Indian Prospects.

The dispatches about Sitting Bull
and his purposes, and his force of allies
are by no means calculated to tranqulYze
the people on the frontier The omens
which settlers in the vicinity of Moses
observe according to the ". ". Union,
are making these exposed settlers very
uneasy, and their families are being sent
to places OF safety in consequence The
promise Of Gen Howard not to disturb
these Indians, don't seem to inspire them
with confidence. The authorities at
Washington City don't seem to anticipate
hostilities. But from their stand point
they are not so we'll situated to know
the facts, as are many frontiersmen who
with cool heads view the signs in closer
proximity. We all hope and pray for
peace, but ITO be forewarned is to be
forearmed," and our suggestion is, men
exposed, should possess themselves of
good arms, Keep them in trim, and easy
OF access at all times, and their amuni-
ton dry. Take no false alarm, but face
the facts with fortitude. 1t will be the
surest way Of averting war, mistreat
no Indian nor suffer any to mistreat you
with impnnity. Delegate Fem in
letter to Gov. Brayman of date March
End, adds this in his postscript:
"The military authorities and especially the
indian bureau appear to think there is no
serious apprehensions of offensive action BY Sit

Lewiston Prospects.

We are inclined to the opinion that
Lewiston has experienced its darkest
days. It is the oldest town in Idaho
territory, and was once a place of large
mining trade, and it has derived most of
its former support from the mines East
oft. AS these mines have gradually
lessened in their annual yield from their
placers, the town has, lessened in its trade
and scores Of men who reaped good
harvest here, have taken their gains
pulled up stakes and gone TO San Fran
cisco, Portland and other large towns
and established themselves in business.
But very little Of the money made here
was ever reinvested here 10 the way of
building up the place or in making any
general improvements. The quartz
mining has up to the present time failed
to secure the investment Of the capital
needed to properly developc their wealth,
tho there is now prospect that these
mines will not much longer be neglected
by those capable of bringing them to the
front, aud when this is done the wealth
Of those mines will add materially to the
trade aud wealth Of Lewiston. But the
permanent settlement Of the wheat and
other agricultural lands in the country
surrounding, which has been and is still
going forward is causing great change
in the purposes of traders and business
men in regard to making Lewiston
nnrmanank location Gov b,e;,os. J
causing some little effort to secure the
trade Of the agricultural portion of the
country around. If this purpose to
cater to this class of trade had been
earlier formed, it is reasonable to suppose
that it would have saved the practical
bility of establishing several other small
trading towns in the surrounding region,
which now hold check upon the
growth and prosperity Of Lewiston. But
better late than never, and as our town
site is one Of great advantage in many
important respects, it is not an unwar.
rantable prediction that energy, good
will and perseverance, will soon make
large improvements in the cxtent and
character of our trade with the whole
surrounding country. Already we hear
OF several parties contemplating the
building of brick fire proof stores and
ware houses, so soon as they can pro-
cure the brick and lime, with which to
build, and to this end some permanent
arrangements should be made with the
Government and the Indians to utilize
the extensive and excellent lime stone
quarries that exist on the Lapwai In.

people all through the country demand
this. If our citizens do not adopt and
continue the "dog in the manger" pol,

show healthy growth, and become one
of the most desirable locations for bust.
