Slowly the facts are leaking out
about Wilbur's good Indians" Soon
after the time Of Major Kress' attack
on the Indians crossing the Columbia
Wilbur made a howl about peace
able Indians being disturbed in this
ruthless manner, that they were not
hostiles, but had been off catherine
roots, etc. In that attack one Indian
was known to be wounded and car
rled off by his comrades. That Indian
IS now with Wilbur's Indians recov-
erlng from his wounds, and proves
to be a Bannack. Now it certainly
shows extremely disc i'm IN tin o
craftsmanship on the part of Major
Aress' men to hit the only bad Indian
IN that crowd of forty of fifty scram-
bling up the bluff on that occasion.
y private letter from the Yakima To-
AGILITY has been shown us, from per-
son whose statements we can rely
upon implicitly, that at the time Per-
kins and his wife were missing, Viii
bur was appealed to for men to send
in search of them. He assured the
personsappealing to him that Perkins
was safe, and brought an Indian to
corroborate the statement, who was
within three days afterward underar-
rest for the murder. A few hours
after Wilbur insisted they were
all right the news came from white
sources that the bodies had been
found. The Indian arrested and
known to be guilty was allowedtoes-
cape and no other arrests made al
though the guilty are known. Things
are not as they should be on thatres-
crvation, even if Wilbur has been
there fifteen years.

Notice is hereby given that Republican
County Convention is called to assemble at
Kalama on Tuesday the 24th day of Septem-
Der, 1873, at o'clock p NJ, for the purpose of
electing three delegates to the Territorial
Convention to be held at Vancouver on Octo-

the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before it. Owing to the fact
that there was no Republican county ticket
in the field in the last general election, the
vote was very irregular. The committee has
therefore fixed upon the following equitable
superintendent based upon the whole num-

subject to such correction as the Convention
when assembled may deem proper, as fol-
lows:
One delegate for every 10 votes cast, and

Referring to the Northern Pacific
railroad as a lively corpse" the Ia
coma Times says;
Some of our wildcat railraod pro-
jectors take great pleasurein publish
ing to the world that the n. 2. r. r.
Co. is defunct institution-that tits
dead, ''never more to live, move, nor
have being" When we take into
consideration that the past few years
have not been very propitious for
building railroads-yet, in 1877, the
n. ?. r. r. Co. built and equipped
nearly ninety-five miles of track; in
1873, it has commenced the construct
of two hundred miles between Bis
mark and the Yellowstone; and has
two large parties in the field survey
ing line across the Cascade Noun
tains, preparatory for an early con-
struction, these things clearly demon
strate the n. p. r. r. Co. is about
the livelest corpse in the country,
and one that our make believe rail
road institutions would do we'll to
initiate, or dry up.
The Olympia Standard has filled
up Elliott's Bay and destroyed Seat
tie by the following remarks in an
article on Puget Sound Harbor:
Grass will grow in less than fifty
years in front of Seattle. Already at
low tide, the flats are visible in front
of the railroad wharf. A breakwater
might possibly be built, to turn the
sediment away from the city front,
but such works are costly and would
involve an expense almost certain
to undermine its prosperity.

COMMON SCHOOLS.

The following from the Russell vile DEMOCRAT is to the point:
 Go to work, stir our people up and stimulate them to proper exertions to sustain Q good common school system. It IS the great need of our State. More intelligence among the masses we need and must have. The common school system must be worked up. We have too many men and women who cannot read. What kind of government can we expect from voters who cant read ballots they vote? A country where this is the case is the demagogue's para disc and the trickster's heaven. Let us keep hammer1ng at thls matter until we have a common school s,,s= ,,z,. tenn which will atIcsssaa every boy and ,.5.sa o!.s2 in the State an opportunity to get good common school educa- tior.
 Would it be asking too much of the DEMOCRAT to suggest what kind of change he wants. What 'com- mon school system" he wants, that may afford every boy and girl in the State a good common school educa- ton. We favor common schools. We favor an educated citizenship. We favor any law that will apply most directly and to the best adyan- tage every dollar paid for school purposes. Let ps hear from tue DEMocRAG-- Ft. Smith Herald.
 l. IS not so easy matter to tell how to get the system as it is to tell that we need it. We are free to confess that we do not know exactly what changes ARE needed in our school law, to make it effective. We have not made the minutie of this subject matter of study, but we know that good public schools are the greatest blessings which gov ernment can bestow upon the people, and we want our law makers to study the matter That is their business Let them furnish the laws upon this subject, then we of the press can stimulate the masses to take an in terest in the subject of pubic schools, and can work up public sentiment which will insure the put ting of said laws into practical ope- ration.

STATE FAIR POSTPONED.

As will be seen from the subjoined report of the proceedings of meet ing of the Executive Committee of State Fair Association, held at Little Rock on the 10th inst, the State Fair has been postponed until the 18th day of November. Ordinarily we think the date now fixed upon IS little too late, but under the cir cumstances this year, we are of the opinion that the postponement is wise and proper. There is now a plenty of time to get good ready, and we hope each county will i'm prove the time and that all will be we'll represented on the 18th prox.

Two Crops III Ono Season.

Where under the sun can reoIor so healthfui aud yet so prolific ss ours be found? h the far tropical lands, vegetation is almost per6etn. al, and crops can be gathered at apv season of a year that really has m seasons but long unvafying sprng and summer. But with their rapI luxuriance of production, there is torid heat, miasma and death. Hea with 8 climate ever mild, with an at. mosphere pure and health giving and with all the glorious variety oi four fuil-rounded seasons in each year, we have almost tropical fecan. dity of soil. 1t is no uncommon thlng to raise three successive crops of clover on same land in single sea. son. This year our dewberry vine, in some localities produced two full crops, one in June and the other in September. And Sam Jones, who lives about ten miles southwest of town, a few days since brought in a rosy-cheek specimen of the second. crop of June apples some of bis trees have borne this year. The first crop had hardly been gathered be. fore the trees were again covered blossoms, and the apples riponed about the last of September. Here, oh, seeker for home, is the region in winch to pitch your tabernacle. Here are health and plenty for just as little work as anywhere beneath the inverted blue wash basin of the skies-Bentonviile Advance.
 Two crops of apples in one seasow is not the only instance that has come to onr knowledge to illustrate the prolific producing capabilities Of our soil. It is an easy matter to get two crops of irish potatoes every sea. son. Strawberries too, frequently yield two crops during the same seas- on.
