Silaue For Beef.

Everywhere the feeding Of silage to
dairy cattle and beef cattle, horses and
hogs is attracting each year more and
more attention. The Ohio experiment
station has recently completed test
in which it was established that corn
silage under the conditions Of the ex-
pertinent had value Of $4.63 per ton
in feeding for beef. In view of this,
let any one not feeding silage consider
what he is losing when an acre of corn
makes ten to fifteen tons Of silage.

Taken to Prison,

This week the Judge sentenced Jacob
Hartwig to eighteen months in the
state prison for forgery. This is the
party who forged checks and had
them cashed. He plead guilty early
in the term and has been sentenced
and taken south to prison. Hartwig
was bad man but some of his acts
would not impress one as the acts Of a
clever crook, rather of an ignorant.

OF Famous Stock.
In the line of ancestry Umapine has
much to be proud of. His father,
whose name also was Umapine. was
the chief figure in a deed that pos
sibly saved Pendleton from an Indian
attack. 1t was during the Bannock
Piute war of rs. The Bannocks and
Piutes under Buffalo Horn and Egan
had swept down from Idaho and
hoped to cross the Columbia to con-
meet with the Yakimas in a general
war upon the people Of the inland
empire. At Willow Springs they
fought with a company of volunteer
cavalrymen under command Of the
sheriff of Umatilla county All af-
ternoon a fight was waged and sever
al of the whites were killed. That
night the remnant of the company
escaped in the darkness and while re-
treating toward Pilot Rock were met
by a squadron Of regular cavalry
hurrying to their rescue.
Killing of Egan.
At that time the people of Pendle-
ton were fearful lest the Umatilla's
would join with the blood thirsty
Piutes. But though sullen the local
Indians remained peaceful. Under
pretense of joining the warriors old
Umapine and a number of Umatila's
went to the camp of Egan who was
then in command of the hostiles,
Buffalo Horn having been killed
Claiming the Umatilla's would also
take the war path If he, Eagan, would
meet with them, the Piute chief was
tricked into leaving his camp. When
he reached the Umatilla's the cry of
Soldiers, soldiers" was raised and a
melee was started in which Egan was
killed. His head was brought down
to the commanding officer at the
agency.
At the time of the Piute war the
present Umapine was 21 years of
age. He remembers well the events
Of that time and likes to talk about
them.
Wants Quicker Payments.
Apparently the first duty of Una
pine as the Cayuse chief will be to |
urge the government to make speed |
Ter payments to the allottees on the |
This winter the October
payments, or many of them at least, |
have been delayed and that the In
dams dislike. In talking about the |
same, through his interpreter Satur-
day, Umapine said the government |
was acting like man who tied a |
horse in barn and then did not feed |
him.
Umapine is also opposed to the sale |
Of heirship lands to the white man,
though he says such cannot be stop
ped. He would like to see his peo-
pie stay together. He believes that |
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-08

an Indian should do some work un-
less he is too old. For his part, he
believes he is at the age when he
should retire from any arduous labor.
He says he is now 5S years old.
In the past Umapine has been one
of the most active of the old time
Indians on the reservation. He has
made two trips to Washington in
hopes of changing the governments
policy toward the local Indians. Now
that he is chief of the Cayuses he
will doubtless be more active than
before.
The Cayuse Chiefs.
Since the death of Ta-wi-toy, sew
eral years ago, the Cayuses have been
without a tribal leader. No Shirt
has been the chief of the Walla Wal
las and Amos Pond of the Umatilla's.
Umapine, thought a Cayuse, was the
sub-chief of the Walla Walla's. 9th
er Cayuse chiefs before Ta-wi-toy
were Young Chief, Showaway and
Willawootkin, the father of Young
Chief.

