Regrets Ui Cannot Come to Ifdo County to Visit Old Chum . Uncle Tom Currey of Imbler, I rich in pioneer lore; likewUe ig Win. H. Packwood, of Baker. ' Between the two have recently passed several letters of historical value, and the Observer, through permission of Mr. Currey today publishes a recent let ter from Mr. Packwood, it being the answer to a letter from -Mr. Currey inviting the aged Baker veteran to come to Imbler to' attend a coming meeting of the Farmers' Union. Mr. Packwood, whose daughter married Attorney John Rand, of Baker, was a member of the original constitu tional convention in Oregon. He says among other things to Mr. Currey: : Baker, Ore., Mr. Thos.' W. Curry, Dear sir: "At your meeting, I have no doubt I would meet some of my old friends and their children, whom I knew in the early sixties at Auborn and on the Snake river -when I ran the ferries on the Snake river, Olds, Washes, and Central and Toll Road on the road to the Boise mines. They were freighters and a more honorable class of men I never dealt with than they were. Many of them settled In your beautiful valley, I wish to be remembered to them, one and all; and have no doubt I would have en joyed being with you and the Farm ers Union. s I was a member of the Farmers convention that framed the Constitu tion of Oregon in 1857. There were sixty members; I am the only one left, of the sixty. Fifty nine have passed over the river and I will fol low them very soon. I crossed the plains to California in 1849. I came to Oregon in April 1850. . My class is nearly "Ul in", few 49ers are left. Judge Goston in his "History of Oregon," in summing up of ollicers of the Indian wars of 1855 and 1856, says that there are only two left to day. All gone except Major James Bruce and me. I was a captain, I however know of one alive who was a lieutenant wnicn woum leave inree. Major Bruce and Lieutenant Abbot are both older than I am and I may be the last officer of the wars of fifty nine years ago. It is not however the length of time a man lives but what he does while here, and I do not believe when I am gone that I will be classed as a drone among the pio neers of our grand country. With best wishes to you and the Farmers Union I am Yours respectfully, WM. H. PACKWOOD, Sr. A Cure for Sour Stomach. Mrs. W . T. Thompson, of Battle Creek, Mich., writes: "I have been troubled with indigestion, sour stom ach and bad breath. After taking two bottles of Chamberlains Tablets I am well.
