SlOnrf.
ELKo, Nov. 10.
Indian Commissioner Ingalls,, of
Salt Lake, has been holding a grand
council here for the last two days.
The object of the council is to lay be-
fore the Indians proposition to be
moved to reservation, within the
next year, and also to distribute their
annuities.
Early this morning the Eastern Me-
vada Shoshones, together with q large
representation of Piutes, assembled
to receive their annuities. Over four
hundred bucks were present.
Soon after the work of distribution
had commenced, it was ascertained
that the Piutes and Goshoots had al
lied and were about to engage in gen.
eral fight against the ShoshOnes. The
troubles are ignited partially on ac-
count of the distribution, and partly
on account of former troubles. The
Indian interpreter however ascertain
ed the condition of affairs, and sep
aration of the tribes made. A
redistribution had to be resOrted to in
order to restore good feeling. To-
night the chiefs of all the tribes met
in the Sheriff's Office to discuss the
reservation question. The chief of the
Piutes Naches, refused to participate
in the council and withdrew. The
Shoshones, however, agreed to send
two delegates to look at the reserva-
tion at Fort Hill, Montana, and fsuit-
able they will emigrate in the spring.

The DAILY HERALD has
nearly DO y BE the circu-
lation Of either contempo-
rary paper published in Los
Angeles. As an, advertising
medium It is consequently Of
DOUBLE their value.
Let US Preserve our History.


The history of Los Angeles, from its
early settlement by the Jesuits to the
present day, would fill large quarto
volume, and ifproperly written by some
person competent to undertake the
task, would be extremely interesting
reading. It's romance and stirring
epocs, the legends and traditions of its
early history, its capture from the
Mexicans by the American troops, and
its frequent scenes of carnage and vio-
lence since, might all be interviewer
with most powerful dramatic effect
without impairing its historic faith
fulness, or doing injustice to the men,
ory Of the characters of whom it
must necessarily speak. In this con-
nection there are two facts which cam
not be denied: first, there is an urgent
and frequent inquiry on the part of
new citizens and visitors for re-
liable information pertaining to
our early history, and second, that
such history has never been written.
The links which at present are in
tact and which connect us with the
most interesting periods of our his
tory will soon be broken. In few
years, Don Pho Pico, Don Juan War
ner, Don Juan Forster, +. P. F. Tenn
pie and the few other "oldest inhabit-
ants" will have followed Don Abel
Stearns and other intelligent early
settlers to their long homes, and the
golden opportunity which now re-
mains to us Of collecting reliable data
for a history of Los Angeles, will have
been forever lost.
Immediate and active measures
ought to be taken, either through the
medium of Geographical Society, or
by the assumption of the duty by the
Chamber of Commerce, for the COLA
ton of all available data pertaining to
our history, with view to its publica-
ton in book form just as soon as suffi-
cient reliable information is obtained
to.warrant it.
There are doubtless many citizens
throughout the county who might, if
they felt inclined, contribute each an
interesting chapter or page to such a
work, and to all such we will say that
the columns of the HERALD are at all
times open, and one or more copies of
the paper containing their productions
shall be placed at the disposal of any
organization which will assume the
management of the matter, or placed
on file in the Historical Department OF
our Public Library. But matter OF
such vast Importance ought not to be
left entirely to the inclination and
caprice Of those who hold the keys to
the history of the past. Most of these
gentlemen are far ADVANCED in years,
and would much prefer telling their
story under the shade of their hospita-
BILE corridors to writing it themselve s
1t is truthful if homely adage that
"What is everybody's business is no.
body's."
Some competent person, who knows
something of our history himself
should be employed and paid for the
labor of collecting the facts for the
work we have suggested. He should
commence the undertaking now, this
very month, and devote his whole
time to the duty until it is accom-
plished. Who is the right man for
the place? We nominate Don Juan
Warner.

Destructive Fire ut Salem.

SALEM, Nov. 10.
The Chemeketa Hotel, in shis city,
caught fire from a defective flue last
night. Although the building was
filled with smoke from about 8 o'clock
the fire was not discovered until about
1880. The damage is comparatively
small, it being more from water than
by fire. Insurance, $21 900. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
and Wells, Fargo & Co. had their Off
ees in the building and were damaged
to II slight extent by water 1t is inn
possible to estimate the loss at this
hour.

Il Earth Mans Only Abiding
Place?

Those who admire the writings of Mr..
George ID. Prentice will be pleased to
read the following extract again:
1T can not be that earth Is mans only
abiding-place. 1t can not be that our
life is bubble cast up by the ocean of
eternity to float a moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else why is
it that the high and glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple
Of our hearts are forever unsatisfied? ?
Why is it that the rainbow and clouds
come over US with beauty that is not
Of earth, and then pass off to leave us to
muse ON their loyelinesss Why is il
that the stars, which hold their festival
around the midnight thrones are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with their unap-
proachable glory? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view and taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of our
affection to flow back like Alpine torrents
upon the hearth We are born to higher
destiny than of earth. There is realm
where the rainbow never fades, where
the stars will spread out before US like
the islands that slumber on the ocean. |
and where the beautiful beings which
pass before US like shadows will stay in |
our presence forever"

Speed Of English Railway Trains.

Some interesting details concerning
the speed of railway trains in England
have recently been published. The av.
erage rate Of speed at which the quickest
express trains travel is forty-seven and
three-fourths miles an hour. But there
are two lines on which this pace is ex-
celled. The ten o'clock train on the
Great Northern road reaches Peterbor-
ough at halfpast eleven the distance is
seventy-six and a half miles, and the
pace fiity-one miles an hour. The quar-
ter-to-twelve train on the Great Western
makes the run to Swindon, seventy
seven and quarter miles, without stop
ping, and does it in one hour and twenty
seven minutes, or at the rate Of fiffy-three
and quarter miles an hour. There are
a number of other roads which make
runs at the rate of from forty-ive to
fifty-two miles an hour: but the journey
from London to Bath by the quarter-to-
twelve train is the quickest in the world.
The distance is one hundred and seven
miles, and il is done in two hours and
minutes, including a stop
page of ten minutes at Swindon. The
actual time in travelling is two hours and
three minutes, or something over fifty
two miles an hour.
