Kvery well-versed mnn, woman and child of these two counties especially should know something of Joseph's early life; of his so journ In Wallowa county; of his betrayal by emissaries from the Great Whltn Father ut Washing ton; his successful retreat of such military strategy that It became the wonder of the nation; his no torious hide and seek with the .Ameriean army of vastly superior numbers during the tenors or a terrific winter near th' Canadian line; of his capture; of his banish ment from his happy hunting grounds of Wallowa suited to his needs, to sand dunes and wastes Market loeFs Phone Main 759 STAR TODAY- JACK In "HACK TRAIL" And "Wolves of the North" SEE "THE THIEF OF I5AGDAD" Is -if an parailvely ren in date and com imands more than passing mention, Tragedy had played leap frog with this chieftain In his prime; catas trophe was nipping at his heels in advancing age; disappointment crowned his declining years. Yet ho saw a last chance to regain his stolen rlf? his and came hack to his home of former, days on such a mission. j Ills T.ast Appeal Standing on tho court house ( steps ho made )ls last appeal f or j his Inheritance. Joseph hypnntix- i ,ed ills audience. Of colossal phys- j (tine yet graceful as u Itoolh, he i had pol.se and carriage, and a pet- j .sonallly that, obi as he was. warm- Md his audience In cause. In I Jiis yonlh, his prime and old age, these regal at I rihnles never for sook Chief Joseph. They were, a pari of him. No other Indian has .embodied all these qualities and few whites of his time could : .insteh ills intellect. Jtnt his plea for safe return of his 1iow wastod remnants uf a once n utile tribe, eventually fell 'on deaf ears. I'rnm Hint climax- of his pletnr CSiue and tragic life Joseph rap Idly fades from the picture eon- stanlly changed by oucomlm; set tlers and death, brought abatement of his m;seriis soon after. lb died as he lived, steeped In tragedy. Where lie Joseph's bones? Where was he hurled? Is the dust of his ::;agnlflcent body and no less magnificent brain amalga mated with the rerllle soil oj" Wal lowa conn I y today, or it is not ? What of the past of the bones in the neglected burial grounds at the fool of Wallowa lake? Who stole the chief's body away al night? All these mie.st Ions are the basis of a wonderful yarn that will charm the generations yet to come J even more than they seem to in- ! t crest us now. Legend, tradition and romance scrambled with historic episodes blend in the story of Wailowa a last-lnming story of man's strng-gle-to preserve tho sanctity of his home, albeit the home was n wlg wan As to tho fads of history they form a story of greed, of nra vice, nf lust, of atrocious robbery by the government officials of the rightful heritages of the Ness Perce Indians. It is a story of the mosl piclurcKtjuc Ifidluu Chieftain oT all Indian chieftains than whom no wiser, courageous or abused chief tain ever lived. It Is a story that needs careful recording In order that Ihe myths, the legends and the t rue facts therein may be handed down to generations un born. To compile the facts tho legends of early Wallowa history into printed form for ready refer ence nnd general knowledge - Is clearly the duty of some local or ganization of public spirited citi zen. ' " ' ' ' So much for the outstanding facts of Joseph's life. Ijiiki; legends. Today, to those who know, the legends arc utmost legion and will always be refreshing. Kor Instance there Is the great stone face at the head of the canypn. Blistering heat and frigid north winds havo changed It not nt all since It stood sentinel over Joseph's tribesmen, ready to give warning on tho ap proach of a foe.
