LA GkANDE, Ore, Oct. 29-Colonel
B. F. Shaw and George H. Hines of
Portland. Bert Huffman, editor of the
East Oregonian, and Major Lee Moor
house of Pendleton went out in The val
ley yesterday morning to locate the
spot where the battle of Grande Ronde
the whites and the Indians.
Colonel Shaw, now veteran of 80
years, commanded the volunteers in
that engagement and he feels positive
battle without difficulty. The contour
of the hills, the distance from the river
and from the point where the river
enters the valley are all to him a vivid
picture. Colonel Shaw was in this VAL
ley the first time in 1874. and this was
22 years before the historic battle His
familiarity with this country is I'M
questioned and he is one of the few
men now surviving who can speak
with accuracy on this subject. In spite
of his 80 years he stands erect, alert
and he has come all the way from
Portland to locate the scene of the bat
tie in the interests of the Oregon His
torical society. Mr.. Hines who ac-
companies him, is secretary of the So
ciety Major Moorehouse is eX-Indian
agent and a connOiseur in Indian pOr-
traits. while Mr.. Huffman, the artist
who has written many interesting
sketches of Indian life, history anu
tradition.
The battle of the Grande Ronde was
the finale of a two years warfare with
the Yakimas and allied tribes The In
dams from all directions had gathered
in this valley to hol a consultation
and to lay plans for a desperate on
slaught against the whites in the Co
lumbia valley. Nez Perez John, scout
and friend of the whites, learned of
the matter and told Colonel Shaw.
With $50 volunteers in his command,
the colonel left Fort Walla Walla and,
by forced marches, came over the Blue
Is they camped near the place where
Summerville is now located. They
proceeded along the foothills until they
were near the Indian camp, which was
somewhere about two miles northeast
of La Grande. A portion of Colonel
Shaw's force remained secreted behind
a bend in the foothills and Nez Perez
John was sen. out to confer with the
Indians The whole force, about $50
strong, took after the Indian scout
with cries that he was traitor and
should be killed. The volunteers then
came out in full force and the peace

We're driven back across the Grande
Ronde river and they then dispersed
in all directions, the main body fleeing
eastward toward the Cove. In the en-

soldiers were killed.

the end of the Yakima war.

The registration has reached a total
of $4,000, which is nearly 10000 in eX-
cess of the normal vote in city cleo
tons. The predictions being made by
political leaders as to the result of the
election vary according to the political
feelings of those making them. Repub-
lican politicians are sanguine that the
big registration augurs that republi-
cans hitherto out of line with their
party locally, who did not vote at all,
are back in line and ready to vote.
They point to the fact that the biggest
increase in registration has been in
the heavy republican wards.
Mayor Johnson and his assistants
however, are equally sanguine that
the Increased interest in municipal
affairs as shown by the big registration
is due to his position on the question
of lower streetcar fares.

BIG FIRE ON ALBION PRAIRIE.

During the electrical storm Monday
evening lightning struck the barn OF
George Sherwood, setting it on fire and
consuming the barn and nearly all its
contents. The barn was one of the larg-
est and finest on Albion Prairie and was
built three years ago. 1t was circular
in shape, 81 feet across, stone basement
with wall feet high by 2 feet inches
thick. At the time the barn was struck
there were three men in the barn doing
chores and one of them. hired man
who was milking cow was knocked in
sensible and had to be carried out and
the cow he was milking was instantly
killed. The blaze started about half
past six and in less than an hour and a
half the splendid structure was in total
ruins Seventeen cows, five horses and
buggy were about all that was saved,
and three COWS and a span Of five hun
dred dollar horses persisted in the flames.
There was large amount of grain, hay
and straw, together with tools and i'm
plements that will make the loss to Mr..
Sherwood run into the thousands.
White Sox Game a Winner.
The famous White Sox have come and
gone. Edgerton covered itself with
honor upon the ball field again and to-
day she shines with all her old-time
prestine glory as the leading bail town
of Wisconsin. While We lost yet the
honors of the game are ours. The
GODDESS of Fortune smiled on Billy Sui
livan and his premier outfit Of ball tossers
and if luck had broken even the game
would have been ours in walk. Our
boys knocked Adonis Altrock out of the
box and that is going some. Our third
sacker, Perine, played rings around the
Sox and made their star players look
like bush leaguers. Theobald can
pitch in any company and Smith is a
finished catcher. 'Howdy" Cossiboine,
the man with the iron wing made the
s'ar li+, Of he day by throwing Billy
.,rii,vsn from deep right field. But for
two unfortunate errors by our short stop
we would have won. The game was
closely played and very interesting from
start to finish, the day was fine and a
crowd of fourteen hundred people thor,
oughly enjoyed it. The local fans pre-
sented Sullivan with q beautiful silver
.candelabrum and he responded with a
two Dagger to center.
The proceeds of the game were little
over six hundred dollars, and after all
expenses are paid there will be a small
balance. This will go to the Driving
Park association to be used in improving
the grounds.
Following is the score by innings:
White SOx..........0 1 | l 6 *-5

the other carriages of that time were
that on its common wooden wheels il
had a set of hard rubber tires, the

its own power which was transmitted
from electric batteries in the inclosed

1t did not move very swiftly, very
surely, or very comfortably, but IL did
move and was "a horseless carriage"
It could hardly be called an automo-
bile. Except that one other man had
experimental slightly with vehicles

queer carriage Of Sturges' was the au-
tomobile industry of American, at the
time America was showing what prog
ress it had made since Columbia found

Thirteen years later, in 1906, the cost

experimenting on at the same time
could not have cost more than $500
more. So the increase in the annual
