CAN'T TELL. 'TOTHEIt FROM

How would 1t do to shelve Bryan
and nominate Jeffries Davis or Tom
Watson for President? OF course, they
would not get votes enough to put
them In the also-rnn column; but
wouldn't the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch and the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
and a few other Democratic contempo-3
raries be supremely happy?
These questions are asked by the
esteemed Bristol Herald. Courier. We
cannot answer for the yirginian-
pilot; but we are perfectly frank in
saying that Jeffries Davis or Tom
Watson would suit us as we'll as Mr..
Bryan; that is to say, If we did not
feel that we are in n way pledged to
Mr.. Bryan until after the lection in
1870, We think rather more of Wat
son than we think OF Davis, because
he ia really of a more decent sort and
has much greater ability; but either
OF them would get as many votes rs
Mr.. Bryan, or at least come as near
being elected as the splendid Nebras-
kan. Generally speaking. they hold
to very much the same political views
we believe. our main hope is that we
shall not be called on to redeem ou1
pledges to support Mr.. Bryan, because
nobody can tell where he will be II
1890, and what paramount" he vii

down to the insides Of the case Davis
or Watson. or Debs or anybody els
would do as we'll for a losing fight
The chief pleasure In nominating Mr.
Bryan would be derived from seems

SELL INDIAN LANDS
First Sale of Allotted Lands on Klam-
ath Reservation Will Be Made at
Expiration of go DAYS.

The first sale of allotted lands on
the klamath Indian reservation will
be made at the expiration of so days.
Under the regulations governing the
allotments the heirs of an allottee
have the-privilege of selling the in
heTited lands. Three quarter sections
are now being advertised. The law
requires that before the lands can be
tranferred they must he advertised 10
newspaper of general circulation for
period of 60 days. AT the end of
this period the sealed lids arc opened
and if they are up to the estimate
placed on the land by the Indian agent
and if the bid is satisfactory 10 the
| heirs, then a deed can be issued,
However, several affidavits must
| first be made that the parties to this
transaction are not conspiring to de
fraud the government.
The lands to be sold are said to be
good for raising stock. Much of the
Klamath reservation is especially
adapted to raising cattle and horses.
During the past week the Indian agent
has received 100 full blood Hereford
and Shorthorn bulls from Nebraska.
These will be distributed among the
Indians free of charge. Last year 1000
young heifers were distributed among
| the Indians. THEFT herds are being
brought up to the standard by the i'm
portation of this fine stock. The In
dians are given full possession but
cannot sell the cattle given them. Il
| is believed that next year the klamath
reservation will be opened to settle
ment. The Indians are now using
very small portion of the As town
ships included In the reserve. The,
allotments made cover a very small
portion OF the whole area. When
this vast area is opened to settlement
it will add greatly to the wealth Of
klamath county.
