The Reservation.

Gen. Gardiner, inspector of Indian
reservations, arrived at Lewiston, Idaho.
on Monday to allot the Indians on the
Nez Perce reservation their lands in
severa!ty, and was taken to the Lapwai
agency by Agent Norris, where he will
at once commence his labors. No meas
ure of greater importance to the Lewiston
and Clearwater country has ever been
projected, nor one which promises to he
of such material and permanent benefit
as the opening of the surplus lands on
this reservation to Caucasian OCCUPATION
The total area of land in the boun la
ries of the reservation is 10000 acres,
about fonr- tifths of which is prairie land
suitable for agricultural purposes. Com-
mencing six miles above Lewiston the
reservation extends up the main Clear
water river for nearly 100 miles, taking
in all the fertile prairies which slop.
gradually from the surrounding noun
tains towards the river. The soil on
these prairies is very deep and of won
derful fertility, producing fruits of all
kinds in abundance and producing ce-
reals of the finest quality in unheard OF
quantities to the acre.
Surrounding the reservation on all
sides are white settlers, whose near
neighborhood, example and assistance
have encouraged the Indians to labor for
themselves. so that the tribe has for
many years been sclfsustaining and are
farming extensively on their own ac-
count. They have abandoned the tribal
system, and live without a chief. Un-
der the influences and teachings of the
missionaries who live among them, they
have advanced to point where they
are head and shoulders above any other
tribe on the coast in civilization and ed
ucation. -Oregonf0n.

within r. S. l645, although no money

Fair Treatment for Mr.. Blaine.

Upon this the NATIONAL REPUBLIC ~
has uvalyingly insisted, does insist, and
will msist-that MIR. Blaine shall be accepted
as sincere in writing his Florence letter.
Any other view Of the case is doing him
malicious, incNcusablc injustice. No man

that with which he opened that lcttcr

not he a'candidatc, and hc meant what he

wrote the Florence letter to the effect that
he la, changed his mind, or that anyholy
had authority to organize Il canvass FOR him
or 10 say whether he would accept a nOmi-
nation If it were offered him. We do not
believe there is man IN the United States
or any where else who has letter, or cable.
gram, or message Of any kind whatever from
him making any promise " pledge in conuec
tion with the nomination for the presidency.
