for : the June, 1128, number of
the Oregon Historical . Quarterly.
Some excerpts follow: .

"Indian population lost heavily
in the Pacific northwest during:
the half century that preceded

y 80 per cent Of the native peo

white man's diseases. Along the

Some tribes were exterminated. .

"Without this desolation of 'the
savages, settlement by ox team
pioneers would have been delay
ed one or two decades, and then
would have encountered the pro
tracted horrors of savage war
fare. The Yakima war In 1858-81
was the most serious conflict! but
that revolt of the .natives against
the whites seems relatively brief
and weak, compared with the re
sistance made by Indians In other
parts of the American continent.

Nellson Barry, Pacific northwest
history writer, is authority for the
statement that In 1851-1 there oc
curred 88 fights; in 1855-8, 41.
Mr. Barry esiamerates the' total
number of conflicts, from 1710 to
1870. at 278. Most of them were
marauding attacks . npon parties

imagination to savage visions of
what might have been, had the

The first of the white man's
plagues probably waa smallpox,
which, In 1781-2 swept from the
upper Missouri river to the. Pa

and that for this' reason the trade
was far from being as productive
to tne Astonans 'as might be ex

all parts of the states, especially
Boston, all more or less connect
ed with the Sandwich Islands and
China trade. The same author re
marks:

This casual traffic yielded to
their owners In former days (he
was writing this arter the time of

of the returning cargo, an Ave

The savages of the coast suffered
the worst; due to the numerous
European vessels, after the visit
of Captain Cook in 1778.
"The white man's wares of bar
ter spread among the tribes by ex-
cnange, wnicnv carried the luxur
ies of kettles, garments and bau
bles. In the Rocky mountains In
lis t-f, Lewis and Clark often
saw white maa'a articles, which
the natives said came from In
dians. of the Cascades of the Co
lumbia river, and which Included
beads, brass and cloth. At the cas
cades of the Columbia river In
1808.. the .explorers ..saw copper

robes and ". odd garments. Near
Celilo, Captata Clark learned that
the Indians there sent large Quan
tities of salmon to the coast, in
exchange for white man', goods.
Beiew ceiuo he saw s musket, a
sword and 'several brass tea - ket
tles; also a round hat And, Jacket
which the Indian owner said had
been obtained Yrom the4 whites.
Near Hood River, the explorers
observed scarlet andLblua doth, a
sword, a jacket and a hat. At the
cascades they 'found beads and ar
tides of copper, which the In
dians dearly prized. " - - ;;
At the mouth of the Columbia
river, Lewis and Clark met , sev
eral Indians who were clothed In
sailor .jackets and trousers.. At
Fort Clatsop, in the - winter of
1805-0, they saw muskets, pow

that the white traders usually ar
rived by sea in April and remain
ed until October. ' - ; : : -
V Alexander Ross la 1811 found
the Nes Pontes, Caynses and Wal
la Wallas armed with guns which
they obtained through trade; he
also saw an occasional kettle or
knife, " and supposed that . those
articles came from vessels of the
coast. Ross relates that the As
torlans found among the Chin
ook In 1811 'guns, kettles, and
various other articles of. foreign
manufacture;' and adds, that the
Indians were up to all the shifts
of bargaining. Thus the contacts

When the mornins noises In the

dldnt coma in to breaktasV bar
mother went to her room. v v-
"Lfly Lou. sleepy head. . - You
must have stayed out real late. We
didnt hear you come in -
Lfly Lou opened heavy eyes. "Oh

