Fort Klamath
We understand tbatthrSecrsUTy of
War has lately issued orders to aban
don Several of the Government posts,
among which is Fort Klamath, Ore
eon, ard we think be has eftiwir shown
poor judgment, or else been il advised
by other parties in regard to Fort
Klamath. Since this order- has been
issued ws fcsve' been in constant re
ceipt of loud remonstrances from the
settlers of that faft of the country
entirely unprotested from" the nutn
crous predatoryihandg'jPPrto, who
are onl) kept in subjection by the
presence of au armed force sufficient
to overawe any attempt at lawless
ness In our estimation, any parties
suggesting the abandonment of Fort
KUniath either are endeavoring to
make polirrcal capital or are in an at
tempt to make a cheap reputation for
econemy, that would prove very much
the contrary, as the massacre of Gen.
Cauby is still fresh in the memory of
OiPgon; and to ajstlti leave the settlers
unprotected by militia, voul'J bo like
leaving a babe it? ibe haudi of some
savage animal. Thefort is Totaled in
a thinly settled portion of the State,
about 4000 feet above the sea level ou
an open plain. Thtf grjund during
the whole year is covered with frost,
and it is impossible to utilize this land
for farmiug purposes. The only um
which can be mado of it is for grazing.
The natural resources are alnioUeuliie
ly undeveloped, and the Indian agency
is six miles distant, where Iarg-t bodies
of Indians live, whoso pursuits are of
the most peaceable nature, OT.-rng to
the simple and convincing fact that
any uprising would be promptly quelled
by the military authorities qunrtertd
in close proximity; and there is no
reasonable doubt that the spirit of
peace now so prevalent among tha
citizens, as well as the Indiuti would
be seriously disturbed by abandoning
the roM. There is no denying that
the natural antipathy existing letwttn
. ' " t
whites tnd Indian, generally taJeir in
connection with thu fact that the
nearest fort would be disUnt several
days journey, would encourage the In
diaus to drprtdalion, or to summarily
resent real or fancied rnftfrics. This,
of course, would cause bloodshed,
and possibly a prolonged and expen
sive 'ar, destructiye ulike to tht'pres
ent and future prosperity of the coun
try. While the country is sparsely
settled, still it will rapidly advArce,
provided the settlers Can he made to
feel that the government will protect
them. Under such circumstances the
development will be such that in' time
the fort can be abandoned and the
country still governed.

A Snake Story.
l'h almost incredible storY recent
ly printed-about the death of a boy
near Grand Falls, Maine, from hemor
rhage caused by pulling from his
mouth a live snake which had grown
to his flesh proves to be literally true.
The lads name was George Murichson,
and his age is 8 years. He was
bright little" fellow, and lived with his
parents on a farm about four miles
from the town. Early last winter the
boy began to act strangely tick. He
had a moat v qracinus appetite, and it
was impossible for him to get- enough
to rat. Hid friends got alarm ( about
it and sent for physicians, who began
dosing him for worms. As the winter
wore on the boy grew worse and worse.
One day he fu'.t something crawling
up from his stomach into his throat.
He almost choked to death, for the
crawling creature tried ineffectually to
come out by the nasal passage. In a
short lime the snake (for such it vra)
forced his way up-the boy' b throat and
stuck its head out of his mouth. The
lad's sister who was ntarby, saw the
had of the serpent just boforo i'. drew
back into the boj's mouth. Vvry soon
the s'iake stuck his head out a second
time, and his lit1 le sister made a grab
at it and pulled fiom the l.oy's mouth
a live snake fourteen inch' s long. It
hail a piece of llcsh at'ehed to its tail
nearly a-! large as a hen's egg. Tl e
bov lived a short timer only after the
snake was taken f.-om him, dying of
violent hemorrhage. It is supposed
that the boy hud gone to sleep in some
field and that the snake bud crawled
down his throat. The reptile has been
Dreserved in alcohol.
Governor Siriuford of Alaska,
who has gone Co' Washington makes an
interesting report of the managoment
ot affairs it that territory. There is a
law prohibiting tha importation of
whiikey into the territory, yet very
inferior whisky is cairied tl ere and
sold at prices rangina from 8 to 512
per gallon, thus aff'iding an enormous
profit to the liqtl'of dealer. Governor
Sniceford hid occupied the govern
ment house but a. littli while when the
outgoing marshal presented him with a
bill for the furniture in the house, am
ounting to over 200. Afterpayiuglhe
t'ill the goverrror' learned that the
furniture belonged to the government,
!-ut it was too late to recover his
money, as the ex marshal had' ab
sconded. It nasr also beerr ascertain d
that thu former officials' have been
in the habit of riding on the steam
ships on passes and then collecting
money from the government a'jif they
had paid their expenses. These peo
ple thought that the governor was un
necessarily squeamish and particular
when he declined to follow the prac
tice of his thrifiy prjdecessors.
We say to readers that we" believe
that the intuition and duty of all
kinds of popuTar government is to
promote the interests and protect the
rights of the misses of the people.
Fur us to accomplish' this it is our
duty look out for the interrstests of
our own people before thove of Canada
or Europe 6r Asia, and that to do" so
properly will set tne American' labor
high above that nf foreign nations'.
But besides this, inasmuch produc
tive industry is the hub of the nation
al wheel, it raHst not only be protected
but diversified, and its dcme.tio' hind
erances removed that the labor employ
ed in the pursuance of its varisd inter
ests shall have a just share in the
benefits to be derived, so that labsr
shall stand on the same plan as capital
sofar a government protection reacbes
and that labor then must enter upon
pits own broail Gdld of rffirt which
offers reward to every industry, tem
perance sad education; so that he wlo
k will may buildand engrav-R golden-
letters on ths battlements of time.

