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.

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

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."

Public Library Notes
QJOME of the fine books on Japanese
kj color prints from tno .Henry .rail
ins memorial collection have been
placed on exhibit in the case on the
second floor of the lobby at the Cen
tral Library.
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.
The trade directories In the techni
cal room are proving- of great value
to business men: Kelly s directory o
merchants, manufacturers and shipper
of the world. Thomas' register
American manufacturers, and the t-x
porters' encyclopedia are those in great
est use.

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

tribution to the historical narratives of

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

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.

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.

of the Pat-Hook S ranch, and he hasi

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.

It was recently stated by his pub

Harold Bell Wright have been sold.
Mr. Wright is the author of such
successful novels as "The Shepherd of
the Hills." "The Calling of Dan Mat
thews." "The Winning of Barbara
Worth. 'and "Their Yesterdays."
Occasionally, it seemed to readers of
these novels, that something was want

the books of such a "big seller," but in
the novel "When a Man's a Man." Mr.
Wright has "come back." It Is one of
those pure-minded, healthy man's sto

thing pleasant to remember, after the

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6. 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

nouncement made yesterday by Post

The indelible Ink of such pencils is
composed of black graphite and coal
tar dyes. The scarcity of the latter
product, which to a great extent are
manufactured exclusively in Germany,
has recently forced the price of such,
pencils from $1 to tl.50 a dozen and lias
mad the article so scarce as to be
virtually unobtainable. The order was
made by A. M. Euckery, Third Assist
