Standing Up Braveiy Against the Indians. Al.
though Greatly Ortnumbered.
DENVER, Colo, June 2o.-The Dolores
Neios OF June % corroborates the previous
accounts Of the Indian fight, with the follow
ing exceptions: " The number. Of whites
engaged in the fight In Grand Valley was
eighteen. On the first day ]. III. Eskridge,
James Hall and David Willis were cut Off
and surrounded by Indians, whom they
fought hand TO hand, although outnumbered
fifteen 10 three. Willis was killed aud Hall
was seriously wounded. Eskridse's SCALP
was covered with wounds, caused by bullets
which grazed his head. His hat was riddled
with bullets and he was shot In the ankle,
which will have 70 be amputated. Eight of
the eigteen whites were missing on the eve
ming Of the first day. One of them, named
Jordan, was wounded. The other seven
were probably killed, although they may
have escaped TO the Mormon fort In the
Grand Valley. The names OF the missing
men are Jack Galloway, III. III. Melvin, Thos.
ely, y. G. Taylor and two Tar brothers and
an unknown young man. When ID. G. Tay-
Tor, our Informant, started for Rico, the In
dams had received reinforcehents and had
several hundred warriors on the field. A
battalion Of Ito men leavef Rico to-day with
the avowed determination of rescuing the
survivors and Avenging the deaths of those
who were killed or falling where they fell.
Lieutenant William May, displeased n the
action taken, LETT the main party with his
squad, and his whereabouts Is not known.
Horses, guns and ammunition are scarce, but
the neighboring towns will aid Rico.

WASHINGTON dispatch of the 9TH says
that during the intense heat Of the day the
Presidents condition grew more unfavorable,
and that "nmid the terrible suspense the
calmest two persoI.s In the room, and those
OF the most heroic courage, were the Presi-
dent and his noble wife. Last night for a
moment Blaine, the strongest man in will
power Of all the members of the Cabinet
who have been put TO the severest test In
this struggle, for a single instant at the
Presidents bed'side gave way to his feelings.
The President kindly chided him, and said :
My dear fellow, 1t II Is not time for that
yet" There are evidently few men who
would have survived the shot the Presiden.
received.

ST. PAUL Pioneer Press correspondent
thus enthusiastically describes the Red River
Valley as being 225 miles east and west by
300 miles north and south. II contains, ap-
proximately, 67,5OO square miles, or $780,
100000 acres Of land, over 30 per cent. of
which acreage comprises the finest farming
land for the production of cereals and stock
raising In the world. Wheat, corn, oats, rye,
barley and fax are raised in abundant guam
titles, and with less labor than In the older
States and Territories. Fargo Is city of
3,7oo population, doing business of ST.
1851 annually, and Increasing at the rate
of 100 per cent. A single steamer of Red
River carried 15,20e,550 pounds of freight
last season. The great Northwestern region
IL looming up grandly. The vastness and
greatness Of our country are partially re-
yealed in the achievements at points SO wide
apart as the Red River OF the North and the
Red River and Rio Grande at the south, both
regions In which few people hal any interest
twenty years ago. Now they are scenes of
rapid railroad building and rising towns Of
extensive commerce.

AN exchange says the farmers of this
Western country will in time learn the yalu-
able lesson that successful cultivation lies
less In the number of acres worked than In
the tkproughness and care given. The same
paper quotes from an Eastern journal as fol-
lows: "Geo. w. Balloek, who has a farm
OF 4b acres In Long Island, raised last year
1900 quarts Of strawberries, 1890 bushels
of onions, 5000 bushels of potatoes, 173
bushels Of wheat, 100 bushels of corn, $4,000
cucumbers, $500 bushels of Brussels sprouts,
$500 bushels Of turnlps, 1000 bushels of
carrots and 1000 cabbages."

Shall the Worlds Fair Succeed.
EDIroRIAI- CORRESPONDENTS.

WAsHINGToN. Feb. 2l.-It is
encouraging to note the increas-
iRg interest In the New York
Worlds Fair Of 1883. But there
is vet ample room for continued
increase. As yet the general pub
lie seems hardly aware that such
an exposition is to be held. There
is palpable indifference on the sub
ject among the masses. But II
does not require many months to
get up an excitement in this coun-
trv on a matter that concerns the
people. And if this business Is en-
ergetically and sagaciouslyworked,
popular enthusiasm will be aroused
IN time to insure the success Of
the enterprise. A resolution has
passed congress, inviting foreign
nations TO participate in the great
exhibition. How far this action
will be held as committing the
government to afford material aid,
we are not advised. IL is best to
have no misunderstanding on this
point. If the government invites
foreign powers to take part in this
great show, and does not expressly
disclaim responsibility for il, we
shall soon have the claim set up,
as it was in relation TO the Phila-
delphia exhibition, that the au
thorities of the United States have
committed the government to the
extent of voting money enough to
prevent a possible failure. All
the states ought to be represented,
each having a building and max
ing a display of its products. This
would lead TO such rivalry as would
add greatly TO the number and at
tractivepess of exhibits. There
cannot be. too much OF sectional
jealousy and state pride on such
an occasion, for this feeling makes
each state and section do It's best.
But such jealousy of New York,
our great commercial emporium,
a. would induce other cities TO
give the exhibition cold shoulder,
is TOO narrow spirit for patient
tolerance. New York is the
proper place for 4 Worlds Fair, if
We are To have one. And the true
policy of all the states, cities and
people is to get up an interest ia
it as soon as possible and resolve
TO astonish the millions who will
visit Gotham in the summer of
1883. %. C.I.
