TTTE SUNDAY OREGOXIA5, PORTLAND. AUGUST 13, 1916. 11 V MEN OF VARIED ACHIEVEMENTS AND INTERESTS WIN NEWS PROMINENCE Ex-President of Chile to Be Ambassador to America Robert Bacon Favors Military Training After Seeing- National Guard on Border Bakst to Live in New York. 1 I Baft i 'fa" riJ -4 ?- - - r e9 ti , i ' j 1 ; . .,J II :'x P' " S American fisheries, says Hush M. T Smith in the National Geographic Maf-I azine. From 600 to TOO vessels sought wh'ales in all the oceans and seas oC the world, and in one year New Bed ford alone sent out 300 vessels, whose cargoes of bone and oil were the basis ' of the industrial life of the city. 1 The pursut of sperm whales reached its climax In 1S37, when oil valued at nearly $4,500,000 was brought In. mostly from the South Pacific. The height of the industry was in 1846. when 70.000 persons derived their support ' from whales, and 720 vessels, valued at $21, 001). 000. were engaged. For more than 60 years the fishery has been declining, and in numerous ports that once derived most of their wealth from the industry there have for a long time existed only memories of former greatness. For a number of years the. sperm, right and bowhead whales that supported the fishery in early years have been very scarce and their pursuit has been unprofitable: and the present importance of the fishery, amounting In value to less than 2 per cent of the American fish eries, depends on the taking from shore stations of species of whales that formerly were for the most part neglected. The glory of the whale fishery has departed forever, and the commercial, if not the biological, extinction of all kinds of whales is proceeding' rapidly, undeterred and unlamented by the principal maritime powers. Strange Kind of Snake Is Cephalic Marvel. RptUe Found In Curry County Has Head Shaped Like Tacit Hammer Habits Are Carious. l r CHILE is to have a new Ambassador at "Washington and word comes from Santiago that the successor of Senor Don Eduardo Suarez Mujica will be Senor Don German Riesco. Senor Riesco was at one time President of Chile and he is one of the foremost men of affairs in the Southern republic. Leon Bakst. the famous Russian painter and designer, is going to set tle down in New York. The craze for Bakst's painting developed in Europe two years agoand America went Into enthusiasm over his scenery and cos tumes for the Russian Ballet. That ballet is to go on tour again in October and it will present more Bakst scenery and costumes. Lieutenant William Thaw, of Pitts burg, is one of the American aviators serving in the French army. He has been decorated for bravery and ad vanced to rank of Lieutenant. E. B. Thomas, president of the Le high VSlley Railroad, and V. G. Bes ler, of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, have been indicted for respon sibility in the matter of the violation Of law which led to such great damage In the munitions fire in Jersey City. Robert Bacon, ex-Ambassador to France and a great friend of Theodore Roosevelt, has returned from a trip to the border. After viewing the National Guard there he has come out in a ptrong argument for general military training in the United States. He GOLD BEACH. Or., Aug. 12. (Spe- cial.) A novelty in the reptile i line, & curious kind of snake unseen elsewhere in Oregon, has its habitat on South Sixes River, In Curry County. This snake was discovered by a pros pector and has since been observed oc casionally by other miners. The most uunusual feature of the reptile is its head. It is a cephalic marvel. This curious head, with beady little eyes widely separated, is much broader than long and is placed at right angles to its neck, so that it looks like a tack hammer on a handle. For this reason the snake is locally known as the Hammerhead. The snake uses its mouth with which to swing itself over difficult places. This strange auxiliary to its legless belly not infrequently aids it to get out of a tight place that would be a cul-de-sac for an ordinary snake. The peclmen seen by the discovering pros pector backed like a crawfish 10 times accelerated, wriggled its tail and ether body over an embankment, rabbed hold of a root with its mouth and clinging with its jaws let Itself uickly down, and so out of sight. The snake is only about two feet long and is of a gray rock color. thinks the mobilization of the Guard was well carried out, but he believes it was a- merciful thing that the Guard was not actually required for service against Mexico. Mr. Bacon is a great believer in pre paredness and he was a member of the first Plattsburg camp. Samuel JiIcRoberts, senior vice-president of the National City Bank, and the man who arranged a loan of 150,000.000 ,to the Russian government, spent two months, in Russia and made a careful study of conditions in that country. He thinks the outlook for Russia's future a bright one. He said, when inter viewed, that he had traveled for three days through territory as fertile as the best parts of Iowa and Illinois. H thinks that with vodka prohibited and the war concluded, Russia will leap into prosperity. Mr. McRoberts said further: "The people of America do not appreciate the extent of Russian resources, but should prepare now for a great Russian trade after the war. I think the greatest op portunity lies in the establirhment of branch factories in Russia, thus mak ing American enterprise independent of foreign shipping."

