Last week the editor of this paper, in company with Hon. Beal Gaither, Sam'l Center, Dr. Turner, John McGee and Indian Policeman John Brown, made a trip down the Siletz river. The other members of the party made the trip to look after the Indian school children that are to attend school, and also Number 30. and COtten intn crnnA linmn.

And it might be said that all parties kept their agreement and the Doctor dispensed the biggest, bitterest dose of quinine that it has ever been our fortune to tackle. Tee run on down to the mouth of Siletz Bay was made without further incident, and camp was struck on the north side of the Bay. Here John McGee got home sick, and it was only by the tender- other governmental matters, and i est care tnat the Partv revived his the editor of this paper went along pooping spirits, and prevented him to give tone and dignity to the j from wa!k'g home.

Laying at anchor in the Bay was the tug Tonquin, that had come iu on the Monday before with a load of tin for the cannery, and had been bar bound since. On Monday, had done all that was possible for I the sufferers the journey was con tinued to the cannery, where a short stop was made to replenish the grub box. At this place Sara Center got hold of a fine chinook salmon in some mysterious manner. He insisted that Mr. Kern gave it to him, but there were grave doubts in the minds of the party as to the truth of the claim, and Sam acted as if there was a load on his con science. After a hard pull the par ty reached Mitchell's place, about eight miles below the canoe land ing, in time to strike an early camp for the evening. This was the last camp on the trip, and it was well that it was, for the grub boxes weie getting low. The next morn ing, with much better weather, the trip up over the riffles was begun, and a hard trip it was, too, pulling the heavily loaded boat up over the numerous rapids. It was while going over the Julia Ben riffle that the saddest event of the trip occur ed. The editor, always willing to do his part, jumped out of the stern of the boat to push up over the To his eye the water looked work and has a good start made to ward a beautiful and productive home. There are many other set tlers along the river who have done much work and made many im provements whose places we did not visit. Also there are many new homes made on Salmon river and in the Devil's lake country. We also noticed that several of the Indians had been making some im provements on their allotments. Tom Hollis, Scott Lane, Fred Pike and several others have made some good improvements, iu addition to all of these the manufacturing plant of Kern Brothers at Kernville is to be added. Taken altogether the improvements on the Siletz in the past two years have been much more than one would expect. It is true that the country is rough and wild and it will take years of hard toil and patient labor to subdue it, but it will be done, and when it is done it will amply repay the settler for all bis labor and toil. i SHAVER CREEK. tfeorthe Peace Sam'l Hill dole Joseph Uourley ( TIDEWATER. ieof the Peace S.

Arriving at head of tide the party re-embarked in Jack Cahill's sub stantial fish boat, and dispensing with the services of Pilot and Skip per Hammer, continued on down the river, arriving at Harry Cook's place in time to strike camp for tbe night. Before retiring that night Sam Center favoied the crowd with a touching, tender song, en titled, "Pat Malloy," and as a natural con equence, even the heavens shed tears, or at any rate during the night the beautiful clear weather gave place to a regular Oregon mist.

Here the party was taken in charge by the genial and hospitable John Kern, and was warmed, entertained and fed in a royal manner. A visit to and inspection of the cannery plant of Messrs. Kern Brothers, was made, a description of which will be reserved for another place. After a good hot dinner at the cannery mess house, served up by J. Mitchell and his wife, the party was ready to proceed. Here oc curred the first trouble with Dr. Turner. He is a recent arrival from Oklahoma, and has some queer notions still in his head, one of them was to sit by the fire at Kernville and wait for the shower to pass. The party being unable to convince him that the shower was liable to last until next spring, these lands were the cattle, sheep of Siletz Morris. Morris is a full blood Indian, but he has a well- ty miles, eqcept one cabin at the mouth of Skunk creek. But now there is a great change.

Those who believe chronic diar rhoea to be incurable should read what Mr. P. E. Grisham, of Gaars Mills, La., has to say ou the sub ject, viz: "I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war and have tried all kinds of medicine for it. At last I found a remedy that effected a cure and that was Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." This medicine can always be depended upon for colic, cholera morbus, dys entery, and diarrhoea. It is pleas ant to take and never fails to effect a cure. 35 and 50 cent sizes for sale by O. O.
