ne IndIan Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.--The severe
criticisms uniformly in che annual res
port BY the military commanders Of the
western departments warrant the belief
that . preconcertsd plan Of attack has
been adopted BY officers in the army upon
the Indian Bureau for the purpose ofin-
duencing Congress in reference to the
proposition to transfer the management
Of the indians from the Interior to War
department, which proposition is now
being considered BY joint committee
Of two houses. The attention Of Sccrs-
taty Sohurx has been directed to the re-
ports Of army officers upon this subject,
and il is probable that he will, through
the Secretary Of War. call upon Gen.
Sheridan and others who have incorpor.
atcd Ia their reports grave charges at.
footing the integrity Of his management
Of Indian affairs, to furnish specified.
ticne and proofs to sustain them.
The Indian Bureau are struggling
hard for prolonged existence, bat it
will be invain.

We have received a private letter
from Seattle, written by one Of the
members of the late Constitutional Con.
vention, relating to the votes of King
county on the Constitution. From it
we make the following extracts:
"SEArrLE, Nov, IL 1878.
Hon. A. LELAND--DEAR SIR THE
election is now over, and the Constitu-
ton is, without doubt, adopted. I
feel proud of King county. The man.
ner in which our citizens responded to
the appeals in that behalf are very graf.
flying indeed. The Constitution has
l ,254 majority in King county alone.
Don't you think that our people are
anxious for state government? The
federal officials in this part Of the terri
tory were nearly all opposed, and did
their best to defeat it. But this is the
peoples movement and right nobly
have they stood by it. Brentz has 294
majority in King county. I see by the
papers this morning that Brentz will
have, as now reported, over 1900 ma.
jority with four counties to hear from.
\ X

the Constitution as ours have been.
have but little hope of admission until
after the next Presidential election but
the way is now clear, and the final re.
suit tolerably certain.
When the organization is perfected, the
state capital fixed at Yakima city, with
one U. S. Senator from the east side
and one from the west side of the noun
tains, then We will begin to fully realize
the Importance Of state, and feel the
full strength and power commercially
and politically, which will follow as a
natural consequence Of our geographic
cal and maritime Importance. This will
be glad out come for some of US who
have waited for these many years for
the fruition Of our hopes. I begin to
take new courage. Let me hear from
you and oblige, Yours truly,
A. B. L."

Thar THsHAr Of Bill Ladd, that 10 the
event tho people Of Washington adopted
their Constitution, he would not invest a
dollar of his money in the State, did have
the effect to frighten the poor walla Wal
laians out Of their senses and part Of the
good people Of Columbia county. But
what will poor Bill Ladd now do with his
money? He had better feed It out to tramps
than to attempt TO euslsve whole State
by its use. II narrow gsags railroads can
only Be built BY the people succumbing to
such threats they had better continue to
make use Of bull teams to transport their
surplus to u market Railroads necessarily
will be built upon principles that will leave
the people free, in due time.

Navigation Of Clearwater.


Some have heretofore supposed that
the Clearwater river could not be made
navigable for steamboats,. They have
asserted this without any personal ex.
animation, and many have so asserted
from tho fact that they could not have
intslligently judged Gifts feasibility had
they made personally full examination
Of the river, and many men because
they don't know . thing themselves,
think that no one else can know, and
therefore they are loud in denying its
existence. Several of our riverman
have long ago claimed that there was
sufficient water in the stream at all seas.
ons to float . good size steamer in the
shoalest places, provided the channel
could be cleared. It became necessary
to remove doubts upon this point, by
procuring q competent engineer to go
over it and examine with view to its
practicability as navigable stream, in
order that all cavil might cease, before
application be made to the government
for aid to clear the channel. Therefore
our Delegate in Congress asked for a
preliminary survey to test the matter,
and the survey was ordered, and it has
been made and has proved far more
than the hopes Of the most sanguine up.
on the question. Now we want the ap,
preparations for the work, and our PEG.
pie should be persistent in their appeals
in this direction till the money needed
10 appropriated. Last Winter our citi-
sens BY strong petition presented the
importance Of this improvement to the
cou ntry, and perhaps that appeal will be
sufficient, but if not, they must not be
weary in presenting and urging their
claims. About 5000 square miles of
the best wheat lands in the northwest
will be Immediately tributary to the
navigation of this stream. These border
on both sides between this and the mid.
die fork, and no portion Of them is more
than Is miles distant from the bank of
thib stream. While there is large ad-
ditional amount still farther back on
either side that will be also tributary in
due time.
True that about 900 square miles Of
this land i now absorbed by the Nez
Perce reservation and so long as that
reservation exists it cannot be settled
and cultivated, but will lie waste, save
few patches along the small river bot
tom whore there is little Indian Quilt
walton. But the day is not distant
when this reservation will be among
tho things that were. But the reserva-
tion need not delay the government
from furnishing settlers outside this re.
sefvation proper facilities for transport.
ing their surplus to a market. The
estimated whole cost Of the improve.
msnt - made BY the government en-.
gineer, Rastwick, is only $4,000, thus
furnishing full 80 miles Of practical
steamboat navigation, where now nc
steamboat runs, and through country
not equalled in advantages on any stream
on the coast, for the same distance. II
has better and stronger lands than
chose bordering the Columbia or Snake
rivers, and has the additional advan.
tags Of having plenty Of timber to. sup.
ply the settlers, which neither the
Snake or the Columbia have on their
borders. Improve Clearwater river BY
81 means.

