Whitman, the intrepid missionary, who
saved Washington, Idaho and Oregon
to the Union, once more brought it into
notice. Whitman did not settle at
Lewiston, but went on to Walla Walla,
where he remained until 1912. Learn
ing then that the American Gov
eminent contemplated surrendering
this part of the country to the
British for some privileges to New
England fishermen off the coast of
Newfoundland, under the impression
that Oregon was a sterile, worth
less tract, and separated from the
East by impossible mountain barriers,
he made perilous horseback ride,
alone, across the mountains and plains,
to st. Louis, and thence to Washing
ton, where he succeeded in obtaining
from President Tyler promise that ii
he would demonstrate the fertility of
the country and open route by lead
ing company of thousand emigrants
from the Mississippi to the Columbia
and settling them there, this region
now Oregon, Washington and Idaho
thirty-two times as large as Massa-
chusetts, should not lie sacri-
feed for little fish bait In

formed the required task, and this

however, was fully concluded, Whit

patriotism. being massacred by the III

States Government has never taken
any measures, even by Congressional
resolutions, to recognize and honor
his services, and worse. the prop

at the time of the massacre has
not been refunded to his heirs. The
people of Walla Walla have named a
college in his honor, and the prosper

A fellow missionary with Whitman
was Spaulding, who settled on Lapwai
Creek, branch of the Clearwater, and
twelve miles above Lewiston. Here
he built the first house in Idaho, which
is still standing. 1t was originally a
two-story building, though only the
ground floor remains. The cut here
with gives a pretty fair idea of how
the structure looks. 1t is now used by
the Indians for q stable. In this build

NV husbands horse had almost hui
man ways of talking with him as he
leaned far out of the saddle and laid
his face on the gallant animals head,
and there was u CLEAN in the eye, q
proud little toss of the head. speaking
back a whole world of affection. The
General could ride hanging quite out
of sight on the opposite side, one foot
caught in the stirrup, his hand on the
name, and it made no difference to his
beloved friend; he took any mode that
his master chose to cling to him as a
matter OF course, and curved and
pranced in the loftiest, proudest way.
His manner as plainly said as speech:

ally to submit to some bantering slur

My side had trick of aching if we
started off on q gal'op, and L was
obliged to keep tight rein on Gusts
Lee at first, as he champed at the bit,
tossed his impatient head and showed
every sign of ignominious shame. The
General, rs usual, called ont, "Come
on, old lady! Chug up that old plug
of yours; I've got one orderly; don't
want another riding at con sid
cradle distance in the rear. After q
squirt of tremendous speed back flew
the master to me to excuse him; he
was ready now to ride slowly till that
side of mine came round to time, "
which it quickly did, and then l re-
venged the insult on my swift Lee, and
the maligner at last called out, "That's

lie then stood on his hands for
moment and then turning back
| somerset with his heavy iron under
clothes and zinc overcoat on, cracked
his heels lightly together, and putting
buffalo chip on his shoulder walked
up and down in front of the grand
stand.

Bethlehem-Jud crawled through o
hole in the fence and asked Saul what
he would do for anybody who would
put q nose on the uncircumcised side

King stated that he would make him
rich and give him his daughter to wife
and a span of horses with sawed off
tails and position in the custom
house, and the young man from
Bethlehem-Judah said that would be
satisfactory. But Saul said, Young
man, you will get injured, for you are
mere younster,' and so saying put q
coal-scuttle on the head of David
and armed him with o piece of
gas-pipe, but David said he would not
choose any of them, and so he
selected few moss agates from
the branch and his shepherds sling,
with which he had heretofore slang,
and when he got to where he could see
the white of the eye of the gentleman
from Gath, he smote him with a smooth
stone over the eye, and it sank into
Golath's think tank and some of his
thoughts ran out on the grass and he
died. And David went up to him and
cut off Goliath's head. Being recalled
by the audience he cut off other frag-
ments of the giant, and then went
away. 1t was great success in every
way, and after killing most of the
Philistines the Israelites returned to
their places of business and began
marking down goods, feeling that it
was really as good little outdoor
entertainment as they had ever wit
messed"
do not say that this is the best way
to write up the above incident, but it
gives an idea of how each student may
express himself in his own way, using
the facts as they already exist.

nally sent by the American Board of
Foreign Missions at Boston, in 1909,
to the Sandwich Islands, and in 1910
was presented by the First Native
Church of Hawaii to the Lapwai Mis-
sion. Z. o, Hall came along with it to
set the type. Part of the New Testa-
ment was set up and printed in the Nez
Perez language and distributed among
the Indians. This was the first print
ing on the coast. The press is now in
the State Library at Salem, Oregon.
The Government subsequently estab-
ished q military post at Lapwai, but it
was abandoned couple of years ago,
and the build ngs are now used for In
dian schools.
The permanent settlement of Lewis
ton began in 1862, with the discovery
of gold in the mountains of Idaho and
Montana. and for years was an Quitting
point for the miners. Thousands of
men camped about here during the
first year, and worked the streams for
gold dust. Everything was held at in
hated figures. The present Court
House, built for hotel, cost $50, 1000,
common laborers being paid as high as
$40 day.
Lewiston was the first capital of
Idaho Territory, the Legislature meet
ing in separate buildings, as shown in the
sketch, which gives them as they looked
in their better days. The one to the
right, where the Senators met, is now
stable. the other a Chinese laundry,
while the saloon building sandwiched
in between has tumbled into ruins.
Lewiston of to-day is a quaint old
