Seattle Tribune Am EloaaataBt Not many months ago the wifo of ono M. J. ltickert obtained a divorce from her husband in tho courts of San Fran cisco. She was allowed tho custody of their two children and provided for them as best she could until making tho ac quaintance of a bellows maker named Swott whom she subsequently married. Tlio woman and her husband came to Portland, where they resided for a time, then moved to Hast Portland, where Swott went to work at his business, and by industry nnd economy endeavored to make them a decent living. The woman's first husband kept posted us to her whereabouts aid followed her to this city under the assumed name of M. J. Itei'.ly. He engaged as a sewing ma chine agent, nnd while pursuing his daily routine, found nieuiis to communi cate with hi former wife.

Tho distinguished savngo who lately sull'erod death at tho hands of tho law, and the end of a ropo paid for by Umatilla county, is not so much to bo pitied since the Kast Oregoniiui says this: "On Saturday last Ouit-it-ttmips' squaw brought him n scarlet suit and nn elabo rately beaded pair of moccasins, in which to be execute!. On receiving them the doomed Indian said ho was ready to die nt any time." Tho question arises whether this happy condition of mind was the result of' personal vanity at being prepared to take the field in the futiKii hunting ground with nil elaborate costume to make the spirits of tho de parted just before him envious nnd ns tonislt tho Cnyuso chiefs who left the range a hundred years ago chid only in fuss, feathers and skins, or whether the condemned Siwash felt a thrill of emo tion nt being thus remembered by his faithful squaw, who jsjrhaps worked her fingers to tho quick by firo light these short winter days, to prepare his last nnd most elaborate toilet It is even possible that tho faithful dame gave a sociable or a sowing 1km-, nt which tho Indian women of the trilsj brought their skill in ncedlo work to bear upon tho subject, and no doubt tho scarlpt cloth was pur chased by contributions fioiu admiring friends of tho condemned, who meant thereby, in heartfelt tones, to givo him a good send oft". Quit-it-truraps I was prob ably the exclamation his friends uttered when they saw him swing. It would havo been a disgrace to have him hung in shabby apparel, but beads and scarlet mado the atTair creditnble to all con cerned. Even his widow must, by this timo, bo looking out for another whom sho can hope to see hung with equal eclat and self content. Tho point wo sco in this is that hanging is no punish ment to an Indian who can swing in beaded moccasins and a scarlet suit. His vanity carries him through tha ordeal aud thu fame of his good clothes lives nfter him. Some mora satisfactory end than tho and of it rope must bo found, or else Indian women must lo prohibited from tho purchase of beads and crimson cloth. Let this business bo come fashionable in Cnyuse circles, nnd wo shall have murders continually com mitted. If wo value white men's lives some precaution is necessary and some action urgent. Indian e.xcutious have especial value to newspapers in search of items, but even that should lie held sec onds.. v us compared with the lives of really lit -t elans citizens.- Portland lice. ALASKA- T'.e Ronnl of Trade last evening adopted a memorial to Congress, setting forth that the Kiith of Alaska have drawn their chief supplies from this city; that during the rule of the mili tary there was 11 semblance of authority there nnd security for trade ; that with out any law for the colhs.-tiou of debts our mcrchuuts have sold goods to mer chtintjfthrrc, relying on their good faith, with thu expectation that such tmib-rs should have military protection ; since the withdrawal of thu nrniy theii) hits been no protection in Alaska for life or property, much to the lobs of trade in Portland, ns the Alaska mer chants have been obliged to withdraw ; some of our citizens have mado eriua nent homes then-, canning salmon or de veloping mineral resources, etc., ami our relations are necessarily intimate for va rious reasons, and under these circum stances tho Hoard of Trade ask thutsnuio form of government be enacted for that territory, to givo protection to is-nple aud guarantee of safety to trade. The Hoard proceeded to endorse the rrenm moudutioti of the Hon. Secretary of the Treasury for better form of government and the construction of un armed vessel to arry out government orders; also the bill introduced by Senator Mitchell appropriating .?!7.r,000 for construction of slab it vessel. This memorial covets iiuiHirtaut giound, and the facts presented an- so obvious that Congress must lecogniei tlio need of action to secure good gov-1 eminent of Alaska for piotectiou of: lives and pios-rty, and encouragement of trade. If the territory has any value ' whatever, it should be protected and en-, conniged by proper safeguards for life nnd property. Portland Hee. j HKKirr DALE'S ACCOUNTS SET TLED. H. D.
