The word was given, my revolver was
handed to me, and plunged ia.
"The river was not wide, but very
deep, and quite swift. I slipped off my
horse, and, taking hold Of his tail, al
lowed him to tow me slowly across.
During the few moments Of crossing, my
brain was very active, and whom the
horse scrambled up the bank my plan
was formed.
at was by this time almost dark, and
when the horse reached the top Of tho
bank I stopped him, and frightened
the saddle girth in full view of the In
dians, who, true to their word, waited
for me to disappear in the underbrush be-
fore taking to the water. The moment
struck the brush yell from hundreds
of Indian throats reached me, and the
bullets cut tho brush all around me.

my pistol barrel gave him whack over

on gallop clear to the fort. KNEW, too,
that the Indians would follow his trail,
so slipped as quietly as possible up
side coulee aud hid until tho Indians
passed me, when made tracks for an
other fort about twenty-five miles dis

'My ruse proved successful, for the
Indians, thinking, of course, that
would try to get home, followed my
horses trail, and left me unpursucd. l
travelled all that night, and reached my
destination just as the bugles were

proper post.

Our Pork Packery.

In concluding detailed description
Of the new pork-packing establishment
at Colfax, in which our whole county is
certainly interested, the Gazette truth
fully says:
The advantages to accrue to the pork
raiser of this section are very apparent.
Heretofore the raising Of hogs has been
attended with very great risks, as the
prices were SO huctuating it was difficult
to determine half year ahead what
would be the profits to the hog raiser.
But with this establishment at their
backs the Palouse country farmers are
assured of a market for their pork and
of fair prices. We have heard it re-
marked frequently of late that the peo-
pie of the Palouse country did not raise
enough pork to supply themselves. The
hogs were butchered in their season and
sold at whatever price they could COM
mand, but before midsummer the far
mers were buying imported bacon at an
enormous price. Hams (canvassed) sold
for 20 cents per pound at the latter part
of the past summer. With the packing
done at home freight both ways is saved,
and the farmer will no doubt be greatly
benefited, as well as the city consumer,
by having this establishment in our
midst.
f. w. Becker, the manager, and in
fact the actual protector of the industry,
is half owner and has associated with
him in the firm two well-known citizens
and business men of this city, Jas. A.
Perkins and A. L. Mills, who may be ex-
pected to manage with foresight and
ability and make this industry one of
the establis he'd institutions of our pros
porous community. Mr.. Carnegie, the
foreman, is man of experience and is
thoroughly conversant with all the de-
tails of the business. This enterprise,
when in full working order, will give lu-
crative employment to from eight to
twelve men, will stop the importation Of
lard and bacon, will supply us with fresh
and cured meats at the lowest possible
cost, and, we trust, will be of lasting
benefit to the entire community.

North and soqtt1hD Dakota are up and
rustllng to sseedre immediate statehood,
holding ffaiffge conventions and appoint
e.g committees to lead on in the work.
At the convention in jamestown, presid-
ed over by ex-Gov. Pierce, resolutions
were adopted fayoring the division of
Dakota territory on the seventh parallel
and immediate admission of the northern
portion into the Union as North Dakota;
that in case the present Congress fails
to provide for admission, the president
elect be requested to call special ses-
sion of Congress for the purpose; and
that South Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington are respectfully invited to coop
crate. A committee was chosen to ar
range for an ter-territorial convention,
which will probably be called at Helena,
Montana. The latter territory is also
taking steps in this direction. What
does Washington propose to do about
it? Time flies!

Vancouver Independent: Judge Den
nison and others seem to be raising the
ghost of woman suffrage in this terrific
ry, as an issue for the future. They
have right to do that if they choose,
but both political parties should at once
give them notice not to saddle that thing
upon them for party issue. Whichev-
er party fathers it will 60 down in de-
feat. The only way to decide this issue
properly is to submit it to the test of
legal voters of the territory as now con-
stituted.

THE Goldendale Sentinel saws:

1t is a disgrace to the town that not
public meeting, social gathering, a
party, or even an assembly of religious
worshipers can get together without
more or less interruption from drunken
hoodlums, and in almost every instance
they are boys under 20 years of age.
We notice that these walls come from
straight prohibition towns. People will
realize after time that high-icense con-
troll is much better for the public.

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
Comment on the Situation from
England and Canada.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Fhe st. James Gazette
commenting on President Cleveland's mes
sage says; "The position Is awkward and
unpleasant for both countries. The relation
threatened is so illogical and unreasonable,
it is difficult to understand, its precise cause
and meaning. Two plausible explanations
occur. 1t may have been intended to in
huence votes or TO merely bluff Canada into
granting American demands. England must
and will supply the proper Safeguard for
Canadian interests. We must await the next
step. 1t Is difficult to suppose the matter
will be allowed to end otherwise than in a
perfectly friendly manner"
The Globe says that President Cleveland
makes strong cause against Canada and
surmises that Canada Will doubtless be able
to show equally as good a case. If Cana
dlans had rejected the, treaty it would be
easy to understand why President Cleve-
land should ask for retaliation, but the
Globe cannot understand why President
Cleveland, generally Just man. should
punish the Canadians for the act of the
American Senate, and asks if President
Cleveland has attempted to bid for the irish
vote.
The Pail Mall Gazette suspends opinion
upon the real significance of President Cieve-
lands message, but says Ii looks ugly F"'ll
The StarlG. ?. OiConnor's paperf says it
has no fear OF war over the matter, but is Of
the opinion that serious fraction is certain to
result "
a Political Move.
MONTREAL. Aug. M.-It was late last
night when the news of the Presidents mes
sage reached here. The rumor spread like
wildfre, and caused great excitement among
merchants and railroad men. Nobody seemed
to know just what to think of it, and finally
it was limited that the retaliation act had
been put in force by proclamation. Mr..
Shaughpessy, assistant general manager of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, was consider
ably surprised, and said: well, it won't
hut the Canadian Pacific much, anyhow,
but it will be nad ,.aad for the Canada Southern,
the Grand Trunk and Central vermont. 1t
will cripple the Grand Trunk trade between
Montreal and Portland, but as far as can
understand the message, it will work much
more disastrously to American roads The
fact is, it seems to be a strategic political
movement of the President to put the whole
responsibility for the recent failure of the
treaty negotiations upon the Republican
Senate by asking Congress to give him power
would undoubtedly be passed by the Demo-
cratic House, but would necessarily have to
be ratified by the Senate, which will thus be-
obliged to stultify itself or be placed in a
tight fix"
Secretary of State Chapteau said the eov-
ernment would certainly not put any retail
atng measures in force, but it was well
within its province to withdraw the licenses
at present granted to American fishermen
under the modus vivendi, and that was what
would probably be done.
