Walla Walla Items On Turbulent Indian Affairs
A report from Walla Walla describes Gen. O. O. Howard meeting with Joseph and a Lenape group, aims to quell discontent at Lapwai, and plan talks at other agencies. Howard travels by steamer to Lewiston en route to Lapwai Avenue to meet Joseph and discuss justice, coercion, and peace. The piece notes Howard’s pulpit visit at Congregational church and contrasts kindly treatment with the need for stern justice. It mentions California emigration warnings, wheat and flour prices, and a regional market outlook for bread and wheat.
