My Line o' Talk Everett Carlo Stannrd THE BIG WOODS Where tho hills are high, And the great firs sigh, The night comes down with s rush; And silence falls On the forest halls, In the grip of a breathless hush. When the dusk comes down To valley and town, Like a loitering child It comes; But It come at a stride To tho mountain side. Like a sudden beating of drums. And terror clings Where the little wings Of hto forest birds are furled. Alas, alack, Tho inky black Has hidden and whelmed the world! How the moments creep Where the big trees sleep! Ah, the night is over-long! Tis a weary while Till tho firs will smile In the sun-dawn, swift and strong. But the silence vast "' Is broken at last; There are faint low, symphonies. There is hope, at last, That the night is past, In the lisp of the dawn-time breeze. There are chirps and thrills From the birds. The hills Start up from their slumber drear; And tho big trees shout: "Turn out, turn out! It is Day and the Sun Is here!" Historic Adventures Douglas and the savages: The first white men who came into the Willamette valley were not molested by native In dans, but when explorations were directed farther south, the case was differ ent The natives of Southern Ore gon, on the coast, between the Coast Range and the Cascades, and east of the Cascades were war like, and they invariably rcscntod the coming of the white men. Long before the country was occupied by the ox-team emigrants, explor ers passed through It, among them, David Douglas, Jedediah Smith nd John C. Fremont. Roughing It. Douglas was sent to the North west coast by a British horticultur al society in 1825, and from the moment he set foot on land he was called upon to endure extra-ordinary hardships. As yet, Dr. John McLoughlln, factor of the Hud son's Bay company In the Colum bia river district, had not complet ed, his house, or fort, and the plucky botanist lived first in a tent, and later In a hut made of bark and skins. Wilderness was Bttll king at this early period, and this goes far toward accounting for the fact that wherever Douglas went en his botanizing expeditions, he met with thrilling aventures. Trapped By Indians In 1825, Douglas penetrated the Willamette valley, and somwhere Diseases Acute and chionio treated by the latest electrical therapy and osteopathy. Consultation free. Dr. B. H.

The following year, with a company of trappers and hunters, he journeyed through the valley again and far down Into southern Oregon. The sought-for trees were located by the courag eous botanist, but when he shot into one of the pines. to dlloge some cones, hostile Indians appeared and seemed bent upon murdering him. Douglas, cocking his gun and draw ing his pistol, detrmlned to die, and the natives, after about ten minutes spent In regarding the botanist, concluded not . to preci pitate a conflict at once. When they asked for tobacco, Douglas prom ised them some If they would pro cure for him some of the large cones such as he had Just dislodg ed from the tree. When the treach erous aborigines hastened off Into tho forest to get the specimens, Douglas not forgetting to pick the specimens that had almost cost him his life, retrepted in hot haste, and just about dark came to camp and was safe, tl is believed that this adventure took place in what is now Douglas eounty.
