About three years ago Mr.. Lind. who
resides near the Mound House, on the
v. X 7. II. r., fenced in ten acres Of
tho sagebrush land. which was consid-
cred 10 be worthless for agricultural
purposes. but which his energy has
proved 10 be- valuable for raising vsgeta-
bles, plants and trees. The water for
irrigation IL brought In wooden pipes
from the mountain. about two miles dis
tant. About ave acres have been Guilt
vated. A portion OF IL was sown with
alfalfa, three crops Of which arc raised
each year. lie has had two crops Of po-
tatoes and Of peas this year. He raises
all kinds Of vegetables. including water
melons and muskmelons. One beet
measures over two feet In circumfer.
ence. aud q squash, which In now over
three feet long. Is still growing. A
squash weighing ffty.four pounds was
sent to market last week. He set out
nearly four hundred fruit trcsa-almond,
apricot. peach. cherry, pear. ~nectarins
aud apple. all OF which have grown hne-
ly this Summer. He has also several
hundred blackberry. raspberry and
strawberry plants and currant bushes;
also several grape vines. which bore q
few lunches Of nico grapes. This year
the garden vegetables are worth about
5000. II any California or Eastern
farmer beat this. We shall b glad TO
hear from him.--Carsos Tribune, oct. lG.

A Family Murdered.
Red Cloud a. an Inaatlonls..

When Red Cloud returned from WASH
ington, after having seen tho remarkable
facilities for making rag money, he
made up his mind that he would not
take tho begRarly sum Of 90. 200. 900 for
the Black Hills. he put tho price up 70
SO. 00O, 600 and held 10 these figures
stifiy. Besides, no wanted reasonable
support for his Indians for six lives,
and counted q lifo at 100 years, o re-
markabls stretch OF longevity. seeing
that white people car only count upon
about "a years. The fact Is. Red Cloud
Is q full blown inlationist. When he
went into council with his subordinate
chiefs he was about Is consistent and
intelligent an infiationist rs there was
In the land.
Ho had at least some substantial basis
for his operations. The Black Hills
wsre real estate. There might DO mil
lions Of gold, and many millionsin value
Of other minerals. Tho whites were
pressing into tho country. Red Cloud
was ready TO sell, but no wanted his
price. When the Commissioners met
tho Indians In council. they found
themselves In tho most formidable inGa-
ton convention ever held in this country.
They had brought all their warriors. and
hal posted them In such q way that
they could swoop down on these Com
missioners and tho small detachment Of
soldiers, and whisk of their scalps In o
trice. In fact, He'd Cloud had pretty
nearly shut the Commissioners up 10 the
alternative Of imitation or scalps. Posi-.
bly, Red Cloud might DO enough Of
. political economist TO understand tho
DRIFT Of the imitation doctrine Of the
Ohio Democrats. In that a = the
seventy millions which Red Cloud
wanted might have only been the
equivalent a few years hence Of six mil.
