An editorial in this paper a day or two ago" concerning the Oregon militia caused some adverse coiun'C-iii, ' the ground being taken that ther.j is not now, and can never be any use far ths militia as far at least as the Indian? itr'i concerned. As far as the Indian in this immediate neighborhood are con cerned this is probably true; but the dispatches to-day show that at Pocatella trouble is feared, and they also show that the Messiah craze, or the bad feel iug between the Indians and whites which it creates, at least, is spreading to all the Indian tribes. Sarah Winne- muocca wrote some time ago that run hers had been sent to the Piutes, and there is no doubt but that one of these same runners is now dancing with the Indians here, or has been of for the last few days. We do not anticipate any serious trouble with the Indians in Ore gon, but at the same tune we believe that the militia should be armed and equipped, so that they can be placed in the field on short uotiee. Just now there ib a small shadow of war with England, and it might become necessary to pro tect our property from the English mar ines within the next thirty days. Should war with England be declared this would certainly happen as the country would have to defend itself while wait ing for the government to send troops to cur aid. We are not at all fearful of war happening with England even if the English diplomat has gotten a little the best of the argninent in the Behring sea matter, but we mention the fact to show that the state of Oregon needs to keep her militia on a decent footing, and in shape that it can take the field if called upon. If this cannot be done the next best thing is to disband the regiments.' They are no good without arms and equipments, and the amount of money, expanded on them now is a pure waste, unless more is but with it and they are put in condition to fight if called upon. Thirty or forty thousand dollars would accomplish this result, and we believe the state should make the expenditure. WHEN THE FATES PERMIT. One of those cases which illustrate the ups and downs of life, and the liability of man to the fluctuating tide of circum stance was called to our attention this morning. Eleven years ago a carpenter named Frederick Eadelfinger lived at Goldendale. He added to his earnings by furnishing music for parties, etc., be ing a fair musician, but work was scarce. and circumstances turned against him. lie fell sick, and soon his money was ex hausted. He was boarding with Cleaves & Carey, the same Jack Cleaves now at Centerville, and being unable to work was kept by them. When he got able to gej around he found himself in debt to them for board in the sum of nearly a hundred dollars, wiih no work and no prospect of any. Promising to settle his bill when able he hired out to drive a band of cattle to" Cheyenne. From there he returned to California his old home, and after a time started a small grocery. After a year or so he got on his feet financially and sent $100 to Cleaves & Carey. Soon after this, while- hunting in the mountains he discovered a quartz ledge, developed it, put a mill on it and to-day it takes seven figures to represent his wealth. Eleven years is not a long time, but it is capable of allowing many changes if the blind creature, Kismet, .gets in her fancy work. Mr. Eadel finger arrived here the other day and from his friends the Filloon brothers we heard the above story. He left for home Wednesday after a pleasant visit here. LEGISLATIVE PROBABILITIES. An Oregonian correspondent at Salem ;gives the following forecast oi the legis lative organization : "The contest for speaker of the house has merged into a triangular fight, with Representative J. M. McCall, of Jackson county, an aspirant for the honor. Rep resentative Geer, of Marion; is making a lively canvass and feels assured of win ning, although Story of Multnomah, has considerable more than his home delega tion at his back and is looked upon as leading in the race. But if Simon is chosen president of the senate, Mr. Sfory's chances for speaker are nil." "Among the many aspirants for minor offices the following are the most promi nent," "Secretary of the senate, O. P. Miller and F. C. Middleton ; sergeant-at-arms of the senate, M. Pomeroy ; reading clerk, J . B. Eddy ; doorkeeper of the senate, J. McCormack and Herbert Hatch. "In the house, C. B. Watson, of Jack son county, R. R. Hays, of Tilliamook, and Glen Holman of Multnomah, are named for chief clerk with Hays decidedly a favorite of the trio. A. W. Drager, of Marion wants to be doorkeeper. Col. Nevius of Wasco, will hardly have any opposition for reading clerk of the house, unless he should possibly be chosen chief clerk instead. T.itt.la in vet oiiiH na to engrossing or enrolling clerks for either branch of the legislature. Master earnest Wilson a. bright-eyed Salem Youth, is canvassing for a olace in the house as page, and will doubtless get one ot tnese appointments The amount of wheat handled by the L nion Pacific railroad at this point is in round numbers 240,000 tons per year and yet the railroad company treats us as though The Dalles -was a whistling sta tion. In fact the whole course of treat ment prescriljed for ua indicates that the railroad would like to cinch us to death if it could. With an average of 670 tons of freight handled here every day, it would seem that the company would appreciate the place and try to assist in building it up as well as holding on to it It is doing neither, but is treating us in sucn a manner that whenever there is any other way of having communication with the rest of the world, the Union Pacific will find that its treatment has borne a legitimate result, and that its trade will be lost. The freight rates from Portland are enormous, and the passenger dervice ia Jfttle better than none. A line of boats on the river will wake the com pany up to the importance of this trade and from present appearances, this awakening will take place early in the sprmg. There is an old saying that "Cows far off wear long horns." The truth ful ness of the remark is exemplified every day in common affairs. Smith and Jones living two miles apart on the banks of the creek will take their fish poles for a days outing. Smith will go up to Jones' to where the fishing is better, and Jones will go down to Smiths' where the fish are more plentiful. We see another ex emplification of it in our schools. We have here in our Wasco Academy one of the best schools in the state. Its merit is acknowledged, and pupils are sent here from all over the state. It is too close at home however and many of our people send their children to other points to school. There is another saying that "far fetched and dear bought pleases "the ladies,' and it also seems to please parents, who while they could give their children the benefit of our own school, which is the equal of any in the state, prefer to send them away at considerable more expense. There is no use kicking about it, because people are built that way, and the man or woman, who has not a large sized bump of perverseness, is of too angelic mold for earth. The political machine seems to be run ning with "hot boxes" in most of the states. Montana has three houses and no organization f New Hampshire has a house full and more too, having a con tmgent of "if entitled" members: Michigan is fighting for the speakershin of the house, while Nebraska is on the verge of war or the insane asylum. In the latter the speaker of the house, an Alliance man, ordered the lieutenant- governor placed under arrest, while the lieutenant-governor defied the sneaker and refused te he arrester!. Wo ro dently developing some of the traits of our ouiiui American neignDors. George W. Hunt is an exceedingly nara man lor tne newspapers to keep track of. An article announcing that he has floated his bonds, and is again on top is no sooner set up than the telegraph brings word that his property is attached. tie seems to De one ot those fellows that cannot be kept down and we hone h will pull himself together in time to be gin work on the road from Hunt's junc tion to Portland in the early spring. It is said that Mitchell is thinking seriously of incorporating in order to protect herself, and to put a check on crime. The Prineville papers both think it would be a good move, and if it will have this effect we join with them heartily. In this connection it is proper to remark that a general incorporation law is needed to fit just such cases as Mitchell's, and we hope some ot.our law makers will introduce a bill providing for this.

The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping point in America, about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped this year. THE VINEYARD OF OREGON". J" The country -near The Dalles produces splendid crops of cereals, and its fruits cannot be excelled. It is the vineyard of Oregon, its grapes equalling Cali fornia's best, and its other fruits, apples, pears, prunes, cherries etc., are unsurpassed. ITS PRODUCTS. The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding this year a revenue of $1,500,000 which can and will be more than doubled in the near future. The products of the beautiful Klickital valley find market here, and the country south and east has this year filled the warehouses, and all available storage places to overflowing with their products.
