Dub os, our efficient delegate in con
gress, we have rec, ived an advance re-
port OF the indian commissioner, anC
on page We find that the Nez Perez
reservation has been selected for a tria
OF the allotment system. The report
says:
The president has wisely ordered
that allotments be made only on reser-
vations where the Indians are known to
be generally favorable to the idea. and
the following have thus far been Sc
Iected: Panago and Pima (Salt RIVER.

AT the threshold of this work, ou,
lined above, is manifest the impo itance
of selecting practical aud competent
special agents to 90 among the Indians
and settle them peacefully and satlsfac-
torily on their respective holdings.
Many difficulties will necessarily arise
on various reservations which will call
for unwearyins patience, close investiga
ton, and the utmost prudence and dis
cretlon, in order that equal and exact
justice may be yiy all parties con-
rerned, and in order that in the end the
work NAV command the confidence of
the Indians themselves and the approval
of the government and the public
Therefore too great haste in the matter

THE PESTIFERoUS BUG.

The world is full of bugs. There is
the tumble-bug. the bed-bug, the June
bug and the ightning- bug, but the
greatest bug of all is the hum. bug.
And il is curious how many oiherW ise
sensible people will allow themselves to
be bitten by the hum-bug. Men Law
awake nights and fight and cuss the
festive bed ug, and then rua lovingly
into the clutches of the ever-waiting
humbug. They buy worthless articles In
the east when our home merchants can
sell them better goods for less money
and are always caught by f1y-by-nght
appliances, aud never utter word of
complaint until their iron-clad notes
are sent up here for collection. So runs
the world away. If men aud women
would half as ndustriously and mer;i-
lessly fight the humbug as they do the
bed-bug, they-lhe men and women, we
mean, not the bugs-would be infinitely
better off and there would be few swim
dies perpetrated on the public. and
some OF those fellows who now live by
their wits-or the want of it in others
wolld have to work, starve or beg.

ALL RIGHT IN CONGRESS.

A Washington dispatch of Dece mber
80 says the proposed ann exation of our
four counties to Washington is exciting
some discussion there, and that Dele
gate Dubois is making hosts OF friends
IN his efforts to maintain the integrity
OF Idaho. Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
announces that he has withdrawn ftom
the fight for division. Senator Mitch
ell, OF Oregon, has also pronounced
against the division of Idaho, and the
chances are very favorable that the
measures will never leave the pigeon
holes. We extend in advance to old
Leland, Judge Buck and their Grange
vile henchmen assurances of our deep
est commiseration.

that it would have lad to be an

that land on. Camas prairie would have
been worth about one dollar per acre in
consequence 1t would have been a
good thing for Nez, Percc but II bad
thing for our county. and is just the very
thing the Lewiston people want. Yet
we have men here on Camas prairie
who are doing the. bidding of the same
old Lewiston gang every day Of the
week to accomplish the division and
bankruptcy of Idaho county.

THE WEATHER.

Since our last issue. we have been
treated to right smart cold snap, dur
ing which the jewhoiper' dropped
down to lSo below zero. This is the
eoldest weather experienced on Camas
prairie since the winter of 1SS0.Sl, " hen
the mercury registered 800 below for
two or three nights in succession !; but
the cold weather here is not as rigorous
as it is in the eastern states, for here the
air is calm and still, and its severity is
modified by the great japanese current
which sweeps along the Pacific north
west coast. At 1872 below here the cold
is quite bracing and healthful, and that
our people appreciate it is shown by the
number of sleighing parties which turn
out to enjoy it. A cold snap here is II
rarity, the thermometer for the last
three winters having never gone lower
than 90 degrees below zero. There are
nine inches Of dry snow on the prairie,
and the cattle that have not yet been
brought up are in excellent condition,
aud are not going to suller or die, as
the SNOW is too dry to freeze and hey
can easily paw for grass. The TACT that
winter came on time and in its proper
season this year, leads US to predict an
early spring and IA prosperous season
Tor crops. The snow on the mountains
is very little il any deeper tAan here On
The prairie.
