Mucli 1ms been wild by tin? pres'niid others about the noIicr. nav. - tlie necessity of supporting home -enter prises as a means of relieving the stress of the money market and pit ing Oregon upon tlie high road' to pros perity. AH flint lias lHK-n'-said upon this subject fulls far short ot what mighty he truly sakl. We pnblislied Sunday morning an excellent commu nication on this subject, wHUctyj a leading and intelligent citizen of Salem. " We hope ' thoJeTiodlTot read It will refer bark' to and read it, But there is another side to tlii question, to winch we desire to call attention. The liome manufacturers themselves, liave much to do in de ciding whether tlieir enterprises shall succeed or not ; much more, perhaps tlian they liave generally supposed. Oregon lias always paid a high price lor labor too high, for the general good of the people. Oregonians liave never been content to come down to the scale ot prices prevailing elsewhere, but liave followed the habit of think ing they must obtain the old prices, or tliey will not w ork. Manufacturers used to make large margins of profit, ana titey tuiuk they cannot come down. The man who makes cloth asks nearly tlie price of ten or twelve years ago. The wagon-maker, the plow-maker, the shoemaker, tlie work er in wood, etc., etc., all ask pretty near the old prices. This lias tlie ef fect to let into tlie market eastern manufactures, made by lower-priced labor, to undersell all home products. Oregonians' are just like other peo ple they will buy the goods they can get cheapest, or rather, lor the leas raonev. For instance, they will not STATE XF.WS. I U Ft-uni Dixibj of ,vii(Ji(jDec.

When tlie Superin tendent found that be could not Induce tlie Modoc band to go peaceably upon tlie Reservation, be turned the matter wer to tlic military authorities, with a fruition to avoid bloodshed if posrible. He did not expect, of course, that tlie soldiers would be dispatched after tlie Modocs, so soon as to prevent sufficient notice to all tlie settlers. As soon as lie learned tliat Capt.

' s i :;- Our cltv would be more prosperous if our citizens would stand by and aid ch other. , By way of showing pre cisely what ve mean let us say that the citizens of Salem sliould give tlieir custom unreservedly to Salem mer chants of all sorts aud tliat these mer cliants should give tlieir custom ill turn to .yilera mechanic and niaiiu-factiirer-. i Nothing sliould be brought liere from abroad that cau be Drodueed herff imtHwrloeal dealers sliould give local, producers tlie preterence. J lie professional man should purcliase his sniH)iiestntne city tliat supports hi in by its enstom. By the imrsnance of this policy we would nave a system ot mutual aid the mechanic aiding the merchant, and tlie merchant helping j tin mechanic ; and each class of citi zen aiding each other class in a way that wouki be aure to promote almost Inconceivably the prosperity ot the city. - our mercimuu are suiiiciently nu merous and enterpristug to meet the public demand by bringing as many and as gotxt an assortment of goods to this market as win meet the demands of tlie community. Our prices are as low as the prevailing prices in Port land or other cities on the I 'ae! tic coast, and persons who wish better goods at lower prices can nanny iait to go fur ther and fare worse. As fine furniture as is made any where can be made here, and if suffi cient encouragement were given to this branch of our business we could have thousands of dollars coming from other cities and towns all over tlie Northwest to enrich our city. The farmers of Oregon ought to buy no other reaper and mower than tlie 1 Inb oard, maaojfectured br our own Ore gon Agricultural Works ; for its suc cess last season demonstrated the fact that it Is the only first-class combined machine etver bronght to Oregon, and now its it Is made here, we ought to show our appreciation of It, by not only nsing it ourselves exclusively, and inducing all otliers on this coast to do tbeaame, thereby making the whole coast tributary to us instead of being, as it now is, tributary to the Kastern States. No miller or manufacturer on tlie Pacific roast, if he understands his own interests and lias a proper amount of public spirit thinks of putting any thing in to drive his mills or machin ery other than a Leflel's Double Tur bine water wheel, manufactured by tlie same Oreeon Agricultural Works. This principle should be carried out in every particular patronize home manufacture anil keep our money at home. There Is no reason why Salem should not manufacture all our own agricultural implements, wagons and carriages, our own woolen goods, our own furniture, and our own water wheels; and not only our own In this State, but all wanted on tills coast.

There was some little excitement In Eastern SUklyou on hearing of tlie Modoc outbreak, lest the Pitt river tribe in Kastern and Central Siskivou. which number nearly as many as tlic Modocs. might take a part, but the Indian there arc lietween two tires, The Modocs liave threatened to kill them if they don t help, and they are afraid ot the white settlers. It' the Modocs liad any sliow of success the Pittrlver Indians would certainly join them, but they say that in' less that two moons tlie Modocs will lie all killed off. The following is a description of the lava-bed country, bv C. Y. Doleu. who has liecu tliere. and which Is likely to lie tlie scene of ihe Modoc operations : It is located on the southern shore of Tule lake, and is situated wholly in California, just south of the Oregon boundary line, containing an area of ten miles square, all cut up with fissures deep gulelics and abounding with large caves, tla largest being that known as Ben N right s cave, said to contain lir teen acres of op'ii space underground, in which there is a good spring and many openings which a man can crawl through, tlie mam entrance neing about the size of a common window. Tlie gulclies and crevices rango from a lew leet to a hundred feet in width. a hundred leet ileen. The Indians can travel all through tbi lava country by trails known only to them, and stand on the bluffs over persons one hundred feet beneath, where it would require a long journey to go to them, in tins lava-bed are also small flats luxuriant with bunch grass which cattle find great trouble in reaching by long cir cuitous tracts over rough lava rocks while on tlie outskirts of the lava-bed may continually be found a large amount of stock, the cattle range be ing unsurpassed. The Indians -an see men coming at a distance of five miles without their being s-en. Thev can also let their pursuers come with in a few feet of the blurt ami snoot down, retiring it necessary to other similar bluffs. As to food the Iudians can find all tliey want of cattle Iu ami around the lava-bed, and can also go out on tlic lake in canoes to n-n or shoot game; tlie only thing the Indian lack for a long seige will be ammuni tion for their gnus, but they will make arrows instead. Those pursuing will have to follow tlie Indians on foot, and in journeying through those gulches and crevices to hunt them must expect to find the Modocs on the high bluffs above them on every point or making tlieir way through concealed passages to secure hiding-places. It will re quire tlie greatest cunning and strate gy to capture or exterminate tli Mo docs In this lava section, iiotwithstand ing their insignificant number.
