In pursuit, and tha Indians were re

their principal chief, was killed. Soros
say the volunteer murdered him, while
others put the blame on Indians. No
ona thought It worth while to Inquire
Into the causa of the kllllnc. At thai
particular moment I'mtux was a better
Indian dead than alive, and that was
enouch.
Haiti la Cascades Rewarted.
All previous conditions of excitement
In Portland were paled Into Inalcnlfl
caace by tha receipt of news on the
evenlnc of March SC. lISi, that there
had been a serious battle at the Cas
cades. Next day a public meetlnc wi
held and a company, captained by L. J.
Powell, was organised In go to the
Cascade, The volunteers were re
fused tha nee of the territorial arms
by those who had them In charge.
They managed, however, to pick up
30 rlcea of various descriptions and
started away early In the morning of
March 3t on the steamer Fashion. Pro
eurtnjr arms and ammunition at Van
couver, after much delay, they reached
tha Cascade loo lata to ba of service.
At J.JO P. M. on March the. Port

Captain Stephen Coffin, left Portland
on the fteamer Jennie Clark. That
evening they camped at the mouth of

At t o'clock the next morning they re
embarked and made aa early landing
at Johnson's, tba upper stopping point
for ateamera. Thay did not find any
Indiana, aad returned to Portland.
Raeaaegee af ladlaaa Reported.
Following the news of lha battle ac
the Cascades came a rumor tnat the
Indiana were within six miles of Van
couver, laying the country waate and
murdering all ace, arxea and condi
tional of people. This must hare baan
the scare that brought the City Coun
cil together en March 3T. llil. to con

sans praying for a night watch to pro
ject their lives and property from the
depredations of (our common enemy)
the Indiana. The Council went Into
committee of the whole, and reported
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
"Resolved. That the City Marshal. In

Is hereby Instructed to procure the

trustworthy men to stand watch with

to protect the city; and furthermore,
that each man shall receive 13 a night
for his cervices. "
A la rasa Art Few aad Caaaelroa.
The night guards were posted, but
they never had anything more serious
than a few causeless alarms to dl
with. One night they heard rustlings'
and gruntlnce among a pile of barrel
staves st r'ltrri distillery, on th
north waterfront. As Indiana were sup
posed to grunt, the peculiar noises In
a distillery yard In a dark Winter's
nlrht caused the hair of the young
guardsman lo stand on end. The
crnntera turned out to be pigs and not

At the evening ealon Mayor

preside, but he waa not pnr..u
thn 100 names were reported on the
li - .ni..nteer. II. W. Davis was
chosen captain of the defenders, and
Instructed to post guard over the city
that night. And so Portland went to
bed on Mrrh 3. confident that
the home guard would protect It in Its
slumber.

The war had Its comic aa well as
serious side. Mayor Vaughn furnished
whatever humor there waa. .At the
moment when everyone was on edge,
the Mayor convened the Council In spe

ing a pollro force to guard the out
skirts. The Council met In due form.
J C. Carson presiding. Mayor Vaughn
a'npeared and took a seat In the lobby.
He was Invited lo a seat within the
nsr. but declined to accept. Mr. Car

suggestion he might deem proper. The
Mayor arose and with great dignity
said he had nothing to offer. He then
retired and left word that he desired
to speak -to Mr. Carson at his store

Side of Portland, then a forest. Clinton
Kelly had a two-story house to which
many people flocked when danger
from the Indiana waa considered seri
ous. The house stood upon a high
knoll and could easily be fortified. It
wss destroyed by fire In October, IStl.
In later years. J. W. Kern built a mod
ern realdenca upon the historic spot.
After the fight at the Cascades hun
dreds of people from the surrounding
country came Into Portland for safety
and remained here while they felt
there was any danger. Aa late as
April 7. 185. 20 settlers on Sauvle'a
Island "apprehending danger from the
Indians, and being almost entirely des
titute of the necessary means of de
fense." petitioned Multnomah County
for arms and ammunition. Still later,
at Vancouver, a large, strong block
house waa built back of the eastern end
of the barracks.
War la Readily Fere often.
Portland forgot the great war about
aa readily as It forgets Its floods. By
the second week of May. most of
tha Oregon Mounted Volunteers who
served tinder Colonel Cornelius, had ar
rived In Portland after being mustered
out. The gallant soldiers, pale and
haggard and poor of flesh, found a
rhamplon In the worthy Dryer. "No
state official was here to welcome
them." Dryer complained. 'There was
no more manifestation of sympathy
than would be accorded a kennel or
dogs." Bright Spring weather came
on and "bold young bloods were In
duced to crowd the Reason with 'heir
coats and beaver hats" and "young
women promenaded the streets and
talked of Spring styles and parades."
The rjermanla Band, the forerunner of
the "little tiermark band" of a later gen
eration, resumed the serenades which
the battle at the Cascades hsd stopped.
A merchant told the editor of Ths Ore
gonlan that business waa dull, and to
verify the report. Dryer walked the
length of Front street, then the only
artery of traffic In the budding city.
He found "the whole commercial board
seated on doorstlls whittling and gos
siping." And the redoubtable Mayor
Vaughn? To use Vaughn's own words
and punctuation: "O. W. Vaughn is
still alive! Aa largo as life!! And
twice aa natural'!!"

ALL the dearly-beloveds of Kate
Douglas Wlfrgln's famous story,
"The Birds' Christmas Carol," will
appear on the stage of the "Little The
ater" on five occasions this week and
next. Their first appearance is on De
cember 28. 30 and January 1. 2. 3.
The Little Theater has been pre
pared by the Drama League as a house
of entertainment, especially for chil
dren. As an institution It Is the direct
outcome of "Alice in Wonderland.
Miss Frank Towslee. who coaches the
small actors, says: "The children and
their mothers seemed to enjoy 'Alice
In Wonderland" so much and were so
Interested and so enthusiastic over hav
ing one of the children's best-loved
book friends put upon the stage for
them that It seemed to me there waa
a place In Portland for a children's
theater, where the best of children's
Plays would bo regularly provided for
them.
"Miss Josephine Hammond was anx
lous for- an experimental theater for
the Drama League, and so we plungea.
The Little Theater is in no sense a
commercialised theater. "We have to
charge admission, naturally," said
Miss Towslfje. "but It Is to mec ex
penses. We only hope we will be able
to meet all expenses. "We certainly do
not hope to make any money out of it
Our plan. Is to have something every
Saturday for the children."
There will be several presentations
of each play, five of the "Birds' Christ
mast Carol." followed by two Satur
days of moving pictures. In February
-The Silver Thread." a Cornish folk
play In three acta, by Constance Mac
kay. will be given. In this the children
will meet their fnmlllar fairy tale char
scters. a princess and some wicked
goblins. The managers Just now are
negotiating with Winthrop Ames for
the right to produce the dramatisation
of "Snow White." which was presented
in his Little Theater two years ago
in New York.
"We have a chance to use two or
three manuscript plays." says Miss
Towslee. "plays that have won prizes
offered by the Drama League. Later
we may give a dramatization of 'The
Pled Piper.' In between the production
of plays there will be Saturdays de
voted to pictures, programmes especial
ly planned to instruct as well as en
tertain, stories told with the pictures
whenever possible. and children'a
songs. Miss Kuih creea nas sung- on
two occasions for the children and
other vocalists have promised their
services."
Miss Towslee Is coaching the play
ers in "The Birds' Christmas Carol."
and a finished performance is assured.
Miss Winifred Crowther will appear
