anean Valleys, 10 look after the interests
OF settlers and stockmen. Hendricks
gives his opinion, however, from con.
yersation with the Indians, that II the hos.
tiles now In Warner Valley are yictori-
Gus and drive settlers from these valleys,
the KlamAths will undoubtedly eventu.
ally join them. There is much excite.
ment in Lakeview, sprague River and
Largell's Valley, and the settlers are en-
deayoring to get arms. All the families
in sprague River and Lakeyiew kAye
come into Linkyille and vicinity.

A Silver City dispatch says: The
latest from the front indicates q proba.
bility that the hostiles will leave Rock
Canon and go in the direction Of the
Columbia river, through Yakima Valley,
in Washington Territory, and passing
along to the Spokane country, go 10 Koo-
teuai. They will meet with little or no
opposition on this route, there being no
troops and but few volunteers to meet,
except such Of the latter as may be posi-.
bly, sent out from Walla Walla. II they
take the route indicated they will pass
through a fine stock country and commit
heavy depredations, with the probability
Of numbering many settlers.
