Whitman mission was wiped! out November 29, 1847 when 'Indians massacred Dr. and Mrs. Whitman and 12 others, j Cause of the massacre has been a subject of controversy but a Cayuse chief, Istikus, advised Dr. Whitman that a Canadian Indian Hefriehded by the missionary had tpld Istikus' people that the doc tor was poisoning the natives "so as to give their country to his own people.

Foundations the plan drawn by Dr. Whitman and recorded in various publica tions. Next to the house is one of sev eral Indian home pits where the natives apparently lived after the massacre. Some of the pits are 60 feet long. Three or four Indian families lived in these during the month the whites were held captive. Set Fire to Buildings Garth speculated that the In- dians set fire to the main, build- way for the 230,000 - volt power ing because the bricks show signs line last spring on the 1947-48 ap of having been burned on both t propriation from congress. This sides. Garth said the excavating indi cates that the level of the land has risen about 18 inches since the time of Dr. Whitman. A medicine bottle with a glass stopper. was found in what was known as the Indian room. Garth said some medicine, both liquid and caked, was in the bottle. It was believed that, the Indian room was occupied by the Osborne family just prior to the massacre, Finding of the bottle seems to swbstantiate this belief because Mrs. Osborne had just recovered from a serious illness. Hid Under Floor Boards The Osbornes hid under the loor boards of this room as the massacre began, remaining there all night.' When the Indians left, they were able to escape. Several peg false teeth also were found in this room. Custodian Garth said that plans for a new $70,000 museum have been completed and work will start when the money becomes available. The museum will be across the highway from the mis sion site. .xt.mvim m4Vfflfti CO-FEATURE I i irs wrasaasjsi ciioqtido unm IJ5I rr",i'"P r"t"j" V PLUS I LATE NEWS !

He said it would be "disastrous" for the re Robert U. Brown, editor of Editor publican party to say whom it is working lor. In his speech here, the president posted a "storm warning against picking a republican president and said " you can't expect anyone under an obligation to Joe Grun dy' to change the high-tariff GOP.

The republicans, the president said, don't actually want unity, but "surrender. And he said he doesn't intend to surrender and doesn't believe the people will, either.
