tity could not be hauled to supply the grates. This condition was overcome by painting the sandstone with a coat of white lead. Each year this has been repeated, until there is layer more than a quarter of an inch in thick ness on the walls.
 Last year, instead of putting on an other coat of white lead, a chemical preparation was used to cleanse the walls. This caused the paint to crack and in many places peel off, making the building unsightly.
 The painters are now engaged in scraping of the century's accumula- tion of white lead. When this is done the building will receive several coats of fresb paint The work will require several months.

plucky effort to prevent the disease from spelling his diplomatic career has won the keen sympathy of Wash ington people.
 The baron hurried across the water as soon as congress adjourned last spring and subjected himself to a heroic course of treatment at health resorts. From these places he went to the German Spas for the help they could give him. Reports that have reached this country, however, are to the effect that he has no more than held his own. The disagreement con tinues. His friends here, then, felt no little apprehension when they saw a notice that Baron and Baroness Speck von Sternburg had been com handed to take breakfast with the kaiser. Sure enough within day or two after the ambassador was the guest of his ruler a German paper which frequently has the right tip on court affairs published a report that Sternburg would be recalled. This was denied very mildly, indeed, by officials of the German foreign of fee. They stated that there was no intention ts recall Sternburg ''at present" or words to that effect.

There were no stoves or other heating apparatus ex. cept the large grates in the executive residence then, and the roads were so muddy that wood in sufficient Quan.

TRAGIC FATE BLICHTS LIFE OF AMBASSADOR

TT is the irony of fate that at the ! height of his career, with no blemish on his reputation, and through no fault of his own, Baron Speck von Sternburg. should German ambassador should stand upon the brink of diplomatic and social oblivion. But such is the tragic fact. A cancerous growth, ter ribly disfiguring the ambassadors face, has apparently ruined beyond repair a career full of promise and the social prospects of his beautiful American wife, and it is understood here that Germany will send another ambassador some time within the next six months
 The baron caught this infection of the face, the nature of which physi- clans do not seem to understand clearly, during his service for the kaiser in India and within the last year it has developed in the hideous fashion peculiar to such attacks, spreading we'll over one side of his face. He has. however, made brave fight from the start appealing to the foremost medical authorities of this country and Europe for aid, and his

CONTROVERSY OVER THE FAIRBANKS BIRTHPLACE

Much was made of picture in the book representing the house in which MT. Fairbanks was born. As the house was burned a few years after his birth and no picture had been taken of 1t, Mfr. Fairbanks at the request of Mir. Smith (my father) made rough pencil sketch from memory which was dressed up for publication" This, MT. Smith says, is all the connection MT. Fairbanks had with the picture.
 In the autobiography MT. Smith says MT. Fairbanks was four years of age when tho cabin was burned, and Indianians are pointing to the asser- tion that MT. Fairbanks can sketch with accuracy building that was de- stroyed when he was four years old as demonstration of his wonderful memory.

auditor, who also received $10,000 each, have resigned. The former will probably be succeeded by Mai Hodges of the engineering corps of the army, whose army pay will be increased to 5000.
 It is said the president expects criticisms of the canal administration Democrats and from representatives of that element in his own party which is not in sympathy with his policies generally. AS rigid economy is the surest way to avoid just criti- cism, he has instructed Secretary Taft to cut expenses to the bone, while at the same time seeing to it that the dirt is kept flying.
 Secretary Taft has forwarded to the president reports showing that, ex- elusive of $50,000,000 originally paid to the French company for all it's rights in the property, there had actually been spent up to last March only about $34,OO0,00O out of a total appropriation of $145,0OO,O0O The total sum appropriated for actual con- struction is little over s74,000,000. Thus the commission has available for purposes of construction about $40,000,000 with which to operate un- til congress authorizes the eXpendi- lures for the next fiscal year, begin ming July l. 1908.

CHIEF BLACK KETTLE NOW A FARMER

One of the most noted survivors
of the memorable battle of the WASH
ita, in Oklahoma, is Chief Black Ket-
tie, who is now living in a tepee on
the north bank OF the Canadian river
in Blaine county, Oklahoma, where he
has been allotted a quarter section OF
land, in common with the rest of his
tribe.
Chief Black Kettle is now about so
years old, but looks more like a man
of 45. He still clings to the belief
that the hated paleface" is an enemy
OF the Indian, and says the Great
White Father in Washington" is try
ing to rob and murder his people.
In 1868 considerable III feeling was
aroused among the Indians of Okla
homa because the government wished
to establish military posts in the
west. The redskins" were opposed
to It, and threatened trouble. Gen.
eral George Custer was then coming
into prominence as one OF the most
successful Indian campaigners then in
the service, and he was ordered, with
several troops of the Seventh cavalry,
to Fort Supply. at that time the only
fort in what is now Oklahoma terri
tory, and the base of supplies for all
the western country.
Chief Black Kettle of the Cheyennes
and Left Hand of the Arapahoes were
the leaders in the uprising, and when
they learned that the government
forces had been sent to queIl the re-
bellion they attempted to pring the
Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches into
the fight. Had they succeeded, II
would have been the most powerful
Indian uprising ever known. But the
latter tribes had no quarrel with the
government and they flatly refused to
join with the Arapahoes and Chey-
ennes.
Finally these two powerful chiefs
with large number of their bravest
warriors, started on the warpath, and
simultaneously General Custer, who
was then stationed at Fort Camp
Supply. was sent across the country to
head off Chief Black Kettle and hi:
men. They met on the Washita river
in a sharp bend and in a lbsavy grove
of timber. In a fierce fight lasting
several hours Black Kettles band was
nearly annihilated, only three or foui
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-28

escaping General Custer lost several
good men, among them Captain Ham
ilton and Major Joe Elliott, two ex-
cellent young officers.
In the battle Chief Black Kettle
proved no mean adversary. and 1t was
he who, with band Of his warriors,
cut off and killed the band Of whites
under the command of Major Elliott.
This, however, practically closed In
dian warfare in Oklahoma. Soon af-
ter this battle the Darlington agency
and Forts Reno and Sill were built,
and large numbers OF troops stationed
at the different places.
At the time of the battle Chief
Black Kettle was young man, but
he. was accounted one or the most
daring and cool-headed warriors
among the tribes who made war
against the government troops. He
afterwards led strong force into the
Black Hills country in Dakota and as
they passed through Kansas n three
days battle was fought on the head
waters of Sand creek, about 40 miles
southwest of Fort Dodge.
