SOME IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED
BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF IDAHO.
Mr.. BLISS PRoDs THE. AGENT.
TELLS HIM TO HURRY ALONG HIS
TELEGRAPHIC REPORT OF
THE AFFAIR
rT II
No Good Likely to Come iOf 1t In the
Opinion of the Officer In
Charge.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Heitfeld, of Idaho, received another dis
patch today from Gov. Steunenberg,
dated at Boise, as follows:
Complaints continue today. Fences are be-
ing burned and cattle killed. Indians come
from Lemhi, Umatilla, Fort Hall and Duck
Valley reservations. They must dsperse or
trouble Will soon follow.
This was soon communicated to the
interior department, and Secretary
Bliss Immediately wired Agent Irwin
at Fort Hall to expedite his telegraphic
report of the situation and called upon
the agents at Lemhi, Umatilla and the
Western Shoshone Duck Valley agen-
cies for reports.
Game Warden Manning, of Marys
vale, Wyo., near the scene of the Jack
son Hole affair, part of the old Ban
mock hunting grounds, has urged a
proposition to dsarm the Indians on
the Fort Hall reservation, and the mat
ter has been forwarded for considera-
ton through Gov Richards and Sem
ator Warren, Of Wyoming. Agent r.
win has taken a decided stand against
it, and In a report to the Washington
authorities dated day or two before
The proposition to disarm the Indians of
this reservation is not practicable, and if 1t
were, would be Of no particular benefit since
if 1t were possible to collect every gun on the
reservation, the supply could be renewed
within few hours from the various towns in
adjoining reservations These Indians are not
armed in the ordinary sense or the term, but
like all hunting people, some OF them possess
shot guns and rifles for hunting purposes
only AS such arms are freely sold them
everywhere it would be worse than useless
to deprive the Indians of these. The law re-
and persistently explained, and is understood
by every one of them. Those who hunt IN
violation of the law will do so wilfully and
with the expectation of being punished II
caught exactly as in the case of white men.
The agent adds that he does not be-
lieve many of them will venture into
the hunting regions this season, but
it can hardly be expected that a Gus
tom enjoyed for generations and which
they believe unjustly taken away, can
be broken up in one or two years. The
Indians, as a whole, however, acqui-
esce in the decision of the United States
supreme court, growing out Of the
Jackson Hole trouble, in which the
hunting rights Of the Indians were
negatively decided. Some Indians,
however, he predicted, would slip away
unnoticed. In another letter the game
warden was advised by the agent as
the most effective way of preventing
their departure on these expeditions to
arrest and Jail the first Indians who
appeared in the vicinity

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
Total for the First Half of the Year
Very Small

CHICAGO, June 3O.-The Railway
Age reports that only 622 miles Of
track have been laid in the United
States during the first half of 1897
This is less than the corresponding
period of any year since 1875, with the
exception of 1894, when only 525 miles
of track had been laid up to July l.
In twentysix Of the states and terri
tories no track has been laid this
year Judging from the construction
now under way on the different lines
the total amount Of track laid during
the entire year will be close to 1000
miles-about the same amount that
was laid during each Of the last three
years. So far this year Louisiana
leads with Ill miles of track laid, and
California is second with SO.

likely that the other roads will also
run the excursions on the same dates.
The Western roads have decided
that they cannot grant the request
OF the Chicago merchants for reduced
rates from country points, on account
of so many protests having been re-
ceived from the jobbers in the various
states adjoining Illinois and also FROM
Illinois cities.
The total number of passengers ham

HEAVY LAND SALES.
Railroads Report Activity in De-
mand in This Line.

The sales of Northern Pacific rail-
road lands throughout Minnesota and
North Dakota are amounting to $780,
600 monthly, there being an unusual
activity on account of new settlers ar
irving. This activity is not confined to
railroad lands by any menas, as shown
by the fact that filings at the United
States land offices in these two states
have been larger than any year since
1892. The sales of Northern Pacific
lands in the Bismarck district, have
thus far aggregated $4,000 acres, which
about equals the total sales in that
district for the past five years. Autumn
sales also promise we'll.
According to Great Northern reports,
this spring was a very dull one for
land sales, but since May 1, the pros
poets have frightened considerably. In
the state of Minnesota particularly, is
this improvement apparent, and some
larger sales have been made during
May and June.
