served him regular creole dinner,

the cost of which was $25 a plate.
The combined efforts of the best
cooks of New Orleans, each fur

national fame, produced a menu

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 25.-
Back to the land OF the setting sun,
where the spirit of the good god
Ta-Mahn-A-Wis watches in kindly
pride when their tribe numbered as
the trees on the hills, are coming
the last of the Captain Jacks band
of Modoc Indians.
Nearly 40 years ago a gpoup OF
the young bucks of the Modoc
tribe, their minds poisoned with the
fire water" of the whites, and
hearts inflamed at the imagined
wrongs of their race, swept down
in a general massacre planned of
all the Caucasians that crossed
their path. Then there was the
Modoc war in the Klamath lava
beds, where General Candy and 1872
of his command were killed.
Two hundred and seventy-one
young bucks were captured and ex-
lied to the Quapa reservation in the
Indian Territory. These 271 have
dwindled to a bare 40, a sad com
mentary on the newer civilization
in which they were thrust.
This rapid decrease seems to be
the result of mental anxiety caused
by their enforced separation from
