The Btory teller sat before his small house in a Bbchuk'd cove In a bend Among the most attractive spots in Oregon is the Imnaha Valley, a nar row, tortuous valley surrounded on either side by steep hills that tower from one to two thousand feet above the Imnaha river. This valley has gained considerable notice because of its mild climate, California in type, and because of the excellent quality of its fruits which the Imnaha farm ers haul out all through the Bummer months to the people of the prosper ous Wallowa county towns It is the common opinion of the Wallowa county residents that no spot in Ore gon can produce more delicious fruit than is grown along this clear, rapid river, fifty miles from railroad traus- portatton.

Several generations before the time of the ' Josephs" the Nez Perce tribe to which the famous Chief Joseph be longed, a Nez Perce brave called "Imna" was camped with his tribe at the Juncture of Big Sheep and the Imnaha rivers. Prowling about hi the neighborhood were some Bannocks, a tribe much despised by the Nes Perce Indians. About sundown one day Imna went out to the place where his Donies were feeding. What was hisi wrath at discovering that .about twenty of the fat, spotted , cayuses had been stolen, and that the tracks indicated clearly that they had been taken by the hated Bannocks. ' " Filled with a mad desire for re venge Imna did not take time to re turn to his camp for assistance, but f llowed the trail of his stolen ponies. All night he walked swiftly down the river, at every step his anger Increas ing. Just as the faint morning light appeared he beheld In the distance a thin column ot smoke near the trail over the ridge to Snake river, some twenty-five miles from his starting place. ' .';Vl.''V ' , He was all allert now, and made bis way forward with the craft that only an Indian knows. Soon through the trees he saw two Bannocks feasting on the cooked fleBh of a tender colt that had , been slaughtered from Imna's band of ponies. Stealthily be glided forward, his nostrils dilated and his eyes gleaming. Now he was so near that be could hear the exultant words of the Bannocks, But their ex ultatlon was doomed to be short lived for a swift arrow from the bow of Imna pierced the heart of one, while a shorp ; tomahawk from the same fnl hand sank deep into the skull of the other. ' It was Imna who now sent a cry of exultation ringing from rim rock to rim rock up the steep wild can- 'yon. It was Imna who returned to his camp that evening driving his own ' nonle8 and those of hts enemies. 1 Sprained Ankle.