Georgia Prohibitionists to Prosecute

Dccduse Ol WHISKY ADVERTISEMENTS,
AT a meeting of the trustees of the
Georgia Anti-saloon league held in
Atlanta it was decided to prosecute
all newspapers in the state which car
ry whisky advertisements on the
ground that these papers are hired
agents and solicitors for whisky
houses.
The Georgia prohibition law ex-
pressly forbids the soliciting Of or
ders for whisky in any way Judge
W. A. Covington, attorney for the
league, was ordered to prosecute the
papers at once. Superintendent Rich
ards of the league, in speaking of the
papers, said:
"They are violating the law in car
rying whisky advertisements, and we
feel sure our prosecutions will result
in convictions. In fact, we have been
told by high officials that such prose-
cutions would undoubtedly be sustain
ed in the courts"

Tertiary at the time Of the report 215
were under sentence for terms of less
than five years, 127 were under sem
tence for more than five years and
less than a life term, "a were under
life sentence and 43 were under in
determinate sentence
The literate prisoners number 404
and the lliterate Is. There are 226
prisoners recorded as temperate and
1913 as Incorporate. The classifica-
tion by occupations show that of the
whole 419 there are SO laborers, Sc
farmers, % teamsters, 81 cooks, 10
walters, 10 miners, II carpenters, II
firemen, 10 bookkeepers and 10 en-
gineers, the remainder being divided
among all other occupations in small
er numbers There is not a preacher,
lawyer, newspaper man or school
teacher in the list. There are three
women.
1O3 Catholics, 100 Protestants.
Practically half of the prisoners,
2O7 have no church affiliation. OF
the remaining 212 there are 103 Cath
olics, 106 Protestants, two Greeks and
one Jew.
The classification as to age at the
time of commitment shows that one
was Is years old, 81 were between
Is and 20, 100 were between 20 and
%, rs were between 25 and 80, and
the number gradually diminishes
with age until there are but two
over 65 years of age.
OF the practical workings of the
sentence and parole law
The prison chaplain, Rev. E. w. st.
Pierre, says:
Seventy-eight men have been re-
'eived at the penitentiary under this
OF that number Al have
,een released. Of those released 6
lave been returned to the prison.
Four more have broken their parole,
hiefly by failing to report. In round
lumbers this gives us 75 per cent to
he good; not a bad showing when it
5 remembered that the execution of
his law is in its experimental stage
rith us. We need at least two things:
'irst, more accurate observation on

mt criticism. Second, We need a

ing statistics.

That Umatilla county is the second
county in the state in the number OF
prisoners in the state penitentiary, is
shown by the biennial report of the
superintendent, C. w. James, who has
classified the prisoners as to their
crimes, length of sentences and coun-
ty from which committed. Multnom-
ah county leads in the number of
prisoners as it is the county with the
largest population. Three counties
in the state have no prisoners at all.
These are Benton, Lincoln and YAM
hill.
The Oregonian in regard to the
representation says:
In many of the other counties
there is a remarkable variance be-
tween population and number of
prisoners sent to the penitentiary.
Linn county, for instance, has only
four convicts, though it is one of the
largest counties in point of popula,
ton. Marion, which is the second
county in the state in population, is
SUI pdSseu ny OHidlllld, DdheI, OlloH
and Wasco counties in number of
convicts. 1t is perhaps worth while
to note that the three counties which
have no prisoners are in the dry
column and have been for more than
two years The classification of pris-
oners by counties, the figures being
for October 1, when the biennial
period ends, is as follows:

Umaplne is now the chief OF the
Cayuse Indians. AS such he has been
duly elected by his tribesmcn and
chief he will be until his death. He
announces that as the head OF his
tribe he will do what he can Cor his
people and that he wishes to please
his white brothers.
The following official announce

been furnished the East Oregonian
by Umapine through his interpreter,
Leo Sampson.

I, on the first day OF February 1909,

tilla, Walla Walla and Cayuse as to
be the chief OF the Cayuse tribe OF

And I will hold the name OF Chief
Umapine. as head man of the Cay
uses As to the custom of the In
dlans no salary is allowed. I will, as
my duty will be, to look after the
reservation matters. Heretofore

And all my people win hereafter
know Of my change from sub-chief
to higher chief. SO this will remain

my people also my white brothers.
This is all to inform my friends
who are residing here in the city of

CHIEF UMAPINE.
OF The Old School.
In many ways, Umapine, new chief
of the Cayuses. is n striking charac-
ter. He Is of royal blood and his
personality well fits him for chief
tiancy He Is an Indian of the old
school of everything except in dress.
He dresses I'm white mans garb and
is near in appearance. But he is no
educated Indian. He does not even
talk English. Neither does he drink
whiskey.
At the agency office Umapine is
usually regarded with disfavor. He
is classed asa trouble maker. His
ideas of how Indians should live and
what they should do are incompatible
with the governments theory in the
matter Being n natural leader he
represents his tribesmen before the
agent and before the government,
trying to have his deas adopted. But
