Captain Tichenors
Early Experiences
Continued from last week.
The ship reached Port Orford early

who proceeded immediately by land

Indian village and river. Howitzers

hey had massacred a short time pre

vards called Na-Ka-tut-cus, or twice

ng in their canoes and fleeing up the
river with their troops pursuing them
n r.ipidly as possible with tVe two
vliale boats with as many men as thay
'ould carry. The balance of the force
Killowed tip the margin of the river
coping near enough to render assist

,iarty fortunately secured one warr'or
torceil him to guide them, and for se
curity against escape, fastened a rope
around his nock. The poor fellow re
ceived many a pull from the hands of
those in charge falling into deep
loughs and beaver runs. The river
liottoms wero clothed with a dense
j uiwth of underbrush briers ami in
fact with everything that could rend

treme. The tioops were a number of
lays in reaching the first tributary, at
which point the Indian made a aland
mil there received n chastisement
vvlncli rendered any further expediti
ons unecessary, as those Indians as a
uibo never entered into hostilities
again.
The troops returned to the Illock
House and soon to Port Orford. It
had been storming n great portion of
the time they wore ahecnt. At Port
Orford, they had nothing but, tents for
their protection and not adequate
for protection in that stormy lattitude

quarters out of logs of cedar. They

following day after the arrival of the
Sea Gull. She waB in bail condition

son was an active, energetic man and
n good seaman. He had been most un
fortunate having lost the brig Mary
Stewart a short distance south of
Point Tobas and after that loss the Pi
lot boat Eclipse. Once more in a leaky
steamship he tried to have her calked.
Ho succeeded poorly as it rained un
ceasingly, and it was impossible to get
the vessel tight and render her sea

third of January 1852, the steamer
Sea Gull got up steam for sea, the
masters came on board and stated they
should follow tho steamer. Captain
Tichonor advised them not to under
take it, his being a steamer only war
ranted his proceeding to sea. A heavy
gale was blowing at sea, the bar was
very heavy which was cleared by the
steamer, Louisiana, Kingsbury end

Watching the vessel astern, saw the

The Dcmorest cleared the bar and had
proceeded one mile from it when all

all on board. In the elements she
loved and had so often buireted in
every clime. On board of her some of
tho best men Oregon had wero pass

timtfi In this epidemic of colds and grip
we arise to suggest that the city fath
ers empty a barrel of castor oil in the
municipal water supply reservoir. No
one would notice it in the present mix
lure and it would as a health restor
er, do a world of good.
The town of Fossil in this state is
getting tired of carrying the burden
which its name offers to tho would-be
wit and proposes a change. The names
of McBrida, Butte, Sinnot, and Ben
son have been suggested for the pro
posed change. To a man up a tree it
appears that if these are the only re
fuge the town had better stick to the
old luune a while longer.
WllOll We read
a short time stneo
in the Waterlord, Wis. 1'ost of its
printshop turning out twentyfive auc
tion posters in two weeks we solilo
quised: "There's one man who is busy
and contented." This week our friend
Ed Malone of the Post grows queru
lous over the fact that visiting Mil
waukee commercial boosters were not
greeted with becoming hospitality and
expresses the wish that his lot was
cast in a more enterprising com
munity. Verily, it is a notablo oint
incut in which there are no flics.
At the new terminal of the govern
ment railroad in Alaska called Anch
orogo they are selling water at
per barrel; 15 cts a bucket or two
buckets for a quarter. Tho water is
obtained by chopping holes in a near

orago is a profitable as well as a mo
ral institution.
According to a survey made in Ohio
duiing the past three years, one rural
church in every nine has been aban
doned and had its doors clos
The truth is that with their splitting
on various technicalities, the Protest
ant churches have made themselves
ridiculous and even the most blindod
bigot is now beginning to ssc it.
The editor of the Coquille Valloy
Sentinel is puzzled to account for
the loss of various articles by clothes
line thieves as "some of our undesir
able citizens have moved to Bandon
recently." It might be added that
there has been a distinct exodus from
this city to Coquille and perhaps
iho exchange, Coquille has tho worst
of tho swap.
If the citizens of Oregon would ex
erciso the same industry and enter
prise in securing state highways as it
loes in securing tho repeal of the Sun
lay closing law, wonders would bo ac
eomplishcd. There is probably not a
state in the Union that does not have
some form of Sunday law. Except on
llio Atlantic sea board, few enforce
ments are made. The instance where
the laws become useful is in abolish
ing nuisances that can be reached in
no other way. This haste to place it
aelf on record as in favor of a wide
open Sunday is not at all creditable to
Oregon.
Since the wreck of the Santa Clara
there has been a marked change in the
manner in which our Coos bay content
poraries refer to the Bandon bar. They
now have troubles of their own and
are willing to admit that the entrance
to the Coquille. has some commercial
value. Strictures, emanating from
Portland nrc arousing the Bay people
and the tone of the controversy is in
clined to he acrimonious.
Scoffing predominates in the com
ments made relative to Henry Ford
and hia peace party which left New
Vork harbor for Norway last week

quarrel than on Christmas day?
It isn't exerybody that is anxious
to escape taxation these days. Zeno
Gatchell and K. Davidson, local dray
men appeared befor the council last
Wednesday night and prgposed that
draymen be compelled to have a city
license before plying their trade. They
suggested $30 for the first team and
$10 for each additional team, tho li
cense money to be paid six months in
advance. This is a shrewd move on
the part of the draymen to limit com
petition nnd prevent people from en
gaging in the business as a pastime
or as a temporary expsdiant to tide
over the nccsssities of the moment.
Some time ago we turned down a
proffer of liquor advertising not car

Now we receive notice that a stcreo

and if we do not care to use it we are
to hand it over to some paper which
will run it. The letter ends with the
plaint. "Wo have sent inquiries to tho

did we get from any newspaper in
Bandon." Ye3, the Surf has gone dry
and is not accepting wet advertising
any more.
Sometime ago wo published on ar

A daughter was born to Mr. and

In "Tho House of the Lost Court,"
produced by the Edison Company and
piesentcd on the Paramount Program
to bo seen at tho Grand Theater on
December 9 with Viola Dana into star
of "The Poor Little Rich Girl" in the
leading role, there occurs a series of
scenes which might well havo been
filmed in tho Alps.
A party of four young pcoplo, Sir
Anthony Elliot, his younger brother,
the Honorable Captain Elliot, Nina
Desmond and Eleanor Vane, start on
an expedition the purpose of which is
to climb the mountain in the neighbor
hood of Castlo Elliott. They succeed
in approaching the highest peak and
when Elinor, Sir Anthony nnd the
Captain are assisting Nina to negoti
ate a particularly steep and diflicult
pass, her hold upon tho Captain's
Alpenstock breaks and she falls to
what tho others fear is her death.
Tho scene in unusually well contriv
ed. Tlie audience can only sco her
hands gripping tho stock. As the
Captain commences to slowly pull her
upwards her fingers nre seen to lose
their grasp and she disappears. For
tunately she is caught on an outjut
liug ledge, and thus it is that when
Anthony descends the precipitate of
the cliff on a rope, he succeeds in res-
cuintr her.
Tho post office of Myrtle Point will
soon I o housed in now quarters, a
building put up for the purpose by E.
