CHIEF QUANAH PARKER, THE
WHITE COMANCHE

nN FEBRUARY %, 1911, Chief
" Quanah Parker lay dying in his
home, the "White House of the Com
anches'' near Cache, Okla. When a
white doctor had failed to save his
life, Quasei, the medicine man, en-
tered. Placing his arm about the dy-
ing chief, Quasei tapped his hands
and initiated the call of the Great
Eagle, the messenger of the Great
Spirit. Father in Heaven, this our
brother is coming" he prayed. a
moment later, Quanah, the son Of a
white mother, a chief who had lived
the white mans way for 80 years,
died an Indian,
Quanah's mother was Cynthia Ann
Parker, a white m who had been
captured by his father N0koni, The
Wanderer," in 1885, when she was only
twelve years old. She bore him three
children, W sons and a daughter,
A son born in 1S45 was given the name
Kwaini, fragrant" When friends Of
the Parker family visited the COmanche
camp to persuade her to return to
civilization she said, Il am happy with
my husband and children. l have no
desire to be anything but an Indian"
In 1860 Texas Rangers under GOV,
L. S.. Ross attacked the COnanche
camp, killed Nokoni and captured
Cynthia Ann Parker and her two-
year-old daughter. The sons escaped.
When the white Indian was re-
stored to her people, it brought her
no 10y for she mourned necessarily
for the Indian camp and especially for
her sons. Soon afterwards, during a
council with the ComancheS, some
army officers told young Quanah, or
Kwaina, that his mother was still alive
and they tried to induce him to make
his home with her. 1t was in vain.
The boy had never known anything
but Indian life. In 1864 Cynthia Ann
Parker died, still mourning for her son,
Quanah rose to the position Of war

In 1874 he was the last to surrender.
When he did he encouraged his people
In travelling the white mans road.
In his last years Quanah brought
his mothers body from Texas and
buried 1t heal his home. Then he
worked increasingly to have a suitable
memorial erected over the grave. Final
ly congress appropriated $1,000 for tina
purpose and two weeks before Quanaf
died the monument was built. Tbs
body Of Quanah, the chief Of the Com
anehes, was buried nearby, and th'

SCAR FACE CHARLEY, LEON
IDAS OF THE MODOCS
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

nNE April day in 1873 a party OF 70
~ soldiers commanded by Capt. Evan
Thomas suddenly found themselves
IN a death trap in the lava beds OF
northern California. Within Il few
minutes the murderouS fire from a hid
den enemy had disabled more than
half of the command.
AS suddenly as the Indian fire had
begun, it stopped and the survivors
heard a voice shouting to them: You
who are not dead had better 90 home;
we don't want to kill you all in one
day :" 1t was the voice Of Scar Face
Charley, the leader Of a Modoc war
party. With a force Of only Il Il
riors he had killed 81 and wounded Is
Of the soldiers. Wearied of the
slaughter, he allowed the remainder
to escape. Afterwards he said: My
heart was sick at seeing SO many men
killed"
The career of Scar Face Charley
(Chikchikam Observation-Disclosures
Scar Faced"), called the "Leonidas
of the Lava Beds" in the Modoc war,
was one of strange contrasts. AT the
opening of the conflict he had visited
the homes of many settlers and, warn
ing them that war was coming, 0
them to stay quietly in their homes and
the Modocs would not modest them. lie
had fired the opening gun of the war
when soldiers Jumped the Modoc
camp In November, 1872.
When Captain Jack, the chief, want
ed to make peace Charley was n OF
the warriors who tainted him and
forced him to continue fighting. Then
he protested against the murder OF
General Candy and Doctor Thomas
calling 1t unworthy of the heart OF
a Modoc." When he saw that the
Modoc cause was hopeless he sur
rendered to the military and enlisted
as a scout.

DYER PROMOTED
 TO NEW 0FFICE;
 LEAVES ALASKA
Federal Mine Inspector B. w Dyer Given Superintend-
 ency for Northwest.

