showed most clearly that the agri-
cultural sections Of the country are
more dependent upon shipping than
any other. What occurred? Ocean

on grain rose Sky high to 800 to
900 per cent: on -four. 500 per cent
and on cotton as high as 1,150 per

war our people paid in increased

CHIEF CLINTON DIED AT ABILENE
MARKING AN END TO A LONG
AND FAMOUS CAREER AS CHIEF

Mineral Wells, where he stayed a
few days for his health. His condi-
ton grew worse while he was at Min
eral Wells. and he was brought back
here. For the last four or five days
his condition had been very grave,
and for many hours preceding his
death he was unconscious.
Chief Clinton had been in poor
health for the last three or four
years. following the death Of his be-
loved wife, Mother" Clinton. He
clung bravely on, however, and was
on active duty almost 10 the last.
His indomitable spirit kept him GO
ing when his body was tired out, and
finally he sank gradually into the
slumber from which there Is no wax
ing on this earth.
A Varied Career.
One hesitates 10 take up the task
OF writing the history Of the life OF
John J. Clinton. His career present
ed so many different angles, was so
replete with thrilling incident, that
the writer is puzzled Just where TO
begin.
Chief Clinton never talked Of his
personal history to but a few of his
more intimate friends. He prefer
red rather 20 relate incidents of his
frontier days. IL was known, how
ever. that hs was born in Dublin,
Ireland. on Aug. IL, ls4s, while his
parents were on visit 10 that his
toric city. The family came 10
America while young Clinton was
seven years old, and settled in Wis
cousin, where his boyhood was spent
At fifteen, the lad was sent TO ST.
Johns Military Academy at Little
Rock, Ark The war between the
states was then in full swing, and
the excitement was too much for the
lads in the academy. Shortly after
his arrival there, young Clinton en-
listed with a company OF cadets in
the Confederate cavalry. Not one
was over is years old, but they saw
some OF the bloodiest fighting Of the
great conflict. Such battles as Dali
ton and Reseca gave the boys their
first real taste Of war.
Clinton was in the battle Of Chap
81 Hill. North Carolina. which was
founght after Lee surrendered. He
was captured there by the Union sol
diers He loved best TO tell his ex-
perience following his capture. The
Union commander noticed the bare
foot. half starved. ragged boy pet
ting the commanders horse. This
commander was Colonel A. l.. Lock-

three days later, as he rode the beau

At that place he staked the coloneFs

Young Clinton explained the situa-
ton so well. that Colonel Lockwood
gave him a job Immediately.
Thus AZ eighteen, the former Con-
federatc found himself employed by
the United States as a scout. with a
territory as broad as the Plains. He
remembered many Incidents Of his
scouting days. and loved to tell of
crossing through the country where
Abilene now stands in 1867. There
were no trees in sight then, and the
country was fairly working alive
with game. He recalled that the
deer were as tame as domestic cat
tle never having seen human being
before. II was while scout that he
first met Buffalo Bill. and Colonel
Cody never brought his circus TO
Abilene without hunting up Chief
Clinton for a chat over old times.
II was while a scout for the gov

Indian fights took place He parti-

STEELHEAD SALMON, !
COYOTES AND RABBITS
TARGETS FOR SPORTS
Closed Season Exists for Great
Number Birds, Animals and
Fish in This Section Of Ore.

In great part the guns and rods and
reels of sportsmen of Umatilla county
have been put away In their resting
places. encased in covers and thin
coats of oil as protection against mois-
ture in these humid days of winter
This Is not true of all rods and reels
nor of all the firearms, however, be-
cause there are some exceptions.
The reason for this Information of
sportsmen's equipment right now Is
that this Is the closed season for
practically all kinds Of fish, game and
birds, and beyond making plans for
tho season of 1922 10 trapshooting,
local nimrods are doing little.
There Is a little shooting that IL
permissible now, even In this season,
Coyotes are still fair targets for the

Is suffering from the inroads of polls

There isn't much doing in the angl-
ing sport right now, either. Steelhead
