The New Commander.

Gen. Nelson 4. Miles, who is to
succeed Brigadier General o. o.
Howard in command of the de-
partnent of Columbia, Is compli-
mented as follows by the Bismarck
Tribune. "The Northwest loses
in the person of Miles one Of Its
truest friends. His interview at
St. Paul shows that he never neg
Iects an opportunity to speak
kindly of the people of the North
west-of its people and Its pros
poets. Because this Is So, 1t Is
possible that being called 10 "A
higher station he may be able TO
do us more good than he could
have done by remaining. Croak-
ers NAV saw what they will, the
Indian troubles are practically
ended. 1t only needs common
sense in management, and Justice
in treatment, To end forever the
Indian troubles of the United
States, and Gen. Miles deserves
much credit for the long strides
made by eur government to-
ward the point where this hope
NAV be realized. Give the Indian
something to live for, and punish
him certainly and severely for his
crimes, and his thoughts will turn
from war to home aud family.
There are ne people Oh earth more
warmly attached to home and
friends than the Indians, and none
have greater pride in their posses
siOns. Gen. Miles has taught them
TO respect the government; urged
them to learn to labor, and en-
couraged them to break their tribal
RELATIONSHIP be men; to become
citizens. With little force and
great kindness he accomplished far
more than has heretofore been
gained at the sacrifice of thousands
of lives and millions of treasure,
and he leaves this district with the
love and respect of every man in
it. They will watch his course in
the future with interest and pride.

The telegraph dispatch to the
effect that letters and newspapers
are received in the city of Mexico
from San Francisco in six days,
If directed "via Galveston, Texas,
and the Morgan line," would seem
to be progression. 1t is state
nent made by an American living
in the city of Mexico, and we take
it for granted as being a fact.
The announcement seemed to
"knOck the ground from under US, "
so to speak, says the Alta, bring
ing us within less than a week of
the Halls of Nontezumas. And
here we have been living so near
to our next neighbor, vet being in
the matter of receiving or sending
news, farther away than the peo-
pie of Europe, the Germans, Eng
lish and French, who have been
allowed to secure nearly all the
trade of that country, which nat
urally belonged to our own ner-
chants and traders, or should have
done so. When such oversight
and obliviousness of what should
have been patent to every trader
and merchant, is considered, this
country may well feel gratified
that some of our railroad magnates
and capitalists have started out in
dead earnest to unite the two na'
tions by lines of steel rails, which
we hope will also serve as cement
ing links in the chain of inter
national friendship aud mutua
benefit.

Gen. AndersOns Trip.

Concerning the recent trip of
Gen. Anderson, chief engineer of
the Northern Pacific, from Glen
dive, in eastern Montana, to Spo-
kane falls, a buckbOard journey of
500 or more miles, a Montana cor
respondent Of the Pioneer Press
says:
There was nothing notable in
Anderson's trip until he reached
the Rockies west of Helena.
There he found a new pass
Priests, recently discovered. 1t
has great advantages over the cid
Deer lodge pass, and will probably
save the company many miles Of
the costliest railroad building. In
western Montana, Anderson had TO
abandon his blackboard and mount
a pony, accompanied by guide
on another pony, with one hundred
pounds of flour. bacon, and pair
al blankets each for their spring
mattresses, for a couple of weeks.
The veteran engineer. without es-
cort, explored The divisions of the
Northern Pacific. He safely seal
ed all obstacles, found a feasible
route, met the boys working on
the Pen dOrielle division, and
passed down the Columbia river to
Portland. He started from Port
land last week for San Francisco,
and hence by rail across the con-
tinent. The discovery of Priests
pass is of great commercial value
to Helena, as it brings the North
ern Pacific and its interests to the
Denver of the northwest.

Carlyle lent the manuscript OF his
history of the French revolution to a
friend, through whose negligence a
servant used it for kindlng a fire.
He says that for three days and nights
he could not sleep, but was like man
daft. Then he went into the country
and for three months did nothing but
read Marryats novels. Then, he says,
81 set to and wrote it all over again
but dinna think it's the same; no,
dinna think it's the same"

when you drive a nail into a
wall, clothes press or closet, to hang
things on, drive it through a spool up
to the head. Select a spool large
enough, SO that the nail will not split
it." This is the sage advice gwen by
an exchange. Now just imagine a
woman on a three-legged stool, spOol
in one hand, hammer in the other, and
a nail in her mouth. One or the other
must ''go to the wall, and the chances
are it will be the woman.

From the almost daily reports of
robberies occurring in the small towns
Of the valley, and other sections, it is
evident that there is an organized
gang of thieves working the country,
and residents of the different places
should keep a vigilant guard over
their premises. The recent rObberies
at Oregon city and Scio, and the at
tempt to rob the safe of hotel at
Vancouver, is doubtless the work oi
