great for such short space OF time from one
cause cannot be compared to that caused by
the single earthquake which swallowed 60 GOO

affected make the last eighteen months UNIQUE
as prolonged reign of terror

Oregon Indians Dying Off,.
the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
 "rhe Indian population on the Grand Ronde reservation is yearly growing less. From 500 at the time of the establish ment of the agency, in 1857. to the present a total of 362 tells the story. The births do not offset the deaths. Many of the younger Indians are afflicted with tuber- culosis, but the older ones are healthy" said Dr. Andrew Kershaw, superintend- ent of the agency. tfrs
 Dr. Kershaw says that one, Peter Me Coy, an Umpqua chief. is still alive on the agency. He Is past 90 years of age, and naturally is quite feeble. Chief Peter was one of the last of his tribe to sur- render after the Rogue river war, but he subsequently, joined Gen. Fremont's s California expedition and fought bravely with the Pathfinder in Southern Call fornia against the Mexicans. Mccoy takes great pride in relating his service with Gen. Fremont, and as a veteran of the Mexican war he receives pension of SIP a month.
 ne old Fort Yamhill blockhouse still stands on the east bank Of Agency creek. Here 1t was that Phil Sheridan, then a lieutenant in the regular army. command ed a company of bluecoats armed with ryeagers." The blockhouse was pierced for two field pieces, which, in the early days of the agency occupation, were sup piled with grape and canister, ready for possible Indian insubordination that nev- CT came.

 duplicates will be turned out by him-and American women have adopted the plan with enthusiasm. A favorite material Tor the waistcoats is peau de velours, tho reverse side of calfsltin dressed to vel vet-like suppleness and dyed to match or contrast with the color of the suit 1t ac- companies. The buttons are the dlstlnc- tive feature of the garment. A charming little walstcoat of this type figured in the rousseau of Mrs. William F. Burden, who until recently was Miss Natica Rivers. It is in Wedgewood blue peau de velours and is ornamented with tiny Wedgewood buttons-these in blue porcelain clrcled with wreath of white flowers and with tiny speck of steel In the center. Another imported waisteoat is in the same skin dyed a bronze green and pressed with mottled design over It's entire surface. This has most artistic buttons. They are tiny bulbllke bits of real bronze, designed. cast and colored specially to the order of the owner.

Buffalo Bill In the Motor Saddle.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 A photographer caught Col. William F. Cody Buffalo BilD while he was driving his first automobile at Denver, the other day, and the similarity between that po- sition and his more familiar one in the saddle is remarkable. There is the same straight back, the same slight tilt of the head and the same graceful boise of the arms. Col. Cody seems to have demon strated that a natural position at the motor steering wheel Is possile.

4 YOUNG author from Chicago, Miss A Charlotte Teller, a graduate of the university. and for some time a set clement worker, makes her first appear anee as a novelist in The Cage. which D. Appleton & Co.. publish. The scene is Chicago at the time of the Haymarket riots and the-plot is daringly realistic. In the words of one reviewer "her first book advances her at once to the front rank of American novellsts'
 The happy -go-lucky, commercial trav- eler style of Charles Crewdson, author of "1ales of the Road finds a new vent in book called Building Business" It Is a hard-headed, yet breezy presentation of practical phases of enlarging business.
 Myra Kelly, whose fascinating stores made such immediate success, has writ ten her first novelette,. It is called "The Isle of Dreams," that being the title of a painting by the heroine, who thinks she is succeeding because her lover is uneonsciously buying all her canvases. Of course she is furious when she finds it out but the romance ends happily after many vieissitudes.
 After running serialy in Appletons magazine, where 1t made a deep impress sion as a work of an intensity and real ity that suggest Victor Hugo, Gorkys latest novel, f'Mother," Is now published as a book by D. Appleton X Co. It car ries the same remarkable illustrations by de Ivanowski, that were used in the maga- zine. Gorky's novel was written in Amer lea, and it's lofty tone and stirring hu- manty will doubtless go far toward re- establishing him in American esteem
 
 Two new books to be issued shortly by D. Appleton & Co. are "The Race Question in Canada" by Andre siegfried, a study of the French and English differences of religion and politics; and "A. Twice Crowned Queen" by the Countess de la Warr, the picturesque story of Anne of Brittany, who manfred two successive kings of France.
 The usual spring book from the pen of Robert W. Chambers is "rhe Tree of Heaven. It deals in the peculiarly fas- cinating manner of the author of The Fighting Chance" with the breezy men and fetching women of today. It has a large element of fanciful occultism, and takes it's name from the so-called tree of heaven which is woven into oriental prayer rugs.
 An interesting novelty is the publication of Hall Gaines new story Drink In paper at 10 cents copy. It was issued in London at sixpence and has sold 9O0,0O copies. In America D. Appleton X Co. are the publishers. Drink" is power- full and dramatic story dealing with hypnotism as a cure for the liquor habit.
