raids. In 1874 Camp Lewis was established
for the protection of the Diamond R Trans
portation Co., yet this year there will be
nearly as many thousand dollars worth of
property-including the beef drive-pass

strong camp is demanded on the Muscle
shell at once, and a Post should be estab-
lished as early as possible; Our stock inter
ests are SO great that. we cannot. retreat and
abandon this, region. and .our. people would
like to possess it with some feeling OF secur-
ity. They pay the general government. for
their homes, and ask in return that they be
protected in them while they pursue their
industrial avocations by WHICH the nation is
being made wealthy.
