HISTORIC TABLE ROCK.
Few of the late settlers are ac
quainted with tho wealth of history
connected" with Southern Oregon.
Few know of the struggles, the trials,
aud the hardships which were met by
the pioneers iu the early days. Un
fortuuately many of the old homes are
being destroyed to make room for
modern structures, but there still re
mnins to ns the natural land-marks
which can never be removed.
Little more than a half century ago,
Southern Oregon was the home of the
red man. Roaming form place to
place, Hunting and Uslung, ho lived
iu comparative peace and content
ment. Tuble Rock, the "Watch Tower of
the Valley, "was the home of the tribe
of that name. Situated as it is so
near the river, with its almost iwrpeu
dicnlar sides, and reached by only
oue narrow trail, it afforded the Lidi
ans a natural stronghold From this
advantageous position commanding a
view of the whole valley, the Indians
watched with jealous eyes every move
meut of tho immigrants, and swift as
engles swooped down upon them anni
hilating whole parties.
When gold was discovered in Jack
son's gulch, exciting stories of vast
treasures and uutold wealth reached
tho East and many jhtsous started on
the long journey across tho continent
in search of the golden treasnro.
Weary and footsore, heart-sick and
home-sick, but with courage undaunt
ed, tho pioneers reached the Rogue
river valley. Little did they think as
they gazed over tho picturesque valley
that on yonder rlat-topivd mountniu
lurked their deadliest enemy.
As the number of settlers increased.
tho Indians became more restless and
treacherous. Quarrels led to skirra
ishs, skirmishes to battles.
Iu the spring of IR'sD General Lane.
then governor of Oregon, camo with a
few men mid some friendly Indians to
aid in quieting tho Rogue river
tribes. With his characteristic cool
ness aud decisiveness he sent this la
conic message to tho Indians at their
fortress on Table Rock: "I want a
I"ciieo talk. Como unarmed."
The following day the chief with
seventy-five followers came. General
Lane and the Indian chief sat iu the
middle of a circle formed by tho sol
diers and Indians. Before the meet
ing commenced seventy-five armed
Indians arrived. They were told to
lay down their arum and be seated.
When all was qniet General Lane
sjKike : "I hear you have been murder
ing my people. It must stop. My
people must jmss through yonr
country in safety. Our laws have
been extended here. Obey them and
live in H'ace. The Great Father at
Washington will buy your lands mid
ly you for them." Ho Mtised for a
reply. AH was silence. Suddenly
the chief uttered a nierciiiir crv.
Instantly the Indians lcaiH'd to their
feet, brandishing their weapons and
giving the dreaded war cry. Gener
al Lime by a flash of his evo gave a
signal. The chief was seized anil the
Indians coiuiuaniled to be seated. The
meeting then proceeded ns if nothing
had liapjsmd. "Now go home. Re
turn in two days in a friendly man
ner for another council. Your chief
shall bo my guest. " The very fear
lessness and boldness shown bv (Jen-
eral Lane seemed to overcome the Li
llians. With their chief held as hos
tage the Indians dcjiartcd.
Karly the next morning a squaw
was seen on the opposite side of the
river. She lieggcd to bo allowed to
see her lord. General Lane brought
her across and by his courteous, kind
ly treameiit of her won the confidence
of both the chief and his squaw. So
much did the chief admire him that
he asked to Imi given General Lane's
name. He was told that ho could
have the name and was ever after
known as "Chief Jo." When the
council met again a treaty was made.
General Lane wrote a few words on
sli of jinis r mid signed his name.
These were given to the Indians and
as long ns thos sliw held together
they were preserved by the Indians
who tried to remeinls r what Jo Lane
hail told them and remain at ace.
His name became a watchword among
the Indians. He was the William
Pellll of the West.
Little belittle the Indians lust their
p iwer , and, as they were forced to
give up their land, they ls-caine more
savage and relentless. Tho Table
Rx k band remained quiet, until, at
hist, seeing that they could not save
their home except by flghing for it,
they, too, joined the other tribes in
their effort to hold what still remain
ed. Major Kearney was sent to aid the
pioneers. Two battles were fonght at
the foot of Table Hock, but the set
tlers were unsuccessful and this gave
the Indians courage and added to the
pioneers' troubles. General Iine,
who was on his way to California,
hurried to the valley. No sooner had
the Indians heard that he had arrived
than his name was heard on every
side.
Chief Jo called from Table Rock
across the river to Gen. Lane telling
him of their troubles. "The white
men have come on horses in great
numbers. They are taking our
country. We are afraid to lie down
to sleep lest they come nixin us. We
are weary of war and want peace.
Our In arts are sick."
