The Indians Must Go.

1t is about time that the land owners
about Mile Laos were taking steps OF
some kind to put stop to the further
wanton slaughtering of fine young
naples, oak, and other valuable
timber on the part of the Indians who
still linger here. The Indians have
been paid over and over again for
any interests that they may have had
here, and they are now not only tres
passers but a perfect nuisance and
they should be removed to where they
properly belong without any further
dilly dallying.-Mille Laos Pioneer.
