C. W. Ganong.
Grizzled and gray with the frosts'of
many winters, rugged as a gnarled oak,
honest as the days are long, is the sub
ject of this Bketch, C. W. Ganong.
Known to every child on the streets of
Oregon City, loved by his host of friends
and respected by all, he has won a place
in the regard and affections of his fellow-men
seldom reached by any man.
Of him in this short sketch we write,
because he has helped In no immaterial
way in making the history of Clacka
mas county.
O. W. Ganong was bo:n in Toronto,
Canada, in 1837, of American parents.
His father was J. W. Uanong, a ship
carpenter, who had left the states in
that early day to work at bis trade on
the northern waters. His father and
mother were old' time residents of New
York and Massachusetts, respectively,
and traced their lineage back to first pio
neers of the New England BtateB . They
were "old-time," honest folks. While
yet an infant in arms bis father
moved back to the United States and
settled in St. Louis, at that time only
a thriving town on the west bank of the
Mississippi . in that growing town of.
tbf) great Southwest "Uncle Billy," aa
hie friends call him most, spent twelve
years of bis early life and attended
school and not bis first rndiments of
education. There by the rushing wa
ters of the "great river" the, boy played
and gathered his inspiration for the big
battle of life.
In 1852 the gold fever in California was
at its flood, and the elder Ganong with his
family decided to cast bis fortunes with
the people of the golden state. With
an ox-team and prairie schooner and a
caravan of other fortu e hunters he de
parted from St. Louis over the prairies
and endless undulating hills and the
great mountains of the Rockies and the
Cascades for the Western World, then
little known, but believed to be what it
has Bince turned out to be an Eldorado
of wealth for all of the sons of men "who
toil and spin." It was then a long cry
from the Mississippi to the "Golden
Gate," and the Gitnong family were
more than six months on the road, it
was a long, tedious, hard drive, weari
some to body and soul, but tne end
came at last when the weary ox-team
pulled up at tne village oi sacramento.
En route the family suffered many pri
vations, and the ruthless band of deatu
was laid heavily upon them. At the
sink of the Humboldt river.in the doting
days of the month of August, after a
and beast, the elder Ganong, the head
bard and wearisome day s travel to man
of the family and its guiding genius, was
stricken with that most dread ot all diS'
eases cholora. Doctors were bard to
getand medicine was Bcarce, but the beBt
could not stay the ravages of that mon
ster which has ravished many lands and
depopulated cities in every part of the
eartn, and oeiore tne niiumgui uour iue
Btrong fortune hunter had paid the last
debt of nature, and the Ganoug family
was orphaned in the heart ot tne wilds ot
of the continent. The next day the body
of the dead was peacefully laid to rest
at the sink of the great river and
there he sleeps to this good day and
will sleep until the "quick and the dead"
hall rise .
The family arriving at Sacramento,
immediately wept to work. The sub-
iectof thi- Bketcn engaged as au ox-
driver at $75 per month, and there the
familv lived and prospered. Later tney
moved to San Jose. In 1859 Mr. Ga
llons secured a job that brought him
northward, and he located at that early
date on the waters of "the beautiful
river" and has lived there from that time
until this. In his early life, back in
Missouri, he had learned the trade of
blacksmith, and after he came to Ore
gon he worked at his trade for a good,
long number of years.
,i. r. Ganoner was married in 1860 to
Miss Bettie Allen, a step-daughter oi
William Barlow, of Barlow, this county
Tj this union four childien were born,
all of whom are vet living. Joe W. is
the tecretary of the Portland Flouring
Mills Co . in this city ; B. Clark, who is
employed bj the Imperial Mills, in Ore
gon City, Mrs. Anna Howard and
Mrs. Tillie G. Miller. Mr. Ganong's
married life has been singularly pleas
ant, and be and his good wife are spend
ing their green old age ?n the farm two
mileB up the Willamette river irom ure
eon City.
In politics Mr. Ganong has always
been a democrat. He has supported bis
party in season Tind out of seasou lor ail
thuua mitirg anil halif-vefl trxlnv. &R hft
did when a bov. that all good things
candidate of his party for sheriff in 1890,
and while the county at that time was
republican by 1000 majority, he was de-j
feated by only 27 votes.' At the snc-
' ceeding election he was electei to that
responsible otnee by the narrow marein
of seven votes, and for two years whs the
high sheriff of Clackamas county, and
j discharged the duties of the office with
j fidelity to his constituents and credit to
himself.
Mr. Ganong has been a devoted mem
ber of the A. F. & A M. for more than
thirty years.
Mr. Ganong is now 65 years of' age,
hale and hearty, Btrong of body and
mind, a delightful companion and a
good citizen, whom all who know him
love to honor and respect. The Courier
only hopes that he live many more
years to pee the growth and develop
ment of thie great part of the Willamette
valley.
CCRVALLIS TOUGHS.
BREAK JAIL AND COME 1 0
OREGON CITY.'
And Are Promptly Arrested By
Chief of Police Burns.
Chester Keady, Tommy Cameron and
Ernest Stewart, of Oorvallis, were ar
rested in Parkplace by Chief of Police
Burns last Thursday night. The boys
escaped trom the CorvailiB county jail a
few davs previous and proceeded to this
city. Chief Burns was notified that they
were supposed to be in hiding here and
made an investigotion, which revealed
that they were at Parkplace, a suburb a
mile north of this city.
According to the CorvailiB Gazette
George Fiek and a fellow student.named
Camp, were returning from the basket
ball game at the armory on the preced
ing Friday evening. On their way home
they stopped at Fisher's hall to look on
at a dance which was then in progress.
Here they found Keady and Lyons and
a number of companions who endeav
ored to force a row . The students
started for borne and their tormentors
followed. When near the Zierrlof reBi-j
dence Keady and Lyons assaulted Fisk
and Camp, knocking them off the walk
and breaking a bone in Fisk's ankle.
The court sentenced both culpritB to
serve 40 days in jail without the alter
native of a fine. They were placed in
the main apartment of the city jail,
as the Bteel ceil was occupied by a pris
oner serving a sentence for drunken
ness. Tuesday night the boys made
their escape by removing bricks from
the wall that stood between tbem at d
liberty. Lyons was captured at Albany,
Wednesday morning, and he related the
following !story of the escape to the of
fier9, together with the part taken by a
number of accomplices .
' "While Tommy Cameron, Joe Day,
Ernest Stuart anil Eddie Wilson shad
owed the night officer to give the alarm
when his rounds brought him past the'
jail, Tommy Flett provided the prison
ers with a steel bar which is part of the
hook and ladder apparatus. With this
implement, Keady and Lyons removed
enough brick from the wall to permit
tbem to escape. The crowd then con
gregated at a point west of town, while
Flett and Stewart went o Winegar's
stable and hired a hack. They drove
to a place of rendezvous, where Lyons,
Keady and Day joined them, and the
party went to Albany. Here all board
ed the earlv morning freight for Port
land, excepting Lyons.
Ihe party reached Kichard Kiger's
place about 1 :30 Wednesday morning,
where he tried to induce a young fellow
who is working for Mr. Kiger to join
them. He refused to do bo and 'hey
drove on. Warrants were issued for
all the parties implicated in the escape
and Keady, Stewart and Cameron were
captured Friday afternoon in Oregon
City. They were takeu to Corvalhs
Saturday.
Protracted Meeting.
The protracted meeting at the Baptist
church has been in progress since Sun
day of this week. Dr. Daniel Shepard-
son, D. D., one of the ablest divines on
the coast, is doing the preaching. He is
an able, sincere man of God, and his ser
mons are powerful exponents of the re
ligion of the Master's cause! The meet
ings at both the afternoon and night
service are being well attended, and the
indications are that much good will be
accomplished. The meeting is a uuion
service of the Baptist, Congregational
and Methodist churches.

