AN OLD BATTLE-GROUND.
suot In the Far Northwest Where
Indian Tribes Met and Fought
to the Death.

Where the great steel bridge of the
Northern Pacific railway spans the
Columbia river, half way between
Spokane and Seattle, Wash, and near
the confluence of the Snake and Colum-
bia rivers, says the Washington Star.
there was fought, 60 years ago. a battle
to the death between two Indian tribes,
probably the Cayuses and the Wallah-
wallahs or the Clahclellahs, which lat
ter tribe was a reckless and thieving
one.
The railway company has recently
completed a great irrigating ditch Is
miles long and 20 feet wide that is turn
ing this valley adjacent to the west bank
of the Columbia from sage brush plain
into what a few years hence will be an
orchard and garden spot 20 miles square,
with climate peculiarly adapted, it il
said, to raising all sorts Of vegetables
berries. peaches, apples, plums. cherries
and Alfalfa. In the tearing up process
an old Indian battle-ground has been
found on the same spot where Lewis
and Clark, the pioneer explorers, pitched
their camp and from which they pushed
their way up stream to the mouth of
the Yakima river in the year 1905.
This is all historic ground, as at a
later date Grant and Sheridan and other
army officers were stationed in this vi
cinity-Grant in 1928, Sheridan in
1866, both of them taking part in re-
pelling Indian uprisings. In this old
battle-ground. and first by means Of
well, there were unearthed recently
skeletons, flint-lock rifles. Indian heads,
brass badges. bearing date of 1916,
broken hatchets, spear heads, elks'
teeth and piece of cloth or mating
spun from threads Of weeds or hemp.
Everything went to show that this part
of the Kennewick valley was at one and
the same time an old Indian battle and
burying ground, as it is now known that
the Indians congregated here in great
numbers on account Of the mild climate,
especially during the winter months,
when the inclement weather of the high
er attitudes drove them into more hos.

discussion growing out of that confusion
AS to what Jesus mission really was,
and is. Some will try to maintain that
1t was to show men how to live, other
some will argue that He came to do
good; that He was reformer and came
to establish new social and religious
conditions; and still others will seek
to show that His mission was peculiarly
Jewish, and ended when He was re-
jected and killed by the nation whose
Messiah and King He had come to be.
And this confusion arises from unduly
emphasizing the side of Jesus life which
seems to sustain the views held, just as
the inspiration and purpose of the art
list might be missed in studying his
painting. If one feature or another were
allowed to occupy the vision. But that
Jesus came to be something else than q
pattern after which men could shape
man wrongs, or benefactor and phil
anthropist, whose effort was to heal the
sick, raise the dead, make the blind see
and spread happiness and sunshine
wherever He went, is Enthusiastically evil
dent from the declarations of the Word
of God and of Jesus Himself. Jesus
plainly said: Il came not to call the
righteous, but sinners, to repentance"
God sent the Son into the world that
the world should be saved through Him."
and the words Of our text, Christ Je-
sus came into the world to save Sinners"
is the whole Gospel story boiled down,
and expresses the supreme thought of
God in sending Jesus into the world and
the supreme purpose and mission Of
Jesus in coming. e.ts

DUE TO WEATHER FLUkE.
Yachtsmen Agree That Mishap Is Re.
 sponslbIe for Shamrocks Defeat.

Weymouth, Eng, April 12.-There Is an agreement of opinion that the defeat of the challenger by the Shamrock I on time allowance yesterday was entirely due to weather f1uke and gives no rea- son for reducing the handicap. The same conditions, therefore, will probably govern tomorrows race unless the wealth CT Is light, when the time allowance to the former challenger may be increased.
 Colonel Neill, a leading Clyde amateur yachtsman. who was aboard the Sham rock I, said to the Associated Press cor respondent today:
 "The challenger made an absolute ex- hibition of us on the first round. A wealth CT fluke gave us the race. I am convinced that there Is no weather nor any point of sailing in which the Shamrock I can hold the challenger"
 Designer Fife arrived here today to see tomorrow's racing. He declined to be drawn out as to his opinion whether yes- terday's performance was good enough for him. He replied that he would rather see the challenger win by half an hour, but 1t could easily be seen from his genial and pleasant manner that he was well satisfied with the course of events.

THIRD WEEK OF
 THE GREAT STRIKE
BOTH SIDES HOLDING FIRMLY TO THE STAND TAKEN IN MARCH. BIG UNION LABOR PARADE COMES TODAY.

Lowell, Mass, April 12.-The beginning of the third week of the great textile strike in Lowell finds both sides holding firmly to the stand taken in March. The operatives assert with much confidence that in the end they will win the 10 per cent asked for, while the agents still re- ply that present conditions make impos- sible an increase of wages. As regards the opening of the mills it is believed that the agents will make no move in this direction until the state board of arbitra- tion submits it's report on the inquiry which is now in progress.
 Tomorrows programme includes among its features parade in which twelve thousand operatives representing all the textile unions in Lowell will appear
 Letters have been received from Presi- dent Gompers of the American Fedora tion of Labor, and President John Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers to the effect that they are unable to come to Lowell to assist in the demonstration.
 President Mitchell says that his en- agreements will not permit him to come here for at least three months

Censorship Rules Revised.

Vienna, April 12.-Premier Koeber has issued an important circular to the pro vincai governors revising the rules regu- lating the censorship of plays which nave been particularly unchanged since 1850. One of the most interesting provisions in the circular is the creation of censorship councils to which condemned plays must be referred. These councils will consist of three members, government official, a legal official and an independent mem Der. The latter must be one especially acquainted with dramatic affairs. such as a dramatist, critic or a literary man. As the majority in the councils will be government officials there Is little dan ger of any play distasteful to the au- diences receiving approval. The censors are forbidden to revise or alter plays They may only suggest alterations to the authorities.
