The second payment Of principal to
the Nez Perces, for the ceded lands,
began at the Agency last Monday at
8 o'clock. The Iayment is being made
in checks, issued by the government
Owing to the fact that no convertible
security can be found at this time In
the country, the Lewiston banks do
not desire all excess Of deposits and
therefore they did not assume the risks
incurred by transferring large sums of
money to the Agency for the purpose
of cashing the check. The field was.
therefore, this time, left clear for the
operations of less substantial financial
institutions, and It may be said less
conservative financiers. The Indians,
however, have had some costly exper.
ience in the past, and are wary Of f.
nanciers and their promises, and but
few deposits were secured.
Quiet has reigned 30 far during the
payment Of Indian money. The cold
