Umatilla Indians made their camps in these meadows
for the WINTER for the chief that natural fodder
was there for their stock.
The climate was warm and none of the SHOWS that
held well into the spring time in those days were notice
able in that meadow section.

essaIy for him to cultivate the good will Of the Indians
and he did so in the manner which made for him
friendship that has lasted until this day. He bought
OF them, paid in coin and traded literally. In all the
friction that these fighting warriors Of that time had

with him were exempt and were permitted to go their

those who seeking to make homes in this land of
promise, is that it has direct contguity with compet

Allen Line Steamer with Five Hun
dred Passengers Works Through
Drift Without Accident.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., May 21.-The Allen
line steamer Monaghan early today freed
itself from the ice pack off the entrance
to st. Johns harbor, in which 1t had been
imprisoned for two lays.
The Monaghan, after releasing itself from
the ice pack, did not make any attempt
to enter ST. Johns harbor, Ice conditions
making such a course apparently i'm
practicable. The steamer worked off shore
and at 8 a. m. was making slow progress
through the heavy drift ice. II was be-
lieved on shore that the steamer was pro-
ceeding towards Bay Neulls. eighteen miles
south OF st. Johns. where there was a
possibility OF 1t making a harbor,
heavy easterly swell which set in
last night broke up the ice pack and en-
abled the Monaghan to shake herself free.
All night there was constant commotion
in the great fields, the big bergs twisting
and turning, while the pressure on the
steamer was greater than ever before.
The weather today continued favorable,
the wind holding light north with a cloudy
sky.
In shipping circles the release Of the
Monaghan is looked upon as particularly
fortunate as the conditions last night
were threatening and an easterly gale
would have seriously injured the vessel.

TF the latest thing in corset styles be
 practicable, the day of the fat woman ' has, indeed, come. No longer will she be compelled to patiently bear that un- comfortable feeling of being observed by ell because of her obesity. Nor need she suffer martyrdom any longer in tight stays and armor-plats.
 The corsetiere has met the enemy-and conquered. Obesity lies prostrate fin the dust woman now may, indeed, be as old as she looks, and her looks are sub ject to her own sweet will.
 And all this because someone has in- vented a rubber corset.
 A Comfortable Garment.
 It Is not a straight-3acket model, either. that binds and grips and pinches. but firm, substantial. comfortable kind of stay. It was invented especially for stout women, and many are already in the seventh heaven of feminine delight over its advent.
 When not in use the corset seems but fimsy, graceless piece of habby rubber, that might be anything from 6 rubber blanket to large bathing cap. But when placed in position on the body ft is a graceful, comfortable support that gives perfect freedom of movement More than that, it is said to be a champion flesh reducer,. working all the time and ai- ways on the 1ob. q. .t Ct
 It Is made very long over the hips and back, with the fronts shortened little. suspenders attached to the front of the corset. through brass eyelets, keep the abdomen down. These suspenders are doubiy re-enforced to prevent their break ing through the rubber. c
 Of course, there are bones fn the cor. set. They are exceedingly strong and, being made of genuine whalebone. are very pliable. The rubber corset comes in two different models. For princess or
