NARROW YET HOW LONG.

Moscow blows about the great mag
nitude Of Nez Perez county as if it
we're an Empire, when in fact it will
require another Enabling Act of the
honest (D legislature to make foot
path to get from one portion Of the
county to another without going out of
the Territory. All long and no wide
is not what the peop'e of Nez PIERCE
county want, and the majority prefer
to let matters rest as they are until
they can be annexed to this Territory.
--Boomerang.
Bro. Circuit, You have hit the nail
on the had. If we understand the
sentiment Of the great majority Of the
people of Nez PIERCE county, they pre-
fer to abide the chances Of annexation
when width can be added to the boun
daries of the county aud then make a
division and fix county seats that will
suit the great majority. But the schem-
ers Of Moscow are we'll apprised that
they will have no just claims to coun-
ty scat when annexation takes place
and hence they press their claims now
regardless of the best interests of a
majority of the people. The appear
ances indicate strongly that the Mos
COW members of the Legislature, were
fearful that annexation would take
place, and hence managed to defeat the
annexation memorial in relation to
which they professed to the people they
were determined to secure at all haz
ards, and pressed the county seat re-
location bill, without any instruction
from the great body of their constitu-
ents, and even as we think in violation
of their will.

TIE NEE PERCES.

A statement is going the rounds to
the effect that President Arthur has
sent message to Congress recomMend-
ing tina; certain Of the Neg Perez In.
dians be allowed to take each 100 acres
Of l1ud. We have seen no letters or
di. patches to that effect. In ccnsulta-
ii m with Agent Monteth we learn
that several of the Indians had fenced
in larger tracts than 20 acres s,ne a.
high as 10 or so acres, and that this
coming to the ears of the department
the Latter had Instructed Mon;eith to
enforce the treaty and restrict each In
dian to his 20 acres. Monteith replied
that he was MT prepared to 10 this,
unless ha con.d ave the whole depart
ment of the G., 'umbia to back hir,
that such attempt would produce hos
tility OF 4 serious nature and he sug
rested that the Indians be allowed to
select and hold and improve larger
tracts than % acres, if they desired so to
do. To his the department replied
coun :ermanlling the order to restrict
to 90 acres, and the commissioner in
his report to he Secretary OF the Inter
Tor recommends that the treaty he s.,
modified that each adult male Indian
be allowed to take up his 100 acres,
and If there be any truth in the report
about the Pr sident's recommendation
to Congress, the infer nee is that it is
in pursuance of this eNommendst on
Of the Commissioner. If Congress acts
wisely upon thi. it will be of great i'm,
portance to the welfare of the Nez
Perces and make the location Of these
Indians upon lands in severalty easy,
and give ea-ly prospect Of throwing
open the residue of this great body of
land to settlement, in some form. by
the whites.

THE 6HORT LINE,

Mr.. Brown, Of the Brovnles ferry,
writes US under date Of Jan. 10th, that
the Oregon Short Line surveyors have
passed down the river. Thus far they
report the route favorable. The en-
cineer in charge thinks there Is no
doubt but that the railroad will run
down Snake riverto Lewiston. Grand
Ronde Post.
Our Lewiston people have been fiat
tered SO many times with prospects of
railroad and been disappointed that
large portion of them have become
incredulous in reference to any prom
Uses. But they must rest assured that
these promises that have failed wer,
never mads by the Oregon Short Line
nor by any one in their interest. The
managers Of the Oregon Short Line
have never bowed er promised much,
before they were ready to act, aud when
they were ready they have prosecuted
their plans with continuous vigor. AS
we said in former number we appre
bend that a railroad will connect II.
with the East as socn as our psopl,
are ready to profit hy the advantag
such railroad viii offer to Us.

THE PROGRESS OF THE o. S L.
SURVEYORS UP THE SNAKE
RIVER

Mr.. Cooper was detailed from the
party and reached Lewiston on Tues.
day, and deposited maps and other
mail matter in the prstofice and receiv-
ed mail for the party and returned the
same day, The survey has reached a
poin, about 2G miles above this point.
From n private note written by one of
tie party and dated Camp No 9, T..
p. Il. II. Co.'S, 0. S. L. Survey, Feb. 8,
1885, We learn the following facs:
The party is progressing finely con>id-
ering the intensely cold weather. They
had hard time at Buffalo rock and at
Captain Johns creek on account of i'm
mense ice gorges. Tom Worden froze
enc Of his fingers, yet all were in good
heart. The grades are light, the max
imum twenty feet and the average
grade from Lewiston up, 81 feet per
mi!e We understand that camp No.
0 referred to is nearly opposite the
mouth of the Grand Ronde river while
the survey has been extended about 8
miles above that point.
Mes-rs. Moscrip, Edwards and Wor-
den, of the o. S l.. survey, came in
town yesterday. They report that on
Monday, the day after Cooper left camp
in towing one Of their soats over the
Grand Ronde rapids, in passing around
an ice bound rock, the at got an ad-
vantage of the men on the rope and
dragged them on the ice about IS feet
to near the water when to save them
selves from being dragged into the tor
relt they were obliged to let 90. The
boat rode the rapids quite well for
time when the long rope became in
tangled among the rocks at the bottom
of the stream and capsized the boat
and all supplies that would sink We're
lost and the balance became wet. A
tent, blankets, clothing, cooking uten-
sis and much other property was lost
among which was the tripod to their
ransit. The boat was afterwards re
covered The loss of this tripod has
caused delay till they can get another
or another transit. There is one in
town which, if in fit condition
they will secure and reit themselves
with supplies and go on their way re-
joicing. The party are all in good
health although they have encountered
much cold weather and had to make
portages of nearly two miles in extent
and take their boats across and about
1000 weight.