in Slotvly.
Salem Oregon January 31 1003.
The Oregon state legislature now in
session resembles in many particulars
the legislature in all other Btates. It is
a clean, good looking active body of men.
Men who are wide awake to the'interest
of thie growing commonwealth and who
want to do the best they know to ad
vance the material interests of "Old
Oregon." The Legislative session is
limited to forty days and the boys have
to huBtle if they get their "little bills"
through the mill.
The Senatorial "mix up" is far from
beim; sohed at this date and for the
present at least there is sure to be a "tie j
up." On the surface the indication!
are that Senator Fulton of Clatsops
county will win the election ; but as yet !
he is far from victory, ine uemocrats
are voting solidly for Woods, the Demo-,
cratic nominee. Of course his election;
is an imnossibilitv : but the Democratic ,'
membeis are of the opinion that the
. r . i .. ii. t . i
time has come when Democratic legisla
tors should vole for Democratic candi
dates. Ex-GovernorGeer wboreceived
45,000 at the election last June and who
Ib claiming that he is rightful nominee of
the Republican partv does not seem to
haye much chance of winning the fight.
He commenced with 21 votes on Mon
day and lost three on the next day. He
does not seem to have much hold on the
followers of the G? O. P. in this state.
In fact he is spoken of as a "back
number" and a "has been" and when
the finish con.es will not be in the run
ning. Senator Fulton the leading
Republican candidate is a big fine look
ing fellow with an open manly face th t
attracts people to him. He must be
about fifty years old, his face is smooth
shaven and a good natured smile plays
over biB features most of the time. His
hair is tinged with grey and his general
appearance and make up is impressive.
He is a man of very considerable ability
a good layer and a better debater who
has won his spurs by many years of good
hard work for his party. The final
solution of the senatorial question ia not
until Borne time next week or even later.
All of the members from Clackamas
county are now voting for Fulton. On
the first ballot, Huntley and Webster
voted for Geer, more as a eompliment tp
the Hayes law. ihen for any real pur
pose to elect the Governor. The vote in

