Indian Fight.

Capt. Mills, of Gen. Crooks COM
mand, surprised large village of
Sioux on the 7th inst, on his line of
march toward the Black Hills. lie
captured lao ponies and destroyed Al
large lodges and other property. The
troops were short of provisions, but
they fortunately captured large
amount of dried meat, berries, ETC., all
that Crooks whole pack train could
carry, and sufficient to postpone the
proposed purchase of supplies. In and
captured with the village were wagon
loads of robes and savage spoils of all
kinds. Articles of wearing apparel,
ETC., which lad belonged to Clusters
command, were also captured. Lieut..
Won Lutwitz and several soldiers were
wounded. Every day develops the
fact that Gen. Crooks plan of the cam
paign is the best that could be adopted.
His active operations will doubtless
close the campaign ere the season COM
pels the army to go into winter quar-
tiers.

The need Of an asylum for the treat
ment of inebriates is almost daily felt,
and never more urgently so than recent
ly in the case of Mrs. Stanfeld, who
was, after having paid the usual fine,
discharged from the Police Court in
this city on Monday, only to be again
taken into custody for drunkenness
before midnight.
A number of our business men and
capitalists, recognizing the urgent ne
cessity of a direct line of railway COM
municaton with the East, met at Ladd

and discussed the question of State aid
for the Portlan!, Dalles and Salt Lake
railroad. We have not been made ac-

taken by the meeting.

Poultry and Eggs for Profit.

The American Ayricmtwjst thus
discOurscs: ''Onc man out of ten thou
sand might probably go into the bust
ness of raising eggs and poultry for
market, profitably; but the chances are
that every one OF the others would fail.
1t is a business that requires as much
tact, patience, practical knowledge, and
Eabits of close and careful observation,
as bee-keeping. A suitable place is al.
50 needed, and II locality where trcsl,
eggs and spring chickens bring good
price. The knowledge Of what is re-
quired can come only through expert
cncc, and cannot be communicated cx-
cept with a great deal of detail That
there is profit in the business is certain,
but only when the right man goes into
it in right place."

Reserved Lands.

In view of the resolution passed
by the Whatcom County Republican
Convention, and passed also by the
kaiama Convention, in relation TO
the reserved lands of the n. i. K. X
grant north of Tacoma, the Bclling-
ham Bay Null says:
1t will be seen by the proceedings
that our county convention has taken
decided action in the matter of rcstor-
ing the lands reserved for the n. =.
X. X. in this county. If this incu.
bus be lifted off the best portion of
our county, so that settlers may take
up homcstcads Of 100 instead So
acrcs-and that, too, on the odd as
well as even scctlons--thc tide of inn
migration to the Skagit River coun
try will be vast and certain. The
multitude of Eastern people who
contemplate seeking homes in this
Territory will soon find their way to
Whatcom and Snohomish counties,
and readily learn to appreciate the
advantages offered by locality pos
scssing, alike, the largest bodies of
agricultural and timber lands on Pu-
get Sound, allording ample susten-
ance and prositable employment for
a large population, and possessing
the greatest navigable facilities for
the transportation of the products of
their labor.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
thought an item or two from this
section of country would not come
amiss, in your VALUABLE paper, we are
located on claim. two miles south of
the new grist mill on Cedar Creek. We
like this part of the '"~ try first rate.
There is some vacant land here yet,
and those wishing homesteads will do
well by coming here. Those wishing
railroad claims cannot better them
selves, rs there is some splendid rail
road land here. Some of it has settlers
on it already. We have good schools
here. 1t is hoped that our grist mill
will soon be in operation, as it is said
Mr.. Woodham, the owner, is doing all
he can to that effect. Crops are very
good in this section. The people as a
general thing are industrious and wide
awake. Improvements are steadily
going on. Mr.. Reid, ST., is just finish
ing up a nice dwelling house; J. H.
Hensley is just commencing one 15x28,
with an ell; he finished we'll the past
week. Found roots at the depth of &c
feet from the surface; it had the ap-
pearance Of barberry root and was in a
good state of preservation. Our cook
hes gone off on a visit now, and left us
to run our own ranch while. MIR.
Editor, come around and we'll try to
get you up a square meal; we have
plenty of potatoes, but have to rely on
our neighbor's patch for them; well we
have plenty of dalk nights just now.

