tention while the Professor, in glow
ing language, pictured the beauty of
the scenery, the grandeur of the noun
tains, the richness of the soils and
wonders Of the Oregon country and
Lincoln county. The lecture was H.
lustrated by the pictures Of many Of
the pioneers who helped to open up
this vast wilderness and to lay the
foundations upon which the great
state Of Oregon is being built. 1t was
also noted that good many Of the
Siletz people were on the canvas and
among them was the picture of Sam

as boy played on the banks Of the
ripping waters of the beautiful ST.
letz while his father, the Hon. Ben
Simpson was agent. At that time the
reservation has a population of about
2nl0 Tudfan0 nf
ferent tribes OF turbulent dissatisfied
Indians and 1t was no small matter to
control them. Simpson was just the
kind OF agent to have charge of these
\ wild untamed tribes. After the lee.
