1t seems that the objection to the law
asit now stands arose from the practice
Of certain small merchants in the
country, of including @tishey, which is
largely and literally furnished, in the
list of agricultural supplies. This is
very Arcadian, and is blissful union
OF the orgies Of Pan and Bacchus, but
it certainly is not legal. However
stimulating to the fertile brain, whiskey
may be, 1t is very poor stimulating
fertilizer to the soil, and while it will
soon send men to "grass" is very poor
pasturage for stock
This practice is simply an abuse mud
violation of the law, and cannot be
urged as an objection to it provisions
One of these changes proposed to the
law, is to give the ownel of the | nd a
preferred Ii ed on the crop OF the tenant
for the rent. 1t is far easier for the
small farmer, just "making his farm"
to get land than supplies And like
wise It is easier for the landlord to COL
lcct his rent than for the merchant to
get remuneration for his advances.
The one is upon the ground and near.
er to the tenunr AID knows his renter
better than than the other at 4 distance.
aud unable to know his man or watch
his crop. Only good tenant can get
land, and there is C, Ms. quently less
necessity for so high security to be
given the Landlord for the collection of
his rent
The lien law as it now stands is wise
and has been benefit add blessing to
the poor men of the State, and has GER
talnly aided and encouraged agriculture.
Let the law, which has stood the test
of experience, stand as it is, but let any
abuse Q IS 3r. i s strictly vat h d
and pcremito'ily punished. Some
legislation looking to the punishment Of
parties violating the law, as tor miodc.
me,nor, or for fraud or over reaching
in its application, is what VIC thiuk is
needed. Nothing else.
The House of Representatives has,
however, OH Tuesday last, stricken out
Tic enactnS clause Of the bill to repeal
the lien law Of 1866. lhis was the
most decisive and important of the
measures against the law rs it now
stands, aud firu ,hiii,';n III; gtF Of tl.:e-tiil l..

The M0dOe Indians-G'iley Defeat
the United States Troops.

She telegraph during the last woek
brought tidings from California of the
crushing defeat of United States troops
by the Modoc Indians. Gen. Wheaton
was in command of the soldiers engaged
in action agsins these Indians and on
Friday the I7sh instant, severe battle
was fought near Tule Lake. The U. 9.
troops numbered about four hundred
men. Captain Jack was the Indian
commander. He had about two hundred d
braves concealed among the rocks along
line Of two miles in length. On Fri
dny morning Captain Bernard opened
battle. General Wheaton was distant
about twelve miles when he heard bhe
sriag commence. The troops fought an
unseen foe from Ieight in the morning
till dark. The loss to the troops was
forty, killed and wounded, That Of the
Indians is unknown. The troops were
finslly obliged to retreat.
The movement is called a reconois,
anec in fore of Captain Jacks position.
1t is said that it will require one
thousand ren to dislodge the Indians
from their position.
The troops for the present can only
wait and cndeaver to prevent the Modoc
from raiding on the settlements. Serious
arprehensions are entertained.
Will the red man rctake, his lost
inheritance Oh.

LETTER FROM sNoH0MIsH COUNTY.

LETTER FROM SN0HOMISH COUNTY.
Ed. SrANpARD:-The SURVEYS under
contract by Morgan and Hall, in this
and the north end of King counties,
are now nearly completed. Whether
they are accepted OF not remains with
the Surveyor-General, who with his
usual scrutinizing eye will act. Much
available land is thrown open to settle
ment both for agricultural PURPOSES and
numbering, and persons locating can
designate odd or even sections Oh which
to settle, and know whether to apply to
the United States land Office OF the rail-
road land Office.
Many new logging camps will start
up as soon as the bark begins to peel
or the sap Of the tree, begins to 60 up i'll
April or May, next year.
More produce is already raised on
the Skykomish and Snoqualmie rivers
than can be used next season, till the
crops are ripened, such as hay, potatoes,
turnips, beets, carrots, parsneps, on
ions, etc. Barley and other feed will
have to be imported.
Everything looks prosperous and hap
Ply on these rivers. All that we need is
a market for producc-one that it will
pay to ship to.
One important thing the people at
large want, especially those logging,
who compose the majority part of the
inhabitants of the county, is boom to
be erected at some point on the river
to catch and secure all logs, timber or
lumber that may be floating on the
Snohomish river. Whoever may get a
franchise of the kind required should
be responsible for all logs that passes
the boom. He should receive his pay
for catching and delivering to the
rightful owner of all timber, lumber
or logs on the delivery of the same; the
price for his services should be fixed by
Congress. This would make the thing
more permanent, and induce the pro-
prietor to put up the requisite works
for the purpose in the river. From
what I can learn, VIM Romines of this
place has sent q petition to the Legis-
lature praying that body to memorable
this purpose and his application en-
braces all the points before referred to.
If so, no better person could have con-
troll of such an important work. From
what little know and all hear, he is
an energetic, enterprising man who
has money to carry out his projects.
The people speak their wants through
their Representative, Mr. Hartman,
who no doubt will loose no time in at
tending to their wishes.
Barney" the Indian who has caused
much trouble to the agent at Tulalup,
and great annoyance to the Indians on
the Snohomish, having murdered several
persons, was killed few evenings ago
by Indians, near Johnson ranch, on
Skykomish. His head was broken by
the use of some heavy missile. The
cause is said to have been some old
grudge. LOGGER.
