Sir George Stuart White, tho command
or In chief of the British army in India
and tho man to whom England has in
trusted the task of subduing the most seri-
GUS rebellion which has occurred within
the empire for many years, is man who
has won his honors late in life. He has
boon in the army for nearly As years, and
for more than two thirds of that time he
served in obscure foreign stations.
His first commission, which he won in
1853, was that of an ensign, and 1t took
him ten years to reach tho rank of captain.
1t was ten years moro before ho became Il
regimental major. Along in tho eighties,
however, his ability and valor began to be
recognized, and since then he has been
rapidly advanced, until now he is in SUI
preme command of 225, 600 troops, ~. 600
of whom arc British regulars. All Eng
land looks to him to save for the crown tho
imperial province. He is, in fact, very
much in the public eye, and can well nf-
ford to forget tho long years when his was
merely an unknown name on the army
roll
In the meantime, however, he has seen
lots of hard service and some exciting
campaigning. He won his X. C. b. on

Threshing is nearly completed in
the Lewiston valley and most of the
grain is already safe in the warehou yes
on the river. Lewiston has received
the greater quantity of the crop that
has been placed in storage, but just
now the warehouse on the Tammany
is receiving the bulk of the wheat from
the country beyond that point.
Geo. Stonebreaker reports that all
the wheat in the Waha country has
been threshed and on this side there
are only two places where there is any
thing not cleaned up. He has but four
days work left for his machine. The
average for the entire district between
here and Craig mountain will reach
nearly 80 bushels. The wheat in the
Waha country has been the best in the
district the average yield there will
run about 35 bushels per acre

crop on the reservation along the

quite up with the headers. Mr.
Sweeney had N total of 100 acres
and the yield has been remarkable.
The grain is tall ana very heavily
headed. The bad weather has caused
it to lodge some but the headers are
doing very effective work and will
save the mos, of it. The yield is av-
eraging from 40 to 80 bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Sweeney Will need fully
two weeks of good weather yet to save
his crop.