hurt my ankle. ' .
It was as big as s pumpkin.
"Hurt lit Lucky if you havent
broken It Oh, Lfly Lou, why didnt
you call met 1 could have got s
hot footbath, or arnica "
Sue bustled for the remedies sow.
Lfly Lou lay back en the pillows.
She was tired, and listless. She
didnt want to move.' She wanted
to capture again the dreams ef last
night. :. But they werent dreams.
It was an true. . . . Ken loved her.
and she loved him. . . . . . t
She lifted starry eyes to her
mother. . . . No, dont tell her! Mot
yet. Keen it s precious secret . .
teu nobody yet. ... -
The ankle didnt respond to home
remedies. The doctor came from
Lake port, and said it was a sprain.
She'd have to keep off ef it for at
least another week. .
The office was telegraphed. "May
be rn lose my job." Lfly Los
thought, but it didnt seem im
portant. Oh, wen ... a job. . . .
The omce . telegraphed . back,
"Sorry to hear of accident. Take
time about returning. Belief oper
ator willing remain long as neeea
eary."," Her father liked it because she
sat with him on the porch now.
She was quiet,' responsive, dreamy
eyed. He told her old, old stories he
had told her dozens of times before.
She listened with rapt, wide-eyed
attention, not really hearing s
word.
Ken wrote to her from the city.
Sent her boxes of flowers that ar
rived slightly wilted, dearer to her
because they had to be coaxed back
to freshness.
"Mr. Sargent, feels terrible be
cause the accident happened when
Lily Lou was with him," her moth
er explained. ' .. . i .
Now that Ken was gone, and she
hsdnt told them about it, Lily Lou
thought aha had better not mention
it for the present. After all. Ken
rsdnt. said anything about being
dhgaged ... Did he mean that
when he aatd he loved hert She
cldnt know. ... Began to fret, to
rant to get ,back to town.
The doctor didnt want her to go,
rut he consented to tape the ankle,
and let her. The family waa aad to
toss her again. Tm always losing
my children," her mother said. Dad
dulnt say asything. His big hand
trembled, and he swallowed hard.
Illy Lou's heart ached for him. For
both of them. She. wanted to do
something to prove her love, but
aha didnt know what. She kissed
tSem both. "I hate to leave you,"
she said, but that wasnt strictly
tsue, since leaving them meant
fAeetinr Ken again.
Her mother loaded her down with
things to take to May. Two cakes,
a big pan of fried chicken all done
tip in wax paper, and a dosea fresh
rts. ;
The suitcase weighed so much . .
Lfly Lou picked it up awkwardly.
"Never mind, you'll be proud of
me, some day t" aha said, childishly.
After she got on the train she
wondered.
Would they be proud of her, if
she married Kant
She didnt know. It got hotter
and hotter is the train. She wiped
her moist forehead, took off her hat,
"Anyone who says that being is
love la s pleasure is crasy," ahe
tkought.
Of course there waa no one to

The house was chill and gloomy,

May's office to say that she would '1

to give the house s lived in air. It
looked Just what it was, a place
where, people had little time for
beauty, even for comfort. It was
Just a place to sleep, to rest, after
a hard day's work.
"Bess is right. May ought to
stay home, ahe thought. But if
May stayed home there wouldntbe
the few decent bits of furniture
there were . . . the two overstaffed
armchairs, the davenport, the rugs,
the drapes. ... May had bought
them all with money she earned.
And if May had children, her house
would be like Bess' toys, clothes
drying, and special food and milk
being prepared la the kitchen. Wen,
you ought to have money . . . lota
ox money ... like the Sargesta.

gents. Wondered what sort ef times
they had, and if there'd be s row
when they found out thahe and
Ken were engaged. .
Yea, but were they engaged t He

It would be wicked to give up and
make her voice into s parlor voice,

vividly ahe thought again of the
tall woman with the big hats and
the insolent laugh. ... Mrs, Sar

And arrogant, portly Mr. Sar
gent And ahe thought, "Oh, I'd be
miserable with them. I wouldnt
ever fit in. I dont like them. And
Ken . . -. he's different, hell want
to get away, perhaps. ..."
Maybe there'd be s family quar
rel, and they'd throw Ken out with

her, aad they'd have s house, and
they'd both work not like Ray

to the kitchen. They werent en
