having returned on the steamer Danube.
MIR. Hegner is one of the many Seattle
men who have made success OF life in
the Yukon gold fields When he struck
Fortymile creek the Klondike was unds-
covered, and little was known OF Birch
creek and the other diggings in the vicin-
ity Of Circle City.
Mr.. Hegner entered the mining business
as a side issue. devoting most Of his time
to brewing steam beer and conducting a
bakery. Miners paid him well for his
products, both In the edible and LIQUID
line. month before the Klondike was
found he removed to Circle City, where
he remained last winter. dispensing the
product OF his brewery to good advantage.
He was on the Alice when she made her
first trip to Dawson last June, and imme-
distely began opening up for business.
EXtravag CANT prices were paid for all kinds
of drinks and for food. With the gold
that poured into his place he purchased
an interest In No. q. Eldorado creek, and
has claim on Dominion creek which he
located before the stampede last August
He has claim left at Circle City and
other interests OF which he viii say little
Mr.. Hegner said yesterday that the
mines OF the Klondike viii produce az
least $40 coo 000 this winter. I'm spite of the
food shortage He expects to receive s50,-

1.-The prospects on Dominion creek are
fully as good as those originally found on
Bonanza" he said last night. Il do not
think for a minute that all the gold OF the
Klondike is confined to Eldorsdo and Bo-

vicinity will be found extremely rich.
New discoveries are bound 10 be made in
the future. The country is not pros

Mr.. Hegner was asked II he thought
there would be a famine in Dawson this

would be shortage. and the severity of
the distress would be regulated entirely
by the number that viii be able 10 ges

DECEMBER 4, 1897
THE REAL QUESTION.

Whether or not Marcus Whitman
shall go to history as the savior of
Oregon, Is not, after all, momentous
question. The sources from which
all weighty events flow are more or
less wrapped in uncertainty, and that
only half century should pass since
Whitman did what his friends claim
for him, and that the truth should be
lost in shade, is not remarkable In
view of the fact that oral testimony
of matters long in the past is alwaJ S
of uncertain value. 1t will probably
never be known just what niche IN
the hall of history Whitman should
occupy. Whether he, like Washing
ton, ehould be called the father of a
country, or whether he shall be
classed a nervous enthusiast who
made needless journey across a
frozen continent, will, we say, never
be determined. His friends will say
one thing; his enemies claim another,
and those who study the matter dis
passionately, with view to learning
the truth, will be perplexed by the
conflicting evidence presented, and
leave the matter as one incapable of
solution.
But what matters it now just What
results followed from Whitman's un-
selfish endeavor? The truer test of
a mans character is to judge him by
his intentions rather than by the re-
suits which follow his actions. If
Whitman left his home In the beau
tiful Walla Walla valley, bade fare
well to his loving wife, and braved
the perils of that lonely ride acros-
the plains and mountains of a frozen
coun tEy; if he did this thinking he
was serving his country as patriot
should, then his name should be
written in the list of the nations
heroes and his fame cherished as we
would precious heirloom.
Whitman thought Oregon was in
danger. That was enough for him.
His was a mind that took but little
while for decision, and his deeds, no
matter whether they were essential to
the salvation of Oregon or not, are
worthy of the adulation of successive
generations. Whitman IS type of
man that all can honor. Happy the
day and age that can recognize his
merit. Let his name be remembered
as one who would willingly give all
for his country, and nay his real
monu ment, which Is the Christian
college established in his name, grow
in greatness and usefulness till the
work which Whitman mapped out
be completed.

take few of them at their word and
give them what they seem to want.

great conflict, the Hawaiian islands
would be of immense benefit as a
naval station, yet it must not be for
gotten that after this government has
spent much money in arranging a
depot of supplies at the islands, it
would be an easy matter for for
eign nation to swoop down and cap
ture them unless we kept such a mil
itary and naval force there as would
cripple US in other quarters. The
suggestion, too, is good one that
the United States has troubles enough
at home without. seeking any compli-
cations abroad. That Hawaii would
be a great gamer by annexation IS
undoubted, but we should not be-
come too philanthropic in this sordid
age and give away more than we get.

