Table Rock Battle Myth
Based on Old Newspaper
Story Says Mrs. Sargent
By Alice Applegate Sargent
We feel that the time has come
when truth should triumph over
fiction, and right here we state
most positively and emphatically
that no bultle was ever fought OX
THK TOP of Table Hock.
Long years ago, when Jackson
ville had a splendid paper of Its
own, a .Mrs. Plymale wrote a thrill
ing and interesting tale of a battle
on the top of Table Rock. This
artitle was simply a romance, but
It has been handed down to the
present day, and accepted by the
mass of the people as authentic
history. We give here tho true
story of the battle and the circum
stances which led up to it:
On the 17th o June, 1851, a
fight took place between a small
body of soldiers and the Rogue
River Indians on tho banks t the
stream which Is now known .
Bear creek, near where It flows
into Rogue river. In this fight
Captain James Stuart of the regu
lar army was shot through the
body with a poisoned arrow and
died of the wound.
Major Phil Kearney was in com
mand of this small detachment of
soldiers.
Alter the fight which resulted In
the death of Captain Stuart, thn
Indians fled into thy'ir stronghold
at the base of Table Rock, and
Major Kearney had to wait for re
inforcements before making an at
tack on the savages.
The attack was made on the 23d
of June, ISM. The Indians, who
four, lit behind stone fortifications,
wore under the command of Chief
John, the great war chief of the
Rogue Rivers.
The attack was renewed on the
24th. This fight was a desperate
one, and the Indians suffered se
verely. Major Kearney offered to
treat with them, but they scorned
his offer. He prepared to attack
early on the morning of tho 2,'th.
but the Indians fled from their
stronghold during the night. Al
though they were pursued, they
escaped to the timbered moun
tains, and only 30 women with
their children were captured. These
were held as hostages.
The battle was fought at the
base of Table Rock where, for ages,
fragments of rock had rolled down
the slope, forming stone breast
works. These the Indians had re
inforced by placing logs on top of
the boulders. A famous soldier ot
the civil war, Gen. George H. Mo
Clellan, tells us In his memoirs of
being In this fight with the Indians
when Captain Stunrt was killed.
Vie, a young subaltern, was a de
voted friend and comrade of Cap
tain Stuart. The body of the bravo
young soldier was buried at the
foot of n large oak tree, and the
initials of Stuart's name were cut
deeply into the bark.
Tho stream we now know as
Hear creek was named Stuart river
in memory of this young soldiers,
and should be so called.
Captain Stuart's last words were
an expression of regret that his
life had been sacrificed for a laud
that would never be anything but
a wilderness.
Dwellers In the Rogue River val
ley today, and thousuuds of tour
ists from all parts of the United
Slates, will realize that Captain
Stuart did not give his life in vain,
for tho wilderness In which he
died has developed into one of the
most beautiful and fruitful valleys
of the world.

It is (lifTiiMilt to enforce a
low when the public does not
want it enforced.
If you come back to earth 10,000
years hence, and find philosophers or
that day lumping this 1931 period of
what we call 'civilization" under the
general heading of universal barbar
ism," you need not be surprised.
Cannibals kill a Belgian official In
the Congo. Then the Belgian offi
cials kill 67 natives with machine

civilization.
Austin J. Roche, police chief of
Buffalo, N. Y., says America is the

and adds: Ood only knows where we

a boy or girl goes to prison, he or
she is never again the ame. He is
forever branded like they used to
brand cattle in the west. Perhaps our
philanthropists. Judges and lawmak
ers could invent some better prison
for young people than one in which
they play baseball for exercise, go to
moving pictures for amusement, and
take lossons in crime from older crim
inals, for their education.
President Hlndenburg's appeal to
President Hoover, now made public,
convinces any doubters that the
President's prompt action was necos
sary and timely, and that Germany's
financial death was not far away.
It is said that the Prince Oautma,
moved by the sight of a beggar's
body, rotting beside the path, was
turned to serious thought, and the
result was the Buddhist religion.
A dead Germany lying in the path
of world progress, would produce no
such useful result.
When our eight now 10,000-ton

that cracks developed In an Import

be remedied by rebuilding in pare.
Now the cruisers are found to roll s9
badly that accurate gunfire Is Im
possible. Tanks and bilge keels will
be Installed, and perhaps will prevent
that.
As for the rolling difficulties they
would be much simplified in war. A

VARIATIONS IN
COFFEE FIAVOR LAID
TO BULK ROASTING
Hills Bros. Coffee Doesn't
Vary in Flavor, Because of
Radically Different Process
It Is almost impossible to keep
bulk-roasted coffee from varying in
flavor. For in bulk roasting it is
difficult to roast each big batch
alike. One lot may be slightly over
done another a little underdone.
Naturally, they each have a differ
ent flavor.
Hills Bros, discarded the bulk
method for a process they invented
and patented. It is called Controlled
Roauting, and the roast is positively
controlled! Variation is overcome.
Every pound of Hills Bros. Coffee
has the same rich, full-bodied flavor.
As the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow a little at a time so the
uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee
is produced by this patented process
that roasts evenly, continuously . . .
a little at a time. No other process
is like it. That's why Hills Bros.
Coffee has a flavor no other coffee
has.
Hills Bros, pack their coffee in
vacuum cans. Air, which destroys
the flavor of coffee, is removed and
kept out of these cans. Ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. B"t Hills Bros. Coffee can t
?o stale. Order some today. Ask
or it by name, and look for the
Arab trade-mark on the can.

WHEN a substitute claims to

where it was made. Bywhom. How.

Only when these questions are
answered to your complete satis

can any substitute justify its claim,
"just like Kotex."
After all, why take risks? You
