In I'Vliru ary of 149 a large number of people were leaving Massachusetts for the Colden West, and I concluded to leave my wife and child and join the Massasoit Company, consisting of 2f persons, a few of them fine, able bodied young men. In the party was a Dr. Abbot, a very worthy uud able man of .' years of ago, a man whom we all admired and to whom wo wore glad to look to for advice and coun sel. Kacli member of the Company had to have :iilO In cash and in or der that the funds of tho company might be economically handled, we formed an organization and elected Dr. Abbot as president: we nUo elerted a clerk and treasurer. In looking for a boat to tako tit. down tho const to the Isthmus of Panama, wn ran n cross Cuptalu John son, who owned a new schooner which had Just come down from Portsmouth with a load of potatoes. The potatoes were sacked, so the boat was clean and In good condi tion for a trip, except that It had to be fitted lip for passengers. We chartered the boat and titled tip berths for all thu passengers II would accommodate. Wo left Huston on tho loth day ol March. 1M9, and everything went well with us dowu the Atlantic Cousl .null we reached the C.ulf of Mexico uhero wo ran Into a gulo and very lough sua.

' At tills time I was taken .down a i i Ii malaria and was unable to dj hi work that winter.' In the spring I o.eri-ame my sickness and arranged with a man who was broke to accom pany me on a trip to Sacramento. I purchased a pair of steers and a vagon. paying $:i(0 for the steers, and we started down to Sacramento. When we arrived at Clear Creek we could not cross on account of high nater and It coat us $10 to get fer ried across, una at iteti iiitiu ii coin us $lt; to he taken across the river. ben we were u limit half way down the valley to Sterlings Itanch we found we could go no further with the team, so we turned the steers out original Panama, but on account ot where the grass was good and de- tho water being so deep in I mm o the city the buccaneers were ciiabVd lo get their boats UP 'lose to land and sack the cliy. so I lie Inhabitant started to build where the present city of Punnnia is located and where thevWater Is very shallow, so shallow that the pirates could not come In closo with Ihelr boats. In the old city wo saw the remains ol what were onco payed streets and store buildings, mime of the buildings be ing two stories li i nil and which had evidently been substantial structures in their time. We also spent some tlmo watching the nmnkeis running along tho vines and Jabbering to themselves, and while amusing our selves III tills way two men caiiie along, evidently Western men. who weco armed with rifles, and asked us If we had any firearms, slating that the day before a tiger had been seen III that vicinity.

We accepted his offer and made our way down to Sacramento, wnere we found the town- flooded. I then went down to Sun Knuicisco and purchased about one ton of mer chandise and made my way back to Sacramento. At that town 1 met a party whom I knew and he was going north on a little steamer. I went up on a little scow and upon my arrival at Sterling's Hanch I round that the little steamboat had not arrived although It had started out six hours ahead of me. The reason of Its de lay was that on account of the flood ed river bottoms It had gone up a large creek Instead of the river. At Sterling'. Itanch I bought an other yoke of cattle and took my mer chandise up to Shasta City. I con cluded to go about ho mile, from Shasta City to Trinity Center, and to establish a trading post, as transpor tation to that point was very high and goods expensive. As an Instance, it cost me 7 r cents a pound to pact meichiuidlse to Trinity Center: Hour and sugar sold for $1,011 a pound, rough hide hoots at $211 a pair an, I hrogans at $12 a pair. We had souk eight-ounce tacks we had brought from San Francisco and for whim we paid $1I per dozen papers. We sold these tacks out In small quail - lltles at the extreme, high price of 2.'. cents per doen tucks, this being the highest priced merchandise 1 ever knew of. Wo did a very successfcl business In packing merchandise lo Trln i t y Center and selling goods it, that town. la the fall of lH.aO I left Trinity Center, and as I wag not in very good health I went down to San Francisco with, the intention of returning home to Hosiou. Cpon my arrival at Sac ramento I found that cholera had broken out and was-very bad. Tin man wtio had loaned us the money at San Illas, Mexico, had Just returned to Sacramento from Hoston, and hi was taken down witli cholera and died In live days. Cpon my arrival in Krlsco I found conditions Just er bnd. and if we went out OJ. any time, day or night, we would meet a hearse. I remember one night 1 heard a lit tle commotion at the house where w were stopping and in the morning I learned that a man had died ol cholera right In our midst. After staying In San Francisco a while I concluded to go to Sonorn. t'al., with Home merchandise. 1 tayod there until February. lS.'.l. then sold everything I had and re turned t" San Francisco. In March of the same year, 1 decided to go back to the northern part of the state, so purchased some merchandise and went up to Trinidad on the-roast. where I built a cloth house and stored nn merchandise. Ilusllless Here was dull on account of the trails being closed up witli snow. A man ante In with some mules nnd started out for the Salmon mver mines We went through the great Iwood forests and started to cros.s the nioiintalns, but oil account of th leei, snow we were con.pelle.l to stop so started a rump, where we stoppeu lor 17 .lava. In the meantime my i.aiiner had gone hack for .ome more merchandise, and upon Ills return we started out for Salmon Klver. which point we finally leached after travel- mil. i brooch snow three feet ueeo. although It was summer weather. We wen- verv suc.essful In pacRing ami merchandising at Salmon Itlver. I., il... fall of ISM I moved to Vr. kii Cul . built a little house wit! adobe ".replace and chimney nnd got r Ic for business. That winter men hati.llse got very low In Yreka. and as I had a pack train of 2 4 mules I decided to go down to Sacramento 1th the train and then go clear ti,., ih io Krlsco. It being winter there was no one coming In and t'" one going out. evcryhwdv be.ng .fr .i.i in cross the mountain., hut I nade two very successful trips Hoots were verv scarce, so I Ivoilgr.'

