the Governor will 20 70 Fort Hall for the pur-
pose OF looking after Indian affairs in that sec

ing much pleased with his trip to Northern
Idaho, and Gays he has been ensbled to gather
much valuable information relative to Indian
affairs aud other matters which, when laid BE-
fore the "Powers that be-" will b. Of much
benefit to our Territory. He says that Idaho

their Reservation, and not be allowed to roam
around the country to the great annoyance Of
