great wheat belt of Dakota, which
was becoming more and more val

franchise and all: at that time it
had very little value and was
worth s to 10 cents, and at these
figures Willard and his associates
bought not less than $4,000 shares,
and FIVE years ago, when the an
nual meeting occurred, to the
amazement of the old owners, Mr..
Willard reconstructed the directo-
ry, electing himself president of
the company. Mr.. Wizards en-
ergy since his election has been
untiring. He has sold nearly
S30,000,OO0 worth of land, and
has two-thirds of the grant yet
untouched. 1t is estimated that
this land grant alone is worth
S100,000,000. That which has
been sold has brought f:om $3.50
to s. per acre, and much OF the
rest is the most valuable portion
Of the grant. The road will be
opened in a few weeks from the
Pacific ocean to the great lakes,
and as thoroughly equipped as
any in the country. At forty
nine Mr.. Willard is among the rich
men of the country, and he has
made all his fortune in ten years
and from absolutely nothing.
His Oregon steamship stock is
worth s6,000,000, and his interest
in the Northern Pacific not less
than $1o,OOO,OOO, very fair for
tune for a newspaper reporter to
make in ten years.

An Indian Preaching to Indian
Women.
Oregon Astorian. ]

There was curious practice among
the Indians on Puget sound in the early
days. il was the lecture Or sermon that
at stated periods, WAS delivered ezclu-
siyely to the Indian women. An impor-
tant member Of the tribe, The big CHIEF
or the medicine man, would select q
prOm0ntOry Or island, remote from the
mainland. and paddle himself there soli-
tary and alone, on q fine day. Soon all
the squaws would be seen following him,
padding vigorously toward the common
point. No bucks we're among them I;
they all remained on the mainland.
The preacher, Instructor, exhorter, OF
whatever he was often stood in the rater
up TO his knees for full hour or more
while he delivered his discourse; but

as close around him Is their canoes would

The Death of Robin Hood.

All accounts affirm that Robin Hood
lived 10 a very old age, and at last died
by treachefy. He had a cousin, who
vas the prioress of a nunnery called
Kirklees, and when he was aged and in
frm and suffering from an attack Of
disease, he went to her to be bled.
Robin was very sick when he reached
the gate Of the nunnery, where he was
met by his cousin. Little thinking Of
treachery, he suffered her to conduct
him to room and open vein in his
ann. There he was left bleeding, The
door OF the room was locked, and the
window was too high above ground 20
admit of jumping out. He remained in
this state till the next day at noon, when
he thought to blow a blast on his horn.
1t was 4 quayering and feeble sound.
Little John was lingering about, wait
ing to see his beloved master. When
he heard the mournful blast, he sprang
up and hurried to the nunnery. He
broke locks and dashed open doors until
he reached the room where Robin lay
dying. He fell on his knees and begged
to be allowed to burn Kirklees Hall and
all the nunnery; but Robin said: mo,
l never hurt n woman in my life, nor a
man in company with a woman, and 1
will not allow such thing to be done
now. But string my bow for nae. and
give me it, and broad arrow, which l
will shoot from the window, snd where
that arrow falls there let my grave be
dug. Lay 4 green sod under my head
and another at my feet, and lay my bent
bow at my side, for it has always made
sweet music for me-
This request was complied with By
Little John. The arrow that Robin shot
| fell under tree, and there the bold
chief was buried. His death was prob
ably near the year 1900.
Some worthy historians have doubted
whether such man as Robin Hood ever
lived, and have classed the stories Of his
exploits among the myths Of the past.
It is hardly probable, however, that
this IS the correct theory The safer
and more reasonable conclusion would
seem 10 be that Robin Hood really
reigned in the forests as represented
but that many OF the stories about hin
have been exaggerated by the ballalt
singers aud early writers Of England.
