There is a well-known railway offi

find things very dull, last November,
and was pining for somo amusement
with which to while away the long
winter evenings. At last she per
suaded her husband, who is well
known hero as a poker playor, to in
itiate her into the mystories of poker.
This he did' on the solemn under
standing that Ehe should never tell a
sonl that she conld play the game,
and never indulge in a band except
with himself. The promise was read
ily given, and up to last night had
been faithfully kept. Last evening,
however, there was a social party at
their house, and Miss S , from
Tacoma, was present. This lady goes
in pretty heavily for the ssstbetic

marked in a loud voice at dinner:
"Now, what sight can bo better than

NAMING JOHN DAY RIVER.
Narration of a Fionee r Inciilent and Fact
of History.
John Day, one of the finest streams
of Eastern Oregon, rises in the Blue
mountains and running west and
south, empties Into tbo Columbia
river some forty miles above The
Dalles. John Day was bo named
after an old trapper, a native pf
Kentucky, who died at Astoria about
a century ago. Mr. Day was an em
ploye of Mr. Crook of tbo Northwest
ern Fur company and who, in com
pany with his emplojer bad crossed
the plains aldng with tho first voyag
ers; "Day becoming sick on Snake
river about Fort Hall, Mr. Crook re
fused to leave mm and remained by
his side Bomo twenty days "bef jre he
was able to travel. Daring that
time their companions bad made such
headway that it was impossible to
overtake them. They followed on
but snows over toel: Jbem iind"tbrir
exposnro was- terriljle. Thev finalh
reached Walla Walla. The Indians I
llin.n I.Anlnrl fl.n.. -. I mllti nml I

assisted them on tho way. At tho
month of the John Day river thry
were oorpoucred by a band of Indi
ans, robbed, stripped and turned loeso
to starve. Not'oven permitted to re
tain their flint and steel, the' moun
taineers match, with which the
might make a fire to keep warm dur
ing the chilly March uigbts. Tn""thr:
pitiful plight they attempted (o get,
back to tho friendly Walla Wallians
and had made about eighty miles
along tho river, when fortunntely
they met Mr.-Stowart and followers
in canoes on their way to Astoria.
They took the unfortunate men in,
clothed, fed, and carried !!:-iudown
tho river.
In Juno 1812. Kobrt Ste.vart was
selected to carrry dispatches from
Fort Astoria to New York, across
the continent. This was a dangerous
enterprise and he selected four tiusty
and well-tried men as companions in
the voyage. They wcro Ben JoDes.
John Day, A. Vallar and F. LeCIerc.
The company left Astoria on the 2'Jlh
of Judo and on the morning of July
2, John Day began to show somo
strange freaks and in a fc days be
came so crazy that he several times
attempted bis own life. When they
had proceeded as far inland as the
stream that now bears bis name it be
came evident to his companions that
he would be no better and that thus
burdened it would bo impossible for
thorn to proceed. They thoreforo
contracted with somo friendly Indi
ans to convoy him back to tho fort.
His frank, bravo and loyal qualities
had made him a universal favorito
and it was with tho utmost concern
and tears of regret that his comrades
saw tbo poor feilow tied in tho canoe
nnd carried away. Tho Indians per
formed their task faithfully and
turned him over'to his friend? at As
toria. But his mind was completely
shattered and his constitution broken
and ho soon after died, and was
laid to rest whero tho Columbia and
Pacific join iu singing his eternal
requiem. Capital Journal.
John Day's river, in this county, is
also named after the same individual,
thu3 making two aj reams in the earn o
stato named the same, and aftej- the
same man. 1 " ''

that discourtesy to a host and lioness

wo are astea to denounce the net tn

here and now, and impalo the per

Nothing had occurred up to thi9
time to mar the pleasures of tho
occasion, unless it was the regretablo
dispute that occurred between Sam
McKce and Israel Langfelt regarding
their right to dance with Satah Bil
ingsley. This di'sputoended iuaknock
down, but wo must give tho youug
men credit for repairing to tho or
chard to enjoy their brutal fistenfis
instead of having it out in the parlor,
as Bob Johnson and Van Miller did.
It was bad euongh for twenty or thir
ty young men to go to the orchard to
seo tho fight, thus breaking up tho
dance for a time, but that certainly is
no reason why somo of the young
ladies should go, too. Wo do
not believe in so much pugilism
at onr littlo sooial affairs, and hore
af ter tho power of the press will bo
brought to bear to break it up If
any of these Kilrains and Snllivans
don't like this they know who the
Judge Bidgo society reporter is. and
they can be accommodated with a
little bear dance on very short notice.
