THE WINTER OF '65.
Elgin, Jan. 20. (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.

SHERRY'S
SHERRY'S SUNDAY AND MONDAY
.Many Phases of New York Life Are
Shown in "The Sunbeam."
Many phases of New York life are
strikingly shown in the stirring
Metro-Rolfe production, "The Sun
beam," with Mabel Taliaferro as O.o
: man; her persistance in pleading witk
'a gruff millionaire who tias turnod
! against his own flesh and blood, form
I two of the most striking features of
the play.
"The Sunbeam" is ,a great favorite
with the kiddies of the tenement dis
trict where she lives. One of those
children is the grandson of the mil
lionaire, living in squalor with his
mother, who won the hatred of the old
man because she married his son.
By the force of her sweet, trusting'
nature, "The Sunbeam" transforms

star, which will be seen at the Sherry
Theatre here on Sunday and Monday.
The story deals with a girl who, be
cause of her wonderfully sweet and
generous nature, Eheds happiness on
all with whom she comes in contact
and thus wins the name of "The Sun
beam." Her influence over a young
New York gangster, in love with her,
whom she transforms into an upright
the millionaire from a creature at
greed into a venerable man wfeo ia
ruled by generous impulses. And then
the sunlight pours into her own life,
for she marries the youth she loves.
I It is a fine play, one that by picturing
grinding greed, awakens better emo
( tions and emphasizes the truth of tho
' old saying that "Tis love that makes
the world go 'round."
