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

of tne cascade mountains. 1 nere

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.

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

spring, when all communication be

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.

Keepa His Month Shut.
A. J. 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. There are
tew grocers in Oregon who swear
before folks or allow their clerks to
do so, but they do not always in
sist that the men in their stores ob
serve the same rules. Vulgar lan
guage is, if anything, even more re
pulsive to the ladies. The moral
atmosphere should be as clean as
the shining fixtures themselves.
