No definite actions were taken. War department authorities believe that the service has about completed its , work in San Francisco and desires that Qenerai Greely ehall withdraw the troops from aotive participation in the work of relief and restoration as rapidly as 'possible.

There has been a number of such conflicts and it ' is " feared that the situation would soon become very difficult.

It. is .realized in Washington that the soldiers must', eon' tlnue to act as guards fh the right time in some places, but it is believed that the citizens have the situation well in hand and should be allowed to conduct the work of restoration without the . employ ment of the army. . Noone in the War department has much of an idea of what has been expend- stoves, etc., which canpo't be iiased agauif will represent J Jsa.'of that " material Jo the army, and It is roughly estimated that the amount involved will not be less than $2,000,000.

According to Mj r Morrhouse, . the Indians have about 5.000 head of -ponies altogether, and the annual round up of these animals is about the keonest sport afforded the ever restless red man in this day of civilization. It could not be learn ed last evening whether or not the full end of the big drive which begins Thursday, but it is supposed that the major portion of he 5,000 will be included. The corralsinto. which the horses will bs driven are located on the head waters of the McKay and are about twenty-five miles from Pendleton. In spite of the great distance a number of people have signified their intention of going out to witness the fun. . v It is peculiarly fitting juat at this time when the big Spokane and Portland papers are exploiting 'the drive which is now taking place in Eastern Washington as the last of its kind that will ever be seen in the West, that the Umatilla Indians should begin in their annual round up, which contains nearly as many horses as are in the drive which ie being herald ed around the world. : Newest correspondence paper r. mum lit uu mp jff p rnewqaHTjiratg -1 !
