Old newspapers concerning Indian conflicts

http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn96061149/1879-05-09/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1865&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=Indian+Indians&searchType=basic&sequence=1&index=1&state=Oregon&date2=1880&proxtext=Indian&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2

In the newspaper I read from Oregon called the Daily Astorian from 1879 talked about how a group of Indians from Walla Walla will be placed on a new reservation when Chief Moses arrives. They don't think there will be peace because feeding the Indians hasn't been arranged yet. No one has confidence in Wilbur, the agent of the reserve. There will be no peaceful solution of the Indian Northwestern question. There were Indian murderers that escaped from jail have finally been recaptured. There was a group of nice Indians that helped get the stuff back that was stolen and in the process 2 of the Indians were killed. The new reservation is unpopular.

The newspaper is about 3/4 advertisements. The newspaper also talked about California adopting the new constitution which the mining companies are against and the agricultural ones are for it.
