Iiis life,, Indian war was quite gen
eral in the Northwest. The seat of
trouble centered in \akinia \ alley
where lived Owhi, Kamiahkin and
ljualchnn. the subchief who had
sworn to kill every white person who
came within his range.
Quulchin was probably the most
blood-thirsty man of all this section
of tin* country; many murders had
already been committed by him and
he had even killed some of h.s own
people when on his indiscriminate
slaughter.
On January 26, Indians be
sieged the town of Seattle, the intent
being to wipe out all Americans set
tlers fortunately for the town and
the people living here the sloop of
war Decatur was in tin* harbor and
shells thrown from her soon drove the
Indians hack.
The territory of Washington was at
that time sparsely settled, a few sol
diers were stationed at Forts Stella
<oom. Vancouver and Walla Walla un
der the command of General Woll.
whose headquarters were in San Fran
cisco. Woll was stiangely opposed
to having his soldiers do anything to
the Indians or to do anything that
mght bo in line of co-operation with
Governor Stephens; therefore the
| rotoction of life and property devolv
ed mainly on volunteers.
To assist Washington and for her
o'. ii protection. Oregon sent about
4**b volunteers, commanded by Colonel
C .melius up the Columbia River
through the Walla Walla district, on
tluough the Falouse country hack to
the ( olumbia which stream they cross

— Cherokee Hill, veteran of the plains
%
and soldier in the war of 1M2, has
just celebrated his 12‘Ird birthday at
the country home here.
Cherokee Kill is the only name he
knows. In the early days of the coun
try h«‘ fought the Kritish in 1M2, en
listing in the army when he was L">
years old. He was borne June (C. 1710,
and was twice listed in the United
States census as the oldest native Am
erican.
The aged Indian recently made a
cap for himself and wears this proud
ly when he hobbles along the streets
occasionally with the aid of a cane he
has owned since the civil war. He is
getting feeble, though he still has a
good appetite.

DEC ADE OF REVOLl TION
| ITTS MEXICAN RAILROAD
IN VERY BAD CONDITION
MEXICO CITY, July 10— Twisted
rails, decayed cross ties and worn-out
lolling stock — products of a decade
of revolution — militate against the
efficiency of Mexico's railroads. No
greater problem of reconstruction
faces the country than the* rehabilita
tion'of her railway lines.
The average speed of a Mexican
passenger train is ”0 miles an hour.
From Juarez to Mexico, a distance of
1,21*10 miles, one has to travel 45 hours
running time, exclusive of lengthy
stops at Chihuahua City and Torreon.
The shorter trip to Mexico City from
Nuevo Laredo, opposite Laredo, Tex.,
requires ten hours less.
Bandits in all parts of the country
have wrought havoc with the nation's
railway system. Even today one can
see ruins of trains that were burned
down by outlaws years ago. The road
beds likewise have suffered. Derail
ments are frequent, being due to the
improper repairing of tracks damag
ed by marauders.
