Down around Cottage Grove, Ore,

they remember OF the C%aIapooia Indian
tribe. The last specimen Of the tribe,
Sam Fern, went to the happy hunting
grounds q few days ago and the peo-
pie at Cottage Grove I wondering
what will become Of the land which
the CalapOOla tribe was using. Some
of it is exceptionally fertile land. The
tribe got It's name from the range
OF mountains In that vicinity, or vice
versa. and the Calapoola were always
a peaceful band. This tribe went
through the great fire which swept the
coast range about q century ago. when
the only way the Indians could save
themselves was to remain in the rivers
for several days. The fire was so In
tense that the water became warm.
Calapooia Indians declared that the
