His address was divided Into two natural divisions one portion treating of the early history of the Grando Ronde valley and the other the Northwest In general. Today, we publish that portion relating to the Grande Ronde: On July llth, 1862, my two brothers, Frank and Lon and myself, arrived In the Grande Ronde valley,-and for - a short time camped on the ground now the center of01d La Grande. P At that time there were only two families in what is now Union county, and they were the families of Ben Brown and a Mr. Leasy. Five unmarried men were then lo cated on claims In and around where La Grande was afterward located, some being as far as seven miles north at what was then called the Fort, as Z !os C?.b!n ""'I th"f with rtnrt holps on all sides, being built for 'protection against the Indians. During the latter part of that season the town of Old La Grande was laid out and the main business 'street was made to fit the old emigrant road that had been traveled by the weary emi grants every summer since th year of 1864 and at certain seasons before that time. Most all the towns In Eastern Ore gon were laid out directly on some wagon road or pack trail, as the trade oJT the town depended largely on the traveling public for Its support and they seldom paid any attention to the points of the compas, but made the ! main street of the town to fit the road, whether it was crooked or oth erwise. This rule applied to the town of Eummervllle, for you see the main bus iness street with its angles, one point ing toward Union in a Southeasterly direction and the other toward Walla Walla, by the way of the Thomas and Ruckle road. . &oon arter making our first camp on ' . July 11. 1862. I made a trip over the . valley to learn of the different loca- i , j tlons and quality of the land, a VI aw of lnrntlnp ft home fnr mvaclf and "the girl I left behind me," who j was yet over In the "webfoot" country i awaiting my orders, and who had ex- I the dangers of the Indians and f ron l tier life to help build up a new coun try with a vew of enjoying the fruits thereof in later years. At that time I drove my claim stakes about two miles Northwest of Sum- mervllle, on unsurveyed lands the place Is now known as my "-Dry Creek" farm, and on this same farm in 1903 we held the first Rinehart reunion, in memory of our father and mother, won crossed the plains to Oregon in lt.'4. All was then unsettled and unsur veyed, without roads, except Indian trails and the bunch grass on the uplands was beautiful and Bhowed a luxurlent growth from one to two f I f j. r.

Thltt made It iu'.e expensive- for the fellow who had more than one girl as he had to pay on all letters in and out. We lived principally on bread and beef, as at that time no vegetables or grain of any kind had been raised in the valley and during the late fall and winter the deep snows on the Blue mountains shut us off from Walla Walla. In 1863 I hauled seed wheat from Walla Walla and raised over 40 buBhels to the acre on sod ground.' Hundreds of bushels of this wheat was carried away by far and near neighbors on snow shoes, In flour sacks, much of it from three to five miles distant and ground in coffee I mills for bread during the long winter ! of 1864. !

The blood does not contala the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and Is therefore a weak, watery stream which cannot afford sufficient nourishment to sustain th system in ordinary health. A poorly nourished body cannot resist disease, and this exnlains why so many persons are attacked by a spell of sickness when the U39 of a good toni would have prevented the trouble. Ia S. S. S. will be found both blood-cleansing and tonic qualities combined. It builds up weak constitutions by removing all impurities and germs from the blood, thus supplying a certain means for restoring strength and invigorating the system. The healthful, vegetable' ingredients of which S. S. S. is composed make it splendidly fitted to the needs of those sy3tem3 which are delicate from any cause. It is Nature's Porfoct Tonic, free from all harmful minerals, a safe and ploasant acting medicine for persons o every age. S. S. S. rids the body of that tired, wora-out feeling so common nt this season, improvos the appetite and digestion, tones up the stomacli. acts with pleasing ejects on th nervous system, and relnvigora tea ever- portion of the body.
