Population of Walla Walla, Columbia
and Whitman Counties.

Walla Walla county by the late GEN.
sus has $500 population, Columbia has
5,771, and Whitman has 1000. The
Indian troubles has also kept women and
children out of Whitman county, it be-
ing much moro exposed than either
Walla Walla or Columbia. There are
to-day full 5000 inhabitants belonging
to Whitman county, and if there be no
further Indian scares before the election
in November these three counties will
have nearly $4,000 population. Add
5000 tor the three northern counties of
Idaho and together we will have % 900.
The counties of Stevens, Klickitat and
Yakima east of the Cascades will swell
the number to near 10000. The coun-
ties west of the Cascades including those
bordering the Columbia river will have
not less than $4,000, making total of
10000 for the new State by the first of
next November. Should Congress delay
our admission as State till 1880, which
is very likely, we will then have full
100000 population at our present rate
of increase, which with our geographical
boundaries and immense natural resour.
ces and advantages, will make us
strong and influential State in the
Union, 'at least from 25 to so per cent

Capital and population will then flow to

These are facts as easy of demonstration

Improvement Of the Snake Riyen
The sum of $50. 900 was the adj

The sum of $4,000 was the appro-
9riation for this year made by Congress
for the improvement of navigation on
Snake river as far as Lewiston. Bids
for doing the work were received at
Portland up to the Goth inst. Several
bidders are competing for the work,
among them are the 0. s. N. Company,
who as We learn are determined to be
the lowest bidders, and it is confidently
expected that they will get the contract,
as their facilities and knowledge of the
obstacles to be removed from the chan.
mel are far better than those of the other
parties. We are told that they now in
anticipation Of having the contract, have
nearly completed two fiat boats to be
used in the work, which will be towed
up from Cello. IF they get this work,
We are credibly informed that they will
Immediately commence its prosecution
on five mile and Pine tree rapids, and
continue the same so long as the stage
of the water will permit or until all OF.
structions to navigation at the lowest
stage of the water are removed. II the
S20, 900 are insufficient they will con-
tinue the work at their own expense as
rapidly and with as much thoroughness
as possible, till Lewiston can be reached
by their boats at any stage Of water
when not obstructed by ice. In doing
this they will reimburse themselves in
one season by the freights extra, that
they can bring to different points on
the river. So that they in reality are
losers by waiting for further appropria-
tions from Congress for the completion
Of the work. If they can hereafter get
Congress to reimburse them, they will
have good thing, and in any event the
people who are tributary to Snake river
and dependant upon its navigation by
steamers for their goods and for the
shipment OF their produce, will have oc.
caslon to rejoice at the accomplishment
of this improvement of the river The
efforts and experience of the present
year have fully established the practi-
cabiiity OF good navigable water for
steamers all the year as far as Lewiston.
Capt. Stump has done much in making
up the belief, and he should be allowed
to receive reasonable share of the
benefit.

Indians Surprised at Elk City.

appears iEom Tue StatomeDt6 OF Mr.
Bell from Elk City, that when the few
White Bird Indians crossed the Bitter
Root in July last, they expected to take
that place by surprise, and had they
done SO, there is no telling what damage
they would have done. When many
miles east Of Elk City they left their
animals, and stealthily approached the
place by an unusual route and in the
night. At the outskirts they came to a
cabin occupied by chinamen early in
the morning, made them give them
some breakfast, and enquired of them
how many whites were in town, how
well they were armed and if they were
expected. To these questions the CHI
namen answered that the white mon
were mostly all out of town, that they
had but two or three guns and only one
OF the men knew how to use the guns,
and that the whites had no suspicion of
their coming. They then gave the CHI
namen five dollars and told them to tell
their countrymen that they would not
harm them, that they were after the
white men only. 1t however so happen
ed that white man who was ont early
had accidently seen them as they ap.
preached the town, and had slipped in
by another route and notified the whites
of their presence, and they to the num-
Der Of l6 or Is had assembled at their
log fort with each good needle gan
and plenty Of ammunition, and when
Mr.. Indian had got his breakfast and
advanced into the town expecting to
find it and the goods there were in it
an easy prey, they were completely sur
prised and stalled to hear a stalwart
voice sing out to them to advance no
further, and to see Is or Is bright rifles
pointed at them from behind the logs of
the little fort. Their sudden discretion
prompted them to quickly turn and fee,
leaving the Elk City party completely
masters Of the situation. OF course the
whites had then no intimation from the
chlnamen or from any other source
what Indians they were nor what their
intentions were. But natural instinct
told them that these Indians had no
business there aud hence their prompt
preparation for defence, which alone
saved them. 1t is only to be regretted
that they had not allowed them to ap.
proach nearer, and then opened fire up
on them and killed the whole party.
But as the whites themselves were but
few in number, and had no knowledge
Of the force of the Indians near them.
perhaps they were prudent in reserving
their fire and allowing them to escape.
They however now think that should
similar opportunity again occur, they
would fire one or two good rounds Just
for the fun of the matter, and take their
chances OF reinforcements coming to the
indians.

