CHAPTER XII.
The Battle OF Point Pleasant, or of
the Great Kanawha.

TT was beautiful day in September
warm, clear, sunny. The forest
leaves were just turning brown
with the first chill of autumn; the riv-
.er had lost its yellow muddiness which
spoiled its beauty during the hot months
of summer; the saffron flowers of the
goldenrod dotted the green-brown car
pet of the Ohio wilderness; the coveys
of young quail began to collect in the
open ground and feed upon the abund-
ance which was offered them by Moth
er Nature. The forest had lost the sur
plus of sound which made il so noisy
in early summer, and, as the men in
yellow buckskin and tanned deerhide
marched out to battle with the de-
spoilers of their frontier homes, one
could not realize that one of the most
bloodthirsty Indian fights of history
was soon to take place amidst all this
peace and beauty. A crow cawed lus-
tily from a huge pine tree as II saw
the ranks of stern-faced rangers file by
into the thicket, and this was the only
sound. save the crack of breaking
branches and the thud of moccasined
feet, that could be heard about the low
voiced murmur of the Great Kanawha.
So on into the trackless forest moved
the frontiersmen, saying not a word
and keeping a vigilant watch upon
every side so that they might be the
first to pull on the enemy, when they
met They crept forward in loose
ranks-each man for himself, as they
had been taught by experience-snd
when a space of 900 yards from the
camp had been traversed, a blood
curdling yell. arising from a dark
glade, in front, warned them that the
foe was there and that the battle was
on in earnest. 4 shot echoed through
the forest, another and another fol-
lowed in rapid succession-and soon a
fusillade woke the echoes of the wood
and sent white wisps of smoke curling
up into the clear atmosphere.
Take 10 a tree, boys" shouted old
Flint Lock TO Jack and Tommy, and
never hre onleSs you see that your aim
is true. Don't waste powder and ball
on fallen tree stumps, and ef tn var
mints get US on tn move, retreat be-
hind cover an on your stomach. l
eallate that this is goin' tew be a hot
fight an we've got our work cut out
for US, sure"
The boys quickly hid themselves be-
hind two large-sized trees and it was
well that they had done so, for a hail
of bullets came through the under
brush, and, from various cries of
anguish, which echoed above the noise
of the firing, it could be easily seen
that several rangers had been hit. Each
man was now crouching behind a fal-
len tree trunk and was shooting when
ever he saw a dark object in front,
while Col. Charles Lewis roared out
above the din of battle.

Col. Roosevelt, at one OF his East Side
meetings, scored neatly of heckler.
The heckler was apparently one Of
those New Workers who, like Mayor
Gayuor. are very sensitive about the fair
fame Of their city. At any rate, at the
end OF a certain exposure the man
shouted from a rear seat to the colonel:
Why lay bare all that?'
Col Roosevelt smiled and answered:

meats at the right prices his business
soon grew. Having several afternoons
a week to spare, he learned to repair
jewelry, business in which he is now
also engaged.
Mr. DAILY has worked his way up
through difficulties from obscurity to
q prominent place in the business
arena in large city. He has promot-
ed many successful ventures and be-
lieves in the possibilities Of the race
along business lines. He has invested
largely in the theatrical hotel and res
taurant business because. as he says.
it makes room for the employment OF
members of the race.

men are watching with interest Mr.

in the public and high schools of this
city. He graduated from the dental
department of Howard university in
1900 with honors. winning the alumni
prize in dentistry in large field of
contestants.
Taking hold like veteran. he com
pletely reorga niZed the department, in
stalling a new system and adopting the
methods and practices approved by the
best dental authorities in the country
As superintendent of this department
and lecturer on crown and bridge work
DR.. Wormley soon gained wide repu-
tation.
The enrolment for the present term
sections The graduating class of the
current year numbers thirty-four, and
1t is the banner class in the history of
the school. The department now has
twenty-five dental chairs. and the
work performed by the operators of
the senior and Junior divisions is pro-
nounced by competent authorities to be
Of an unusually high order. To Illus
trate the extent to which the institu-
ton has developed under the fostering
care OF DR.. Wormley. there was spent
last year alone for Improvements, ma
terials and equipment over $500.
DR.. Wormley, with characteristic
modesty, disclaims any large measure
of credit for the happy results achieved
he attributes the lions share of the
schoors forward march to the encour-
aRement, sympathy and support ex-
tended by President Thirkield, the pro
Rressive head of the university; DR.. G.
81. Rowland. dean of the dental de-
partment, and by DR.. W. c. Mcneil
eecretary OF Howard Medical school.
Dr.. Wormley is public spirited to the
last degree and is always willing to

worthy movements in behalf Of the
people. He served two terms with
marked distinction as president Of the
Robert T. Freeman Dental Society OF
Washington. the first organization of
the race in the United States made ur
exclusively of colored dentists. 1t was
originally known as the Washington
Society of Colored Dentists. but the
name was changed to do honor to DR..
Robert T. Freeman, the first colored
dentist to practice in the District Of

