THE INDIAN WAR

There is no Indian news of any con-
seonence to chronicle. So far the
troops have made no attack on the
sayages. and most likely viii not for
several days, as the red fiends are
hard to catch. The war is not half
as huge an affair as was at first her
aided abroad, although it is bad
enough, and has been great draw
back to Idaho. The Malheurs have
all left the reservation and it Is not
known where they have gone. Should
they prove TO be hostile, which we
think almost certain, there viii be
some work for the army, unless the
sayages are whipped and captured IN
the first general fight; for should sue
cess attend those on the warpath they
will hold out inducements to other and
more powerful tribes TO join them
This should terminate the Indian wars
in Idaho. We have had enough of
them. So long as settlers arc obliged
to OCCASIONAL fee for their lives in a
few of our valleys, people in the East
imagine there is no place in the Terri
tory but that is liable TO be attacked
at any time, and consequently inigra-
ton is retarded. A huge flow of emf
grafton had already commenced when
the Bannock war broke out, which
was heralded abroad from Boise City
by few individuals who pretend to
have the welfare Of the country at
heart, as promising to be war of inn
mense proportions and bloody in the
extreme. The Government is to be
blamed for what damage has already
been done by not keeping a sufficient
number of soldiers at the different mil
itary posts throughout the country TO
suppress troubles when they COM
mence. The Indians raid the settle
ments and 60 to the mountains before
soldiers can arrive from abroad We
are sorry that General Howard is not
authorized to accept volunteers. as
there are many men among US who
helped to reduce the Bannock tribe
greatly in numbers several years ago,
and who would do good work if al
lowed to 90 to the front.

The county auditor and his clerks have,
from time immemorial, been bothered with
parties who own property and necessarily
pay taxes, but are ignorant of the exact de-
scription and location. Such parties have
always looked to. the auditor to plat their
property for them. AS the law now stands
a great amount of this bother will be obviated.
The auditor is having circulars printed to
send to those interested, explaining the mat
ter and informing them what they may rely
on in future.
The circular commences by calling the at
tention of the party addressed to the follow
ing extract from the general tax laws of 1878:

tract or lot Of land is divided in parcels Of
irregular shape, that cannot be described

the plat thereof recorded. If the owners of
any such tract shall refuse or neglect to
cause such plat, and survey when necessary,
to be made and recorded within thirty
days after such request, the county surveyor,
upon request of the county auditor, shall
make out such plat from the records of
the register of deeds, if practicable, but if it
cannot be made from such records, then he

thereof, and the said auditor shall have the
same recorded. Such plats being duly GER
