HOOD RIVER, Or, June 24. (Spe
cial.) Hood River grieves today the
loss of Indian George, aboriginal
patriarch and last survivor of Indian
men born In the Mid-Columbia before
the coming of the white man, -who
met death alone at some hour last
night when a truck by an O.-W, R. &
N. train. His body, severed In twain,
was found this morning In the freight
yards at a crossing within a few hun
dred feet of the little Indian village
on a promontory jutting out into the
Columbia, where for the last dosen
'years George and Beveral other Indian
families have lived.
News of the old man's death spread
rapidly today, and hundreds of his
white friends followed the hearse to the
Knights of Pythias Cemetery, where,
according to the old man's wish, the
service was conducted by white men.
Rev. Elijah Hull Longbrake, pastor of
the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church,
officiating.
Among those at the graveside were
E. L. Smith, Northwestern pioneer and
former secretary of Washington Ter
ritory, whose friendship for the old In
dian has lasted for 41 years, and Mrs.
Alma Howe, of the Cottage Farm re
sort, who for 25 years has been
George's closest friend and adviser.
When the simple service was ended
the body of the patriarch was deposited
in its last resting place on a little plot
of ground that George purchased sever
al years asro on advice of Mrs. Howe.
The little burial plot was marked by
its neatness, for George. Summer after
Bummer, had visited the place and kept
it free from weeds. Tonight it is
heaped with flowers of his white
friends, who will see that it is kept
green and not forgotten.
Accompanying the Indian mourners
were scores of Indians, here from the
Warm Springs Reservation to engage
In the strawberry harvest. They were
garbed in the bright colors that strike
an appeal to their primitive natures,
and their copper-hued faces were
streaked with mourning paints.
George Shinldlk Chinadere is the full
name of the departed relio of the
early days, but he was commonly
known as "Indian George." The old
man was a familiar figure on Hood
River's streets, and the Cottage Farm,
of Mrs. Howe, where numerous guests
from Portland frequently saw him.
Because of his accurate predictions
of the heavy snow storm of the Winter
of 1916-17, the old man had won re
pute throughout the Northwest as i
weather prophet. His last words of
prophecy were uttered yesterday aft
ernoon, when. The Oregonlan corre
spondent, greeting him as he returned
up the railroad tracks from his cus
tomarily daily visit to the city, and
asking what he thought of. the high
water of the Columbia, George re
plied: "Maybe so water come some
more before July come."
The correct age of Indian George Is
not known. From his talk it is esti
mated that he had passed the 90-year
mark. He is said to have been born
at an Indian village just west of Hood
River.

CENTURY hence the soldiers'
letters of today will be read and
re-read, as faithfully as are to
day the records of Samuel Pepys, as
self-compiled, of his dallycomings and
goings.
The intimate little details of camp
life, the kaleidoscopic picture of things
as they impress the retina of the yes
terday's citizen" today's soldier while
the change from the soft life of yester
day to the grim reality of the coming
tomorrow is still new enough to make
a marked mental impression all these
make today and will make in the to
morrows of 100 years hence Interesting
reading.
Here for Instance comes Claude M.
Johns, Portland attorney, (that was
a soldier of the U. S. A. that is) and
son of Charles A. Johns, well-known
Oregonlan, with a typical, graphic let
ter of how he found things:
"Somewhere in California,
"Blank Rifle Range,
June 18, 1917.
"Dear Father Had to skip you all
yesterday. Was too dog tired to wrote
much, but did write to until
it got dark, then had to quit. We cer
tainly are drilling and piling up our
share of experience. Left the Presid
io yesterday at 7:30 crossed ttie Bay
and landed at Fort about 400 of
us. Had a six mile hike here heavy
marching order and hot as hades. It
Is just about like leaving Fifth and
Washington street and hiking over the
highest point on the Heights and over
Into Tualatin except that instead of
green hills and trees, there wasn't any
thing green, or a tree in sight just
un-dried grass, a winding country
road.
"There wasn't a thing here when we
came except more dry grass and
thistles. We- got In about 11. The
weeds and the grass had to be all cut
clean for about 100 feet. We chopped
it away with the small entrenching
tools, made a company street and put
up the tents not the dog tents, out tne
large pyramidal, ten men to the squad.
Also we had cots to make and mat
resses to will with straw, and believe
me It was some Job. By 6 o clock
though there were 61 tents up, a fine
street, and everything ship shape and
we finally crawled In at dark, dirt ana
all, the tlredest bunch of men you ever
saw.
There was one faucet for the crowd,
and it is about 600 yards from where I
am. The mess was a real mess. They
are building barracks which are about
half complete, so there was no place
to eat. Took our mess kit, lined up in
cafeteria style and everything was
dumped in.
"The first was a creamed meat por
tion, then mashed potatoes piled on
top, then creamed cauliflower, also put
on top, then prunes or Jam, bread and
butter with an orange and coffee all
piled on a plate about the size of an
ordinary hat. It was some mess but
my it was good, and I went back twice,
(for seconds as they are called in tne
Army).
I finished hungry wo only naa an
hour to line up and get It, and fall n
to work again. Honestly, when I
looked at it, at first I did not think I
CARLTON OFFICE IS ROBBED
Stamps Are Taken and Parcel Post
Matter Is Examined.
CARLTON. Or., June 24. (Special.)
The postoffice was entered some time
last night and stamps amounting to not
over to were taken. The burglar evl
tlently took his time, as several parcel
post packages were examined, but
' nothing was taken so far as can be
ascertained.
The same party made a later attempt
to burglarize the hardware store of
Oravley Bros., "across the street from
the postoffice. Night Watchman Harry
Martin heard the breaking of the glass
and .saw the rays of the burglar's flash
light inside the store. The watchman
went to the telephone office a block
distant and called up the day marshal
and others, but before they arrived the
brglar had left without disturbing
anything.
could even get away with half that
much.
"Today we started shooting at the
200, 300 and 500-yard ranges. I only
shot at the two former, though, yet
passed much time in the butts below
the targets this afternoon. That, also,
is strictly "some Job." Visualize it for
a moment. A narrow concrete ledge
to stand on with the targets about 10
feet above two of them front and two
rear, so arranged that when one is up
the other is down. There are -three
men assigned to a target, one to signal
the hit, one to pull the target dpwn and
one to paste up the bullet hole with
little stickers.
"The 'bull' is five, next circle four,
next three, then two. Differently col
ored markers are used to signal the
score. When the shot is fired, the
marker are used to signal the score.
When the shot is fired, the marker
looks up and sees where it went
through: then signals. The other man
then pulls that target down, the second
target goes up, while the third man
pastes the hole. By the time that is
done the next shot is fired and it is all
to do over again. There are 12 targets
in each butt, and two butts.
"When I tell you that 8500 shots
went through those 24 targets today
an average of 392 bullets to tne target
vou will realize somewhat of how
much work the butt men do.
"When you stand on hard concrete
looking up for six hours, you also can
understand what a real kink in your
neck means; that, added .to the black
and blue shoulders and acning reet,
and. most of the time, empty stomachs,