The Multnomrh delegation with its 17
members is flirting aronnd and have not
yet settled on any body or any thing.
Which ever way they go in the end
will likelv settle the fight. Seventeen
voters in a bunch is a pretty big thing
to thiow in one direction.

almost unanimous in both house and

against the measure in the house and
three in the Senate. The passage of
the bill at this early date is a good
thing and assures the holding of the Fair

On all hands vou hear words for the
new Democratic Governor Chamberlain.
He is all right and is making a most ex
cellent impression on all who meet him.
His message was a strong document and
is being warmly commended. It ia pre
dicted that he will make one of the best
got ernors the atate has ever had.

are yet in the back ground waiting to do
their work when the time comes. Lob

"all of the show."
While in Salem it was our pleasure
to visit the Insane asylum and to be
shown throuirh all of its departments,
It is a credit to the atate, and ia as clean
and well kept as any similar institution
in the country. There are 1280 inmates
confined within its walls All of them
cared for with scrupulous fidelity, and
everything connected with the asylum
is apparently in the best of condition.
There is only one asylum for the insane
in the state of Oregon, and the expenses
of conveying patients from Lantern Ur
uon to the asylum at Salem is very
great.
The otnitentiary was also visited and
extreme courtesy. was ahown to the vis
itors by the warden and prison officials
There is more than a passing interest
attached to the Oregon penitentiary on
account of the history of Tracy and his
remarkable escape from that Institution
'and subsequent career as a fugitive
from justice. There are 302 convicts in
be penitentiary As a rule they are a
high grade of prisoners, many men be
ing in prison from the upper walks of
life.
The Country between Oregon City and
Salem is beautiful in the extreme. It
is extremely rich and much of it in the
highest state of cultivation
While in the capital city the writer
had the pleasure of being admitted to