Years ago an old gentle
man named Kirshner brought "pcr
chance" few Lindscn seeds in his
vest pocket from Germany into this
valley. After he was fairly located,
he sowed the seed and harvested the
diminutive crop, which he carefully
preserved and again sowed until now
he supplies his regular customers,
who appreciate and know the nutri-
tious eXccllcncies of this foreign
plant, at the rate of ten cents pei
pound. Lindscn seed are sowed
broad cast and require otherwise
about the same attention as peas.-

THE DEGRADED SEN6 TIE
From the N. Y. Sun,

rron tne ". . Oun.
The Republican Senate has stood in
the way of all substantial reforms
throughout the eight months and a half
that Congress has been in session. There
is not redeeming feature in the pro-
eeedings Of the majority.
Every m asu 'e Of the session looking
to retrenchment, economy, and improve
ment in the civil sci vice. has originated
in the Democratic House. If measure s
OF this kind have been finally passed, il
has happened only after prostrated
struggle, in which the Democrats of the
House stood squarely up to the work,
while the Republican leaders in tht
Senate did their best to defeat them
In the entire h is.ory of the session there
cannot be found solitary exception tc
TINS sweeping remark. In this respect
the present Senate has made the mos
Infamous record in the annals of tba,
body.
The Republicans now have a majority
OF nine in the Senate. The terms O
seventeen of the Republican member,
expire IN March next. There is ever,
reason to believe that the Democrat

The Cool SPRING RESERVOIR Had
the Republicans in the Council put the
work on this Improvement out by con-
tract when it Was started it would no
doubt have been done now. Instead of
this they wasted an immense sum upon
the grounds, and left them in worse
condition after years operations than
when they were at first, This was all
labor and money lost.
If the Democrats then could have had
their way after the size of the reservoir
had been reduced, and put it out by con-
tract it would have been done. But the
Republicans and their party press op-
posed the contract system, and the work
has now been stopped for want of funds
when about $4,000 would finish it.
We regret this of corrse. But there
will be little loss to the city by defer
ring the completion OF the work. We
have plenty of water and it may be bet.
ter to let the banks settle well before the
clay is puddled upon them or the brick

The New York San says: TIE Senate
is responsible for ten millions of appro.
priatiens which the House desired to ro.

principle of justice to the burdened tax
payers. What the House has been able
to accomplish in this direction has

STRICT JusTIoE.-Who ever heard Of
the convection and sentence to five years
imprisonment of an officer of any bank
in the United States for fraud upon the
public? Cashiers and tellers and conf
Dental clerks have been put in prison
(racely) for stealing bank money. But
when the higher of these institutions
are the thieves, and the great public is
vietimized, it somehow happens that
grand julies do not indict, or if, for a
wonder, they find true bill against the
robber or swindler, district attorneys let
the document turn yellow in their pigeon
holes. OF all the banks that have ex-
ploded in the last two years, greatly TO
The loss of the people. the president o
OF scarcely one, however clearly fraud
could be proved against him, is repen
ting within stone walls Not such En-
glish law and Justice. To the long list
of brilliant fnanciers who have wound
nd their careers in prison is now added
one Oakley, who was manager and pro-
prietor Of the Cooperative Credit Bank
of London. He failed last year under
circumstances no more suspicious than
those attaching to the collapse of many
banks and banking houses in the United
States. He went through bankruptcy,
and in this country his troubles would
have ended there and he could have re-
sumed business. But English justice is
not so lenient and sheeplike. Dazzling
as he was, with ho3ts of friends, he was
no better in the eye Of the law than a
vulgar swindler, and we are not sur
prised to hear of his conviction and SEN
tence to five years of penal servitude. 1t
is by impressive warnings like these that
England keeps under controls breed Of
plausibld Williams whose fellows find a
pleasant and safe field of adventure in
the United States. Not until the presi-
dent and other officers of banks who are
guilty of fraud upon the public are held
to stern reckoning, and treated like
humber offenders, shall we feel any
sense of security against this class of
men.-N. Y, Indepensene.
