Change.

AS one goes out few miles from
Lewiston into the country, after few
months stay in the city, the great
changes in agricultural improve
ments are apparent on every
side. New houses can be seen on ev-
cry hand and miles of good .Substan-
tial fences check the green prairie.
But few months ago, Waha Prairie
was comparatively unoccupied, the in
dications of such occupancy being y
cabin here and there many miles apart
with probably a ten or forty acre
patch enclosed with fence but to-
day, the old trails and roads are cross
ed by miles of fences and long lanes
guide the traveller from one end of the
prairie to the other. Every indica-
tion, adjacent to Lewiston, in farm
improvements, is indicative of thrift,
and wealth. AS all the land extend
ing out and bordering on Lewiston
is being rapidly improved and cultiva
ted, the stock men, those with very
lorge bands are turning their attention
to other parts of the country where
better facilities for pasturage can he
had, while those WHO have smaller
bands of horses and cattle have pro
vided large fields, from forty to on,
hundred and sixty acres for raising
hay and pasturing their herds. 81

Letter from Mt. Idaho.

MT. IDAHO, July 9TH, 1880.
Arrived here this. morning at half
past s. In crossing the prairie met
several parties repairing to their homes
apparently satisfied that the scare
was over, Crooks was here to-day
and tells me that yesterday he made a
circuit around the prairie and found
that none of his stock had been mo-
Tested, and that many Indian horses
were running in their usual places. and
no signs that any outbreak was con,
templated. In response to letter
addressed to agent Warner at Lapwai
by committee of the citizens, he
writes on the 9th saying that he was
at Kamia on Saturday and Sunday, and
that he consulted several of the rep
resentative men among the Indians at
Kama who assured him that no out
break was contemplated by the Kan
las, and that only six Umatillas, one
buck and five Spokan women were
there and they came on friendly visit
to the Kamias. That returned to Lap
wal and arrived there on Monday
morning, and he expressed to the com
mittee the fullest assurance that there
was no cause for alarm among the set
tiers, that he was using all due vigil
lance to ascertain the movements of
the Indians within his jurisdiction,
and that upon the first development
of any hostile intent he would duly
notify the settlers. 1t isnow reported
by Indians that some of the Umatil.as
and some Kammias will assemble in .
day or two on the meadows below the
board house on Craig's mountain, but
for what purpose is not known. But
there is COON reason for believing that
it is for 40 hostile purposes. L