DrROR CORRECTED.

1t is alleged that the Interior De-
partment's decision in the case of
Phelps vs. the N. p. r. R.Co. has been
reisconstru,d; that it was therein held
that lands withdrawn oy the railroad
under their grants are open for settle
ment any time before fling map Of
definite location. The portion that
seems to have caused misconception is
said to have been the mere restoration
of the well known decision tina. such
Withdrawals could not include private
locati ms made before the preliminary
Withdrawal. - |Fashiagtoa telegram.

CASCADE ROADS.

Judge Lewis says: "If the North
ern Pacific builds through stampede
or Green River pass, which l under
stand the company have practically
adopted, the road will bear southwark,
following the Green river canyon while
the Seattle, Walla Walla and Baker
City line will tend northvard, in the
direction of the Snoqualmie.- Yakima
Signal"
In Wizards annual report he says
"Twenty-one passes have been exam
ined. The result is that the Stampede
pass at the head of Sunday creek. o
branch of Green river, is shown to be
the best for crossing. 1t is nearly due
east from Tacoma, and can be crossed
by tunnel 5000 feet long at an ele
vaion of e,ss5 feet above the sec
level"

THE COMING ROAD,

The telegram following corroborates
previous reports:
LEWISTON, Jan l9.--The Oregon
Short Line has abandoned the Burnt
river canyon and turned their course
down the canyon of Snake river to
Lewiston, and have already located
so miles between here and the mouth
of Burnt river. The chief OF the loca-
ten party is here. He started com
pany OF surveyors yesterday from this
point to locate up this side of Snake to
meet the party coming down the river.
The destination is Puget Sound, by
one Of the passes Of the Cascades.
We may look for the surveyors along
this way before summer opens, and it
will not be surprising if this company
is the first to scale the Cascade noun
tains. 1t is coming this way at the
rateof several miles week. In a direct
line Lewiston is only 265 miles distant,
and by feasible route less than 500.
The cars will be leaving Seattle, the
western terminus of the Short Line,
in the summer of 1884 for Lewiston
and points in Idaho and Wyoming,
and on by the Union Pacific to the
Mississippi ley.-Post- Mtelliqencer.

Tho engineers oil the Oregon Short
Line are reported as essaying passage
from Weiser City down Snake river to
Lewiston, and thence to Puget Sound,
so abandoning the Baker City rouet.
They will not find passage through.
Portland Christian Adrocate.
The concluding sentence in the fore
going is Portland all over, though we
had no idea it would find expression in
a religious paper like the AdUocate.
Amy railroad or any trade that wants
to find its way to Port a d will have no
trouble in doing so, but if the aim is to
reach Puget Sound it cannot be done.
They'll learn different story, though,
one of these days, and perhaps the
Oregon Short Line will teach il to them.

SMALLPOX.

For O week or ten days we have
heard ramors of smallpox in the
country adjoining Iatt Lake, but mp
to last Sunday could get no anthem
tic account of its extent. 1t is now
certainty that this terrible disease
has firm hold in eight or ten farai-
lies, embracing an extent Of about
ten miles of territory along both
sides of Lake Iatt. The majority of
the cases are on the west side Of the
lake, bat two or three cases being re-
ported from the east side thus far.
1t is supposed that there are in all
in the neighborhood of thirty cases,
but we are fain to believe that the
number is exaggerated. As far as
we have been able to learn there
have been four deaths, namely, r. 0
Kelly, VIM. Fletcher, and two of the
Hurley boys.
The facts are distressing enough.
and we hope our citizens will guard
against creating unnecessary alarm
through exaggeration. Our police
jury held called session last Tues
day, to provide measures of relief for
the sufferers and prevent further
spread of the disease. A board of
health has been organized, which
proceeded at once upon its duties.
The proceedings of the police jury
and board of health will be found in
another column.
Particular attention is called to
the recommendation of the board of
health, that no public gatherings be
held as long as the epidemic contin-
ues. Vaccination and thorough bodi-
ly cleanliness are the only sure pre-
ventives. Those desiring to be vac
cinated should apply to members Of
the board of health. Do as little
travelling around as you can, and
keep away from all stragglers. The
disease is said to have been brought
into the Fletcher family by negro
tramp, who came from the district
in Natchitoches parish lately infected
with smallpox.
Two cases are said to exist in the
lower edge Of VIM parish. Most
OF the cases are said to be of mild
varioloid type, while others are of
most violent type.
Subscriptions in money have been
raised in Montgomery and Colfak for
the sufferers, and we hope many 9TH
.er of our citizens will contribute.
Montgomery raised SIS and Colfax
s$54, and hold themselves ready to
contribute more if called upon. The
