What Is believed to bo with

it the political sensation of the
day. It Is the "George A. White

White is head of the Oregon na

;' The Abbot Surveys
A worth-while bit of historical work is done by Robert W.
Sawyer, editor of the Bend Bulletin, on the "Abbot
Railroad Surveys, 1855". The first half of his study appears
in the March issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly, and
the second will appear in the June number.
Brigadier-General Henry Larcom Abbot, then with the
rank of Lieutenant, was second in command of the party
making the initial survey of a railroad from Sacramento to
the Columbia river. Lieut. R. S. Williamson was in command.
Williamson driver, which flows into upper Klamath lake, is
named after him. As Judge Sawyer writes, "Events so
shaped themselves that Abbot was in command of much of
the party for the greater part of the time it was in the field,
and it was Abbot who wrote the report found in Volume VI
of the Pacific Railroad Reports."
i The fresh material which Mr. Sawyer uses is the diary
kept by Lieut Abbot and letters written to his parents in
Massachusetts. The route of the survey party was up the
Sacramento and Pit rivers, through the lava rock country

Peter Ckeao Ogden:
1 Continuing from yesterday:
'This was the tenor of his speech
to the Indian and of the rply
of one of them, as related by Mr.
Ogdea himself to the editor of
tho Oregon Spectator at Oregon
City upon the return there in.
January: 'We have been among
you for SO years without tne
shedding of blood rwe are trad
ers and of a different nation
from the Americans,- who aro of
the same color, speak the same
language and worship the same
God as. ourselves, and whoso
cruel fate causes our hearts to
bleed. Why do wo make you
chiefs, if you cannot control your
young men?
" 'Besider this wholesale butch
ery you have robbed the Ameri
cans passing through your coun
try, and have Insulted their wom
en. If you allow your young mea
to govern you, I say you are not
men or chiefs, but hermaphro
dites who do not deserve tho
name. Tour hot-headed young
men plume themselves on their
bravery; but let them not de
ceive themselves.' If the Ameri
cans begin war they will have
cause to repent their 'rashness;
for the war will not end until
every man of you Is cut off from
tho face of the earth! vl am
aware that many of your people
have died; but so have others. It
was not Dr. Whitman who poi
soned them; but God who com
manded that they should die. Ton
have the opportunity to make
some reparations. I give you only
advice, and promise you nothing
should war be declared against
you. The company has nothing to
do with your quarrel. If you wish
It, on my return I will see what
can be done for you, but I do
not promise to prevent war.

return to their friends, and I will

you, which I would not do to an

"Then followed five days of
suspense until the captives were
brought In, and two days more
until the whites residing at Lap-
wal, Mr. Spalding and others, ar
rived, air. ogden at the time thus
wrote: Tor two nights I hare
not slept, but, thank God, they
are all safe and none have been
maltreated. The party then at
once set off down the river, and
none too soon, because of the ar
rival of the news that some of
the Oregon volunteers had ar
rived at The Dalles, and the Cay

the opinion of T. C. Elliott, ed

te the renewal In 1828 of the
Joint occupancy agreement aft
er which the Hudson's Bay com
pany officials became convinced
that they might hold for Great
Britain all territory north of the
Columbia and its tributaries, but
that the country south of that
river might fall to the Americans.
Hence the British concern there
after pursued the course of con
solidating their main operations
to the. regions north of the Co
lumbia. - though, still holding on
with their Umpqua. fort and even
extending their business and hold

Thew brown eyes lit with quick
wild flame. Eileen Calvert was not
a girt. .. she was a desperate woman
firttinjr her heart battle with every
weapon at her command ... Al
ready she had dragged her pride in
the dust, but enough of it remained
to spurn the easy Us . . .
"Of course I intend to see biml"
Her voice was fiat with a subtle
fury, "I expect to go to Cuba. If
yon cant hold him against me
what is your love worth? All of my
cards are oa the table, face up. At
present I think he is fascinated
with you. If you marry him now.

