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

than is grown along this clear, rapid
river, fifty miles from railroad traus-

When catching fish from the Imna
ha, or when hunting deer over its
hills the Wallowa and Union county
pleasure seeker rarely stops to con
sider how the river got Its name.
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.
