"Ten Years in Oregon" is an interest ing serial in the Sunday Oregouiari made tip from a history of the state published in 1844 by Daniel Lee and J. H. Frost, first missionaries to Oregon. The ac count of the establishment of the mission at The Dalles is of particular local interest, as an account is given of an overland trip from the mission to the Willamette valley. Hood River is spok ' en of aB "White river," because of the milky appearance of the water at the time. Following is part of the story : The members of the Oregon mission considering The Dalles on the Columbia river as a promising field for missionary effort,' it was determined to begin a new station at that place, which is about 80 miles above Foit Vancouver.and accord ingly, in 1838, Mr. PerkinB snd the writ er appointed to proceed to the Dalls for that purpose. Leaving the Walamet station on the 14th of March, they embarked in two ca noes with a small cargo of supplies, passed down the Walamet river, and then ascended the Columbia to the place of destination, where they arrived en Rea I Estate lan Offers the Bargains this Week FARM PROPERTY.

About three miles below the DallB,and a half mile from the shore on the south side, was found a valuabh spring of wa ter, some rich land, and agood supply of timber, oak and' pine, and an elevated and pleasant location (or a house, al most in their shade; with a fine extend ed view of the Columbia river, three miles on either hand. The back ground was broken and billy, and thinly wood ed. Here, about the 1st of April, a house was begun. The Indians assisted in cutting the timber, and bringing it upon the spot. Meantime, Mr. Jaeon Lee arrived on his way to the United States, accompanied by Mr. F.dwardB, and another gentleman, Mr. Ewlng, of Missouri, and two Indian bovs of the Chenook tribe, W. M.Brooks and Thom as Adams, who had been some time in the mission school at the Walamet station. The object of his visit was to obtain additional facilities to carry on, more etticiently and extensively, the missionary work in -Oregon territory. April SHh, having hired horses of the In dians to convey himself to Wallah-wal lah, where he was to purchase the horses needed to make the tour of the moun tains, that being the usual plac- of out tit for parties going by . land into the interior, he took an affectionate leave of his friends, Mr. Perkins and the writer, and set off on his arduous journey .accompanied by the aforenamed gentlemen and the native boys. The same day Mr. Perkins embarked in a canoe for the Walamet station in order to bring his wife to the Dalls, and re- Following turned in safety on the 5th of May. The building of the house went on amidst manv interrnptions, and it was Hashed before whiter. Mr. Perkins' hiinily occupied it long before it was .roofed ; but as the climate was dry, and ruin seldom fell in summer, it was quite shI'b. Several trips were made to Walamet and Vancouver by water during the year for supplies. One journey was made to f ori w anan-waiiaii 10 genium es and another overland, to the Walamet station, to obtain cattle. These various journeys and voyages took us away from the station about five months each dur ing the year. Immediately on our arri val at the station we began holding meetings with the Indians on the Sab bath; speaking to them in the"jargon," through an interpreter. This imperfect medium of communication sprang from the traffic of the whites with the In dians, and it embraces some English, some French, and many Indian words, some Chenook, some Wallah-wallah, and some of the other tribes, and is un derstood more or less by individuals in almost all the tribes beyond the moun tains. Their behavior at woiship was vorv serious, and most of them would kneel in time of prayer. Our meetings were held without, among the oaks, or under a pine, whose cooling shade screened us from the burning sun. A lew scattering stones afforded seats for some, and others sat quietly on the around ;a manner of sitting to which they are well used, and which they ureter to any other. September 3. The writer left the Dalls to go to the Walamet overland alter cattle, a journey of 125 miles, tak ing 1U horses, owned by tlie Oregon mission, and 10 others, some belonumt! to the Indians who were going to assist him, four in number, and a supply of pro visions for six days.Oueof my indians.the oldest, probably lrom4U to aO, wav- blind of an eye, which had been destroyed by a violent lnnamallon, mat nearly caused his death. liut in bis extremity he tan uied some kind of visitor fioni the in visible world, who assured him that he should recover; upon which he soon re vived, greatly to the surprise of his friends around liim, who viewed his restoration us mysterious, tiuce they had looked upon him as one dead, and on this account he re ceived the name of Lk-woiii-a-neete that is, "heart," or "life." ile was oi Chenook descent, and a resident of the Dalls. Another was a Wallah-wallah, a stout young man of lo years, good stat uie, with a line forehead, and, what is rare, a Koumu nose. His name, which alanines to become dry, empty or desti tute, was Tah-lac-e-ou-it, and was itiven him because once he had Considerable property which he had lost by gambling, to which he was much addicted. One of the remaining two was a Chenook with the usual features, a flattened fore head and a wide mouth, about 20 years old. Proud of his skill in directing a cuuoe, ana oi his supposed Horseman ship, he ielt and boasted himself a man My other, a Walluh-wallah, was s shrewd young rogue, a gamester, dis honest to the core ; and besides these, a poor-cripple, with a short, shrivelled. crooked, cumbersome leg. To help his well one, he carried a strong cane or crutch, six or Beven feet long, on which he poised himself as he sprang from one place to another, two yards or more at a leap. Thus he was active on u single leg, even to admiration. Our horses are now saddled ;we mount and awav. Trot ting is an uutashiomible gait in Oregon. A cloud of dust marks our course west ward. In sight of the mission we cross a beautiful plain of grass, half a mile wide and a mile and a half long, spotted here and there with small basaltic islands. On our riiht flows the Colum bia; on our left are hills 200 and 300 feet in height.frini'ed at their base with a narrow, lengthened strip of oak and pine. Leaving this plain, we begin to ascenu among inns, diverging south' westward from the river in our course, The country for 20 miles is broken sparsely wooded with yellow pine and stinted oak.