love, zou ii now arag eacn otner
down into the mire of poverty. If
yon truly love him, yonll give him
his chance. What are you acling-
Inr doIL or a woman?"
A force that was a blast of cold
energy emanated from, Eileen Cal
vert and swept Mary with a shiv
artng uncertainty. A challenge and
threat ... a danger far greater
than any peril ever conjured by the
heavy hands of Buck Landers . . .
What did her love for Steve, and
his for bar. mean if it lacked Imper
ishable faith? Was she coward
enough te stand ia the way ef his
success? Again that queer shiver
reached her . . . Steve aloae ia the
tropics with Eiloea .
m m w
Mary and Eileen walked back te
the house together. Any pretense
between them, they both understood,
ridiculously out of place. Of
the two, Eileen Calvert was the
calmer.
"I've spoken my piece, and now
Fm going to dear out," she said, al
most coldly. Tm going tonight to
visit in Southampton. Ton see, rm
not afraid to leave yon a clear field
I wont be back until Steve is able
to leave. X havent the ghost of a
reason for leaving except that I
prefer not to see yon two mooning
about. But, please, dont think yon
are driving me away. Fm quite con
tent to leave you with him, because
well, Fm really not afraid of you."
But you mustnt leave your own
home!" Mary's voice was a little
dazed. "Steve is not in danger now
there's no reason for me staying.
"IH go away myself"
Eileen cut her short with the as
surance that she had intended to go
to Southampton in any case. It was
not a sentimental gesture.
"AB I ask of yon," she said con
cisely, "is to put the Cuba proposi
tion fairly before Steve. He has aa
equal right with yon to decide it,
yoo know."
Mary conceded Store's rights in
the decision. "But, do yon mean for
to tell him that yon hope thi
separation win break tu vp?"
?I dont care what yon tell him.
Fm aet easily humiliated. What
Steve thinks now is not overwhelm
ingly important if s goiag to bo a ;
passage of time that win gtve as aS ' -a
correct perspective." " "
There was a quality about Eileea ::
Calvert that was jxmrprehasible
te Mary. Hew conki any girl be so
coldly calculating, yet an terribly
swayed by an emotion as hot as love? -
Was it possible to build wisdom oa a -
foundation of passion? Or was all
this jnerely the arrogance of a
wealthy and spoiled child who knew
what she wanted, and went after it
with bold shrewdness? It certainly
did take aU kinds of people te make
the world ,
Eileea telegraphed her Southamp-.
ton friends that she was leaving im
mediately: and, with a brief farewell
to Mary in the presence of the fan
ily, she left for the station ta the
ear, her bounteous luggage looking
rich and stylish. Yes,, she was a
spoiled child and her acquiescent
familr allowed her complete inde
pendence. The Cal verts, being highly
civilized, had no trace ox petty do
mestic tyranny in their daily life.
Their wealth had freed them from
the countless hardships and restric
tions that had surrounded Mary and
her people; the hard discipline of
pain and serious worry scarcely
touched them at all.
Mary, living in their house, was
teg-inning to comprehend that Eileea
Calvert, who had never known grief
er disappointment, would turn na
turally to her most familiar antidote
for all unpleasantness. Money
wealth that was the sovereign rem
edy. It brought smoothness to uzs
and healed sil hurts. The sugar
plantation in Cuba, Stave's oppor
tunity down there, Eileen's plan te
win back his love aU were rooted
ia money. ' The use of money rep
resented her hope and happiness I
And against this mighty power
Mary, with her empty pockets, had
no defense except love.
Several days passed before she
f sit that Steve was improved enough
to listen to the Cuba proposition.
He eras getting better now with en
couraging rapidity. With one ef
Bffl's heavy silk lounging robes ovet
his pajamas, he sat up for nearly aa
hour a day in his own room. The
vigil of the nurse had relaxed con
siderably; Mary, wearing one of hex
slim peach-colored dresses that lent
extreme youth to her pretty face, eat
on the arm ef Steve's easy-chair, la
order that he could not see the worry
in her eyes.
"Steve dear," she said, smoothing
his hair back from his forehead,
"suppose you had a wonderful
chance in the business world would
yon take it, if we had te postpone
our marriage for a year?" Hsr voice
shook a little, but he failed te aotloo -it.
"Fd jump at any chance that
would help me take care of yea
jroperly, darling," he said. There's
so much more to marriage than get
tins; married. We must wok to the
years aad years in the future you
bet your life Fd give up a year right
now te build our future on a solid
basis."
Despite the surface wisdom of hie
words, Mary felt sinking ef the
heart. A glorious year wiped out ef
their lives! Of course she could
trust Steve in Cuba, she told herself,
with Eileea Calvert, bat '
Little pangs of fear aad jealousy
began like tiny devils to attack her
faith ... Steve and Eileen for a year
in Cuba. . . .
"Nobody en earth could ever take
yon away from me, Steve, conn
they?"
He looked up in surprise at the
tremor in her voice; he did not feel
the trembling of her body dose te
his.
"What a funny little kid yon arel"
he laughed. "There never was
never will be another girl oa earth
for me but you. You're the light
ning and the moonlight to me aU
