STORY OF MARCUS WHITMAN RE
TOLD.
(Statesman.)

4 ENTHUSIASTICALLY
The thrilling story Of the ride Of
Marcus Whitman across the continent
from Fort Walla Walla to Wash
ington, D. c., to save to the United
States the country now embracing
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, was
told by Joseph Tuttle, Jr., of Denver
in the most eloquent manner at the
Congregational chapel last evening
Tuttle explained that 80 years ago
when he was acting as special CORE
spondent for the Chicago Inter Ocean
he became interested in the story
and, finding only one book on the
subject, was obliged to delve into
the reports of religious societies and
old newspaper clippings to verify his
facts, but so complete was his re-
search, that now, with all the books
which have been written on the sub
iect, he finds nothing to change OF
no new material to add to his story
written 80 years ago.
story Thrills Hearers.
The speaker seemed to have los'
none Of the enthusiasm which he
must have put into that early re-
search, and the story as he told II
last evening, thrilled his hearers and
filled them with an added feeling OF
love and reverence for their country
which was saved for them through
such courage, and fortitude, and such
great cost.
EngIishman Lets Word Slip.
Tuttle takes up the story at the
dramatic moment when on October
9, 1912, Whitman, the missionary
is sitting, the only American guest at
a dihner given by the Hudson Bay
company's employees at Fort Walla
Walla. An Englishman makes the
statement that colony OF English
were planning to come down from
British Columbia to COLOMBO and thus
hold the northwest country for Eng
land. Whitman remembered that the
treaty between the United States and
England, relative to this territory was
to be signed March 8, 1843. He left
the table as soon as he could and
in few hours was at the door of his
cabin, 25 miles away. bidding good.
bye to his wife and preparing to
start on perilous journey through
unbeaten trails across the continent
to save the country before the treaty
could be signed.
Dramatic Incidents RetOId.
The disappointments and perils OF
that Journey were described In
graphic manner; the lost trails, the
leaving behind in Colorado Of his be-
loved friend and companion, General
Lovejoy; the killing Of their faith

S. V. HoBsoN LEAVES.

s. V. Hobson u. operated our
Linotype since last September. left
Wednesday for New. York City, where
he has accepted good position. Mr..
Hobson was one of those rare char
acters who is always sober, always
ready for work, always willing to
do his whole duty or more, and made
as many good friends In town as
he had any dealings with while here.
He came to us from San Francisco,
is the only man we ever sent away
for, who came without any endorse
ments or recommendation at all, and
is the only one we have found so
eminently satisfactory that we could
give hi man unqualified recommenda-
tion when he left.
Readers of The Republican may re-
call the experience we had with one
Harry Malon, who left us without no
tice last August, putting the Limo
type out Of commission before leav-
ing, and the trouble we had locating
man to take his place. We have
been hot on his trail through the
International Typographical union
ever since, and may be able soon to
report that he paid the penalty Of his
treachery. 8s@

thousands who can operate limo

ators who can get out In country

it in good working order. Each ma

The speaker closed with the words,
"And for this magnificent gift to his
country, Marcus Whitman and his
faithful wife, Narcissa Prentiss Whit

far from Boise, IN martyrs graves,
horribly butchered and mutilated by
the Indians, who we're fearful lest the

which pass through Idaho and the

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotch1nen say: look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in fam
lily size packages at 25c or at 3Oc for
the package containing a piece OF hne
china. The regular size package sells
at 1Oc. Follow the example of the
Scotch; eat Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All grocers sell Quaker Oats.
