The Indian. hM . m... .
the Government School building Mon-
day for the purpose of taking further
steps towards getting pay for lands
ceded to the United States by treaty
during the Rogue River WUr of 18E5
and 1856. The meeting was called to
ordor by Russell Adams who acted as
Chairman of the meeting and Arthur
Bensell as secretary. The house was
well filled by the Indian people of the
reservation who are interested. The
chairman introduced Ceorge Wit3son
of Marshfield who gave a full explan
ation of the purpose of the meeting
and the state of the question as now
understood. Mr. Wasson has much ex
perience and understands this treaty
quebtion very well. He went to Wash
ington and lcolted up the records and
found a treaty had been made between
these tribes of Indians and Joel Pal
jner, superintendent of Indian Affairs
of the Oregon Territory, August 11th,
1855. To this treaty 38 Indians, with
their mark before witnesses, signed
it but Congress has never ratified the
treaty and therefore have never per
formed their part
of the contract
The Indians ceded to the Government
over 6,000,000 acres of the finest land
ln the west rich In timber, agricul
tore, fisheries and gold if this land
only brought the Bmall sum of $2.50
per acre it would make the Indians
rich. The strip of kind reaches from
the south bank of the Columbia river
to the California line on the south fol-
lowing the summit of the coast range
of mountains on the east. This is
what the Indians want pay for and Mr.
Wasson thinks that they will get it.
The amount of money will be fixed
by the committee of Court Claims.
Five delegates were elected to work
with Mr. Wasscn in getting informa
tion to be used a Washington to aid
In getting the claim through. This is
Important. The committee Is as fol
lows: Arthur Bensell, Russell Adams,
Norman Strong, Hoxie Simmons and
Archie John. By a unanimous vote Mr.
Wassan waB authorized to go ahead
end work the matter out the best way
possible. He will have power to em-
ploy attorneys at a certain per cent
of the money obtained. The Indian
are working aa one person in this mat
ter and no doubt something will br
done to reimburse them for their
cedod lands. The meeting adjourned
sine die. In a meeting of this kind
-where the Indians feel that an injus
tice has been done him, you wi'l hear
speeches of true eloquence. The In
d'.nns don't ask charity or favors, but
only what is .'lu - them.
