Portland, July 29.-The forest fire
situation in the Pacific northwest is
much improved owing to rains. The
Idaho Pine Creek fire is still burning
furiously, and has eaten up nearly
four square miles. One hundred
men are fighting IT. Practically all
of the smaller fires have been ex-
tinguished or are controlled. Fires
in the Clearwater district are now
controlled and Washington fires near
Hoquiam are nearly out The dry
weather however means more fires.
A large fire is burning on Grouse
creek in Washington, fifty miles north
Of Spokane. Several sections are re-
ported burned over.
In oregon, rains have relieved the
situation and the small fires in the
Cascades and Coast mountains are
nearly all out. The big fire on the
north Santiam river in Linn county
is stin burning but is gradually dying
! out

To determine the extent to which
the Indians on the Umatilla reserva-
tion are capable of bearing the per-
sonal responsibilities OF citizenship.
the interior department has appoint
ed a competency commission, which
will examine the three tribes on the
reservation. The members of the COM
mission are: f. ]. Sommerville,
Pendleton Edwin l.. Swartzlander,
superintendent OF the Umatlla Indian
school. and Charles E. McChesney,
special Indian agent
There are about 1900 Indians in
volved. belonging to the Cayuse, Una
tilla or Walla Walla tribes. The re-
port of the commission will indicate
who are capable of managing their
personal affairs entirely free of gov
ernment control, those who are quail
flied in this respect under restrictions
concerning the alienation OF their
lands. and those who are wholly in
competent and regarded as wards OF
the United States.
This is the second competency COM
mission to be appointed, the first op-
Grating among the Omaha Indians.
The result of the experiment among
the Nebraska Indians demonstrated,
in the opinion of Indian officials, the
wisdom of this means of determin-
ing the qualifications of the red men
and ultimately. It is expected. all OF
the reservations will be likewise ex-
amined.
DIR. McChesncy Is Here.
DR.. McChesney arrived yesterday
and was at once taken to the agency
It is not known however, just how
soon the commission will get organ
lied and start to work on the prop
osition in hand. Major Swartzlander
said this morning that they had not
yet received their instructions from
Washington. though notice of their
appointment had been received. He
did not know exactly what they
would have to do or what would be
the ultimate result of the commits
sion's work.
In discussing the great problem oi
handling the Indian affairs, in re-
cent number Of the Sunset Magazine
Robert G.. Valentine, United States
commissioner of Indian affairs said
perhaps the chief step which We
have taken recently along the righ
lines is the establishment of compe'
tency commissions. Many of the In
dlans. through the handling of theil
lands and moneys and by means Of
the education they have received botf
by books and at Jobs, have become
ready to take their places in the citi
zenship of the states. The question
up for decision Is as to the competency
OF any individual. Hitherto we have
handled this business largely on thu
recommendation of the local agents
depending of necessity upon his judg
ment in deciding the case at Wash
ington | have felt that even with th
straightest and broadest gagged super
intendent on the ground, our actor

not properly represent all of the in

lose sight of broader principles in tn
immediate facts before him. I,

the height of the interesting

Interests of State Represented.

IF the interests of the state are not
concentrated in some such man to rep
resent the real welfare on this COM
potency board the personal and some
times selfish interests of individual
citizens of the state are likely to OBJ
scure the question, shutting out the
real ultimate interest Of the state and
the community. For example, a or
= or C, one or all want to get control
Of that Indians land. c. and d want
to sell him liquor. Z and F and q
want to give him credit, all together
and separately representing forces
which will not ony inJure that partic-
ular Indian. but which will vitality in
jure the community in that If they
have their will the community will
have as a part Of itself, not a self-re-
specting self-supporting citizen, but
a pauper or a drunkard or a vaga-
bond as a burden on its tax-rolls.
'The member Of the state on this
commission is bound to see deeper
than these individual interests of some
OF his fellow citizens and see that,
while all the ordinary competitive
forces in a community which try out
the fibre Of citizens, whether red or
white. must be given reasonable play,
the stronger elements must not be
allowed to play on the weaker to an
unfair degree. The credit of the state
and the welfare of the community are
even more on trial than the ability of
the governpent as a guardian.
THE principal to bear in mind is
that while the government should not

the appearance of two strangers
They were Frenchmen who inform.
ed Pike that Governor Alencaster
of New Mexico had heard that the
Ute indians were about to attack
his party and had sent an officer
and fifty Dragons to protect them
The dragons soon after arrived
and Pike went outside the fort to
meet them and invited the officers,
Don Ignacio Saltelo and Bartalome
Fernandez, to breakfast with him
The soldiers told him that they
would accompany him to Red
river. What" exclaimed Pike,
sis this not Red river?" "No
SIR" said the soldiers, it is the
Rio del Norte. y" Pixies first act
after receiving this information
was to order his men to take down
the U. S. flag which had been fly-
ing over the fortification whic'
he had unwittingly erected on
Spanish soil.
The soldiers insisted that Pike
accompany them to Sante Fe and
this he at first refused to do III
til the two remaining men left be
hind, could be brought in. Finally
half the Spanish force was left
behind to look after the helpless
and Pike went to Santa Fe, q
journey of eight days. Pike in
telling of the event expresses
great reluctance at abandoning
the fort built with so much labor,
and which he says was admirably
situated for defense. But be-
lieving that the soldiers had Or
ders to bring him to Sante Fe,
by force, if necessary, he thought
hest to show an entire willingness
to make an explanation to the
governor rather than appear to
go under constraint.
