week, coming by way of the North Pacific
to Colfsxthence to Lewiston by private CO n
veyance. Mr.. Wall left home las, July wit h
band of horses. He crossed the Lo Lo
Trail; was II days in making the tripto Mis-
soula, owing to the immense quantity of
fallen timber, which obstru tied the trail
He proceeded with his animals to the tad
lands in Dakota, about 200 miles east OF
Miles City. in the vicinity of which place
thousands of cattle are herded, to be ulti-
mately taken to the Chicago market. After
remaining their few weeks be succeeded
in finding buyer for his horses at $40 per
head for band Of los. They were mostly
half-bree1 horses and not very large. This
is the class which finds the best sale in that
section, as they are principally used for sad
die horses in herding cattle. He says that
large work horses aud fine blooded horses
have hut very limited sale in that section.
At Miles City. the business is principally
done with ranchers and stock men, there
bling but very little agricultural land in the
vicinity. lie says that when he left about
the 25th OF Nov, it was excessively cold IN
that region One night the Thermometer
went down $50 below zero; and high winds
which sometimes are called billiards. were
very frequent He saw TO country on the
trip that was as inviting to him as a resi-
dence; he saw no soil that compared favora-
bly, with the soil in the Clearwater Valley
and on the table lands adjacent.

THE NOBLE SON,

From the annual report of Governor
Bum to the Secretary Of the Interior
The Indian population Of the territory,
though gradually fading away before the
encroachments Of civilization, continues
to present vexed question for the So
luton Of the dominant race. As foot by
foot they have sullenly retired before
the tread Of the white man, their mum
Der have dwindled away. Civilization
has been to them a moral canker that
has eaten to the heart cores, and polluted
the blood Of their progeny. If ever
there existed the necessity Of a war Of
determination, that period has surely
passed by. As with the skin Of the Eth
opean, the spots Of the leopard, SO with
the restless, essentially free, rowing ma
ture Of the Indian. A radical change is
perhaps impossible Certainly sudden
one Is not to be hoped for. Centuries
Of continued defeat and disaster have
taught him to respect the power Of the
government, but it is the respect born of
the dread in q naturally courageous
heart.
The indians in the territory are now
peaceable and have given up the notion
Of organized resistance. They rather
seem to submit sullenly to their fate.
Part Of our common humanity, there is
surely something akin to do good In their
hearts that might be appealed to effec-
lively to better their own lives and make
at least part Of them useful and profitable
citizens. While should not expect uni
versal success at the ofIstart, would
recommend that the general government
assume charge Of them, -as wards in mi
nority, give them farms, start them IN
business as tillers Of the land; FREQ them
from taxation for the time; keep pa.
tcrnal watch over them and enfranchise
them IA they become independent. As
they become interested in their now asso-
Citations, the discontens will work out at
their finger ends; activity and labor will
cure the disease Of unrest and revolt,
fostercd BY brooding, herding and idle
ness. BY this plan, too, they could be
separated. Their traditions of wrong,
inflicted and avenged: would grow dim
and gradually fade out among the rising
generation. am strongly Of the opin-
ion that herding them on reservations in
Incidence, as pensioners, paupers on the
government. only tends to keep alive the
spirit Of snsubordination and the yearning
for revenge, they dare not openly attempt
hut nevertheless secretly desire.
There is every induccment for the in
| auguration Of some such farming expert
ment, that would be humanely, wisely,
honestly aud at the same time patiently
supervised by men who would carry out
in good faith the full spirit Of the inten-
ton.

= The English ladies who accompany the Brit
ish scientists in this country appear TO better adj
vantage than the men. Their chief physical char
acteristc is their fine, healthy glow of color betO
kening good health and outdoor life. They are,
with few exceptions, taller and larger than Ameri
can women ordinarily, and have more vigorous
look and carriage If their faces show less deli
eaey of expression and fewer refnements of fea-
ture and if their voices noticeably of greater
volume. their erect figures, strong eoloring, and
vigorous gait are compensating advantages. Their
voices seldom low and musical, and, although
not pitched high. are loud and strong. They are
good walkers, taking pace in the streets which
would leave their American sisters, at least those
who oity-bred. far in the rear.
