FRONTIER THANKSGIVING.
Incident of The Destruction of Paulina and
His Band.
Sunday Oregonian.
There is do more frontier, Bat, while
there was one, there were stirring scenes
enacted among the mountain fastness
that abound in the central portion of the
state, and lively fraoaeea occur ed on the
sage-brash benobea along the great
watershed on tbe'Jobn Day an i Oregon's
eastern edge. Small aod isolated array
poeta were soattered over that portion of
the country io the frontier days, and it
was a livelv life at times that the mem
bers of their garrisons led.
Gamp Watson was a typical Western
post id many respects, but it was far
and away ahead of prarie posts, because
its buildings were structures of solid
logs. It was oo the timbered edge of
one of the looal spurs of the Bias moun
tains, aod big red-pine trees abounded
typioal timber of the range, open and
free from underbrush, and with no riot
of rotten logs or tangled thickets of ferns
and vines. There was a oarpet of green
under those tall trees, and it was one of
sarin's prettiest spots. water was
abundant and pure, aod the swaying
braoobes made masio as the tired sol
diers of the garrison dropped off to sleep,
rolled in their saddle blankets, under
the twinkling stare. The men who
traveled that territory to those days
were satisfied with a saddle blanket bed,
and took things as tbey came. One
minute they have beds and horses and
guns and peeks, and the next minute
tbey might have nothing.
For this was Indian oonntry, where
white men were not welcome, and bands
of Snake Indians, the original ooonpants
of the region, roamed about and at
times swooped 'down on the whites, but
made a speoialty of attacking the Wasco
Indians, who were making an tffort to
estao isD permanent nomes at some
warm springs on the eastern edge of tha
Cascade mountains. Tbey were only
ordinary fighters and preferred peace,
and the snikes swooped down oo them
at regular iutervals, generally decamp
log with every horse in sight and every
thing eatable. The only white mat) ei
smpt from Indian attacks in the Tygb
valley basin was Captain Edward Oham
breau, who bad for years been traveling
through theooaotry and trading with
the several tribes. Some of the tribes
bad great respect for bim, others bad
grant fear of feto), Bed h's prap9rty--w
unmolested.
But trade followed the flag. Although
the little detachments of soldiers wbiob
woured the country and kept the bos
tiles oa the move oarried do waving ban
aers, and only the grimmest weapons of
ar, they represented thefl and the
oroteotion wbiob symbolizes. Tbere-
ore, ranchers and traders penetrated
the disputed district and took stocks ot
Koods on paok mnles clear through to
Canyon Uity, where white men were
washing out gold and etaodiog off In
dians. Men who traveled out there
from The Dalles oovered 185 miles of
rough road, and when tbey ascended
Brewery hill, they bad what was per
haps their last look at civilization.
But brave hearts tbey were who look
those journeys, and they slept sounder
out in the open, along the bunch gragH
ridges, where the prowliug hostile was
liable to bab up aod take a pot shot at
any moment, tbao did the resident of the
crowded city shut up in rooms. There
were no tall chimneys to topple over on
lbs oamper; there was no rattle ot milk
wagons colliding with cobblestone!, and
the onobstructed breathing ot pure air
mads sleep the sweeter aod the more
refreshing and invigorating.
Every soldier of the little garison of
Camp Watson bad a keen appreciation
f the oustoms of Tbanksgiviog day and
he feasting it would bring with it. Oo
one memorable ooosion, the company
meters bad been out oo the surroaod
ng ridges and had brought la dozeis ot
big, fat grouse, wbiob bad bagon to fol
low tbeir fall praotice of g ing into the
tops of the tall trees, where fir bads
abounded, They had also brought io
three deer and aa elk, and the company
cooks bad given it out that they would
try Ibeir bands oo mince pies, provided
tome oommiesary firewater could be
rustled op for flavoring. Everything
looked promisiog for a fine feast, aod
oext day would be TOao'-giving
The two hooters wh'j bad brought io
the elk also brought some startling news
Half mile from camp tbey bad found
tbe tracks of an Indian pony, and the
tell tale signs showed that bis rider bad
been spying sbootCamD Watsoo, His
trail, two miles distant, j iaed tbe tracks
of big party, wbiob bad evidently
passed rapidly to southwest. Many
mules were in tbs outfit, a wi plalo to
be seen by tho familiar footprints.
