Strictly First-Class Was Perfected by the Production of.... n AW 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 there, too, six of tbem, and as maoy mors ot wounded. Strapping, brave young fellows, and la ths very flower of yootb, laid low oo thai bloody Thanks giving moral 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 floor the boys mad their Thanksgiving breakfast, wbioh was hardly over when loud "gobble! gibblel" was heard near by in ths stgebnnh. Sergaot Haoderson strode over tlnre and re tamed with a big turkey gobbUr, wbioh be bad found staked out. Ojh of bis tail feather, painted while, o-iusJ bim to bf identified as a resident ot the Olarno ra'iorj, which neitlej qodsr tbe shadows of tbe high Geld Camp ountry. S ome of tbe soldiers btd oarnoed there aod remembered bow tbe boy, Jobo Claroo, had painted tbe tail feather. That turkey furoiebed a feast for tb tse 40 troppers on tbat Tbsiktgiviug day. Tbare was oo oranberries, but tbsrs was plenty of sags for fltvoriig, aod be was browoej oo tbs mb;M, aad there was a taele for several and a whiff of Thanks giving for all. Mule meat U Dot bad for hungry men, and it furnished "wish bioes" for It was Paulina's outfit that was oap tured, but where was Paulina? He was a noted chief, and when you onoe had seen bis footprint, you would not won der that he had been nicknamed "Big foot." He was about tbe only human who could run down a jaokrabbit and kill him with a stick. His men said that Paulina and a sub ohief had gone to steal horses from Manpiu's raooh at Antelope. Dmald MoKay aod the boy lieutenant, Wainrigbt, concluded to take a small squad and gather bim in. They found his trail. Tbey found him. But Manpin aod "Jim" Clark had found him first, and bad ended his career over on Trout creek. The bulk of the Warm Spring tribe afterward made n pilgrimage to Maupin's ranoh to see his eoalp, for Paulina had led many a raid sgaioet tbem. J. W. Rbddikgton. EXAMPLES OF ELECTRICAL.

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." No Right to Ugliness. The womau who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive mnst keep her health. If she is weak , sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will canse pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Hitters is the best medioine in tbe world to regulate stomaob, liyer aod kidoeys aud to purify the blood. It gives strong uarvoa, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion. It will make a good-looking, charming woman of a mo dowo invalid. Only 50 oeots t Blooum Drag Vol. n io F n r
