A small squad of soldiers, some half
dozen in all, under command of Lieu.
tenant Darlington from Fort Sherman.
passed through Lewiston this week for
Lapwai, where for some days they will
remain for the purpose of recruiting
Indians for cavalry service. Under the
new military regulations an attempt is
being made to make soldiers of the In
dians. Lieutenant Darlington has been
recruiting Indians now for some
months, but finds them very shy to
accept Uncle Sans offer.
Miss Fletcher began this week the
allotment of the Indian lands along the
railroad route. 1t will, it is estimated,
take about week to complete the sur
vey and allotment. w. D. Robbins

the damages. This, also, can be com.
pleted within the week and all reports
