WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA, 1877.
My Dear Sri have an especial desire to see

We do not know how 1t is, but it takes
the sheep of Montana to yield wool. For
instance, the New Northwest Of 2 re-
cent date says: Pr
MI. Edwards informed us that the
shearing of the poorest Of his focks aver.
aged a yield of 8 IA pounds and that
some of his flock are giving II and II
pounds, and the average will probably
p. owe g to 10 pounds. This is fine re-
suit, and shows what can be done in Cal
LATIN county with good breeds, carefully
selected and well cared for. -..----
We begin 70 think that the great wool
product Of the union, must soon be trans
ferred to our neighbors west of us. New
England an d the middle states may as
well give up the 'ssheep."

Useins Rds to KIN Reds.

Gen. Brisbin says: seThe Crows are
the peaceful Indians of the Powder River
country, and are old and firm friends of
the white man. They are fine set of
people, and the best specimens of the In
dian race to be found. They are supe-
rior to the Sioux in courage and ability,
and often fight them successfully two to
one. Now that the Crows are enlisted
in our cause. armed and sent against the
Sioux, they will soon take the fight off
our hands, and either subdue the strag-
Cling bands of Siouxor drive them out Of
the country The government has adoP-
tedthe policy Of using friendly Indians to
fight hostile ones, as in the case of the
Pawnees, and they cannot DO better
thing, if hostilities are to + continue, than
keep the Crows and. other friendly In
dams armed to settle matters with the
Sioux.
= The fact is, the Powder River country
IS destined to be settled at once, and the
whites will stand no more fooling with
the Indian problem Let the govern
ment encourage the killing.

The route from Bismarck to the Black
Hill seems to be: unusually successful
thus far We are pleased to notice
that many who went to the hills by
some other way return by the Bismarck
route. For instance, Mr.. Brill, of Dead
wood, reached the hills via Cheyenne.
His wife, about joining him, he selected
the Custer thoroughfare as the best for
her to reach the Hills 1t is settled at
last that this is the quickest, safest,
best, the most convenient and the cheap
est way to reach the rich gold fields OF
the Black Hills and the only way to
reach the Big Horn.

the choicest lands in Minnesota, and
this in sight of Bismarck. Now we can
not for moment understand if three

wheat, why the millions of acres which
surround his plantation or rancho, will
not in like manner. proitably yield the
