It was that resolVe to go in the name 'of "Christ to the far north,- west which made it possible for Mar- - cus Whitman to save Oregon to the • 33ut Marcus.

They wanted it for a perpetual hunting ground. Therefore they declared it to be a, land barred by itnpassable ranges of matintainS, a land- of undraine,ble morasses, ;pestilential and malarial, unfit for the residence of white men, a land given up to barbarism and ndian savagery. So persistent were the falsehoods disseminated by these greedy, selfish capitalists that before Marcus Whitman's advent Oregon had bie-n lying like the ca.pstone of the erll ealem temple which the builders rejected, hut which afterward be- came the chief of the corner, - All the national statesmen, both trans and cis -Atlantic,' cared no more for it than a pearl diver would care to carry around with him a cobble- stone, or a, diamond merchant would care to preserve an ordinary pebble a mo -ng his precious jewels, 'Yet Mar- cus Whitman at once knew Oregon was the strategic geographical key to the Northwest, He said: "It .nitist Sic ours. It must be ours on nccount of its future generations. It must. belong to the United States as -well . as to Clod." Why, fa)* 'Useless was this Oregon region considered in 1842 that Dan-. fel Webster, then premier of Presi- dent Tyler's Cabinet; was willing to barter off to Lord Ashburton- the whole of the Far Northwest for a few privileges for the American sail- ors to fish for cod off the Banks of Newfoundland. A few, years before this, to prove his utter ignorance of the intrinsic value of this land of the Northwest, Daniel Webster, then the. most powerful member of the rnited States Senate, uncontroverted by My' and Calhoun and Benton, made this astounding speech: "What do we want with this vast,•worthleSs area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts,- of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use.could we -ever hope to put these great de- serts, or these great Mountain rang- es, impenetrable and covered to their • base witheternal snows? What can we ever hope to do with the western (least of 3,000 miles, rock booty', cheerless and uninteresting, and not a-rharboon it? 'What use have we for such a country?

Tyler and Webster, tha two lenders el the American Government are being driv- en back and back from their old positions of statecraft by this' WPM- ingly untutored man of the back- woods. Then, like Paul before Agrip- pa, I see Marcus Whitman step for- ward, and hear him, say; "Mr. Sec- retary, you know not witat you are doing. Better, far_ better, barter away all the wealth and the sover- eignty of the New England otates for a few Newfoundland cod, than sur- render to England the priceless trees- uree of Oregon and the strategic position of the Far Northwest." "Bah,", answered Daniel Webster with scorn, "what Is the use of Ore- gon to the Union? That land is wholly inaccessible. A wagon road could never be built across those moun tains." as Richelieu turn- ed upon his king, I see Whitman turn, and hear him triumphantly say; "Mr. Secretary, that is a grand mis- take that has been made by listen-• to interested persons. Six years ago I was told that there was no wagon roact. to Oregon, and it was impossible- to 'take a wagon there, and e et, in spite of pleadinga and almost threat, 1 took a wagon over that road, and have it now." "Is that 'so?" said Webster. "Then Ore- gon IIIUHI. be saved to the UniOn." And. so 1 lind in these few words that the devotion which Marcus Whitman gave to his wife by compell- ing the men to carry his wagon over the Hockey Mountains was one of tha mighty means of helping to save Oregon to the, Union. It proved that the Far Northwest and the east were DRY BONES VALLEYS PLACES WHERE DEAD BODIES ARE PRESERVED BY THE ,CLiffiATE. ass Chile, For Inetanee, One Air is go Pry That le le Almoet Impomeibla For an Unburied Body to Peewee.: ppme in. thee Ordinary Manner. Among the most curious thing,s In this queer old world perhaps the weird- est is the "valley of dry bones" which continually crops up in various Verbs of both hemispheres, In Chile, for instance, the, air Is no dry that it hi almost impossible for a body to decompose In the ordinary way, liere and there in the mountains or on the plains one may discover a body that has been Clay for several years, but has no more returned to dust tban to life. There is literally a "valley of dry bones" not far from Valparaiso where a battle was fought during the Balma- ceda troublee, Here may be seen today bodies of men and horses scattered among the rocks that are like nothing so much as Egyptian mummies, shriv- eled by the fierce sun and embalmed by the natilral dry atmosphere, This Is not, strictly speaking, "a val- ley of dry bones," but that there is a real one in Ceylon no one who has vis- ited that island can doubt for a mo- ment. It is a peculiar fact and one which is bons° out by the testimony of the English planters in Ceylon that when an elephant feels its last hour approaching it will If permitted to do so escape into the jungle to die. Once the sick elephant gets away it is never seen again. Where they go to Is the problem, It is absolutely certain that they must go somewhere, and therefore as they vanish so ;mysteriously in the • hour of death one cannot but give credence to the tale which is often brought down from the .hills by the Tasnils and Cingalese. According to these people, there is a "valley of dry bones" near Talawakele, which is about twenty-tIVe miles south of -Kandy, the old capital of the is- land. This valley, to be correct, is said to be a vast underground tunnel, with munerous but difficult to find en- trances and exits. Such places are common in Ceylon, but the particular e.ave where the elephants go to die has never been discovered, ttotigh numer- ous expeditions have sought for it In view of the fact that the ele- phants do disappear when they are about to die it seems probable that some such place does exist on the is- land, for it is certain that the great unwieldy beasts do not Swim across the gulf of Manattr. The person who finds this elephant sepulcher Will prob- ably reap a fortune in ivory. Another strange place exists as a real "valley of dry bones" in the is- land of Janntica,, West Indies. Of couree there is a legend attached to it, but here are the bard facts and an actual description of the valley itself. It is situated near the Cunacuna gap, in the. Maroon country, at the eastern extremity of the island. This region is clothed prinseval forest, and the fact titat rails falls On an average twelve hours a day all the year round gives the jungle a -luxuriant green vegeta- tion not to* be found, elsewhere. But this valley, though situated right In the heart of the "wet country," is bare of leaf and life; T130 limestone rock is white and hot Giant trees that seem to bave been blighted, suddenly stand up all gaunt, white and dead. The valley is sheltered from the wiud and the tint force of the ralustorme. As a consequence this strange ratine is silent, unmolested and quite dry. The weird feature is that, although vegetation seems to have been dense 'here in former years. nothing will grow now. Nature has come to a com- plete standstill. During the hot season the temperature of the valley is alinost unbearable, and it is visited by Seismic disturbances that cause the dead trees and dry hot stones to rattle like dry bones; hence the name the valley has acquired. The legend of this "valley of dry bone*' can hardly be taken without a pinch of salt, but let us be nothing if not complete. Many years ago, says the negro story teller, a woman lived on a plantelon in Cuba. She was no- torious for her cruelty to her slaves. She used to throw cayenne pepper in their eyes and afterward stick cactus needles into their bodies just for sports One night the slaves revolted and burned the plantation house to the ground. The woman managed to es- cape in an open boat to Jamaica, where she sought refuge from her ene- mies in the heart of the jungle. Here she developed a mania for col- lecting all sorts and conditions of eats. When she had precured a mnItitude of 'the feline tribe she amused herself by torturing them. The legend has it that every night the demoniacal shrieks of the woman and the cries of the eats were to be heard even •In the Maroon villages. But one night a severe earth- quake eame and swallowed up the *ate, their tormentor and her home.
