Transportation Facilities.

Many enquiries are made about ros.
poets for shipping facilities the ensuing
Summer and Fall. 1t is announced
that the 0. S. N. Company will exert
themselves to supply the demand for
shipment on both the Columbia and
Snake rivers as far as Lewiston. Thew
are to build a new boat for the fade
between Portland and Cascades, annher
boat for the Cascades and Dales tnde
another will be built at Cello, and
fourth will be built at Tenino, 70, the
upper Columbia trade. 1t may alo be
expected that Capt. Stump's boa will
be perfected for the upper trade. Our
producers who can freight theirgrain
and other products to the balk of
Snake river or the Columbia a; any
point from the mouth of Clearwater
down to the mouth of the Columbia
ought to have no hesitation in ding SO
through fear that they cannot b. taken
to a market, especially if the market
prices below will justify the shipments.

w atkins Policy.

The programme marked out by In
spector Watkins, which we publish or
our outside, is opposed by the commits
sioner of Indian Affairs but in part
endorsed by the Secretary of the Int
rior. In theory it may be admirable
but in what condition is the government
now to adopt it and give it force? The
homesteading part of it may be effected
without blood shed or the expenditure
of much money of the treasury. But
the relocation of these Indians upon
reservations against their expressed will
is a matter of ;mpossibility with double
the military force now on this North
West coast. The true welfare of the
Indian as we'll as the true interests of
this fast growing country, demand that
some practical system Of treatment be
soon adopted and soon put into execu-
ton to save further trouble and blood
shed. It is no time to speculate upon
Indian territorial governments for these
Indians, separate and apart from the
government of the white men. Just
as we'll make separate territorial gov
eminent for the Chinese, and every
other distinct race who are occupants of
Uncle Sans dominions. AS we'll nav
we say to the Frenchman, to Dutchmap.
to the Spaniard and to the Chinese that
each shall have separate domain with
a separate territorial government, a. to
say that much to the Indian. IF the
Indian cannot live and prosper under

y probable, in order to produce pan.
10 among settlers, and the man who
creates story and circulates it about
the conduct of Indians, which has no
foundation in fact, deserves the severest
condemnation by all frontiersmen. But
when the conduct and language of In
dams is such as to inspire apprehension
of intended evil, all frontier settlers
should know the facts, and then they
can judge each for himself what he
should do to avert danger to himself,
family and property. The war of last
Summer ought to teach our people a
lesson, such as will canse them every
where in exposed localities, to sec ure
for themselves arms and ammunition,
and provide other means of defense
against any sudden and unexpected
outbreak. AS matters were then and
as they are now, the military forces of
the government, stationed in Eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho are
not adequate, to prevent hostility, nor
to snbdue the hostiles in case they at
tempt to make general war upon the
settlers. The moral effect of the war
against Joseph and the hostile Nez
Perces, has furnished no intimidation
to other bands. In fact, they say that
Joseph and his braves made a great
success, although he and few of his
men were captured and are now held as
prisoners. The treatment Joseph is
receiving at the hands of the govern
ment, and the prominence which is
given to his proves by the thousands
who visit him in his palace prison is
well known and discussed by all the
tribes in this North West country, and
excites the ambition of the chiefs and
young men among these tribes to at
tempt war, rather than submit to the
orders of the government to remove IN.
on reservations without a struggle.
Settlers should know these facts. and
they should everywhere avoid all con.
troversies with Indians in their neigh.
borhood, and all acts towards Indians
and their property, that are not strictly ,
right and just towards them, and thew
should also sec to it that the Indians
themselves keep good faith with them.
10 do this the settlers themselves must .
have arms about their premises, which >
they can depend upon for successful
defense against any infringement upon
their rights by Indians. But these
arms they never should use wautonlv II

is being known to Indians that the set.

MIS. ALICE ATKINS, wife Of John
Atkins. and daughter of Capt. VIM
Spires. died on the 22d day of May, 1873
in the 24th year of her age.
Death is the natural consequence OF
life, and is an ordeal through which the
whole human family must eventually
pass still when 1t comes to the young,
tender, and beautiful while we cllnowl-
edge Gods wisdom, we fail to compre-
hend his object in cutting off those who
have just begun to live.
Such was the subject of This notice; al
most at the very threshold of woman
hood, the rod Of ailiction was waved
heavily over her, and for many weeks
she suffered without a murmur, and with
christian resignation. the almost indie
scrihahle torture and pain which God
had placed upon her. when mt last the
frail cord which bound her to earth was
severed. her spirit passed peacefully and
quietly back To the God who gave it.
While her death was not unexpected
Ivy those to whom she was dear, yet
when the a.!preme moment came, whcn
told that she was dead, the deep and ir-
repressible grief of fond and devoted
husband and father seemed almost to
sever their heart-strings. And to her
young and only sister. whose constant
care and vigils at her bed side, had well
nigh exhausted her strength, it came
like an avalanche almost consuming the
little strength she had left
Friends, tender and kind, moved
around amid the sad scene. Offering
every sympathy and consolation.
