THIS remedy has for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its
fulness and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-

Recent letters from the Boise mines and
vicinity confirm reports in regard to the
hostility of the Snake Indians in that
country Several persons have already
been brutally murdered and scalped by
these savages. Animals are driven off
by them with impunity, and hostile bear
ing towards the whites is manifested by
this tribe in all their actions. That there
will BE- war with these Indians the COM
ing summer there is now every reason to
believe. For years these savages have
been the constant terror to overland emil
grants to the Pacific coast, and thousands
have been deferred from crossing the plains
simply because these Indians stood in the
way of safe journey. Hundreds of emf
grants have perished by the hands of this
marauding, blood-thirsty tribe, and their
bones lie bleaching from the Rocky noun
tains to the Grande Ronde valley. But
the time, we hope, is near at hand when
these savage fends will get their dues and
pay the penalty of their atrocious deeds by
being swept from the face of the earth.
They have commenced hostilities in such a
manner that there can scarce be any hope
that they intend to show any mercy to the
whites Treaties have never availed much
with Indians when they have once assumed
a hostile attitude towards the whites, and
there can be no hope of accomplishing any
thing in that way in the present instance.
Let the tables now be turned, and if the
same hostile bearing is continued by them,
let the Uatchword Of the Boise miners be
adopted" Kill every Snake Indian on
sight" By the slow process of Govern
ment expeditions there will perhaps be no
availf BILE military force in the Boise region
for some time to come and until there is
such force there it behooves miners and
others to prepare to protect themselves.
Every one who goes to Boise should go
well armed. Until the Indians are driven
back from the road it is better and safer to
go in parties of from ten to thirty than
to straggle along by twos and threes. We
do not wish to create any unnecessary alarm
in eau tioning the public in this manner,
and we are only urging caution because we
deem it advisable for those who go out to
the mines to go prepared for any emergency
that may arise, on the road or in the mines

Proceedings of the Railroad Meeting.


The meeting of the Walla Walla Rail
road Company was held at the Court House
last Saturday pursuant to the call. The
letters of Mr.. Thos. H. Smith and Judge
Wyche declining the appointment of Com
missioners to solicit subscriptions at Van
couver, and expressing regret at not being
able to render any service towards the en-
terprise, were read and the designations ac-
cepted. One of the gentlemen had removed
to Portland and the other is about to To-
cate at Walla Walla.


The committee appointed to draft articles
ofassOciatiOn presented their report of which
the following is synopsis:


The officers of the company shall consist
in President, Secretary, three Directors,
a Treasurer and an engineer. The duties
of the officers are prescribed. The direc-
tors are to select upon the route of the line
and report such selection to the company,
and are to file plan of the route in the Of
fee of the Secretary of the Territory as re-
quired by the charter granted by the Leg
islature.


A majority of the subscribers to these ar
ticlcs and who shall take stock in the road
shall constitute a quorum for the transac-
ton of business. All elections for officers
shall be by ballot, and majority of votes
cast are necessary to a choice.


This temporary organization continues in
force until regular organization by stock
holders is made.


Thus it will be seen that some steps have
been taken by the corporators here to put
the enterprise on permanent footing and
make beginning of the work as required
by the charter 1t now remains for the cor
porators to use active exertions toward Sc
curing stock in this county. At present
we can expect but little outside aid towards
the work, and an assessment, according to
the number of shares taken, will be made
to make the survey required, which is i'm
portant to have done before titles are ac-
quired to lands along the line of the route
so as to diminish as much as possible the
expense of purchasing the land or rights of
way over land not now occupied There
will be few farmers along the line of the
route who would not be willing to give a
free passage to the road. tie company of
course doing the required fencing. At any
rate the present summer is the limit of time
fixed by the Legislature for action in this
matter.


At present it is a matter of some conec-
ture as to the probable expense of the road,
as the amount of work necessary to be done
to prepare the road bed has been only
roughly estimated by the eye. AS soon as a
regular line is laid then the project has
some data to go upon and its friends have
some means of knowing the expense neces-
sary to be incurred. The interest which is
manifested in this valley as well as by cap
italists below would promise that the ad-
journed meeting to be held to day at . P.
NJ will be attended not only by the corpo-
rators named, but by all those who are will
ling to use their exertions to establish the
work on a permanent foundation, and have
it assume an actual existence.

And the batteries on the land
Round its faint but fearless band

From the heavens, that shrink aghast,
Hell will rise in grim derision, and make room
