mas and other Natural Holi-
DAYS, and that is, you got
to plan what to do on them.
About one year ago l and George,
that's my husband, got to talking
about a piece he read me In the paper
where it seems there was a e1ort
going on all over the country to have
a quiet. peaceful Fourth of July in
stead of saying it with gunpowder ana
ambulances, and right away we de-
cided that was a good idea.
Why give Junior one dollar for ire
works and the doctor five dollars Tor
repairs? Why not keep the money
in the family, see, and spend the SIX
iron Henrys on a nice pleasure trip
instead? This would not only be
chance to bring Junior up with the
right idea, but to actually increase
the chance of bringing him up at all.
So George called that Joe Bush of
the Hawthorne Club on the phone
and SAYS hey Joe, whatter you going
to do the Fourth. eh, or something,
and first thing you know 1t was ar
ranged for Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Bush
and that awful child of theirs and
us to go on a patriotic trip to some
quiet place in the country. we was
TO find a nice place to park by some
habbling brook in the shade of the
old oaken bucket. and the kids would
play together with the daisies and so
forth of July.
We'll. there are some friends that
when they say they are going to spend
the day with you. why you can de-
pend on it, the day is all they are
going to spend, and Mrs. Joe Bush
is one of them. I like her just as
well as IS possible in the circum-
stances of her being the wife of my
husbands best friend, and you know
what that means.
George wilfully blinds himself to
the kind of way I and she feel and
he will smile and rub his hands to-
gether and suggest lets ask the Joe
Bushes over, just as though he was
talking good sense.
This is on account he and Joe
Bush was pals long before they was
BenediCts, and they like each other
so good that they take for granted
/ and Mrs. Joe must be the great
est chums. But no such thing. We
wouldn't be likely to fall on each
others neck except maybe to wiring
It if we got the chance.
But the both of us has learned to
give in and make the best Of it, and
this time, even if 1t was the 4th of
July instead of Geo. Washington s
birthday, why we decided we would
bury the hatchet as well as the fire
crackers and have Il good time for
the children's sake.
X X x
PUT we didn't risk too much by
- going in each others cars. l
and Junior and George went in our
own, and the Bushes took their own
lives in their own f1ivver, and we set
out real early. having decided to beat
the crowd to it, on account of it being
a holiday the traffic might get thick
later.

UNDERGROUND Plants.

Garden, St. Louis. In spite of the fact
that millions Of them inhabit clump

unknown. One species of these sub

tous. Dig a hole three or four feet

there the algae can be found.

road was clear for fifty feet ahead
we had a blow out.
We'll, / am strong for peaceful
Fourths of July. / realize as good as
anybody that one string or nre
crackers don't make n patriot any
more than one swallow makes
drunkard. When l and Geo. 'and
that Joe Bush of the Hawthorne
Club and his family got together in

Fourth, we done a real patriotic duty.

Famous Forts in
u. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
(0. 1925, western Newspaper Union.l
When the Piutes Rode
the War Trail

Life was never dull in Nevada in
the sixties. II there wasn't trouble
among the rough characters of the
silver mining camps, the Piute In
dams could always be counted upon
to lift a few scalps and burn some
cabins. Early in 1860 they had been
so active that the settlers had to APP
peal to California for help:
Several hundred volunteers immedi-
ately rode over from the gold camps
to help their siver-mining brethren.
But more important was a force of
$50 regulars from AlcatraZ island, led
by Capt. Jasper Stewart of the Third
artillery and Capt E. F. Flint of the
Sixth infantry, which took the field
and formed the nucleus for force Of
800 men that kept after the Indians
until they were brought to bay near
Pyramid lake. There a three-hOur
battle was fought on June 3, and the
Indians were defeated.
The soldiers remained in the region
until the middle of July and put in
their time by building Fort Churchill
on the Carson river, 80 miles below
Carson City. This fort was the most
important of several that were built
in the territory and when the Piutes
broke out again in 1862 it was made
military headquarters for the Third
California volunteers, under the COM
mand of Colonel Corners, command
ant of the military district of Utah
and Nevada. For the next six years
the Piutes kept up desultory war
fare and expeditions were constantly
being sent out from Fort Churchill
against them so that it is no over
statement to say that the settlement
of Nevada might have been delayed
for many years had 1t not been for
the presence of this fort.
Fort Churchill is also noted for its
connection with another historic occa-
sion. 1t was on the route of the
Pony express and one day when
PONY Bob" Haslam, one of the rid
ers, arrived at Fort Churchill, the
man who was to carry the pouches
on to the next station was unable to
go. SO Pony Bob" took his place
and this resulted in his famous ride
OF $50 miles with scarcely II hours
rest from the time he started until
his job Of getting the mail through"
was done, over every mile of which
he was in constant danger Of death at
the hands of hostile Indians.
BY 1872 the troubles with the Pr
utes were definitely over, the Pony
express was thing of the past, the
garrison at Fort Churchill was with
drawn and its career as the protector
of an infant state was at an end.

Where Ruled the Emperor
of the Vest

At Fort Union, N. D., Kenneth Nc
Kenzie once reigned as the King of
the Missouri; at Bent's Fort in the
Arkansas Col. William Eent enjoyed
almost unchallenged sovereignty over
the vest territory along the Santa Fe
trail; but the greatest uncrowned
monarch of them all was DIR. John
Mclaughlin, officially chief factor for
the Hudson's Bay company in Oregon
but spoken of far and wide as the
Emperor of the West" benevolent
despot who for % years ruled over
an empire 100000 square miles in ex-
tent, of which his post, Fort Vancou-
yer, Wash,4 was the capital.
From 1910 to 1916, though theo-
retically belonging to Great Britain,
the Pacific northwest was dominated
by the Hudsons Bay company. From
1915 TO 1916, under the terms of the
Treaty of Client, this vast territory
was under the joint occupancy of
Great Britain and the United States
but in reality the word Of the III. +. c.
was the law. and the HudsOn's Bay
did not look any too kindly upon
American interlopers. The one excep-
ton was DR.. Mclaughlin, to whom
we owe an eternal debt of gratitude.
Fort Vancouver was the result of
the merger in 1921 of the Northwest
company, which had put John Jacob
Astor's Pacific Fur company ont Of
business on the Columbia. with the
Hudson's Bay company, which had In
turn crushed the opposition of the
Northwest organization. McLoughlin
was an employee of the Northwest
company but after the coalition he
was retained by the H. B. G. as CHIEF
factor for the Oregon country. In
1924 he began this fort on the Column
bia, go miles above Fort Astoria.
He soon won the affection of the
Indians who called him "The Great
White Chief" and his power over
them, as well as over all whites who
came into contact with him. made him
a man whom not even the officers of
the Hudson's Bay company dared op-
pose. Time and again he saved
American missionaries and American
settlers from massacre or from stary-
ing when they arrived In the new
country. Incidentally, his reward was
the basest kind Of ingratitude. In
1S46, when the Hudson's Bay COM
pany forced him to resign because he
would not follow its policy In re-
gard to the American emigration. he
was comparatively poor man, made
SO by his loans to settlers who never
repaid him. History is full of the
legend that Marcus Whitman saved
Oregon to the United States. But the
simple truth Is that that honor be-
longs to DR.. John Mclaughlin, the
Emperor of the West" who ruled at
Fort Vancouver.
