They should, if possible, be located upon the Fort Hall reservation in Idaho, where some steps could be taken to advance them in civilization. The Indians on the Pacific slope are divided as follows: in Washington Territory, about 14,000; in Oregon, 12,000; in California, 22,000.
At nine o'clock, a flash of hope lighted up the gloom that had settled on her heart. The Snider twins, two tiny black dots, side by side like quotation marks, appeared distinctly against the vivid green of their father's wheat field and continued to advance upon the school-house, until they were but half a mile away.
"Don't you s'pose I could tell the difference between Pocahontas and and well, Johnston, you cussed fool, I'll never be able to call this infernal town by its right name again. I am going to retire." We remained at that hotel but one day, not being able to make satisfactory rates, besides being dunned for our board in advance.
Well, for the next two days that wood wasn't healthy for either side. The Germans couldn't get back, because we were sprinkling the whole place with shrapnel. We couldn't advance for similar reasons. Simcox just lay in his shell hole. He tied up his leg somehow. He had some brandy in a flask as well as his iron rations. But he hadn't much tobacco. There were only two cigarettes in his own case.
The advance of Clark had been more rapid than was expected. They would not only have all the Piqua men with them, but many more warriors from distant villages who had not yet arrived. The fire was now permitted to die down, the crowd broke up and the chiefs walked away to their lodgings.

"Move slowly forward," were the orders which Grover gave to his command, "until the enemy opens fire. Then advance rapidly, give them one volley, and then the bayonet." The five regiments moved steadily through the wood in a single line. When they reached the edge they saw immediately before them the red earth of the embankment, at this point ten feet high and lined with riflemen.
As the medial moraines rest upon that part of the glacier which moves fastest, they of course advance much more rapidly than the lateral moraines. The terminal moraines consist of all the débris brought down by the glacier to its lower extremity.
At last, on 11th May, the place was again assaulted, this time at mid-day; and owing to the short distance from the advance trench to the breach, the Chinese troops of all kinds were able to come to close fighting with the Taepings without any preliminary loss.
During the following month the Russian advance toward the Carpathians, for the second time in the war, continued steadily. It was apparent that General Brusiloff, unlike his predecessors in command, was well supplied with effective artillery and ammunition in plenty, and that the vast resources of the Russian Empire had been at last successfully mobilized for attack.
