SILETZ
The Indians held a meeting at tha
Recreation Hall Saturday for the pur-
pose of organizing to secure money
that belong to them when '.hey ceded
their land, hunting grounds, gold fields
and fishing interesta to the govern
ment that belonged to them at the
cloaa pf the Rogue River War in
1855-6. The amount is $12,004000.
El wood Towner was chosen chairman
and Arthur Bensell secretary of the
meeting. The meeting was well rep
resented by the Indian people of
Siletz. Some eloquent and pathetic
speeches were made by the orators
of the day. They Bpoke of how they
had given up their lands, the happy
hunting grounds of theirfathers and
the rich gold (leMs that the white man
had made millions of dollars ou of
ti, all for a small piece of land upon
the Siletz reservation. No my frienda
we ought to hae more money for the
beautiful home we ceded to the gov
ernment. We wcra happy In our coun
try, the restins place of our fathers,
among tho creat mountains, beauti
ful vallies, and roaring rivers the
Great Spirit had made for us. Here
we could paddle our canoes along
the rocky shores of the sparkling riv
ers, filled with fish and the mountains
with game where our young men
could woo the dusky maidens out on
the flowery hills and the green vallies,
where our '.'medicine man" could u
sond the high mountain and talk to
the Great Spirit and ask that hi? peo
ple might be free from sickneast sor
row and trouble. But now see what
a change. When we came to Siletz
we numbered about 3,000 souls but
now we are only a remnant of a few
tribes that are left. We believe tne
Great Father at Washington will lo
the right thins by 113, if wo enn estab
lish a just claim it will be paick Tho
Great Father will not cheat his child
ren. wto
A committee of three was appointed
to g:;t tho number of tribes and the
information and data so the claim
' can bo presented to the government
for settlement. The committee con
sisted of Eiwood Towner chairman,
Arthur Bensell and Norman Strong.
Af'.or some preliminary- work the
meeting adjourned to meet again at
the call of the president. This matter
at Siletz is being handled by the In
titans under the advice of their At
torneys. M. Andersen has bought the Mll
tid Collins) pte.ee. Thlsi fine farm
contains CO acres, located on the best
part of the Siletz valley all under
fence and every acre. can be cultivated
this land has not been cultivated like
some of the other land, consequently
It is free from weeds and much richer
and will produce more than land that
lias been overworked by a continuous
crop without change. Mr. Anderson
has already sold half the place to
Chris Larson and these men will
oe partners and work the place to
gether. The price paid wa $6,000.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
Crawford was made happy Wednes
day evening by the arrival of Mrs.
Crawfords father and mother, Rev.
and Mrs. Isaac Clark who live In
Raseberry, Idaho. They are on &
visit and will remain here for some
time. Mr. Clark is a prominent min
ister In the Chris'.ain Church. From
liere they will go to California to see
friends. Mr. Clark brought with him
two blood hounds, they are certainly
"wide awake and full of life. They are
a terror tr bear, bob cats and other
predilary animals. He will take them
cut and have a chase some of these
clays. It will be fun.
.Major Shepard leaves this morning,
Thursday for Marshfield where he will
tlo some heirship and Inheritance
work for the Coos Bay Indians. He
will be done about ten days before
returning to Siletz.
