WALLULA, July 9-Yesterday after
noon, about 3 o'clock, just after the
passage of the train from Walla Walla,
a band of 90 Indians crossed the rail-
road about six miles from this place
all we'll armed and without squaws.
At settlers house, where they
stopped, they profcssed great friendship
for the whites, and claimed to be Mo-
SEES Indians, and that he had sent them
to aid Homily in fighting the Snakes.
But few people here believe their story
and think they are some of Moses peo-
pie going TO join the bsstiles Last
night some FIVE or six families arrived
from the Lower Yakima, hav NJ been
notified by friendly Indian, living at
the mouth of Snake river, to leave the
as the hostiles were expected
to cross the Columbia and raid the
whole of that country. This Indian
killed his horse by the bard ride he
had to warn the settlers. An old IT,
dian chief, naturalized citizen, too,
named Thomas, is in town to-day. with
several Of his warriors, who profess to
be very friendly, and are doubtless so.
They seem to be ignorant of the state
of affairs in Umatilla county, and care
ABOUT the matter any more
than they are anxious to make the
whites understand that they are
friendly. The Indians who crossed the
railroad said they were avoiding the
settlements for fear of alarming the
already excited whites.

Not weed is allowed to grow, or the
smallest clod allowed TO 60 unbroken.
He cultivates deep down and stirs the
soil often. This brings out the latent
advantages of the light and warm

in the Spring to delay vegetation. The
porous soil is free TO the influence Of
air and sun, and is warm and generous.
Fer garden purposes the ridge lands are

speaking of the recent Expectations

monarchs of all they survey. The area
of territory now invested by them en-
braces some four thousand square miles,
combining all natural facilities for
a prolonged war. There are now
hardly eight hundred people in Canyon
City, and less than one hundred of the
adult population armed The main
street of the town is within easy rifle
range of surrounding eminences, which
afford numerous points of vantage for
an attacking party. The whole village
is completely at the mercy Of an incon-
siderable number Of savages were they
disposed to sack it, The terror stricken
inhabitants have taken refuge for sew
era< days in huge tunnel built for
mining purposes, which affords the only
safe retreat in the place John Day
Valley is about 60 miles long, and the
greater portion of it has been compile
tely devastated by savage hordes. In
all the engagements that have occurred
these savages outnumbered the voluD-
teers four to one.
