hardly struggle After hanging
for seven minutes they were pro.
nounced dead. The bodies were cut
down and delivered to the Indians
for disposition. The bodies will be
buried tomorrow. Considerable de.
monstration will be made over the
body of Quit a-tumps.
A detachment of the First Cavalry,
under Maj. Jackson, and a number OF
citizen volunteers were stationed out
side the Jail enclosure during the ex-
ecution. The military will remain at
the agency until after the hanging of
APPS, which will take place next Fri
day. Considerable uneasiness is felt
as to the result of the execution, and
it is not known but that the Indians
may attempt to revenge the deaths
next summer. Indians profess great
friendship, but many believe it only
assumed.
The execution to day was witness
ed by about FOO persons, including
10 Indians: A great crowd collected
on the outside of the Jail enclosure
and en- surrounding housetops.
Everything passed off quietly, 1t
Is hoped the hanging win prove a
salutary lesson to the Indians.

FAITHFUL TO THE END.

The following complimentary, but
well merited tribute to a faithful pub
lie servant, is found IN the Roseburg
Independent of January 10th, which
We most heartily indorse:
Senator Mitchell has introduced several
bills lately in the Senate for the benoft of
the State A preamble to a bill for opening
the Columbia river to free navigation, pro-
vides for an appropriation of $500, 600 to
construct broad gauge railroad across the
Cascade portages. Other bills are for an ap-
preparation of $lO0, 900 for the establishment
of a permanent military post at Baker City,
and for the relief of parties in Eastern Ore
gon, whose property was destroyed by In
dians.
This last work shows that Senator Mitch
ell was not soured by defeat when candi-
date for re election, and that since he re-
turned to WASHINGTON he has evinced de-
termination to work for the interests of Or
egon to the end of his term as earnestly as
he did at any time while in the Senate-and
that is saying good deal. Previous to the
last election, any one who was disposed to
and did give Mitchell credit for what good
he performed, was charged with being hired
in his interest. The day has gone by when
such charges can be reasonably made, and
we now contend, as we always have, that he
has made the best Senator Oregon has ever
had, and we call as witnesses to the asser-
tion the many Democrats and Republicans
in the State for the promotion of whose per-
sonal interests he has so successfully !abored.
Laying aside all party prejudices and per-
sonal feeling, it is no more than just to de-
clare fol Mitchell. Sc Well done, thou good
and faithful servant"

ENCOURAGE OPPOSITION BOATS.

EDITOR GAzE1TE:-Please find en-
closed money order, $3.50, for renew
al Of my subscription to the GAZETTE
| noticed an item in a late number of
the GAZETTE, to the effect that the
steamer S. 7. Church was total loss.
This is a mistake. This steamer is
now in the dry dock, at this place, un-
dergoing repairs, and, before long,
her ponderous wheel will lash the
waters Of the Willamette into foam,
as of yore. Ere long she will be at
Corvallis, think.
The farmers of Benton county
should help the farmers of Polk,
Yamhill and Marion counties in their
struggle for low freights, so that they
may not he robbed of the cream Of
their toll by the o. S. N. Co., and
other grasping monopolies. This is
one of, the grandest struggles the.
farmers of the Willamette valley ever
engaged in. Some say sneeringly,
that farmers cant run asteamboat !"
l would ask them why a farmer can
not take his produce to market as
well as those large companies that
are making stupcndous fortunes from
the farmers Of this valley? There are
great many farmers who cannot see
their own interests. They think,
when they are asked to subscribe stock
in a boat, that they are certain to be
swindled, and will put it off until
some of their neighbors takes the
requisite number of shares. They
lack confidence in themselves.
1t is true that the farmers boats
have had bad luck, this fall. But the
same misfortunes are liable to happen
to any boats on the Upper William
cite. Nearly all the stock holders in
the farmers boats have received their
money back in loao .tfeig}its. Then
where is the swindle Suppose the
farmers boats, and the A. 4. McCul-
ly, were off the river, how long would
the farmers of Benton county enjoy
the present low freight tariffs? The
only way to have low frciglts con-
tinue on the Upper Willamette, is fol
the farmers to stand by the opposi-
ton boats. S. S. G.

