Exports of Agricultural Products.

Exports of Agricultural Products.
There is a world of thought for
farmers in the record Of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what it was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
seasons brought the bountiful crops. of
course, u GOOD times, created by the
protective tariff, advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption and
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record Of exports of wheat and -four
in values is as follows:
Four Years. Three Years.

Total value. Sab, 7O5,O12 1888. 3O4. 419
Av'ge per year.. 1o7, 92e,253 IT, eS, 13s
It is apparent that the farmers are
receiving $40, 000, 200 a year more for
their wheat and its product which are
sold abroad than when times were duh
in this country.

Joseph Not Wanted.

Last Saturday ripple of excitement
was caused by the appearance of Chief
Joseph in Enterprise. He was accom-
panied by two lazy tribesmen, named
George Peopeo and Philip Andrews. be-
sides James Mclaughlin, Indian In
spector, and a half breed named Edward
Reborn, the official interpreter. The
party arrived by private conveyance from
Nezperce, Idaho. The object of Chief
Joseph's visit at this time was to see what
show he and his tribe had of regaining
foothold in this beautiful valley. This
action is also the result of visit which
the wiley old chief paid to Washington
about two months ago, when he asked
permission to leave the Colville reserva-
ton and take up his residence again in
the Wallowa valley. He made a strong
plea to the government officials stating
that it was the determination of his tribes
men to settle down to farming as we'll as
grazing. On the strength of this flimsy
plea the secretary of the interior directed
Indian Inspector Mclaughlin to accom-
pany Chief Joseph to this valley and
there inspect the land to which the
chief and his tribesmen desired to return,
and the officials also instructed Mr.. Nc
Laughlin that great care should be taken
to select land adaptable to agriculture
rather than grazing. There are about 1870
in the band, which includes men, women
and children. Old Joseph wants about
70, 800 acres of land. He claims that the
climate at the Colville reservation, in
Washington, is too cold, and furthermore,
he is DESTROYS of living again near the
scene of his childhood days. and also to
be near the remains of his father, who is
buried at the forks of the river about
three miles above the town of Wallowa
After remaining here all day Saturday
the party went on to Joseph and while
there also visited the lake which the
chief is DESTROYS of having included in the
large tract of land which he asks the
government to purchase for him. From
what information we could obtain from
the old chief, while conversing with him
it seems that he has niisinformed the Of
icials at Washington in regards to the
progress made by the settlers in the cul-
tivation of the land of this valley, he
having informed them that the valley
was sparsley settled and very few i'm
provements, when in fact it is thickly
settled, and has as highly cultivated
farms, and handsome residences as can
be found anywhere in the Willamette
valley. It is preposterous to even dream
of turning the results of so much labor
over to band of lazy. shiftless Indians.
Petitions have been circulated and signed
by all the citizens protesting against this
contemplated outrage and we trust the
government will act for the best interests
Of the citizens. Enterprise (Ore.) Bulle-

That the literary pathway is not all one
of roses has been demonstrated again by
the filing Of a suit Thursday by Angus

The trouble arose over the publication
of Mrs. Hutton's book. 1.-THE Occur d
Alenes, or A Tale Of the Modern Inquisi-
ton in Idaho wherein that gifted
authoress has taken occasion to express
opinions and make assertions regarding
q number of well known citizens of this
county. The particular language to
which Mr.. Sutherland objects. and which
he asserts is false and libelons, is the fol-
lowing:
"This man Sutherland has a past record
that may account for his being chosen as
an officer of the law and order league.
In 1884 Sutherland had brother living
in the southern part Of the state, who re.
fused to pay man his wages who had
worked for him. The man shot Suther

brother for refusing to pay him his hon
