large as New Bngtsnd and tbe state of
Indiana combined, which seemed to tn
without any mslthe ownendilp. But
for Marcus Whitman It would havo
ban loit to the I'nlon.
It was In is':'i thai Dr. Whitman and
a man hy the iiuie of Spatildlug. with
their young wives, the Urut white wo

Whitman took the alarm Than was
no tluie to lose. The authorities -at
Washington must he wartiml. Hastily
bidding his wife adieu, I'r. Whlt.uan
started on his baaardoni lourney. The
'rlN. hardships and d. lays he en-
eonntsrad on the way we can hot faint

to sonrch .ill wagons, and If he should :
dllCOVer whisky to destroy It. Taking j
a corporal and three or four men. he
commenced the search for the contra
band article and found at last a barrel
of whisky In an emigrant wagon. The !
officer ordered his men to roll the bar
rel out of tho wagon, knock In tbs head
and empty the contents on the ground, i
This was done, but It chanced that the
spot where the whisky wns emptied
Wai Just above the spring, and the
Bary liquid went iourlng down into
the water supply of the camp.
The soldiers saw what was going

commanding officer, with maudlin
mien and many a "hie," that that was
tho finest sprlug he had ever soon au I

Major OTarrell was apprehending
an attack fiom the Indians that night,
nnd the coudltlon of his men fairly dis
heartened him. He saw at a glance
that oven a small band of savnges
could make a successful raid on his
camp, consequently the sober and less
Intoxicated men wore kept ou the alert
all night. Fortunately, no Indians put
lu an appearance, and by morning the
debauched men had slept off their in
toxication. Thus tbe gap In the mountains
where the camp was made received
the name of Whisky Oap. Eor many
years It was the favorite camping
place for the more credulous of the
old freighters and emigrants of the
"trail days," but the little spring was