OUTLET TO THE SEA.

The project of rendering Rogue
river navigable, is pronounced inn
practicable, and therefore Southern
Oregon fails to have an outlet to the
the sea, as fondly Hoped by that
means. We regret that this stream
is not navigable, as there is no danger
of our State having too many outlets
to the sea. This is another reason
why Yaquina Bay should receive
Congressional appropriation. With
comparatively small outlay, in remov.
ing the soft rock at the entrance, it
would afford most excellent harbor.
We are pleased to know that this
subject is receiving the attention of
our Senators and Representative in
Congress, and, ere long, we hope to
chronicle the welcome intelligence
that a handsome appropriation for
this purpose, has been secured.
In speaking of the late examination
of Rogue river by competent civil
engineer, the Jacksonville Times, of
the 10th inst. say:
Engineer Earsturck is said to be of the
opinion that Rogue river cannot be rendered
navigable by the expenditure of any sum of
money Congress may see fit to appropriate
for the purpose. His recent experience in
the premises seem to be evidence enough of
this, and he will report accordingly. This
fact is to be deplored, as it cuts off one hone
Southern Oregon may have entertained for
an outlet to the sea.

The execution of White Owl and
Quit a-tumps, for the murder of
George Coggan near Cayuse Station,
last July, took place this aftern oon.
Both were reservation Indians, who
took part in the war against the
whites last summer. Thursday and
Thursday night were passed by the
Indians in chanting death songs and
bidding their friends good bye. The
ceremonies at the gallows were con-
Quoted according to rites of the In
dian religion. Both White Owl and
Quit-a-tumps refused to haveanything
to do with the Catholic priests, or to
receive other spiritual consolation.
They were attired in clothes given
them by the whites, and their faces
were gaudily painted. Both made
short speeches from the scaffold con-
Tossing that they did the shooting,
but refused to acknowledge the JUS
tice of their fate. They continued
singing death chants until the drop
fell at 2:45 P. NJ. The fall dislocated
their necks, and both died without

MORE NARROW GAUGE R. r..

While the Willamette valley seems
all alive on the narrow gauge railroad
question, Southern Oregon is not
asleep. On the 4th inst, an enthusi
astic mass meeting was held at Jack
sonville to discuss the project of
building narrow gauge road from
Rogue River valley to tide-water at
or near Ellensbure, Curry County,
Oregon. Many of the most substan-
tial merchants and farmers, represent
ing nearly every precinct, were pres
ent,, and nearly all of them had some
thing to say in favor of the scheme.
E. Il. Anderson, acted as chairman,
and Geo. E. Strong as secretary Of
the meeting. E. D. Foudray, ex-
planned the purpose of the call, and
brief addresses were make by Messrs.
Ross, Kayler, Beekman, Hopweod,
Mccall and Kent.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare a subscription paper to be pre-
sented to the citizens of Jackson
county for contributions towards de-
fray;ng the expense Of a preliminary
survey of the proposed road. Over
$500 were raised, in a few minutes,
G. G. Beekman heading the subscrip-
ton with 800. Col. Ross, and 9th
ers, following with $50 each, while
subscriptions raHged from five dollars
up. From the enthusiasm manifest
ed, we have no doubt the enterprise
will be success, and although Rogue
River may not be navigable, South
ern Oregon will yet have an outlet to
the sea. Success to the undertaking.

WATcH MEETING.-The watch meeting at
the Methodist church on Tuesday night was
a most interesting one. The church was
well filed by 9 o'clock, when the services
were opened by Rev. Coffman, who gave a
short but timely sermon upon Time-Its
Uses and Objects" which was listened to
with attentive interest. At 10 o'clock the
services were closed, and the congregation
entered into season of social converse,
when the services were rcopened, and the
remainder of 1878 was spent in speaking,
singing and prayer. A joyful season of con-
graduation took place when the clock mark
