age, which would fix his birthday close
to the time of the Lewis and Clark ex-
pedition. During my early bOyhood

being the only white boy in the valley,
the Indians made a good deal of me
and taught me to speak their language,
which could do quite fiuently. Many

to old Slibender's camp and listened To
his wonderful legends and traditions.
Among many, very many, was the
noted one of the Bridge of the Gods"

used to paddle his canoe through this
wonderful arch, the greatest natural
bridge on the face of the earth, and of
his uninterrupted canoe trips to sea
and return. and how Mount Hood and
Mount st. Helens became angry at each
other, and after a great deal Of prelim-

sisting of J. Wesley Ladd, Harry Cor
fett, ]. X. Kollock, Morton Insley and
John Carson lett the Firs at $50 Sat.
urday morning in sleigh, riding as far
as the foot Of China hill-eight miles this
side of Cloud Cap Inn. There they put on
snow shoes, and accompanied by Peter
Felthousen and William Edick, who
acted as guides, they started on the
long climb. Harry Corbett took the
lead and broke trail the entire dista nee.
The party started at ii a. m on the
snow shoes and arrived at the Inn at
6 80 p. M; cooked supper, and after q
good nights rest and good break
fast all were ready to start on the re-
turn at 9:30 a. m. The run down was
made in three hours, when they met
the sleigh and they were given the ride
of their lives into Hood River. Mrs.
Ladd, Mrs. Kollock and Mrs. Insley
we're at the frs snxiously awaiting
their return. At7:30 p. m. sleigh bells
were heard, and the party arrived safe
and sound-no bones broken-not even
stiff after a most enjoyable outing.
The party returned to Portland Mon
day afternoon, each carrying snow shoes
and alpenstocks, proud that they had
made success of their snow-shoe trip
to Cloud Cap Inn. The men report
much snow, about 80 feet around the
Inn and nothing but the roofs OF the
cottages being visible. Many interest
ing photographs were taken.

by the people of Crapper district. In
spite of the inclement weather good

jests aud laughter. The ladies hope
the men will take the hint and do the

Last Of the Hood River Indians.

Old John Slibender, the last of the
original Hood River Indians, and a
staunch friend of the early settlers in
their battle with the Red Skins, is dead.
The old fellow had seen almost a hun
dred summers, and appeared good for
another century of this life. But cruel
fate would not have it so. The old
man was struck by passenger train as
he walked on the track at The Dalles,
Wednesday of last week. He lived but
a few minutes after the accident.
Captain H. G. Coe kindly furnished
the Glacier the following account of the
life of old John Slibender, now gone to
his happy hunting grounds:

But here we must stop. We have
lived again in dear old lndiana's bor-
ders, have praised her men and bOasted
of her works, but without selfish
thought. We must confess that she
has no scenery to compare with that of
Oregon, no river to compare with the
Columbia, no hills to compare with
the Cascades. Her history is made,
practically, her works are established,
her cities are well nigh full. In Oregon
We see signs of coming history, we hear
the distant call Of states prominence,
we here breathe the clear pure air of
unlimited space. So, though we cher

our present home as acceptable, profit
able and pleasurable to us in all de-
grees. Though unacquainted there
were we, still the more are we drawn
t'gether here by the bond of common
hirthland. Aud reminded of Whittier
again, we are tempted to paraphrase:
Blessings on thee grown-up man.
HOosieT boy, with cheek Of tan;
With thy turned-up pantaloOns,
And thy merry whistled tunes.
With thy kind hesrt, kinder still,
Raising strawberries on the hill.
Let the manufacturer ride;

Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye
Mountainous sunshine. a fruitful land

John Slibender was a true friend of
the whites. All through the Indian
wars of 1856, he was unwaveringly our
friend, upright, truthful and honest, a
man one could trust if his skin was
dark. A few years ago he was convert
ed to the Christian religion and became
a member of the Indian branch of the
Shaker church that is spreading so
wonderfully throughout the tribes in
Eastern Oregon and Washington. He
was an earnest, enthusiastic worker in
his new-found hopes. Vale, good old
John! And for your sake and mine,
may your belief in happy, reverend
ing future be fully realized. H. G. Coz.