The news brought in by tbe onntnrs
bed barely began to ciroalats wheo
youDg Fitzgerald rode in rom Tbe
Dalles with the information that the
Snakes bad raided down tha valley and
bad captured borses at the Manpin and
Claroo rioobes and bnrnt Jim Clark's
bouse. TuU last mentioned iooideot
caused tbe Dams of "burnt Haoob" to
Io appear oo lbs maps, aa 1 postoflise
does busioesi there now. Jim Clark is
deal, aad mo it of the lodiaos who
barned bis bouse are dead, bat tns
asms remains.
Tbe raid of tbe soak-M bad been a saa.
fletsfal ooe. At the Muddy, (bey had
ooptured Heory Heppoer's eotire train
of pack, rgqisi, qi thai brave aod eoefi
getio pioneer had "forted up" in the
rocks s id stood thorn off until they
finally left him afoot to begin businsss
all over again. He acoepted the decision
of fate, and has sinoe made good use of
his time, tbe live town ot Heppner being
alasting monument to his uotirng in
dustry, "Boots and saddles" soin sound d at
Uamp Watson, and thoughts of Thanks
giving were laid aside, they would keep
tor another year. Lieutenant Boutelle's
troop was quickly mounted, aad with
Donald MoKay for soout and trailer, it
was off, just aa the afternoon sua went
behind a cloud, whiob broadened and
bluckened and soon began to patter
down in rapid raindrops.
It was to be a swift pursuit and a sod
den striking of the enemy, and so every
trooper traveled light, exoept as to am
munition, which was 150 roan ij to the
man. Not a euperfims ounoe was car
ried on the horses; merely a few extra
bardtaok were stuffed in sad die-pockets,
for time was of importance.
It was dark when tbe troopers stumb
led onto tbe trail; and how it rained!
Every man was soaking wet It was
hard service, but it was only a repetition
of what Major Kinehart, who founded
Oamp Watson, and Captain Waters and
others had after thsse same Indians.
buoh drenohing rain soon took the
prance out of the troop horses, but tbey
etuck to the trail. All night they stilt':
Io it, and covered many miles. Dmald
McKay was a good trailer, and wh re a
small party of tbe bostiles bad branohed
off to tbe northwest, he knew their nom
ber and guessed at tbeir object. He
said that tbe trailjwas at least two days
old, bat that the enemy was liable to
stop most anywhere.
Silently the pursuit oontinoed. Day
light could not ba muoh farther away
than over the next divide. Suddenly,
in tbe darkness jast ahead, what was
that? Tbs yelp of a ooyote? If so, it
would soon be followed b a oborous.
No. It was the btrk of tie coyote's
olose oonsin, no Iudian do.
Soon it was followed by other bark',
and then there was a shot, aod a bullet
sang past the troopers. The defiant yell
ot an Indian was heard, and it was plain
that the warriors were stirring and
ready to reoeive tbeir foe. Quickly the
troopers accomodated them. There was
a dashing oavalry charge, a volley fired
into tbe oamp, a rush through it, a re
assembling by bugle call at the other
Bide- an th anot S s r r oslTlli to ujitrf Th J
Indians gave shot for shot, as tbey scat
tered around in tbe sagebrush, aud tbe
soldiers, taking position one little knoll,
poured a withering fire into tbe camp.
As daylight onme, they hemmed it in
on all sides, and tbs ooo isional puff of
smoke that oame from some little guloh
showed thut the enemy's strength h id
been redaoed. So had tbe numb tr of
troopers, and some of tbe wounded
borses neighed pitifully from where
tbey had gone down in tbe oharge.
Donald McKay got tbe fiior and, in
stentorian tones and Snake dialaot, he
told the bostiles that they bad better
oease firing and surrender; that other
wise the soldiers would kill the last one
of them. A defiant aiswer was re
turned, aud, just tben, so Indian w.iman
itb a baby in ber arms, rushed from tbe
gultob toward tbe soldiers, saying in
snake, as interpeted by MoKy, that she
would surrender to save ber ohild. A
shot followed ber from tbj gulch she
bad left, and her own husband became
ber murderer. Ma was creeping out to
seours ths child when a bullet from Mo-
Kay's carabine ended his career. This
baby boy was afterward! raised by a
pioneer cattleman, named Altoow, aod
became the best vaquero on tbe great
Fine creek range.
Soatiered shots were fired tor twenty
mloutes, aod then tbe Indians yi lied
tbat tbey would give in. Tbey came
into oamp what wis left of tbem.
Twenty told tbe tale ot the warriors,
while 40 more lay dead aod dying
around the camp, tijim ot them were
womeo and childreo, whi bad been out
oo tbs raid, aod thereby aocepted tbe
fortunes of war. Dead soldiers were

