One morning the Yamhill Indians awoke to find a group of Warm Spring Indians encamped cn the hill above them. They sent messengers demanding the surrender of Tyami, beautiful princess, who had been lest by them when a child. The Yam- hills refused because she brought good luck to their tribe. That night the braves of the two tribes met under a large cak to hold a council of war. Suddenly a voice from above spoke, warning them not to fight but to settle the matter peaceably. They believed it to be the spirit of the tree speak¬ ing and fled. Ever afterwards the tree was called “The Oracle Oak.”

dedication Cg 0 the memory of the Ancient Red Men who once roamed the forests where now rue the halls of our college, who saw a Great Ruling Spirit, an All-Powerful God in everything—the sun, moon and stars, the spark¬ ling lakes and rivers, the mountains, valleys and forests, the rain, thunder and lightning, and all living creatures, and who explained their beliefs in myth and legend, wor¬ shipped in all sincerity and devotion the Great Unknown Deity, this, the tenth volume of Oak Leaves is most sincerely dedicated.
