Briggs, and now if I die my wife and little ones are now ii I die my wife and tittle ones are sure of money sngugU to carry them U0. tot yeari " 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."

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. The taking of so many able bodied men from the heart of tbe white settlements, the hazards at tending a winter campaign against and Ends I I, I, it ' it !, 1 1, la, it 1 1, I, & CO. 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.

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. PRICE OF PELTS.
