Ciiiiicn, of Lincoln, fie., bntHkn, Finds Thnt riiniiiiiii I Not Kuril a Itad Plnce Cimifortuhlii (iiiii'tern mid Fulrly Pleasant Sur roundings. In a letter to a friend In this city under date of January 7, gays the Lincoln (Neb.) Stute Journul, George I Cnnipen, city engineer, who has been offered the position of water commissioner for the canal lone, write as follows: "I arrived In Panama Sunday, De cember 24. The Mexico left New York 25 hours late, on Sunday, December 17, at 2 p. m. It carried a large car go of supplies for the Isthmian canal commission, and a great many pas sengers, possibly 150. Nearly all were coming to the Isthmus to work In some capacity for the commission. "A delegation from the sojourners club (only Masons can become mem bers) met the new arrivals at the Hotel Central and Invited all brothers over to a reception that evening at their club rooms. "I have been familiarizing myself with the water works problem of the Isthmus. There Is some hard work before the person that solves the knotty problems of operation of the water systems of the entire Isthmus. My part In this Is a matter of whether I shall be able to stand the climate. Nearly every person here says that a person ought to give It at least one month's trial before deciding defi nitely. Some people seem to stand It, Hnd other? ought to be sent home, as they are not adapted to residence In a tropical climate. "The government is doing every thing possible to make It healthful and pleasant for the people here. There are no hardships here. "I nm temporarily quartered at rnrurnl, whcer the government has a three-story hotel, equipped with Iron beds, mattresses, washstandg and dressers, with mosquito netting for all the beds. Every man has one square foot of room for every dollar per month he draws as salary. "The hotel has a large dining room fitted with heavy oak tables and chairs. Each table seats four persons. This hotel waa built for the office men working at Panama. It is about three miles from Panuma, and the Pa mi in a railroad runs In front of the hotel. Trains carry the men to the city In the morning and back In the evening. "There are several of these hotels along the route, all conducted by th commission. "At present all the offices are In Panama. Iluildings for the engineer Ing departments are being construct ed at Culebra. The auditor's depart ment will be located at Empire. A large hotel Is being constructed at Ancon (American pnrt of Panama) for people whose business will neces sitate their presence In Panama. "I have had time only to casually look at the canal proposition, that seems to be agitating the people in the states at this time. The person who has worked American labor In the states and who observes the miser able laborers here and the conditions surrounding them, Is Impressed that the United States government drove a good bargain when It purchased the property of the French. "The French did a lot of work un der terrible conditions. I think there have been no mistakes made by the Isthmian canal commission this far. They have undertaken to make the Isthmus sanitary before beginning ac tual operations. Governor Magoon has proved himself to be an executive of ability and every man that I have heard speak of him on the Isthmus regards him highly. "There is a university club In Pan ama composed of university gradu ates and students of universities. They have a membership of some 200 It Is not uncommon to hear a univer sity yell In Panama at night." Girl Gets $2500 ITIzo.

FINE COAL NEAR SALMON CITY". Said to ltd Only Paying Mine In the State of Idaho. Mr. McBride has with him 40 or 50 pounds of sample coal that Is be ing mined within four miles of Sal mon City, says the Bole Statesman. The lumps are fine specimens and there Is an abundance of the fuel. The mine Is about four miles from Salmon City, and coul Is being sold for 15 a ton. A team can make four trips a day and the mine 1b a paying proposition. It Is about the only paying coal mine In the state. It is thought the coal bed underlies about 680 acres of patented land, 480 acres of which Is In one ranch. The present owner of the ranch has been living on the place 20 years and It was only about a year and a half ago that he dis covered his land covered a rich coal bed. The mine that Is being worked has a nine-foot vein of high grade lignite. Other workable deposits have been discovered and altogether It Is re ported the mines are able to produce 600 tons of conl dally for an Indefin ite period. The coal Is In general use In the business and residence houses of Salmon City. The coal makes a good fire and produces lots of heat.

At the time of the Whitman massacre In November, 1847. Sarah was a girl 13 years of age, and remembers the trag edy and .Its attendant Incidents with remarkable vividness. So far as is known now, Sarah is actually the only living Indian pupil of the Whitman mission, although there are 100 I'matllla Indians who were alive at that time and who re member some of the characteristics of Whitman. For three years before the massa cre of Whitman, Sarah had been a pupil at the mission, and in all the In tervening yours since the awful trage dy this faithful Cayuse has cherished the teachings of the missionary, and although she does not speak English nt all, she yet sings the hymns, In English, which Whitman and his wife taught the little class of Cayuses around the mission fires 60 years ago. After the Whitman massacre the mission was practically abandoned, and yet the Whitman converts kept alive the Christian fires on the Uma tilla reservation. Occasionally a na tive minister from the Nez Perce mis sion nt Spalding, Idaho, would come over and hold services on the Uma tilla reservation, but the church re linquished its authority upon the Whitman organization, and from 1847 until June 1882. the actunl church founded by Whitman was abandoned, except by the faithful Indians, who remained steadfast to the religion of the martyred missionary. Revived the Whitman Church. Seeing the steadfastness and faith fulness of tho Indians who had been touched by the Christian spirit, the Presbyterian board of home missions In 1882 formally reorganized the Whitman church on the Umatilla reservation at tho request of the In dians and a building wns erected for worship. This church was built largely by Indian labor and Is a proud monument to the Integrity and unfal tering Christian spirit of the old con verts of Whitman. Transient ministers, among them many full-blood Ncz Perces from the Spalding mission, filled the pulpit of the little mission church on the reservation and the membership re vived and grew, until In May, 