There is also q scrap Of unwritten his
tory concerning the plans OF thai willy
old chief, Kamiaken. He had decided
upon war, and his plan was first to cap.
ture the Cascades, then leaving sufficient
force TO hold that place, come IN the
river and attack The Dalles, compelling
all the Indians to join him. And there
ls no doubt in my mind that, with few
exceptions, all the tribes would have
joined his standard. From The Dalles
the movement was to continue east
ward until the entire country east of the
Cascades was clear of whites. The cam.
paign was well planned but poorly exc
cuted. All that saved the Cascades,
however, was very fortunate accident,
one Of those happenings which seems to
to be the direct work Of Providence. A
large body OF United States troops was
on its way to the eastern part the terri

as to the intentions Of the troops.
