WORLDS WONDER IN OREGON
Hottest Springs on Earth Said to Have
Been Located Seventy Miles
From Portland.

Springs hot enough to cook beans
and boil eggs In three minutes have
been found within short distance of
Portland, Ore. They are on the Clack-
amas river, 80 miles south of Esta-
cada and 70 miles from Portland.
These springs are so. in number,
and one throws out stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
years A French halfbreed named
Michel ArQuetto, a trapper, hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
of hot springs this side of the range,
made an investigation and found
them.
The springs are supposed to be the
Beans have been cooked in the larg-
er spring with the same dispatch az
on stove Eggs, enceased in mesh
of any kind. have been cooked in three
minutes Even fish have been caught
IN the Clackamas river and without
being taken of the line have been
dropped into the spring and in very
brief time cooked to a turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts. but not of sufficient strength
to make the taste Objectionable.
Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties of these springs and they have
been known to cross the mountains
from the reservation on the other side
to battle in the waters of the big
Hole as they call it.

keep a going, and the first man that
makes break I'll shoot him full Of
holes!"
He sat like statue on his shining
horse. his six-shooter balanced to shoot,
and something in his very presence
the bulk of his body, the forward
thrust of his head, and the burning
hate of his eyes-quelled the spirits
of the rebels. They were a rag-tag
army, mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms of every
known make.
1t was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been levying tribute
on the land for century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south of the American border.
The fiery chances of the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like giant, pour
ing forth torrent of oaths and beck
oning them on their way, and the lead
er was. the first to yield
With hand half-raised and jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking. some protest
ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all, they we're generation of
slaves, those low-browed, unthinking
poems, and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line of bewildered soldiery. looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat so courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia. whose eyes we're still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail.
