that it was not safe
for any uniformed letter carrier to
approach the Aiitre, where Oriel Bill
held undisputed sway. Accordingly
arrangements had to be made for all
missives to be left at an adjoining
house by the postmen in order to save
their feelings-physical as well as men
tal-and the dog from venting his GU
rious aversion upon them.
The same precaution had to be taken
in the case of another but less famous
canine. Until postman was foolish
enough to throw a stone at this animal
without tie least proyocation it was
on good terms with all the letter car
riers who called at the house. After
that, however, furious hatred of her
majesty's postal servants took posses
sion of this previously amiable cur,
and when it had severely bitten one
Of the postmen they all refused with
one accord to deliver letters at the
house.
The owner of the dog complained to
the British post Office authorities, but
the latter supported their subordi-
mates in the attitude they had taken
up, and in the end the complainant ar
ranged for his letters TO be delivered
at place where there was no canine
that delighted to bark and bite.
At hotel in west of England town
there is a dog which exhibits an in
tense dislike for soldiers. What are,
the why and wherefore of this feeling
toward our gallant redcoats it is i'm
possible to say, but the sight of one
has the same effect on this eccentric
canine as red rag has on bull. The
consequence is that the dog has to be
kept severely under restraint, so that
soldiers can come and go without run
ming the risk of losing a portion of
their anatomy in the process. What
makes this antipathy toward them all
the more remarkable is the fact that
the animal shows decided partiality
for policemen.
terrier belonging to friend of the
writer will run mile at the sight of
siphon. When it was considerably
younger than it is now its owner del
uged the dog with siphon of soda
water, and ever since it has exhibited
a mortal dread Of siphon, full or
empty. The remembrance of that un-
expected bath is evidently responsible
for this extraordinary aversion.-Lon-

GETTING TO BUSINESS.
Treaty Commission to Or
ganize Today.

The report from Tahlequah in
dicate the prospects favorable for
an early agreement being reached
by the commission appointed to
negotiate with the Dawes COM
mission. Col. R. B. Ross is slated
for chairman and the commissi on
will organize today if c. V. Rogers
arrives at Tahlequah. He is now
or has been serving on the United
States grand jury at Muskogee /.
The provisions that will make up
the agreement have about all be en-
canvassed and agreed upon tacitly.
The general opinion is that an
agreement will be reached and
that it will be accepted by the
people.
1t is said the agreement to be
made will contain a clause requir-
ing adopted white citizens to pay
from $500 to 81 900 for the priv
ilege of sharing in the allotment Of
Cherokee land.
We understand the newly APP
pointed Cherokee commission pro-
pose to incorporate into the treaty
a provision to locate two United
States courts permanently, which
will be probably equivalent to a
division OF the Northern district.
Just at this time there is being
manifested an activity in the de-
mand for town property in Vinita
that is not easy to explain. At no
time since the establishment Of
the townsite has there been a
greater state of uncertainty as to
title to real estate. But if it means
anything out of the common order
it means that large number of
good people have decided to re-
main in Vinita and take the
chances as to the final outcome
The citizen portion of our people
should have every assistance in
acquiring title to town lots consist
ent with right and justice to the
owners OF this country, and when
the Cherokee nation makes a final
transfer of title to the individual
the rights and interests of all
classes can be easily protected.
The thing we all want is more
people, more privileges and big
ger and better town. So far as
business is concerned Vinita has
no competition to fear from other
towns, and her prospects are as
bright for the future as the most
ardent enthusiast could wish.

SILVER AT PAR.

A correspondent at Wrens asks:
WAS silver eyer at par with gold ?
II 50 how lorg was IL and what caused
IL 10 depreciate to its present value p
Silver was always at a par with
gold aud often at a premium until
struck down by hostile legislation
since 1873.
10 1873 the standard silver dollar
was secretly omitted from the coin
age act. For so years prior to 1873 in
the London market gOlG and silver
maintained a par value at 15i TO
both bullion and coinage value.
When the Sherman act was passed
in 1891 silver jumped from 1903 cents to
sl.23 an ounce.
0Demonetizlng silver last year in
ndia caused it TO decline 20 per cent
in few hours.
Silver would stand at par today II
all legislative privileges were granted
TO 1t that are granted to gold.
Why ? Because the demand for
legal tender money Of full debt paying
power is practically Unlimited.
The interest on the national public
debt now amounts TO twice as much
as the total output Of gold.
Without silver we would have abso-
lutely no coin basis for our currency
whatever, and the silver money of our
country is at par now with gold for
that simple reason and no other.

dOne,at the eleventh hour. after both
Howell & Ward had secured the towu
% raise 71orey 10 make tbe defalca.
tion coed. To most people this seems
like guilty knowledge aud admission
by both parties.
But IL is said the bondsmen are
god; that the county will lose moth
ing. IL they are good, why do they
not make the county whole and stop
talking about IL. The truth OF the
matter is, the bondsmen are waiting
for the receipt Of the funds from the
assests Of the firm OF Ho~ell & Ward
Then II they fail to secure these re-
ceipts.lt is presumed the county must
90 without its money. There was 10
provision in Mr.. Wards bond that
the county should wait on the settle
ment Of anybOdy's estate or an as
siguee's sale. The money is due the
county now,aDd the bOndsmen should
PIT IL up at once.
At the first trial Of the ex-treas =
urer, District Attorney Cleeton ut
tered these words 10 his argument TO
the jury: "If the sworn Official who
has the custody OF the county's
money fails to apply it as the law
prescrlbes, aud refuses 10 account for
it When commanded by the county
court, cannot be convicted Of conver-
sion OF public fluids, we had better
put the Office Of treasurer up at pub
lie auction and let it go to the high
est bidder"
The people generally will admit
that the above utterance Of Attorney
Cleeton is warranted. The public
funds are 10 longer safe. The taz-
payer is robbed and he ecannot recover.
,fhe guilty parties are brought into
court, and juries, influenced by SYM
pathy, the eloquence of a hired ad
yocate, or lack of honor. or intelli-
gence, acquit them, and put the seal
Of approval Cd criminals aud allow
them TO enjoy their plunder. Instead
OF judicial system where wrongs
Sdu DC lClnCulCuJ laws eulOICeus I6
lief granted, and offenders punished,
our courts are fast becoming traps for
the unwary and the last resort Of
for protection. Bonds to
insure the people against loss are a
deluslon, trick to lull the people
into fancied security. When called
on tO make good losses or defalcatiUns,
bondsmen falter and finally fail. and
the taxpayer has 10 pay the bill.
The people Of Clatsop county will
turn with amaZement, disgust and
from the verdict in
the Ward case. They will take cog
nizance of the crime, and seek rem
edy at the polls. Tried and true men
will be sought out in the future.
Party nominees will fall before the
people like sheep If they have no in
dividual capacity, merit or integrity. |

loot the county must be swept out of |

At hand. June will bring the cyclone. |

CITY BUSINESS.

AT the last meeting of the Salem
City Council Mr.. Legg, young
member of that body, set forth a
theory of business which it is to be
hoped our city fathers will not adopt.
In fact, it is to be hoped the council
will establish rule exactly the oppo-
site of that set forth by Mr.. Legg.
His idea is, that the city should
AVOID the expense of having plans
made and bids advertised for in the
matter of building and repairing
bridges. This is certainly a bad
business principle TO establish, for if
there Is any one thing that good pub
lie service demands 1t is all possible
publicity and competition in these
matters. Mr.. Legg probably did not
realize that he took position in this
matterdirectly opposed to good public
policy, and for his sake as well as for
the city's sake, his friends hope Mr..
Legg may get himself right on this
question.