About this time I also acquired an ini.-r.-s. ... - lure at S, ottsb il g. .n-.M. Ill the cived s and a half feet deep and were fuli of water. Kv-ery step the horses took they had to put their feet into one of these holes. Cpon my arrlvul. on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus at Colon, I took steamer for New York. On boaid there were a number of young nie-i whq had b;'en working on the Isth mus, and In ten days nine of them were taken III with a disease resembl ing. cholera, and In the morning after they had taken the disease they were dead. I arrived In New York the lattei part of July. 1852. and remained In the Kast until September. 1 .'.:!. M'' wife recovered from her Illness, and In the latter part of September ni) wife .and son U'eorgel and baby 1 Loval and I started back to Cali fornia. There were a number of young people in the party and we made the trip via the Nicaragua route. (ieneral Sherman, his wife and baby, and their maid, boarded the boat with us for the trip to San Francisco, and on this trip disease broke out on the bout and live youhg women died. We arrived In San Francisco the latter part of October. 1 8.1 :i. I rented a house for which I paid $.",0 a month and $2.",n for the furnishings. I al so rented a frame building for $".ii a month and started a store. In the spring of IK.r4 I went to S-ottsburg. Oregon, where 1 still had an Interest in a alore. and where I purchased a small home. As my partners In the store would not sell their interests to me and would not buy my Interest, we divided the stock and outllt and 1 took the pack mule train nnd went to Jacksonville. Oregon, to which point 1 had been packing goods. In the fall of 18.14 I started a store at Jacksonville and left It In charge or my brother. In 18.'.". and ls.'iti the Indian war broke out and we could not get out to secure more merchan dise. In tho fall or 18.".r. the Indians killed 22 white men. women and children. At this time 1 was practically broke, so went packing tor the (iov eriiment between Southern Oregon und the Willamette Valley. In 18T.7 the Government had a sale ot stock near Eugene and they allowed me to purchase some, using the claim I had against them for packing merchan dise to apply on the purchase price of the stock. I then purchased a section ot land -near Klkton. Oregon, pay ins $71100 for It. including tin? stock on the ranch, using the money I had se cured on my sio. k. I then went to live on my farm at Klkton and slaved there until I Hf.lt. in which year I went to liosebiirg. Oregon, and pur chased a hotel, which a ran until istil. During these last two or three years we bad experienced very hard times in that aeotion, and while I had a good farm consisting of one half river bottom. I could not sell It for $2"."". At this time I was owing about $1000. and as this was al.ou' all my belongings were worth, I was practically broke, but as I was payli c twenty per cent Interest for the bor rowed money, my creditors did not bother me. In the summer .if 1st'.! I rented out the hotel at Kosebillg and stalled out for the mines In Idaho. When I arrived at Walla Walla. In. linker offered to let me have ni.Tcliandls'- tl 1 could 11 n .1 a place in which to start business. 1 went to Klk ( it) . Hi) miles from Walla Walla, and started up n merchandise business Along about Octobel. ISt.l. I wanted some more goods to till my stock, so started back to Walla Walla, leav ing a man in charge of the business. secured six puck loads or goo.is and started on my return to Klk City. but when I got within 80 miles, at Camas Prairie. I found the snow had tilled the mountain passes and I could not get hack to Klk City. At that time Florence was quite all ex citing mining camp of about 1 .. people, so I concluded to go tiler. Willi IIIV slink of goods I took a iiiatl with me lo help, stayed at Klt.r ence ten days and sold my goods, netting $.".oil oil tlie deal. About Christmas I returned to Dry Creek about ten miles from Walla Walla, staying there until February. Ivtis.j and where we bad to hoard It was a very hard matter to tin. I feed lor our animals, there being nothing but rough straw, and barl.-v cost foui cents per pound. This was a very cold season and wood at Walla Walla cost l'.ll a cord. I beard through all express rider that flour was very high In Lewi-ton so I went down to Walla Walla and found I could buy It for 12 S cents a pound. I purchased I2i' pounds and took It to l.cwiston. which was Ml miles distant, and sold It to a baker for ;i; cents a pound As 1 had nothing to do. I made up inv inln.r to return to Klk Citv lo look after Illy business. It took Hie 1 , days to make the trip on snow slows, and one .lav I was snow-bound and lost for a whole d.iv In snow 1.'