THE COUNTRY DOCTOR.
THE Pennsylvania state depart
ment of health shows a com
mendable concern not only (or
th6 health of Its citizens, but for tho
scientific and healthy up-to-dntqd-n
ess of tho medical profession In
general and the country doctor In
particular.
Realizing that the country doctor,
shut out (rom tho stimulus of fre
quont conferences and cxnhnngo of
interesting medical experience with
otljor members of his profession, suf
fers from n serious drawbnek In keep
ing up with tho latest methods in
tho practice and theory of modlcluo,
Pennsylvania In 10PG oslabllshed
laboratories throughout tho state that
country doctors might be able to ob
t.orv tho working of tho Intest med
ical cures, bo supplied with tho best
preparations nnd nutl-loxlns, and
havo tho opportunity of dlnguoslng
dlfllcult cases tinder tho most favor
nblo conditions.
Such laboratories nro n great holp
to country doctors In fronting sick
ness and In snvlng life. They should
bo found. In every country district In
nil tho states throughout the Union.
Tho Pennsylvania stato department
of health also sends nut Informntlvo
monthly bulletins .on health matters
of urgent Interest. The common
house fly Is tho subject of ono. It
impresses tho danger of this gorm
carrying and ovory-dny pest In n
thoroughly scientific manner. The
ovll, not to inontlon tho nulsnnco of
tho fly, enn not ho too much dwelt
upon until this unnecessary dnngor
to health has been completely annihilated.
OREGON INDIAN HISTORY.
Tho following pnper was rend by
J. A. Buchanan at ,a meeting of tho
Douglas County Historical Society ro
contly: Tho nnmo "Ump-qua" Is of uncer
tain origin nnd moaning. Goorgo H.
Hliues, of the Oregon Historical So
cloty, wrltcb that there was a story
nlloat many years ago that It was an
Indian word, Hpolled "Un-ca," and
moant "rlvor," but It ban never beon
trncod to nny reliable source.
Henry II. Woodward, a pioneer of
18G0, who probably had more to do
with tho Indians of the Uinpqun Val
loy than nny other man now living,
says that ho was told by tho Indians
that "Umpqiin" wan the namu of a
great chlof who conquered and drovo
out tho tribes then Inhabiting tho
valley, nnd that his followers called
thomsolvoB Umpquns In his honor,
Solomon Rlggs, of Ornndo Rondo,
tho present chlof of tho Umpquns,
does not know tho origin nor moan
ing of the word, but Clara Jourdan,
born nt Grande Rondo, thinks that
tho namo Is EugllHh (meaning not In
dlnn), as they callod tho Uinpqun
different In Indian, something like
Aed-nn-mno, or nearly Et-nu-mno.
Tho nnmo has been known since
tho earliest explorations In this
country, nnd old Fort Umpqun was
established at Elktou by tho Hudson
Uny Company In 18UR. Tho orthog
raphy of tho word has beon various.
Samuel Parker, In his .lournal, writes
of the "Uin-ba-qua" Indians (1840),
nnd again In the saiuo year ho wrltos
tho nnmo "Um-bl-qun." Horatio
Halo (with tho United Stntes explor
ing expedition during tho years
1838-18-12, under tho command of
Charles Wilkes, U. S. N.), lu his
Ethnology nnd Philology, writes of
tho "ITm-guns," nt pago 19 8, and
ngnln nt pago 201 ho wrltos It "Um
kwn." In his report on Indian nf
fairs of ISfifi It Ik wrltton "Um-pa-qnnh
" Oeorge Olbbs, In his "Obser
vations on tho ('oast Tribes (1851),
speaks of the "Umpquahs." Others
liuvo written It "Omkwn," and
"Unique," nnd Meek, lu II. R. Enoch
tlvo Doc :i, :10th Cong., llrst action
(1818), writes the word "Yniu-pe-quaw
" Mr. Illiuoi has n map of
Oregon of 1 S 1 0 , In which tho spell
ing given Is "Ump-qua."
The Indians Inhabiting the Ump
qua Vn'ley wore known us Upper
Umpquns nnd Lower Umpquns, tho
dividing lino being at Brandy Bar.
tho Pacific to Hudson Bay at the
north, and from tho Rio Colorado to
tho mouth of the Rio Grande at the
south.
Tho Pacific division consisted of n
small band In Washington, nnd of
many vlllnges In n strip of nearly
continuous territory nbout 400 miles
In length, beginning at tho vnlloy of
the Umpqun Rlvor nnd extending to
ward tho south nlong tho coast and
Coast Range mountains to tho head
waters of Eel River In California.
Tho following dlnlctlc groups mako
up tho division: Tho Kwnlhloqun
(meaning "nt n lonoly place In tho
woods"), on tho Wlllnpn River In
Washington; tho Umpquns and Up
per Coqulllcs; three small groups In
tho Roguo River Valley; tho Chotcos
on Chetco Rlvor In Oregon; tho Tolo
wa on Smith River and nbout Cres
cent City; the Hupa and Tlcdlng on
lower Trinity Rlvor; the Hollhut on
Redwood River; tho Mnttoles on
Mnttolo Rlvor; the Slnkyone, Lassih
nnd Kuncsto In the valley of tho Eel
uivor in California. But few of tho
mo m hers of this division now remain.
Tho Oregon portion hns beon on tho
Sllotz nnd Grande Rondo reservations
for many years; thoso In California
still rcsldo near their ancient homes.
All tho Athnpascan tribes of South
ern Orogon nro coiiBldored divisions
of tho Umpquns, a part of whom,
cnllod tho Nnhnnkhuntnnn, or Cow
Creeks, or Cow Crook Umpquns, lived
on Cow Crook. Tho nrlnclnal vll-
lago of the Uinqpua wns on tho
Calapoola at Camas Swalo, culled
Hewut. Other Important vlllnges
wero located nt Elkton, Kellogg,
Winchester, Yoncnlla, Olnlla, Camas
Vnlloy and nt Roseburg In whnt wns
known as "Tho Grove," now Hamil
ton s Addition.
When tho whites first enmo Into
tho vnlloy tho principal chlof of tho
Umpquns wns Snu-so-soo, who lived
nt Kollogg. At tho time thoy wore
transferred to the Grande Rondo
reservation, Wllllnmson was tie prin
cipal chief, nnd othors not so great
woro Potor McCoy (McKye), tho old
scout; Tyoo Gcorgo, Bogus, Tom
Johnson, Yoncnlla Billy, Knso, Nol
Ron nnd Joe. Mllwnlotu was a great
chlof of tho Cow Crook Indlnns,
whoso principal vnllngo of about 200
souls was located at what Is now
Glcnbrook, on Cow Crook.
Henry H. Woodward enys that In
1850 tho Umpquns numbored nbout
1500, nnd could muster about 500
wnr.rlors. In 1855 thoy woro trnns
forrod to tho Grande Rondo reserva
tion. In 11)00 thero woro 23 of tho
Cow Crooks still living. In 1902
thero woro 81 UmpqunB still living In
Grnndo Rondo, but at tho prosont
tlmo thero nro not inoro than n
dozon of thorn loft. Solomon Rlggs
Is the present chief, claiming tho
chloftlanshlp by right of successlou.
Tho Umpquns nnd Uppor Coqulllcs
had a logend In early days nbout n
gront battle that was fought nbout
ono hundred nnd fifty years ago be
tween tho Umpquns nnd Cow Crooks
on ono Bldo and tho Uppor Coqulllos
on tho othor. Tho wnr was ovor n
disputed boundary, both tribes claim
ing tho samo hunting grounds In tho
Const Rnngo. Tho opposing forces
mot nt Enchanted Pralrlo, about 20
miles west of Camas Valloy, nnd In
n desporato battle lasting nil day tho
Umpquns woro dofonted nnd hund
reds of wnrrlors slnln. Tho Indlnns
cnllod tho field "Chln-chn-tn-ta,"
moaning "plnco of blood," or "plnco
of bnttlo." It Is snld that ninny
skulls, broken sponrs nnd bows, and
stone nrrow heads aro plowed un
thoro oven to this day. though tho
Indians must havo followed tholr
Invariable custom of burnlnir their

