PIT RIVER INDIANS PLAN FIGHT FOR TREATY TERRITORY

Alturas, February 8, - the Pit River tribe of Indians here are holding
meetings in an endeavor to raise money to send Henry Chipp, son of former
Chief Bill Chipp, to Washington to make claim to a tract of land about 20
miles square in the Pit River Valley.

The Indians claim that General George Crook in 1867, following several weeks’
campaign against them, made this grant of land to the tribe with the full
consent of the Washington authorities.

In his campaign in the fall of 1867, General Crook administered a severe
beating to the local tribe of Indians, has own command suffering heavily.

JOHN R. BONNER MEMORIAL PARK

Alturas has again demonstrated her ability to meet special situations by
doing the right thing in the right way. We refer to the action last week of
the City Council in naming the city part the John R. Bonner Memorial Park in
honor of the fine young volunteer fireman whose life was sacrificed in the
performance of his duty.

The Fire Department, having voted to request such action by the Council,
presented the request by appearing in a body before the City Council last
Tuesday night, making a most impressive testimonial to the high esteem in
which they held their deceased comrade. The Council took immediate action on
the request, unanimously declaring the park to be named "John R. Bonner
Memorial Park", and in order to make the action express, as far as their
power permitted, the city’s deep appreciation of the forfeiture of a noble
young life in its service, provided for an enlargement of the present park
to a size that would better represent the city’s homage to John R. Bonner’s
memory.

The John R. Bonner Memorial Park is to be improved and beautified. It will
stand now and in the years to come as a silent and tender perpetual offer of
the city’s sympathy to the broken-hearted parents, Judge E. C. Bonner and
Mrs. Bonner. From the windows of their home, the John R. Bonner Park gives
them daily assurance that Alturas will never forget their son, the last of
the line bearing the honored pioneer name of Bonner.

The Fire Department asked permission to place a suitably engraved memorial
plaque in the park to record the Fire Department’s regard and affection.

Sam Woods, formerly of Cedarville, but of recent years a resident of Reno
was here yesterday shaking hands with his old time friends. Sam is
proprietor of a meat market in Reno.

Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Starkey returned Monday from Susanville. It is reported
that Mr. Starkey will open a grocery store at that place in the near future.
