LIGHT ON THE LAVA BEDS

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERAbD:-
II there Is desire on the part OF those having
the Modoc job on hand to end 1t up az speedily as
possible think can suggest plan to bring about
this consummation, SO devoutly to be wished. Let
the army be supplied with q SUFFICIENT number Of
calcium lights" to throw circle OF light 500 yards
broad around the M0docs' stronghold. BY this
means the soldiers can rest all night In the dark,
while the Modocs will not dare to venture into the
circle of light for fear OF being picked or by the
sentinels, who will have every advantage on their
side: Without this light it will be no trouble for
the indians, who are acquainted with every foot
OF the ground, to steal past the guards during
tne darkness OF the night ana be far away
pelore their absence can be discovered; but
Win the calcium light there will be no darkness
LOT the stealthy Indians to operate In. In TACT, AZ
lar ~ the Modocs are concerned. there will be no
nlgnt AZ all for them. This plan would save q
Rrea! many valuable lives to the army, the men
could repose IN comparative safety ut nightr
choosing daylight for an advance. 1t would re-
qure but lew days to so diminish the area OF thas
circle or light that In q short time the Indians
would be completely within It's radius, and could
tnen De starved into surrender or killed on 1t
leisure The calciums should he protected by q
strong wire shield. Having had considerable ex-
perienco among the Indians think the ModOch
must be poor strategtsts II they do not succeed in
escaping from the lava beds IN spite OF all the SOL
plan, as have here proposed, shall be adopted.
