He immediately plung ed iito the stream and went to her. He knew the tribe to which she be longed and that the Mohaves had been making war upon them. He immediately started back with her to tho Mohave vil age. It was a law to which they punctually lived, to return all fleeing fugitives or captives of a friendly tribe. "It seemed that she had con cealed that portion of the corn meal she did not bake, with a view of undertaking to escape. "When she went out that night she plunged immediately into the river to prevent them from track ing her. She swam several miles that night and then hid herself in a willow wood; thinking that- they would be iii close pursuit she re solved there to remain until they should give up hunting for her. Here she remained nearly two days, and her pursuers were very near her several times. She then started aod swam where the river was not too rapid and - shallow, when she would out and bound over the rocks. Ia this way, trav eling only in the night, she had gone near one hundred and thirty miles, fche was, as she suppoeed, full ' safely hid in a cave, waiting the return of night, when the Yuma found her. "On her return another noisy meeting was called, and they spent the night in one of their vic tory dances. They would dance around ber, shout in her cars, spit in he. face, and show their throats of a murderous design, assuring her that the would soon have her where sho would give them no n.ore trouble by running away.

Five hours from Portland and one from Astoria, through the famous fiohing waters of tho Columbia, past scori-s of salmon traps and nets and a many white-winged fish boats, lands the passengers at Iwaco where close ccunection is made lor beach points with trains of the liwaco Railway Sc Navigation Company, whose cars stand on the wharf awaiting the steamer. The beach is twenty-seven miles long. two hundred yards wide at low tide, and so hard that carriage wheels scarcely leave a mark. It is an ideal place for driving, riding, wheeling, or walking, and the surf bathing is unsurpassable The ex cellent hotels and boarding houses provide good accommodations at prices ranging from one dollar to three dollars per day. The round trip rale from Port land to Astoria is 12.50; to Ocean llcacb points ti. 00, good until October 15th. On Saturdays, during July and A-uguet, round trip tickets are sold to beach points at 12.50, good for return leaving the beach the following Sunday evening. , - The Oregon II til road it Naviga tion Company has just issued a new sartinier book, (free for the asking) which 'tells all about the delightful resorts of the Valley of. the Columbia River.