1899, Rev. J. M. Cornellson, a native of Richmond. Ky., and a young gradu ate of a Presbyterlon seminary, was appointed by the home mission board of tho Presbyterian church to be per manent missionary on the Umatilla reservation, and when he took up his work he was forced to live In a tent and roam from place to place as his nomadic flock migrated from .camp ing place to camping place. At that V r aT ff i:ll JoyThey Bring very Home and smiling faces they romp and play when in health WHITMAN time he could not speak a word of the language and had seen but few In dians before. Successor to Whitman. Within a year he was preaching short sermons to the Umatlllas in their native tongue. He devoted Tilm self closely and persistently to his work, won the confidence of the In dians, secured an able Indian helper In hlB services for the first year and today speaks the language fluently and writes and reads It better than any known member of the tribe. Thus Mr. Cornelison became the first permanent successor to Marcus Whitman among the Cayuses, and Is today pastor of the little mission church on the Umatilla reservation. where he enjoys the unquestioned friendship of every member of the tribe. The mission today comprises about 45 active members, with a regularly organized church body, with Indian elders, Sunday school organization and trustees, and Is one of the lead ing recognized church bodies in the home mission work in Oregon. A Permanent Abode. In 1901, after roaming for two years with the Umatlllas, living in his tent and camping with the tribesmen In their travels from place to place as the seasons moved them. Mr. Cor nellson had so far organized his work thnt a manse for the pastor was built and the tent abandoned. The young missionary moved with his bride into the new manse, and In 1902 a new and larger church build ing was erected at a cost of $1500, and today the organization is most prosperous and progressive. The new mission church is located six miles southeast of Pendleton, In the heart of tho richest portion of the Umatilla reservation. The elders of the church are all In dians; Amos Pond, n Umatilla: Rob inson Mlnthorn, a Cnyuse-Xez Perce, and Philip Mlnthorn. a full-blood Ca yuse. The services are all conducted In the Cayuse-Xez Perce, the common language of the Umatlllas. although the older Indians are proud to think that their children are learning the English language and the white man's ways, and many of the older Chris tian Indians censure themselves that they did not learn more English in their youth In order to conduct their business and better protect them selves from unprincipled whites, who always Infest the reservation. Faithful to Whitman. Philip Mlnthorn, the full-blood Ca yuse, has been an elder in this mis sion for 18 years, and Is a fine speci men of the sturdy Indian character. He was a child 1 year old when the Whitman mnssacre took place, and his father, Old Yellow Hawk, one of the great chieftains among the Ca yuses, was a faithful and unswerving Christian, and was one of the princi pal Indians to keep alive the fires of Christianity started among his people by Whitman. Philip says that his first recollec tions when a very young child are the regular morning and evening prayers offered by his father, Yellow Hawk, In his tepee on tho banks of the Umatilla river, a few years after the massacre. The old Indian was ever faithful, and to the teachings of that savage father, who had boen touched by the Inspiration of Marcus Whitman's life and conduct, is due the long Christian service of Philip Mlnthorn, the present elder of the re as it is equally beneficial' d remedy is required. jm organized mission founded by Whit man. It Is remarkable that during a lapse of 35 years from 1847 to 1882, during which time the hand and influence of the church boards were withdrawn from the Whitman converts, that a little handful of them remained true to the teaching of the missionary, and that Instead of degenerating and go Ing back into savagery, the lKtle spark of Christian light grew and grew until It finally again attracted the attention of the churches and an organized ef fort was made to keep It alive and revivify it with the help and support of the home mission funds and la borers. It Is an Inspiring and thrilling scene to witness the services In the little mission church, and to listen to the prayers and songs taught the Cayuses by Marcus Whitman 60 years ago, repeated today in the self-same limpid Cayuse tongue in which Whit man spoke and prayed. The dark tragedy at Walllatpu In terrupted the work and destroyed the lives of those who started It and nour ished It so devotedly, but after a lapse of nearly half a century the broken threads were once more gathered up, the shuttles of thought and teaching were once again started, and the un finished work of Whitman is being carried forward in an unostentatious manner. It is Ip-na-sol-a-tok you hear re peating in her quavering, unsteady voice the words of the Lord's prayer, Just as she learned It from Marcus Whitman, when a timid girl In her early teens. In all those years she has not forgotten It, and today de clares she can see the golden locks streaming over the shoulders and en circling the sweet face of Narclssa Whitman, the wife of the missionary. BERT HUFFMAN. I.ITTIK POCKET PHYSICIAN. Ilvoiiicl Inhaler Tliat Is Guaranteed by Talhnnn Co., to Cure Catarrh. Thousands who have been cured by Hyomel, call the inhaler that comes with every outfit "The little pocket physician," as It is so small that it can be corried in the pocket or purse. Prior to the discovery of Hyomel, statistics showed that at least 97 out of every 100 persons In this state were suffering from catarrh in some form. The remarkable results following the use of Hyomel are shown by the small er percentage today of people suffer ing from catarrh. There is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hyomel Is so readily obtainable. If you have any doubts about Its value, Tallmnn & Co. will let you have a com plete outfit with the understanding that unless It cures catarrh, It will not cost you a cent A complete Hyomel outfit consists of "the little pocket physician," a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hy omel, and costs only fl, while addi tional bottles of Hyomel can be pro cured for 50 cents, making It the most economical, as well as the most' relia ble treatment for tho cure of catarrh. Do not delay longer the use of Hyo mel, If you have catarrh. This Is a purely local disease, and Hyomel goes right to the spot where the catarrhal germs are present, destroys them, soothes and heals all Inflammation, and makes a permanent and lasting cure.
