THE CKTNDIAN WAR

For several months the Bannacks have
been in very restless condition and at last
they have broken out in open warfare on
the whites. The reason of this is generally
stated as the dishonesty Of their Agent;
but however this may be. the real cause OF
the uprising will be very likely found in
the fact that the last appropriation made
for them was entirely insufficient. ana for
some time they have been at the point of
starvation. Gen. Crook personally inves-
tisated the matter last Fall and reported
their condition to be deplol:ible. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, IIayt,

I am glad to see that you hold your ground
with regard to water routes. III little time the public

Of our ability to sell to the world what we raise

ever have raised. War may, Tor tmc make call for
our grain but must not count upon war which may
not take place and which, IN any event VIII soon be

those who raise grain In Europef We can. If does not
