From Hon. j. G. Luckey, agent of the
Warm Springs reservation, who has been
in town for the past two days, we learn
that crops would have been excellent if
it had not been for the devastation of
crlckets. The Indians have threshing
machine, and they have realized about
1900 bushels of wheat from their farms.
They cultivate a large area of ground,
and appear to be contented with civilized
habits. These Warm Springs Indians
have been warm friends to Americans,
and in several emergencies have defended
them from other tribes.
Dayton Chronicle: Mrs. Chris Marll was
badly injured Thursday morning by pet
cow. Mrs. Marl was milking when the
cow bit her on the shoulder. THIS fright
ened Mrs. Marll so that she fell off the
milking stool The COW then turned around
and proceeded to hook her, lnfictlng Sc
we're wound on the left limb above the
knee. Mr.. Marll and his sons succeeded in
driving the COW off with clubs and stones.
DR.. McLachlan was called and dressed the
wound, and Mrs. Marll is getting along
nicely. Had the wound been an eighth OF
an inch deeper, the lady would have bled to
death before assistance arrived.
Says the Lewiston Qdaho) Teller: The
policy of the government is well de.
fined toward the opening of public lands
for settlement. The legislation of the last
congress provided for the opening to settle
ment of over S,000 900 acres of Indian
lands, and it is now negotiating for the ces-
sion of 100000 acres belonging to the
Cherokees and 1000, 600 acres in Southern
Colorado, belonging to the Utes In the
west the Colville reservation contains
100000 and the Nez Perce 10000.
These, together with the recently. opened
Couer 'd'Alene reserve and that of Fort
Hall, in South Idaho, yet leaves magnIfi-
t0 sunply honnaofaoAc for fha |
coming generations of American settlers.
The eastern homeseeker has yet splendid
chances in the northwest to be supplied
with cheap but desirable lands. Here are
millions of acres far more desirable than
the lands recently opened to settlement
near Oklahoma.
Tidings: People driving along the wagon
road north of Ashland complain of reckless
ness in the blasting at tine railroad rock cuts
above the road. Blasts will be prepared,
and the fuse lighted before any one is sent
to warn approaching teams, and several in
stances of narrow escapes from serious in.
jury are reported. More than one person
has said that the first notice received of
danger was the sound of the blast and fall
of broken rocks, or the hurried approach of
a man who said the blast was just going off.
If this continues, someone will be badly
hurt yet by falling rock, or by the runaway
of team of frightened horses. The public
ought to be given all the protection possi-
BILE, and no blast should be touched of, day
or night, without patrol being sent out in
both directions along the road with ample
time to see that it Is clear and to keep
everyone entirely beyond the reach of dan.

Whatcom Reoeslle: The victims of the
EUdngeL disaster were all taken to the hos
pitfalls at Port Townsend and Seattle, FRI
day morning, with the exception of the
dead man and Sandberg. The removal was
made on the City Of Seattle. ltwas learned
during the day that two of the injured
men died on the passage, presumably Willie
Biggs and Julius Flint, the fireman. Biggs
was burned internally. 1t was thought by
the physicians that Al Biggs and Joe Bur-
roughs, the colored cook, would die. Many
people visited the wreck, Friday. The hull
was not injured, but the entire upper part
of the boat was destroyed. The boiler had
shot through the cabin, broke the mast in
two places and fallen into the bay in about
twelve feet of water. The boat was moved
around the wharf to be out of the way of
other steamers. 1t is probable that the old
hull will be fixed up again, and continue
business.
