Great Chief Joseph.

In the war which followed. Joseph
led his little band, as only great gen.
eral could lead them. but; the Neg
Perces never had chance to WIN.
Joseph surrendered to General Miles.
and for years the tribe was moved back
and forth over the country regardless
of promises made when they sur
rendered. After one Of Josephs visits
to Washington, where he met the Pres
ident. the Cabinet oficers. and num-
erous Congressman, he remarked:
They all say they are my friends. and
that I shall have Justice. but while
their mouths all talk right, l do not
understand why nothing is done for
my people. I have heard talk and
talk. but nothing is done. Words do
not pay for my dead people. They do
not pay for my country overrun by
white men. 1t makes my heart sick
when l remember all the good words
and all the broken promises. You might
as well expect the river to run back

free should be contented, when penned
up and denied liberty, to go where he
pleases.
Pathetic Plea for Freedom.
"Oh let me be free man! free to
| travel, free to stop, free to work. free
| to trade where chose, free to choose
my own teachers, free to follow the
religion Of my fathers, free to think
and talk and act for myself-and I will
obey every law or submit to the pen
atty"
Gradually as the years passed away.
Joseph grew to understand the hope

ceased to make his plea for justice
When the end came a year ago. he waf
surrounded by the remnant of his band
who stood beside his deathbed In silent
grief.
On the goth Of September last, thess
same devoted members OF the tribe
stood around the grave OF Joseph and
listened to the funeral address deliv
cred by his successor and friend. On
this occasion a monument was unveiled

Remarkable Enect Of Vibrations.

From time to time scientists advance
new theories Of the cause Of some OF
the miracles mentioned in the Bible,
and now the miraculous fall OF the
walls Of Jericho Is said by men of
learning to have been caused By the
fact that the tone pitch Of the trum.
phets Of the followers of Joshua was
exactly in harmony with the sensitive
tone OF the walls. When the trum.
pets were blown they set the walls
Of the biblical town to vibrating and
IN a short time their foundations were

It was in this valley that the grand.
father Of Chief Joseph welcomed the
daring explorers, Lewis and Clark.
Speaking of them, Joseph said: They
talked straight, and our people made
them a great feast. All the Neg Perces
made friends with Lewis and Clark,
and agreed to let them pass through
the country, and never to make war on
white men. And this promise the Nee
Perces have never broken. No white
man can accuse them of bad faith, and
speak with a straight tongue. 1t has
always been the pride Of the Nez Perces
that they were the friends Of the white

fever broke out, settlers came at irst
in small numbers, and the valley being
large, all lived in peace. But 1t could
not last. There came a day when by
means Of presents and fair promises

of the Nez Perces country, including
the Wallowa Valley. The latter was
the particular property OF Joseph's own
people: its boundaries, for years. had
been marked by poles: had never been
disputed. The old chief said: Inside

ness ami Of the deadly wrong suffered
at the hands OF the white man: In
its smothered five and In Its hopeful
longing for the coming Of justice and
better times for the tribe. 1t was the
most powerful and pathetic appeal ever
made by an Indian.
From the viewpoint OF close asso'
citation with the red man. his faults
are magnified and his virtues forgot

Of Cooper and other romantic writer's
on Indian topics, his vices are obscured,
and his virtues unduly exaggerated.
Judged from the impartial standpoint
of a rather long acquaintance, which
contains meetings in camp and city,
in the writer's opinion, Chief Joseph
was the finest type Of the red man
this country will ever know.
He. died of inconsistencies, and that
statement will provoke no sceptical
smile from one who knows the Indian
character. The earth that contains
the ashes Of an Indians dead is sacred
and hallowed. The longing in an In.

PRINCE WHO LIKES HORSES.
Brother of Heir to German Crown a
Rough Rider.

