4 yerri le scene.

The Valley of Death, almost as
 terrible as the prophets valley ol
 dry bones, lies just north of the old
 Mormon road to California, in Utah,
 regIon thirty miles long and thirty
 broad, and surrounded. except at two
 points, by inaccessible mountains.
 It is totally devoid of water and ve-
 getaIon, and the shadow of bird or
 wild boast never darkens its white, glaring sands. The Kansas-P Pacific engineers discovered it and some papers which show the fate Of the lost Moatg ,mery train, which came south ;n 1850 guided by Mormon.
 When near Death Valley some came to the conclusion that the Mormon knew notIing about the country, SO they apr rointcd one of their Eumber a leader and broke away from the party. The leader turned due west and desc ndcl into the broad valley whose mirage promised water They reached the center, but only the white sand, bounded by scorching peaks met their gaze And around the valley they wandered, and one by one stretched themselves in death under the hot sun Then the children, crying for water, died at their mothera' breasts, and with swollen tongues and burnin z vitals ihe mothers foliowe !. Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and strong men ravcd and to:tered and died After a weeks wandering Q dozen survivors found some water ;n the hollow of mountain. IL lasted but g short time, when all perished but t"o, who e copel out of the valley and followed the trail of their for mer companions. E ighty-seven families, with hundreds of animals, pcrished, and now after twenty-two years, the wagoas still stand com plete, the iron work and tires still shine bright, and the shriveled skeletons lie side by side.-Miner.

commanding the department n which these Indians are located should be man of tact, bravery and experience. Such man is Crook. Such man is not Howard. Howard is brave
 enough and has had some exper- fence, but he lacks tact, and he al ways failed in frontier work. The
 Department of Arizona got into trouble through Towards treaty of peace with the Apache Chief Ga ch ise. The treaty brought tenn porary cessation of hostilitics, but it's final results were frightful. IL simply increased the opportunities of the savages for murderlng and plundering settlers and travellers. It's evil eff, cts are felt in Arizcna, New Mexico and Mexico to this day. That is one sample of How ards work His next Indian cx- perience was in the Department of the Columbia. The Indians were quiet wLen he assumed command of lhe-department and the settlers had no complaints to make. But tefore Howard was removed the Neg Perces, up to tLat time lhe most peaceful Indians in America, revolt ed and brought on bloody war, and the Bannocxs also broke out Howard was unsuccessful in dealing with these IndIans-both in peace and in War. And now lie is to sue ceed Crook in the Department of tue Platte. If there is not serious trouble among the Indians in the Platte region inside of twelve months the Daily Report will admit that Howard has learneI something by experit nee.

In assuming control of the HERALD We wish to extend our sincere thanks to its pat rons, who have so staunchly stood by 1t through the long interim of absent proprietors. It is our hope to restore the HERALD to at least its former status in the Territory, to make 1t worthy of the conf dence and support which its patrons have so steadily given 1t, ard to extend it's patronage indefinitely.
 The politics of the HERALD will continue to be firmly and consistently Republican, but not in the sense of being blindly partisan. We desire that our relations with the printing fraternity in the Yer ritory and elsewhere may al- ways be pleasant. Uith these hopes the new editor and man. ager makes his bow to the pat rons and brothers of the local | and Territorial press.

If you see man walking with his head thrown back, and looking up toward the stars, you can make up your mind that be thinks more Of him. self than he does of anybody else. If you see 2 man with one eve smaller than rhe o:her, ncrci irusl him, he is 3ad man. If you are q light complexioned man, marry i dark complexioncd woman, and vice versa.

A Better Day.

When my dead roses bloom once more,
And these dark daisy-leaves with stars
OF white are powdered DER and Ger,
And through you rusty lattice bars
The iassamine thrusts its yellow tips,
And the bright pansy pranks it head,
And the tall lily's pallid lips
Part slowly, and from green to red
The beaded grapes begin to turn,
And round the outskirts Of the lawn
The woodbine blossoms family burn
All then, perhaps, on me may dawn
The morning Of better day:
And this sad heart Its woeful hue
May reverently put away,
And deck itself with something new.

LAND LAWS.

Washington

Washington.
SDecfulto 20 WeStern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Jantary 2O.-The resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Blair, Wednes-
day, directing the Public Lands Committee
to inquire into the operation OF the land
laws and report any legislation tending to
improve them, is intended by its author
to cover the matter of land grants to rail-
roads. 1t also includes, among others, the
Northern Pacific grant, and the decision OF
Secretary Schurz. which affirmed to that
company the right to the land granted it
after the time specified by the grants had
expired.
Blair is 4 member of the subcommittee
on Public Lands, which has been inquir-
ing into the workings of the General Land
Office here. and the necessity for giving it
more room. In the course Of its inquiry,
the subcommittee obtained information
which leads them to believe that some OF
the laws are defective, and that some Of
the land granted 10 railroads has been for
feiIed end now properly belongs TO the
government The Blair resolution was to
enlarge the scope OF the inquiry. so as to
include matters pertaining to the public
lands and the distribution Of them.
Brcntz, delegate from Washington Terri
tory, has Just put in bill and got it refer
rcd 10 q subcommittee of the House Com
mittcc on Territories, for the admission in
to the Union of the State OF Washington,
10 be composed Of Washington Territory
and three counties of Idaho. AinsliG, del
egatc from Idaho, is fighting the bill be-
cause il takes part OF his Territory, and
he is backed by other territorial repre-
ScntativeS. who don't like the precedent
this bill would establish They fear,
should this bill pass, other Territories
wanting to become States might endeayor
10 capture portions of adjoining Terrific
ries in order to increase their population.
Hence a determined fight will be made
against the Brentz bill, which has been re-
fCrred to the subcommittee consisting of
MesSrS. Aldrich, NanNOOrheS and Richard
sou, two Republicans and one Democrat.
The Republicans are deSirous of getting
part of Dakota admitted rs a State, and
therefore it is not likely that they will en-
barrass that movement by taking up the
application of Washington Territory to
become 4 State.
