SINCE representatives OF leading railroads
have actually resolved to reduce the freight.
rates to the Pacific coast. on certain classes Of
Roods. We would like for some Of the defenders
Of the robber rates charged by tn. roads to say
whether the reduction Of rates does not amount
to confession Of overcharging on the class OF
goods affected BY the reduction Of rates. L.
the roads which have made the reduction only
made fair profit on the goods transported at
the old rates. how are they to make fair profit
now that their rates have been reducedl Or.
are they going to freight goods hereafter at a
loss to thcmselvesl Men and corporations are
prone to overcharging; but we have yet to
know Of one. especially q corporation. becom.

is mistake. In a word, we were compel led
to return, not from force OF Indians, but
from force of circumstances.
A few names are worthy of honorable
mention for GOODNESS and personal couiage.
+. B. Grounds, Captain; Eli b. Way, Adju-
tant, and many others TOO numerous to NELL
ton.
In conclusion, l RELY on majority of the
command to sustain me in the foregoing
statements.
''''pef i. '5y'iDoNovAN,
signal Officersof the Expedition.
The foregoing is given as written,
but the Committee assumes no respon-
sibility for any statements not made
by ITSELF That a division of idea ex-
listed in the Command regarding the
most advisable route, or course, after
the Indian attacks, should not be a
matter of surprise; but as recrimina-
ton can effect no good, and as erery
member of the Command now admits
the great mistake in not sending in
the courier, as agreed, it is best to for
get all differences and try again.
The opposite side having had it's
hearing through the columns Of the
Helena Herald, (although Mr.. Hoppy's
letter would gladly have been publish
ed entire with this report,) it would
seem best to address ourselves to the
duty of gaining all we can from what
the Expedition did effect.
The Committee gladly acknowledge
the bravery of the men, the efficiency
of the officers and the complete discip-
line of the command, which kept it to-
gether even when it's movements were
contrary to the wishes and judgment
Of some Of its members.
In the concluding part Of this re-
port shall present Mr.. Understands
md that Of the returned couriers,
Messrs. Reid and Bowles, and sum up
he results of the movement your
Committee was instructed to manage.
For the Committee,

Secretary and Treasurer.

CRAssBoPPERs.-The destruction of crops
by &rasshoppers has already commenced
The army that came into this valley last
summer, too late, however, to do much DAM
age then, deposited their eggs and now the
earth is alive with young ones, which have
attained sufficient growth to lay waste the
young and promising crops Of our farmers.
We are informed BY Mr.. Brigham Reed and
other extensive farmers of the valley, that
their young crops have been entirely destroy.
cd by them. In single day they turn the
verdant fields into desolate wastes. The
ground throughout the valley, we UNDER
stand. is Utterly covered with them. The
same is also the case in the Yellowstone val
ley. Many of our farmers despair of raising
anything.

Helena.
From the Herald:


Helena merchandise shipments this year
from Eastern and Western markets. it is es-
timated, will exceed by more than onc-third
the shipments Of 1923.
The cash deposits in the Helena banks
were probably never greater than at present.
In the burglar proof safes Of single one Of
them is $50, 000-currcncy deposits.
Buster building scenes than are witnessed
on the streets of Helena are not seen in any
city OF the West. Hundreds of mssons, car
pentcrs, and other laborers are employed in
erecting substantial houses, OF brick and
stone. and at the end OF summer will see few
traces of the great fire of January last left.
GRAssHoPPERs.-This destructive insect,
which did so much damage last year, has
made its appearance again in the Prlckly
Pear. We learn from a farmer of the valley
that several grain fields have been vigorous
ly attacked, and among them is fine field of
wheat on Mr.. Bywater's ranch, which has
been almost entirely destroyed. The grass
hopper is terrible plague in this region,
and the prospects for our farmers are any
thing but encouraging.
