THE STORY OF
THE
CHOWWOOP NAEPWEE
OR
PIPE OF PEACE
BY ALBERT GARDNER TINGMAN

Down in Black canyon, leading from
Pleasant valley to the open desert, between
| Eagle mountain and the Pinto range, in
Riverside county, is a small fiat. In the
| middle of this fiat is large rock, on the
top of which is small monument of
quartz. The rock itself is covered with
| curious hierogly phics. On small fiat on
the side of the canyon, about half mile
away. is an Indian burying ground, COW
cred with bones and skulls.
| have often camped by tank near the
big rock when hunting with the Indians,
and when on such excursions have heard
many legends about the Black canyon.
In the years past this canyon was the
Thermopylae between the two great
tribes of the Countrywide Chimehueva on
the east and the Cahuilla on the west and
south. Many stories were told OF hot and
bloody fights. in which numerous brave
warriors bit the dust and many scalp
were carried home in triumph. 1t issres
lated that once, on the eve of q great bat
tie light appeared on the top of this
great boulder, also beautiful young In
dian girl, who commanded the braves to
assemble around the rock. She told them
of al the great battles, and how first one
side had been victorious, and then the
other side had had the best of it. and
that it was now time they should maze
peace. She then lighted pipe and
handed it to the chief on the east, and
then to the chief on the west. Each chief
smoked and were ever after great friends.
The smoke from the pipe was very great
and it circled around the great rock. and
when it had disappeared the beautiful
| young Indian maid had also gone. and
no one had seen her go. Meanutch Wuz-
roump is what .bey call this rock. The
chiefs of the two tribes met ut this rock
every year or so until recently and smoked
the pipe the young girl had left and
made certain marks on the rock. The
| Indians OF the present time will not go
near it at night, and even by day will
| take circuitous route to avoid passing

That evening smoked the Choowoop
in the presence of several OF the Chime
hueva Indians we had cutting wood for
us, and told them where gou it. They
seemed sullen and downcast and soon left
for their wickiups below the mill in the
canyon. The next morning there was
not redskin to be found. But they sent
me word that they would never come into
the canyon so long as | smoked Choowoop

evening laid the pipe away and fell
back on my old corncob, and slept as
we'll as ever.
Every one coming to the camp and see

to see the effect it would cause; but on
two OCCASIONS the fun came near turning

Cost Of Living in Europe's Capitals

An investi CATION into the comparat tive
cost of living at the various European
capitals resulted in the following inter

articles of food are lowest; at Madrid
they are dearer than at any other capital,
and such things rs bread, meat, sugar
and coal are very expensive. At ST.
Petersburg also the price of bread is so
high that white bread is still considered
a luxury above the means of the working

I'm 1859, when the first attempt was made
to form German society. Los Angeles
was a Struggling little place. and in their
widest dreams the citizens never stretched
it to its present magnificent proportions.
1t was not until 1871, twelve years later,
that Turnverein GermanIa came into ex-
lstence as the result of the consolidation
OF two German societies which were at
that time struggling for an existence.
The first society started was the Teu-
tonia, in 1859. and its principal object,
aside from its social features and the
bringing together of the few members to
the German colony. was the cultivation
of singing. 1t did not have a very har-
monious career. and it was not very long
before some of the members seeded and
formed a new society which they named
the Eintracht. One Of the traditions OF
this offshoot is that it was involved in
financial embarrassment by the purchase

In China fresh eggs are not very much
esteemed, but when an egg becomes thirty
or forty years old it is considered great
delicacy. and at 100 it isa dish fit for a

eggs and it takes about thirty days to
render picked egg fit to eat. Some of
the old eggs have become as black as

dishes for invalds is made up of eggs
which are preserved in jars OF red clay

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 15.-Gov-
ernor Clarke yesterday furnished fresh
evidence of his determination to pre-
vent the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight at
Hot Springs in Arkansas. A telegram
was sent by the governor to BrigadieI
General George P. Taylor, of Forest
City, of the Arkansas state guard,
summonjng him to a conference at
once. The meaning of this conference
is that the governor desires to acquaint
himself with the available strength OF
the state militia so that he may act
knowingly if the situation at Hot
Springs reaches a crisis where the
services of the militia may be required.
According to the offers contained in
kilograms and letters received at the
executive office, Governor Clarke esti-
mates that the services of 10, 0UO men
are at his disposal for the purpose of
putting down the fight Il needed.
These offers come from ali parts of the
state.
a vigorous determination to prevent
the fight is plainly dlscernible in the
significant proceedings at the eXecu-
tive office. Indeed, Governor Clarke
wa3 more emphatic than ever in say
ing that the fight would not be al
loved to come off in Arkansas. He
goes so far as to say that il the affair
occurs as advertised at Hot Springs he
would resign and try to find an office
he could run. The governor says Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons have been
warned, and if they now arrive at Hot
Springs, bent on the mission of fight
ing, their presence in that city or
county will be construed as an overt
act and treated accordingly.
Furthermore the governor says he
is in earnest in this matter and will do
everything within the scope of his
power to prevent the big mill. He
says that he realizes that Hot Springs
Is anxious to retrieve its past misfOr-
tunes and he would like to help the
city, but in this instance his duty is
plain and he will use his utmost dill
igence and power to do what it is his
duty to do. He wOald dislike to put
the state to the expense of transport
ing several thousand of the state
troops to Hot Springs, and he hopes
the principals and their hackers in the
proposed fight, together with all
parties concerned or interested, Will
not impose the necessity of ordering
the militia to the scene. in order
to stop the fight. Concluding his in
terview Governor Clarke said he did
not want to see any blood shed as a re-
suit of the pugilists' refusal to refrain
from making preparations to fight
He sincerely hoped that it would be
avoided. I am neither seeking nor
sighting any responsibility in this
matter" he continued, land will do
my duty
When questioned in reference to the
proposition to change the affair into a
glove contest Governor Clarke said
that he could make no distinction be-
tween a glove contest and prize
fght-a pr re fight was prize fight,
no matter by what name called.
