The Home life of the Early Pioneer.
The .".Settler" are understiaal by
historian to lai that via who came to
Oregon In emigrant trains, to find
home. '
The live of the early missionaries
andotlkvrs of the Hudson Bay Com
pany have tieeu well recorded, but very
little haa been w rliteu of the home life
and occup itlon of the "Settler."
Ill nut a difficult matter to obtain
record of how they traveled to Oregon,
what kind of house they dwelt lu,
what they had toeut, what they wore,
and how they occupied themselves.
, But of the home l.f of the "Settler,"
he who came to save Oregon for the
Uulted State, little ha ta-n written.
Now and then the typical Oregoulan,
the one who tk a donation laud
claim, built him a house, married aud
raised a family, the one who ha iiumi
ou his back, and children who have
web feet he had a home life.
; These laud-claim of three hundred
and twenty acre to a single man, and
six hundred aud forty acre for a mail
and hi wife, wt re. given to people If
they would cultivate them for four
year after which they could receive a
patent.
Thus the population w a made up of
people with these kinds of home.
The home of the pioneer wa a log
hut, which contained uuu, ami some
time, two room. These log hut hud
puncheon floors, and the roof were
made of three-foot board, ami ome of
ti foot boants, wiiluh liMiked the
better. The bnauu usetl then were
not like we uae now, but were made
either of choke cherry or bael.
Wry few people hail stove, but used
a fire place, lu which they cooked; but
they had all brought bake oveu wit h
them, in W hlch they baked bread, cake,
aud pie.
The pioneer had no nmm then a
we have now, but Used caudle, and
many lime were out uf tallow, with
which they made candle; they then
used twiated cloth, laid lu a saucer of
grease, which were known as "sop
lanii."
Perhaps the giaal man had brought
an ax, and a saw or chisel, all of which
he made gisal use of. He fashioned a
tub for washing, a howl for nutter, aud
a churn. How did he grind hi colter?
He had none to grind, as general
thing, for the pioneer had little money
to buy provision from the Hudson
Bay Company' store, at V jver.
An emigrant tralu might arr with
a little codec, tea or sugar, a I be
glad to divide the laat cupful :U au
emigrant of a previous ye They
were uot allowed to buy over five
pound of cofice from the Hudson Bay
Company' store at one lime, aud
always parched pea to mix with it, so
It would laat longer. If t. ,ty had no
aa, they parched corn meal or wheat
Instuad. They could get no green tea,
aa it was very scarce, but they used the
black tea, which wa then one dollar
a pouud. When they did not have
itlier the greeu or black tea they used
a peculiar kind of vine, which grew lu
the woods, for the same purpose.
The good houae wife hud her baking
days the same as ahe had when living
in the Eastern state. Now It may
acem a luxury that any of these early
settler had pie. There wa no fat lu
the laud, aud you may wonder how
they got their crust. How did they
get the cruat? Well, a few French
Canadians had gotten seed wheat from
the Hudson liay Company store, and
planted field.' They had reaped
harvest, and the missionaries had
built mills. The one at Salem w as the
moat convenient for the people of Polk
couuty, until one was built upon the
Luckiamute river above the present
city of Dallas, by Jimmy O'Neal.
The people had no threshing ma
chine at that time, but they would
clean the ground and let aome. horrfu
tramp the wheat out of the sheaves;
run it through a fanning machine, aud
then it wua ready to tj ground. The
house-wife hail Hour with which alie
made her bread. Tills bread waa very
browu all the way through, aa they
acraped up the clay with the wheat,
after being trained upon by the horses.
The cattle that pulled the wagon
across "the plains" soon fattened on
the tall green grass that reached above
their knees, while the old pioneers
look back upon these cattle aa the
animal who brought them here, and
It seems now like they ought to have
been kept sacred, us the Egv ptlans kept
their animal long ages ugo, yet neces
sity seemed to say "The cattle must
make my food." The fat rendered In
to tallow made good tie cruat, when
mixed Willi spring water and flour,
The old pioneer will relate to this
day what good Hour was made in their
(list Hour mills. " ;
One of the guild grandmothers used to
send the fattier of one of the boys. -In
this class to gather sorrel for the Inside

The cakea made In those days were
mostly the aponge cake, pound cake,
plain cake and log cabin cake; the
latter wua cut Into long strips, ami
built, up lu the shape ofa log cabin.
Perhupa the unmarried man found a

The girls helped to card, split wool

a time were iiarder than any , of us
