Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1899-06-08

A peculiar condition Of affairs in ag-
riculture exists in a portion of Oregon
occupied by the Eastern Oregon In
dams. Nominally these tribes have
abandoned their tribal relations and
their members have taken land in sew
crafty, but instead of occupying the11
farms they rent them to whites, who
pay a rental of from $3.50 to So an acre.
The crop raised is almost invariably
wheat and when that grain sells at so
cents a bushel the farmer makes a
profit of about $25 an acre from each
crop, the cost of production being
about $3.50 an acre. These Indian
farms embrace 100 acres of land each
and as they are being carried on under
the rental system the white man is the
one who is most profted, but so general
is the rental system practiced that only
one Indian in the three tribes cultivates
his own farm. The lands were allotted
to the Indians in the winter of 1857,
and to show how shrewd bargain the
"untutored savage drove with the
Government, it is told that he admitted
to the tribes very many whites, who
had slight mixture of Indian blood in
their veins, upon the payment of an
initiation fee varying from SIS to $500,
as the chief saw fit to impose. The fee
being paid the chief saw that none
were sighted when it came to divis-
ion of their lands, and about thirty-five
white men took their share Of Indian
lands. For ways that are dark and
for tricks that are vain the American

den, with few friends whom he trust
ed more than any others, sat in his
armchair, his slippers off, his feet in
cased in the wooden socks which had
been favorites with him since child
hood days, and toasted them before the
fire of hickory logs, and revealed his,
plans for the campaign, his plans for
the commission, and sometimes, when
in a philosophic mood, told his philos-
ophy of human nature, of politics and
the commercial influences that made
men successful in his day.
Those were his happier moments, but
it always pleased him to show discrim-
mating friends the choice works in his;
library, the beautiful collection of en-
cravings and etchings, and he could be
complimented in no surer way to draw
from him thankful smiles than to ex
press admiration for the lavish and yet
artistic decorations with which he
beautified the interior Of the house at
the expense Of over 100000. All Of
that expense goes for naught. The
house sold for a little more than
enough to represent it's actual value as
a piece of real estate.
