HARDSHIPS ON
WHALING SHIP
Will Walker Returns To Ore
gon City.
GONE FORTY-SIX MONTHS
Meets Famous Explorer In
N rthwest Passage--Tells ,
of Cruelty and Says
No More Sea for
Him.
"Do I want any more of the sea?
You bet I don't. I'm going to stay on
dry land for the rest. of my days."
These are the sentiments of Will
VValkor, the son of A. Walker of Ore
gon City, who left home In 1902 for a
whaling trio which he thought would
last six months, and would bring him
at least $200 in wages. His six-mouths
trip proved to be one of forty-six, how
ever, and he returned no richer than
whon he went save only for expe
rience. Of this he got pleuty, and
tells a talo of cruelty, oppression and
hardship that Is almost equal to the
stirring novel -of Frank Norrls called
"McTeague.'
Young Walker was horn and raised
In Oregon City, and has three broth
ers and two sisters who were content
ed to stay at home. The Bplrlt of the
"Wanderlust" gripped Will, however,
and he wanted to get out Into the
world and see what It wus llko. Ac
cordingly when a smooth-talking
agent for a whaling ship held out to
Mm the glittering life of a whaler And
promised him the travels which he
craved along with the good wages
which he said would be forthcoming;
young Walker signed the articles and
shipped on the Dowhead from San
Francisco March 1G, 1902.
Bad Luck from the Start.
Bad luck attended the Bowhead
from the start. Whon they were two
weeks out a ninn fell overboard and
was drowned. It is Bald that a green
mate was responsible for his death
in not putting about In time to pick
him up before ho went down. They
had not boon out two duys before the
captain began to manifest cruelty to
his men, and soon the crew, number
ing some forty-six In all, cordially
hated and feared him. When off
the coast of Alaska a crank shaft
broke and they had to put back to San
Francisco under sail and wait for the
engine to be repaired.
The crow were held under an armed
giiurd while the ship was In port un
dergoing repairs, and there was no
chance for any of them to desert, al
though all were eager to get away.
After lying In port for some weeks
another start was made to the waters
of the frozen North.
This tlmo the machinery did not fall
and they sailed and steamed north
ward, passing Alaska, rounding Cape
Nome till they were off Ranks' Land,
aud rounding Point Barrow 900 miles
east. On tht voyage they reached
and entered the" Northwest Passage,
and touched latitude 73 degrees north
as the farthest point north. This Is
within 1(5 degrees as far north as
Peary reached.
v ; Fall In with Explorers.
In the winter of 1905 they fell In
with Amundsen, the famous explorer,
at the mouth of' the MacKeiule, and
sailed along with him for two months
while their courses lay in the same
direction. Walker describes him as
quiet and unassuming, and altogether
companionable. Ho was the only one
of his crew who could speak English,
and frequently visited the Uowhead.
The whaler fell In with another ex
plorer who was trying to reach the
pole, Harrison, the Englishman,
whom the crew dubbed, "Jack, the
Snapper." He planned to reach the
pole by a dash over the ice, but could
find no natives who were willing to
go with him. His attempt had to be
Abandoned for this reason.
Still another man who thought to
reach the coveted North Pole that the
whHler met up with was a Swede who
sailed in the ship lhichess of Bedford.
Ho had been out three years with no
chances of success, and he, too, had
to abnudon the search.
There were ten ships In the whaling
fleet of which the Bowhead made a
part, and on this voyage of disaster
one of them, the Alexander, was lost.
She was-caught-in the lce and ground
to pieces by the huge cakes.
Becomes Familiar "with Natives.
During the' .winter mnnths when
they were; -frozen in the ice, Walker
had some opportunity to become fami
liar with some . of the natives and
learned to speak some of the Eski
mo language. H0 describes the Eski
mos as a filthy people, of a low grade
of Intelligence, and brutal in their
Instincts. They d0 not make good
sailors because of their clumsiness In
climbing the rigging. ' Some of them,
however, he says, are good boat
steerers, and the Bowhead had two
natives to steer the small boats.
The trip was a success financially
for the Bowhead. Eleven whales were
caught, the bone of which at $0.50 a
pound brought about $15,000. The
whales taken were of the Bowhead
species, so called from the shape of
tlM head. These whales are larger
that the Sperm whales, and have
more hone, although not so much oil.
