THE WARM SPRING INDIANS. Captain
John Smith, who has been the Indian Agent
at the Warm Spring Reservation for the last
fourteen years, came down to Vancouver on
Saturday. He was called here by General
Howard to assist in disposing of the band of
Warm Spring Indians now prisoners in Fort
Vancouver. After full consultation it was
determined to have Hack -eny's wife and
children brought down here, when they will
be sent to the Indian Territory. to be herded
with Joseph and his Nez Perces This chief
has heretofore given the authorities much
trouble; is high-spirited, and brooks no con-
trol-in fact, never could be controlled in
the least by the authorities, and in view Of
expected trouble it was deemed advisable
to thoroughly dispose Of him. The remain
der of the band will be sent back under
guard to the Warm Spring Reservation.
The Warm Spring Indians on the reserva-
ton held q council few days ago, and re-
solved to support the authorities, and fight
for them il there should be trouble with any
Indians next summer.

Military Items.

Major L. s. Rabbit returned from San
Francisco on the last steamer.
Major T. G. Sullivan, the new Chief Com
missary of Subsistence of this Department,
arrived on the Elder, and has assumed his
duties. Major Bell, whom he relieves, goes
East on the next steamer.
Lieut. c. E. s. Wood, of General How
ards staff, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal, was married to Miss Mamie Smith, at
the residence of the brides grandfather.
Quite a number of prominent army officers
from Washington were present.
On Monday of last week soldier of the
Dist Infantry, whose name we have been
unable to get, who was being confined at
the guard-house at Fort Townsend, made an
attempt to escape from his sentry, which
resulted in the latter piercing him entirely
through the abdomen with his bayonet. His
chances for recovery are doubtful.
A detachment of $50 recruits for the I'd
Infantry, under command of Lieut. S. r.
Jones, 4th Artillery, came up on the last
steamer direct from the East. The men
were brought to the garrison by the Lurline,
which made special trip on Monday, and
went up the river yesterday. These recruits
are destined to fill up the companies at Lap
wal, Ceur d'Alene and Colville.
A detachment of soldiers of the 2lst In
fantry, under charge of Lieut.. Eltonhead ar
rived here from Fort Candy on Saturday
last. They have been detailed to assist in
the construction of the Government tele-
graph line between Vancouver and Lewis
ton, Idaho. In the event of resumption of
hostilities during the coming summer, tele-
graphic communication between the out
lying frontier posts and department head
quarters will prove of value, and General
Howard is preparing for any emergency that
may arise.

MILD CLIMATE.-It is difficult to make
foreigners comprehend that though We are
situated in latitude 40 to a. N, yet we
have the mild climate here of Georgia, with
less heat in summer We have had o few
white frosts here this fall, but there has
been no ice of any consequence, and hardy
flowers are now blooming in the open air,
while those indoors are as fresh and beanti-
full As in summer Light showers, sunshine,
rain bows and clear sky succeed each other
these times here Truly We are in a favored
land-none better in North America.

A LIVELY GHosT.-A chap connected with
work in the military department was going
home late one foggy night recently, when
he was confronted on turning corner with
the outlines of what he at once took to be a
huge ghost. Being possessed of considerable
courage, both artificial and natural, he poked
the ghost with his umbrella, and in ten Sec
onds was picking himself out of the ruins of
a picket fence, growing audibly at the folly
of installing white mule for anything else
but mule. He now believes in the posi-
tive uncertainty of doubtful things.

ALL THE STYLE.-When you call to see a
Vancouver man on business now, and the
clerk bushes and says the man''is away at.
tending the religious meetings, you can
make up your mind that you will see him
about the first of next week, his face tanned,
his hands blistered, the rheumatism in his
left leg, and duck feathers in his hair 1t
is wrong for clerks to thus trihe with peo-
pies feelings.

THE HOME PAPER is the best paper in the
world. EMO other contains news of the mar

villagers; no other gives the time for the pic.

discusses the affairs of the town and county.
