AS the train approached d crossing
the engineer lifted a tin horn from the

Our engineers can't blow their horns

You have made your steam do so

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and If permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to folJoW. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleeplcss and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles;
make your head ache and back ACHE cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have

The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmer's

the hostiles' strength had been re.

ers, and the wounded horses, unable
to respond to the bugle call, neighed
pitifully from where they had gone
down in the charge.
The wounded were being looked
after and their misery eased where
that seemed possible, when Donald
Mckay took the floor, and, in stentor-
ian tones And Snake dialect, told the
hostiles they had better cease firing
and surrender; otherwise the soldiers
would kill the last one Of them.
A defiant answer came rolling back,
and just then an Indian woman hold
ing up baby rushed toward the SOL
diers, saying she would surrender to
save her child. = shot followed from
the gulch she had left, and her own
husband became her murderer. He
was stalking out to secure the baby
when bullet from McKay's carbine
ended his career. This baby boy was
afterward raised by a pioneer cattle
man named Altnow, and became the
most expert vaquero on the great Pine
Creek Range.
After a twenty-minute parley the
hostiles were given their choice OF
determination or surrender, and final.

into camp, what was left of them,
thirty warriors with guns, while as
many more lay dead and dying around

Of youth, laid low on that Thanksgiv-

cruel war waged in the winning OF
the West.
A sorry-looking camp 1t was, but
there was meat in 1t, for the Indians
had killed and dried most of Henry
Heppner's mules, and they had several
sacks Of dried crickets and cowse and
camas, and little -four stolen at An
telope. And this was all they had to
offer the guests who had intruded on
them.
But where Indians can live, soldiers
can exist, and the late Thanksgiving
breakfast was nearly over when
"Gobble! Gobble! Goblet"
Those were the words which came
from the adjoining sage brush, and
quickly Capt Waters had surrounded
the sound and brought in big gobbler
that the Indians had staked out. One
of his tail feathers, painted white,
caused him to be recognized as for

FRONTIER THANKSGIVING
Only One Gobbler for Forty Hungry Troopers to
Make Feast Of

at Camp Watson. Such news always
brought that stirring call.
Thanksgiving thoughts we're laid
aside; they would have to keep for
another year. Capt. Boutelles troop
ers were quickly mounted. Their
trailer was Donald Mckay, whose
grandfather was John Jacob Astor's
partner, and his grandmother prin-
cess of Concomly's Chinook tribe.
Away went the troopers just as the
westering sun went behind cloud
which broadened and blackened and
soon began to patter down in rapid
raindrops.
1t was to be swift pursuit and a
sudden striking of the enemy, and SO
every trooper travelled light, except as
to ammunition, which was $50 rounds
to the man. And big 50-ealiber cart
rides they were in those days.
Not a superhuous ounce was car
ried on the horses; there was no pack
train, no impediments; merely few
hardtacks stuck into saddle pockets
comprised the commissary; the enc
my had food-capture 1t.
1t was dark when the troopers
stumbled onto the trail. And how 1t
rained! Every man was soaking wet.
Every rock was afoat The prance
had evaporated from the horses, and
they stuck close to the trail, tails
tucked under. All night they stuck
to it, and covered many miles.
A good trailer was Donald Mckay,
and the footballs of his trained cayuse
told him in the dark the kind of
tracks he was stepping in. Where a
small party of the hostiles had
branched off to the northwest Donald
knew their number and guessed their
object.
Silently the pursuit continued. Day
light could not be much further away
than over the next divide. Suddenly
in the darkness just ahead, what was
that? The yelp Of coyote? If SO,
it would soon be followed by chorus.
No, 1t was the bark of the coyotes
close cousin, an Indian dog.
Soon 1t was followed by another
bark, and bang! A bullet tipped past
the troopers
Then came the defiant war whoop,
telling that the Indians had put none
but Americans on guard that night,
and that the warriors were stirring
and ready to meet the United States,
the great nation with whom they were
at war
Quickly the troopers accommodated
them. There we're volleys from both
sides, dashing cavalry charge
through the camp, reassembling by
bugle call on the other side, and
another rush through.
It was blind business in the dark,
but the Indians gave shot for shot as
they scattered around in the sage
brush and posted themselves in ra-
vines.
AS daylight came, the troopers
closed in on the camp, and what
warriors remained In 1t died defiant.
The camp was medley Of willow
pole wickiups and alternating wind
breaks shaped like the modern hats
worn by women. When the soldiers
got full possession they rather ignored
the scattering shots that came from
the ravines. for they would rather hive
the bees that we're left than XIII them.
And they knew that the bulk Of the
women and pappooses had escaped 70

A little girl being required to write
an essay of $50 words about a bicycle,

The india-rubber bumpers of the
modern railroad coach have erased
the American frontier. But it existed
only few years ago on Oregon's
eastern edge. There the American
soldier, which economical Congresses
doled out in such homeopathic guam
titles, opened up the trails and made
1t possible for settlers and hand cars
to occupy the right Of way. Wild
country there is there still, from the
mythical Malheur to the outstretching
Ochoco, but interspersed are modern
towns, whose electric glare has scared

Boots and saddles!"
What stirring strains were those
bugle notes as they echoed and re-
echoed up the canons and through
the tall tamaracks at Camp Watson,
a typical frontier post whose barrack
buildings we're of solid logs, located
in the part of the beautiful Blue noun
tains where the hostile Snake Indians
ranged and disputed with CORY hand
the advances of the white man.
The little garrison at Camp Watson
had had hard work all the, fall hunt
ing hostiles far and away even to the
Owyhee, and now looked forward
with keen appreciation to Thanksgiv-
ing day, which the next sun-up would
bring, and the frontier feasting 1t
would bring with 1t.
ut will be to all the boys at least
a taste of home and mother" said
Major w. V. Rinehart, post command
er, as he instructed Lieutenant Tom
Hand to tighten labor and give his
men all possible liberty.
So the company game hunters had
been out on the nearby ridges and
brought In dozens of big, fat grouse,
three deer and an elk, and the COM
pany cooks had given 1t out that they
would try their hands on mince pies
provided some commissary fire-water
were rustled up for favoring.
Everything looked promising for q
fine feast.
But the two hunters who had
brought In the elk also brought the
news that half mile away they had
found the fresh tracks of an Indian
pony. and the telltale sign showed
that his rider had been spying about
Camp Watson. The tracks, two miles
away, Joined the trail Of large party
which had headed southwest. In the
trail were the familiar footprints OF
many mules.
Then dashed into camp young Fred
Wilmarth, whose tough cayuse had
brought him from Fort Dalles, more
than hundred miles away, with the
news that the hostile Snakes had raid
ed down the John Day and captured
horses at the Maupin and Clarno
ranches, and burned Jim Clarke's
house.
Those wild Indians were making
history, for that spot is now marked

had been very successful, for at Mud
