ON THE OREGON, CALIFORNIA DIVIDE SzrSSS

NOWHERE) In America is ther a
eotlon of country that contains a
greater variety, of . magnificent
picture of towering crags, glit
tering peaks, beds of lava, pine
whlakered rang and grassy plateau
1 than ' the Siskiyou mountain country
th purpla range that forma to Oregon
California divide. Bave for a few scat
- tered mining camps and settlements it
la a vaat solitude, a aolltude comprising
an area f (.000 square miles. But- un
like most solitudes this erne teems, with
vegetation and nature is almost the sole
-. reaper of the harvests. Enough timber
Is on that divide, and the slopes of the
divide, to build a thousand cities.. The
fat soil of that great territory, if tilled
and planted, would produce vegetables
nougn to reei tn armies or th world.
At the northern end of California the
, two arrest mountain rsngesy the Sierra
Nevada on the east, and the Coast range
on the west, Join or are united by an
Interlocking chain. This chain is the
gon-Californla divide, i North of the
Slsklyous the Coast range continues its
Ig-sag course alonir the western coast
of Oregon. The Sierra Nevada range
also extends northward from the Slskl
yous. but in Oregon Is called tne Cas
cades. The Slsklyous baokbone, though
forming a considerable mountain .-wall,
. does not by any means reach the great
heirht . of the filarra Kavarin. rinirA.
, though there are peaks along the crest,
that rise 7,000 snd 8,000 feet. The main
r portion of the Slsklyous lifts to a height

BACK TO NATURE FOR RED
MANr-How. Indian" Office ? Is Gutting
Loose From Tradition
An Interview Francis B. Leupp. Com'
missioner of Indian Affairs, Wash
ington. ,
rT IS on of th misfortunes of every
trouble la pretty apt to result Buspl-
rt. .r. arnuaert in credulous Quarters
that there must b some special and in
terested motive for going off In ont dt
rectlon or another from th conventional
lines. For that reason a certain defer
ence is shown to" th Immemorial prac
tice of furnlshlna to the Indian only th
unplcturesque but practical garments
which we ourselves are accustomed to
wear. We do not require that they shall
be burdened with an undue amount of
clothing, however. My orders every
where are to let the children run bare-
tooted as much as possible, and to give
them as few garments aa will answer
their needrf. ft always seems to rne a
pathetic sight to see one of these little
children called upon to throw off Its
mooes ns and to. put on tne nara svuddv
shoes that the whit child la brought up
in. indeed it never seems to me to
tirnmnt nartlc
romote particularly the civilisation of
Th Tnrilan at an v ataa-a of life to re
quire him to change hfs footwear arbi
trarily . It certainly does have the ef
fect of misshaping what would other
wise develop into a foot of nature a
own design. Wherever the point has
come up, therefor. I have made th rule
that little Indian children shall be al
lowed to wear moccasins if their moth
ers will take th trouble to make them.
In purchasing clothing for the schools
a couple of years ago I trlsd to gst soms
of the shoe contractors to offer me an
Indian moccasin or something corre
sponding to It in small sis, but could
not get a slngl bid.
Some Pack Shoes.
'1 even Instituted some inquiries to
see whether th 0 called "pack" shoes
could not be furnished in children's
sixes. These are ahoss which ar worn
by some of the lumbermen In the north
ern forests, and we used to buy a few
adults every year to be dlstrtbutfd in
those placss where w were stlU doling
out gratuities to the Indians. But I
could get no satiefaotion with regard to
little Hecks" email enough for the .
younger pupils in pur schools.. ... .
One DOlnt in which I was able to cut
oint
loos from traditions of toe Indian or-
flee wu in not reouirlng. or even lay
lng a tremendous stress of encourage
ment upon the wearing of ao called "cit
izen's dress.'' For the older Indians. I
care nothing whether they wear buck
skin snd beads or homespun and print
clothes. It Is not th garment. It is
the human being under the garment that
appeals to me. - But when it comes to
the children In the schools we can not
do much less than supply them with
simple little clothing in our own general
style. Moreover, there Is a certain val
ue attaching to the training which chil
dren get in wearing the common garb
of civilised communities. What they
lose in arttstlo - appearance they gain
perhaps in that sort of conformity with
the rest of th world which takes an
interesting personality a step farther
out of the category ot curios. W are
trying to train th young Indian so that
he can take his place with ths young
people or otner races in our common
body of citlienshlp, and whatever tends
to specialise or segregate him is to
that extent a handicap upon his progress.-

