WHE.V President Taylor was ready
to appoint a successor to Gen
eral Jo Lane as Governor of
Oregon territory, he offered the place
to Abraham Lincoln.
"No, sir-ee," was the reply that came
back over the telegraph wire. Ten
years later Abraham Lincoln was Pres
ident of the United States.
The Civil "War broke out. Oregon
had become a state in 1839. Lincoln
sent a requisition for "a full regiment
of Oregon cavalry to be organized and
report to Colonel E. D. Baker on the
Potomac."
Colonel E. D. Baker was Oregon's
first Republican Senator, who, to
gether with James W. Nesmith, his col
league, had gone on to Washington.
Oregon was stirred io its center.
The drum beat was heard in every
village. Young men leaped at the
country's call. In a short time the
regiment was ready and waiting for
word to join its Colonel on the Po
tomac. But while they were waiting
a message flew over the continent:
"Colonel E. D. Baker fell at Ball's
Bluff, bravely fighting for his coun
try." Just before his death in October,
1S61. in the uniform of a Colonel,
fresh from the camp of his regiment.
Colonel Baker thrilled the Senate of
the United States with a speech in
support of the Union.
Colonel Baker Praised.
In his "Twenty Years in Congress."
Blaine says: "From the far-off Pa
cific came Edward Dickinson Baker,
a Senator from Oregon, a man of ex
traordinary gifts of eloquence; lawyer,
soldier, frontiersman, leader of popu
lar assemblies, tribune of the people.
In personal appearance he was com
manding, in manner most attractive,
in speech irresistibly charming. Per
haps in the history of the Senate, no
man ever left so brilliant a reputa
tion from so short a service."
While inspiring his men to loftiest
heroism on that fateful field of Ball's
Bluff. Oregon's Senator-soldier laid
down his life forever.
Immediately all the regulars in gar
rison on the Coast were summoned
East. Oregon's cavalrymen, who had
enlisted for the Potomac, were now
detailed to fill the vacant posts of the
regulars in Oregon. Washington and
Idaho. The Indians had heard of the
war beyond the mountains and the
Northwest could not be left unguarded.
Colonel Joseph Hooker left his Ore
gon farm to become General Joe
Hooker, of the Union Army. Grant
had already gone, leaving his name
indelible on a mountain pass where
he camped for a night Grants Pass.
Sheridan, who. since the battle at the
Cascades, had been stationed on
reservation, and many others were soon
en route to Eastern battlefields.
Sheridan In Oregon.
All the world has heard of Sherl
dan at Winchester, but few know any
thing about Sheridan at Yamhill.
After the battle of the Cascades.
Sheridan, with his little detachment
of dragoons, was ordered to the reser
. vation in the Coast Mountains, includ
tng the Cirand Ronde. in Polk and
Yamhill counties, and the Siletz. north
of Yaquina Bay.
Sheridan arrived there in April
vm. 1 he Rogue Rivers, with Old
Chief John, had just arrived. The Table
Rocks were sent there under a guard
01 100 soldiers. ho excited were th
settlers through whose territory these
Indians were to pass that they talked
or an armed force to resist their col
in?. Soon other tribes Coquilles,
iMamams, .tioaocs ana uninooKs some
tnousanas anogetner tound homes on
the shores of the Pacific.
It was no small work to get these
Indians all into civilized clothing. John
r. Miller, the agent, set to work teach
ing the Indians to plow and sow!
The girls were taught to do house
work and use the needle. In the
schoolliouse boys and girls were taught
to read and write. ,
Lieutenant Sheridan, for a time the
only Army officer present, was busily
engaged In erecting Fort Yamhi
Three pretty white housese were built
for the officers, among the green oak
trees. The Grand Ronde in a state of
nature was a lovely spot, like the
park of an English nobleman, and
here at any time, Sheridan might have
been seen with his dogs and his gun,
roaming all over the reservation. Sheri
dan was a great hunter, and often went
fishing in the Yamhill River. Genial,
approachable, he was always ready to
stop and chat with the employes, and
pat the sunny curls of the agent's lit-
le daughter. Kulla-kulla.
