There are several kinds

the kind that makes the

which makes water avail

MM REUNION RROGRAM
President Rinehart during the fore
noon session delvered an address bo
replete with the early history of tho
Northwest and Inlon county and it is
worthy of publishing and retaining as
a historic document. 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

began passing westward and some of
them were induced to stop In our
alley and be neighbors to us.

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

Something more than an ordinary tonlo Is required to restore health to
weakened, run-down system; the medicine must possess blood-purifying
properties as well, because the weakness and impurity of the circulation ia '
responsible for the poor physical condition. 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.