"wctks, agtl tiTenty-ninc years, two
mouths acd one day.
She was born at the G'rman M. E.
parsonage in Springfield,-Ills., April 7,
1857, and in th" eleventh year gave
her heart to Christ and openly unitstr
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
of which she remained a member until
the end of herearthly pilgrimage. Less
than one year ago she gave her hand
in marriage to her now bereaved hus
baud, and they both left this city with
bright hopes for a long prosperous anil
useful career at their new home. Ala,
how futile are all hum-in anticipation--!
Her illness bad its origin in prematcVe
confinement, her child surviving but
four hours. Ten "or more years of her
riper maidenhood she was very useful
as a Sunday School worker, and the
members of her clashes in JacksonvUlle
and in our German mission school in
Portland, will nevor forget the pre
cepts of her example and teaching. Iu
disposition she was gently kind and
unassuming. Prominent in her relig
ious character was a strict conscious
ness, combined with a quiet, hopeful
cheerfulness. To her venerable pa
rents, her beloved husband, her three
nrotuers and one sister,, with many
other friends, her memory is precious,
and they may well cherish the rich
legacy of an upright, cbris tan life she
has left to the-m. Appropriate funer

The railroad construction superin
tendents are troubled a good deal with
the white hands they have been em
ploying lately, most of them working
only a day or two after being passed
up over the road fiom below, other
wise the work would go on faster. The
company are therefore compelled to
depend maiulj ou their Chinese hand,
and are tjffngni'g' up all tire' Chinamen
that can be engaged anywhere on the
coast, to put the road through speedilv.
The grading has been completed for
a long distance above the end of pres
ent terminus .at Gibson's and if the
bridges are built as speedily above
Southern's as below, it will not be
long before trains can run up to Bail
ey'n oda Sprius.
The railroad men expect to have the
road completed to Sim Southern's,
(Huxel Creek) by the l"st of July, to
which point passengers and express
matter will be delivered and received,
thereby reducing the distance between
railroads to 1 10 miles. This will leave
only about 9 or 10 miles more road
building to' reach Biiley's, which
point it is claimed, will be rtaclietl by

Why Eve Didn't Need A
Girl
A lady writer in one .of our ex
changes furnishes sormr res-snns why
Eve did not keep a girl. She says:
"There has been a great dfal said
about thu fault of Women, arid1 why
they need so much -vaitinjf on. Some
one, a nian of course,, has tfc pr
sumption to ask, 'Whv, when Ev waa
manufactured out of a spare rib, a
servant was not manufactured- to- wais
on heit' She didn't need any servant.
A bright writer has said: 'Adam never
came vv hining to Evo with a ragged
stocking to be darned, button' to-ba-seeded
on, and glov'es to h mended
right away quiek now.' He never
read the newspapers until the sun went
down behind the palm trees, and be,
stretching himself, yawned out, 'Is
supper ready, dear.' He made the
lire and hung the kettle over it himself,
we'll venture pulled the radishes', peeled1
the potatoes-, and did everything elu'
he ought to do. lie milkej the cows
and fed the chickens' looked a.ttr thu
pig himself, and never brought horns
half a dozen friends to dinner when
Eve hadn't any fresh poinogrutitttes.
Ho nevaY stayed out till' one o'c'otl: n'.
niht and tien sco'ded bccau.e E-e'
sitting up and crying iniwe1 tle twvtp.
Ho never loafed around corntr gro
ceries while Eve was rocking little
Cain's cradle at home. He never
called Eve up from the cellar to' put
aw ay his slippirs; not he. When he
took them off he put them under tha
fig tiee beside his Sunday boots. In
short, he did not think she was especT'
ally created lor the purpose of waiting
upon him, and he wasn't under tb
impression th tt it disgraced a man to
iighten his wife's cares a little. That
is the reason Eve did not need a hired
girl, and with it is; the reason that hot
decendents did.'

Every one remembers well, who iai"
passed that way,? ibe olu New Yb'fc
House, which standi a short distanco
below tho foot of Scott mountain, in"
Trinity Valley. It is situated in ohe
ofihemo3t lon'y and un-frequehted
spots to be found in this region, for
merly it served a3 a stopping plate, for
trav lers and teamsters, liut 61 luc
j ears it has been deserted altogether
save by an occasional tiaaip o' hunter
that took rtfuge in there for" a singln
night. Last week it touk fire end
burned down; curiosity prompted
some of the passers by to look at tho'
ruins, when to there amazsment the'
outlines of a gravo weie discovered
beneath where once stood the house.
A croMof persohs was eoon collecteJ
and the grave opened, when tneskel
ton of a human being was discovered
that must have lain there" the last'
twenty years or liiore. And nbrt the
question is who is the myserinus dead
that has been burried beneath the old
New York housel What murder and
robbery t'bok place there so' long- ago'
that all the traces of the missing one is'
lost? Already we hear the first of tha'
numerous stories that will spring up'
concerning this ruvstery. It is said
that about twenty yrirs ago a man
left Indian Creek mining cirf.p with
a large sum of money and was last
about half w-a) down Scott mountain,
since which tiuio he ha3 noVer been
beard froif. It will bo strange' indeed
if after aU these silent years this mat
lers hould be traced up and brought'
to light. One thing is ccatain, viz,,
a murder has taken place at this sp6t,
and the victims bones wero burried
beneath this old wayside stopping
place. "Scott Vallsy 'News."
