Steele & Hubbell, of Fort Benton, We learn
Of the murder, few days ago. by the Indi-

were on their way from Benton to Union' 10
meet the steamer "Miner" Finding a
trunk, and other property known to have
belonged to this party of FIVE. and ascertain
ed that none of the party had been heard Of
or seen further down the river, doubt of
their massacre could no longer be entertain>

WALLULA. Nov. 3. hsGe.

EDTrER STATEsNAS.--I believe il is a: couced-
ed fact, that matters will strike different minds
in variety of forms Taking this to be the
fact, presume it will not be out of order for
me to express my views in a short letter, rela.
tive to what have heard during my three weeks
Perambulation in and around "Walla the two
times"
In the first place, I have heard divers and
sundry opinions expressed on politics-he poll
tics of the day-but I have sought in vain for A
solution of the present political problem and
am satisfied that to attempt to follow the polit-
ical teaching of any of the great political lights
OF the present day, as portrayed, to us, in this
TAR of region of Uncle Sans pre-emption,
would be very liable to send a follower to the
Insane Asylum, where, cut off from the sight of
telegraphic dispatches, and declared the curse
OF reading political papers of any kind be might
revive, and become citizen in ''good standing"
My advice to all honest, reasonable, sensible
citizens, would be TO form themfelyes into A
committee of ONE, hear both sides of the uues.
tlon and decide for themselves and if party
leaders and party quacks Of the present day did
not like the decision, make such party leaders
and quacks give bonds to "keep the peace' and
permit the rOr popiLi to exercise the right of suf
irage without the coercion of those in power,
or Of our would be rulers.
rms voting under the lash, or voting for one
man because you are afraid of loosing the pat,
ronage OF another, is not only low and grovel-
ing, but 1t is cowardy. IL is not exercising the
Tight Of suffrage. | claim that every man may
honestly entertain any religious o: political
opinion he may conceive to be right. and to de-
fend them With all the argument and ability his
mind and education may make him capable of.
You can't impeach a mans honesty you may
hnd fault with his language. | claim that ]
have the same right to express my views-in
accordance with the laws of the land-as the
mrn who might at one time have been President
of the United States. Positions are frequently
gained by accident; not always meritoriously
and if we are a sovereign people why not e1er-
else all the perogatiyes belonging thereto 7
heard much in condemnation Of men in
power Iu fact, many advanced the argument
that all our troubles, politically, was cansed by
demagogues in power. Grant it and what does
it prove? Simply, that We, the sovereign Pso-'
Pile, have been direlect IN duty in placing such
men there. When we grant legislator a certi-
ficate Of election, it is the to us as q power
Of attorney. We send him forth to act for us.
If he proves recreant to his trust, the sooner we
Annul his power of attorney the better for us =,
the better for the whole country Keeping con,
stantly in mind, that any direlection of duty on
the part Of our legislators, that we, the people
are PGrteetPs Criminis in the swindle we are
lne prime cause CUNTUX.

THE GREEFBAcK RoBBERY!=Sheriff Seitel re-
turned from Boise City in the early paIt of the
week. having delivered his prisoner to the mill
tary authorities at Fort Boise. At Millers Ranch
he succeeded in recovering Sll $50, which had
been hid there by the man who gave his name
as Mullan, when first arrested at Walla Walla
but whose right name proved to be Arrowin
Lamphier. The money was partially buried in
a sand bank, and when recovered was thorough
ly water-soaked. His companion in crime, con-
fined in the guard house at Fort Boise, had ma DE-
a full confession Of the circumstances attending
the robbery: After stealing the Paymaster's box
1t was kept concealed q short distance from the
Fort for several days. Finally, Hu opportunity
offering, be proceeded to break open the box,
and was surprised in the act by packer who
happened to be camped in the neighborhood.
The latter at oncs claimed u division of the
spoils and took between So, 900 and $50 900 as
his share of the plunder. Arrangements were
at once made to follow the packer, and by this
time be is presumed to be in custody. The
chances are that nearly the whole of the mouey
between $50, 900 and SEQ, ,OO0-wil be recov.
cred The robbery turns oct to have been ex,
clusively a soldiers affair." the planning and
execution Of which was confined to two men.
Privates 10 Company B, 18th Infantry. Eueh
credit is due Sheriff Setel for his activity in
ferreting out the robbery and securing the arrest

CRY WATER WoRKs.-Ground has been bros
ken and large gang of workmeu are engaged
in getting out the timbers preparatory to erect
ing a reservoir for the use Of the city water
works. The reservoir will be placed at the head
Of Main street, and will have an elevation of 50
feet above the highest point in the city. The
reservoir will be filled by means of two force
pumps, the rower for which will be derived
from the water wheel attached to Dovell & Mas
sans mill. Two rams will also be used for the
purpose Of feeding the reservoir, and in this way
it is believed tina; an ample supply of water will
be obtained. The intention is to put down
si1Ninch iron pipe, running the length of Main
street, from which smaller pipes will be used to
conduct the water to all parts of the city. The
iron main will be put down this fall and the
other extensions will be made as the demand for
the water may require. A franchise has already
been obtained from the city giving the company
the exclusive right for twenty years to introduce
the water, and under this grant the company
has been organized and WORK commenced. Il is
rare indeed that town is so favorably situated
for the introduction Of an abundant supply of
pure water, and it is a subject for cong-atula
uon that our natural advantages are about TO be
improved. Messrs. II. P. Isaacs, A. Kyrer. and
J. D. Cook are the projectors the ep,ernriss
and having abundant means to carry ont tbeir
undertakings the work commences under thu
most favorable auspices.

