CHAPTER L
' THE OREGON "DESERT."
From the north boundary Una to
the south boundary Una of the state.
there lies In Eastern Oregon a strip
of territory about 400 miles lonj and
aooui uu nuies wiue, which
once known as the Great Oregon Des-
ert. and tnrougn wnicn ran me oro
Oregon trail.
This desert, unlike most deserts.
contains many oases. There are run-
n'.ng streams of pure water, and nu-
merous springs boll from the sides of
the mountains and rise even from des- nurtured and cultivated for experl
ert sands: and wherever this water mental nurooses. In front of the sreat
touched the fertile soil beautiful mead-
ows of native grass greeted the eye
of the occasional adventurer.
But these seemed few and far be-
tween In early days; and for lack of ground. Fountains play in the sun

many years afterward marked the
last place where he laid himself down
to rest
Even In these days when much
of the ground, accessible to water, is
occupied by the pioneer homesteader.
one may travel a hundred miles or
more without encountering a single
human habitation, or living thing.
The Oregon desert is practically a
succession of mountain plateaus. It
Is at a high altitude at every point
To reach it from most any direction
one must climb a great mountain
range, and meander at Intervals
among snow-capped peaks nd tnrough
rock-bound canyons and gulches; and
to cross It one must traverse wide
stretches of barren plains that never
taste or water, except from use melt-
ing snows of winter, and must also
encounter lava beds and waus or rocs
seemingly Insurmountable. These
flalns" remind one of a huge extinct
volcanic crater, although they cover
thousands of acres ' In area, and It
takes days of travel to cross many of
them. They vary . in sixe, however,
rom small plateaus of a few acres to
the illimitable outstretched plains. But
they all bear the same characteristics.
The traveler, whether passing through
a small basin or a great plateau, is
struck with same impression. A wall
surrounds each of these ba
sins or plateaus and sepa
rates one from another. These
walls consist of rocks piled upon one
another with masonic care, the Joints
being broken as perfectly and smooth
ly as if done by skilled human hands,
snd they rise perpendicularly from ten
to two thousand feet into th air, and
to make them the more difficult of
ascent thick layer of flat rocks lie
atonic the top of the wall extending
cut on either side into wide eaves and
sheltering them like the rim of a hat
or the eaves of a flat roof, and these
are called the rimrocks.

and bloodthlrstlness. Many an im

become exhausted and careless from
want of proper food and water, to
gether with the care of their Jaded
animals, reduced to mere skeletons
from plodding through the burning
sands and drawing heavy loads over
the flinty rocks, without feed or
water, while passing through these
canyons and beneath the rimrocks,
came under a shower of poisoned ar-
rows that left death along the trail,
The heaps of rocks in the gulchee
and canyons, and tht little mounds
scattered over the plains, are yet in
dexes to many of these sad stories.
Captain Jack had his territory, and
bad some principle, although he died
or the gallows, but the marauding
chiefs, Egan and Paulina, knew no
bounds of territory and knew no
limit for crime and bloodshed. The
peaks, buttes, streams and canyons
still bear their name? from one end
of the desert to the other, and there
is no landmark that-guides the trav-
e!er through the plains that does not
recall some memory of the terrible
crimes of these two chiefs and their
bloodthirsty warriors, and many of ?V f.1"' , c Duge po8ts and a

