Origion of The Word MultnOmah.

The meaning Of the word Multno-
nah as is the case Nth many other
Indian nan es is largely enveloped in
mystery. tlom TT best information
obtainable. however, the word, as
now spelled, is {, rruption of a word
that Indian Iingusts spell in this
wise-"Nen n'lr mag" and signitied
"down river. lie name was origin
ally applied to the river flowing
through Portland from the falls at
Oregon City to its junction with the
Columbia, the term Willamette refer
ring to the river above the falls to
its sources.
The home Ct the MultnOmah Indi-
ans embraced the region north of the
ClackamHs river extending to the Co
lumbia east to the Cascade mountains,
and west to the summit of the hills
westward of Portland. So far as
known there is not single member
of the Multnomah tribe Of Indians
now licirg.
A good many years ago the writer
secured photograph of an Indian
who is believed to have been the
II Iast Of the Multnomahs," " an en-
craving # whom accompanies this
brief sketch. His name was John,
but iu time he came to be known as
UOld John, =" d his "illahee," or
country was about ten miles east of
Portland on what is now known as
Columbia Slough" He died in
1893, and is believed to have been
fully 100 years old, and perhaps lit
tie over.
He remembered Lewis and Clark,
and their party, and always claimed
that they gave him little iron skillet
which is now in the custody of the
Historical Society. He was always a
friend Of the whites in the early days
aud manifested this friendship in no
uncertain way when the Indian war
Of 1856 occurred. When the Indians
we're driven away from Columbia
Slough he refused to go, saying he
would rather stay with the white peo-
pie.
He made his home on the Wilkes
place, an adjoining farm, until few
years before his death when he was
taken to the county poor farm. He
hoed potatoes at 80 cents a day and
tanned hides for living until he be.
came too old to work.
"Old John" was always welcome
visitor at the home Of the early pion'
eers, and he was well versed in the
legends and folk. lore of his tribe. II
is matter of great regret at this time
that some one could not have beer
interested forty oil fifty years ago il
securing from him everything ht
could relate regarding the tradition
Of his people.
1t is fitting since this was not done
that the name Multnomah should b,
perpetusted in so many ways, and il
no way more significantly thai
through its adoption by the favorit,
athletic club of this beautiful city.

Sees SAMPLES AND
WANTS MORE PEARS

Fred Detz, who went East last
spring to superintend the con struction
Of large normal school building at
Mayville, s. D., writes as follows
about the receipt Of some Hood River
apples and pears, sent to him by Mr..
Schall, his son-in-law:
"Mr. Schall sent me box of Hood
River pears and few Gravenstein ap-
pies. The pears we're beauties--not
only beauties, but delicious as well.
| distributed quite a number to some
of my old friends here and in every
case they caused exclamatons of sur
prise at the size and beauty.
express charges on the box were
90. SO. Notwithstanding this exorbi-
tant charge, Colonel Robinson, upon
receiving three of them, sent an order
at once to Hood River for supply
for his own use.
IL enclose clippings in regard to
the fruit from both of our local pa
pers. You will notice Brother Stew
art mentions only one pear. | after
wards took several in small basket
intending to leave them at his resi-
dence. l mistook the house and
learned afterward that l left them at
DR.. Dupois. Well, it was lone" on
the editor, but they "done the work"
just the same.
81 learned today from a gentleman
just from Fargo that according to his
estimate over 80 per cent Of the wheat
along the track is still uncut and will
undoubtedly be total loss. This was
occasioned by the extremely wet sea-
son. Just think of riding in train
through our immense wheat fields in
the night time and watch the moon
sail along in the wheat fields as 1t was
reflected In the water.
81 suppose before this reaches you
you will have met Judge Ames of this
place, as he and Mrs. Ames left here
about two weeks ago intending to visit
Hood River before they return here.
81 am getting terribly homesick for
Hood River, but from present condi-
tions, don't see how | can get away
much before Thanksgiving, and per-
haps even Christmas.
The following is clipping from the
Mayville Tribune, under the caption,
"Tasted Like More:
Fred Deitz, superintendent of con
struction of the new addition to the
Normal school building, was distrib-
uting basketful of samples of few
of the fruits raised on the fruit farm
of his son-in- law, Mr.. Schall at Hood
River, Oregon, last SatuIday-pears
and apples-and favored the Tribune
with four of the pears. They were
fine pears, Of a beautiful color and
taste to match. A couple of them
weighed very close to pound. Mr.
Deitz is an enthusiastic Oregonian
now, though he still has warm place
in his heart for his former home,
North Dakota"

the superintendent, "the Hazelwood

Ware & Leland,s Market Letter.

There was break, recovery, ana
another break today, all showing that the
market has not changed and seems to be
on the way to lower level
The break in July carried the market
to 7.f2 here and to about &c in New Or
leans before o'clock.
rhest are the lowest prices since Janu-
arv and seem to indicate change In
cotton situation as compared with the
market for three months past
we were convinced of this when july
broke through there would be more than
a rally.
There is too much cotton for sale IN
the south and too little buying for specu-
lation investment or anything else. I'm
til the market has a different look about
it and there are new factors to induce
buying we do not feel like working on
the buying side.
With so much cotton in the south and
reports showing failure on the part
of planters TO reduce acreage 1t would
be hard to bull cotton until something
turns up that is not now in sight.
While there is some reduction reports
fail to show a cut In acreage large
enough to give people confidence
II planters will not cut down acreage
they are likely to get tired OF holding
cotton and sell.
