Mi. George H. Himes. of the Oregon
Historical Society, Portland, returned to
La Grande from Boise City, this morning
During the week since he left this city he
visited Baker City. Huntington. Otario.
Nampa and Boise, finding a number of
pioneers, some of them as far back as
1845, and one, Mr. A. L. Richardson, of
Boise, who came in 1843. His father
died at Fort Hall, and his mother went
on to Oregon City that Fall, and the fol
lowing year the went into partnership
with a noted character at the falls city
by the name of Sidney W. Moss, a pioneer
of 1842, a Methodist ministernamed Rev.
A. F. Waller, a pioneer of 1840. prepar
ing the necessary legal papers and per
forming the ceremony. There were not
many pioneers of the days prior to 1856
but that knew the "Main Street House,"
over which "Mr. Moss and the Widder"
presided. It was here that Joseph Sho
water Smith, a pioneer of 1 844, and who
was elected to Congress in 1 868 on the
Democratic ticket a large detachment of
Pap Price's Army" contributing over
whelmingly to that result, to the utter
consternation and disgust of the Western
Oregon Republicans was given the fam
ous nickname of "Carving Fork", Smith,
which he carried to the end of his life.
The surprise in the Republicon camp may
be well imagined when Logan, then
standard bearer, came to the Cascade
mountains with 1200 mjaority, and had
that wiped out and a majority of 12C0
the other way secured by the presence of
the "Price Contigent," already alluded to.
At Baker City Mr. Himes had a very
interesting interview with Mrs. Miriam
Bonney Hibler, a pioneer of 1945, who
spent the winter of 1845-6 at Sut er's
Fort, near the present city of Sacramento
California. As the Bonney family was
descending the Sierra Nevada mountains,
Mrs. Hibler, then a girl of fourteen, picked
a handful of little nuggets, thus discover'
ing gold two years before James W. Mar
shall, an Oregonian of 1844, found it at
the mill race of Sutter's mill, his alleged
'first ' discovery being on January 24
1843. Not long since Mr. Himes se
cured a San Francisco paper, "The Cali-
fornian," of March 15, 1848, which con
tains the first printed reference tc Mar
shall's discovery. This is about a "stick-
full" .in length two inches without
"scare heads" and apparently was not
considered of any more importance than a
street brawl or a dog fight. Times have
changed.
Mr. Hines will go on to Pendleton to
morrow, and will stop at The Dalles and
Hood River before returning ta Portland.
He considers that his trip has been a
very successful one. as he his gathered
much data that will be of great import
ance to those who, in the future have oc
casion to study the history of the Pacific
Northwest.
Sciatica in nearly every case is the
simple result of pressure on the sciatica
nerve or on one of the several nerve
strands that leave the lower part of the
spine to form that great nerve. Curing
the trouble is to a skilled anatomist like
the Osteopath, a simple matter of finding
just where the' pressure is occuring and
then doing a vay with such pressure by
mechanical manipulation suited to the
case. Operations such as are frequently
performed toy surgeons in extreme cases
are never necessary for exactly the
same results are secured by the Osteo
path through the use to carta n leverages
in the application of which he is the mas
ter. Osteopathy has mado a great record
in the treatment of static a record en
tirely unpre:eHented and may be said
to be the treatment for the trouble.

"Woman" is the name of a new magazine for women.
TKe first number is just issued. Your newsdealer has it.
You can get it from him, and it is worth your while getting
it. There is nothing startling about this magazine. There
should be nothing startling about a decent magazine for
women and the home. But this particular magazine is
unique among all the so-called publications for women.
You might not like it a little bit, and then, again, it might
hit your fancy good and hard.
I f you like fiction good, wide-awake, snappy stories
both .serials and short storiesyou will like " Woman. "
In fact, fiction is the big feature of the magazine.
All the other magazines for women are cast on the same
model a little bit of fiction, a few articles, more or less
chit chat, some wise advice, a fashion department and a
smattering of general miscellany. "WOMAN " doesn't
look any more like this conventional model than a yellow
dog looks like a race horse. It is built on new lines for a
strictly woman's publication. To know what it is like you
will have to get a copy of it. It would cost too much to
tell you all about it in this advertisement.
The price of WOMAN " is TEN CENTS A COPY,
and the magazine is a very big one 192 pa.ies.
By the way, two rattling good serial stories begin in this first num
ber and it contains a big lot of other good things. You would'
do well to ask your dealer for it before his supply is exhausted.
