An interesting event occurrea on
board the steamer Dalles City last Fri
day. On that day a number of Indians
went through from The Dalles, includ-
ing squaw with baby. At Fishers
landing Mrs. D. P. Thompson went on
board en- route for Portland. Seeing the
Indian woman with her papoose, Mrs.
Thompson obtained permission from the
mother to name the baby, and she
named him Benjamin Harrison. After
the ceremony Mrs. Thompson's atten-
ton was attracted to the necklace of
beads and coins worn by the Indian
mother, and the discovery was made
that she had five Harrison medals, of
the campaign of 1910, when the elder
Harrison was elected to the presidency
Mrs. Thompson purchased two of the
medals and will keep them as souvenirs
of the christening.
