y,oulIndlsns md Their cOsttoMsxico,

America, the excelIently we'll in. formed Catholic weekly of New York, prints the following:
 Although no serious person will look upon George Kibbe Turner's articles otherwise than as a means to sell the magazine for which he writes, it is we'll to give an account of the campaign which the Mexican government has carried on against inc Yaquis. Both during and after colonial times, il has been forced 10 subdue them in order 10 prev5rrfrrr f their depredations. During 4 per iod of peace the cacique Caj4me succpeded in uniting he two tribes, the Yaqui and the Maya, and the result of this union was the equip ment of about 5000 warriors. Ca ieme ruled with absolute power over the two tribes until there arose among the Yaqui tribe a party of opposition headed by Lo. relo Molina, 3 former cacique. They took refuge in the port of Guaymas (Souora), where they remained until January, 1885. At that time bind of thirty armed men of Molua'5 party went toward the Yaqui river to attack Clieme's house and kill him. In part they succeeded, for they burned his house and made his family prison CTS. Ca -me, at the time, was ah sent. Caj-me thaU asked the com mander of the port of Guaymas to surrender his enemies, and stated that if they were not delivered within three days he would de- clare war. The commander did not accede to Cajeme'5 request, and soon afterward l,h00 Indian war riors appeared in the Valley of Guaymas. This was the beginning of the late period of the Yaqui war, which under different aspects has continued for twenty.four years. The Yaquis were defeated in 1886 by General Angel Martinez and more than 2,000 prisoners were taken. The Indians sued for peace when their resources were ex haused; but during the periods of tranquility they supplied them selves with arms and ammunition which they generally bought ir Arizona.
 In a council which took place al Ortiz on the Sonora railroad, tht Yaquis, headed by their chief Ietabiate, swore faithful obedienc, 10 the government. But after { period of two years the tribe took up arms, killing the mis,ionarie. as well as the other white inha bit ants. When they once more wer, routed, they fled to the Batet, mountains of Sonora, not to built new homes and live in peace, a Mr. Turner says, but to enter upol aguerrilla warfare.
 The history of Sonora record
 many instances of the cruellies o
 these Indians. One of them is tn
 following: One Sunday afternoon
 nve young men who were hunlin
 were attacked and killed by party of Indians. The aulhoritie
 ol the state examined into the case and when the guilty parties wer convicted they were sentenced {
 death. Mir. Turner gives us tw photographs of the execution (
 'neSe Indians, but, of course, he careful 10 omit he cause that cal He

haunts, they could be useful 16 themself and to others. The de. portation plan was adopted. In 1906, the first party of Yaquis was sent to Yucalan. The last party was sent in the fal! of 1908, and since that time not single Indian has been sent 10 Yuca;an or any where else. The number of those deported was from 5000 to 6000, counting men, women and chil- dren. The measures taken to sub- due the Yaquis have been most successful. These Indians are not ed for a great love for their soil jS- 5r.-"'iis iSs was that du$ing the latter part of 1908 the Yaquis who still remained in rebellion (20,000 to 25,000 in numberl submitted to the government and since then they nave remained peaceful, work ing either on their own account or in the mines and farms of the sur rounding towns.
 Mir. Turner tells us that G. G
 Lelevier wro'e him to the effect that General Angel Martinez used 10 hang the Yaquls because they
 refused to betray their companions.
 If lhe,e charges be true, the Mexi
 can government can not be blamed,
 because in the same letter we are in- formed that the general was remov. ed when the federal government was
 informed of his deeds by the chief of the geographical commission.
 One of the two examples of Mexi-
 can cruelty which Turner quotes
 from Santa de Caborca (whom he
 considers to be a highly educated 1 woman) is exaggerated, and the
 other is absurd. In the first place,
 it is charged that the number of
 Yaquis hanged at Navojoa in 1892
 was so large that the supply of
 rope in town was exhausted. Now
 the method of execution used by
 the Mexican government is the
 rife, and this method would cer.
 tainly be used with greater facility
 than hanging ny he general of an
 army in actual service.
 The second charge is that in July
 1892, two hundred Yaqui prisoners
 were dropped into the ocean, all of
 them periehng. What advantage
 could the Mexican government de- rive from such cruelty? Was il
 not more logical to send them tc
 Yucatan and make $13,000 out ol them, since according to Turner , himself the Yaquis are sold to the Yucalan hemp planters at $65 a , head2 Mr. Turner made the trip to Yucatan with a Mexican officer who disclosed his way of making } money to a stranger and gave out names of persons. who, while hold , ing high positions in the govern , ment, were accomplices in the slave trade. But the names of these per 5 sons Mir. Turner, perhaps out o l the bounty of his charity, has failed
 to mention. Many letters of pro 5 test have been sent to the editor o f the American Magazine, but the, e were not published because th, i, editor "has not found them to b g of any interest" On the othe a hand, a number of letters hay s been published Tn the same maga }, zine corroboraling Turner's state e ments; but the majority of thes o letters arc putlished without sigma o lures.

ALL SMALLPOX CASES
TO Be QUARkNT|NED

The commissioners of Ravalli county
met Thursday and transacted some
important business the chief matter
being the passing stringent regula-
tions regarding the quarantine of
smallpox patients. The text of the
regulations passed is as follows:
"All persons afflicted with smallpox
hereafter will be quarantined for
period of four weeks. Also all per-
sons who have been exposed to small
pox will be quarantined for two weeks
and the premises fumgated. The
county will care only for smallpox
patients who are county charges, and
the county attorney is Instructed to
vigorously prosecute any doctor or
case of smallpox 10 the county health
officer"
The contract for the care of the
county poor and INDECENT was award
ed to ]. F. Barnett, on basis of 81 so
per capita per week. This was the
only bid submitted.
The board made an order allowing
Mrs. Lena Glasson of Victor the sum
of $40 per month and Mrs. Maggie
Dobbins of Corvallis $40 per month.
The county attorney was instructed
to see that the county road east of
Corvallis be opened. Some time ago
H. X. White and others petitioned the
commissioners to close the road. The
order was not made but the petition
ers fenced it in such action being
claimed to be unlawful. Hence the
order to the county attorney. In re-
gard to the road petition presented by
S. A. E. Williams and other, in which
the petitioners pray for the establish
ment of road west of the town of
Victor, the board appointed Leonard
Oertli, l.. M. Powell and H. c. Croft
to act as viewers and decide what
should be done. The plats of the
Pine Grove townsite and the Teale-
Young Orchards were examined and
approved.