est delicacy of touch, lneading the muscles.
 After being forced against the part to be treated, the water in returning to the pump is made to pass along the surface of the patients body, creating q current which strikes directly across the path of the jets which are in play, and slightly defects them. In this manner the action of kneading is still further made to resemble the action of soft human hands.
 This water massage has been found of great benefit in cases of chronic rheumatism, as it not only kneads and pounds in the usual massage manner, but thoroughly cleanses the pores of the skin at the same time. It is also recommended as of the greatest possi- ble benefit in reducing the soreness of the swelled and stiff joints and bruised bodies of athletes and football players.
 At a recent experiment. in 8 New York hospital, the limb of patient was treated for IS minutes in a machine holding only 12 gallons of warm water. Eighteen jets were delivered upon the limb at the rate of 100 gallons minute, with an indicated pressure behind the nozzle of 20 pounds per square inch. 1t was calculated that during the opera tion 100 gallons, or S33 pounds of water had been pumped to height of A feet. In other words, 36,632 pounds of water had been raised one foot in height. By careful computation, it was figured that the massage instrument had done the work of six men, with the least in- convenience to the patient. During the f5 minutes of treatment it was ealeu- lated that no less than six tons of water were passed over the limb, with a fric- tional or kneading power unattainable by human hands.
 Hydraulic massage finds especial favor with women, on account of the gentle kneading, which produces bet ter results than the hand treatment, and also because it is free from most of the drawbacks incident to the hand massage system. If the patient wishes to undergo treatment of the entire body, all that is necessary is to enter the receptacle provided, while the wa ter is operated from another room.

ately after death, was folded and bent so as to fit into box about 30 inches in length; and these rude collins were placed on scaffolds built high up on the trunk of the tall hemloek or cedar selected for the purpose.
 The marks in this inscription would seem to indicate these landing places, while the branches on the left side, springing apparently from the upper end of the tree, were retained to sup port banners and sustain the deceased warriors weapons and trappings. Sometimes the bones of several h. dians were placed in the same box; and judging from the number of marks rep resenting the outline of the scaffold. there must have been a dozen or more collins containing mortal remains de- posted in the tree representing this instance. Probably the tree was fin ally destroyed by fire or wind. and it's precious burden disappeared with it. Then, to perpetuate Inc memory of those whose remains were thus obliter- ated, the head of the tribe caused this memorial to be made on the rock.

scription is identical in age and char acter with one he saw on Sproat's lake, and that it is probably the work of an extinct race of Indians known to have inhabited the Great Central lake district century and half ago.
 The various tribes of the West coast now attribute all rock carving to their deity Quotiath, but they cannot even guess at their meaning As matter of fact, all the lakes of the interior of the island-Buttle's lake, Moss lake, Ice lake, Balloon lake and several others were repeatedly visited by Indians at the times when they lasted and prayed in the wilderness, until they sincerely believed that spirits appeared to them. It is known that several tribes of the Pacific coast left records of such events on rocks, either painted or carved. The traditions of the Indians of Vancouver island often refer to rev. elations made at these lakes, particu~ larly those above Nimpkeesh river; and it is known that one clan of the Nimp- keesh in early times had their villages very far up the river.
 MT. Joseph w, Mackay, of the Indian department, who has lived in Victoria B. C., for 50 years, and who has studied the Indian character and customs more carefully than anyone on the island, offers an explanation which is of great interest. After closely studying the photograph of the inscription, he sug- gests that it may represent tree, which probably at one time stood on the spot where the marks were found and had been used for some Indian fam fly as the repository of the remains of the dead. By turning the right end of the picture from one it can be readily perceived that the marks rudely reps resent the form of tree stripped of all but the lower branches and small one at the upper end, and having the top Topped off These Indians show great regard for deceased relatives and great reverence for the dead in gen eral They believe that the souls of the departed haunt the localities in which their bodies are sepulchred, and that, if angered by the desecration of their remains, they might work great mis- chief. So the Indians deposited the remains of the departed where they were least likely to be disturbed sometimes on high scaffold at the crest of promontory, sometimes in a canoe on bare, rocky islet. In other cases detached tree, with all but the lower krarches removed and the top cut of. was used. The body, immedi-
