The first trouble we had with the Indians was when we were between Fort Hall and Fort Boise. A party of Snake Indians under took to take us in but we put spurs to our horses and managed to get out of their reach. I hardly think they were in earnest or they would have managed to annoy us more than they did. I told the anecdote later on to some frienes, saying that our party of twenty-six made a large band of Indians run, but we worked in the lead. We finally reached Dr. Whitman's without any further ad ventures. We stopped there and rested a while and then came on through the Cascade mountains near Mt. Hood, to the Willamette valley. We were the second com pany that had ever came through the Cascade range, and as a matter of course, there was not much of a trail, but we got through in good order. Teople coming to this valley now can scarcely realize what the coun try looked like when we atrived here. Vancouver was the head quarters of the Hudson Bay Com pany, and was really the only set tlement of any importance this side of tne cascade mountains. 1 nere was one house at Champoeg, and the mission opposite Wheatland, al so a settlement known as the French settlement between them near where ret one was that it he had let it be known what his real object was, he would not have got through alive.

J THOUSANDS ARE COMIHGTHIS WAY MAKE IT MANY THOUSANDS. Colonist Rt t0 oit Available to Thirty MiMi4.f ptop. They Are Ciingi (Special Correspondence.) Portland, Oregon, jaa 2glUi 1907. This state w never so well prepared to take advatage of the colonist one way ratuto Oregon as at the present time, iccause many thousands of peoph ire asking re garding farming opportunities in Oregon, and are receiving literature from many of the organizations holding membership in the Oregon Developement Leajne, representa tive of all sections ofihe State. Commencing Mardist, and con tinuing daily until A;ril 30th, tick ets will be on sale fwany point in Oregon, for $25 froB Kansas City and all other Missouri river points; this also means frooSt. Paul and Minneapolis, and all the territory west, including the most important agricultural sectioiuof the United States, aud from just ihere we want our home builders. These tickets are good by way of Portland all the way round to Ash land, or to any iuteraeJiate point, also to Astoria; and to all points east of Umatilla theraie is $22.50. Holders of these tickets can get a stop over of ten dayi at any point in Oregon on the O R. & N. The same privelege is given to holders 01 tickets between Portland and Ash land, on the Southern Pacific, ex cept that stop-overs ire to be secured by depositing tickets in the Union Depot at Portland. The rate from St, Louis is $30, or $27.50 to points in Oregon east of Umatilla. In fact 6ee rates are available to thirty oiillions ol peo pie, embracing the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys and all the terri tory contiguous thereto. The different commercial bodies in this State that are sending out literature, have adopted the very sensible plan of giving the rate to their towns. For instance Pendle' ton makes her advertising effective when she puts 52j lo in big type as the rate from all points in Kansas and Nebraska to Pendleton, whi Ashland can make just as effective an advertisement by making it $25, briefly describing the beauties of the trip, etc., etc. Every citizen of Oregon should get busy and write to friends of this opportunity to come out to tnis country. GONE TO THE POOR HOUSE BRET HARTE'S DAUGHTER In Peer Health and Deserted by Hui. band, Goes "Over the Hill to the Poer House." Portland, Me., Jan. 28. Mrs. Jessamy Steele, daughter of Brete Harte, author of "The Luck of Roaring Camp," and other western stories, is an inmate of the poor house here, having been removed from one of the leading hotels a few days ago. Mrs. Steele has been ill for sev eral months and was unable to pay her account at the hotel. When she reached the poorhouse and real ized where she was she became hys terical and begged the keeper not to lock her up. She was given one of the best rooms in the house, aud is now apparently contented. She spends her time writing a play, in which she says she is to assume the leading role. Mrs. Steele is 30 years of age and still beautiful. She is the wife of Luther Steele, who is interested in an irrigation company in the south west. Mrs. Steele came here two years ago with an attendant, and since then Mr. Steele has visited het but once, lie sent ner money until iasi spring, when all communication be tween them ceased. Mrs. Steele at tempted to earn a living by giving readings from her father's works, but her tour was a financial failure and she lost what money she had saved. Last summer she lived alone in a cottage on the seashore. ering up the weary stragglers aud the unspent ammunition and w rest ling victory out of the very teeth of defeat. Success is ever to be lound close to the line which divides loss from gain. Sitting down on the wrong side of the line makes men failures. Bravely looking over to the other side and bending the last remnant of strength to get there changes the word failure into success. Spare Moments. Dies Alone in Ilia Cabin. Forest Grove, Or., Jan. 28. Frank Brown, an old man living alone in a cabin on Gale's Peak, sev eral miles northwest of here, died this morning. Some hunters who were out that way a few days ago found him in his cabin, almost dead from rheumatism. They gave such relief as they could aud a man was sent out to look after him, but it was too late to save his life. He worked about town here several years ago, but very little is known of him. He is thought to have rel atives in Wisconsin and North Da kota, though he had not kept in communication with them. "Why," asks the Baltimore Sun, "should grafters seek office?' ' Why should ducks enter the water? Teachers' Examination.

Earling, president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, reached Portland last Friday after noon iu his private car St. Paul, leaving at 8:15 Friday night for Chicago. President Earling has been in the Sound cities attending to details in connection with the construction of his road west. He had nothing to say regarding his plans. Queries as to his intentions re garding Portland were fruitless, as he persisted in declining to discuss the subject. Mr. Earling has never denied that he will bring the exten sion here, but he has always refused to confirm the report that he will do so. Questions regarding the probable route to be followed in entering Portland were met by an adroit change of the subject. Mr. Earl ing started his railroad career as a telegraph operator and one lesson he has learned thoroughly is .hat of keeping his moutn shut regarding his plans. Mr. Earling praised the weather and expressed the opinion that Port land is growing rapidiy( but beyond that he was non-communicative. He expects to return to the coast within the next tlree months.

General Funston has recommend ed that the pay of officers and men of the line in the United States army be raised, and in this connection has made a statement which is some what startling. He says that the common hod carrier is better paid than the soldier in the ranks of the United States army, and he expres ses the fear that the soldiers will leave their duties and follow other vocations if they are not afforded better compensation for their servi ces to the country. Profane language in a store diives away women customers.