It was s sorry-looking oamp but tbe
Iodiani bad dried the most of Henry
Heppuer's males, and they bad several
saoks ot dried crickets. There was also
soms fl iur they bad stolen at Antelope,
and this was all tbey hid to offer ths
guests who bad intruded upon tbem.
With ths male meat, driel oriokets aod

a noted chief, and when you onoe had

who could run down a jaokrabbit and
kill him with a stick. His men said that
Paulina and a sub ohief had gone to

a small squad and gather bim in.
They found his trail. Tbey found

AN OREGON OPINION.
Ex-State Attorney General on Coming Campaign-There
Will he no Fusion.
Spokesman-Review
Pendleton, Ore., Deo. 12 Ex-Attorney
General George H. Chamberlaio, ot
Portland, was io town today enroute
home from Union. Mr. Chamte-'ain
was attorney general of Oregon under
the former democratic regime of this
state. Since leaving that office he baa
been engaged in the law practice in
Portland. He is recognized as one of
the most prominent democratic poli'i
ciaus io Oregon, who has supported Ibe
demooratio ticket throughout these years,
end who was loyal during tbe last cam
paign to the stand taken by that party
in this state upon a fusion platform.
General Chamberlain expressed him
self on the coming oampaigo. He was
asked it he favored fusion again. Ths
question was related to the meeting
called by the three chairmen of lbs
democratic, eilver republican and popu
list parties of the state, to oooveoe soon
at Oregon City to consider whether
fusion shall be attempted in 1900.
General Chamberlain said:
"Do I favor fusion io 1900? Well I
think oot. I .believe the democratic
party io Oregoo bad better go it aloos
next year aud stand or fall under our
own banner. We have tried fusion,
have fought shoulder to shoulder witb
populist and silver republicans, and
where do we find ourselves? With
a complete disorganization; witb no
party exoept in name; witb Ihe tak
before us of again building up an organ
ization, just as though wa bad never
had a democratic party in Oregoo,
"As a matter of fact, ths dsmooratio
party is in worse condition tbao it would
be were there never an organization io
tbe state."
"Do you think silver Is to be a leading
issue?" was asked.
"Judging by the attitude assumed by
the minority io ooogress coder tbe
leadership of Mr. Biobardsoo, I believe
silver will be an issue. I oannot, in faol,
see tbat the silver case has lost any
considerable camber of its adherents.
It seems ineveitnble to me that silver
must be one ot tbe issaes in the cam
paign of 1900."
"How about the trusts?'1
"I look for the republican platform to
oontniu a strong pronouncement against
the trust evil. Likewise, the democratic
platform will have a ' plauk, a leading
one, denouncing tbe trusts. The voters
must take their choice. Aoy one witb a
grain of common sense will see that all
tbe professions of hostility to trus s
made by tbe republican party will be
hypocritical. No one with ability to
discern the real conditions and control
ling causes will believe that the repub
lican party really proposes to adopt
stringent measures againBt the trust
evil. Look at tbeir leaders, those who
are io oontrol ot the machinery ot ths
party, aod then say tbat tbe republican
party wants to throttle the trusts. Head
the history ot the Ohio slate oarapaign
ieoeotly fought out and the utterances
of Mark Hauna; tben read tbe guarded
references in tbe president's message to
Ihe trust evil, and then tell any ooe tbat
tbe flrfht against the trusts oao be mads
by the national republican party.
"It is apparent to all students ot cur
rent events, to all who follow the trend
of sentiment throughout the onuotry,
and one must oonclude tbat the fight
against tbe trusts most be oocducted by
tbe democratic party.
"Oo the subjeot ot expansion, general,
do yon look (or muoh difference between
the two great parties?'
"We have gone to the Philippiues, aod
I presume we are there to remain. It is
oot likely that our Hag ever will be
hauled dowo from tbe pole al Manila.
We may as well decide tbat tbe United
States is going to maintain tbe suprem
acy io tbe urobipelago. But, as to Ibe
exact diapositioo to be mads ot the
islands, thut is another question, II
occurs to me that the administration
has itself established a preoedenl io tba
manner in which it has handled tbs
Cubao issue. There tbe United States
proposes, according to present under
standing, as giveo out al Washington
and iu all the official utterances, to
establish local goveroment just so soon
us possible. What is good for the
Cubans, in my opinion, will be good for
tbe Philippine islanders. Looal self
government should be tbe thing offered
and secured to them, if our pledges to
the country and to the oivliized world
are to be kept. We annouooed tbat the
Spanish war was oot ooe of oonqaest
and that we did not propose to add ooe
foot of territory to that which was ander
tbe rule ot the flag wheo the war begao.
"Iu all good oonsieoce, theo, let ot
evince good faith aud give the Filipinos
what we propose to give Io the Cubans."
