A settler from Cheyennb river, In tho
recently-opened Sioux reservation, re.
lates the following interesting account
of camp life of the Government troops
now there, and how trouble between the
settlers and Indians was averted;
! The troops were sent TO the reserva-
| tiou for the purpose of guarding the
settlers against any feared or fancied
| outbreak of Indians on the Sioux reser'
walton. There are now about threo
hundred and fifty soldiers encamped on
the Cheyenne river. The usual routine
of their lives Is made less monotonous
by daily visits from about four hundred
Indians who are encamped in their vi
cinity. The redskins get around at re-
veille and keep the soldiers busy watch
ing them to see that they do not steal a
tent horse, cooking stove, one Of the
officers or some other little thing until
retreat is sounded at night In spite
of all vigilance, however, great many
articles OF more or less value disappear
every day
The Indians appear friendly and fear
Of an outbreak has almost subsidized.
When the troops first arrived on the
ground there was much reason for ap-
prehension, and indeed one officer ask
ing for two companies Of infantry, inti-
mated that he would at once march on
an Indian village, destroy it and thus
open the ball. At this time the Young
bucks were anxious for battle and had it
not been for the wiser counsel OF the
older warriors would doubtless have pre-
cipitated one. An old fellow, however,
when the war council was held built two
hills OF sand. One was small, the other
much larger. Pointing TO the little one
the old Indian said: Like Injun;" to
the big one, Like white man. Injun
got no show against white man" This
seemed to settle it The ardor Of the
young bloods, eager for scalps, was
dampened. peace was determined upon
and the council broke up.
At present band of two hundred In
dians are camped on the Belle Fourcho
river. They are on the reservation and
mean no mischief. When
they first struck camp there they visits
cd the various settlers and offered to
trade any and every thing they had.
even to their wives and papooses, for
saddle ponies. The settlers wisely re-
fused to trade and therefore have not
suffered from a raid, for one was doubt

ROOM FOR MANY MORE.
Roanoke Wants Twice as Many
Wholesale Houses.

The growth of the Wholesale business
Of Roanoke is keeping pace with pro
gress In other directions.
few years ago Messrs. j. NJ. Gam
bill IL Co., opened a Wholesale grocery
house here. Notwithstanding the fact
that many people ridiculed the idea of
trying to do wholesale business in
Roanoke, their business was success
full from the beginning, and other largo
houses soon followed, until there are
now six wholesale groceries, two of tho
largest of these having commenced
business this year These six houses
will do a business this year of about
one and half million dollars.
BESIDES these, there are wholesale
tobacco house, hardware house and
one notion establishment. These have
altogether twenty travelling men selling
their goods and spreading the fame of
Roanoke every day. These houses
handle. and the business is growing
with the development of Southwest
Virginia, of which Roanoke is the ac-
knowledgcd trade center. Within an
other year new field equally as extern
sive, will be opened up by the Roanoke
and Southern railroad, and there is
strong hope that Roanoke's facilities
for becoming a great commercial CEN
ter Will be still further increased by
connections with the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
All the merchants take very hopeful
views of the situation and are anxious
to see other lines of trade represented.
Said Mr.. j. Is. Andrews to a TIMES re-
porter yesterday: Roanoke offers
fine field for dry goods and boot and
shoe houses They would help the
grocery business, and we are willing to
take stock in houses of different lines
to secure them
Roanoke is so full of opportunities
that all of them cannot he taken up in Il
few months. or even years, but the in
viting field for other lines of wholesale
trade will not remain entirely unoccu-
pied much longer. Eight large build
ings are now going up, and they will be
occupied as soon as completed. Mr.. w.
L. Reese's new three-story brick build
ing on Campbell street will be occupied
as wholesale shoe house, and the large
double store building on the corner of
Roanoke street and Salem avenue is be-
ing constructed with view of being
used for wholesale dry goods establish
mentS.
There is now great demand for all
kinds of business houses, and especially
for such as are suitable for Wholesale
Within year the number of
wholesale houses will be more than
doubled and the demand for houses still
greater.

ROANOKE's COMPETITOR.
LynchburG. Too, Would Like to Take in
the Baltimore and Ohio.

the Baltimore and Ohio.
BALTIMoRE, Oct. co. Speciall- The
Sun to-day says: The question of the OK
tension of the Valley railroad to a
Southern connection is advanced q stem
by the disposition now being actively
manifested at both Roanoke and Lynch
burg to take hold of the matter in n
businesslike way. At the meeting of
the citizens of Roanoke held Friday last
under the auspices of the Commercial
Club of that city the advantages of the
project were discussed with enthusiasm.
OF special interest were the remarks
OF President Trout. of the new railroad.
the Roanoke and Southern, now under
construction. Sixty miles of this road.
according to Mr.. Trout, have already
been built without mortgaging a foot Of
1t. and 1t IS to be extended 200 miles
southwark from Roanoke into South
Carolina. When completed it will be n
desirable outlet for the b. and o. south
ward. If on reaching Roanoke the Il.
and .. is to find two southern connections
so much the better. Two roads would
bring 1T business. aud between the two
the Is. and O. would get reasonable rates
on its Southern-bound traffic.
In the existence of the Roanoke and
Southern the Baltimore and Ohio ought
OhcrclOrc W see an auU1t1Onal reason to
rouse itself from it's lcthargy. What
action the proposed committee of citi-
zcns will take to carry out Roanokc's
expressed desires remains to be seen,
but if it takes the form of subscriptions
looking to construction of roadbed and
track the Magic City's competitor will
be put to its mettle, for Roanoke is not.
1T seems. to possess the Valley Branch
extension without a rival
Lynchburg is of opinion, according to
the News of that city, that the Balti-
more and Ohio should build from Lex
ingGon to Lynchburg and go southwark
thence over the Lynchburg and Durham
Railroad. If the baltimore and Ohio
really wants a Southern outlet, that by
way of Lynchburg, say the Lynchburg-
ers, is better than the one by way of
Roanoke. for the reason that Lynchburg
is nearer Lexington in starting point,
and because the Baltimore and Ohio
locomotive at Lynchburg will be fifty
miles nearer its objective point south
ward than at Roanoke.
Such is the argument. 1t is entitled
to consideration. At any rate, the
Lynchburgers are likely to form com
mittee. too, and decision will not be
reached before the two growing cities
of that part of Virginia have had their
respective merits fully presented.