It nuBinree rous wiue and about three feet deep, of a milky whiteness, filled with large, smooth stones. liowever, we crossed it without disaster. Here we entered the forest, at the base of that part of the President's range of moun tains lying soiuii ot the Columbia, on whose summits stand four ancient vol canoes covered with perpetual snow. On we went, in a narrow, crooked path, among windfalls and underbrush, dodg ing right and left to avoid contact with limbs stretched across our way. At uuo wo came io a sjiot wnere the hazel and brake bore rule, uermittini? nnlv little grass tegrow up in their shade.Here we uismounted, hobbled our horses and encamped lor the night. A tire was struck, some dried salmon and lamprey eels roasted ; and we sat down and make agood, hearty Indian supper. After a hymn and prayer.we wrapped ourselves in our Dianaeis, lay dow n under the bushes to avoid the dampness of the night.and rested sweetlv till t tin dawn of another morning. A long day's march was before us, and we made an early start. My one-eyed man led the way followed by the horses in two bands, three or four to a man, one bringing up the rear. Ooing west a few miles we came to a branch of White creek, which empties into it below the ford described. Up this, on the south side we several mues, and came to a rugged mountain barrier, where the water was confined in a deep iiivmo biuiu iiign, precipitous banks. Here the trail crossed to the other side.

A long, hard drive brought us to the top of the hill, and we began to ucwrou, wiui new courage and quick ened pace, toward the valley or andr creek, where a good encampment await ed onr arrival. We passed on through a miry tract, darkened by majestic ever greens. We were in the'midst of these when night came on and compelled us to encamp. Some of the horses were tied to trees and the rest were guarded during the night. Next morning we decamped early, and soon came to the Sandy. Thit rapid stream rise at the ba.e of Mount Hood, whose silver sum mit appears to rest on the sky about 15 mile off. The firea that once raged within its bowels, and blawd at ita top seem to have been long extinguished. Native tradition says that fire waa an ciently seen upon it, and that sounds were heard by the hunters who approached it.like the reportof muskets, and that it is inhabited by a peculiar race of men who are destitute of the power of vision.

Ed itor Glacier: On my recent trip to Weiser there was no snow until we reached the Blue mountains, where there was good sleighing. At Weiser farmers were plowing and seeding. Weiser made a good growth in the past year a $40,000 electric and water plant, five brick filocks, and small dwellings springing up in all directions. George Tripali, a former resident of Hood Klwr, is still at Weiser and has married a Weston lady, whom I had the pleasure of meeting.

' Tbe habits of people in general do not seem so bad when one considers the average Individual's limitations as to knowledge aud thought Tbe fact U that most people don't know, don't think and hence don't care. Let them read more science, think more sensibly and act more seriously, then their hab its will be more satisfactory. The alimentary receptacle, the stom ach or vat in which foods and liquids are received and mixed, is habitually converted by many persons into a chemical retort for all sorts of drugt and remedies with the view of reach ing and relieving the Ills of the various organs of the body, from dandruff to corns. The writer believes that he can give no more and better reasons for his confidence in the therapeutic value of remedies than moat other physi cians, but he wishes to emphasize here the transcendent element of common sense In their administration. Before and above all things, however, what it wanted Is a clean gnstro Intestinal ca nal, and his claim is that water prop erly used is the best agent to effect that cleansing. On a par with this canal In importance are the ellmlnative tissues and organs of the system the kidneys, mucous membrane and skin. What therapeutic agent properly used is bet ter than water? After all tbe assimila tive and ellmlnative organs and tis sues have been thoroughly rinsed with pure, soft water then, if it be still nec essary to administer a chemical agent, one may be selected that will, with these organs and tissues in better con dition, work wonders. If you are so foolish as to allow yourself to become foul from head to foot, cleanse your self with water before resorting to chemical aids. Health. FANCIES OF STUDENTS.
