DANGERS OF EARLY
DAYS ARE RELATED
Letter of Olympia Pioneer Tells of
Hardships Encountered by
Travellers.

In these days of fast transcOntinen-
tai trains of parIor and sleeping cars,
traversing rapidly settling region,
the hardships the pioneers had to un-
dergo are easily forgotten. THE WASH
INGToN STANDARD is indebted to George
H. Hines, secretary of the Oregon His
torical society, for the following letter
from an Olympia pioneer. describing
some of the hardships of the early
days:
Olympia, Puget Sound, o. r.,
Dec. 21. 1851.
Hon. Joseph Lane,
Sir: There is great anxiety in Ore
gon that something should be done to
protect immigrants crossing the plains
against the Indians. The Indians have
killed several this year, and stolen
much stock. l crossed this season.
The Pawnees were very insolent and
thievish, and as l have been informed
robbed some of the late trains, so that
they were compelled to return to the
States. But the Snakes have been the
worst. They have killed women and
children, and men also, when they had
opportunity, and had several battles
with whole trains.
Many here that have friends in the
States wishing to come here, have been
compelled to write them that they do
not consider 1t safe for them to cross
the plains on account of the Indians;
and many more will be compelled to
write the same unless government does
something to protect immigrants
Some troops at Fort Hall and Fort
Boise would do much good, as 1t Is
this side Of Fort Hall that most of the
disturbance has taken place.
Twelve hundred wagons came into
Oregon this season. This part of the
country has received fair portion of
this years immigration, and is i'm.
proving fast. There Is great need of
more postoffices along the. Sound.
Some have to come 60 miles to this Of
fee, being the only one on the Sound,
and many neglect to take papers on &C.
count of being SO far from the ofice.
There ought to be an Office as low
down as New York. That place Is so
miles below this at the mouth of the
Dewamps river. That part of the
country is settling fast.
1t would be a great benefit to this
section II the mail was brought around
here by steamer. II you could get
that done for US you would do us
much good. The mail is now brought
racross by land, and is frequently wet
by high water so as to damage 1t ma
terially. Your obedient servant,
D. r. BIGELOW.
"The first code commissioners of
Oregon were the late r. P. Boise,
James X. Kelly, and Mr.. Bigelow," Mr..
Hines adds by way of comment, land
these men were elected by the Oregon
legislature in January, 1853, to per-
form that duty"

CLARK AND BRYAN
ARE FRIENDS AGAIN
Reconciliation Of Leaders Heals
Threatened Rupture in
Party.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-
Speaker Champ Clark and Secretary of
State Bryan have made up, politically
at least, II not personally, and thus
one Of the greatest ruptures threatened
in the Democratic party has been cir.
cumvented. The two leaders. torn
apart by the fight for the presidential
nomination at the Baltimore conven-
tion when Bryan's attitude spelled the
death knell of Champ Clark's hopes.
Joined in luncheon recently at Wash
ington. given by Ira E. Bennett, editor
OF the Washington Post, and later is
sued the following statements:
BY w. J. Bryan.
My meeting with Mr.. Clark has serv-
ed to clear up q misunderstanding as
to my exact position toward him at the
Baltimore convention. have tried to
make 1t clear to Mr. Clark that have
always regarded and do now regard
him as q good, clean, progressive Dem
ocrat. II my language at Baltimore
created any impression that I was
charging Mr.. Clark with being in SYM
pathy with any of the reactionary
forces, am glad of the opportunity to
correct any such misconstruction of
my words or acts, for l did not intend
to reflect upon either the personal or
political integrity of the speaker. 1t
is my earnest wish that there may be
cordial cooperation between the state
<io o.fv ho In
ing out the policies of the administra-
tiOn.
by Champ Clark.
1t is beyond the power of Col. Bryan
or anyone else to correct the injustice
that was done to me at Baltimore.
The loss Of the presidential nomina-
ton was a small thing as compared to
the injury done to my reputation in
the eyes of the world. But now that
Col. Bryan in his public statement has
done what he can to remove the in
curious impressions that were created
by his Baltimore speeches, feel that
we can all the better cooperate for the
good of the administration. l can only
repeat what | have publicly declared
time and again, that all personal or
selfish considerations must give way
to the duty that all Democrats owe to
our party and to our country.
The reconciliation of these two lead
ers has been the political sensation of
the week in the national capital, and
the frank statement by Mr.. Bryan has
won him many friends in the Clark
wing of the party.

EGGS FOR MATCHING

WHITE FACED BLACK SPANISH
The Spanish are great egg producers. They
not only excel in the number produced but also
in the appearance of the production. They lay
a very large white-shelled egg. In some mar
kets these eggs bring higher price because of
their size, W iteness and fresh appearance.
The Spanish are strictly MONSTERS and give
no trouble because OF broodiness. They breed
very true, thus giving very small percentage
6nement as we'll as any breed with which we
are acquainted. If left to roam they are good
rustlers and will require very little feed.

Miss Emerson
Frustrated.
Says Physician

London, April 1O-Dr. Manse1I-
Moulin, the we'll known sufragette
medical man, said, today, in discuss
ing the health of Miss Ze1ie EN- erson,
the American militant suffragette:
Miss Emerson's nervous system is
completely shattered. She sleeps lit
tie and even when she is sleeping she
does not rest owing to horrible
dreams. Her digestive system has
been seriously impaired and she suf-
fers great pain above the appendix. I
do not care to say more about this
feature of the case.
Nobody except the doctor and the
nurses is permitted to have access to
the patient. Her mother has seen her
for a few minutes at a time but only
when nurse or a physician has been
in the room. The patients pulse is
very feeble.
ST would not say that Miss Elmer
sons reason is tottering but she is suf-
fering from a severe case of nervous
prostration."
DR.. Mansen-M Moulin refused to dis
close the whereabouts of Miss Elmer
son and her address is known only to
her mother and a few close friends.
