Chief Moses and the Indians.
The Portland Standard saws:

The Portland Standard says:
The latest news from Chief Moses is
to the effect that he is trying to be
friendly with the whites, and in order
to conciiate them, drove from his camp
a few days ago the two hostile Nez
Perces who sought shelter there.
These men fought with Joseph during
the campaign. They have been receiv.
ed by Smohalla at his camp near Priest
Rapids. Gen Howard thinks they will
be surrendered without any trouble.
A brotherin-law of Chief Joseph, who
was apprehensive of another war, visit
ed the fort at Walla Walla recently and
informed the commanding officer of his
fears, saying he thought the soldiers
were "mad," and the Indians were
afraid. The officer communicated with
Gen. Howard, and the latter, to calm
their fears, sent the following dispatch
last Saturday:
PORTLAND, Feb. 9, 1878.
COMMANDING OFFICER Fort WAL.
LA WALLA:-No danger of Indians
while behaving themselves properly be-
ing disturbed by soldiers. We are try
ing to effect an arrangement that all
Indians, those with Moses and others,
may each secure title to homesteads as
whites do. Tell him, Gen. Howard af-
ter his return from Washington, would
like to have talk with Moses at some
convenient point. The soldiers are not
"mad," but friendly.
0. 0. HOWARD, Gen. Commander.
If Gen. Howard can effect the home
stealing of Indians upon reservations,
he will secure lasting peace. FED. |.

GENEssEE VALLEY FEB. l9th 1878.
Ed, TELLER:-In coming from Day
ton last week, we met quite a number
of emigrants who were out IN search of
land. They were all married men who
had left their families in California, un-
til they could select homes for them in
Washington or Idaho territories. They
told us that the people of Dayton and
vicinity, had recommended them to the
Assotin Country. We would say to all
those who are coming, that if they can't
find in that country what they are look
ing for, to just step over the hill and
see what we northerners have to show
them. We feel quite sure that after
they have seen our soil, drank from our
springs, and looked in upon the we'll
filled graneries of our old settlers, they
will cry out in the language of the poet,
"bully for Genessee."
A land laden with oats and wheat,
Plenty of money and lots to eat.
Original.
If there are any old bachelors in
Lewiston, who think of locating in this
vicinity, keep them at home we don't
want them out here. l called on one
the other day, and asked him what he
would subscribe towards erecting our
school house, and he nearly went mad
at the idea of helping to educate other
peoples children. Mr.. Thomas Hud-
son, our gentlemanly school superin-
tendeut, is doing everything in his
power to give to the children of this
country such facilities for education, as
their situation will warrant. Now Mr..
Editor. if you will just keep your eye
pealed for those emigrants, locate them
in Idaho, and make them
all subscribe for THE TELLER, you will
have done something to be proud Of.
Yours &C.,

pretty dilemma in which our govern

from Miles and Howard, mention no

The letter we publish from Col. B.

to the presence Of these murderers at

taken to make proper requisition for

affected as freezing TO death His case has
been examined by several skllfu physicians,

was continually using all the device, to warm

by exposure to extreme cold, sitting near roUs-

fact that he put cloths on his head to protect
the scalp from actual burning while doing
this and the cloths have been set on fire by the
heat he subjected them to in cndcavoring To
warm his head. Some time ago he made Il
visit to Livingston in the hope of beng bene-
fitted by the artesan water, when DIR. Webb
of that place, saw his case. Lately, he had de
termined to return to Livingston and try again
the waters, and again consulted DIR. Webb
going to lis office for that purpose He seem
led as one suffering from extreme cold and
asked DIR. Webb if he had any fire in his office
He told him that he had not. and that il was
