INTERESTING STORY TOLD
BY TYGH H. S. MISS
f Naming of Tygh Valley as Told
by Meriarot Maeiil of Tyfb
High School '
.. .
Somet,me ago the Daughters of
the American Revolution of The
Dalles interested themselves in ob-
talnjng early historical sketches of
places in this county. As an in-
duccment they offered a prize to
the schools asked to contribute, the
",nt ",0 Kn ima acnooi,
There were a number of sketches
; submitted, one of which by Miss
Margaret Magill appearing below.
The olhir tw0 chosen and among the
Lest, will bo printed in this paper
in the coming two Issues. Miss Ma
gill's offering follows:
The Naming of Ty(h Valley
There are many Indlati tales con
cerning the early history of Tygh
Valley for instance the wars of
the Indian-, the naming of Buck
Hollow, the making of the White
River falls, besides many others.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
topics of its history is that one of
how Tygh Valley received ita name.-.
This is probably not news to pin-1
neers, but little of it is known, to the !
younger generation. In a recent
visit of my father, he told me this
interesting affair;
'"Daughter," ' he said, "do you
know how Tygh Valley got its name?
"I guess I must admit that I
konw nothing about it," I answered.
"Well," he -said, "in the ageo
past, oh, not so awfully many years
ngo, the Indians ifiade splendid use
of that valley. Something, some
times an inferior cause, but often
a Just cause would offend those
'rue Americans. The hum - of war
began to buzz through tho campr.
Envy, anger, and courage would in
flame their henrts. After a day 6r
two, which had given the chief time
to( pronounce his words, they began
to beat their kettles and gather ar
rows. The war-paint was brought
out and daubed on; then the war
riors started for their destined
place, which is now called Tygh
Valley. Through days and through
nights the arrows shot acro s that
beautiful little valley while Mt.
Hood alone stood as witness. When
they were satisfied with revenge
their chiefs and main warriors came
down into the valley to make 'tyghee'
Thy smoked their peace pipe ser
iously or friendly, which ever way
might ttrike them, and they went
throught "their other forms of mak
ing pence. It wss all over after
'tyghee' was made, until the next of
fense came."
"And so 'tyghee' meano peace?"
I asked. ' . .'
"Yes, 'tyghee' means peace. Tygh
is taken from tyghee." "
Today, as one drives down any
one of tho -three grades- that leads
Into Tygh Valley, he viewi peace as
he sees the green little vailed spread
'n tranquility beofre him. The pale
faces have come and have taken pos
session of the redmen's valley of
peace. They have cultivated It,
hut . the same mountains, including
dear old Mt. Hood, still riso and
tower above it, and it still rcmalm
peaceful.

MAN LOSES WAY IN
DIES ALONE
Aged Dalles Capitaliit Wanders In
Canyons of Bakeoven and Dies
as Remit of Exposure
Itenry Jewell, a Dalle: capitalist,
aged .83 years, died on the rimrock
of Buck Hollow some time durinir
the first of last week as a result
of exposure and strenuous work
climbing the rugged breaks if
Southern Wasco county streams.
His body wa: found on the rjmrock
of Buck Hollow about 12:30 p. m.
Sunday byFloyd Holloman a sheep
herder in the employ of the Farghers. '
- Mr. Jewell came over from The
Dalles last Monday on the O. W,
train. He was met by Frank '
Stewart, who conducted him to the
ranch of John Donaldson, who di
rected him t0 the A. T. Lindley
ranch, to which place Mr. Jewell
was going. Mr. Donaldson offered
him the use of a saddle horse, but
the offer was declined, and he ttart
ed out on foot . i.;.
Tuerday morning early Mr. Jew-
ell made his appearance at the Con
nolly sheep ranch, where he was
given breakfast and again received
directions how to reach the Lindley
ranch. Instead of following them,
he, however, struck across country.
He failed to reach the Lindley
ranch and 4ater in the week, tts .
nothing had been heard of or from
him, his family became anxious and
enlisted the services of Sheriff Sex
ton. The officer at once oranid
i a posse at The Dalles and telephon
ed James Chalmers at this plaqe,
I asking, him to form a posse and to
! proceed to the breaks in search of
.the mis ing man. Mr. Chalmers
was instructed to ect the firemen.
Legion members and a squad of
uy ocouis.
Saturday afternoon the Maupin
contingent went to the Bakeoven
country. There the posse was de
vided into squads, each given ter-
ritory to cover and also instructed
what to do in case Mr. Jewell wai
( found! The squads scattered each
; covering a stated territory. Early
Sunday morning the posse was re-
, formed and again took to the breaks.
; These were covered in a thorough
manner, some of the members go
. ing almost to the mouth of Deep
creek in their search. Tracks made
by the lost man were found on
Biikeoven, and these showed he had

: hillsides of Bakeoven, Dead Dog
and Salt creek canyons.
While on the way to the, Far
gher ranch after lunch Mr. Lind
ley came along and informed the
Maupin men the dead body of Mr.
Jewell had been found. The posse
then disbanded and returned home.
Young Holloman, the finder of
the remains, was looking aftej a
band of Farghers' theep on the top
of Buck Hollow. He had learned
of the dissappcarance of The Dalles
man and kept a lookout for him.
He had grazed his flock to the rim
rock on top of Buajt Hollow and
there ran across the dead body of
Mr. Jewell. Members of the Bearch-
ing party were notified by Floyd
j and they in turn called the coroner,
who told them to take the body to
Maupin where he would meet it.
j This was done and Coroner Zell
came in in the evening and took
the remains to The Dalles,
j When the body was found the
hand-, bore traces of the hard climb
ing the man had done. In places
jwere evidences that he had slid
down several feet when making a
climb. His cane was broken in his
travels and marks were discovered
where he had used the stick as a
lever in surmounting the break-.
Among those who took part in
the hunt for Mr. Jewell were his
daughter and her husband. They
did not follow the instructions ofthe
search lender, but strdck out on
their own. As a' result they, too, be
came lost on Buck Hollow and it
was some time before they found a
way out ' .
Mr. Jewell was 83 year of aee.
