caassd the valley TO be rslinguished
to the Indians. The Government
did nothing either for the settlers Or
tho Indians, and ever since there
has been trouble and threat of out
break. At length the war has been
precipitated, and already more than
the value of the lands FIVE times over
has been spent by the Government
to overcome the defiant hostiles,
without apparent effect, while the
loss TO the settlers is still greater,
aud that life irreparable. Had the
Government carried out the design
OF 1874, paid the occupants for their
crops and other improvements, and
secured 70 the Indians for their de-

JOSEPH IS WAR CHIEF, AND BRAVE LION.
He is . 6 wild Indian" and scorns
to become civilized. He is q follow
er of Smohalla, the " Dreamer" who
is a sort Of Indian Mohammed; his
brief but alarmingly comprehensive
doctrine is founded upon the Bible
record of Gideon and his chosen
band of 800, to redeem his whole
people from the Midianite whites.
Smohalla despises the peaceful Nez
Perces. He does not speak their di-
alect. He does not allow them to
know his. He is a Walla Walla, of
the Priest Rapid tribe, and refuses
to associate or have communication
with civilized Indians, or with any
one who have dealings with or
friendship for the whites. His doc
trine is destroying one-to exter-
inmate the palefaces, and to restore
the whole country to the Indians.
He has most inspiring manner,
and has thousands of followers on
this and the other side of the noun
tains. All the disaffected and rene
gade Indians who refuse to go upon
the reservations or who are on them
against their choice, will join Joseph
and wage the war upon the whites,
agreeably to the teachings of Som
holla. And never have the Indians
had a more favorable opportunity
for destructive and revengful war.
With the Modocs it was q constrained
field of operations; in this it Is com
paratively boundless area. In that
il was to hide in the almost inacces-
sible lava beds, and exhaust their
supplies of food and powder; in this,
il is to roam over a broad expanse,
every foot Of which they know init
mately. and they can capture sup
plies, obtain arms and amnunItion
~ they strike and slaughter. There
they were surrounded and had at
last 10 surrender. here they hsve .