B. w. Dyer, who for the past Is months has been Federal Mine In spector in Alaska, arrived on the steamer Northwestern this morning en route to the States to assume the duties of Superintendent of Coal and Mineral Leases, to which he has just been promoted MT Dyer is accom- panied by Mrs. Dyer and Jerome E. Wilcox, instructor in first aid and mine rescue work.
 Department Plans Uncertain
 Mir. Dyer said that he knew noth- ing of the plans of the Department of Interior relative to continuation of the development work in the Chicka' loon nd Coal Creek districts recently turned over to that department by the Navy Department. The navy claims to have blocked out some 100000 tons of coal at Chlckaloon and have also prospected promising body of coal at Coal Creek. In the latter workings there was little evl' dence of faulting found and the re suits as far as the work was carried were encouraging. This coal, MT Dyer believes, could be landed at Pa cific Coast points in competition with blacksmith coal from the Eastern mines.
 DeveIopment in Coal Fields
 Asked regarding the reported re cent entry of new capital in the Matanuska coal fields, MT. Dyer said that while there was nothing deflnite accomplished yet, he was assured that if the government would con struct a short spur from the railroad private capital would immediately in vest $75, ,000 in the Baxter Mine or Moose Creek. He believes that a good small mine could be developed there and fuel from it could be land ed in Juneau and ports nearer An chorage at a lower cost than now prevails. The quality of the fuel he said, is as good as that brought into Alaska from British Columbia Those interested in the project have received encouraging assurances from Washington and believe that the rail accommodations will be furnished Dy the government.
 Has Wide Acquaintance
 Mr. Dyer during his stay m the Territory has covered many sections and made a wide acquaintance among mining men, both operators and mn CTS. His headquarters were located in Anchorage. He has visited here on several occasions, working Tn close cooperation with B. D. Stewart Territorial Mining Inspector
 Both Mrs. Dyer and myself regre' to leave Alaska and the transfer was unsolicited on my part" said MT Dyer His headquarters will prop ably be located either in Butte oi Billings. He has not been informed who will succeed him in Alaska as Federal Mine Inspector.
 Mrs. Dyer, who is just recoverlna from an attack of influenza, did no stand the trip from Seward very well. the passage from Cordova tt Cape Spencer being very rough. They will remain here for four or fivt days until she has recovered hel strength

INSTRUCTION IN FIRST AID WORK
 WILL BE GIVEN
Jerome E. Wilcox Arrives to Organize Classes in
 Mines in Vicinity.

Classes in first aid and mine rescue work will be organized in local mines by Jerome E. Wilcox, Federal in structor in that work, who arrived here this morning on the steamer Northwestern. MT. Wilcox was as signed to Alaska for this work by the Bureau of Mines and has been actively instructing classes in the In terior as well as along the Coast in the Prince William Sound section.
 The enrolment for these classes will start within a short time and in struction begun as soon as possible Mir Wilcox plans to remain here for one month.
 The Bureau of Mines, it is stated realizes that there is probably nc other part of the country in which training in first aid is so badly need ed as in Alaska. Many mining camps are too small to support a doctor In case of injury often it is severa days before medical or surgical aic is available. First aid, properly ad ministered, is valuable in such cases
 Work Is Extensive Mir. Wilcox has given instruction: in some of the largest mines in the Territory since he arrived from the States. First aid work was carried cn at the Kennecott mines, where in structions were given at the Jumbo Bonanza and Mother Lode mines ant at the mill A total of 130 men were trained. the management assisting il every way possible.
 At the Alaska Navy Coal Commis s.ons mines at Chickaloon a moderr mine rescue statioon was installed Seventy men were instructed in firs aid work and 40 were given instruc tions in the use and care of the rescue apparatus. The Latouche cop per mine employees were also giver first aid training, as well as courses in first aid being given to classes of miners in the Interior.
 Standard Course Given The standard first aid course con sists of bandaging of wounds, splint ing of broken bones, the application of tourniquet in case of severe bleeding, artificial respiration in case of electrical shock, drowning or asphyxiation from gas, treatment ir case of surgical shock, care of dislo cations and transportation of the in | jured.
