DO NOT BE IMPATIENT.

In ur great eagerness to bring
about settled Conditions in the In.
dian Territory we should not for.
get that the Indian is yet a factor
in naming the conditions of the
change, and will yet have some
thing TO say as to the speed with
which the contemplative changes
shall be brought about. In the
resolutions that are being passed
throughout the country, prepsra
tory and in anticipation of the big
convention at South McAlister
on the 22nd, the real Indian and
his rights are in a large measure
being ignored. The burden OF
most Of -uch deliverances seem to
be the destruction of tribal reven-
ues left from the wreck of their
courts. Now the Indian must first
get his rights before we can ex-
pect to have better government.
The lands must be allotted to the
individual Indian before the white
man can hope to get any Of il by
purchase Cherokee lands could
not now be purchased at one
thousand dollars per acre. The
town sites ought to be settled, but
the Indians must have something
to say a. to how they are settled.
1t is certainly short sighted pro-
ceedure to undertake to have con-
gress ignore the tribe and listen
to the kind of resolutions that are
being passed all over the country.
The tribal revenues which the
government has pledged itself TO
collect and place to the credit Of
the Indian tribes are the property
of these Indians and We have no
right TO ask congress to interfere
at this time. They will all be
abolished in due time anyway.
While in the Cherokee nation
there are few Cherokee citizens
who want to wipe out the revenues
of the tribe, most of the Indians
don't feel that way and they are
in position to block legislation
and prevent the very thing most
of US want to bring about. Let US
stand by the Indians and help
them 20 get their affairs in better
shape, and not get impatient and
rush on in advance and do some-
thing that will retard instead of
accelerate the thing wanted. The
government in this matter Is un-
ques,ionably on the side OF the In
dian against those who want to
abolish all tribal rights and rush
pell NELL into unprepared state
hood.

Two years ago the price Of ordi-

pound, or $32 per ton. A few
months later the trust was formed,
and the price of paper was at once
advanced an average Of S. ton.
Prices have since steadily ad
vanced, and during the last three
months the price has reached an
unheard of figure.

Wheat Field Burned.

The first big fire of standing
grain in the Palouse country was
the destruction Monday afternoon
of so acres of fine fall wheat be-
longing to Daniel Kinsinger, about
ten miles south of Colfax, toward
Almota, says the Gazette. The
wheat promised yield of at least
80 or 50 bushels per acre, and is "a
serious loss to Mr.. Kinsinger, as
he has not a dollar of insurance,
and not a straw of the fine field was
left standing.
Mr.. Kinsinger was at a neigh
boris when he observed the fire and
rode quickly over with the inten-
ton of extinguisbing it, but says
he could not approach near it, and
that the roar was terrific.
That no other fields were des-
troyed is due to the fact that the
burned wheat had summer fall
lowed land on three sides of it and
the wind drove the fire away from
the other side.
Mr.. Kinsinger is of the opinion
that the fire originated from a
spark from traction engine, which
had passed the field an hour or two
previous. The blow is severe
one to him. He figures the loss,
with harvesting expenses deducted,
at nearly $1,000.

Our Exports of Provisions.

0"suIy department, the eX-
ports of provisions from the United
States during the fiscal wear about
TO end will exceed those of anv
previous year. The total will be
fully $lS0,00O,O0O, thus averaging
half million dollars a dav, and
surprising the phenomenal record
achieved In that record-Ireaking
year, 1899. For the eleven months
ending with May, 1900, the total
exports of provisions, including
meat and dairy products, is $780,
IOI,o34, against $159,378,603 for
the corresponding period of the
hScar year 1899. Of this large
sum, the principal items are, lard,
with a total export during the IL
months of $38, 691, 900; bacon, with
a total of $35,468,00 hams, $1S,.
$4,000; pork, SO, $4,000; oleomar-
garine, $50 400, 900; and beef, 1850
OOO
American beef is finding an en-
Iarged market abroad, especially in
the United Kingdom, France, At
RIGA and the Orient. Comparing
the exports of the II months end
ing with May, 1900, with those of
the same months of1S99, il is found
that the United Kingdom increased
her purchases of canned beef from
S1,959,000 to $2,937, 900; France in
creased hers from $31 ,057 to Sill
254, while Germany showed slight
decrease, the value falling from
1921 ,942 in 1899 to $241, 56S, rep
resenting a shrinkage of half mil
lion pounds in the volume of ex-
ports. To Asia and Oceanica the
increase was from $158,O00 to $780,
900, and to Africa from $437, 1872 to
S,O33, 700, representing an increase
in quantity of export of more than
100000 pounds over 1899. In
the export of fresh beef, the prin-
cipal increases are to the United
Kingdom, with total of 500, 113,-
$40, as against $20,830,940 in 1899,
and to the West Indies, which took
in 1900 total of $389,O39, against
less than one-tenth of that amount
in 1899, when the total was but
$34,O27.
The hog products, including pork
hams, bacon and lard, no marked
increases occur, the figures for 1900
scarcely equalling those of the pre-
vious year. 1t is gratifying to OBJ
serve, however, that our export
trade in cheese is showing evi
dences of revival, the total for the
II months showing an increase of
100000 pounds, representing a
value of over 81 100000 over that
of last year. For 1899 the total
was less than that of 1898, being
30,995,6S2 pounds, valued at 80
705, 240; for 1900 the total is &c.
795, 124 pounds, valued at $780,
853. OF this increase, practically
the entire amount was in our eX-
ports to the United Kingdom,
whose share of the total was 49,
100000 pounds, valued at SO, 1923
600, against 100000 pounds,
valued at 81, 100000, last year.

STANDARD OIL STOCK.


NEW YORK, October 15.-The high
record for Standard Oil stock smashed
utterly today and the stock went soar
ing. The opening transaction was at
1856 a share, which has heretofore been
the record, and with jumps of three ana
four points between sales there was an
advance to 1888. The final quotations
were $3.50 bid, $5S2 asked.
The advance was accompanied by re-
ports that another very heavy dividend
will be declared in November The di-
vidend for the last quarter was per
cent, for the quarter before that 10 per
cent, and for the first quarter of the
year 20 per cent, making a total of S5S
a share, or $3S, 900, 900 already paid this
year on 500, 900, 900 of capital.
On the second day of this month the
stock sold at $685. so that there has
been an advance of nearly fifty points
in less than two weeks.
