remained redly. Her eyes blazed with
loathing and hatred, but she uttered
no word. The noise of the band
stopped as though the sound had been
cut with scissors. An ominous, blood
quickening sound came from the
drums. Ivan threw out his chest and
squared his shoulders: this was his
moment!

he put on his shining high hat before
the mirror. Sonya silently handed
him his long, black whip and the large
revolver which he stuffed in his coat

put the snarling animals through
their PAGES.
Sonya watched hopefully as she
noted the actions of Suva, the new
and frightened lion Ivan was break
ing into the act. Time and again
the lashing bullwhip cracked with a
report like a pistol shot on the nose
of the stubborn and vengeful cat as
Ivan carefully backed about the cage
so as to keep all the animals in front
of him. She hoped that Suva would
overcome his fear of the whip and
the outstretched chair for just one
moment!
"Ees going to have plenty of trou-
bic with that cat if he doesn't watch
out!" The voice at her shoulder
thrilled Sonya with an unfamiliar
feeling of happiness. She quickly
dropped the tent flap.
Armand" He caught her in his
arms as she turned to him and swiftly
planted a kiss upon her flushed cheek.
"You must be more careful" she ad-
monished. You know what would
happen if Ivan saw you even talking
to me after he warned me the other
day. With his terrible jealousy, he
might shoot you, or beat me with his
whip!"
"A RMAND'S fists clenched. IF he
ever dared" he muttered.
Sonya's hand imprisoned his mouth,
smothering the rest of the sentence.
Hush, my dear! You do not know
Ivan as do. Ivan will permit moth
ing to come between himself and what
is Ivan's!" She smiled sadly up into
his eyes. "And 7 have been beaten

Nothing happened. Again, frantically,
he pulled the trigger while his eyes
filled with fear and horror.
In the unearthly silence, Sonya
closed here eyes and waited for what
she knew was inevitable, the scream,
the crunch of swapping bones before
the animal men could possibly prod
the lion away with sharpened spikes.

EARLY DAYS on the

mat covered tents situated at the
junction of the small stream with
the main river. The inhabitants
were busily engaged in catching and
drying salmon for their winter and
spring stock. The place was about
fifty miles from the Columbia.
It was at this place that the party
intended to leave their canoes and
proceed to their destination by land,
and which was for the Spokane
tribe of Indians, whose lands lay
about one hundred and fifty miles
from the Lewis river in a northeast
direction, and where the North West
Company had already established a
trading post from the east side OF
the Rocky Mountains. Here they
engaged an Indian guide to conduct

them to the Spokane country.
It was at this point of the journey
that they came in touch with the
Pierced Nose Indians. AS French,
however, was the language common
among traders, and the majority OF
the boatman being Canadians, they
commonly called them Lee Nez
PerceS.
In this village they remained sew
en- days, endeavoring to complete
their number of horses which at
length was effected. They found the
natives hard to deal with, and they
had to raise their prices. Several
trifing articles were stolen from the
camp, which the chief promised to
recover, but he either made no at
tempt, or the means he used were
Intellectual. He apologized for his
want of success by saying that the
thieves belonged to another tribe,
higher up the river, and that they
had departed with the stolen pro-
perty. In their dress, language and
dwellings, these people differed little
from those at the mouth of the
Lewis river.
On the evening of August 18th,
the bateaux and canoes were laid up
in a snug spot covered over with
willow and loose shrubs, and given
to the care of the chief, who prom
ised that they should be carefully
preserved until the return of the
party the following spring.
A present of a fathom Of blue
! cloth, an axe and knife was made
to him, to his wife a few strings Of
white and blue beads, and three
dozen hawk bells for her chemise
de CUR, and among the remainder
a few heads of leaf tobacco was
distributed.
Thus far, we have endeavored to
follow the journey of these early
traders in chronological order. Now
the band has separated, and Cox
is headed overland for the Spokane
lands, but before he reaches his OBJ
jective he passes through an exper-
fence, the retelling of which Is
worthy of an article by itself. Next
week we hope to deal with the in
cident, which will demonstrate the
adage, Truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction"