Chief Jo had boasted that he
had a "thousand warriors who could
darken the sun with their arrows, "
and had refused to yield to the white
people. But he felt that (Jen. Ijuie
was the Indians' friend, and soon
treaty was made.
In the shadow of Table Rm k the!
last council was held and was, as ha
been related, one of the most imiosiug
sights ever witnessed by hnman eyo.
The council was held on the western
side of the rook, and after it closed,
the bugle sounded and the soldiers
marched slowly away just as the rays
of the settiug sun gilded the summit
of Table Rock. Did the Indians read
their doom in that setting sua or real
io that they had relinquished forever
their right to the homo which had
first been theirs? Who shall say what
it cost the Indians to see the beauti
ful valley which for time immemorial
had belonged to them ami theirs ass
into other hands.
An incident is related of an Indian
maiden whose dusky lover had been
captured by tho white soldiers, who,
fearing that she too might be captured,
or that she should never see him ngain,
threw herself from tho cliff only to be
dashed to pieces on the cruel rocks
below
Well may it be said of Tablo Rock
ana tne luuians whose homo it was
"hero they warred; the echoing war-
whoops, the defying death soug, both
were here ; and wlien the tiger strife
was o'er hero curled the smoke of
peace." Here they heard the roar of
the last wave as it settled over them
forever.
The council fires no longer burn on
Table Rock, the dreaded war cry has
died away j but wo have with nsuuuiy
of tho brave, noble souls who fought
for the homes wo now hold dear. We
have tho memory of those who have
passed to the "great beyond."
Southern Oregon has a history which
should bo an inspiration to her sons
and daughters forever. May the know
ledge of that history awaken adcccr,
truer patriotism iu every heart in the
laud "where rolls the Oregon".

"TAKILMA."
Waldo, Oro., June U, Willi.
Editor Courier, Grants Pass, Ore.
Dear Sir: We have given the name
Takilma" to our little new town on
the west hank of the East Illinois
river, having a desire for appropriate
names and believing in tho jicrpct na
tion of those names belonging to the
Indian trilss. We havo not yet much
of a town, but we believe it will
cveutually become- a place of somo
little importance. I have asked many
people what was the name of the In
dian trils) that formerly lived in the
ncighhorhiMHl of the Illinois ami
Rogue rivers, but 110 one that I ever
asked was able to answer the qnesion.
The ls st that could I 1I0110 was to
call them the "Rogue, River Indians";
loiisequontly I ilmv been in corre-
sjKindence with the Bureau of Kllinnl-
igy of the Smithsonian Institution, in
Washington . Having been asked
what the name "Takilma" meant ami
why it was selected and believing
that it will i better to let the 'Oplc
know through the public press, I iiji-
s nd herewith tho list letter receiv
ed from tho Bureau of American Eth
nology, which may Isi considered an
authentic and correct answer to the
questions as to why we have named
our prospective town liusly. The
contents of the letter will also. I
think, prove interesting to the people
of Josephine county, and will set at
rest the misnomer " Rogue River In
dians". Very truly yours.
T. Wain-Morgan Drajs r.
Washington, I). C, May ait, V.K2.
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter
of the till, I will say that' the word
'Takilma" is the name of the single
tribe couijiosiiig the Indian linguistic
family of that name. The majority
of the linguistic families are com.
posed of more than out) tribe, but this
case is an e ice pi 1 011.
Takilma Indian formerly lived in
that section of couutry lying between
the Illinois and Rogue rivers. In Ih,
only twenty-seven of the tribe were
known to exist; this remnant lived, at
that time on the Siletx reservation,
Tillamook county, Oregon, where they
were found by one of the Ethnologists
of this bureau.
Thinking that you may be interested
; in the subject I take pleasure in send-
1 nig you a copy of a reprint from the
"th annual rejs.rt of this Bureau, giv.
ing a list of the linguistic families of
America. Very resieetfully,
F. M. Baruett.

OREGON RELICS.
Two Kentucky rifles have boon re
ceutly donated to the Oregon Historic
al Society at Portland that are
different from any others iu the col
lection. The peculiarity of the guns
is that tho wooden stock extends the
entire length of the barrel. One is
from Johu W. Dennis and the other
belonging to R. W. Morrison, who
was the first white man iu General
Cornelius Gilliam's party to kill a
buffalo. It was brought ucross the
plains iu 1811.
Another rifle which formerly was a
fliut look, the property of Thomas
Walker, was also recently turned over
to tho society. It was purchased iu
Ohio iu ISllo in exchange for a cow.
It was brought to this stute around
Capo Horn iu 1S:3. It was destroyed
by lire in 1S(8 and then retired. It
belongs to John P. Walker, son of the
original owner.
