In the last few days the Thompson River and the Nicola Indians have been assembling in large numbers, and have formed a picturesque camp on the reserve to the east of the town. About 1000 men and women are living in tents, and what with the large Council House, which they have erected (200 feet by 40), the corrals and horses picketed all over the flat, the whole has quite a moral effect. The Indians are remarkably well behaved, and not a single one of them has been seen in town after dark. These Indians have assembled for the purpose of making arrangements for the better management of their people and reserves. They elected Michell, the well-known interpreter, Chief of all the tribes that have met. Mr. Sproat, the Indian Commissioner, arrived on invitation from the Indians, last Monday. In the evening he walked to the camp, where he was received by the Chiefs and a salute from five guns. Then Mr. S. tranquilly went through the ordeal of shaking hands with over 800 Indians. It was a rather pretty sight to see so large a number of men and women well dressed, and drawn up in doubleline, and the decorum displayed was well worth noting. Mr. Sproat's surveyor had also to shake hands with the multitude, an act he performed with tolerable grace. Several townspeople besides myself watched the proceedings, and were much pleased with the orderly manner [in which] things were conducted. The Indians then adjourned to the Council House, where the Commissioner thanked the Chiefs for the manner he had been received as agent of the Dominion Government, and the meeting adjourned till Thursday. On walking back to town I thought that it was to be regretted that some of our Provincial Members could not spare the time to be present at the meeting, although they might not understand the language, they could take a lesson in civility, decorum, and general good behaviour on public occasions.
