JOE ALECK, AGED INDIAN, SUCCUMBS much buainest with him in the early days, and always found him honest. He used to call at the store very often. One day last July he came in. '1 want you to give me a Chriatmaa present.' he said. 1 told him it wat July and pretty early in the year for a Christ mat present, but be maintained that he must have it. When I asked him what he would like be told me a lamp. I got a ladder and got down a little lamp. 'No! No!' he aaid, 'give me one of the twinging kind.' And when he had received a lantern he went away smil ing and happy." But few of the picturesque old fel lows of the pioneer days remain. In dian George, who a year or two ago was seen on the street almost daily, makes his visit more infrequent. The Indian as known to the pioneers, will soon be passed away to the Happy Hunting ground.

DONOVAN TRADES HOTEL PROPERTY D. P. Donavan, who last tummer purchased from the Columbia Securitica Co. the Hotel Oregon property and who has been in active management of the big hostelry for several months, has transferred the hotel to H. Gray, of Prineville, in part payment for the let ter's famoua Bonney View stock ranch. The ranch ia valued at a turn in excels of $100,000. Friends of Mr. Donovan, however, will be glad to know that he will continue to make bit borne In Hood River. He will retain the man agement of the hotel for Mr. Gray.

The Indians say that Joe aicck naa reacned the age of 100 years. However, pio neer residents do not think he was past 85. The bent figure of the old man with his long hair and creased, parch ment like countenance, was a familiar ight on the streets of the city up un til several months ago, when he be came so feeble that it wat difficult for him to get to the city. Joe Aleck, before the u.-w. k. & in Co. line was constructed, carried the mail between Hood Kiver and White Salmon for many years. He was faith ful in hia duties and many timet en dangered his life in crossing the Co lumbia.when it was impossible to make the journey by boat. The old Indian would don long skns and would often lumn from one moving ice noe to an other, in order to get the mail to its destination on time, the early mer chants always found him scrupulously honest. As soon as the newt of Joe Aleck a death waa heard by the Indians living n neighboring cities. Red Men began to hurry to the local village to pay their last tribute to the old fellow. As many as 80 mourners assembled and tribal ritea and customs were observed Martha. Joe Aleck's turviving widow. a dienitied and aristocratic looking old woman, well known to Hood Kiver peo ple, observed the old time customs and presented the mourner with gifts of monev and prized articles.

A number of the white iriends assembled with the Indians to Day their last re spects before the remaina were interred with its present or wampum in toe Indian burying ground. It was an ia teresting funeral cortege. The Indian mourners journeyed to the church on horseback and in their mountain wag ons, entering the church with a pe culiar aw and reverence. Joe Aleck a were many of the other Indiana of the vicinity, wat converted to me Catholic faith in pioneer dayt by frontier mission priest. Joe Aleck bad many friends in Hood River, and the aentence, "He wat a good Indian," was often heard repeat ed, when newa of hia death was heard.
