ong their people another white minis

The first difficulty encountered by
the young missionary was a forbldding
one his inability to converse with his
charges in their own tongue. Few Of
them knew more than half dozen
words of English. At first he devoted
all OF his time to language study.
Armed with two simple sentences,
''Ein tseiken ipatswisha Titoka-timN'
| (I wish to speak the Indian language)
and "Itu weniken ke?" (What do you
call that?) he went among the In
dians, stopping such as would heed his
first sentence and pointing to every
object in view. AS they gave him the
words he repeated them again and
again until he was sure Of the proper
accent and pronunciation, then ne
would write them in a little book ne
carried.
In time his methods won and he
compiled complete dictionary OF the
Nez Perce language, the common lam
guage of the three tribes and supple
mented this with grammar. In do
ing this Iaborious task he discovered
that the Nez Perce tongue Is just as
complex as the classic Latin or Greek
or any of the modern languages. lie
found it as highly infected and the
verb conJugations following just as
definite principle and as difficult to
learn as the ''amo. amas amat" of his
college days. He learned, too. that
the native, while knowing nothing OF
rules Of rhetoric or syntax, rarely II
lever made mistake in his word end
|ings or sentence structure.
Hardly had the young 'sky pilot
begun upon his mission until he found
himself involved in fight that meant
his very existence as missionary If
not his very life. He found opposed
to him and his work the powerful
Chief Peo. head man Of the Umatillas,
and by far the most influential figure
among the tribes. This opposition.
which developed into enmity and bitter
hatred, sprang from a p-rely selfish
motive.

Years before Cornelison came on the
reservation the government had set
aside 100 acres Of rich wheat land for
the support Of Presbyterian mission.
| 1t was on this land that the little
group of Indian worshippers, with the
help Of the agent. had built their rude
church. But Of the quarter-Jection

alert Peo saw an opportunity. He
Joined the little church and soon SCI
cured control of the land. For many
years he rented 1t to white farmers
and pocketed the revenue. Not only
church land but the land of many Of
lis tribesmen came under his control,
land thus when the young missionary
arrived he found the chieftain strong
IL entrenched and with tHV income of
prince.
His first act was to look up the legal
status of the church band. Finding it

lie announced his purpose to the mem

shook their heads. Leave Peo alone"
they urged. Peo came to the church
meetings and openly denounced the
missionary. He sent his agents to
plant the seed Of suspicion In the
minds of the more suspicious Of the
red men. The Indian being by nature
suspicious, the minister at first found
little friendliness on the reservation
save among the few faithful ones.
Then Peo tried intimidation. Kash
Fash and others brought messages

life would not be safe. "Peo bad

James M. Cornelison does not write
himself down the successor TO Marcus
Whitman, but successor to Marcus
Whitman he Is. Many others there are
who have followed in the Christianiz-
ing work of Whitman among the Ann
erican Indians, but Rev. James M. Cor
Nelson alone can claim-if he will
( the distinction OF having carried on
the labor among the very tribes to
whom the life OF the pioneer mission
AIRY was given. 1t is among the chill
children OF the Indians who murdered

During long half-century follow
Ing the Whitman tragedy in 1847, no
Protestant minister whatever settled
among the Umatillas, Walla Wallas or
Cayuses, to continue the pioneers
task of telling them of the white
mans Manitou. First of all at length
TO do so was James NJ. Cornelison, and
he has been continuing his work
among them for more than twenty
years. And during this score Of years
he has brought to fruitage the tree
|that sprang from the seed sown by the
martyr of Waiilatpu.
Though the hardships and dangers
"a which the early pathbreaker was ex-
fiSsed have been largely eliminated,
the success which has attended the ef-
forts of Cornelison In reclaiming the
Indians to God fearing citizenship has
/ mot been gained without its price. The
task has demanded unfaltering cour-
age, infinite patience, unremittlng toll,
absolute faith and sacrifices few men
would care ito make. Cornelison's

AIKEN MAKES STATEMENT
ABOUT O'CONNOR CASE
Editor Pullman Herald.

The dismissal of the case of sec
ond degree burglary against Fred G.
Common, reported in last week 8
Herald, requires that a fair state
ment of the case be made in justice
to the college, and also to those
young men who live in Ferry hall.
They wish to feel that their personal
property has a right to be protected.
The first charge made out against
MT O'Connor was not second degree
burglary but a lesser charge. The
deputy prosecuting attorney, VIM. l..
LaFollette, came to Pullman with
Mr.. Cole, looked over the situation
secured the evidence and at their
instance | changed the charge from
the lesser one to burglary in the
second degree They had the evil
dence and if there was an error in
the charge or the evidence was not
sufficient, the responsibility was
theirs. | was the complaining wit
ness but was not notified of the hear
ing and did not know that there was
a hearing until the case had been
dismissed.
Another matter which needs cor
/ rection is the statement that Mr.,
/ O'Connor was ignorant of the charge
/ OF burglary until he reached his
home in Galesburg, Illinois 1t is
true that he was not charged with
burglary until after he left Pull
man; in fact there was no charge
made against him at all until he LETT
after finding that he was in trouble
The statement was made by more
than one of the friends who knew
him best that he knew he was likely
to get into trouble when he left. One
i of these friends loaned him some
money at the time he purchased his
ticket
1t is due the young men who live
in the dormitory to say that destroy
ing light fixtures and breaking the
locks of trunks and distributing the
/ contents over the floor has never
been classed as room stacking by
men in the dormitory. The report
inferred that the several boys with
Mr.. OConnor were equal in the re.
sponsibilty of wrecking the room
As matter of fact it started with
the intention on the students par;
OF college prank but when it came
to breaking the lock of a trunk they
refused to have anything further tC
do with it, and the lock was broker
by Mr.. O'Connor over their protest
All of these facts were given to tn,

themselves.
