LOST COYOTE

AOO Il W. " IL
The following little story with a
local coloring was written by Ger
trude Huffman of the class of 1911
in Pendleton high school, for The
lIlakawinn. the high school magazine,
for December:
It was Christmas eve, 1875, that
Jack Long. freighter with his three
large blue covered wagons and l2
mules, vas driving speedily along
over the rough roads in the Blue
mountains. -.
He was returning home from Ida
no. where he had taken a load Of
freight. three months ago, and was
very glad to reach home on Christ
mas eve and spend Christpas with
his family who lived on Birch creek
a few miles from Pendleton.
The cold brisk north wind whistled
through the pine trees and snow
flakes fluttered through the air. AS
the driver whstled a merry tune and
lashed up the mules he heard a faint
noise a few yards ahead of him. He
drew rein and listened-what could
It be? 1t sounded like the cry OF
some wild animal, then again came
the cry Of a child.
He drove down the road and stop
ped again; this time he was sure it
was the cry of a child, so he dropped
the reins and plunged into the snow.
After walking a short distance from
the roadside, to his surprise he saw
something dark sitting beneath a pine
tree, nearly buried in the snow.
As he came closer to 1t he saw two
little arms reach out to him, and
stopped to pick it up. 1t was a little
five-year-old Indian boy who had
been lost by his tribe while crossing
the mountains.
The poor little boy was almost
frozen to death and Jack Long took
from his wagon a large roll of bed
ding and after wrapping the little
fellow up snug and warm between the
heavy blankets, he put him in the
wagon and started for home. 1t was
dark when he drove up ir front Of
his log cabin, where the lights q the
candles shone bright from the vim
dows and his little children ran mer-
rily about waiting for his return.
He took from the wagon a large
box of presents and toys he had
bought for them and with the box
and the roll of bedding he entered
the cabin.
How Merry they all We're. The
children laughed and shouted for JOY
as the father opened the box of pres
ents, but they paid no attention to
the roll of bedding he threw down by
the door.
While the children played with
their toys in the front of the great
fireplace and the mother went about
singing the merry Christmas carols
she had learned many years ago, the
father was quietly untying the roll
OF bedding.
At last he unrolled it and out came
tumbling and jumping the little In
dian boy and sat in front of the fire
place He sat winking, blinking and
rubbing his eyes and looked bewild,
cred, while the little girls and boys
looked as surprised as the little new
conner.
1t didn't take very long for then
to get acquainted. and oh! what &
merry Christmas it was. This was the
first Christmas the Indian boy re-
membered.
The children decided to- name hin
Lost Coyote, because he was so sh!
and timid. He remained in the fam
lily many years and grew TO be a maj
with Jack Longs children. He wa
given an allotment on the reservation
and went to live upon it with hi
tribesmen.

MIsREPREsENTs OREGON.

The Portland Telegram Of Decem-
Der % and the Oregonian Of De-
cember 26 published an alleged
news item dated at Pendleton and
telling Of a "horrible battle" in the
ouiet little neighborhood near No
lin.
Both Of the stories were almost
entirely fabrlcatlons and wholly mis-
represent the character Of the peo-
Die and their manner Of conducting
their neighborhood parties.
That a fist fight occurred is true
but that men fought for an hour ike
demons tore each others flesh un-
I'll their shirts were bloody and af-
terward went into the farmhouse
and danced with their spurs on, Is
not true.
Eastern Oregon does not contain
community that would tolerate such
actions in any farm house, and es-
pecially is Nolin free from homes
which would tolerate such things.
In a frantic effort to get 'exclu-
sive news" both the Telegram and
Oregonian have greatly wronged the
good people OF Umatilla county and
sent broadcast a harmful story
which will create a most unfavorable
impression among strangers and for
which there was but slight founda-

Newspapers are great educators,
but the quality of the education is
determined largely by the nature of
the reader to analyze and compre-
hend II.
The tendency of the press is to
print what the public demands.
hence an improved public taste would
enable newspapers to give less atten-
ton to the sensational and more at
tention to the weightier matters and
those things that lift to a higher
plane of citizenship. We, therefore,
commend this subject to the intelli-
gent consideration of parents and
eachers.--School and Home.

Christmas eve, 32 years later, 190-,
an Indian and, his squaw drove out
Of Pendleton with their wagon full
Of presents. They were going to their
home on the reservation to spend
Christmas.
By the roadside stood a little cabin
and through the window they saw a
poor old gray-haired lady sitting lone
ly by the fireside.
The Indian stopped by the gale, and
taking the box of presents from The
wagon, walked quietly into the cabin
and gave her the presents, with a
kindly greeting.
He opened the box OF presents and
the old lady arose to thank him. On
her face was a faint smile, but in
her eyes were tears, for she was
thinking of that merry Christmas 80
years ago.
And now Mrs. Long lived all alone
her husband and children were dead
and the Indian who gave her the
presents, warm blankets, clothing and
plenty Of food, was the little Indian
boy she had raised and taken care
of and she loved him because he
made her think Of her own dear boys
This year was very prosperous for
him, his wheat crop was fine and he
had sold many horses.
Every Christmas as he drives from
town to his little home on the reser-
walton, he never fails to stop at the
cabin and leave presents for the kind
hearted lady who raised him and
taught him the meaning of the white
mans Christmas.

THE FEE ADMINISTRATION.

It will, perhaps, be many a year
in the city of Pendleton before as
many public Improvements, in pro-
portion to population and wealth,
are crowded into two years, as have
been completed during the two years
in which Judge James A. Fee has
been mayor of the city.
The street paving, alone, is tri-
umph enough for one mans career,
to say nothing of improved moral
conditions. levee improvements, bond
issues for sewer extension, city hall,
street improvements in the residence
districts and other vital forward
movements witnessed in the past two
years.
While very, very much of the hon.
or for starting and completing many
Of these improvements belongs to
Judge Fee, yet he has been associat-
ed with a city council made up oi
practical business men to whom be-
long a share of that honor and pub
lie gratitude.
That the same animated spirit OF
progress, the same practical policies
the same aggressive and fearles:
dealing with vice and immortality ano
crime, the same vigorous forward
movement will be witnessed in th'
administration of Mayor E. j. Muir
ply. who assumes the reins Of cit!
government on the first of the year

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.

Bert Huffman, editor of the East
Oregonian, furnishes an interesting
article this month under the above
heading. This subject is worthy of
the most careful consideration OF
parents and educators, If children
could be taught how to read a news
paper. that is, to note that part most
worthy of their attention, and 10
omit that part least worthy, public
taste in newspaper reading would
improve rapidly

A QUEER CONVEYANCE.

The queerest mode of travel I saw
n all Mexico was that adopted by a
woman who was on her way to the
doctor, seated complacently in a
chair borne upon the back Of a man.
Some Mexican women are afraid OF
even the mule cars, while they look
upon the rapidly spinning trolley with
such trembling of knees they can not
be persuaded to put foot upon IT,
Unable to pay coach hire they employ
the human carrier at few cents for

sleepy he might be during the day Or
how much sleep he might have lost,

very hard to waken, but he had to be
