Hlnnott, of Oregon, Ih today proud ly wearing tlio first and only fedora over manufactured in the country from Jack rabbit fur. I.nMl winter Mr Slnnott (Uncovered that felt hat manufacturers were cm tmrraiwpd bocauno their mipply of Gorman rabbit fur was cut off with thn war. It occurred to liliu that Jnckrabblt rur might bo RiiliHtltutcd and ho sent to Oregon for a ronolgn ment of skins. These ho turned over in thn InrL-est and best known lint manufacturers In the east, with tho rcnucHt that they experiment with tho rabbit fur and determine, Ha buub tillltlcM for bat manufacture. CnllomiiHW I'l nisi I'lodtlt't. A long strike occurred In tho fac- tnrv tn which tho rabbit fur was nent, dolaylng tho experiment, but this morning Mr Hlnnott received by express n hnniUome pearl gray fedora mado from the fur shipped to him from Kastern Oregon. Ho nl onca donned tho now headgear and exhib ited It to other Congressmen from tho west, telling them that ho had at last found a market for Jackrab blts, or at leAist for their fur. Tlio Jnckrabblt lint seems to bo tho equal of nny $r felt lint on tho mar ket. It Is of line, soft texture, smooth to tlio touch and clear In color and grain. Members who examined It pronounced It a Ilrst clnss hcndploco and one that ought to command a good price In the market There was boiiio Joalousy on tho part of other Wootorn Congressmen, however. Iicciiuho Mr Slnnott had "boat them to It," and found n mar ket for what has been one of tho great wast productn of the west. INpcili it In Hucwm Mr. .Slnnott was told by the niniui facturerH, who entered upon tho ex periment w'th mnno iloubtM, that tho Oregon Jnckrabblt fur iniido a much better lint thnu they had anticipated. He also learned from them that Jack rabbits to bu valuable for hat manu facture must be killed In tho winter months, when their fur Is heaviest, mil must roino from tho colder por tions of tho wont l'ur or rabblls from Hih southwest has prt'Nlnuidy been tested and round uusultuble.

He Is highly elated at tho success of the Ilrst ex periment, which he regards as a com plete success, and lielleeH tliat once a market tor inhhlt fur can be us tnbllslied, thorn will be n now Incen tive tor lidding the woat or one of Its worst posts. In Central Oregon. At this time the United States and Great Hrltaln wero disputing as to who owned this Ore gon region. Tho United Strtcs Gov nrmnoni decided to Dond out partloa to mrke reports on this region. Fre i mont was one of those chosen and lip innii hi Htunll tinrty started on that porlh us Journey Into that desolnto and unknown region of the West, in the spring of 1842. n-pmont was nt that time Chief of Engineers and because ot the fact that be lived the life of exploration and adventure ho wns well qualified for Burh an undertaking. How woll he did his work wo shall soon see. Mlthough he did moro exploring than r.nything else, his real mission wns for a military purpose. Most of his mliimrv wnrk was in California, but Just tho same his work in Oregon wns far abend of any other man. it seemed to bo his natural Instinct to make friends. This docs not mean that ho was afraid to fight Al ilimifli li In li.tlllnH were few. they were decided, nnd whenovcr he did fight, his foe, the Indian, learned to fear and respect him ns their super ior. Making friends with the Indians of this part of tho country was n .1ln1,.t n.wl itnntrnrniiH lltwtnrtnlMn I? lll.JIUilil Mil ,.ft, una ,...u, ......-r, and was very important to us, be-1 cause It prevented many wars for our forefathers: n fact which we should bo thankful for. Fremont started on his western ex pedition from St. Louis, Mo, He crossed the Itocky Mountains rnd Hooted down tho Snake nnd Colum bia r'vers to what Is now The Dalles Horo he fitted out his expedition and started Bouth. He travelod down the eastern side of tho Deschutes r'ver, being at all times In view of the beautiful snow covered summit of tho Cascade Itange. This wis all In the doad of winter; tho ground was covered with snow, and their progress was clow and their uardsh'ps num erous. The Indians (old him of a great lako to tho south. This he found after a very tiresome search. He named the ltko Tlamrth, but It was afterwrrds named Klr.math. Af ter spending some tlma around Klam ath lake and fighting the Indians, Fremont started northeast After a long Journey they came upon a steep precipice, beneath which wes a beau tiful llttlo valley, portly illled with a lako, What looked peculiar to Fromont was to seo nil the surround in territory barren, and covered with Bnow whllo In this llttlo valley the snow was all gone and everything was green. Fremont called this Sum mer lake, which name It otlll boars to this day. They found it very dif ficult to find a descending place, but this they did, and leaving tho green timber behind they traveled on through a country of sagebrush and band. They could not get to the shoro of tho lako because of the mud and Fremont described the water as being 'very bod,' duo of course, to hn minerals which It contr.lned. All (this region is now called 'The Fre Imont Forest Reserve,' commemorat ing tho explorations and worK ot uns famous man. Ho made further ex plorations south and discovered other lr.kco. Ono ho named Lake Abert, after Col. Abert, who was Fremont's chief engineer, nnd the other ho named Goose lake." Lots at Half the Price POLICIES THAT PJIOTECT.
