mission Of the State of Tacoma to include
within its boundaries the Territory OF
Washington aud the Northern par, of
Idaho which is north Of point 20 miles
south Of parallel 460 north latitude. This
south line extends east to the summit
Of the Bitter Root mountains. Theme,
uorthwcsterly along said summit to the

sioas. These boundaries suit the people
Of North Idaho.

The House Commute ON Indian Affairs
support the bill for the relief Of citizens
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho who
served in connection with the United
States troops, in the war with the Nez
Perez aud Bannock Indians, and for the
relief OF the heirs Of such as were killed
in such service. 1t provides that each
person who joined or assisted the forces
Of the United States in the State of Ore
gon, or in the Territories of Washington
or idaho, during the war with the Nez
Perez Indians in 1877, or in the war
with the Bannock Indians in 1878, shall
be paid 81 day during the term of such
service and for actual time necessarily
employed in going from and returning to
his home, and including all time spent in
hospital under treatment by such as re-
ceived wounds or other injuries in such
service. All persons who were wounded
or disabled in any such service, and the
heirs Of all who were killed in such SER
vice, shall be entitled to all the benefits
Of the pension laws in the same manner
as it they had been duly mustered into
the regular or volunteer forces Of the
United States. All horses and arms lost
in any such service shall be paid for at
their actual value.
The bill is supported by report which
impresses upon Congress the necessity
and justice Of its passage.
The committee on Indian Affairs still
have under consideration the bill prepared
by Representative George to provide for
the payment Of all claims for Indian dep
relations heretofore audited and allowed
by the Secretary Of the Interior, and such
claimants shall be paid the amounts thus
allowed.

ment will arm every citizen and allow
him to protect himself and his family and
property, which it will not do. Now We
perceive that Senator Dawes has intro
F, duced bill to have the hostile band OF
Joseph come back to the reservation, a
band who will be great disturbing elc-
ment among these Indians as well as
among the whites, and this seems to be
meditated and planned at the instance of
Gen. Miles Of this department to carry
out promise Of his made at the time of
.Joseph's surrender to him. We believe
in keeping all pledges made with the In
dams, if consistent with the safety of our
selves and our own citizens, but we think
Gen. Miles was much out of the way
when he made that pledge and we think
he is still more out of the way in seeking
to have these hostiles come back, and ut
the same time seeking to have the Lap
wal Post abandoned just on the eve. Of
their coming. Perhaps he may think
he can move his troops with sufficient dis
patch from the lower country to the scene
OF troubles on the reservation to prevent
further trouble. But one thing certain,
he will have to out travel Gen. Howard,
who was from the 18th day of June,
1877, to the 18th day of July, 1877, in
bringing up his forces from the lower
posts to attack the Indians. Had Lap
wal been garrisoned with experienced
troops under skilled commander in In
dian warfare, instead of raw recruits the
opinion generally prevails that the war
would have been nipped in the bud and
scores Of lives Of citizens and soldiers
saved. 1t is not true that Vancouver
and Walla Walla can now be denomi-
mated as frontier posts. They may be
considered base of supplies, but are not
points from which troops can quickly be
moved to scenes of outbreak among the
indians of the Northwest, as they are
now distributed, SO as to quickly check
and suppress impending hostilties. If the
Lapwai garrison be abandoned we shall not
be surprised to find that Indian troubles Of
asevere character be precipitated upon our
people in less than six months after the
troops are gone, and if our citizens find that
the Government will not afford the means
for their protection, they will not be long
in seeking means to protect themselves
without the direction or aid of the mill
tary. They have already suffered too
much both in lives and property to not
make preparations for protection in the
future. They are justly entitled to con-
sideration in determining this question
of abandonment. We should deeply de-
plore the sentiment among our people
living in the vicinity of the Nez Perez
reservation, with Joseph's renegades scnt
here, that the Government intended to
leave us without u military force to pro-
tect us IN case OF an emergency, for the
reason that the first law Of nature would
prompt them to adopt means for self
protection and these might destroy all
prospect Of peaceable relations between
whites and Indians for years to come.
Therefore We, in behalf of the people
protest against tho abandonment Of the
Lapwai garrison.

Delta Point.

The Importance of the work
now being done by the United
States government on Delta Point
is evidently not properly appreci-
ated by the majority of the eiti
zens of Vicksburg. Should the
point be allowed to cave, as it
would do were it not properly
reveted, the river would eventual
ly cut its way through the penin-
sular at Delta and would sweep
down the chute just below or on
the south side of the point.
Should this happen Kleinston, the
southern portion of this city,
would soon be cut off from the
river by IA bar which would natur.
ally form if the river cut through
the point. In the event that the
cutoff should occur Vieksburg
would be cutoff entirely from all
her river connections. But il is to
prevent this that $4,000 has been
allotted for the protection of Del
ia Point and Lieut.. Coppee, under
direction of Capt. Sears, has now
large force of men employed
making willow mattresses which
are sunk along the bank, and in
this way the bank is heing pro-
tected from the inroads made up
on it by the current which sets in
strongly against it at the little
town of Delta aud Immediately be.
low it. There is every reason to
believe that the work now being
done by Lieut. Coppee will prove
successful, as the revetment done
on the point last season stood re
markably well when the water fell
after the high water of last spring.
1t must be known that the river
will leave Nicksburg entirely if
the Delta cutoff is made to appre.
ciate the great Importance of
Lieut.. Coppee's efforts to save it
and prevent further caving.-Com.