Very soon Chief John, over on the
Siletz. got up a rebellion and Sheridan
and his troopers were sent to quell it.
Sheridan found that on acconut of some
failure of the commissariat the Indians
were out of Pood and in danger of star
vation. Blaming the agent for this,
they had besieged him for days in a
Col, . . &&7ez.
log hut. and Sheridan arrived just in
time for rescue.
Sheridan had driven with him over
the mountains a few head of beef cat
tle, and ordered them killed at a little
distance from his camp. The Indians
rushed up like wild men and drew their
knives. Immediately Chief John leaped
to Sheridan's side and bade the Indians
"Back." and in his rude eloquence held
that hunger-crazed crowd at bay until
Sheridan's company could hasten up
from camp.
Sheriday always felt grateful to
Chief John for his loyalty on that oc
casion, and often secretly aided his fam
ily with gifts of coffee and sugar.
The Winter was very rainy, the In
dians were homesick and many of
them died. It is not your wars, but
your peace, that kills my people." said
Chief John solemnly. Soon after, a plot
was discovered among the Indians to
run away from the reservation and get
back to their old home in Southern Ore
gon. Chief John and- his son, the lead
ers, were arrested and put on a steamer
to be sent to California. When the
steamer arrived off Rogue River, old
Chief John and his si nearly cap
tured the vessel in their effort to es
cape and swim to the shore they loved
so well.
In July, 1856. to their mutual grief,
Sheridan's troopers were ordered away.
They had made long and tiresome
marches with Sheridan, fought Indians,
forded swift mountain streams and
swum deep rivers, ferrying their bag
gage on rafts and bundles of reeds.
'and in all and everything had done
the best they could for the service and
their commander."
'They little thought," says Sherfdan,
in his "Memoirs," "when we were in the
mountains . of California and Oregon,
nor did I myself then dream, that but
a few years ,were to elapse before it
would be my lot again to command
dragoons, this time in numbers so vast
as of themselves to compose almost an
army."
The greatest work that Sheridan was
called to do was to put a stop to some
of the Indians' barbarous customs. One
of these was the practice of killing the
doctor when anyone died. In extrava
gant grief they would burn their
houses, destroy their clothing and fur
niture, kill their horses, and pile their
rations into the grave of the dead. Of
course there could be no progress in
civilization so long as such barbarities
prevailed. Sheridan could speak Chin
ook, the "court language" of the tribes.
like a native, and took the case in
hand.
Sheridan Vsea H It it.
At first he tried to argue with them.
and explain the uselessness of such
conduct. They onlyshook their heads.
You are a white man. You are not
like us." Finally, one day an old In
dian woman doctor was killed Just as
she was fleeing to Sheridan's house for
protection. Sixteen Indians were alter
her and 16 wounds were in her body.
Sheridan knew every man of the
Rogue River tribe. He went to their
village and called a council. No one
was with him but the sergeant wno
held his horse. He commanded them to
give up the men who shot the woman.
The Indians refused. Sheridan insisted.
Hot words followed, and the Indians
crowded up. Sheridan put his hand to
his hip for his pistol it was gone.
They had stolen it. Modifying his de
mand to gain time, Sheridan moved to
ward his horse. Mounting, he sped to
ward the Yamhill, fast as ever he rode
at Winchester, and called from the far
ther bank. "The sixteen men who killed
the woman must be given up. and my
six-shooter also." Only laughter floated
across the Yamhill River.
Sheridan resolved to march with 50
men to their village thje next morning
and bring them to terms. At daylight
Princess Mary, the daughter oi uniei
Jo of Table Rock, came to Sheridan's
house.
VThev are armed and painted for
war," said Mary. "I cannot persuaae
them to obey."
With this information. Just before
daylight the next morning Sheridan
surprised them in the rear and cap
tured their chief. Thousands of In

