LETTERS AND MESSAGES (Continued From Pm 1) Society keep a standing ud In both local paper, with phone number. which anv one may call up tor the purpose of reporting such case, and It 1 not absolutely necessary to give lu the name of reporter although It I better to do so. Dut us there are some who are disinclined to give their names In reporting, that part of report may le omitted. Uut It U, to say the least, u cowardly thing fur one to witness case of abuse of animal without making some effort t n relieve It. nud whoever doe so is a bad as the perpetrator of the sin. The least a witness of such cruelty can do is to can up xne puone uuiu- ler of the Humane Society and re port, giving such Information a wlil enable the case to be called to ne count. The Humane Society stauds for our t-tnte law governing the care and treatment of human aud mil rual. The horse, being the most useful and necessary helper In all our labors. Is. sad to relate, often the most Imposed upon and abused. In iplte of the fact that our legislation ha nrovlded law against over driving, overloading and underfeed Ing, and It is to our credit as a com munlty that all shall take a pride in seeing these law enforced la ws which relate both to human and all animal. We are living In a prosperous age, with plenty for all, and none should be bo Influenced by the spirit of "frenzied finance", greed and selfish ness as to permit any to be underfed or In any other way abused. "God made the animals for man' use," Is often quoted by so-called religious people, but It must be added that He also made man to be their pro tector. Solomon, wisest of kings, was fond of saying, "The great should always protect the weak. It Is to be hoped that any and all uerson witnessing any iorui oi crueltv to human and animal will avail themselves of the opportunity which our humane society afford of correcting such cruelty; and further more, the people of this beautiful and prosperous city and valley should give their hearty support to the maintenance of said society and en. courage It In it God-Inspired mission by becoming member, which calls for no other obligation than the small fee of one dollarayeartowanls the support of the society. It I not only a much-needed function In our city and valley, but It also reflect a pride and credit on u a a prosper ous and civilized community. Citizen. Profitable Hens Editor of the News: I noticed in last week's News that Mr. liatten has -10 hen that produced 47 dozen egg in one month. I would like to give you an account of my egg record as I have so near the same numlier of hen. I have 41 hen that produced W dozen and 11 eggs In the month of March. Next! Yours truly. Mr. Lai ha Moohk REMINISCENCES OF EXPRESS MESSENGER IN EARLY DAYS (Continued from Pag 1) carousal. He afterward married an Indian woman on the Umatilla reservation, the widow of A. H. Koby, a white man, well known all over the state. If my memory serve me right, Itoby died of heart trou bles, aggravated to a fatal termina tion by the last Cayuse war. He left hi widow and children well fixed nanclally, which Vaughn soon made Inroad on by his periodical prees. Contrary to the usual cus- orn of bail men. Hank old not die with his boots on," but peacefully In tied, with pneumonia. In March I tendered my resigna tion a a Wells Fargo messenger and accepted a position as pilot In the employ of the O. M. N. Co. on the upper Columbia river. The salary paid by the express company, $1.Y per month, I did not think sufficient compensation for the arduous duties In many cases required. Our lives were In constant Jeopardy from road agents and I always attributed Mr. (,'ann'a and my escape from the ban dits that ever roamed the land to our never-ceasing vigilance and the always-ready shot gun. I never un derstood Just why such large amounts of treasure should be sent plied up In The Dalles, to await the opening of navigation to Portluud, a not a ceut of It was sent over the land route. NOME WKI.I. KNOWN MKNSKMiKKS. II I', Paige was one of the best known of Wells Fargo messengers. Hi route was to Canyon City and return. On one trip he wa attacked by a band of Snake Indians. A short time previous he hud by some mean obtained a Winchester re peating rltle. I think It was one of the first brought to the state. He had lieen expecting trouble, so kept a sharp lookout, ami wheu they did come he wa ready for them. The Indian came by on the run. The trusty Winchester was In evidence. A they circled around, the death- dealing guu kept speaking and empty saddles were soon seen.' The devil was evidently lu the gun, for It never ueeded reloading, aud they tied In dismay. The principal damage done wa a ball through the driver's mouth that took out a couple of molars and cut the end of his tongue off. For hi bravery Paige was pre sented with a silver-mounted Win chester, nnd later promoted to the auperlntendency of the Oregon de partment. Ad Edgar was another well-known messenger of early days. Later he went to Aluska, where he died. Lew Day aud Manning Hol land were well known In Portland. Holland died lu The Dulles of tuber culosis, and Day died In Eastern Washington. Mat ISledso worked on the Walla Walla-Dolse City route. I never knew what became of hliu. E. V. Mossman rau a private express north from Walla Walla Into the Spokane country. Mr. Mossman ha been a resident of Portland for many yenrs. T. it. Cann, after leav- ing the express company, was clerk of the board of school laud commis sioners at Salem, afterward moving to Seattle. lst!t, I think, was 'the last year the express company used messengers; ufter that they subsl- lized the steamboat pursers, am) they attended to the business foj them.
