THE PONY EXPRESS.
Saturday's Salem Statesman has a
yery well written article concerning
the pony' express riders, and their
terrible dangers among the Piutes in
1860. There is only one thing the
matter with the article, and that is
that whoever wrote it had a wonder
fully fertile imagination. The !Piutes
were never on the warpath, never
hurt anybody but once, and tried
their best to avoid that. No pony
express riders were killed by Indi
ans in Nevada, and the only one
even badly scared 'was Al Jewett,
who rode the station from Carson
City to Fort Churchill, and he was
scared, as it afterward proved, by a
white man, whom he in turn nearly
scared to death, the affair being mu
tual.
In the spring of 1860 the whites
had tiouble with the Piutes, and a
mob with Col. Ormsby at its head,
went down to Pyramid lake to kill
the whole tribe. The Indians put
up a nag of truce and did not want
to fight, but the mob charged them
and got badly whipped in about five
minutes as a result. Then old "Win
nemucca, their chief, immediately
reported to Indian Agent Dodge
disclaiming any intent of ' fighting
the whites, but asserting that he was
compelled to kill some of them in
self-defense. The war ended with
that battle of Pyramid lake. East of
Salt Lake trouble with the Indians is
said to have occurred, causing the
death ot a few , pony express riders,
tut in Nevada, never. There was a
station keeper killed near Gravelly
Ford, on the Humboldt, and some
others had more or less trouble, but
this was with the Shoshones, and not
the Piutes. The express riders were
not bothered.
The greatest danger the boys car
rying the express had to face was
the whiskey,- which in those days had
the reputation of being deadly at
forty lods. The letters were , not
carried on the backs of the express
riders, but were securely fastened in
pockets in the mechares, (we spell
the word by ear) the leather which
fitted over 'the saddle as a cov
ering. At the stations the horses
were always saddled, the only thing
changed being the "macheres," which
were lifted from one saddle to the
other. .
BEGIN AT HOME.
If you want your town to grow
patronize your own people. No mat
ter what work you want done,
there are artisans of mechanics at
home who can do the woik, give i
to them. Keep your money at home.
where in its circulation it has a
chance to come back to you. "We
are not in the habit of giving free
advertisements of any particular
trade or business, but point out one
recently-established industry here to
point a moral. It is a small affair, i
is true, but it furnishes employment
to one or two people here, instead of
in Portland, and that is the cleaning
and dye works started in the East
End a few months ago. The propri
etor has a process of cleaning carpets
on the floor that is cheaper than the
carpet can 'be taken up and re-laid
for, let alone being sent to Portland.
He does excellent work, too, and yet
' his patronage is small He also dyes
for a living, if we may venture .the
paradox, and his work is-ininently
satisTactory. He deserves patronage
because his work . is good, and he
should have it because his is a home
institution.
t
If protection is a good thing, we
certainly should apply the principle
to our local affairs. No matter what
business is established here, patronize
it and foster it; build up The Dalles
instead of some other town by keep
ing your money here, instead of
sending it away. Employ 3'oui own
citizens instead of some other town's
citizens. This is the way to make
your town grow, and the only way.
Whether the particulpr business we
have mentioned remains here or not,
is of course a very small' matter, but
business begets business, and all
great objects, whether in nature or
business, are composed of many
atoms.
SENATOR MITCHELL SPEAKS.
Correspondents of the Oregonian
demanded that at the banquet to Mr.
Hirsch, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, Senator
Mitchell state plainly his views on
the silver question, and whether or
not he would vote against monkey
ing with the silver question unless in
the nature of international bimetal-
ism. The banquet came' "off 'Sntur
day night, and there Senator Mitchell
used the following language, presum
ably in answer to their requests, and
in responding: to the toast "The
President Elect:"
It was these same things, in con
nection with his record as a private
soldier and officer in the war of the
rebellion, and hi? well known views
upon the financial question, and
every other public question involved
in the recent campaign, aided by his
modest and dignified personal bear
ing during the campaign, and the ad
mirable character of his campaign
speeches, and by the aid not only of
Republicans throughout the country.
but of those of former political affili
ations, the friends of law and order,

influences and these instrumentalities
that he secured not only a large ma
