Moses AND HIS BAND.-S. 2. Con
din, an old and worthy pioneer, who
came down from his rancho, located
145 miles north OF Walla Walla, at
the mouth of Sanpuyell creek, says
there is no danger anticipated by
the settlers up there and adds: 1--WE
live nearer Moses and his tribe than
anybody" These people seem to be
grieved when they come down here
and learn the fabricated news of an
Indian outbreak. which has a tend
ency to retard immigration into that
beautiful country. lying there idle
awaiting the tiller's hand. Mr.. G..
came down with orders and some
cash to buy plows and farming uten-
sis for Iadians living near him. and
surely that don't sound much like a
warwhoop. Pour in, you industrious
sons of toll. and settle up the count
~ which God hath made. not the
Indian. Take up. pre-empt and
homestead thase fertile regions, and
fear not the savage's grin, for sooner
or later he must either starve or
work. The same chance is offered
to the poor white man almost in
every country, and surely he is as
good as an Indian any day. There
is no danger, and hence we say to
those looking for homes, go where
you can find them. Don't look for
Indians, neither fear them; but
strike out-create homes and raise
wheat, not false alarms. - Walla