The library Is constantly receiving documents and pamphlets from nearly all the European countries at war many of which are of great interest. One of the latest is a pamphlet "What Is England Doingr sent out by Sir Gilbert Parker, who has taken It upon himself to see that the libraries in this country are supplied with the English propaganda. This is an answer to the criticism that England ia no doingr her full share in aid of the al lies.

Walilatim, by Miles Cannon. Illustrated. Capital News Job Rooms, Boise, Idaho. Mr. Cannon sayeTthat he was impelled to write this narrative because he, a stranger, happened, to be in Walla Walla. Wash., November 29, 1897, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Whitman massacre, and heard con flicting- statements affecting the ac curacy of historical statements -connected with the massacre and other events in relation to it. Mr. Cannon mentions particularly the utterances of an ecclesiastic, at that time, and speaks of the dissent aroused. "In searching through the darkened corridors of the past," writes Mr. Can non, "it has been a source of much gratification to the author to find In Narcissa Prentiss Whitman a charac ter -well intended to exemplify the higher and nobler qsialitles of our race. It was her great privilege to be the first American woman to cross the continent and look upon the waters of the Columbia River, and that fact alone should entitle her to distinction. But when the records of the past re veal In her the beautiful personality we so much admire, and the womanly qualities we would perpetuate, it would be strange indeed if her fol lowers, actuated by her untimely death and the serene and courageous manner in which she faced it, failed to confer upon her, in love and memory, the mystic crown of martyrdom. "While the author, during the inter vening years since 1897. had gathered much detailed information, it wa not until 1915 that he was privileged to meet three of the survivors and hear from their lips the dreadful story of the Whitman massacre. Their recol lections, however, have not been wholly relied upon as a basis of this narrative owing largely to their tender age at the time it oeeurrevj, without a thor ough comparison with contemporane ous statements of people of more ma ture age. All reasonable allowances have been made for faulty memory and only the most reliable testimony. gathered from Innumerable sources, has been used. Spurious writings, vol uminous as they are. have been disre garded altogether. The transactions of the Oregon Pioneer Society have been drawn upon without stint, as have con temporaneous accounts and statements made previous to "and independent of the sectarian controversy, and. it ia believed, the narrative as set down is substantially true." The book, of 171 pages, with paper cover, is a valuable, non-sectarian con tribution to the historical narratives of tno I'aciiic rortnwesL it does not descend to heated controversy, but strives patiently to separate wheat from the chaff, in order to arrive at the truth. Narcissa Prentiss (Mr. Whitman) was born In Prattsburg. N. Y.. March 4, 1808, the third child in a family of nine children, and was reared in he atmosphere of culture, refinement nd learning. Her father was J:dge Prentiss, and the members of her fam lly belonged to the Congregational Church. tr. Whitman was born at Rushville. N. Y., in Septemher, 1U2 nd he and Narei.sFa Prentiss were married In February. 1838. Pr. Whit man took a course In the Berkshire Medical College. Plttsfield. Mass., from which he received a diploma. He prac- iced medicine several vears in Canada. when he returned to his old home and became part owner with his brother n a sawmill. He first united with the Congregational Church In January, 824. and in February. 1833. he Joined the Presbyterian Church, becoming within a month a ruling elder. "Dr. Whitman possessed an amiable disposition, generally speaking, was ncspable of harboring a grudge, no matter now serious the provocation and was considered generous to fault. Ifls eyes were of sparkling blue, set far back under a prominent brow. his mouth was noticeably large, and he outlines of his face denoted stern ness. with the exception or nis up per lip. which he kept shaved, he wore a full beard and was never inclined to be squeamish nor fastidious in dresa. In the practice of his (medical) pro fession in the Oregon Country he fre quently was called a distance of som 200 miles, and even in the dead or Win r. he uttered no complaint. He pos sessed a peculiar disregard for dange in all its forms. His stubborn nature is the basis of legitimate criticism that he endangered the lives of others, by not sendintr them away from the Mis sion for the Winter. It Is not the purpose of this review to sketch the lives or Dr. and Mrs. Whitman. space will not admit of this. The Journey of the Whitmans to Ore gon. their reception at rort Vancouver by Dr. John McLoughlin and others. are interestingly described. It is shown that Rev. Henry H. (Hank) Spaulding, one of the Whitman