TOO. TERRIBLE.
VV. W, Rockhill,; director of the Bu
reau of American Republics, who served
in China as Secretary of Legation, says :
"This is something new in the history
of China. Foreigners have never before
been publioly executed, and we can by
analogy imagine. what has happened to
foreign women and children in Pekin.
We know that in the civil wars of China
the greatest barbarity was practiced,
and it has been the knowledge of what
might be expected which has given rise
to the custom of the conquered party
putting to death its women and children
before surrendering. ....
"No doubt the dispatch tells but i
small portion of the horrors of the spec
tacle in Pekin. It was only a matter of
time, anyway, and what followed was
the common practice of barbaric and
half-civilized nationB. Had they been
merely imprisoned, their condition
would have been pitiable enough. - Any
one who has read of the capture and the
tortures imposed upon Lord Loch and
Sir Harry Parkes in 1860, and who
knows that the Chinese prisons have
not been improved in the last 40 years,
can appreciate in part the sufferings
which foreign residents in Pekin must
have endured in the last month.
"There is little use in trying to portray
what indignities were heaped upon the
victims before death released them.
Without question, they were horrible
beyond the immagination of civilized
man. Their captors add to the cruelty
of the Asiatic the demoniac ingenuity of
a race that is almost civilized, a race
which appropriates the arts of white
men without appreciating them, i The
tale to come from Pekin when entrance
is gained by foreign troops will be one
unequalled in shudder-forcing qualities
since the days "of the Sepoy rebellion."

her destination was given out as Manila,
but the complications in China have be
come so serious tbat she has been or
dered to Kobe for orders. If the situa
tion should tone down a little by the
time she - reaches the Japan port, she
will undoubtedly proceed to Manila, but
if her cargo is needed at the seat of the
new war, she will be within a few days'
steering of where it will do the most
good; The Lennox has on board 370
horses and 100 mules, in charge of Dr.

YAKIMA WAR, ,
C. H. "Walkers in Native . Son
Magazine, says:
T. 2- 1 -ii
xji is . uaxuijr possiDie, alter eo
many years, to realize tbe intense
anxiety that pervaded the minds of
the settlers of. the North Pacific
coast during the winter of 1855-56.
There were hostile Indians in
(Southern Oregom in the whole
country eaBt of the Cascade moun
tains and along Pueet sound, readv
ror war, ana seemingly acting m
concert.
The immediate cause of the
Yakima war, briefly told, is as
follows:
Three miners eoios to the Col-
ville mines from Puget Sound, were
murdered in the fall of 1855 by
some of the Yakima tribe. :
Sub-Indian Agent A. J. Bolen
went out to investigate the matter
and was treacherously murdered.
Major Haller, with 100 men. left
The Dalles Oct. 2, to inquire into
the cause of i hostility. On the
afternoon of the 6th, when about
60 miles northward of The Dalles,
he was attacked ; by 1500 Indians
and forced to retreat to The Dalles,
after some hard fighting and a very
narrow escape from a general mas
sacre of himself and men., f.Major
Haller immediately called for a re
inforcement of 1000 men. - AH the
available D S. troops ic Oregon
and Washington were not sufficient
to meet the demand, hence Major
Raines t called . upon - Governor
Mason, of Washington, for two
companies, and Governor Ourryj of
Oregon, for four companies of vol
unteers to take the field as fast. as
raised and equipped. ,' 4
Atort Vancouver there were
only enough arms to equip two
Oregon companies.
Governor Curry saw fit to call
or eight companies, most ?11 of
whom had to famish their own
horses, guns, saddles and blankets.
1 hese volunteers had every rea-
san to believe they could accom
plish more in fighting Indians, not
to be under the command of ' tbe
regular army officers, hence decided
not to be mustered into the service
of the United States, but gave the
regulars to understand that they
were ready to co-operate with them
at any and all times. The stand
they took brought down upon them
the ire of Gen. Wool, who finally
declared to Col. Nesmith, "I have
no authority to either employ or
reoeive volunteers into the service
of the United States.''
In spite of the differences that
existed the volunteers made such
an active campaign that within a
year from the time the war com
menced, their services were no
longer requiied, and on Oct. 3,
1856, they were disbanded.

bodied men from the heart of tbe
white settlements, the hazards at

bloody savages in their own coun
try, and the possibility of a raid
from some of these Indians, by
some of the mountain passes or
some or the trails across the Cas
cade range, kept the Bettlers in a
constant state of suspense.
i Well do I remember how many
an evening, as the shadows began
k xaii, we eagerly scanned the
mountain peaks around Forest
Grove to see if anv sienal fires
were lighted.
Thus the winter wore awav until
in May, a rumor came that a large
body of Indians were deecendioi?
uewis river, norm 01 tneuoiumbia.
.n their canoes, expecting to cross
WV.rt J l t n
uc wuuuy, uuu, uy way 01 ocap-
poose plains, come out and murder
the settlers on the Tualatin plains.
All was excitement and even
consternation. The able-bodied
men organized what was called
!!The Washington Home Guards."
ine election of omcers was held
under the oaks near the house of
William Catching, 1 miles east of
Forest Grove. All the men were
drawn up in line. Each candidate
took his stand opposite to and fac
ing the men, when each man in the
line Walked over and stood bv his
favorite. The one having the most
men won the office.
It was at first determined to
enclose the academy building that
stood where now stands "Marsh
Memorial Hall." with a stockade.
and a trench was dug about 30 fet
from and along tbe northwest side
and north end of the building, but
there the work was discontinued;
it was thought a better place for
shelter was a large, though un
finished frame house of Wm. Cater
ing's that stood near his log cabin.
ine most intense of the excite
ment came on a Sunda', and so all
day long the woods north of where
Corneilus now stands echoed to the
noise of axes, saws and falling trees.
A trencb several rods out from
the building was dug on the south
and west Bides and the fir poles,
about ten feet long, were set in
the same, there to stand to no pur
pose until taken away some time
afterward, for by the next or Mon
day morning, word came that the
rumor was false, and no Indians
were coming. The stockade was
abandoned, the guards dispersed
and affairs assumed their normal
condition.
It but proves the intense eravitv
of the situation when it is consid
ered that men who had endured
all the hardships and dangers
of a six-months' journey across the
plains should be wrought up to
that pitch of excitement as to put
forth such frantic efforts to save
themselves and their families in
the so-called peaceful Willamette
valley.
And what shall we say of those
who left their families and under
took a winter campaign, with all

ELECTRIC SAWMILL.
In Tillamook a sawmill has begun
tueinens which proves that the plan of
operating a sawmill by electricity is
feasible. The company generates Its
electricity by water power. The water
is flnmed from a small stream, and runs i
a 50 horsepower water wheel, in connec
tion with which is a dynamo to generate
the electricity to operate the mill. Wires ,
are strung from the power house to the :
sawmill, and attached to the saws and
other machinery of the mill. .
The peculiarity of the electric sawmill ,
is that the carriage is above the log, and
carries two saws. They are so fixed as
to cut both ways, making two cuts at
the same time, and, instead of having to '
bring the carriage back and commence
cutting at the same end each time, the
saws cut as well coming back, and they
cut a log of any size. The mill will cut
lumber at one-half the cost of other
sawmills.