to the east are stables, corrals, hay-

appurtenances of an old-time western

Irrigated from pipes that run from a

orchard where every indication points
o the fact that the trees are betnsr

But It is the interior of the house

But there are two occupants of the

now and then a cloud seems to ob

which were depleted in his face.
CHAPTER III.
A Midnight Surprise.
"And how did you leave dear un
cle?" inquired a young woman In a
olee of Innocence.
"Oh, In the very best of spirits re
plied a nidged frontiersman, covered
with the dust of the platns.
"And how long shall it be before
we reach his placer inquired the
same female voice.
"Vlthin about two days that Is If
nothing happens to prevent It" re
plied the man.
"But nothing can happen to prevent
It except an extraordinary event, can
it?" Inquired the girl assurlngly, and
continuing as if to remove all doubt,
"you look fresh, your men are all
fresh and your horses look as If they
were anxious to start on tho return
Journey."
"That Is all true. Madam, but In this
country we never count on anything
until it's accomplished, and the 'ex
traordinary is likely to happen any
time."
'Oh, then are we to pass through a
dangerous section?" inquired the
maiden with some alarm.
"No, not particularly, but when the
Snakes are skulking among the rocks
they are likely to strike at any time,"
replied the frontiersman.
"What kind of snakes are they." In
quired the young woman . "I have
read of your American snakes," she
continued, "and know that there must
be very many varieties, and that they
must be dangerous but never rend of
them biting people on horseback."
"But these Snakes bite at any time
nnd at any place," replied the man
v.ith a smile. "They prefer the dark
however, and more often strike from
ambush. To be plain with you. Mad
am, and yon must be a nervy girl to
have crossed the ocean and come this
far alone, the 6nakes I speak of are
liidians, belonging to the tribe of
Piutes called Snakes for the very rea-1
son that they strike from ambush." I
"Then are we in Imminent peril"
Inquired the girl with self-possession. '
"No, no, not that. Miss, we might
make this trip a dozen times without
being molested, but the Snakes are on !
the warpath now, and while cattle '
stealing and horse stealing is their
principle object they are not averse
to bigger prey, especially when the i
odds are In their favor. They go In 1
small bands, though, and our boys are',
capable of holding their own with
most of them. As It is getting late
and we wish an early Btart In the
morning, I would advise you to retire
and get a good rest, for a couple of
hundred miles on the back of a cayuse
will prove a task for a tender young
lady like you." and as the young wo
man walked away to her tent, Dan
Follett muttered to himself: "A
pretty fair flower to be plucked by the
Flutes!" i

Egyptian Girls at Plajr.
In her "Recollections of an Egyptian

game at romps In the garden of the
palace which discloses a very close
touch of nature. The princess was
seated near a Ilttlo lake, which had
been constructed In a serpentine shape.

She was laughingly scolding one of
her attendants, when the girl broke
away, crying out "My mistress Is an

rushed Into the water.
The princess called out, "Oh, stop
her! Stop her! and three or four fol

well enough that the water was not

done It for a Joke, and she turned
round and threw water In the faces of
her pursuers.
The princess had seen the Joke di

and now joined heartily In the fun,
and urged others to help In the cap

warm weather set In was white Indian
grass-cloth, mo-e or less flue, made
loose, and confined at the waist by a
colored sash, a ribbon to match being
usually worn round the throat, and to
tie back the hair.
The dress could not be hurt by the

spoiled. Some were seen to cast
glance on their pretty ties, which was
a signal to those who saw tho look to

RADIUM IS DANGEROUS.
I. a Source of Powerful and Scorch
lng- .Roentgen Hay.
The rare substance radium has been
brought Into much prominence of late
by the Investigations of Becquerel,
Curie and others. A constant source
of Roentgen rays so powerful that It
snouia oe carried in a lead tube to
avoid danger of burns. Is a bit start
ling to say the least, and while Its vis
ible radiation Is not strong, its extra
ordinary properties are enough to set
one thinking strenuously. The real na
ture of the radiations Is, of course, In
volved In the same mystery that sur
rounds the Roentgen ray.
In spite of the very large and val
uable body of work that has been done
upon this subject, the ultimate nature
of the phenomena Is still very far from
a satisfactory explanation, since sev
eral hypotheses meet the facts fairly
well, and no one of them can be veri
fied without involving still further hy
potheses as part of.the argument But
the behavior of radium opens a beau
tiful vista of possibilities.
What would happen in the art of Il
lumination If some one should hit ui
on a luminous paint fifty times as bril
liant and permanent as the ordinary
calcium sulphide variety? If one had
only to expose the light-giving body to
sunlight or bright daylight for a few
hours to obtain storage or energy for
the evening, how the electrical arts
would get shaken np? And yet such
a discovery is far less Improbable, says
the Electrical World, than some that
nave actually been made like Mols