Maj, for Constitution ia
As We said last week, many persons
put in their ballots as they were print
cd without erasing either "for" or
against" before the word "Constitu-
tion," supposing they we're voting for
the Constitution when in fact their bal.
lots counted nothing. This was partic.
ularly the case in Nee Perez county
for the whole number of votes cast was
6l8 for delegate, but only 498 were
cast that counted upon the question Of
the Constitution. It is gratifying tc
know that our people are so nearly
unanimous IN favor of the new state
under the plan and with the boundaries
as proposed in the Constitution submit.
ed to them. It shows that they are
alive to their own interests. Gu,
southern neighbors should begin t.
know that we mean business in thi.
movement and offer no further cavil on
the ground Of having no desire for .
change of government.

have purposely refrained from discussing
any matters connected with the Federal gov
ernment, for several reasons; among the most
prominent is the fact that, while the State and
Federal governments are closely connected
with each other, and while the happiness o.
the people of this State is much dependent
upon both, yet the orbits of these two gov
ernments are entirely separate and distinct
and the harmony of their movements can be
best preserved by each con6ning itself to the
discharge of its own functions as defined and
limited in the Constitutions of this State and
of the United States. r . .4.
This was certainly the intention of the
founders of our system, and could that be
strictly carried out, home rule and non-inter.
ference on the part of the general govern.
ment, except as to those matters embraced in
the Constitution, and which are the founda.
tion stones Of that system, would be the grand
result-a result which would be hailed with
joy, opening, as it would, a bright future to
the people of this State.
In closing this communication, permit me,
gentlemen, to invoke the blessings of AL.
mighty God upon your deliberations. May
he give you wisdom from on high, and may
the performance of your arduous and respon.
sible duties be marked with that harmony
which so eminently distinguished the General

A NEW LIFE PRESERyER.

A few years ago shrewd hunter in the
Western country sat about discovering why
the deer, an animal not specially adapted by
nature for life in the water, could swim longer
and keep aAoat longer than any quadruped
The result of his Investigations was the dis
covery that the hair of the deer differs from
the capillary covering of other animals in
being remarkably cellular, and extremely
we'll adapted to retain air. Experiments
with deer hair proved that it was wonderful.
ly buoyant. A Yankee named Peck was the
first to utilize the discovery, and after taking
out patent for the invention, he sold it to
Col. Nj. A. Bryson, of St. Louis, who associa-
ted with Mr.. Thos. Knight in applying the
material to practical uses. The "Deer Hair
Manufacturing Company" have their factory
at 3O7 West street, where they make various
articles intended to keep mankind from
drowning. Their life buoy, in use in the Uni.
ted States Navy, weighs only two and half
pounds, but it will sustain the weight of two
men. Their life corset, weighing only half q
pound, will support the heaviest man, and
their mattress, weighing eight pounds, with
two square pillows, weighing pound and a
quarter each, will sustain the weight Of five
persons. The mattresses are supplied with
life lines at the sides, and, by uniting num-
ber of these, little raft can be provided in
few moments. All these appliances are
made of duck, well packed with deer hair.
Another novelty is a life preserving pillow,
which can be used as a rest for the head, and,
at a moments notice, converted into life
preserver. The life jacket fastens without
straps, and can be worn under the coat with
out inconvenience.
The most interesting of the many inven.
tions of the company is raft formed Of two
cigar.shaped cylinders, each twenty inches in
diameter, packed with deer hair and con-
nected by a flooring of wood. The cylinders
are fifteen feet long, and the whole apparatus
weighs only three hundred pounds. 1t has q
sustaining capacity of $500 pounds, and
room for thirty persons.
In 1876, government commission made
experiments with the deer hair, aud reported
that one pound of it would sustain weight
of ten pounds for three days. The latest
test was by board of naval officers, who re-
ported that after the deer hair had been sat-
urated for seven days, it sustained in water
twelve times its weight, thus showing buoy
ancy FIVE times greater than that of cork.
Recently the company have adopted meth
cd of removing the oil and other extraneous
matter from the hair, and by this means its
buoyancy has been increased more than one
hundred per cent. ~ ...s.