fou are Mistaken.

As yet we have seen only some por.
tions OF the constitution framed by the
convention which recently sat at lValla
WalIa; but some Of those portions which
we have seen are manilestly conceived
in spirit Of hostility to the successful
employment of capital for development
Of the new state. A community as new
as Washington, occupying, Or rather
lost, IN territory Of seventy thousand
square miles, which is as yet vast
wilderness and is in want of everything,
hardly needs just yet to take alarm
against the encroachmeuts of capital, or
to try to restrain it from seeking the
best Investments aud enterprises it can
find No railroad could ever be built
in Washington under the restrictions
proposed iu several parts of the consti-
tuition which is offered to the people.
Should Washington come in as & state
under a constitution which would thus
stliie all the efforts Of capital to obtain
profitable investment, Oregon would have
little to fear from the rivalry Of her
northern neishbor.-O Oregontan.
There is nothing in the Constitution
to be submitted that is inim;cal to the
legitimate employment of capital in the
new State. 1t simply aims to break
down the arrogance of capital over labor,
and give to every class of citizens fair
show.

Vote OF Washington Territory for Dele
gate TO Congress In 1876.

Total vote was 1904. Total vote
on question of calling Il convention was
1858. For convention was 5.724,
against convention was /, 534. About
four-scyenths of all the votes cast on,the
question of a convention, were cast for
the measure, and more than half of the
whole voting population asked for the
convention. This shows that the Legis.
lature Of Washington were fully instruc.
ted by vote of the people to provide
for convention to frame Constitution
That convention has met and accom-.
plished it's work, and the instrument it
framed is now before the people. Since
the vote calling for convention the
population Of Washington Territory
alone has increased full $4,000 and is
rapidly increasing. The argument that
the people did not want State Consti.
tuition is false. The objectors to the
measure exist among those who have
some private ak to grind.

Amended Timber Culture Act.


Last June, Congress amended the
timber culture act in several particulars.
Its requirements are far less stringent
than were those of the act of March,
1874. In the first place the number Of
acres to be seeded with timber instead
of being one fourth of the whole tract
entered, is only one-sixtecnth, save a
forty acre tract Or less. In the second
place instead of confniug the timber
culture entry to be confined to a partic-
ular quarter Of each section, there may
be several timber entries in section
provided pat in the aggregate they do
mot exceed the amount of 100 acres of
land in each section. But no one per.
son can make more than one timber en-
try. The time for planting is somewhat
changed, and when planting has been
done and the trees have died from
drouth or other causes, upon affidavit of
this fact further time of one year is
granted in which to replant. Instead
Of planting II feet apart, there must be
at least twenty.seven hundred trees
planted to each acre and proof must be
given of growing six hundred and seven
ty-fve thrifty trees per acre, or one
fourth of the whole number planted.
The trees must be of the class included
in the term timber. The cultivation of
shrubbery and fruit trees will not be
sufficient. The same time, eight years,
as under the former act is required to
perfect titles, save in certain exceptional
cases where the party will accept title
for a less quantity. Some other unlm-
portant amendments are made. The
act as now in force is really good one
and advantageous to the settler

An Indian Hero.

The Palouse Gazette contains an arti-
Gle purporting to give an account of a
little bit of romance Of Eagle Eye, a
young Indian whom the article desig-
mates as son OF 4 sister of Soltese, the
chief of the Ceur d Alenes. Eagle Eye
has become educated abroad and has
now returned to his tribe after having
visited all the principal cities east, in
cluding the National Capital. His
counsels ought to have much weight
with his tribe as no doubt they will
when he explains to them what he has
seen.
