The Nucleus of Hostile Nez Perces Vanquished
The article notes Miles recent victory over the Nez Perces near the British line. It argues the destruction reduces the threat to settlers, dampens Sioux raids, and boosts confidence, trade, and immigration in the Northwest coast region. It also mentions Mr. Cooper’s four acres of wheat yielding sixty two bushels per acre and a local note about Kelly pursuing Judge Hollister.
