TIE WHEAT CROP.

Since harvest has commenced, il be,
comes apparent that the wheat crop OF
Northern idaho and of Washington ter.
rtory bordering on the Idaho hue is very
large, and if the market price for whea.
was IN proportioa to the yield this year.
our farmers would be able to liquida,e
nearly all their debts; But the outlook
for good market price is dim, and the
IN ans OF transportation to market are
SOW and limited Hence, in case of
sudden advance in the price of wheat our
farmers cannot take advantage Of i, by
ready shipments to market, unless they
ship before the rise and store the same a,

JAMES REUBEN AGAIN.

The Walla Walla Statesman quotes a
part of Reubcn's Letter published in the
TELLER, aud rronounces him a very
brave man, and attempts his defense by
'ndeayoring to prove an aliJi from hi,
'wn personal knowledge. In doing thi,
he says son the nigh. of the 3rl Of
July after various adventures, we found
oursef on the banks of Salmon river,
1t Craig's old ferry. We volunteered to
take dispatch from Col Perry to Con.
Howard. Perry was surrounded at Cot.
'onwood by the hostilcs, and the dispatch
vas to the effect to hold cut for Howard
would be there next day" Now, this is
al wrong. Perry was not surrounded at
Cottonwood by hostiles at that time nor
did Perry send any dispatch to How. I'd
stating that he was surrounded, or thai,
he had any knowledge Of the Indians in
his vicinity.
The Statesman speaks of there ap-
pearing on the other sid, of the river
two or three Indians who made friendly
signs, and th,t the Indians crossed. and
one Of them proved to be James Reuben,
who hid brou hit dispatches from Fort
Lapwai to the General. Howard read
them and Immediately wrota ont other
and ordered him to return.
We were to accompany him to tn,
top of the mountain He was to take Il
trail to Fort Lapwai, while We wer,
to 90 on to Cottonwood, as per previous
arrangements. He thN mentions the
difficulty they had in crossing the river.
and that he was unable to cross, while
Reuben took both dispatches and made
he rifle This all occurred in tn
night of the 3rd H. says that Reuben
delivered both dispatch safely H.
'urther states tina, the Indians h ii killed
Rains, Foster and thirteen soldiers on
hat same morning.
The facts are that Rains was Killed late
n the afternoon, with his whole party |
IN the morning Of the 3rd, Foster,

THC POTLATCH ROAD

s J. Whitconb informs us they held
mex tings on American and Fix Ridges
and Big Potlat:h on the subject of the
rad up tn Ri. Po,lqtch in which there
was considerable enthusiasm The peo-
pie say at present that they have no
money, but they have very large CROPS Of
wheat, portion of which they are will
ins to hyro,heeate towards the construc
ton Of the road A committee Of one
from each Of the three places named was
appointed to make arrangements for the
disposition Of this wheat for money to
build the road. This committee consists
Of +. Fix, $. J. Whitcomb, William
Edmonson, who have resolved to propose
to the settlers that each Of them give a
note fer the amount Of wheat they are
wiling to contribute, said wheat to be de.
hvcred at point named on or before
a time named in said notes They in.
tend to hypo'hecate the notes and rails
the money to pay the expenses of con
S'rnction Of the road. II the road b..
built, this wheat will be much mere Val.
liable than it would otherwise be. becaus-
it can reach a bett market.
). j. Whitcomb has been appointed by
the committee to canvass for these notes,
and will Immediately enter upon that
business. We think that under the cir
cumstances of the scarcity of money tn
people have adopted good plan for they
had better hypothcca,c one-fourlh Of
their crop and open II thorou h are for
taking the balances to market than to re-
main pent up as they now are. We hoJe
the plan will be successful.