MEDALS FOR OREGON.
The medals and diplomas awarded
to Oregon exhibitors at tho Pan
Americaii Exposition last year have
arrived at Portland, and A. P. TitTr,
chairman of the Oregon commission,
has been busy wilding them out to the
fortunate exhibitors. There nre a
total of 1,1-3 medals to lx given out, of
which 27 are gold, a:i silver and 73
brou.e, in addition to 103 honorable
mention diplomas. Each recipient
of a medal also receives a diploma.
The gold medals are plated, but tho
silver and bronze nre made of the
genuine metal.
The delay iu receiving tho awards
was due to the failure of the Expo
sition management to bear the cost of
manufacturing the medals. The
plates consequently had to be paid for
by the Oregon commission, which.by
its economy, saved enough of it ap
propriation to stand the expense. The
plates are all cast iu the official Pan
American dies. It is gratifying to
know that Oregon's exhibits were sec
ond to none and were awarded more
medals 'than anv other state.
Deafness Cannot lie Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the nr.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tho mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tubo gets
Inflinied you have a rumbling sound or
iinpeifect hearing, ami whi n it is en
tirely closed deafness is tho result, and
unless the Inflammation can b taken
out and this tube restored to its noimal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten aro caused by
oatarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred l. liars
for any cases of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not lie cured by Hall's
Caiarrh Cure. Mend for circulars, free.

The regular meeting of tlioW.C.
T. U.will bo held at the home of Mrs.
U.A. Wade, Juno 20, at 2:110 p. in.
W. 0. T. U. AND KINDER-,
(JAKTKNS.
W.O. T. U. workers from the very
first have felt the vital n I of more
(Kisitivo work forVliildren. The simple
salient fact is, we do not get hold of
children of vice and crime environ
ment soon enough.
The Ucrmuu siet says wisely when
ho says: "Early training makes t lie
master." Prevention is one of the
ringing watchword of tlieW.'O. T.U.
Therefore, in tho kindergarten lies
the germ of every dejstrtmeiit of our
great, ninny-sided work. Format ion
is vastly moro important than refor
mation.
Emerson well says: "That long
before tho majority of mothers are
conscious of the fact, tho child's ideas
of life, of duly, of jilt asure, of use
fulness, am receiving a bent which nil
the education of schools and colleges
cannot uproot. A n child thinketh
ill his heart, so his chnratetur will lie
formed what he sets his desires upon
the ideas ho builds will determine
tho course indirect ion that his thought
and his will are going to move, and
what he wills to do, to be, builds his
lia racier. "
Prevention is education and educa
tion is moral development, or It is not
true education.
Too much of our school curriculum
teac hes children to pass examination
rather than to develop moral stamina.
In San Francisco the children that
camo out of a kindcmurtcii of the
lum district were carefully followed
fur nine years. An investigation of
the city ami state records revealed the
fact that out of 1HKK) children gradu
ates of this slum kindergarten, but
me had ls eu arrested, and he was
halfwitted. This statement came
from Mrs. Sarah Cooper, of Califor
nia kindergarten fame.
Has the Oregon W. 0. T. l ever
done anything along this line? In
lH'.t'.i, the Portland union sustuined a
free kindergarten with that very effi
cient teacher, Marie A.rne, at the
head, and they have in innumerable
occasions co n raleil with existing
ones. Inithiy t lievu in lncorrat -lug
the svsieui iu public schisds?
In answer let me give the resolu
tion passed by tin' Portland Union at
a regular meeting at the time the
OUestioll was first IILril:ile,l ln.il -..,,,. .
"Whereas, We Isdi.Ve that there
is an intimate relation Is tweeii igno
rance and crime, ami that tho prison
I stands over against the sclnsil, ami
that from one neglected child may
come a stis k of criminal and iui ril
thi' community, ami that the fotiuila
aiion of National prosperity and ier
)s tuity is to Is' laid deep down iu our
Infant schools, ami that the ls st meth
ods of infant school , carried will 1k
found in the kindergarten plan; there
fore, . it
" It' solved, That iu our opinion
flee kiudcrgartcii should be multipli
ed till no child can Is' found left oat,
and that they should certainly become
a iart of our regular public school
curriculum. "
Every up-to dale temperance re
former must believe iu the kindergar
ten a tlm bedrock of all efforts of
(prevention of vice, and all White
Itihlsiners will, I feel sure, stand by
the above resolution.

The human soul is God's highest
I creation and noblest organ, and his
I clearest revelation must bo through
that and through the noblest pert of
the hiiinun soul. Every form of ge
nius is Inferior to conscience, to the
heart, to faith, syinimthy and love.