Washington.-With the close of the
present school year DR.. G. Sumner
Wormley sewers his connection as
superintendent of the department of
dentistry at Howard university. The
urgent demand for more time to devote
to his private practice is given as the
ton. He has been at the head of the
dental section of the medical school
for eleven years.
The senior class in dentistry has pre-
sented DR.. Wormley with a massive
silver loving cup as a testimonial of
affection and appreciation of his I'M
selfish efforts in behalf of the class.
The presentation speech was made by
William H. Whitted. president of the
class. who paid a lofty tribute to the
character and productive labors of the
retiring instructor.
DR.. Wormiey thanked the generous
donors and told in a most touching
manner how he had tried to his utmost
capacity to serve his alma mater and
how he had made the upbuildipg of the
dental department his hobby" He
pointed out to the class that success
is measured by service and the amount
OF work done and not by how much
wealth is accumulated.

service" says a sage. Measured by

WHAT'S THE USE?

One day this week there was called in Phenix-and held-a meeting of Arizona newspaper men which organized press association, by election of officers, and adoption of a pretentious program. Several such organizations have been fram- ed in years gone by. In every case the association languished along a few years and then died of inanition. Cause for such failures one has not to seek far to find. There are not among the news paper men in Arizona that gen. erous spirit, that fraternity of feeling which in other states go to cement together in a harmonious

Last week Major Charles Hine, vice president and general mana ger of the Southern Pacific of Mex ico, addressed to the authorities at Washington a very pointed and opposite protest against the alarm ing and untruthful news" dissem- mated by the Associated Press with regard to alleged revolutionary dis
 turbances on the West Coast of Mexico. Major Hine stated that within the week he had come from Mazatlan and Culiacan, where he had found everything quiet and peaceful; yet on his return he found American newspapers teeming with sensational accounts of an alleged sanguinary battle at Culiacan, when there had occurred nothing of the kind at that place. There had been a slight skirmish between troops and bandits at Sinaloa, a town far distant from Culiacan. Major Hine called attention to the fact that on the same day as the alleged battle at Culiacan armed desperadoes entered a court room in Virginia and shot down the judge, sheriff and several jurors, and escaped to their mountain fastness where they are defying the forces sent by the authorities against them; and he enumerated other acts of lawlessness, occurring the same week in other parts of the United States, which were far more serious than the skirmish at Sina- loa, magnified by the Associated Press into a bloody battle at Gu liacan.
 However, as THE OASIS has ob- served before now, the Associated Press prefers lurid lie we'll told to columns of actual fact about substantial business enterprises that develop the country. When the Cananea railway was opened that important fact was passed with

A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.

Last year the republican plat form in Arizona declared for a presidential primary, and every republican newspaper and every republican candidate in the then territory endorsed the declaration and is bound by the pledge. The ticket running upon that platform was not elected, but it's defeat did not absolve the party from the binding effect of the pledge. While the party is not in position to carry the declaration into legisla- tion, 1t can carry it into effect within it's own lines. In the inter- est of one of the candidates for nomination for the presidency a demand is made that the party organization provide such a primary election within the party. Now, then, THE OASIS is not lean ing toward the candidate men, toned to any great extent; but 1t does see that for the sake of con sistency, and for the sake of main- taining a straightforward reputa- ton, the organization is in such case that it would make for good should it put the demand into effect and provide that in the primary elections whence will evolvein due sequence county con- ventions, state convention, and a delegation to the national conven- ton, the voters shall be given op- portunity to express their presi- dential preference, and that the delegates sent to Chicago be bound by the preference expressed by the most votes. It may not give a delegation to suit some republicans, but it will put the party in better standing before the people in the November election.
 Last year THE OASIS was one of the most earnest and persistent advocates of primary. It cannot go back upon the doctrine now. It trusts to see the plan proposed adopted.

GIVE IT A FAIR TRIAL.

Among the propositions present. ed in the message of Governor Hunt to the Arizona legislature is one to reorganize the board of equalization and substitute in it's stead a tax commission to be ap- pointed by the executive. THE OASIS believes that one of the re- commendations of hls excellency which can be ignored.
 In Arizona there has been long an insistent demand for board of equalization to consist of the chair men of the county boards. The argument for such board was that coming fresh from the work of equalization in the various counties such a board would be more ia. miliar with property values and could adjust assessments of like property in all the counties so there would not be the great discrep- ancies that have been prevalent heretofore. That idea prevailed in the constitutional convention and the instrument framed by that body created board of equaliza- tion to meet the long insistent de- mand. Now, before that board has been organized and given fair trial, /, Governor Hunt proposes a consti- tutional amendment which will make another change as described. His proposition is that embodied in the Wisconsin plan, where il Is said to have worked we'll; but only because the appointing power of such a commission rested in Ro. bert E. LaFollete, an incorruptible governor.
 The old board of equalization that Arizona had in territorial days was nothing but tax commission, appointed by the governor. It was the same instrument now proposed by Governor Hunt only under an other name. After long trial that has been done away and there has been created by the people another and entirely different body to dis charge the duty wherein the com mission form had failed. Before going back to the old system Ari- zona should make a fair trial of the new one embodied in the constitu- ton and see how that will work, Give it fair trial.
