e before setting out for my new station. The journey across the continent was very pleasant and memorable. I had two aids, Captain J. A. Sladen and Captain Melville C. Wilkinson. Captain Sladen had three children, Captain Wilkinson two, and Mrs. Howard and myself five, so that we took quite complete possession of a railway car.Captain Wilkinson two, and Mrs. Howard and myself five, so that we took quite complete possession of a railway car. People would come along and take a look at the car filled with children, and if they liked children would come in and enjoy their gayety, and play with them; but others would say: Don't go in there, that car is full of young ones. Those who did come in were happy and helpful, and I hardly think that a more jovial company ever madofficial act was to close out General Davis's Modoc Campaign by sending a remnant, those still held as prisoners, to the Indian Territory. My aiddecamp, Captain M. C. Wilkinson, who had done a like service the preceding fall, was detailed to have charge of the party. At first he treated the Indians with some severity, handcuffin

Wilkinson of my staff was very active and earnest in Christian effort. Soon we rented a large set of rooms on the lower side of Front Street, where there had been a saloon and extensive gambling arrangements. Our meetings kept increasing, and large numbers of those who had gone astray were brought back to the Master's service. A single instance may show how we worked in those days. E. P.

Although I protested, stating that I was supposed now to be retired, the Colonel welcomed me with a military salute of eleven guns. He said that I would always be his commander and so gave me a review of his entire regiment. In the march past, commanding a company, was my former aid-de-camp, Captain M. C. Wilkinson, who in the Nez Perces War in the battle of the Clearwater, July 11 and 12, 1877, had under my eye performed such gallant services in action that he was brevetted a major on October 5, 1898. He was killed in leading an attack against the Indians at Bear Island, Leech Lake, Minn. While in Portland we lived near our daughter, Mrs. James T.