It Is fair and it will bo infinitely

more. Women nro In process thoy

These vlows nro not prompted by
sentiment. Thoy nro not tho pro
duct of n brain storm, but nro, In
my opinion, based upon tho very
very plnlnest nnd commonest truths.
Thoy are not bnBcd upon tho theory
thnt women nro bottor or purer thnn

ed tho angol orn. Personally, ho is
inclined to beltove thnt tho virtues
of tho sexes nro nbout oven. His
vlows nro bnsed upon an ontlroly dif
ferent theory.
This government, ns a whole. Is tho
best thnt hns ovor been ovolvcd by
mnn. Thnt It Ib imperfect nobody
denies. Thnt It enn nnd will bo mndo
bottor, wo bollovo.
But tho government Is not nuto
mntlc. It does not functiinto auto
matically. A government is but n
reflection of public opinion, of tho
Intelligence of tho peoplo. It Is whnt
you nnd I make It. It Is not bottor
nor worse thnn wo nro. Tho govern
ment of n nntlon Is on n lovol with
the enllghtmont of tho peoplo. If wo
had moro sonpo, moro common hon
esty, moro courage nnd political vim,
wo would hnvo n hotter government.
Wo hnvo Just what wo desorvo. no
moro. no less. The whole fabric Is
In your hands nnd mine. If wo hnvo
bad InwB, or If our laws nro not en
forced, or If thoy nro mndo oppres
sive, you nnd I nro tho culprits. Wo
nro tho follows to blame. Perhaps
wo mean well, but most of us know
comparatively nothing, olthor nbout
tho principles of govornmont, or Its
administration. Ignoranco nlong
thoso lines Is apparent. Tho strnngo
part of It all Is, not thnt our govern
ment Is so bad, but thnt it 1b so
good. Most pooplo, I think, tnko
llttlo Interest ns n rulo, In thoso
things lu which thoy nro nllowod to
tnko no part. If thin bo true, thon
with ono foil swoop, wo hnvo elimi
nated nil tho women of this country,
more thnn ono-hnlf of Its population,
from governmental concern or re
sponsibility, oxcopt In nn Indirect
way.
My doar sir, this Is nil wrong
wrong ns It enn bo. Wo want ovory
woman In tho country to hnvo a di
rect Interest In thoso mnttors. We
wnnt hor to hnvo nnd fool n direct
responsibility. Wo wnnt her to feel
