- liMlliHiiBliiil g a V PA03 TWO 1- !' a ! it WMltW VALLEY HAS EARLY HISTORY THAT C. A. Wallace, who lives at 430 Xorth Bummer street, has hail some exciting experiences during Ma life on the Pa cific coast, lie was an expressman for Governor I. I. Ktevena nf Washington, when that stain, then a territory, was wracked by Indian wars, and the red men terrorized the Columbia river val ley. Where now there are fertile field and productive orchards the tomahawk and firebrand then reigned. He tells some interesting tales concerning his adventures and says he figured In some of the incidents of the following narra tive: By E. James Jones. It is hard to realize that the beauti ful and productive valley of tho Co lumbia, teeming witli life and now in the full tide of commercial develop ment, once echoed the Indian war whoop and was dominated by terror of the tomahawk and firebrand. Yet Columbia river history abounds in harrowing tules of Indian wars, which for many years rendered settle ment by the whites almost impossible. Dusky tribes of Spokane, Yakimns, Walla Wallas, Palouses, Cayuses, Nez Perei, Colvilles, Okanogans, Coeur d'Alenes, I'end d'Oreilles, Umatillas and Klickitats for many years held the valley in a reign of terror and the mastery of this region was only at tained through the sacrifice of a heavy toll of human life and the loss of a vast amount of property, with all tho ka.dships and dangers of pioneering in cident thereto. Kven as eurly as 1792, when Captain Uobert Gray entered the lordly rivor for the first time in the Bhip Columbia and gave it the name it now bears, a loafs load of seamen were enptured from his vessel and held for a heavy rnrsnai, n( Tillamook. A short time a flo wards the wily old chief Mwpiinna ei-"d Pio ship Boston nnd Jior entire crew nt the mine point, lu 1 Ml 2 the ehi Tonquiii, first vessel of tho Pa ciiic Fur company, under command of Captain Thome, was captured at a point north of tho mouth of the Co lumbia variously known as Kyuck Whoola on Newccutn bay, or N'uwity bay, or Xewcetoe. Every whito person on board was eventually killed, but the adventure cost the Indiiins a heavy toll before the ship wns finally blown up by one of the crew with hundreds of the looting ami pillaging Indians on board. Washington Irving portrays this event very prominently lu his in teresting book, Astoria, In the full of 1MI7 the hostility of tho red men broke forth in the massacre of Pr, Marcus Whitman ami family and other inhabitants of the Wai'ilatpu mis-iion, six miles troui the present city of Walla Walla. An epidemic of measles had broken out in tho lodges of the rod men in that year, nnd they certainly had a unique if not success ful method of treating tho drend dir ense. Kntrrin a pit of heated rocks, water would ho thrown on tho rocks and the patient enveloped in a cloud of steam, from which h would emerge and plunge into the ley waters of tho river. As a natural result death gener ally ensued. Massacre f Whitman. Ir. Whitman treated many of the natives and did all he could to re lieve their siiiferings, but inanv of them died in spite of all his efforts. At every failure the suspicions of the Iiidiuns became more fully aroused, when a haltbrerd, named Joe Lewis, 'bis mind bent on slaughter, rapine ami pillage, told tho Indians tho doctor wns poisoning them, and a plot v;ts formed to take the life of the great philanthropist. Istickns, or Stiecus, a I'lnutillu .Indian, who had embraced the Christian faith, warned tho white! of this plot, ami to allay the fears ami misgivings of .Mrs, Whitman, the doc tor promised to go down the river to The Dalles, where he had acquired n.isMun property, lint the next day on looking out they discovered n vast number of natives gathered on the hill back of the mission. As Pr. Whitman wit nt his desk that afternoon 'Palilalias, an Indian, entereil with the usual request for medicines, and was shortly followed by others. As tho doctor was1 about to comply with the request ho was tomahawked by Tamnhus. Tolnuknit, for whom the kind hearted missionary had performed many deeds of kindness, rushed in with his knife and stabbed the doctor many times. Other men about the mission were slain, Mrs. Whitman nnd children killed anil other women cruellv out raged and held in captivity, A few made their escape to Wnlln Wullu, but William McLean, in charge of the fori at that pluce, shut toe door in their faces and would not admit any of them, fearing their presence would precipi tuto an attack on the fort, Mdleaii, however, sent a courier down the river to convey tho tidings to Fort Van couver. Although the messenger passed Fort Dalles he gave them no warning, although fortunately that stronghold was not attacked. James Ponglas, "in command at Fort Vancouver, immediately sent a detach ment to rescue survivors of toe massa cre. With several hundred dollars at their command, 47 of the women und childieu worn ransomed, 13 having been murdered. Following close on the Whitman massacre came the fierce t'nynse war. The Oregon country, then under a pro viMoual government, dispatched 14 companies of volunteers to Walla Wulla, who had to leave their homes in mid-winter and start for tho I'pper Columbia. Cornelius (iilliam, an immi grant of 1H45 from Missouri, was in command. The waj was disputed at various points. At Sand Hollows, in Oregon, tue Indians, under command of Five Crows and War Kagle, attempted to prevent the crossing of the 1,'matillu river, Five Crows cluiming ability to top all bullets aud War Knglo saying he could swallow them. Poring" the engagement which followed Tom-McKay, a volunteer, fired at War Kagle, .Having, "Let him swallow this," kill ing the boastful ehieftniu. Five Crows topped several bullets, but was badly wounded. Having cleared the way to Walilatpu, the remains of the murdered inmate were gathered amrbitried near the mission, dragging along for more IS REPLETE V1TH THRILLING than three years, the Cay use War did : miahkin, Five Crows, Owhi, Quelchia not come to a close until 1.S50. land others dominated the hostile Bpirit ' Fierce Warfare' Breads Out.