party, had a vlo lent tamper and was difficult to get along with. He had loved Mrs. Whit man when rhe was Narcissa Prentiss but she preferred another. Waiilatpu, the name of the Whitman mission on the Walla River, so far as the word is concerned, means: f"The place where the rye grass grows." It Is shown also that Dr. McLoughlin was kind to the Whitman party and that he gave them clothing, medicine, building material, etc.. valued at more than J1000. The only child of rr. and Mrs. Whitman, Alice Clarissa. born in 1837. walked one Sunday. In June, 1839. Into the nearby river and was drowned. Rev. Mr. Rpauldlng. it Is stated, dis liked both Dr. and Mrs. Whitman. Con troversies between the different Prot- eBtant missionaries are described. It considered that the Indians, es pecially the savage Cayuses. hated the Americans because they the Indians imagined the Americana had spread smallpox and other diseases. On page 89, it is stated: It was known that Americans had Introduced smallpox at Fort Mwrlnh. that it had been spread by J. P. Beckworth. for the purpose of subduing the Blackfoot tribe, the most relentless of all mountain sav ages, and that the mortality had been dreadful In the extreme." It is shown that there were 30 Indl- ance at the Whitman massacre in 1847, and that Tilaukait owner of the mis sion land and Tamsuky were the two murderers of the Whitman party. Tanwuky especially. Tamsuky toma hawked Dr. Whitman. Mrs. Whitman was shot. Rev. Mr. Spaulding escaped. Soldiers afterward chased the Indian murderers. and five of them sur rendered, and were hanged at Oregon City. Rev. Mr. Spaulding settled on the Tualatin Plains, where his wife taught school. He died In 1874. The contents of the book are: Chap ter one, Narcissa Prentiss, the Ameri can Board. Liberty Landing. Rev.

Executed, Final Curtain. last page is read. The story really reaches high-water mark. Mr. Wright was recently a clergy man, and to get local color for this tale, he actually lived the life of a cowboy, when writing it. "When a Man's a Man" takes its name, from that immortal poem by the Scotch poet. Robert Burns. "A Man's a Man for A" That." The scenes depicted lie around the, unfenced land of ranch and range in. Northern Arizona. Its heroes are most ly cowboys. For the first 62 pages. w wonder what is the name of the hero. He had attended a bronco-busting, an nual Fourth of July celebration at Prescott, Arix.. and was so impressed with the horsemanship displayed by one I'hll Acto.i. foreman of the Triangle Ranch. Bill Baldwin, owner, that he walked to the ranch and asked for a Job. The stranger was tall, strong. was evidently the product of a tailor of rank, and was a city man. There was a something about him "that suggested a lack of the manly vigor and strength, that should have been his." Mr. Baldwin looked with doubt at the applicant for u. cowboy's Job. and said: And what is your name, sir? "My name is Patches, sir. Honorable Patches." Curly Elson. cowbody. laughed, and said: "That's a h of a name, now ain't it?" Patches asked Curly to pet off his horse, and in about five minutes the quiet-looking stranger had given Curly the one beating of his turbulent life After that the name of Patches was respected. Patches tries to ride an outlaw horse that had not yet been "broken." and, was tossed to the ground, insensible- But he quicklv recovered, and under Phil Acton's training, he developed, quickly to be an able horseman. H also lost his look of timidity, and grew; stronger and manlier. A near-by rancher Is Jim Rcid, owner of the Pat-Hook S ranch, and he hasi pretty daughter. Miss Kitty Reid. who had Just returned from school In the East, and found ranch life to be dull. Philip Acton loves her and she almost loves him. but her father saya 'No" to their marriage, as Phil is too poor. Nick and Yanapai Joe are cattle thieves, and Joe is a physical weakling. Patches takes pity on joe, and tries to) rouse him from his cringing terror. Two strangers visit the Reid ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Manning, from) the East. Mr. Manning is a civil en gineer. Mrs. Manning recognises Patches as her former lover, Lawrence Knight, of Cleveland, O.. a millionaire Knight, as Patches had come West tr be a man. Mrs. Manning, some time previously, had refused to marry him. as he was then only a dude. Finding that Kitty Reid longed for the social glitter of the East, Patches proposed marriage to her and was ac cepted. Later. Patches (who concealed the fact that he was a millionaire) found that he still loved Mrs. Man ning. How Patches emerges as a strong man, is worth telling. The Girt Phlllrtm, by Robert W.

The Post office Department, unable owing to ihe war to obtain a sufficient supply of in delible Ink pencils with which to carry on the departmental work, has issued an order that beginning immediately all clerical work must be carried en with pen and ink according to an an nouncement made yesterday by Post master Thornton. The indelible Ink of such pencils is composed of black graphite and coal tar dyes.
