The Roul1nd Table
Conducted, Trimmed, Censored and Deleted
By Thin Space

In the absence of reference data
I am unable at this time to give the
present combined population and
would make interesting reading and
stimulate thought in contrasting the
present conditions prevailing in these
counties when compared with the sit
uation in 1855.
These lands occupied two degrees
of latitude and four degrees of long
itude, extending from Moscow on the
north to the mouth of the Powder riv-
er on the south and from the summit
of the Bitterroot divide on the east
to about twelve miles from Walla
Walla ON the west.
All these lands were In the treaty
of 1855, coded, relinquished and con-
veyed together with all their right,
title to and interest in and to the
country occupied or claimed by them
to the United States by "Old Joseph"
and his clan. This conveyance COM
prises the first treaty.
In article 2, the United States pre-
scribed approximately two-thirds of
the western area of the coded lands
for the exclusive use and benefit of
said tribes of Indians in Washington

bers of the Spokane, Walla Walla,

tween the two tribes, and so lar as
nv own Investigations have extended,
there is no real blood-relationship be-
tween them than that which would
naturally occur by inter-marriage be-
tween the neighboring tribes.
Christian and NOn-Christian Tribes
According to tradition, the Nez Per
90 nation and the Pend O'Reilles are
the mother tribes of the northwest
interior. their Offsh0Ots having lost
almost every trait of identity, and
even the language of the parent stock.
IL is therefore possible that the 10
seph tribe are an offshoot of the
mother race, although the separation
must have occurred generations be-
fore the advent of Lewis and Clark,
for these and other travellers concur
In classifying them as distinct clan.

tically contiguous Observation-Disclosures

He was the acknowledged chief OF

HISTORY OF THE

Text Of Article Read Before
The Pioneers Association,
Lewiston, September 9th.

Hon A. +. Parker, of Grangeville,

ton, at Lewiston, Sept. 81, the most
interesting and graphic story of the
the Nez Perces and the Indian mas
sacres of the Salmon river country
that has yet appeared i'm print
With his usual painstaking and acc
urate methods, Mr.. Parker has gone
straight to the original sources for
his facts. His sketch is worth every
ones reading. 1t follows:
The first treaty between the United
States and the Nez Perez Indians was
made and concluded at the Camp Ste
vens treaty ground in the Walla Wal
la valley, June IL, 1855, and ratified
by the senate April 20, 1859.
This treaty has the distinction of
combining two treaties in one. Ar
ticle one describes the boundaries Gov
cred by the present counties of La
tab, Nez Perez, Clearwater, Lewis
and Idaho and part of old Shoshone
in the state of Idaho; Whitman, Aso-
tin, Columbia, Garfield and part of
Walla Walla in the state of Washing

on and Baker counties in the state of
Oregon.

Articles VI, VII, TX, X, and XXI

the lands into lots and parcel them
to the Indians availing themselves
of the privilege of residing perman-

Article VIII is worthy of deep con-
sideration for therein "the aforesaid
tribe acknowledges their dependence
upon the government of the United
States and promises to be friendly
with all citizens thereof, and pledge
themselves to commit no depredas
lions on the property of such citizens
etc" This clause was violated in
the Chief Joseph campaign of 1877,
as will be noted later.
Chief Joseph Not Nez Perez
Ever since the white settlement of
the northwest interior, historians
have divided the Nez Perez tribe into
treaty and non-treaty" In-ians, on
bogus information that "Old Joseph"
father of chief Joseph, did not sign
the treaty of 1855, and was therefore
not to be condemned for taking the
in 1877. In order to clear
up this disputed history, 1 secured
