(Editor Observer) - In your insue of the Jan. 13th you 'speak of the winter of '" as begin ning in March. What pranks our memories play? If you have a little time to spare I would like to tell how that winter seemed to me. 1 In December of 1804, after crossing the plains, I made t'vo trips from near where Baker is to Umatilla, get ting back home, I think, December 16. It was raining and snowing when wc pulled up the Crawford hill. What a bonfire of logs we had that night at the springs. I think we got to Meach am the next day and fed the cattle hay at $80 per ton which wo had sold op the down trip, to them for $60. We got to the ellican the next night, built a fire in the log building, partly fur nished, and I slept on the loud in my jiwagon with my boots frozen to my Ifeet. Jno. Elliott's feet were frozen bo he could not drive his team the ntxt day. Bill Garrison had to hire a driver. Tom Ollingham hobbled along and they said I stood the cold because I had been raised in a cold climate, Iowa. Two Grand Ronders hobbled into the Pellican hunting their cattle the next morning and said the other two could not get out of camp on ac coun of frozen feet. The MaryBville Express registered the temperature at La Grande, Swift's and some place on Burnt river at ."Hi below zero, vary ing a little). I undertook to make my near wheel oxen get into the road by punching the side of his head with the whip .stock, just as his hind legs slipped and I slid down over him and the wheels ran over my legs and left arm. I was a boy, not yet 1H, and learning the world. We got back to Henry Cassida'c December Kith in 18 inches of snow, which got deeper. Winter in all its enormity continued. The fifth of May I started from two and a halfh miles northwest of where Baker is to go over onto Main Lower .Powder to hunt some oxen for Cnssida. The snow was 8 or 10 inches deep, but was gone on Lower Powder and there was new grass. I camped with two boys, whose names I cannot recall, in a bend of the river with a brush fence across the front, and how the grey wolves serenaded us those two nights I can hear them yet. I got back the seventh and 1 think the snow was still a foot deep or more at Pocahontas. They turned their stock on the new grass in the, lower Cove the 15th of April that spring. Respectfully, W. B. HINDMAN. i. Aberdeen, Wash., is considering the managerial plan of city government. La Grande's plan must be catching.
