LESSONS OF THE FIRE.
; The late fire in our cily demonstrated
two facts. One, a lack of sufficient hose,
and the other, the necessity of more cis
terns. Let our city authorities immedi
ately take this matter , in hand, and pro
Tide a more adequate protection against
the devouring element. One hundred
feet more of hose, on last Sunday morn
ing, would have saved Manuel Knight's
building, worth $1,500. Let this fact
at once quiet all ideas of false economy,
when such a trifling expense maybe
the means of saving so much property.
Farmers' Meeting. Elsewhere
will be found a communication from
Many Farmers," calling a meeting, in
this city.on the 1st proximo two weeks
from to-day to take into consideration
the proposition of forming a Farmers'
Club, for the purpose of building a ware
house for storing grain, and also to pro-
Tide for shipping their products to mar
ket. This is a move in the right direc
tion, and we nope to see the meeting
largely attended. Our farmers have too
long suffered by middle men and ship
pers, ana it is high -time they were
taking some steps for their" protection
against unwarranted extortions.

, An Opposition Steamee. The
Oregonian says that it is rumored that
certain parties in San Fracisco are
making arrangements to put on a line
of opposition steamers between Portland
and that point as soon as the Willamette
River Navigation Gompany's steam'
boats are ready to run and supply them
with freight from up the valley. As
the steamer Annie Stewart, and the
new boat now being bnilt, will be ready
to run in the course of. two months, a
lively competition in freight and passage
may soon be expected between here
and San Francisco, if there is any
foundation in report.
Miller's Tbial. A correspondent
f . the Bulletin, writing from Eugene in
regard to the late trial of L. D. Miller,
pays a high tribute to the eloquence
and religious learning of Hon. John
Burnett but says that Judge Cheno-
weth.our Radical Prosecuting Attorney,
"lacks point and energy," and rarely
succeeds in making his indictments stick-
We are not a defender of Republican
officeholders, in particular, but feel con
strained to say that, whatever may be
his other failings, Judge Chenoweth
certainly possesses point, and has the
energy to press matters, whenever oc
casion offers.

on the bay and ten miles back, which

Last werk, oh the authority of a gen
tleman just up from the Bay, we stated
that there was no undue excitement at
Newport, and that no trouble with the
Indians was apprehended. ' Since then,
however, affairs have assumed a more
portentions aspect. The savages still
continue their wild dances, in the hope
of bringing back to earth their dead
braves, and pretend to have received a
message from the Great Spirit to the ef
fect that their friends will not return
until some whites have been killed. Peo
ple around JElk City are getting alarmed
at the conduct of the Indians, and sev
eral families have come into this valley
for safety. The settlers in the vicinity
of Toledo are building a block-house
fort, for their protection. A gentleman
who arrived here from Elk City last
Tuesday, informs us that the Indian
wives of old trappers who refuse to
join in the barbarous dance, are sorely
frightened, and cannot be induced to re
main at their homes, -; unprotected by
their husbands. On Saturday night
last, the fine residence of E. N. Saw
telle, three miles below Elk City, was
laid in ashes, it is supposed by Indians.
We subjoin the following, from the pen
of a reliable citizen, which portrays
reasons for serious alarm :
Elk Citx, Jan. 12, 1873.
Editoe Democrat :
Quite an excitement was created here
last night, by the burning of the dwel
ling and outhouses on the premises of
a,, in. hawtelle, a tew miles below this
place. Men, women and children were
at once alarmed, and, for safety, the lat
ter were placea on board the schooner
Lizzie, Capt. Lee giving them the sole
use of the cabin. Messengers were at
once dispatched to Pioneer, and Capt.
Kellogg immediately got steam on the
Oneatta, came down to this city, and
moored alongside the schooner. The
excitement became intense, and men,
armed with Henry rifles, guus and pis
tols, were picketed upon the outskirts
of the town. No Indians were seen.
This morning a meeting of citizens was
called, at which Dr. Carter nresided.
and Henry AhpeL acted as Secretary.
A committee was appointed to bring in
all the Indians suspected of firing the
j.ne iouowmg testimony was
ganized among them a regular system
of judicial procedure ; , and asserting
mat mere is no cause for alarm. The
people of this 'county are too familiar
with this gentleman's preferences for
the Indian race over the white to place
the slightest confidence in his actions or
give any credulity to his reports in re
gard to his particular pets. The recent
actions of these " wards of the Govern
ment' are too fearfully apparent to be
misunderstood. While we would say
nothing to create unnecessay alarm,
it is, nevertheless, our duty, as a- rmblic
journalist, to let facts be known. The
settlers on Yaquina Bay are isolated and
unprotected ; they are endeavoring to
build up homes for themselves and their
children, upon their 'own soil, in the
wilderness ; their hearthstones have
v,.. ,c.vi naoiu uj me iorcn or the sav
age ; their lives put ' in jeopardy, and
they now ask, and most surely deserve,
protection from the ruthless hands of
the treacherous enemy by which tbey-
are surrounded. Let their demand be
adequately met, and no half-way work
be done. If speedy and decisive action
be not taken by the Indian Department,
let the citizens of Benton county ask
authority of the Executive, and pro
ceed at once to make a lasting peace
with these redskins a peace which
will forever secure perfect immunity to
our citizens.
JLY1J2KESTING TO FARMERS.
Editor Democrat :

adduced
On Friday, the 10th inst.. a Dletrpr
by the name of California Jack, who
was chopping wood for Mr. Kistler, did
not come to work until late in the day.
When asked by Mrs. Kisler to explain
the cause of his tardiness, he replied
that he was " sick at his heart, as lie
bad spent the whole night in a talk with
the ' Siwashes ' at Old Sambo's camp."
Mrs. K. urged him to state what trans
pired, when he made the following His.
closures : The Indians were mad. and
would, break into one house and- steal
ictas, and also kill one man. In an
swer te the question what man, he said
he dare not tell, for, if he did bo, the
Indians would kill him. Finally, when
asked if the man referred to was Saw
telle, be replied "Yes.", He further
stated that a general outbreak would be
made ; the Indians would kill all th
whites, and appropriate their property.
He said he had refused to consent to
this proposition, and asked if the whiten
would protect him When examined
before the committee of citizens, this
Indian denied the whole statement he
had made to Mrs. Kistler, as narrated
above. ; -
Now, Mr. Editor, it is pitiful to see
women and childrea friehtened

The Sandwich Islakds. The
President, in a recent conversation on
the subject of the Hawaiian Islands
affair, said in view of late publications
concerning them, it was proper that all
the facts should be known, which are
briefly as follows : This Government
had sent a United States vessel to the
Hawaiian Islands to bring the King to
San Francisco, he having' expressed a
desire to travel through this country and
thence go to Europe for the benefit of
his health. About the time the vessel
arrived at Honolulu the King died,
This intelligence having been received
by our Government, the commander of
the Pacific squadron was instructed to
send a vessel to the Islands in addition to
one already there, simply to protect the
rights of American citizens in case of
emergency, and to see that other nations
should take no undue advantage under
the new Government. General fechoneld
sailed on this vessel merely for the ben
efit; ot his health.

Attorney's office in Utah. The United

and the Government does not enforce
them. So a lawyer of talent and self-re
