Any one who has watched public proceedings must be aware of the nlinoat utter ineflleiency of the method of inquiring Into public in stitutions or of investigating wrongs mid abused by committees. "Men re cowards," the women claim, and tiro forever dodging their responsi bilities. Ill fumos are whltwashed and institutions, foul with abuses, even outrages and crimes aro report ed as admirably conducted, by the committees sent to Investigate. AVe all know tho old Htorootyiwd phrases: "Your committee visited, were cor dially received by tho female mnn aners, wo Investigated and found It u little earthly paradise." How shall this bo remedied? Let each committeeman glvo In his rojKirt by himself to a tribunal of three who are sworn to secrecy. Let tho tribu nal report tho rcortu without tho names. Then tho truth will bo got at. Soitui method should bo adopted iu place of tho ridiculous, worthless present one. OriNION, Tlir. MAKKIi. Opinion makes a man, creates or annihilates. Therefore a wrong opinion ought to be comhnttcd, and thu right view introduced. Whence came the Idea that It is discreditable to go to tho)Hor house? It originat ed while such houses were furnished by charity. Our modern poor houses aro no more on such foundations than aro life Insurance ollcles, Odd Fellowship or tire Insurance. A few thousand pcoplo combine and pay a certain annual or monthly or other tax and when tho contingency arises, bo It death, lire, poverty or otherwise, they receive tho supjuirt or payment bargained for. No dis credit Is this, no shamo. Quite the contrary. Hut when the whole so ciety, called state or county,ngrves to pay yearly a certain tax on the con dition that if any of their number become old or disabled and oor hey shall receive it hack by support at a certain home It is regarded as a dis grace to accept tho condition on the lmppcnlugof thu contingency. And yet there is not one lota ofditlVrcncc between tho acceptance of payment under an Insurance policy, a supKrt as an Odd Fcllow.aud a home at the poor house only that the boelety which hUtdfdiiN the poor hone Is generally tho largest. In conse quence of this wrong opinion the inmates of the poor house are neg lected, couteutued and tho btisinem ta uiUuuUiaetd too often. A eltUen ktu p.dd his taxes for fifty years for this lKx.r houao w 1th the understand Ing that If ever the contingency hull arise when he or some one shall need a home then it shall he opcu to hint.

REMINISCENCES OF 148. Thread of he Indian War Stories Con- tinned by Jud, Mhaw. ICorreapondence of the Capital Journal. In my last I left off at or near old fort Walla Walla, when we were on tho march to tho mission known as Wyllatpugh, where Whitman and those associated witli him had been murdered In November. At this time the weather had be come rather warmjand we had to trav el rather slow, yet we were enabled to reach the mission that day and found everything in a horrible con dition. It was reported to us that the bodies had all been decently in terred by those tent to attend to this matter by the Hudson Bay com pany but I was shocked when I went to tho place called tho grave of those worthy dead, and found that the bodies had been disinterred by the wolves and pieces of their bodies were strewn around as if they hud been of no more value than those of wild beasts. Dr. Whitman's body was almost entirely disinterred and what shocked tho writer most was to nee the beautiful golden curls of Mrs. Whitman scattered promis cuously over the ground as If the evil one had done his best to destroy every vestage of what this good and noble woman had done for tho last ten years and had succeeded in scattering her beautiful golden hair is a trophy to the wind and sand of Walla Walla valley. I must bo permitted right here to express my disgust at this,oucof the most revolting and blood-curdling scenes of my life. My blood first ran cold and then hot, and my rage and that of my comrades became almost unl)carnble at times, and the only satisfaction that we could hope to attain, was the pleasure of seeing iu tho engagements that followed with our enemies that our unerring rilles had done their work well when we saw soino red men of the forest ttimblo to the ground. And we never saw such an occurrence as this without a sweet sensation of revenge. When wo were In an engagement we invariably thought of she who had worn that beautiful golden hair and took a great pride iu avenging her wrongs,for we well remembered that she was one of two noble wom en that left father, mother, brothers and sisters and all else to them that seemed dear, and made tho trip across the plains in tho year 1836, and all for tho purpose of carrying the good news of tho gosjK'l to those red men, who hnd at first received them kindly, but by some unac countable change iu their minds had become the murderers of thoso that would be their benefactors. It has always been my opinion from what I saw while up at the mission and from information gain ed afterwards that some unprinci pled person or persons had been the cause of tills atrocious crime, all for soino sinister motive. Perhaps Jealousy or s ma other green-eyed monster had suggested tho great necessity to get rid of a rival that was too full of American principles to suit those that entertained other religious faith and held allegiaace to another government which desired very much to acquire this vast dr main for an Inheritance for their own constituency. Some of this class of persons hnd been greatly dissatisfied nt thu arrival of so many Americans In tills country and were therefore enraged at Dr. Whitman tor making a trip across tho plains In tho dead of whiter in tho year 1842 to Inform his government of the value of this country and thereby preventing an cgntuzcd plan from maturing that would httvo made this country a British colony. 