generally celebrated. In the pro-
gress of the accompanying cere-
mony the new city was to be
christened. Chief Lawyer took it
upon himself to stand as godfather:
and the name he selected was an.
propriate but not euphoneous.
The Indian suggested Merri
wether Lewis, in honor of the first
white man to visit the scene of the
future city, This name of coulse
did not meet with appreciation from
the less practical and more literary
white men present. The officer in
command of a company of soldiers
present suggested Lewistown.
This infringement was accepted by
Lawyer and I.ewistown was the
name chosen on October 5, 1861,
for the present pretty little city.
Just how the transformation to
Lewiston occurred is perhaps one
Of the unaccountabies. This much
may be said, however, our city
was given its name by Chief
Lawyer of the Nez Perces. He
not only FAMED the city but he
gave the site in the dearest spot Of
all the great domain of his tribe.
The grant of the townsite Of
Lewiston to the whitemen by Chief
Lawyer will be appreciated as a
generous offering when it is un-
derstood that the rivers and the
bars on which stood the Indian
village were sacred to the aborigi-
mes. One of the most powerful ex-
amples of impassioned eloquence
ever heard was speech by Big
Thunder NeZ Perce chief delivered
before the treaty commission a
year after Lewiston was establish
ee. He pleaded with the white
men to leave the Lewiston valley
the bars of the Snake and especially
the rivers 20 his people. He said
they could not live without the
rivers and their valley homes
The rivers. he said, brought fish
from the sea and fuel from the
mountains; the rivers and the val
legs gave food, fire, sunshine and
life, while death awaited their
Punishment.

readily grasped the situation. On

The old settlers all remember an
o,d fort on the high bank OF the
,;,er near the Harrington saw
,,,l, site. This structure was we'll
observed until the white men be-
non the cultivation Of the soil in
.hs earlv COS The fort was cir
cp,,ar in outline and was subdivided
into five compartments. The par
ttious were quarter circles opening
into a center court by narrow pas
saqes. The main entarnce to the
frt was by way of cut in the
b;ph river bank which led from the
waters to a point we'll inside the
walls. The rampant and the par.
titions were built of earth and were
about six feet high. This fort
was the first structure built by
white man in the Lewiston valley.
Until 1862 the Indians held ali
Of Lewiston valley and the Snake
river for many miles by treaty
right. They particularly claimed
the rivers and their fishes aud this
pretty valley with its perpetual
grasses. The white man began to
run over the Clearwater basin in
1861 and the Nez Perces wildly
protested. The white men travelled
through the country however and
early established stations Oh the
lands of the Indians. Especially
is this true of the Spring ranch
and the Caldwell place on Lapwai.
These particular acts of tresspass
while they brought out protests
from the Indians were not resented.
But when the first steamboat came
putting up the Snake and sought
to land on Indian territory. the
point between Snake and Clear
water, the natives protested earn
estly and refused permission to
land the cargo or even wharfage.
Old Chief Lawyer stood upon
treaty rights and ordered the cap
tain of the first boat that ever
landed in the forks of the rivers to
move on; and alter council ii
was wisely decided to move to the
north side of the Clearwater and
lie up near the Silcott ferry land

aUOut the convention which in 1857 con-
summated the work of the war, he was
made its president. AS such he took
minor part in its public discussions and
deliberations. His name scarcely ap-
pears in the debates, which covered a
period of about ten weeks and probably
involved as stormy clash of theories,
convictions and prejudices, presented on
both sides with mastery skill of dialen-
tics, as ever shook a great public body.
Evidence has been accommodating for the
last 100 years-for even the important
facts of history are frequently unreveaI-
ed till long after the actual events-that
the president of that convention was the
power behind the throne; that he guided
and nodded its results in fashion vastly
more vital than his formal duties as
chairman. When discussion came to
deadlock in more than one instance, it
was Washington s influence and logic in
private that effected either compromise
or submission. 1t was his magic voice
that placated state jealousies, his sug-
gestive forethought that frequently Of
fered new points of view to be made
public by the great mouthpieces of the
convention to the final quenching of all
opposition.
What that convention achieved need
not he discussed. What fruit it ripened
is known of all, peerless and priceless
like the golden apples of the garden of
the Hesperides, the western paradise of
Hellenic fable in the remote seas of the
sunset. The part played by Washington
was for the most part hidden from the
world at the time. He never asserted
any claims; probably, indeed, he looked
On himself as the most insignificant fac
tor in the convention. Of all the worlds
greatest men he was the most modest
But the conviction has enforced itself
more and more thar of all the makers Of
the American constitution no one con-
tributed more ably to its results than
Washington the statesman, who thus
supplemented the work of Washington

