THE MuBLAs ROAD. Mr.. Cavanaugb, June
18th, introduced in the House bill looking to
the construction of q wagon road from Lake
Traverse, on the liue between Dakotah and Miu-
nesota, to Walla Walla, in Washington Territory;
also, road from Ambercrombie to intersect it
near Fort Ransom. R. Blskely, of st Paul Jo-
seph r. Brown, of Lake Traverse, Nina; ]. P.
Kidder, of Dakotah Thomas Riley and Thomas
Watson, of Montana, aud Phillip Ritz, of Walla
Walla, are appointed Commissioners to locate
and construct it. The road is to be cleared six

sary, With good bridges on all streams less than
300 feet wide, and good ferry boats on all streams
over 800 feet wide. The grades to be as good as
practicable, and the road to be completed in
three years. 1t is to be public highway, free
from all tolls or other charges, and the grants
are forfeit on all portions not completed within
the time specified In consideration of the ex-
penditures to be incurred by the Commissioners,
the government grants them of public lands, not
mineral, four sections to the mile along the line
of said roads, and in case of any previous sales
or reservations on the line, the Commissioners
may select other public lands contiguous. This
specification was necessary as the original grant
of land to the Northern Pacific Railroad, extends
for forty miles on either side of its line and the
route of the proposed wagon road as indicated.
is on the designated line Of that railroad.-Mon,
tdnd Post.
Referring to the above, Mr.. Ritz writes us as
follows:
+" came over the Mullan Road and made a
careful estimate of every mile, and grade and
bridge. 1t is my judgement that it would be
better for the government to appropriate money
to open the road than land, as the government
can retain and dispose of the lands to much bet.
ter advantage than any private corporation, as
any private company would be obliged to estab.
lish q land Office to secure and make sale of and
transfer portion of their lands in order to raise
money to complete the work. All of which th G
government can do on much better terms than
any private corporation. Besides, the govern.
ment can afford to furnish money at six per cent,
while individuals cannot afford to use their
money here for less than fifteen or twenty per
cent. per annum. However, if the bill is modi,
fed some will accept of the land. l look upon
the matter as of the utmost importance to our
country. As soon as it is opened there will be
daily overland mail coach line established on
it from Fort Abercrombie to this place, which
will be the forerunner of the commencement oi
the great national work of one day-the North
| Pacific Railroad"

KooTENAI MINEs.-The Victoria Colo
mist has favorable advices from the Kootenai
mines, and reports that more treasure will be
taken out this season than for several years.
1t also expresses regret that the trade from
this rich mining district goes to enrich Walla
Walla instead Of Victoria. Bad roads are
assigned as a reason for the loss of the Koote.

be at once taken to improve the means Of

Ep1roR SrArEsxAx- Valley is situated
about twenty-seven miles north Of Snake river,
and extends east and west for about sixty miles,
commencing at point known as Potalach, and
runniur to Palouse. For natural beauties, 1
have never seen it surpassed by any country,
although it has been my fortune to be in nearly
every valley upon this side of the Cascade noun
tains in fact, to my notion, it approaches nearer
a paradise than any uninhabitsd country that
have seen as yet. At least, must own that
have never been half so mach grati6ed and
pleased by natural and unadorned scenery as 1
was while standing on small elevation OF
ground at the western end of this Valley and
looking toward the east. Before me, as far as
my eye could distinguish objects, was one large
Verdant meadow, here and there intersperced
with such a cool, inviting, shady grove of most
beautiful trees, as one is seldom permitted to
see this side of the Cascade range. There were
the beautiful, broad leaf of the balm, mingled
with those of the quakeaasp and pine. There
were many fragrant flowers blooming, showing
at glance the undoubted richness of the soil.
There were beautiful streams and rivulets mean
dering along through this lovely meadow that
would furnish an endless supply of water to the
lowing herds that ere long are to drink from
them. But do not understand me to say that at
the present time there is no one there, for al
ready the woodmen's axe rings cheerily, and
the smoke begins to float gracefully upward
from their cabin chimneys, and the song of the
pioneer is raised where but q short time since
was but the gloomy depths of silence, unbrokeD
save by the dismal howl of cayote or other wild
beast. 'Tis true, that these persons are few, nu-
merically speaking, but fguratively they are a
host. Although the undertaking is not so great
as that of Boon, nor the field SO valuable as that
of Kentucky, yet it is of sufficient Importance to
make US feel thankful that we have such men
amongst us-for are they not denied the benefits
ofsOciety and pleasures incident thereto to nearly
as great an extent as other pioneers2 Is not the
idea the same7 are not they prompted by that
same love Of country Most assuredly they are.
Among those who have already taken claims
there might mention Mr.. Benz. Sisson, Mr.. Jas.
Taylor, Mr.. Levi Reynolds, and Mr.. Walter Wood
also, Mr.. Mustard, all of whom are men that any
country should be proud to own. In conclusion,
1 will say, that we have many beautiful vallies
| and farms that await tenants. Let as but make
this known and we can soon have them filled
| and if people the source of country's wealth
we most undoubtedly have room for them, while
on the other hand, know that there are many
that wish home, and here is The place for all
such. Are they poor, here is wealth hidden
which the pillow will turn out Come everybody
room for all. T. F. s.

PoIsoNED.-Over forty persons were poi

San Francisco, in the year ending May 1st, 1868,

Irish are fass leaving Ireland, until now the
population has run down to less than six

THE ARMY.-Secretary Scofeld estimates
the army as numbering $4,000 men. Laws
recently passed provide for its reduction to a
trife over 1900. This is right. Large
standing armies are always dangerous to
liberty, and ina country where the "Gov>
ernment derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed" they are useless

GRANT, in his report to Congress on the
condition of the Southern States, expressed
the opinion that if "negro suffrage was
forced on the Southern States, the result
would be war of races" The author of

at the point of the bayonet.

INSURANCE Summation time to
time we notice in Eastern papers accounts Of
the failure of insurance companies, and that
as general thing they leave little or no
assets. In recent instance, New York
life insurance company, that had done busi
ness amounting to millions, went by the
board, and when the creditors came to look
up the effects they found an old desk and q
lot of secondhand furniture, the whole kit
worth less than 800. Facts like these should
attract the attention of those who wish L
take out policies, and cause them carefully
to enquire into the solvency Of the company
they are about to patronize.

OK THE SrUMP.-GeOrge H. Pendleton,
the great Ohio statesman, has taken the
stump for Seymour aud Blair. Although
his claims have been set aside, the Buckeye

A FAILURE. = Parties who have lately
came through from Montana, inform us that
the Lake route is a perfect failure All the
travel goes by way of the Mullan road, and
the boat makes the trip three times a week,
for the purpose of carrying the mail, very
often coming and going without single pas
seuger or pound of freight. Had the money
that has been thrown away in attempting to
open the Lake route been expended in placing
the Mullan road in repair, our trade with
Montana would have been double what !.
now is, and the whole coast would have been
benefited thereby. We trust that we have
witnessed the last attempt at diverting trade
and travel from its legitimate channel
