INDIAN WAR VETERANS.

The Oregon Indian War veterans,
in session at Salem this week, adopt
cd the following resolution, offered by
T. A. Wood Of Portland:
Whereas, The territorial legislature
Of Oregon did in 1866 contract with
the volunteers who enlisted and served
in the Oregon territorial Indian wars
Of 1866 and 1856 by act of the legisla-
ture to pay said volunteers the sum of
81. 90 per day for their services, as an
inducement to secure their requisite
number to aid in putting down the
Indian hostilities, which ragged from
the California line ON the south TO
the British possessions ON the north,
and from the Rocky mountains on the
east, to the Pacific shores on the west,
and
Whereas, The volunteers by enlist
ment aud services accepted the terms
Of said contract, and
Whereas, The territory or its sue
cessor, the state Of Oregon, have not
paid said sam, or any part thereof, and
Whereas, The United States paid
about 54J6 cents per day for said ser
vices, and
Whereas, There yet remains about
81. 40 per day unpaid, for which the
state of Oregon is morally and legally
bound to pay, be it therefore
Resolved, That we ask the legisla-
ture of Oregon to pay said obligation
in per cent 20 year bonds, and ap-
propriate in the bonds the sum Of
$500, 900 for that purpose.
Resolved, That the failure to meet

of its activity. Mrs. Pipes is pupil

about 40 miles from Prineyille at the
farm Of the deceased, known as the
old Carson place, near Moury post
Office The farm was rented and in
possession of Charles Roberts, who
did the shooting. Both men were
armed with pistols at the time and
the trouble seems to have been brought
about by a misunderstanding regard

livestock. After the trouble Roberts
rode 40 miles and delivered himself
up to Sheriff Smith at 2 a. IN. The
coroner, accompanied by doctor and
an attorney, went to the scene OF
the trouble to make an investigation.

There is no likelihood of an extra
session of the Legislature. Governor
Geer is quoted as saying "that no
emergency has thus far presented it
self that would warrant his putting