Eitel Frederick. prince OF Prussia.
and younger brother of the crown
prince of Germany, is considered one
of the finest horsemen of Europe. The
German people idve him greatly for
this, along with his kindness to his
animals, a quality sometimes wanting
when great daring is possessed by
boys.
When the prince was sixteen he was
given the freedom of the royal stables
and told that he could select one of
the fine Arabian ponies for his own
use. He asked If he could look after
him Just as boys in lesser stations in
life do with their ponies, and his
fathers reply was:
II want my boys to know how to
work and care for everything that
belongs to Them
Eitel did care for his pony and spent
many moments learning all abont the
needs and nature of horses. He. dis
covered that his Arabian could jump
and, riding him one dav. he cleared a
fsur-barred fence, which greatly de-
lighted the emperor, who was. riding
with him.
A short time after this his father
gave him a powerful hunting horse.

but would not ride him for three or
four days.
"A horse needs to know you," he
gravely said, before he makes up his
mind whether you will be kind and
reasonable with him, or harsh"
After boy and horse had become ac'
euainted he invited his father to take
a ride in his company. The two set
out for gallop through the forests.
Emperor William is regarded as a
splendid horseman. but he told a circle
Of friends after this ride, that Eitel
had given him ride for his life. He
leaped bitches and hedges, took the
toughest roads, held his horse under
perfect control and won the greatest
praise.
1t is told OF this boy that he cannot
go into the royal stables without every
horse in the stalls turning his head
and whinnying glad welcome.

Cant0lOuDe Celebration

On Friday evening of last week the Fl Centro Cantaloupe Growers Asso- citation celebrated the opening of their new packing house with an ice cream festival and dancing party that brought together one of the largest crowds of people that ever assembled in the Im- perial Valley The building was ele- gantly lighted with electric lights, the dancing floor was all that could be de- sired, there was an abundance of ice cream and cake for everyone. the mu- sic which was furnished by the Mexi- can band was excellent and everyone enj wed themselves to the utmost. There were large numbers of people from Hotville. Brawley and Imperial besides the residents of Fl Centro and vicinity and from the Valley generally. The party was success in every way and the people all expressed high ap- preciatlon of this testimonial of Mir. Lyon of his good will toward them. Great credit is due Mir. Latson for the thoroughness and excellence of the ar engagements and to the floor managers for their success In accommodating so many dancers. There was at least six hundred people attended the cele- bration. The weather was pleasant and everyone enjoyed themselves.

CD. ComnanY Election

From the Los Angeles Times.
 Directors were elected by the Cali fornia Development Company at a meeting yesterday afternoon resulting in mo change of management. Epes Randolph, presidend of the company, R. IT. Ingram and Willard J. Doran, representing the Southern Pacific in- terests E. A Meserve, R M. Gleeson, MT. Russell the latter of Imperial and Charles N. King of Jersey City, the lat ter as resident director, were elected.
 On June 19, at meeting of the board of directors officers will be elected and it is stated on good authority that the reelection of the present officers, with Epes Randolph as president, will follow.
 Although the litigation with former President Heber has been settled out of court, the suit of the company against the Chaffeys will be up for trial in the Supreme Court on June 15.
 The directors of the company were ex- ceedingy pleased yesterday at the prog ress of the work along the Colorado riv- CT a at the intakes of the canal for stopping the flood into the Imperial Val ley. Mir. Doran stated that while the water at Calexico was higher than ever before, being three feet above the town, there was no danger, on account Of the dykes which the company las erected to prevent New river breaking it's bounds.
 One encouraging sign was that the river was continually "cutting back" in this process, deepening its channel and lowering the water. The company was assisting the river in this work by the use of dynamite, blasting out the hard places when in danger of damming the river bed.
 The great wooden gate designed for the bypass on the lower canal, where the flood has broken bounds, is com pleted, but will not be placed in posi- tion until the lowering of the water in the Colorado river, which will be about September 18th.
 Meanwhile the work on the reinforced concrete headgate for the upper canal, being constructed by Contractor Carl Leonardo, is progressing rapidly. This gate will be built down to bedrock and will be completed in about thirty days.
 The barge for the new clam-shell dredger is now being constructed at Yu- ma and should be completed by the time the dredger arrives at the upper intake in six weeks. From the Americ- an intake the canal will be dredged so deep that the entire head of the Cobra Go river can be turned through the con crete headgate.
