informs us that he has, as the result
of this seasons work, $4,000 grated
and budded trees in his nursery. Mr..
Brown has become the most popular
nurseryman on this northwest coast.
His sales last year amounted to about
$4,000. This year they will be great
ly in excess of that sum. Hard work
and a diligent and intelligent atten-
ton to business are among the secrets
to his success. Considering location,
soil, variety and general excellence,
we do not hesitate to pronounce this
nursery superior to any other on the
Pacific coast.

NOCTURNAL PRowLER.-During the
past week the nocturnal prowler has
been going the rounds, great to the
annoyance of divers and sundry lone
women. He studiously avoids all
habitations where any able-bodied
men are known to be about, and Wis
its the widows and fatherless, taps on
the windows, doors and fences, and
even in some cases tries to effect an
entrance to the house, generally
through the window. He seems to
be a very cratic individual in his
movements, and no one need be sur
prised to see him coming down the
chimney next. He has secreted his
identity successfully so far, but it is
most time he was beginning to take
warning, for we know of several doub-
le-barreled shot guns in readiness for
instant use, and their owners know
how to handle them.
LATER-That mischevious wretch
who has been paying nocturnal
visits about town had better be lit
tie careful. His identity is better
known than he imagines it is. The
proper steps will shortly be taken for
his arrest.

The Yakima Indian, Reservation.

Under the above caption, the Port
land Bee says:
We are informed that the treaty with
the Indians by which forty townships
of most valuable farming lands in
Yakima valley were set off to them, will
expire in 1879, and it is hoped by many
that this extensive reservation will be
either thrown open to settlement or
greatly reduced in size, as only $50 In
dams make use of it, and the valley
would accommodate many farmers with
prolific lands and desirable homes.
Forty townships is equal to tract ten
miles wide and sixty miles long, and
cantains 92l, 600 acres of LAND, which
would provide cighty-acre tracts for /, y
$50 settlers. The Indians who now
occupy, or rather prevent others from
occupying, these lands, could be easily
removed to other reservations, and the
valley, which is now so desolate, would
soon become a garden of farms.
The treaty, SO far as the annuities
were concerned, will expire in 1879.
The land was made a reservation for
an indefinite period, and now as the
Indians are reduced in number to a
small band, there is no longer any
use for so extensive a territory for
their occupation. The Simcoe Res
ervation, or Yakima Valley, is one of
the finest in the Territory, and will
some day be the home of thousands
of prosperous families. The settle
ment of the valley should begin as
soon as possible, and to that end let
the land be put upon the market, sub
ject only to homestead and pre-emp-
ton entry.
