incidents or that marvelous valley,
nestled in the arms of snow-capped
mountains.
"The Wallowa Lake,' 'snid Colonel
urophy, "is the most remarkable body
of water I ever saw. It is not large
only one and a half by five miles
in extent and from all appearances,
it Is as deep as it Is long, at places.
The water Is clear as crystal. Dead
trees can be seen at a distance of 60
feet beneath the surface and the
mountain seems to run down, at the
bottom of the lake, at the same in
cline that it towers thousands of feet
above its bosom.
me outlet River.
"At the foot of the lake, bursting
through the rocky wall that forms
the barrier against the gathering
waters of the mountain streams, the
Wallowa River dashes down into the
canyons that prepared a way for it.
Clear as Its mother lake, rapid, and
typical In every way of the rugged
surroundings that give it biith, it is
the most beautiful stream in the
West. The Indians that roamed this
country before the settlers came, held
tne Wallowa Lake and river In idola
trous reverence. Legends of that se
questered mountain gem are many
and beautiful.
The Red Fish.
The most curious feature connect
ed with the early history of Wallowa
River, is the. "run" of red fish that
came up this stream in the month of
August. So far as Is known, no other
stream in the West had a fish so pe
culiar in color. They werex the old
Chinook salmon, painted a bright
scarlet. Actually, they were so nu
merous in the early days, during the
period they "lun," that the river was
discolored nt times with their scarlet
tinge. They were the principal food
of the Indians, who caught them in
great numbers and dried them for
winter use. The Indians enjoyed the
sport of catching them, Immensely.
The bucks would ride into the shal
low water on their choice ponies
spear in hand. The sportive -fish
would hesitate, dart here and there,
wheel and rush down stream to a se
eluded place and then timidly steal
out, and rush for the rapids. The
pony of the savage was almost as
quick as the game, and it was an
exciting sport to spear the Wallowa
ed fish.
Almost Human Instinct.
"1 have stood on the bank of the
Wallowa River, where the dashing
torrent of the Minatn comes in just
above the old wagon bridge, on the
Wallowa road, leading in from Elgin,
and watched for hours, the almost hu
man knowledge of tills wonderful fish,
The great scarlet "sc.ool," thousands
in number, would halt at the conflu
ence of the Mluam, with the precision
of an army. Four or five monstrous
old fellows would then go In advance
of the 'school,' cautiously exploring
the tumbling current of the Minatn.
They would dodge swiftly among the
great boulders, like scouts behind
trees in the forest, and explore every
nook and corner of the stream. After
a tew moments of this exploration,
they would dash back to the waiting
host. Meanwhile the great 'school'
stood still as soldiers at rest. Not a
tlsh moved up the Wallowa River,
nor showed any signs of proceeding
on the journey, until the scouts re
turned. Upon returning to the main
Uady, the great fish held a hurried

The German, not to be outdone by
the French, said before he lnd
thought twice: "That's nothing. Why,
our students in the universities have
fights. They belong to different so
cieties and fight with sabres. Because
of some little insuU, often one will
have his head fairly cut open."
"And yet you complain about the
Americans!" said the lawyer, as he
laughed to see how the German had
stepped into his own trap.
