The Indian situation in Eastern Or
egon looks serious, and an outbreak is
expected at any time. We most earn
estly caution our Eastern Oregon set
tlers to be strictly vigilant and oa the
alert. They should make tho most
thorough and complete organisation,
and should look to it that every man
who can carry an arm is supplied.
They can't afford to be run awsy from
their hemes and leave their property to be
destroyed as was the case last year, and
as the threatened emerceacy a rain
promises.

Turner of Pendleton, is doing his best
to organize militia companiee in his
Brigade section, and with an active
co-operation ou the part of his subor
dinate officers we tope to see an ef
fective organization of the citizens of
that quarter before next spring.
We are no alarm est, but we most
earnestly warn our Eastern Oregon
neighbors against their threatened dan
ger, and trust they will heed their
warning.

Among the bills passed by the late
Legislature of Oregon, and which has
since become a law, is an act relating to
property of married women, which
provides that property owned by a
woman at the time of marriage, or ac
quired thereafter by gift, devise or in
heritance, shall not be subject to debts
or .contracts of the husband, and the
wife may manage, sell, convey, and de
vise the same as the husband can his
property. The property of either hus
band or wife shall not be liable for
debts or contracts of the other. Ac
tion may be maintained by husband or
wife against the other fjr tho re;jvry
of property for which the other has ob
tained possession; thesameasif they were
unmarried. Forcivilinjuries committed
by the wife, damages can be recovered
of her alone, except in cases where she
is jointly responsible. Conveyances of
liens from one to the other shall be
valid. One may constitute the other
his or her attorney, to act for mutual
benefit or attorney in fact. The wife
may recover the wages ef ber personal
labor in her own name. Neither is lia
ble for the debts of the other incurred
before marriage. Expenses of family
and education of children shall be
chargeable on property of bth basband
and wife, or of either of them.
