SOME SOLID FACTS

The time Of the year has come when you will
want lumber, sash and doors l want to tell you
have the most complete stock and better prices than
you get elsewhere in the city, quality considered
can sell lumber cheaper than anyone because
bought before the raise of this material In sash and
doors can show the finest lines you saw in vi
roqua and l can sell them for less money than they
have been sold for years The reason is this Ibuy
in straight carots and get discount that amounts to
profit. If you in need of any stock come in
and inspect my line will be glad to show you and If
can't you money, sell you better stock than you
can get elsewhere will part the best offriends All
ask of you is to in, see stock then act on
your own judgement Hardwood luniDcr taken in
exchange or for cash. Yours to serve,

panying water rights to G. w.

Harry" Mailer was born in Ger
many and came to the United States
when a lad. He has no relatives in
this part of the country. In the early
days he came to the Pacific coast,
prospected for gold, fought Indians
and in the times of peace farmed
and followed other pursuits. At the
time of his death he had some means.
Mailer since the early sos has
walked with but one leg. During one
of his Indian campaigns, while riding
through a thicket. Mahler's pistol
was knocked from it's holster by
limb and was discharged, the ball
shattering the bone of his right leg
so badly that the member was am
putated at the knee.
During the latter years of his life
Mailer made his home in Pendleton
and was a familiar figure on the
streets. He walked singularly erect
in spite of his years, while his car
riage, grim, smooth-shaven face and
close-cropped white locks betokened
the soldier.

DREDGING THE SNAKE.
The WallOwa Has Much to Contend
With and the Work Is Slow.

Portland, Jan. 6.-Major W. c.
Langfitt and David B. Ogden, of the
corps of United States engineers have
returned from points on the Snake
river, where they made an inspection
of the government improvements
now in progress.
The dredge Wallowa has complet-
ed work at the Log Cabin bar, be-
tween Riparia and Lewiston, and is
employed in clearing out a channel
at Offield's bar in the same vicinity.
The bed of the river is reported to
be made up of cobble stones rang
ing in weight from one to IL
pounds. Consequently the dredge
can make but very slow progress.
She removes in the neighborhood of
$50 cubic yards of material day, but
If she had the same formation to con-
tend with as is in the Willamette
river, 1t is claimed that fully twice
as much showing could be made.
After working this month it is the
intention to take the dredge out of
service for the winter. The Snake
river is unusually low, and last week
the steamers plying in those waters
were unable to operate for a couple
of days, but since the recent rains
they have gone back into commits
sion.

Peo. chief for 2S years of the Una
tillas, is insane, and has been taken
from the reservation and is on his
way to the government hospital at
Canton, S. D. Major ]. ]. McKoin,
superintendent of the Umatilla In
dian reservation, is in charge of the
patient. Peo's ailment is pronounced
by DR.. T. NJ. Henderson, reservation
physician, as alcoholic dementia.
About three years ago while intoxi-
Gated and resisting arrest, it is al
legged that Peo was struck on the head
by a policeman, the blow affecting
his mind.
Amos Pond has practically been
at the head of the Umatillas since
early last summer. Peos mental de-
cline caused his subjects to assemble
and select a new chieftain, and while
Peo still bears the title of chief, his
days of ruling are at an end.
Peo is about 5S years of age. He
was the son CT We-nap-snoot, cele-
brated in the Yakima war of 1856.
Peo succeeded his father upon the
death of the latter in 1876. Peo was
married four times and has two
daughters, Jennie and Mabel, by his
first wife. They are graduates of the
Indian school at Chemawa.
Soon after Peo was elected chief of
the Umatillas he acted as govern
ment scout for the troops sent out
from Fort Walla Walla to punish
renegade Indians known as the
"sheep eaters" These Indians were
so named because of their wanton
acts in destroying flocks of sheep and
numbering herders. Several expedi-
tions had gone against the sheep
eaters" but without avail until Lieut..
E. S. Farrow with five regular
troopers and the Umatillas headed by
Peo started after them and weeded
out the dangerous band.
Peo was known as a natural orator,
and made in all five trips to Wash
ington in the interests of his tribe.
He was at one time considered one
of the shrewdest Indians on the res
ervation, and amassed considerable
wealth. When his mind began to fail
his herds began to wane, until now

WHIPPED HER HUSBAND.
Tah- How-Its, an Undutiful Yakima.
Punished by His Wife.


Tah-how-its went to his home on
the reservation last evening with a
bruised and bleeding nose, that would
be an ornament and pride to Barney
Mullen or Kid Mccoy. He ran
against his wife's fist, on the streets
yesterday evening, and the print of
heavy finger ring will decorate the
aquiline nose of Ta-how-its for sew
eral days to come.
Ta-how-its and his wife are Yakima
Indians, but they are allotted on the
Umatilla reservation. They separated
some time ago, and since have quar-
relied furiously at times. Yesterday
they met on the streets just as the
wife was starting for the reservation,
and she stopped the team for a few
minutes, while she whipped her un-
dutiful husband. She carried a baby
on her back at the time, but did the
job up with neatness and dispatch,
and then left for the reservation hap
PLY as If nothing unpleasant had hap
pened in the Tah-how-its family.
Charles wilkins, for nine years
agent on the Umatilla reservation
says the women can be brave and
arrogant in the city, where the white
mans sympathies are wholly with
her, but when the reservation is
reached the situation changes and
the buck becomes the master at
once, and administers unmerciful
punishment to the squaws at times.
So when Mrs. Tah-how-its reaches
the smoke-begrimed tepee on her al
lotment, she may repay for the broken
and bruised nose she triumphantly
gave her former husband on the
street

Before Land Commissioner Joe H.

of a family. The land in dispute is
situated on the Umatilla Indian res
ervation. Winter & Collier represent

he is one of the poorest of the tribes

At the time of the signing Of the
treaty between the government and
the Indians regarding the taking of
the land in severalty, Peo was one of
the leading spirits to prevent an up
rising.
Until his decline Peo was a fine
specimen of manhood. He stood al
most six feet tall and weighed about
200 pounds.