occasion. his farewell address RAINS
among the greatest of American state
papers, but its eloquence is that of deep
sincerity and earnestnesS, the passion of
homespun sagacity fused to incandes-
cence. 1t is not even in the wisdom of
his two administrations as president,
though he had then to grapple with so
many untried problems with but little
light from experience to guide him, that
we must seek the test. 1t is to the great
part he played in making the constitu
ton of the United States, part so big
that scarcely any ones role could match
its value, that we must look for his true
gauge as statesman.
Perhaps no one in the country had
such experimental knowledge of the old
system under which we fought Great
Britain TO standstill. The ties of con-
federation expressed in the powers given
to the continental congress were mere
ropes of sand. Congress had no power
of enforcing its own laws. Every move
ment was suspiciously watched by all
the little commonwealth, which were
jealous of each others and still more
Jealous Of the so called central power.
There was no working fiscal system, and
the machinery of raising money broke
down at the slightest strain. Business
between the confederated colonies was
made stagnant by the fact that contracts
were not mutually valid. Army opera
tions were hampered by utter weakness
at the heart of power, and Washington
was assailed by never ending intrigues,
which threatened his power and rank
and embroiled the officers whose loyalty
TO his plans was of the utmost impor-
tanCe. So great were the embarrasSments
growing cut Of that Creaking and ram
shackle engine of administration known
as the continental congress- that the
wonder of cur victory over Great Britain
Is greatly enhanced. One is inclined to
suspect that bad not cur mother country
who had essayed to play stepmother-
been greatly hampeTed on her side by
foreign hostile interests. the American
chanticleer would not have had occasion
to CROW so Justify in 1888.
Washington had begun to agitate in
favor of a reconstruction Of federal ties
before the war was half ended. His
correspondence with Mason, Madison,
Randolph and jefferson Of Virginia.
with Hancock and the two Adamses of
Massachusetts,, with Jay and Clinton Of
New York, with Ellsworth, Sherman
and Trumbull of Connecticut and with
Benjamin Franklin showed the depth
and reach of his knowledge Of govern
mental principles. And the letters of
these great men to him proved how
much they respected the statesmanlike

Mrs. Henry Younghans, of Detroit, Mich,
who resides at 1908 Grand River Avenue,
said: Ever since our last little one came
was an invalid. For years | have had the
most painful experience and would have to
lie down most of the time. After the last
baby was born / was unable to attend to my
homework. | could hardly stand up and
had dizzy spells. | wanted to sleep all the
time and was treated by several of the best
physicians. / would have the most fearful
cramp, for which hot applications were used.
l used these hot applications until l blist-
cred myself severely.
-"Before our child was born had been a
strong, healthy woman and was scarcely ever
sick After he was born | grew weak and
thin, and received scarcely any help from
the medicine left by the doctors They said
l was not properly cared for and that the
baby was too strong for me. Ny back seemed
to be breaking and | was scarcely ever with
out a severe headache. Could not tell you
how many different prescriptions have taken,
but every doctor had different plan of treat
ing my case. | wore supports and laid for
weeks with my limbs elevated, hut without
avail. One day my husband suggested that
l try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
as he had read several articles in the paper
about women who had been helped by them.

be an invalid, but said | would try them
after l had taken the bottle of medicine
was then using.
