We are informed that one of the reasons
for the military desiring to abandon Lapwai
is becau e the people of the surrounding
country have fenced up the roads 50 they
cannot reach the lake and other points where
they have been accustomed u drive for pleas
ure 1t is a fact which cannot ae disputed
that by reason Of roaGs not having been IS.
tabshed at an early day hy county boards
that there is a great deal of difficulty in re.
gard to the question of roads and many suits
are being Instituted to settle controversies,
NHEEsE FACTORY Mr. Schuldheis and sew.
eral other gentlemen have formed company
with capital of several Thousand dollars iol
the purpose OF engaging in the manufacture
OF cheese at or near Cotton, w. 7. They
have steam power and Messrs. Bunnell Bros
are manufacturing their milk cans, and milk
and curd watts. We understand that they
are skilled III the business. If they will man
ufacture an article of cheese such as the
shippers will eat they probably can make q
sale Of large quantity in this section at d
tar price. But if they take the cream off OF
the milk for other purposes woe be to the
cheese factory.
Mr. d. w. c Dunwell, the sheep com
missioner of Nez Perez county, in compan,
with Mr.. Grimes last week, paid a visit t,
the eastern portion of the Potlatch countr,
to examine the number and the condition o.
the sheep in that section. They founC
about sixty thousand head, most of which
had been driven into that section from
"ashin ton territory for grazing purposes
The owners were called upon to pay the fee.
of the commissioner aud get IA certificate from
him of the number and condition of theil
sheep, in pursuance of the laws of Idaho
One of them seemed to be defiant and re
fu ed to recognize the authority of the COM
missioner, and his case will probably be at
tended to as provided by law. The Others
were willing TO recognize his authority and
right. The commissioner will visit othe,
sections of the county during this snd|the
ensuing week.
Since the change in the Dayton route the
Portland and Malla Walla papers seem to
come through to this office on good time,
leaving Portland on the cars about Il
o'clock NJ, arriving at Dayton on the next
morning at o'clock A. NJ, they
re distrit uted on the carr into the Lewis.
ton bags and put on to the Lewiston stage
from the cars, and starts at A. NJ, ar.
irving at Lewiston little after 6. P. NJ, &C
that We get the Oreyonian and Standard by
mail the evening of the next day after theil
issue. But by SOME means those packages
Of papers which comes by express do not
reach here until "a hours later. The sup
position is that the express agents do not
see thai their express box leaves Dayton the
same morning after the arrival Of the papers
on the stage for Lewiston, but hold the pa
pers till the next day. AS there is one hour
intervening between their arrival at Dayton
and the departure Of the stage, we see no
good reason why they should not be put on
board the stage at the same time with those
papers which come by mail If this be not
remeGied the subscribers at Lewiston who
now receive the Portland papers by ex-
press will find it to their advantage to have
them come by nail instead of the express.

lowing real estate will be sold at reasonable
