The prosecuting attorney and Uni ted States marshal of Idaho territory are going hot and heavy after all parties who take or have been taking timber lrom government land, surveyed or un Mirveyed. Much trouble is anticipated before long all through that country and all men are advised to look sharply a "leetle" out. While the board of investigation concerning the wreck of the Great lie public are. inquiring how many moon light nights there are on an average at the mouth of the Columbia, would it not be well also to ascertain how many times the government and departments have been petitioned to erect range lights at the entrance of the river.

The rendleton Independent says that last week while three stock-men were hunting cattle on John Dav's river they discovered an Indian cache near its mouth, and on digging into it they found i beaded sash about six inches wide and three feet long, a scalp of a white woman, and scalps of two white men, besides a number of Indian trinkets. After tak ing out these they found some boards, on removing w.iich, there lay three Indians whose bodies appeared bloody und who were probably killed in the yillov Spring fight last summer. Tho First B oo I. WttUa Walltt Watchman. Last week a deputy sheriff of Yakima count' arrested soma : Indians charged with participating in thePerkm murder. He found ... i i .!. c .i i i..:i ! aim secureii uircc ui uif iru ucvum, and proceeded with his charge l- ward Yakima city. On the morn ing of April ISth, while in camp ; at BilPs bar, three Indians came ; in, and their lexiks awl manners i created a certain uneasiness in the j mind of the officer. Re asked ! I them what they wanted, and they said they came to assist him in arresting other 1 ndians also guilty ot crime, but 1 norp smelt a mice. Tie knew they were lying to him and asked them to give up their arms in token of good faith, but they refused. Thorp expected trouble; and prepared for it, but told his men not to lire first, but to let the Indians open the bail. Here he made a mistake. The idea of waiting to be shot at first by a treacherous lot of Indians, before showing fight, is too pre posterous for a white man to enter tain. Never do it. It is well enough to be discrete, but be also pert and daring, when the occasion requires it. The oldest Indian, who was father to one of the pris oners, began to handle his rille very uneasily. Throp reached out to take it, when the Indian sud denly jumped back and fired it point blank in his face, the powder scorched him but the ball whistled by lie then drew his revolver and was about to return the fire, when both arms were grappled by two of the prisoners who drew their knives and tried to stab him but being a powerful man. broke loose one arm and knocked the other Indian down with it. The other Indians opened fire and one Martin Russell was badlv wounded. The old Indian that commenced the trouble was mor tally wounded. One of the prison ers was killed and it is a great pit' the whole murderous band wasn't sent into the happy hunting ground, and freed the country of of a pack of vagabonds. The four remaining ndians lefttaking with them all the stock the white men had. They came to rescue the prisoners and the' did it. The Statesman says Mr. Bounds acted like a hero.

The shad is a delicious edible. It is a rival of salmon. The first in our market in the season comes from the Savannah river, and it commands a fabulous price. In March this fish makes its appearance in the Hudson, and the fishermen make usual efforts to secure it. There are qualities in "au' rta ""-IO " " .wjwihi3 uiau. The best arc caught in the Connecticut j river. Hudson river shad come next j after which the iSorth Carolina shad i are the best. Savannah shad are the I poorest, on the principle that the! earliest fruit is the poorest. Shad run from the St. Lawrence to Charles ton. con. The codfish is a sort of a national fish.

The cod is a rood eating fish. The meat is nice and white and solid. SALMON. There is no lih m re highly prized for fHid than the silmon, and there is no finer salmon than that found in the rivers of Or-gou. This luxurious fish visits the rivers of both continents. It is caught by running wire fences across the streams, into which the foolish fish runs its head, and remains caught --impaled, as it were, looking 'pile around the gills." Large num bers are also caught b' hook, while in .sonic sections harpooning is practiced. The .salmon is from 2-i to 3(5 inches long, and attains a weight of 30 pounds or more. During the fishing season in 1877, IS establishments on the Columbia river put up 42S,7S0 cases, each containing four dozen one-pound can?. The sdmon fishing in the gulf of St. Lawrence is estimated as worth .$500,000 a year. MACKUKKL. The waters if Massachusetts bay are full of this fish. Its colors are beau tiful when alive, but no sooner than it is caught its lustre begins to disap pear. It is a voracious feeder, and its growth is rapid. Mackerel run in "schools" from the 10th of May through the summer, and when a vessel has the luck to meet one of these, lines with bait are lowered, and the fish may be drawn in as fast as the arm can work. The first half hour of mackerel fishing is fun, (we once went mackerel fishing, and forgot the world and its cares) especially for those who lish for the fun of the thing. There is no chance for the use of unhallowed interjections in mackerel fishing; no profane expletives for ministering spirits to report to heaven's chancery, as in the case of angling when fish are scarce, for the recording angel to put into the same category with Uncle Toby's oath, to be wiped out with a sympathizing tear. A ''salting" trip takes some two months; a "fresh' trip about three days.
