Inilg JPttahuer,
SATVRDAT HORSING, MARCH 17, 1800.
A large number of horses came op
on the stock-boat yesterday afternoon.
Wo should think seventy or eighty.
Our glorious spring weather conti
nues, and the trade in garden seeds
and implements is brisk.
.: Wasco County Union Convention.
As previously announce!! this con.
vcotion meets to-day at 1 o'clock,
r. t , at the Court House.
Too principal business likely to
corao before tho convention will be
the selective of dolegates to the State
Convention, which meets at Corvatlis
on tbo 29th inst. It is also possible
that the ticket for County officers will
be nominated,' though we understand
(omp of the delegates come instructed
to defer the county nominations for
the present.
We trust that perfect harmony will
prevail and none bat good men" be
solected.
From Camp Watson. Mr. West
who arrived at the Dalles yesterday
from Camp Watson, informs us that
tho Indians are cutting up some of
their usual capers abos Camp Curry,
and in south of the Canyon City road,
though he has not heard of any recent
depredations upon the line of travel to
John Day.
Some six or seven soldiers belongs
" ing to Camp Curry, who were guard
ing a government bay -stack, were fired
upon and drivon into camp, leaving
their blankets, provisions, and one of
their guns for tho Indians,
Mr. W. represents the road as bei
ing almost impassable from mud, but
that this weather is rapidly changing
that.. There was a foot of now snow
on the mountain.
Tub White Bluffs Route. We
give below, without comment, the res
port of tho committee appointed by
a meeting of the citizens of the Dalles
to make inquiries regarding the prac
ticability and expediency of the White
Bluffs route :
The committee appointed to eanvass
tho route traveled to the Upper Co
lumbia River and Blackfoot mines
beg leave to submit the following re
port:
From the Dalles via White Bluffs,
overland to- Colville, we find the dia
tance to be 275 miles; water and grass
at' convenient distances for camping
the entire way.
From the Dalles via White Bluffs
to Pen d'Oreille Lake,2G5 miles; water
and grass as above, on lbs route.
Ibe committee would further state
that between the Dalles and White
Bluffy the trait is settled the entire
distance, and miners cannot go astray
beyond White Bluff, parties are now
out staking off the course between that
point an Mullan'a Eoad. Between
White Bluffs and tbe Upper Colombia
there is a plain wagon road.
Some of the committee have trave
ed over tbe different routes to tbe
Upper 3 Columbia river' and Pen
d'Oreille Lake,' and bave no hesitation
in saying that they regard tbe Dalles
and White Bluffs route as far more
expeditious,' and 'attended with less
cOBt than any other route; at tbe same
time being in distance from 75 to 100
piles shorter. - W. D. Bioelow,
