THE WEST SHORE.
(Gmhdtdfrom fourth pagt.)
Calvin Cooke, one of nature's noblemen,
whom I met at " Barlow's Gate " returning
from the campaign against 'ltlmik'ti,
Clokamo, Tamahai, Kiamauttnpkin, Isttia
slialackut, and their Cayiisc c mfc;!cratcs,
who murdered Dr. Whitman the year be
fore. (The five Indians named were after
wards delivered up, Uwn demand of (ien.
Jo. Lane, tried befure Jud-rc Pra.t, and
hung together on one galluus in Orrgon
City.) I will add in fammt, that, at " Ilai
low's Gale" 1 met with an old acquaint
ance Carey Chambers, formerly from
Oalcslurg, Illinois, who, wili ;li icl of
the volunteers, was returning from a cam
paign against the Cayuscs, that h.id told
fearfully on their wardrobe, though made
in the main of buckskin. Chambers, true
to the noble heart that thumjicd beneath
his buckskin shirt, tendered me a voke of
fat cattle liclonging to the army, to aist
mc through the Cascades. Uion declining
to accept them, and designating a man who
stood more in need of them than 1, h ; told
mc they had a baud of w ild Spanish cows.
which the boys would caich with a tar at if
J thought I could yoke and work them in
my team. 1 told him I could yoke and
work a pair of the bulls of I'ashan if the
litys would lead them up.
That yoke of wild cow prmcd to be
just what we wanted. They pulled up hill,
and pulled just as hard down hill. The)
ficver failed to pull, though their neclts
Minn became terribly galled and swelled.
W'a were out fourteen camps from t! c
Gate to Yamhill, and every night I chained
those cows in the yoke to a tree, and fed
them on bushes. With this usage they
worked hard, and gave milk enough to
keep our babies fat, and enable mc to
get a valuable young skeleton horse
through, which took kindly to bread and
milk while in the mountains.
The "men folks" in Yamhill had nearly
all gone to the newly discovered gold mii.es
in California. A few that were left, at the
urgent solicitations of the women, put up a
small log cabin, chinked and daubed the
cracks, and put a mud chimney in it.
"warranted to draw" by the architect, who
left the piiutsol hands in the "cats " made
of mud and grass, as he laid the long rolls
over the slicks and palled them down widi
his hands. A lawyer tf Si. Helens, now
gtown up and married, said to me last
week, that though " I was then only two
years old, 1 remember just how the piints
of tluit man's hands looked to me in the
mud on that chimney, and how the infernal
thing smokc-d." The chimney did "diavv1
very well, but drew down most ol the time.
The winter of '48-9 was very cold, and
we had a good deal of snow. The girls of
the neighborhood, dressed in common
shceling colored with lea grounds many
going to school through the snow barefoot.
The Ihwh wore buckskin, and some of ihctn
had moccasins. 1 was fortunate enough to
own one boot; full ot holes tin, ugh it was,
and the leg and heel of another. A raw
hide toot was siilched to this fiaction eveiv
night, with buckskin "w lungs." One of
my Ikiv scholars assisted mc even' night m
mending it, or as he called ii " uliic
ing " it.
Of my boy scholars, one of ihem aher
waids went in Congress from Oregon, and
was afierw.uds apiKiinicnl by Lincoln, Chief
Justice of Idaho. I'nc of Ihem became
the editor ol a medical journal, and is now
a successful practicing physician in Salem.
Ono is a promising young lawyer at St.
II ileus. Another became president of a
College at .Monmouth, and is now the State
Superintendent of hiblic Instruction for
Oregon. Another, afterwards became the
Governor of Oregon, then Governor of
Utah, and U considered in New Kngland
to-day as one, of the best stump ora'ori on
the Continent. In those davi we ate on
tin dishes, made our coffee at peas, and
drank it out ol tin cups, without sugar or
milk. We had little else to eat but beef,
lMed, and boiled as; and many had not
even Iwef or vegetables. The streams
were not bridged. So in going to mill in
the winter, e carried gram, wagons and
yokes over streams on foot-logs, loaded up,
yoked up, after swimming over the cattle,
and drove on till we came to another
stream. Sometimes the bottoms were so
inundated we had to raft for half a mile.
Our nearest putt office was Oregon City
thirty-rive miles distant. Here, also, we
generally went to mill. Some of the best
flour I ever had was made by R. R.
Thompson, who tended mill in Oregon
Citv. Thompson could run a grist mill,
build a steamboat, or build a cradle, and,
like Hilly Gray of Boston, do it well. This
is probably the reason why he is now one
of the wealthiest men in the State. Kx
Gov. G. I.. Curry now has a son twenty
six years old, who was first rocked to sleep
in a cradle made by Capt. Thompson.
These were the days, it is often said, that
' tried men's souls." Not a bit of it. We
were happy and contented. We had good
health, and had no burthens laid upon us
that we weie not able and willing to bear.
Immigrants of to-day, as a general rule,
make ten times more fuss about the
"g-u-r-real undertaking" of coming to
Oregon in ten days in palace cars, and by
steamer, lhan immigrants did then. If the
new-comers would bear in mind what the
early settlers experienced, instead of growl
ing about " privations " now, they would be
glad that somebody came before and pre
pared for them a home.