Each of the whales captured would
average from eighty to a hundred
barrels of oil. Not all of the oil was
tried out, but the Bowhead added to
her cargo 400 barrels in all.
Privations and Cruelty.
Of the privations endured on the
trip and of the cruelty of the captain,
Walker has much to say. The captain,
John A. Cook, a down east man who
halls from Brockton, Mass., is now un
der indictment In San Francisco for
cruelty to his men. The suit against
him is being prosecuted by District
Attorney Benjamin McKinley and F.
R. Wall, and Walker has been before
the grand jury as a witness. He ex
pects to be called back to San Fran
cisco any day, and thinks likely he
will have to geo East to testify, for he
says the case will be transferred to
a Massuchussetts court.
He is perfectly willing to give his
testimony against the captain, for he
says a bigger bully never walked the
deck. Various members of the crew
attempted at different times to dosort,
himself among them. When things
bocame so bad he could stand the
treatment no longer, he, with some
companions started to cross the Ice
when they were frozen In during the
winter, although thef did not know
where they were going, nor what they
could live on. One of the Eskimos in
the crew after being beaten by the
captain put the muzzle of a rifle to
his head and blew the top of his heaJ
oir. .
Once, he says, after a boat had beea
upset urd tl.ey had bee, rescued, the
captain lefuseti tj allow thsni 1o
change their wet clothes, i;nd would
not even give them grog to warm
them. He tells further of tin captain's
cruelty In placing the crew in Irons
when, after insufficient fond they had
become so weak that they could not
work. Blows and beatings, he says,
were of every-day occurence.
Walker s experience has thoroughly
cured him of any further longing t.)
o to sea, and he has secured a posi-
tlon In a store In San Francisco. He
will be at horiie for a few days, but
expects to be called back to San Fran
cisco to give. further testimony in the
case against Cook next week.
Pioneer Butter Man.
T. S. Townsend Is the man who in
vented creamery butter. He is also
one of the discoverers of Oregon
cheese.
The year 1893 was an epoch one In
the history of the dairying Industry
of this commonwealth, for during that
year Mr. Townsend began his butter
and cheese factory at Tillamook. For
years he has been traveling over the
Northwest, looking for a. suitable
plant of this .sort, but various things
worked against the different points he
looked over until he arrived at Tilla
mook. Here he learned that all of the farm
ers raised fine milch cows, had plenty
of gooil feed for them the year around,
and that a butter and cheese factory
was wanted there. Mr. Townsend at
once got busy securing pledges from
the farmers to sell their milk to him.
He soon secured contracts for the
milk from several hundred cows, and
the first first-class modern creamery
Ui Oregon was started by T. S. Town
send, president of the T. S. Town
lend Creamery Company, of this city.
Mr. Townsend learned the A B Cs
of this business in Iowa more than a
score of years ago. He began at the
very beginning, learning first to milk
a cow so as to secure all of the "strip
pin's." After several years in Tilla
mook, no wthe cheese capital of the
Pacific Coast. Mr. Townsend moved to
Astoria, where he started another
large creamery. Later he moved to
Portland. His company now has
creameries in tills city, in Astoria, Sa
lem, and Lyons, Or. His business
during 190(i wus 55 per cent greater
than during 1905, and the proceeds
during the Lewis and Clark year were
some 70 per cent greater than in 1904.

Mr. Townsend la ever "on the. look
out for the very best things in cream
erylHin. His latest Improvement is a
waxed carton, in which the butter
made at his plants is packed. These
cartons were waxed tooth Inside and
out, and so arranged that, when closed
no speck .of dirt or microbe can enter.
Mr. Townsend's cartons are three
years ahead of the pure food laws
which are now being passed. This al
so keeps the butter solid and cooler
than the old-fashioned methods of
wrapping It. The cartons are made to
hold butter in one and two-pound lots.
But In order to make assurances
doubly sure Mr. Townsend 'has the
butter wrapped ltf fine oiled paper be
fore being packed In the cartons. In
this manner this foodstuff can be ship
ped hundred of miles, and at the end
of the journey be as solid and as
clean as when It left the creamery.
