MOSES MAD.

Moses is mad. A council was held on
Thursday night, on board the steamer
Northwest with the Indians lately returned
from Washington, General Howard, and
Gov. Ferry. While at the capitol, Moses
marked out himself the reservation he
wanted on the map, the deeds were drawn
up, signed by him and witnessed by Major
Boyle. Mclean the interpreter also says
that he agreed in every particular to ac-
cept the reservation laid off for him
between the Okanagan river on the East,
and the Cascade Mountains on tho West,
Moses now claims that the whole ColvIlle
reservation is what he wanted and was
given to him Secretary Schurz has
been telegraphed to for Instructions; in
the meantime the whole party will pro-
ceed to the Kittitass valley, and wait a
reply. Altogether it looks as though the
whole affair had been fearfully muddled
and mixed up. How this matter will
eventually end, no one can forsee, but at
any rate it is another blunder to be added
to the long roll of Indian mismanagement,
for which orr frontier annually receives a
baptism Of fire and blood.

xosxs AND HIS RESERVATION.

The Register and Receiver of the Land
Office received the following circular in re-
gard to the reservation which, as will be
seen elsewhere, Moses greatly objects to:

Tucson and Los Angeles.

There is no substantial reason
why Los Angeles should not be in
a large degree the base Of supplies
for Tucson in particular and South
ern Arizona generally-especIally
SO in the matter of fruit, bacon,
flour and vegetables, all of which
can be produced and shipped to
Tucson at q much less cost than
they can be produced in the terri
tory. Mining is to be the principal
industry of Pima county. The pro.
duction OF fruit, vegetables, bacon
and grain can never be anything
equal to the consumption. We
must draw from the outside for
these necessaries. Los Angeles is
450 miles nearer than San Fran
cisco, which gives it the advan-
tage. Produce ought to be as
cheap there as in San Francisco,
which should give the former
place large percentage in its favor
in the shipment of these products.
A considerable trade has already
been opened with Los Angeles,
which is daily increasing. Our
people are feeling its benefits, and
propose to push the trade to its
limit. Anything and everything
that can be produced by Southern
California and shipped to this
point cheaper and better than can
be produced here will find ready
market.
Then general merchandise, furni-
ture, hardware, most of which Los
Angeles receives by water, ought
to be laid down in Tucson by rail
from that point at more reasonable
rates than it can be shipped over
the continent. Land travel can
never compete with water.
We would like to see cooperation
between Los Angeles and Tucson
merchants, especially in the distri-
button of farm produce. - Tucson

almost a failure. Almonds aud