. f-e, deep. For six davs 1 did not see a soul, nor the ground, ami the onlv water I saw was the snow which I melted In a coff.v pot When 1 arrived at Klk I ttv l tonn.l the people there had not had com lllUlllcatloll with the oulslde world fin- between tlllii all.! tool mouths. stranger who had h.-en running mv business during In v absence staled he hud sold $11'"' worth of goods, t- It Into the grass. The next morning he returned and found the gold dust and sack intact. These robbers, whose names were Dave Knglish. Scott and Peebles, were shortly af terwatd overtaken near l.ewiston and "disposed of." which had the effect or clearing this class of people out of that section. ! The next morning affr this at tempted hold-up. I started out with a partv of seven to go over the same territory- which we had recently unversed. When we arrived at a place three miles from where the at tempted hold-up had taken place the duv before, we stopped al a house to get a meal, lb-re there was a man. by the name of lleiinett. who went, down to a nearby bouse wnere lie ( round two men from Florence. These, two men had been followed for 30 miles by a gang of five robbers, but , w hen thev got in touch with our ( luirtv they decided that on account, of the size of our rrowd they would, not molest the two men from Kloi - en.-e. In these days the woods were, full of rohberr and highwaymen, and we beard that during the winter over, 2.1 of these robbers had been hung at! the lllackfoot mines in no days. t The next year we went to the War-I rel. mines, across the Salmon River. and did business there for about two years, but as there was not much ex citement or business there, 1 returned to Itoseburg. What I consider one ot tne nest acts of my life was In 18i.ll. when political conditions In this section were very much mixed up. There were two factions of the Democrats, one headed ny .nisetui i..u.e .. ..'- otll.T nouue.i n.v . ni-.u'i.. .'"..n las Democrat, ami the contending fac tions were very bitter toward one an other. There were about two bund red -people at a meeting In front of in v house at Itoseburg. Previously. I lev den had made a speech to the, crowd and I.. F. Mosher had inter rupted him and called him a liar, which started trouble. Whisky had , been flowing pretty freely and I must say I never say such a hot. wicked-1 looking crowd of men. and I knew it ' something was not done to quiet them there would he a bad tight and blood spilled. 1 called Lane and J. C. j Floed to one side and pleaded with , them to call off their men and stop, their quarrel, which I am pleased to, sav. was done. ( Mv wire and family had remained- at Hosehurg during the four years I was at the mines. 1 had nve sons. and not knowing what to do with j them, decided to return to the farm at Klkton for their benefit. I had i very little stock to start with, tnu i gradually accumulated herds of: heep. cattle, and quite a lot ot nogs. Some winters I killed as many as 8o hogs, making bacon and hams ot them, which 1 sold at Scottsburg to be shipped to California. Sheep were a paying proposition in those days. wool bringing as high as 50 cents, per pound. 1 also Traded consider-1 al.lv in horses and. for a number of I years, had the fastest trotting horses-J in the county. 111 1874 the people quietly noml-' tinted me for state representative on J th. reform ticket. This was done; without my consent, and while I never left my hnnie to make a can- i vass. I was elected by a good large! niajoi ity ar, u rei'.o iin-1'. John Drain! was at the same time elected legis- j !.-f ;; from this county. At that ses sion of the Legislature Drain was' elected Speaker ot the House through 111)' efforts. 111 187''. I moved lo Oakland. Ore-, gon. i urctitssing some ;aiid (near that' town. In 1882. li. W. Co'vlg and I, were nominated lor the Stale Senat". against Jos. Lane and John Driiir,.' Democrats. Colvlg was a good stieak er and made a good canvass, and we were both elected over- the Demo crat.'. About this time ! sold my farn at Klkton and commenced buying land near Oakland at what was con sidered in those days a high price. I w as . I years ot age her.ire 1 com menced farming and building at Oak land, and I was over 70 years of up.1 when I set out the 3.1-acre prune or chard one and a half miles west of Oakland. I have lived In this country u4 rears and have never had a tight or luarri-l with my neighbors or any body else, which I think Is a pretty good record, roniudoritig the strenu ous times we passed through ill the early davs. Good Until Nov. 15th To Introduce quickly and save advertising expense, we will.
