Mr.. EDITOR: am aware that those
Of the people Of the Territories about to
form State gogernment who arc op,
pose to the annexation scheme, viii o9-
pose on first principles the adoption of
the Constitution. This opposition exists
entirely within the purview Of our mon.
led monopolies. They object to the
Constitution because it gives no prefer
ence between man and man. 1t prohb-
its special privileges. 1t fixes maxi
mum OF fares and freights. 1t makes
our railroads and steamboats, common
carriers. 1t taxes the property of the
religious denominations as well as those
Of the irreligious. 1t places monopolies
on plain with the humblest citizen.
Aud holds all mcn equal before the law.
Now who are the oprosers. 1t is the
monled antocrat who CONTROLS the exc.
cutive, the Judicial and in part the leg

tories. 1t is tho monied antocrat who
regulates the railroad and steamboat
fares and freights throughout these two
Territories. 1t is that monied antocrat
who turns tho inhuman savage loose
upon the people annually y,--this is the
direct opposition that the State loving
people are to meet, while this apathy of
the opponents, and this slander from the
press is the transparent mask under
which they are arrayed for skirmish.

The Great Result.

Gil, and Moses has signifed to Gen.
Howard what he wants Including the
land he wants. The following order of
the Generals indicates that Moses terms
were complied with SO far as it was in
the power of the General to comply, and
therefore Moses has agreed to remain at
peace with the whites:
TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
All persons are hereby notified not to
take up land within the following limits.
TIL the pleasure Of the President shall
be made known, as TO whether or not he
shall grant the request OF the Columbia
Indians, that is to set apart, as An In.
dian reservation. This proposition, to
commence with this date, viz: the 9th
day of September, 1878. Boundaries
as follows: From the extreme eastern
point on the Columbia river at White
Bluffs, rnnning northeasterly in a. direct
line to the mouth Of the Spokane river.
thence crossing the Columbia river,
northerly along the right bank of said
river eight miles, from this point along
the ridges westerly, parallel with the
Columbia river and distant twelve miles,
to crest of Rattlesnake range; thence in
a direct line to the Yakima Falls (about
10 miles from mouth of said river);
thence following the Yakima river to it's
mouth; thence following the Columbia
river northwest to the place Of begin
ming. O. 0. HOWARD.
Brigadier General
Commanding Department.
This at least secures temporary set.
tlement of the doubtful question of
Moses status towards the whites. Iftho
government at Washington abrogates
its order once issued to put Moses on
the Yakima reserve. and accedes to the
proposition to give Moses this new re.
serve OF land we may expect a more
permanent peace. We are informed
that at the council some of the Indians
expressed desire to take up homesteads
and live as the whites, ana others desir-
ed to have large tract OF land to be set
apart as that belonging to the Indians in
common. To this last it seems that the
General gave his assent and thus issued
the above order to all whites to not tres,
pass upon the lands Of the new reserve.
Perhaps this was the best policy the
General could adopt under the present
system Of the Indian Bureau. But in
the event that that Bureau should be
transferred 10 the War Department at
the coming session of Congress. we are
led to understand that Gen. Howard fa.
vors the homestead plan Of permanently
locating the Indians as the one Offering
the best assurance Of u permanent peace.
and one tar less expensive to the govern
mcnt. In this we accord with his views
and so does most Of the press of this
coast at the present. 1t has been our
policy for years and one we have never
hesltated to avow from first to last.

Taxing Church Property.
LEWISTON, Sept. 10th, 1873.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Constitution, 50
soon to be voted upon by the people of
Idaho, provides for the taxation of
church property. 1t is true that relig.
ious denominations own some very ex.
tonsIve tracks Of land within the limits
of this proposed new State. But would
it not be we'll for the people, who are to
cast this decisive ballot, to consider the
example of their predecessors, in regard
to taxing these monuments of depart.
ed Christ. lt has been the custom
from time immemoral to exempt monu-
monts commemorative of departed worth,
from taxation. The church is but a
monument to religion, and the grounds
that surround that church are like the
environs Of a tomb. IF these are a
just subject Of taxation, then tax them
all, tax the tombstone Of your fathers,
yes, enter upon the decayed remnant OF
mortality and render tribute from the
moulderlng dust. RECTOR.
[Rector's plea would Indicate that he
was opposed to taxation Of church prop
erty, any moro than VIC should tax GENE.
tries and tomb~stouos. At the same
time he admits that ''rclieious denomina
tons own some very extensive tracts of
land within the limits of the proposed
new State" There is this difference
between church property aud GENE
terry. The former is made source OF
profit to the holder and often it is rent
cd and farmed cut for gain, and tho
profits used in extending its limits far
beyond the necessities of the church.
and to the ivlividual enrichment of its
members aad attaches, and it becomes
like large landed estate of some de-
ceased person, whose annual profits arc
distributed among the heirs. It should
therefore by all means be made to aid
in the support of the government that
| affords it protection. Il is not so with
cemeteries. Six feet By two is allotted
as the resting place Of every person
where his body may rest undisturbod
A cemetery is nothing more than re-
serve OF greater or less number OF
these tracts sufficient to meet the wants
Of the dead. and furnish room for the
living to visit aud pay their respects to
the departed and find comparative soil.
tude at their graves. Cemeteries are
never farmed or rented out. No reve.
nue. is ever received from them by the
owners. nor are they put to the use aud
profit OF the living. The dead who in
habit the cemeteries have no earthly re
sources with which to pay taxes, and
the living public could only pay the
taxes by taxing the same public to raise
the means of payment, and then no ac.
tual revenue woald result. There then
was manifest propriety of exemptine
cemeteries, as does the new Constitu-
ton. But the same can in no sense be
said of church property, unless you
make all church property property oil
the State, and no one at the present day
is so foolhardy as to urge the union OF
church and State.

It Is very convenient for an or
chardist to be able to toll at any
time the number of trees or plants
required for an acre at any given
distance apart. There are two
ways of planting out an orchard
tho square and the quincunx. The
latter style is becoming very popu-
ular, and is adopted to the entire
exclusion of the old style in many
localities. The advantage Of this
system over the other, is that it
gives more trees to the acres with
out placing the trees nearer togeth-
er. In order to find the number of
trees or plants required to the acre,
at any given distance, multiply
the distance between the rows by
the distance between the trees, and
divide the number OF square feet in
an acre (43,560) by this product,
and the quotient will be the num-
Der of trees to the acre, by the
square system OF planting. If it is
desired to ascertain the number of
trees required by the quincunx sys-
tenn, at any given distance, take
the number required by the square
system, at the same distance, di-
vide it by z; add this quotient and
to the original number, and the
sum will be the number of trees re-
quired.
We give below table of the
more common distances, with num-
Der of trees TO the acre, by both sys-