at Eilers Hall last
Thursday night. It was a pleasant,
rriendly occasion. More than 100 of
Portland's musical community profes
sional and amateur called and made
themselves acquainted. Miss Smith
made a most excellent impression with
her cordiality. She played several
solos on the harp, showing that she is
a finished, expert player on that in
strument. Miss Smith plans to make
her home in this city.
A delightful programme was given
recently by the Albany College Girls'
Glee Club at Westminster Presbyterian
Church. The opening numbers, a group
of college songs, most of them Al
bany's especial eongs. were heard with
interest. "The Moths" (Palicot). a
dainty and charming chorus, was per
haps the most popular, and the popu
lar skit, "The Professor at Home," was
received with enthusiasm. The entire
programme was: Choruses, "College
Sonce." "Lullaby" (Mozart). "The
Moths" (Palicot). "The Professor at
Home," piano -solo; "Russian Dance"
(Kriml). Miss t,illian Dunn; vocal so
los, "The Robin Sings in the Apple

what the boastful Rogue Rivers would
do.. The-16 culpVits came in and laid
down their arms at the feet of Sheri
dan's men. They were set to work
with ball and chain. From that day no
more doctors were killed and no more
property destroyed.
Fifteen years later, when Sheridan
came back to visit his old post, he
found those Indians, he says, 'trans
formed into industrious and substan
tial farmers, with neat houses, fine
cattle, wagons anf horses, carrying
their grain, eggs and butter to market
and bringing home flour, coffee, sugar
and calico in return."
From the day that Sheridan heard of
the firing on Fort Sumter, he was
deeply anxious to return to the States.
Greatly exaggerated reports of the
first battles reached Oregon, creating
intensest excitement. Mail arrived at
the reservation only once a week, by
express from Portland. On the day of
the mail Sheridan would go ouf early
in the morning to a lofty hill, where
lie could see a long distance down the
road of the Yamhill Valley, and there
he would watch and watch for the mes
senger. He was afraid the war would
end before he could get there. Finally,
one day the call came for him to go.
Confidentially he whispered to a
friend. "I am determined to win a Cap
tain's commission, or die in the at
tempt; Little did' he or anyone else know
that Phil Sheridan would become one
of the greatest heroes of that or any
other war.

Regiment's Record I'roud One.
May 1, 1898, Dewey sunk the Span
ish fleet in Manila Bay. May 25th, a
regiment of Oregon volunteers weighed
anchor for the Philippines. It was the
Oregon boys that Honolulu first feted
the Oregon boys that came to the La-
drones and disembarked to effect the
surrender of the islands: the Oregon
boys that anchored off Cavite 60 days
after Dewey's famous battle. With the
sunken ships of Admiral Montojo's
fleet lying in the harbor before them,
they watched the walled -city; in 44
days the Oregon boys were the first
Americans to enter the gates of Manila.
In the following Filipino war the
Oregon boys acquitted themselves with
credit in 22 engagements: in the van
guard of all our brave Americans they
captured Baliuag, San Ildefonso, Maa
sin, San Miguel and San lsidro. the in
surgent capital. Oregon boys made the
gallant charge at Malabon and swept
the trenches supposed to be impreg
nable. "Where are your regulars?" General
Wheaton was asked at Malabon.
"There are my regulars." he answered,
pointing to-the Oregon volunteers. No
wonder the General called them his
"Oregon greyhounds" nothing could
hold them back, They have made the
name of Jhe American volunteer re
spected to the ends of the earth.
Where all were heroes, who shall be
named? Never will Oregon forget Gen
eral Owen Summers, whose "Move For
ward" was the watchword of the Army.
Never wl she forget Thornton, com
manding Lawton's scouts, who crossed
the burning bridge at Tarbon to cap
ture San lsidro. Never will she forget
Povey, who. when Manila was taken,
though the bay was lashed with storm
and his launch sank under him. fended
40.000 rations safely in Manila for dis
tribution to the exhausted volunteers.
Never, will she forget the warrior
chaplain. Will S. Gilbert, who nursed
her boys In camp and swamp and bat
tle, who. with the bullets flying around
him at Malabon, went down into an old
well to bring them water the only
chaplain in the whole division that
went on the firing-line and followed
the 34 days' march of continual battle
from San lsidro to Calumpit. These
are heroes, moral heroes, physical
heroes, who have "woven a wreath of
immortal glory around "The Second
Oregon."

