The following was issued by the President OF

GO TO WASHINGTON.

hh. EpIIoR:-1 our position on the
question of the union of North Idaho
with Washington Territory has always
met with favor with nearly every inhab.
liant OF this part of the country. Ia
fact | know of no one wAo is opposed to
becoming a part of Washington in
stead of remaining where We are, re.
mote outcast from the political advan.
tages of Idaho Territory as now gov.
erped. Aside from our geographical
location which seems to me to be an un.
answerabl, argument in favor Of going
to Washington, there has developed it.
self another reason operating very
strongly among US since the lato Indian
outbreak and the suddenly exposed con-
diton of the territory. l refer to the
apparant almost total neglect of our
governor and the other managers at the
south part OF the territory in respond.
ing to our wants in time Of need and
danger. So far as | can learn there
never was during all the hostilties this
north side Of the Salmon mountains
noticeable sign or omen of indian out
break in the southern portion of tho
territory, only such as was famed up in
the diseased brain Of the editor of tho
Statesmen a few numbers of which |
read in the latter part Of June, aud in
the brain Of few others in and about
Boise City. Their excited action did
cause little alarm ia the Weiser valley
But in our sections where were the
lands for which the Indians were con-
tending, their hostility had shown it.
self in the murder Of men women ard
children, and the great and sudden des.
truction of property and every part of
the country was threatened with their
immediate ravages. In this our ex-
tremity we asked Of the Governor for
our quota Of arms to arm our citizens;
and were told that We were too far off
to send us arms, that all the arms be-
longing to the territory were needed 10
the southern part. Again when Mr..
Sanborne and Senator Corbitt tele.
graphed to him that 25o guns would be
Immediately sent to North Idaho from
Vancouver, if he would comply with
the law in the case aud say so by tele-
graph. He would not say that he
would comply with the law. This neg
lect of his in not granting US arms, has
compelled hundreds Of families to leave
their homes aud go to the lower coun.
try for safety, aud nearly all others to
fort up so as to make available what
few rifles and shot guns happened to be
in the possession of cur citizens. Had
our Governor done his duty in this mat
ter thousands of dollars would have been
saved to the people of Idaho, living
North of Lewiston, aud our families
been saved from weeks of nervous fear
and apprehension, occasioned by our
unarmed and unprotected condition.
With the people of Washington it was
entirely different. Gov. Ferry sent to
these eastern counties immediately on
hearing of the outbreak all the arms he
had belonging to that Territory reserv-
ing none for the western part. He
also made requisition for about $50
stand more, and obtained a part of them

came up in person to see the situation
Of things and make any other provision
that might be necessary, although his
people were not so much exposed as
were the people of North Idaho, and
when he learned that our Governor had
made no provision for us, hc ordered
guns to be issued to many on tho Idaho
side OF the line to be used for their pro.
lection, the men receiving them enroll.
ing themselves to be under the authori.
ty of Washington. tn this way we at
late day got some means for self pro-
lection, which our own territory would
not furnish though We had made fire.
quent appeals for arms. We feel deep
ly this neglect of the Governor Of Idaho
and can come to no other conclusion
than that the Governor and other au.
thorities in South Idaho had rather SEQ
all our families butchercd by the say.
ages than to spare to us even our quota
of tM territorial arms. But when taxes
are to be collected it is very noticeable
that our county officers get from the
southern officials terrible raps over the
knuckles if the entire territorial tax is
not forwarded even before it is all COL
lected of the tax payers. This neglect
of US when our lives are 10 danger is
full proof of their disposition to neglect
US in other respects when we have
rights which they can ignore. The
sooner We can absolvc our allegiance {,
a class of men who seem disposed to
treat us 10 this manner, the sooner will
our pathway as people be more pleas.
ant. Washington Territory wants us
and we want to 20 there, and why are
not North idaho and Washington to be
considered the only contracting parties
in the union, and why should not Con-
gress act upon taeir agreement irre-
spcctive Of what South Idaho might
say. Their only course towards us is to
bleed us of our money and then not give
to us the ordinary protection of the
government of the territory to which
we are justly entitled. The late Indian
outrages have furnished to the people
Of Sonth Idaho splendid opportunity
to evince their affection aud regard for
the interests Of the north, and that op.
portunity has been embraced by them
TO plainly tell US that it is matter Of
no concern to them whether or not we
all fall prey to the infuriated savages;
and our houses be burnt up and our
crops and farms be laid waste. A peo.
pie who will tanely submit to such neg.
lect aud treatment by its government,
deserve to be vassals, and such is our
condition so long as We quietly allow
South Idaho to bleed us OF our money
and then turn deaf ear to our appeals
for help when danger comes.