so hard, as far as I am concerned, as

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 24. Although the House
last night, on a point of order, defeat
ed Representative Slnnott's amendment
... .v.- i (ii will eh would have made
immediately available 20.000.000 for
the new Irrigation P'"J"' -"
Slnnott has not given up hope of get
ting this provision In the bill.
Senator Chamberlain Is In charge of
this food bill In the Senate, and Mr.
Sinnott win ask him to propose tw
same amendment In the Senate, where,
under Senate rules, a point of order
will not lie against it.
The amendment had to be offered at
the end of the bill, following the para
graph appropriating 150.000.000 to en
able the President to purchase or pro
vide for the production of necessaries
of life, and by that late hour the House
was in no humor to dispute points of
o-riar with the chairman. When the
chair ruled the Slnnott amendment out
of order, no appeal was taken.
Mr. Slnnott, before the ruling, main
tained that his amendment was entire
ly germane to the bill, as It would in
crease the erop acreage and therefore
Increase the food supplies of future
years.
He showed that In his district alone,
according to Reclamation Service esti
mates, are 1,000,000 acres of land
which, when irrigated, will produce
40.000,000 bushels of wheat annually.
and 50,000 acres of this land, now em
bodied in irrigation districts, could be
cultivated next year if the money
should be appropriated now.
Mr. Slnnott maintained that an
amendment which would increase the
wheat crop was germane to a bllL de
signed to provide an adequate food sup
ply, especially at a time when there Is
a world shortage of wheat and an un
precedented demand for grain.
The point of order against the Sin
nott amendment was raised by Chair
man Lever, of the agricultural commit
tee.

Record of National Guard and Natural
ization Files Pronounce Two
Frlsonera to Be Slackers.
Th'e family Bible, the records of the
National Guard at Albany, and the
naturalization files at the United
States courtroom, constituted evidence
upon which three alleged violators of
the war census act were arrested and
brought to Portland yesterday. Jona
than J. Henke was brought in from
Condon, and Harry M. Hyde and Guy
Jenkins from Prlneville by Dave Fuller,
Deputy United States Marshal.
Henke maintained his age was past
SI. and said he was born in 1885. He
is a German-Russian, and Deputy Mar
shal Fuller, in exploring the naturaliza
tion records several years old, found
that Henke at that time said- he was
born in 1886.
Hyde told the officers that he was
32 years old and formerly a member of
the Oregon National Guard with . an
Albany company. The militia records
at Albany proved the assertion In one
point and left the matter open to Judi
cial decision in the other, as the rec
ords placed him at 29 years of age.
The old family Bible In the Jenkins
home at Prlneville was the undoing of
Jenkins, who maintained he was 82
years old without doubt. However, the
Bible showed that his birth was re
corded In 1890 and. as a result, be was
held.
The three men were brought to Port
land and placed in the County Jail.