EDITOR STATEsMAN II am pleased to see that
you are disposed to ventilate the management Of
the express Office in this city. A little whole
some criticism very often has excellent effect,
and in the case of the !" resident agent" may
serve to arrest an undue development Of what Is
popularly termed the "big head" It has been
my fortune to have opportunities of observing
the manner in which the business of the Office is
conducted, and the conclusion have arrived at
is, that the agent is entirely toe selfimportant.
Persons who go to the Office on business, don't
care to stand In front Of the counter, waiting for
an indefinite period, compelled to listen to the
agents denunciations Of those who differ with
him in opinion. People go to an express Office
to transact business, and care little about the
agents views in regard to public affairs. In re-
gard to the detention of packages, the trouble
is, that the agent cultivstes . morose disposi-
tion, in which he seems to strive to put the pa-
irons of the house to the greatest amount Of in
convenience. It is in this spirit, / am well sat-
is6ed, that express packages are detained often
to the serious damage Of the owners. Another
grievance complained Of, is the surly, snappish
manner in which the most civil questions are
answered: Civility is not out Of place even in
an express Office, and advise the agent to cul-
tivate this virtue. Much of the dissatisfaction,
| am qnite sure, originates in this cause, and
am equally certain that Wells, Fargo h Co.'s
business has greatly suffered owing to the lack
of an accommodating spirit on the part of the
agent. Canvass the merchants of this city, and
the universal expression is, 1--WE transact us
little business as possible through the Express"
Ask the reason, and you will be told that ''they
are unwilling to take the chances of being in
suited by the agent" have here briefly indi-
Gated what believe to be the cause of the dis
satisfaction, and have done SO in the hope that
measures will be taken to secure to the people
of Walla Walla the convenieuces incident to a
well ordered express Office. MERcHANT.

LENHI MNEs.-Since our issue of last week,
. number of persons have come iG from the
newly discovered Lemhi mines, all bringing fa-
Torable reports. Among those who have returns
ed is Mr.. J. C. Isaacs, in whose statements the
public will place great reliance. Up to the time
Mr.. /. left the discovery was confined to a single
creek, although just as he was about to leave
report reached him that gold had been found on
another stream, also a tributary Of the Salmon
Mr.. l. estimates that the digging5 already disS
covered will afford profitable employment for
two thousand men. There is a large extent OF
country, evidently gold bearing, which is yet
to be prospected, and should anticipatious be
realized the mining district will equal in extent
the Boise Basin, to which it bears marked re-
semblance. These new mines arc distant from
East Bannack about forty miles, from which
they are separated by rugged chain of noun
tains. Lemhi Valley at an early day was occu-
pied by the Mormons, who had once a flourish,
ing settlement there, but were compelled to
abandon Il on account Of Indian nostilities
Whether the MormOns were aware of the exist
ence of gold in the Valley is unknown. Had
they made the discovery it would have been
kept secret, it being their policy to discourage
every thing like gold mining. 1t is thought that
several hundred persons will winter in the new
mines, provisions for whom can be introduced
from East Bannock at reasonable rates. Mr.. l..
exhibited to us lot of Lemhi dust much of it
was coarse it is estimated to be worth Sl7 per
ounce, Further news from the Lemhi mines
will be looked for with interest.

THB BOISE ROAD PLUEDERERs.- gentleman
largely engaged in teaming over the Boise Road,
fully endorses our comments in relation to the
Pyle swindle, and says that these swindes are
forcing the trade and travel to seek other chan
nels. Our informant states in relation to this
affair of Pyle's, that there was formerly road
that avoided the ravine, over which the travel
passed. This patural road Pyle had fenced up,
and 10 order to make a sure thing trench was
dug, thus etfectually cutting off the old road
Ind compelling packers and teamsters to pay
tribute at Pyle toll gate. The party from whom
we derive the above states that a man named
Place, has toll gate on the road, just beyond
Ruckers Quartz MILL which is even a worse i'm
position than the Pyle's nuisance. In this last
instance less than $500 will cover the whole ex-
penditure, in return for which packers and team
have been heeced out of thousands Of dollars
The TOLLS as we understand it, are regulated by
the different County Commissioners, who have
it in their power to place the rates SO low as to
break up these nuisances. On the principle Of
"the greatest good to the greatest number
measures should at once be taken to rid the road
Of the legalized hghwaymen who infest every
pass leading to the mines. 1t is unfortunate for
the business interests of the country that all the
portages and avenues of communication are in
the hands of grasping spectators who aim 10
grow rich by unduly taxing trade and travel.
At time when the whole tendency of the age
is toward free trade, these distractions in the
way Of commerce are not to be tolerated in
cases where money has been expended in open
ing and improving highways ample compensa-
ton should be made but under no circumstan-
ees should the present swindling system be per-
mitted to continue. 1t is to the interest of our
farmers, our merchants, and indeed every class
of citizens, that we should have free trade to the
mines, and to this end we must get rid of the
tollSgates that now line the road like mile-stones
