(Continued from Inst week.) I traveled ns hard as I could nnd on thu night of the fourth 1 stayed with n tnnn whose nnmo wns Wells. I left hit) house before daylight and, after a hard day's tramp, I reached tho hospitable house of the grand old pioneer Jesse Applcgnte. He had been killed nnd burned. What they really found was where tho Indians had burned their dead after the first battle with us. They then returned to the steamer In the full belief that we had all been killed and burned, all but the body they found on tho beach. 1iiaf rnrolvi.il hln mnll from Portland I The Bteamcr Sailed at OnCO With nnd waB busy reading the nccount of our flgh with the Indians. Tho conclusion drawn from tho account was that we were killed mid burned up. I did not Interrupt him until ho got through rending his pnper. I then asked him If I could get some tho account of our trouble up to tho time we left Dattlo Hock. This. was published In tho Oregqnlnn as soon ns possible, nnd this was the nccount that Applegnto was reading when I reached his house.

Every old settler in Ore gon knows thnt. The man or com pnny thnt persuaded thorn to go down with the view of innklng n settlement nt Fort Orford wns guilty of n great wrong." "Well," snld I, "Mr. Ap plcgnte, I am happy to Inform you thnt tho men were not muidored hut ecenped, nnd eight of them I left nt Scotsburg yesterday nnd I nm tho ninth." I told him my nnmo nnd then T gave him an account of our retrent nnd his remark wns, nfter I got through, "Wonderful, wonder ful." Hero I must mnke nn explanation. I lint! written a f'lll nccount of our lirst lmttlo with the Indians on Dat tlo Hock and nlso an nccount of our Inst hnttlo, fifteen days afterward, nnd closed tho nccount with thco words, "Wo nre now Hiirrounded by throe- or four hundred jndlnus. hungry ..for our scalps, on ono sldo; by thou sands of miles of water on tho other; nno iu loam ino miles rrmn nny whlto mnn'B house.

As a progressive local business institu tion we believe, as a rule., in saying kind things, or letting unkind words go unsaid, On one particular subject, however, we be lieve that Intelligent "knocking" is warranted and justified. That subject is the GASOLINE COOK STOVE. The gasoline cook stove deserves harsh treat ment because it KILLS AND MAIMS many people and DESTROYS a great deal of PROP ERTY annually, Any one who reads the nowspaoers knows we are telling the truth.
