The sound of the sleigh bells has been
continuous all day, and will probably be

WAPINITSA, THE? BAD INDIAN,
How He Became n Frog, and What Be
came of lliui.
The Warm Springs Indians have a
legend concerning Wapinitea, which
translated means "the frog that lived in
a hole." The fctory was that many
years ago there was a bad Indian who
found a hole out in the dry country east
of the Warm Springs, and in this hole
was a spring of clear, cold water. One
hot day a number of the .tribe were
caught out in this section, anil by an ac
cident had lost the supply of water they
had brought with them. Wapinitsa,
the bad Indian, was with them. In
stead of showing his people where the
water was, he told them of it and only
consented to show them tiie place upon
their promieing each to give him ahorse.
Driven by thirst, they acceded to his
demands and in a short time he led
them to the hole. It was about four
feet across, nearly round, in fact a
natural well, the water rising to within
about four feet of the top. The thirsty
Indiana gathered round it, and soon
drew out water enough to satisfy their
thirst. When thin was Uviie, they looked
in vain for Wapinitsa. He had van
ished, but near the hol5 where but a few
moments before he had stood was an im
mense frog, that hopped toward them
with a dismal croak. It was the former
Wapinitea, whom the Great Spirit had
changed to a frog and sentenced him to
live forever in the hole, where he had
taken advantage of his people's neces
sities, to obtain their horses. The In
dians mounted their ponies and left the
spot; nor will any of them go near it
even to this day.
Of course, whitemen pay no attention
to theee strange old Indian super
stitions, and a few years ago, when O.
L, Paquet and another man wandered
out into the same section, and came
across a natural well with the water ris
ing to within four feet of the surface,
they did not stop to think of any old
Indian legends, but being thirsty begarrj
to devise some means by which they
could get a drink. They had nothing
with them that they could dip the water
with, but water they were determined to
have. So Paquet held his friend by the
legs, letting his head down into the
water. Alter his thirst was satisfied,
Paqet pulled him out, and he proceeded
to perform the same kind offices for
Paquet. He had tcarcely lowered him
into the well, when with a mournful
croak a tremendous frog hopped from
behind a big rock, and with a second
croak plunged bead ioremost into the
hole. He was so large that he wedged
Paguet between himself and the side of;
the hole, forcing the former's head!
under the water. For a moment there,'
was a violent struggle, as the frog tried
io squeeze by, and then the man's hold
gave way and Paqnet and the frog had
the hole to themselves. The man was
horrified, but the. water rose to the top
of the hole, boiling violently and show
ing a tremendous struggle was going on
below. After what seemed au inter
minable time, and when the survivor
THE BEAN AUTOMATIC
SPRAY PUMP.

Is, unquestionably, tho most success
ful and perfect working Spraying Device
yet invented.
It is n unsversnl testimony that more,
as well as bHter, work can be accom
plished with tint Bean Spray Pump than
with any other pump on the market.
With thin pump one man can charge
the receptable and leave it to direct the
spray just where it is wanted, and thus
with sufficient hose pass from treo to
tree. The solution ia delivered in a fine
mist or spray, penetrating every nook
and cornor, thus doing better and more
effective work than is possible by any
other method, and .with no wasto what

tlTHE DSLLES,
had given up nil hope, Paqucts head
suddenly bobbed up and his friend
pulled him out. The frog had finally
forced itself by him with his assistance
and his piz-i ran be imagined when it is
considered that his entering the water
had raised it four feet.
The Indians beiti told of the circum
stance, say it was surely Wapinitsa, who
even yet retains his selfish disposition
and did not want the white men to get
his water.
This-may sound like a largo frog story
but O. L. Paquet, who resides at Wap
imtia, is still alive and can vouch for the
truth of this tale.
Important School Meeting.
The school meeting tomorrow is a very
important one, and every taxpayer
should attend it. We print elsewhere
tho assignment of teachers showing the
number or pupils In each room, the low
est being 39, and the highest 108. The
amount of assessable property in the
district at the assessors valuation is $1,
193,101. It is proposed to levy a tax of (i
mills which would give 7,158. Tho dis
trict receives from tho county and state
$4000, about. It takes to run tho
schools, including Unemployment of an
other teacher, which is now absolutely
necessary, about $11,000, eo that a six
mill tax would just run the Fchools.
The district owes $7,000, and it is pro
posed to provide for this by bonding tho
district.
The directors have had estimates made
as to the cost of putting up an eight
roomed brick, west of the present brick.
This would cost finished, $8000, and fur
nished, about $11,000. Tho proposition
will perhaps be subiniticd to bond the
district for an amount Hiifficieut to coyer
the indebtedness, and to put up an fur
nish the brick building, The directors
will be at the brick tchoolhouse shortly
after 1 o'clock tomorrow, to explain the
situation. The meeting will be called to
order promptly at 2 o'clock.
