Mt. IDAHO, July 9Th, 1880.

MT. IDAHO, July 9Th, 1880.
EDITOR TELLER The people of
the prairie are passing through anoth-
er Indian excitement, which has
caused most all of them who live any
distance from Mt. Idaho, Grangeville
and Camp Howard, to move to those
places for safety. In great many
instances the farmers have left their
fields, unenclosed and at themercy ofthe
stock. Should the excitement last
week or two longer their crops will be
a failure. Now this excitement is
caused first by the bitter experience
of the Nez Perce and the insufficient
military force in this section; for it is
well known that should the Indians
break out, that the force at Camp
Howard is not more than able to
guard the ammunition and instead of
being help to the citizens would have
to help guard, the camp; but even Us
small as the force is here at present,
the people have much more confidence
than they had in the Cavalry force
that was here during the war. The
citizens held meeting and employed
scouts, who win keep in the field
! for few days In my opinion the
time for danger is not yet arrived, but
as soon as the Lo 10 trail can be
crossed these Indians who are dissat.
isfed, will steal large bands Of horses
and the only way it can be prevented
will be by trustworthy men patrolins
the prairie between Kama and thu
settlements. The question will the,
arise as to whose duty is it to emplo,
and pay those scouts! A few hundred
dollars employed in trusty scouts
would save the people thousands o
dollars, and it is the only way thu
fears of the people can be allayed ant
their property protected from thes
eliss atisfed wards Of the government
One thing is certain if the people d
not have some protection the emigra
ton will he from, instead of to tn
prairie. Yours,
STAMPEDE.

Every little city and camp in North
crn Idaho has. been aroused with pa
triotic impulses and impel.ed by u
great fervor to celebrate the natal day,
the Anniversary of. American indie
pendance Oratory has been in high
rcpute and long and loud has been the

tinent, at seast those in North Idaho,
have not been backward in expressing
their veiws and pronouncing them
selves the owners of ranches incompar-
able richness with any other lands on
the face Of the earth. And we think
their echo of this truth might be rever.
herated by the millions who inhabit
