ed the rest of the lecture hour, the
question of bonding the district for a
new high school building being discuss,
ed by various parties, many of whom
were strictly against bonding but ad
mitted the need of the bulding and
favored voting a direct tax. The fol
lowing were the main speakers: A. C.
and "Buzz" Thomas, A. J. Morrison,
Mr. Hanneberg, Ed. Littlepage, against
bonding. Miss Barton made a good
speech saying it did not matter to he'
how we raised the money, but pointed
out the need of vocational training
for the boys here. Miss Barton is as
sistant principle of the union high,
and sees a large future for this school.
Mrs. Allen spoke for the new building

Interest Is Growing
In Coming Election
SANDY. March 15. What are we
going to do about it? The special elec
tion called for the purpose of votins
bonds to build a new high school house
was snowed under. But the necessity
remains for a building regardless cr
the expression of the people last Sat
urday. Everyone from this section ad
mits the need, however, but most or
them object to bonding the district
and say if an election is called to vote
a direct tax that it will carry. This is
a serious matter, and deserves the best
thought of every good citizen in the
six districts and deserves it at once:
We have the opportunity to build up
one of the best high schools in the
state, Ask the teachers, and they will
tell you there are as fine minds among
the youth here as can be found any
where, and they need development!
We especially need vocational privi
leges. the opinion of Miss Barton,
the assistant principal, and we nee!
8 11 that goes with a good equipment.
Are we unable to educate our own?
Let us hang together in this import
ant matter, is the sentiment of the
level headed citizens, and build up our
own institution rather than that of
others!

Old Timer Tells
Of Pioneer Days
SANDY, March 14. Extracts from
the "memoranda" ot J. H. L. Maybee,
a "near pioneer" who came to the San
dy country in '73 from Kansas will be
of Interest to all the "old-timers" as
well as the younger generation who
has only to read how their grand
father pioneered to see they do not
have it "so worse." "I paid $85 for a
third class emigrant ticket from Kan
sas City to Portland and was nine
days on the road, as the coaches were
hitched to a freight train in those
days ! It took seven day's to reach As
toria on the old side-wheel "Stevens,"
and 'it was at Astoria I did my first
work In Oregon, which was sawing a
cord of wook in to twice and carrying
up stairs for $1.50! But I did no like
Oregon at first and went back east
three times before I decided to stay
and take up a homestead. In '84 I de
cided to settle down and be a "Web
foot," so'homiesteaded on what lattes
day folks call Hill Crest, built my cab
in and shared it wth my horse the first
wnter because the weather was so
stormy', however,- we had an under
standing that he stay at the other end
of the cabin. J. H. Weever was the
saw mill man then, as he had bough
out the first "makins," and moved It
over to his homestead. I wonder if he
remembers it took me four months to
get the lumber for my house.
In '88 I was married to Minnie Sa
mantha Cline. W. F. Bacon, Justice of
the Peace tying the knot so tight that
it never came loose! We lived twenty-
sevens years on that claim, clearing an
' average of one acre a year. It took my
twenty dollars a month! At that time
there were only three or four houses
in Sandy, Otie Sholi, the only "real
live Count" Sandy ever had flourished
then as post master and when he want
ed to go to the Baloon (which was
often, for the Count was always)
thirsty) he would close the office, take
the mail along with him and distribute
it niece- by niece as folks dropped, in
to pass the time of day or get a drink:
1 Whatever mail was left he carried
back to the office, which was a small
house on a lot where Wolfe's ola
saloon building now stands. People
talk a lot about roads these days, why!
it took three day when I took old
- rjoll" and the cart and drove to Port-
land to get three doors and ' seven
windows for my house. There was just
one mud hole then between Sandy and
Portland and that was' twenti-six
miles long, with a' few rails thrown in
to helD a-body through the worst
r ., -
places! In those days the deer woule
come to my cabin and eat potato peel
ings at night, and one day.I went hunt
ing and had a big buck killed, dressed
and hung up in the wood-shed In just
eighteen minutes.
One time when writing to a friend
back east I told him I had been cutting
down a tree that was three and a half
feet ia diameter and two hundred and
twelve feet long. He wrote back and
wanted .to know if I had cut down the
only big tree in Oregon. And when I
wrote - about getting sixteen gunny
sacks of smelt out of the Sandy that.
too, was considered a "fish" story, but
when I wrote back describing the
timber, game, fish, etc., "Bob" wrote
back and said I had got to be a ter
rible liar since I came West! "Bob
wag like the old man in Boston who
didnt believe his son's tales abqut
California's wonderful productions, so
the son sent back a big pumpkin by
xpress, C. O. D. and after his father
had to pay sixteen dollars expressage
wrote as follows: "Son, I believe all
you said about what grows out there,
but for God's sake don't send any more
pumpkins!"
William and Fred Waespie, Mr.
Stevens and myself were three months
digging the grade up what is now call
ed the Hill Crest hill (Harvey Cross
will remember) as it was then known
as the Cross hill. We never received
a cent for that hard labor, it was vol
unteer work, but who want to "volun-
tee" to help out road conditions now!
We had to pledge ourselves to dig a
wagon grade before the county would
grant the road!
The present school bell at Hill Crest
is one Tapp paid six dollars for in
Portland, sold it to me two years later
for four, I sold it to Katherwood when
I moved away for one dollar and he
donated it to the school.
Farmers complain of low prices now,
but I sold hay for six dollars a ton in
those days and took it out in work. I
bought butter from Coleman for
thirty cents a roll and worked it out
at" a dollar per day. Many's the time
I went to Pleasant home with buttei
before Sandy was big enought to have
any market, and got only thirty or
forty cents for two pounds,' and beef
was four cents dressed!
I wonder how many old residenters
remember that time when the French
sheepherder (I think it was '85 or '86)
was killed by a rock striking him on
the temple after the sheep had loosen,
ed the rocks on the canyon side and
seventy-five or a'hundred. sheep were
either killed or crippled as they fell
over the bluff near Mt: Hood? After
the sheep owner hunted three or four
days for his man the body was located
and he sent for Clackamas County offi
cials to-come and hold an inquest, but
they sent word it was the- business o
Wasco Co. to look after it, but Wasco
refused and referred it back to Clack
amas. Dr. Smith of Eagle Creek was
then appointed a Coroner, and F. W.
Bacon was Justice of the Peace anil
John Revenue, J. H. L Maybee, H.
McGugin, Herrick, and I think P. Har
ris made up the jury. We all went to
.Government Camp, stayed all night,
and in the morning went'up the moun
tain. AV'e found the man had been
buried in the snow twice, but the snow
had melted away, so they finally
buried him in the sand and we had to
dig him out again and we held that
inquest above the timber line next vo
White river canyon. We carried cedar
boards "and made a box in which to
bury this poor Frenchman who had
not been able to speak a word 01 Eng
lish. We were three days on this trip
and most of the men who were my
companions on that gruesome journey
have now crossed over the big divide.
