fathers at the mission, who contrived to
reach Wilson, and spirit him away to
the mission, just before the angry pros
pectors were about to string him up to
the nearest tree. AS token of his
gratitude in after years he presented
the De Smet mission with the beautiful
silver lamp which still ornaments its
nished hospitable shelter for both Gen.
Sherman and Gen. Sheridan and their
cavalry, and within those walls Col.
Wright dictated his famous treaty of
peace with the subdued Indians of the
Occur d'Alene, Spokane and Palouse
countries. It is also said that every
governor of the territory and state has
been pilgrim to this shrine. However
that may be, it is certain that the old
mission has played no small part in the
civic, military and scholastic history Of
the state, and is held in respect and rev.
erence alike by Protestant and Catholic
At Spokane, as well as at the other In
dian missions, we find that the feet of
the good and daring Father De Smet
were first upon the ground. He was
followed in labor among the Spokanes
by the not less pious Father Josef in
1859. Not until 1866, however, was a
permanent edifice erected near the now
metropolitan city of Spokane. This
was modest little chapel on Peone
prairie, which was built by Father Ca
taldo, and which continued to be head
quarters for work In this section until
in the eighties, when the foundations
for the present city of Spokane were
laid in the little hamlet that sprang up
around the splendid water power of
Spokane falls. When the village
reached considerable size, the fathers
secured small, frame carpenter shop.
on the corner of Maine and Bernard
streets, and transformed it into a chapel
and school. About this humble little
frame building have been built, in the
various portions of the city, the
splendid Catholic edifces which are
among its most handsome buildings,
and which shelter educational and
philanthropic institutions which are the
pride of it's citizens. In 1886 the large
church and also the Jesuit college for
the training of candidates for the
priesthood were completed. The latter
is located on a slightly eminence on the
outskirts of the city. A year later the
Sisters of Providence completed their
extensive hospital. The Sisters of the
Holy Name have also built a large
school and an orphanage in one of the
finest residence portions Of the city,
overlooking the Spokane river.
These and many other similar modern
institutions throughout the state may
be fairly locked upon as a portion Of

FAMOUS OLD MISSIONS.
Pioneer Work Done by Jesuits in
the Far Northwest.
To Them Belongs the Credit of Being
the First White Men to Force Their
Way Through the Forests
of Oregon.
Especial State Of washington letter.

Especial State of Washington letter.
The searcher after the annals of true
heroism and romance cannot fail to be
well rewarded by visiting the old mis-
sions which dot the northwest. He can
scarcely find a single one, however
humble, the history of which does not
hide many a pathetic story of frontier
heroism and self-denial, beside which
the fancies of idealizing ronancers are
tame, weak and favorless. Although
the great Pathfinder came short of re-
ceiving the gratitude which he fairly
earned from his fellows. there can be
no doubt, in the mind of the candid in
vestigator, that to the Jealous Jesuit
missionaries belongs the fame which
the popular notion credits to Fremont,
of being the first white men to force
their way over the mountains and
through the forests of Oregon and plant
the standard of civilization among the
savages of what are now our most
northwesterly states. Men of every
faith and creed must unite in doing
honor to the daring spirits OF the early
Jesuits, who counted their lives as
nothing and the severest sufferings and
privations as gain, for the sake OF car
rying their gospel to the stolid Indian
who had not yet become familiar with
even the face of the white trapper and
trader Even the inception of their
labors in this wilderness has strange
and pathetic history.
Popular tradition has it that few
fugitive Iroquois, who had heard the
gospel story from the missionaries in
their eastern home, repeated it to the
Occur d'Alene Indians. So deeply were
the latter stirred by this strange, new
message that, early in the thirties, they
dispatched little band to undertake
the long journey to st. Louis, and ask
that missionary be sent to instruct
them. The country between their Mon
tana home and ST. Louis was full OF
hostile tribes The tribe waited many
months for the return of its braves.
They did not come. Again the chiefs
dispatched another band. Months came
