OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1907.
FIRST WHITE CHILD
BORN IN OREGON CITY
SAW THE LOQ CABINS OF THE
HUDSON BAY COMPANY.
HANGING OF WHITMAN MURDERERS
Hat Seen City Grow From Struggling
Village to a Modern Placo
of Commercial Importance.
Born in Oregon City 63 years ago,
the first whita child born here and
the third native born white son, that
saw the first peep of day In Oregon,
Is facts connected with the his
tory of Sidney Richardson, now a fa
miliar figure on Main street. His
mother was the wife of the late S.
W. Moss, a pioneer of 1S42, and Mrs.
T. V. Clark, prominent in social cir
cles Is his sister.
Sir. Richardson has seen Oregon
City grow from a struggling Hudson
Bay company trading station, the
buildings constructed of logs and sur
rounded with tall timber to a modern
American city with all of the facili
ties made possible by an advanced
civilization. Mr. Richardson's earliest
recollections reaches back to the time
when this section of the country was
under the domination of British rule,
and the log houses that occupied a
place Just below the falls in the -vicinity
where the woolen mills, water
works, filtering plant and contiguous
business houses are now located. He
saw the Indians executed that had
murdered Dr. Whitman, the man that
saved Oregon to the United States.
The Indians had waylaid Dr. Whit
man in the vicinity of Walla Walla or
Wallulu, but they were not captured
and brought here for trial until 1S50.
Colonel Joe Meek the first marshal
of Oregon territory, was the execu
tioner, and it was a great event in the
early days of Oregon City.
The execution took place on a scaf
fold ejected where the water works
filtering plant now stands, but Rich
ardson says that his father would not
permit him to witness the hanging.
However, he obtained a good view of
the entire proceedings from among
the maple trees on the bluff. He says
that Marshal Joe Meek stepped around f
with apparent pride as though he was
going to deliver an oration. Meek
was married to an Indian woman and
was gratified in the executing one of
the particular Indians that had killed
his half-breed daughter.
Richardson says that he can remem
ber just how Meek looked at this time
as well as on other occasions that
the picture is as distinct as if it was J
only yesterday that he saw him. Mr.
Richardson also was intimately ac- j
quainted with Dr. John McLoughlin,
who virtually sacrificed his position
with the British government to aid
the early settlers from the Eastern
states. He regrets that some steps j
have not been taken to perpetuate Dr. j
McLoughlin's memory by a monument j
or in some other way. ;
Except 11 years spent principally j
in the woolen mills at Bardon and ;
North Bend in Coos county, returning 1
here 2f months ago, Mr. Richardson I
has spent his life in Oregon City. He 1
is remarkably well preserved, and
does not appear to be over 50. ;

The Limit of Life.
The most eminent medical scien
tists aro unanimous In tho conclusion
that tho generally accepted limitation
of human life Is many years below
the attainment possible with tho ad
vanced knowledge of which the race
Is now possessed. The critical perl-
id. that determines its durntlon,
seems to be between CO and CO; the
proper care" of the body during this
lecade cannot be too strongly urged;
carelessness then being fatal to long-
Ivlty. Nature's best helper after 50
is Electric Bitters, the sclentillc tonic
medicine that revitalizes every organ
of tho body. Guaranteed by Howell

The governor' normal school veto
was upheld by the seimle, Hedge
contending that the opinion of the
governor was right as far as tho con
stitutionality was concerned. Other
lawyer senators coincided with tho
view of the attorney general, Gov
ernor Chamberlain made his veto on
the ground that the right to limit the
normal schools to two was uucoustl
tpt tonal.