It very, very fine. Mix to a smooth
paste with one egg, seasoning to taste
with salt and pepper. Add. if liked, a
few grains nutmeg or mace, a grating
of lemon peel, one tablespoon of butter
(to one cup meat paste) and one table
spoon grated Parmesan cheese. Mix
thoroughly. Take a teaspoon of the
mixture and put on the rolled-out paste
about two Inches from the edge, then
another teaspoonful two inches from
the first, and so on until you have a
row of tiny heaps of meat across the
paste. Then fold over the edge of the
paste so as to cover the mixture and
press st the bottom. Brushing the
paste with egg makes it easier to keep
the edges together. Cut apart into
small squares, pressing the edges
closely so that the meat does not fall
out. Repeat this until all the paste and
meat mixture are used up. Drop these
little parcels, or "ravioli." Into boiling
salted water, a few at a time, boiling
for 10 minutes. Serve with tomato
sauce or butter and grated Parmesan
cheese. i
The filling can be varied almost In
definitely. Fish, brains, liver, hard
egg. ham. spinach, cottage cheese,
onions and mixed vegetables are among
the "foundation materials." while a
great variety of seasonings may be
used.
Sweet ravioli may be filled with Jam.
jelly or chopped nuts and 'dried fruit.
or cheese cake mixtures. They are
usually fried like doughnuts and served
with a sprinkling of sugar as a dessert
or cake substitute.
"One. Two. Three. Four Cake" has,
as you say, one cup butter, two cups
sugar, three cups flour and four eggs,
with three-fourths cup milk or water
and 114 to 114 teaspoons baking pow
der. Mix by the usual method for but
ter cakes and bake on a loaf or in lay
ers or as cup cakes. Line the loaf
pan with paper.

PORTLAND. Or.. Jan. I. WH you kindly
give directions for mincemeat, also for Eng
lish or "ttusslau" toffee or butterscotch?
MHS., E. B.
The following recipesvare typical of
the way in which mincemeat can be
adapted to suit personal tastes and
pocketbooks. The richer kinds ctn al
ways be made "plainer" by the addition
of extra apples. Grated carrots, mashed
squash, green tomatoes and mashed
sweet potatoes are also used by some
people to "dilute" a very rich mince
meat when strict economy has to be
studied. It is always to be remembered
that a piece of "real" mince pie is prac
tically a meal in Itself rather than an
adjunct to a meal. Treat it kindly, and
give it a fair chance, uncrowded by
other rich foods, and niltxce pie will
usually belie its deadly reputation.

grees. Then either pour in "drops" the
size of half a dollar, or pour into a.
greased tin and mark in squares, when
half cold. If butterscotch is wanted
flavored with vanilla it is better to
cook a little vanilla bean, or lemon
rind (yellow on both sides) in the early
stages of the syrup, removint before
the "feather"' is reached, than to use
"extracts" at the end and risk granu
lation. A richer butterscotch is made as fol

ORCHATtrvs, Wash., Jan. B. Will ynu
kindly publish your best recipes for mince
meat? Yours truly, MRS. J. 6.
Note the reply given above. "Best" de
pends upon personal taste. Write agsin
if you want anj' others, as I have
many mincemeat recipes.
The following recipe is published at
the request of the Parent-Teacher As
sociation committee on the high cost
of living. Other special recipes in con
nection with this work will appear la
this column from time to time.
Entire wheat bread Two cups
scalded milk, one-fourth cup brown
sugar, or one-third cup molasses, one
level teaspoon salt, one fresh yeast
cake, softened In one-fourth cup luke
warm water, about four and two-thirds
cups coarse entire wheat flour. Add
the sweetening and salt to the milk.
The amount of each may be varied to
suit ersonal taste. Cool the milk to
lukewarm, then add the softened yeast
and flour. Beat well, cover, and let
rise to double bulk. Beat again, and
turn into greased bread pans, having:
the pans only half full. Let rise to
not quite double bulk before baking.
This is one of the easiest of breads
to make, particularly if a breadmixer
is used to do the beating. The mixture
should be just too soft to knead-
When molasses is used for sweetening
ome makers add one-fourth teaspoon
soda dissolved in one teaspoon water,
at the last beating, before putting th
ha
bread Into the pans.
The same mixture makes excellent
breakfast or luncheon gems. If baked
In well-greased gem pans. Let rise,
of course, before baking. The addi
tion of one cup or more nut. meats
(with or without more sugar to taste)
gives a good nut bread for sand wiche.-v
I regret that I must ask many cor
respondents this week to wait a llttla
longer tor their answers.
