send you an account Of the murders and

The Indians FIRST killed Dick Devine on
Salmon river above John Days. They
then came down to John Days and
killed Henry Elfes, Henry Backridge
and Robert Bland. On the 18th they
went around us on Slate Creek, and
down the, river and killed Harry Mason,
Mr.. Osborne, French Frank, Sam Ben

bury them. We have sent 3bove and
buried the dead found above us on the

lowing families: Mrs. Walch and her
two children, Mrs. Osborne aud her 4
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Titman and 2
children, VIM. Rhett and his family,
Mr.. and Mrs. Baldwin and girl, Mrs.
Elfres and her children and Mr..
Sherwin and family. With the men
who have come to our aid from Fl,r-
ence we have fifty men. Wea are forted
up, and we can hold the place even if
Monteith was with the Indians. I see
that about one third of the hostiles are
reservation Indians. The rest are Jo-
seph's band and the Salmon rivers. We
have sent for men aud arms, but have
not yet got them. If men cannot be
sent, do send Us guns and ammunition
and we will save what we have left as
long IS our provisions hold out, which

now driving Henry Elfres horses by

me that during last year this county ship

potatoes, butter, eggs and vegetables being
shipped west. The present crop prospects
are splendid, the area much larger than
formerly, and wheat and oats two or three
feet high, waving beautifully and no grass
hoppers.
The healthfulness is indicated by the
fact that there were only 81 deaths, during
the last year in the county.
Lands are cheap in this region, but rap
idly advancing. The Railroad lsnds are
selling at from three to ten dollars per acre
on long credit. This road extends forty
four miles through this county, affording
cheap transportation either east or west,
with lower rates than any other road can
afford, as no other road has an extension
through business from ocean to ocean.

The projectors and present advocates OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad, think that
if the General Government would aid the
enterprise to the amount Of about one
hundred million dollars, its success would
be guaranteed. Most people would think
90. But had not the country better get
few hundred millions Of the war debt OF
its shoulders, which was incurred in conse-
auence of the rebellion Of the States now
seeking to plunder the Treasury, before it
wastes more millions on rings of specula-
tors, jobbers, contractors and public land
grabbersP The Northern Pacific Railroad
project was backed to some extent by Gov
ernment credit, but when that frightfully
distended Jay Cooke bubble bursted, the
shock was felt all over the land, and initial
ed & period of general financial ruin. The
impression has obtained that in the grant
ing Of large government subsidies to corpo-
rations there is inevitably something crook
ed and demoralizing, and that large indi-
vidual fortunes are realized vastly out of
proportion to services rendered or public
benefits conferred The General Govern
ment might, doubtless, find more beneficial
ways of disposing Of the public domain
and Of reducing the balances in the Treas
ury, than furnishing the aid required to
build, for the present, at least, any more
railroads across the continet, through vast
deserts and mountain ranges.

RamBIes In Nebraska.

Eds. Tsl.-Last year I examined the re-
sources and advantages of the Arkansas
Valley from the Mississippi River to the
summit of Mount Lincoln. the dome of the
continent from whence flow also the Col.
orado west into the Pacific, and the Platte
River eastward, more than a thousand
miles to the Missouri, near the beautiful
and prosperous city of Omaha.
The Arkansas for the first six-hundred
miles east of the mountains, flows through
vast alkali and sandy plains so dry and
dusty and perched that nothing can grow
in areas of hundreds of square miles on
both sides of the river, except cactus, soap
weed, and scattering grease-brush, and no
animal life except an occasional horned
toad, few lizards. centipedes and rattle
snakes. Like the Nile, the Arkansas re-
ceives no living tributaries of any impor-
tance between the Mountains and Indian
Territory and east Of this no large streams
how into it. The Platte is continually
augmented by scores of large tributaries
from the mountains to its confluence with
the Missouri, many of those rivers includ-
ing the Big Thompson, LOup. North
Platte, Wood, Elk Horn, and hundreds of
smaller streams, altogether draining an
area Of much richer agricultural and graz
ing country, and more than twice the ex-
tent Of the Arkansas and its tributaries.
Instead of alkai plains the country on
both sides Of the Platte from near the
mountains eastward, is beautiful, gently
pndnlating, rich, prairies, spreading out
on either side far beyond The range of Wis
ion, clothed in the beauty of yerdure and
flowers, The luxuriapt grasses waving in
the cooling breeze. as if inviting thousands
more OF cattle, sheep and horses, to ioin
the hundreds OF thousands already fatten-
ing on the grassy slopes and along the bBD-
dreds Of clear sparkling streams frinped
with little ash, elm, walnut, plum, oak
cottonwood, box-elder, grape-yines, etc.
The Platte valley is the great central belt
Of population, commerce, wealth, and
CHRISTIAN ciFllzatlon Between the 39th and
44th parallels of north latitude, within
which are found all Of the great CONNER
eial cities, two-thirds Of the population,
tour-ffths Of the wealth, three-iourths of
the schools, public libraries, and newspa-
psrs, and fopr-ffths Of the charities of the

this great belt, the q, P. R. R. and its con-
