BeU^aed by Vtitcrn Newspaper <J Our'Most Costly W OVEMBER 29 marks the 70th ^ anniversary of the opening of what one historian has called "the most costly war in which the United States ever engaged, considering the number of opponents." It was th* Modoc wax of 1872-73 in which onlj 50 Indians held their stronghold in the Lava Bed* of Oregon against 1,200 soldiers upon whom they inflicted defeat after defeat before they were finally conquered. Says the historian quoted above: "In the war the Modocs lost 12 killed, four executed, one a suicide --all warriors, and an unknown number of women and children. The total loss of tne white settlers and soldiers was 188, of whom 83 were killed. The cost of the war was over half a million dollars. JEach Modoc accounted for three men and cost the United States government over $10,000 before he was himself killed or captured--a fearful price, indeed.'" The foundations for this war were laid late in the 1860s when the Modocs were placed on the same reservation with their former enemies, the Klamaths, who immediately began persecuting them. Appeals to the Indian agents for justice proved vain. Finally, in desperation, one of the head chiefs, Kintpuash, commonly known as Capt. Jack, left the reservation with about 50 followers and returned to their former home in the Lost River country where Milton Doweir'is'on the sick list at they d*fie.d their agent's orders to May the New Year fulfill all your hopes for Peace and Victory and be the gladdest year of all that have gone before; rich with-true friendships and simple joys. 1 SMITH BROS. erry day as you go your .and a glad year to come after filled with love an! taomey joys and punctured with laughter.

Coeds, Men Disagree Despite feminine effort to convince them of the opposite, men still believe they make better business executives than women, according to a study of 520 college students made at the Pennsylvania State college. • - Men interviewed believed that there is no excuse for suicide* that rich people are happier than poor people, that people with high ideals have fewer friends than those with lower ideals, that an unpopular person could become popular by lowaun. d I pisYol"and"fiVed arS^ar-Fac^Char- - iey At the same instance Charley come back to the reservation. He then called upon Maj. John Green, commander at Fort Klamath, to return the Indians, "peaceably if you can, forcibly if you must." Execution of the order was entrusted to Capt. James Jackson 'of the First cavalry. Accompanied by Lieut. F. A- Boutelle and Ivan Applegate, ' an interpreter, Jackson started on the night of Noveriv ber 28, 1872, with about 30 men pf Troop B for the Indian camp on Lost river. After a {breed march through the rain, the soldiers reached that place early in the morning of November 29. When the Indians came out of their lodges, Applegate explained to them the mission of the troops and urged them not to resist. Jackson then called upon the Modocs to hand over their arms, an order which was reluctantly obeyed by some of the warriors, including one named Scar- JTaced Charley, •"who began urging Jthe Indians to resist. Jackson then ordered Lieutenant Boutelle to take a squad and arrest the scar-faced warrior and another n$med Bogus Charley. This order precipitated a "duel" between the lieutenant and Scar - Faffed Charley, concerning which Boutelle wrote later: "I called out to the men, 'Shoot over these Indians' ; and raised my .P.FREUNDCIk In the coming year may you know the happiness that will tome of doing everything right fcr the sake of Victory!

The girls, however, believed that getting the breaks is more important to success than being well qualified, that a college education is nevertheless essential to success, that prize fights before paid audit ences should be forbidden, that parents should not slap or whip their children, and that a married couple needs at least $200 a month to support and educate two children. j--E~'*' 1 > fCeiling* Calculator By throwing a patch of light oiTff cloud at night it is possible to calculate the height of the "ceiling" over airports, according to the Better Vision Institute.

We both missed; his shot passing through my clothing over my elbow. It cut two holes through my blouse, one long slit in a cardigan jacket and missed my inner shirts. My pistol bullet passed through a red handkerchief Charley had tied around his head; so he afterward told me. There was some discussion after the close of the war as to who fired the first shot. We talked the matter over, but neither could tell which fired first." Immediately afterwards both the Soldiers and the Indians began Shooting. After a hot fight the Indians retreated, leaving the camp in the hands of the soldiers who imme diately destroyed . . The Indians' loss was two warriors killeo ana three wounded and an unknowi. number of women and children killed and wounded. The soldiers' loss amounted to nearly a third of their force--one killed, six mortally wounded and several others slightly injured. Minor engagement though it was, this fight was prophetic of the bitter price which our government would have to pay to win an unnecessary war. Although Scar-Faced Charley was one of the principal actors in the opening engagement, it was Capt. Jack who became the leader in the Modoc defense of the Lava ^eds. In April, 1873, a peace commission, headed by Gen. E. R. S. Canby, visited the Indians in their stronghold to persuade them to give up the struggle. In a treacherous attack, in which the Modoc leader was ! forced to participate against his | will, Canby and another emissary j were killed and a third wounded. For this crime Capt. Jack and j three other Modocs were hanged. iMttkj '«. . -£> Us--a Interest Taken Ftw Ike Me* ef fee PlaMeakv s< Teats Af» TWENTY YEARS AO0 inventory of the stock at the store of the late N. A.

Because of the great altitude from which an object is seen or photographed in wartime, the colors fade out and in the haze of distance and the eyes usually resolve the whole pattern of a field into a common color. A forest, for instance, will appear dark olive drab in color; fields will blend into a brown or t»n, It is important, however--when camouflaging important objects--to consider the tonal values that will be encountered in a photograph and obtain a fairly close color match. Meaning of Great, Grand Both grand and great mean one degree of relationship more remote than that ordinarily indicated by the word qualified and either word may be used to qualify a masculine or feminine noun. Thus the son of one's niece may be referred to either as a grandnephew or a greatnephew; and the daughter of one's niece, as a grandniece or a greatniece. Great is often used before grand to indicate one degree more remote in the direct line of descent; as great-grandnephew or greatgrandniece. •••v ••Itarin' te A group of American ""Indian soldiers, stationed at Fort Devens, Mass., are eager to go on the warpath against the Axis.
