The name. China Island. implies
that the Cinnamon, who were num-
erous around and about the Pierce
placerdiggings, in the early seven
ties, causd the name Of this island
by having at various times frequent
ed the place to wash out little
gold dust. Many whites, as well as
Chinks, used to prospect the islands

Clearwater country, and by the pan

China island at this time, and at
the time of Lewis and Clark, con-
tanned close to two acres of rocky
ground above water, excepting at
very high floods. BY this division
OF the river the early Indians found
1t easier to maintain their fishing
rigs.
This channel must have carried
one third OF the river at one time

easterly channel with the debris

part of the island has ben carried

while Lewis and Clark are camped
at this island they resolve to aban-
don the horses and make canoes
and continue their way to tie coast
in them. The Nez Perces have ex-
planned the courses of the different
rivers. and assure them it can be
done. Quoting the journal which
says, Capt. Clark, therefor. set out
with the Twisted hair and two
young men, In quest Of timber for
canoes. As ne went down the river

crossed the south fork and returned
to the camp on the south side, thru

part Of the way, in which was found
much fine timber for canoes. One
of the Indian boats, with two men,
set out at the same time, and such
was their dsxt.ritytn managing the
pole that they reached camp fifteen
minutes after him. altho they had
to drag the canoe over three

breaks of this creek and the Clear
water river grew some Of the old
pines and red frs still seen thinly
in places. more abundant in others.
Some Of the north slopes had con-
siderable growth of red fr; but the
Indians made an effort to keep the
timber burned out as they wanted

he knew nothing Of the wiles Of
civilization and his ignorance OF
this to him was bliss.
In Lewis and Clark's time few
Indian families were camped on the
present site Of Orofino. They used
the fiat as winter habitat. The
Taw-weh was a fine fishing stream
and the Indian could pole his canoe
es far up as the falls. He built
his lodges near the springs.

choice in selecting his allotment;
sentiment often guided him in max
ing MS choice. Many picked the
place where some loved one lie bur-
ried. Or 1t might be the favorite
haunt of some respected and noted
ancestor, or where he as a boy
roamed in his childhood. The de-
scendants still stick TO some OF these
selections.
Three prominent events Of this
noteworthy expedition occurred in
what is now Clearwater county. AT
Weippe they first met with the Nez
Perces whose kind and humane for
bearance, hospitality and assistance
enabled them to live and pass thru
their country. One might say they
almost killed with kindness. An
other event is their determination
to go on to the coast in canoes. and
making he canoes on the Chase fat
in this county. And the olher event
is leaving the horses to the care OF
the Nez Perces, who wintered them
in this locality; and the honest de-
livery of these horses in the spring
to be described later.
The village of Orofino occupies a
unique position. incident to the
journey Of these sturdy old. trail
mixers; because it is the only incor-
porated municipality from the Lolo
pass to the coast. built directly on
the paths they trod. There are sew

many along the river courses they
followed to the coast and many a
fine city on the land or domain

quire.

BRIEF SESSION
|. OF MARKET DULL
And IRREGULAR

New York, Nov. 5-The brief ses-
sion of the stock market today was
dull and irregular. High priced
oils, such as Mexican Petroleum,
California Petroleum and Houston
were strong, but junior shares, in
Guiding Pacific oils, showed con-
slant pressure. Some of the food
specialties and motors also
strengthened but steels, equipments,
coppers. feathers, chemicals and re-
lated shares eased 1 to 2 points.
Trading in rails was trivial. The
close was irregular. Sales amount
ed to 100000 shares. The bond
market was fairly active, some of
the Liberty issues continuing their
recent general advance to new high
records.
Trading in stock was again over
Swallowed by the demand for gov
eminent bonds at the opening of
today's session. Liberty 315s and
4A made new record high prices
for the year. Stocks showed no de-
cided trend, oils as represented by
Mexican Petroleum, California Pc
troleum and Houston, being the
strongest features. Losses rang
ing from fractions to one point, &C
companied the small offerings OF
Crucible Steel, International Har-
vester, International Paper, Corn
Products. National Biscuit and
Pittsburgh & West Virginia Fur
Their decline of the German mark
to a new low record of Al cents
was without effect on other foreign
exchange.

BOYS DOWNFA ALL

Penal institutions in the United
States have more boys in their
charge today than ever before in
the history of the country. The
cause OF the boys downfall is not
wholly within the boy himself. but
is the natural course OF the envir-
onments surrounding him. The
mother. the father. school. church.
aud town are as much responsible
for the degradation as is the boy
himself" Upon this charge Ches-
ter Milton Sanford delivered his
lecture. That Boy" in Augustana

boys character is being rounded
into shape. and his surrounding

of opinion. II, however, the broad
aspects of the conference are con-
sidered, namely whether America
and Japan will thresh out at the
council table the very vexatious
questions which might otherwise
lead to a horrible naval war in the
far east with increasing burden of
taxation and more sacrifices OF hu-
man life, then the results OF the
conference will be hailed enthu-
siastically as great work of pre-
vention-a success in more ways
than will be Immediately apparent
Press VIII Be Aid.
For whenever the official repre-
sentatives of great governments ge-
together, face to face, look each
other in the eyes and debate their
t>disputes, an advance has been made
over the dangerous method of long
distance cable communication with
evasive phrases and language that
develops friction and misunder-
standing International conference
is always a tonic for nations which
are afflicted with smoulderig con-
troversies. But, best of all, the
conference is to take place in free
America. where the press is I'M
, trammeled, unsubsidized. uninfiu-
enced by any government and where
public opinion functions sternly and
effectively. 1t will not be like the
atmosphere OF Paris where an OPP
pressive cloud hung over the whole
conference, a cloud of propaganda,
government-inspired editorials, back
door deals and trickery.
The conferences will be held in
secret here, but what happens will
be almost as secret as the things
that are said and done in executive
sessions of the United States SEN
ate. Americas delegation will have
every reason to let in the air anc
take the public into its confidence
Already there is evidence that Sec
rotary Hughes means to play hi
cards face up on the table and tina
the press of America will back hin
up not only in printing the truth a
he gives it to them but in holdin,
tenaciously to the facts untaintet
by alien inspection or color.