Instead of making a particular form
of dress generally compulsory, or show-

Rule Againat Tongue.
. , .-.( .
Ther used to ba a rule against any
us of an Indian tongue. . In "a govern
mmt school. That seemed to me not
only cruel, but absurd. On th con
trary, X go to the point of encouraging
th children to bring their little nursery
songs to school and sing them there In
their own language. The pupils ahould
be encouraged, by all the arts which
will sua-areat thamselvea to the natural
teacher, to', 'cultivate the English . Ian-
guage. That is the language they will
be obliged to use In their contact with
the white communities which ar grow
ing up. all around them, and therefore
It has a practical value which appeals
to tha-Mlser and more level headed eld
ers of Their race. But I never should
think for k moment of punishing a child
for using- its own tongue while about
the school
I go even further than I have already
Indioated, and am introducing Into the
schools a line ef work for he conserva
tion and development of the Indian art'
very clever designers, following the tra
ditional lines and colors used in the bead
work or blankets, the bankets or pottery
of their own tribe. Instead of giving

The turning point of his career was
In 1879, when he returned to -London.
He came at the worst nossible time.
The engineering trade was at the bottom
nt m Aenn ifanraailnn and thnuaanla nt
men were unemployed. He tramped the
streets of Indon for a year seeking
work and finding none, snd barely keep-
lng himself from starvation,
This esperience mad him a Socialist
and when he found mployment again
he threw himself into the work of labor
organisation. H was associated with
John Burns, now a minister of th
:
crown, tn organising a branch ef th
Amalgamated society and in 1881 h
succeeded Mr. Burn as a member of
the executive council of the society. In
1892 he became assistant secretary, but
in 1HPS he had a difference of opinion
with the other officers and resigned on
a question of principle and went back
to work in a machine shop. In 1897,
however, his comrades called him back
to their service-as general secretary and

that leads up to th crest and th "El
dorado of the Siskiyou." otherwise
known as Brlggs' mining camp. From
this camp one looks out over an end
less array of ranges, jutted with snow
capped peaks and crags. You are up
above the timber line here, and the
mountains are covered only with scrub
pine or matted with a growth of snow
brush. This is no fake "Eldorado." -
There is gold here, lust as there is
gold almost everywhere throughout the
whole extent of the Oregon-California
divide. ' But this on is best known be
cause of th fabulous discovery that was
made her a few. years ago. Bar Brlggs,
son of a rancher of - the district, shoul
dered his rifle ona summer day and went
out after biff game. It does not take
a hunter a long while to strlk a deer
trail on the Oregon-California divide.
Toung Brlggs was on a hot trail In less
than an hour. . .
The -trail led him over the divide to
the head of Thompson creek, on . the
California side. Here he cam upon th
game and fired. Whether he killed the
buck or not has nothing to do with the
story. When be clambered down the
steep slop his boot struck a big stone
that was particularly heavy and gave
off a eound Ilk lead. He ploked it up
and broke off a fragment. Th broken
fragment Shone dully yellow. Then the
boy knew that the big stone Was full of
gold. He dug down with his bare hands
And uncovered great Slabs of metal. The
most of them he heaped Into a pile, some
ha threw inter' his hunting bag and car

Imagine Mr. Edison In his laboratory
hearing th news of a declaration of
war between Great Britain and the
United States. A young man, his' as

breath, and exclaims to th great elec
trician: .- .
"Oh, master, war Is declared! It ia
terrible!"
"Ah!" says the master. 'War de

array at this moment?" '
"Kmbarklng, sir." '
"Embarking whereT"
"At Liverpool."
"At Liverpool; yea Now, my friend,
would you pleaae Join the ends"of those
two wires hanging there against the
wall? That Is right Now bring them
to me. Good! Now be kind enough to
press the button."
The assistant presses ths button.
"Vary well," say the inventor. "Now
do you know what is taking place in
Liverpool?"
. "The British army Is embarking, sir."
The inventor null out his watch and
gances at the time. "There is no Brit

"What?"' ssreams the assistant.
"When you touched that button, you
destroyed it"
"Obi This is frightful!"
"It Ig not frightfut e.1 all. It Is