1 do not wish to Iro understood to say that all this people were engaged In this nefarious and criminal allhlr, yet I firmly behove that bouio of the leaders were in the plot and sanction ed or suggested tho plan to get rid of Dr. Whitman and those associat ed with him that they might gain thuemliic.Hv that he had attaints) by his Indomitable will and cueryy among those savages. I u my opinion there is no American that had thu oxpcrlencv that 1 have had but that will agree with mo In every woid that 1 have written about this mat ter if lie will Just clear his mind of all former prejudtcesou thlsquestloii. We found wverythlng around the mlxMou In a bad condition. Fences wcreall down anil almost everything of value had been destroyed by thu Indians. Tho stock belonging to the mhsloii had been driven oil' and appropriated and there wits nothing left to represent tho thrift that this inMoii had Iu thu year 1854 when our emigration came by on their way to Willamette valley. As soon as our command arrived wo took xiKcoaltin of what was left and Immediately commenced to build a fort out of the debris that was left. We first built a barricade around our Citinp, v hlch was forn e I in a hollow wiuatv by tearing down the old adolK) building; and building up a wall 7 or S fet high around cur eunip. At each comer w u placed a bastion or station that would hi'ld hHViTill iiinii. ul lit tllso llf n nttHxlr we could defend the outer wall from ' " ' """ being attacked. This was all done in' afewWsand the next thing to be done was to build a corral Tor our stock. This we soon did by digging trendies around a large piece of ground and placing fence rails on enuintnc trencn wnicn, vwicii mu dirt was all filled in again, made a strong barricade for our stock, into which we placed them every night, which made our guard duty much lighter, but they had to be out early every morning to get something to eat. While a portion of our command was engaged in making everything safe, we also had out scouting par ties In every direction to see if we could find where the Indians hnd taken their stock and families. We knew they had gone towards the Nez Perce country but hoped they would not be allowed to enter that country, which fact we soon learned to bo true, for about tills time Mr. Craig, (who had been one of our guides all tho way up until we met the Nez Perces on the day after the battle between the Well Springs and Butter creek with whom he went homo to see ids family), returned with a large escort of the leading men of thu Nez Perce tribe, who gave Us assurance that they were our friends and would not allow the Kayuses to move into their country. Willie they remained true to our causo yet they did not entirely keep their word, lor there were many of thosoKayuRCb that had married into their tribe and it was almost an im possibility, to keep such as those out of their country. Tho Kayues were now on the border of the Nc. Perce territory and it would only take n push from our forces to put them over the line, and once over, there was no man that could tell a Kayuso from a Nez Perce Indian. Therefore w would bo likely to get into trou ble with those that desired to be our friends. While those matters were all being talked about, wo wcic mak ing ready to attack our foes again who were at no great distance 1'ioni us, perhaps twent.v-fivo or thhty miles. When wo had our arrange ments all made, we found that we could muster from 150 to 175 men all told and this was the best that we could do and leave nsullicient glial d around our stock and supplies at the mission. Wo however had several on the sick list and several wounded persons that could not go. This was a small foreo to go out against so formidable a posse,yct they went all tho same. Preparations are nearly completed to begin tho work of surveying a line, and securing the right of way forthocoiistiuctiou of tho feiuslaw and Eastern railway. This is the most important enterprise that has been started in Eugene, and should enlist the hearty co-operation of every citizen of the county, but more especially those in the vicinity tra versed by tho proposed route. The construction of a lighthouse by the government at the entranae of the Sluslaw harbor, and then a railway thenco to connect with tho avenues of commerce in tho interior, will give an impetus to the business of all kinds that will insure develop ment of tho vast resources lying to tho west. It will also result in the improvement of thu harbor and af ford a new outlet for tho products of the country. "God help thoo who help themselves," and this is an ef fort to help ourselves in which wo predict there will bo no lack of local encouragement and assistance Eu gene Register.

They have at this time fifteen teams eili ployed and the contemplated improvements hare scarcely begun. It is intended to make tho drive leading from Commercial street through Riverside and High laud additions and around Highland Park THB FINEST'DRIVE IN THE STATE Of Oregon. The lino of the Salem Street Railway Company runs through the middle of this addition, and no lots will be more than two blocks distant from the line. Highland Park will in the near future be THE MOST POPULAR RESORT ABOUT THE CITY OF SALEM. Lots in Highland Ailditon are High and Dry and Well Located; Most Excellent Drainage The soil is black and rich. From all points a fine view is obtained of the public buildings and our highest mountuin peaks. Arrangements arc already being made for the location of two churches iu this addition, and a number of residences are soon to bo built. Buildings only of the best class will be permitted. Residence lota within the limits of the city of Salem are wortli on an average over 1000. "We can sell you better lots in High land addition for one-third of the money, nnd being directly on the line of tho street railway they are practi cally not lialf so far from the public buildings and the business part of tho town as the majority of the so called "inside lots." Buy a Lot in Highland Addition for Three Hundred Dollars, And let some other fellow pay $1000 for au inferior lot not so well located. With the difference of $700 you can build a beautiful cottage, or put it out at a rate of interest that will buy you nearly two thousand street car tickets every year. H. P.