THE WALLA WALLA TRIBE.
PARTY DIVIDED INTO FOUR
GROUPS. PIERCED NOSE IN
DIANS.
When Ross Cox's party left As
toria, they numbered in all 50 men.
On the 29th of June, 1872, this
number reached the mouth OF the
Walla Walla river intact, but the
next morning this number was de-
pleted by the departure OF eleven
men, under Robert Stuart, who had
been commissioned to carry dis
patches to st. Louis. The outlook
was not altogether the most prom
ising. The journey would be a dan
gerous one, across the mountains
and then by the Missouri river to
st. Louis. Twenty horses had been
purchased, for them through the
good Offices of Tamtappam, the
chief of the tribe, and with a sa-
lutte of three cheers they set out
on their arduous journey. The re-
n1ainder tarried at the mouth of
the Walla Walla until the 31st when
they moved up to the north side of
the mouth of the Lewis river Cor
the Snake) which is about ID miles
above the Walla Walla.
Cox's contact with the Walla
Walla tribe appears to have been
of the most friendly nature. He de-
scribes them as decidedly "the most
friendly" they had seen on the
river. They had an air of open, un-
suspecting confidence in their man
ner that at once banished suspl-
cion, and insured the friendship of
| the whole party. There was degree
Of natural politeness, too, evinced
on entering their lodges, which they
did not see practiced by any others.
Several families in the village were
visited by the party, and the mo-
ment they entered, the best place
was selected for them, clean mat
spread to sit on, while the inmates,
| particularly the women and chill
dren, remained at a respectful dis
lance without manifesting any OF
the obtrusive curiosity about theil
arms or clothing, by which they
had been annoyed among the lower
tribes

THREE YEARS OF ACHIEVEMENT

In an election year so far entirely devoid OF any
constructive campaigning, and filled only Win
meaningless jugglery of issues and a pauclty OF
lntelligibe pledges, it is refreshing to hear for
*once political speech filled with calm reasoning
land commonsense philosophy.
Such speech was made last week by Governor
&C. D. Martin before the country newspaper pub
fishers of the state who, for the most part re-
.garded it as nasterfm presentation OF the facts
confronting voters OF this state
It was unfortunate that the daily press of the
state for the most part deeply engrossed IN the
task of molding the figure of ALT NJ Landon into
an image of The Man of The Hour, had no pr0t-
Gent representatives there to comment on most
enlightening discourse, or to even report the de-
tails of the talk but perhaps their other arduous
undertaking taxes their strength.
The governors speech most impressive
one. for he demonstrated clearly that during the
past few years this state has advanced farther
toward good-and efficlent-government than
any other state in the union.
There are of course, those who have us believe
that Kansas has monopoly upon good, econ
omical government but the arguments put forth
in support of this thesis have but little weight IN
the light Of facts enumerated by the governor.
Why is this state so far ahead of any other state
i'm the Union? The governor quite rightly acknoWl-
edged that no one person, nor any one pollClcal
party could claim the accomplishments OF the past
three years, but that they had been achieved be-
scause the people themselves worked together in
"a common effort.
Pointing to the splendid road system we ENJOY
IN this state he declared that every road is paid
for before it is completed, while the state Of Ore
sgon for example, pays $500O,O00 per year in bond
interest alone to enjoy good roads,. Whereas IN
1888 neatly every school district and every coun-
1ty ard municipality of this state was faced by
Bankruptcy today they are with but few excep-
tfions on a cash rather than warrant basis.
More publicity seems to have been given to the
Fact that Kansas has balanced budget and Neb-
raska $2O,O0O000 in cash assets, than to the fact
that Washington is in the best financial condition
of all the states Back in 1885, this state had 3d.
100000 in cash assets and with the poor condition
of it's subdivisions, was near bankruptcy. Today,
the state has cash and security assets Of $780, OOO
900; has built public buildings than ever be-
Ind they are all paid for and has spent
more state money for social security than any
other state in the union
While accomplishing all this, our property taxes
have been reduced from $82,000,000 in 1929 to
about $40 100000 in 1886.
These are accomplishments of which the citizens
of this state should be proud, and they have been
made possible, as Governor Martin pointed out,
because the people in this state have never de-
manded something for nothing, but have recog-
