Singular Conduct.

intrepid courage aud indomltable pur-
pose. that goes as far as aught IN the
world can do TO atone their butcherles,
and ranks them among the first warri-
ors in the world. while he who leads
them should be called Moses instead Of
joseph. Their warfare since they en-
tered Montana has been almost unver
sally marked so far by the highest char
acreri,tic recognized by civilized ma
tons; The only deviation being killing
the wounded or isolated parties. They
perpetrated 10 murders in Missoula
county, and their slight pillaginy was
less than that Of the strayglers Of a
civilized army in the enemy's country :;
while succeeding the battle OF Big Hole,
they committed no outrages upon t" ose
they killed, but crossed their hands
and wrapped them decently in their
garments or blankets. Many people

What Caused the War.

Many theories have been advanced
and many adventures have been ted in
answer to this question, bur here we
have an Indian version, which has not
yet been in print. The Nez Perces and
their friends collected, as they semi an.
nually do, upon Camas prairie to gam
BILE aud ran horses. Sometimes. too. a
maria takes place, and it is then
they usually have way up time. A,
there last meeting everything went on
as before. but, says the Indian. they
had liquor there. and that caused hard
words among themselves. One Indian.
who was engaged to "A young maiden
from the Umatlla reservation. was con
siderably enrag d by sundry taunts
from his half drunken comrades. They
told him the girl would never be his
sqnaw because he was coward as he had
never yet killed white man. Then
they bantered him and even bet him,
that he dare not do it, because his heart
was 'skuknm.' and that he
was AFRAID. tie stood it for some
time, but presently went away. and no
on cared. Towrd evening he return
ed to the camp and yelled: "Now I
killed Boston man" And he prov.
ed it. They went back to the house and
found the dead man. bnt I'll was quiet
and deserted. He kept a store. and
the Indians began helping themselves
from the shelves. They also found
some liquor and all drank freely, because
strange feeling pervaded them. and
hey said. 'liquor will drive it out"
That night they killed three more white
nen. and with one accord shouted the
var whoop. And this is the way. saws

northern Montana, and in the present

necessary that the entire country should

Everything appears at the present mo

1t is remarkable fact, and sometime
that has never before occurred since
the settlement of Montana bv the
whites, that all the northern tribes are
upon friendly terms and in constant
communication with each other, and
should the whole combine for offensive
operations against the whites, it is
questionable whether the entire force

A Prosperous Future.

That potion Of Oregon lying east o
the Cascade range now contains 25,O0(
inhabitants. The corresponding sec
ton Of Washington territory has a pop
ulation exceeding $4,000. Ia both the
accessions by immigration are steady
and large Industry is developing in a
ratio corresponding with the increase OF
Inhabitants. This year the value OF
exported products, exclusive Of the pre-
cious metals, will reach nearly two mil.
lions Of dollars. How rapidly tn,
country is developing may be judge
by any person who witnesses the steady
shipments Of wheat from that direction.
FROM Walla Walla valley alone we are
now receiving here from twelve to fii.
teen hundred tons a week. Owing to
low water the grain in the Snake river
country cannot now be reached. 1t
will tax the transportation of the river
for several months to bring out the
whole wheat crop. From the rate at
which the country is settling, it may be
expected that within three years the
wheat product will be more than doub
led. This year the surplus will prob
ably be forty thousand TONS. 1t will
be one hundred thousand ere bong.
Besides the con n.rce of f ..tern Ore,
gon and Washington, con siderable
part of that Of Idaho territory finds
and must always fad its channel
through the Columbia river. Though
wheat is the largest single item in the
productive industry Of that section, it is
by no means all. There are other
large aud growing resources. Great
increase is noted in the production of
wool, and the general improvement in
quality is bringing it into better favor.
The wool interest 10 our eastern coun.
try will become in a few years some.
thing Immense. Another of its great
resources is in beef cattle. For great
beef market there must be larger cen
ters OF population than our country yet
contains; but as our cities aud towns |!
grow, this market will steadily improve.
Surplus cattle meanwhile are being dis
posed OF in various ways. Canned aud
barreled beef is always marketable.
Great numbers Of beef cattle have been
purchased for the east, aud if the pro
ject OF transporting sauy Uttered beef
from the Pacific Coast in refriyerAtiny
cars shall prove successful, our vast
area OF grazing country will produce
still greater stores Of wealth.
East Of the Cascades there are other
great resources in fruit and in dairy
products. Both can be developed H.
TO all these the mines come
rs an auxiliary interest. to furnish EN-.
ploynent tor labor and to create home
market for agricultural products. 1t is
, country whose future will surpass all
con- lecture and most sangune anticipa
ton. Within ten years it will contain
! population exceeding 100000; and
Portland. as the principal depot of It's
'rsds, will steadily feel the quickeuiny
impulse Of its growing prosperity
