Incidents of the Nez Perce Indian

the war from paper published at that
time.
Adam Crossman. a pioneer of the
walla Walla valley, gives an inter

waged by Joseph, "A renegade chief
of the Mes Perce tribe in 1878.
Elisha r. Ferry. then governor of
Washington territory, wrote letter
to Justice of the Peace J. ID. Laman
of Waila Walla to raise a company
of 40 volunteers TO aid the United
States troops in fighting these hos
tile Indians. A call was made for
public meeting for Sunday. in July,
1878 The meeting was held at the
appointed time at the court house
then located at the southwest corner
of Third and Alder streets.
The governor arrived to be present
at the meeting. Wnen the call was
made there seemed to be hesitancy
on the part of all to sign the roll.
Governor Ferry had done n favor for
Mr. Crossman in the past, and he
asked II Adam Crossman were pres

Come and sign up said the gov

the request. After he had signei

ammunition for the expedition. It's
object was to prevent Indians who
were coming from the Wallowa valley
from crossing the Columbia river.
The steamer Spokane used as a
eunboat to patrol the river went up
the river on the south side of Long
Island now Blalock island. which 1t
was learned later after the Indians
had reached When the boat later
reached the north side. most OF thu
Indians had crossed to the north bank
OF the river and reached a high bluff
from which they began firing into
the steamer which was met by a re-
turn fire from the steamer that
caused them To retreat.

THE OLD STARCH DOES TT.
Why Collars Crack In Laundering and
How to Save Them.

In laundering collars and shirts the
first thing TO be done is to get the
old starch out of them. No amount Of
washing in water. hot or cold. will
do this. for water does not dissolve
starch. Cracked collars are due to the
old starch being left In the fabric and
new starch being put on top OF it.
In the words of Wright Van Deusen
in the National Laundry Journal, 1.-The
old starch remaining in the goods crys-
tallizes under the heat and pressure of
the ironing machine and puts the fiber
in a brittle condition: hence when bent
for pressing through the finishing ma
chine 1t cracks. Remove the old starch,
and, with the uniform consistency OF
everything that is good in new starch,
the collar will be so pliable that it can
be bent between finger and thumb with
little danger of damage"
The remedy is very simple. 1t is
that used by most OF the largest collar
manufacturers-the dissolving of the
old starch with liquid malt extract
called diastase. This turns the starch
into sugar and takes 1t out of the fab
ric. One laundry in Troy handles 21J.-
600 dozen collars week and has so
few broken collars that it pays its in
spectors bonus OF 2Ia cents for each
one found.
