GENESIS OF THE CAYUSE HORSE
The Present and the Future of Ore
gon's Most Productive County,
"With a Glance at Its
History.
(By a Staff "Writer.)
PENDLETON, April 12. Some weeks,
ago, -while in Medford, I was assured by a
citizen of the highest intelligence that
Jackson was "beyond question the best
county in Oregon." Two days later, at
Grant's Pass, I was told by a man of.
equal character and intelligence, that
Josephine was "by all odds the finest
county In the state." In Douglas, in
Lane, in Linn, in Marlon, In Yamhill
(where I know it to be true, for I am na
tive there), In "Washington, I have heard-
somethlng to the same effect. And here
in the land of bunchgraes I find truth
risen asraln. for at least 100 times and
from 100 veracious sources I have heard
within the past four days that Umatilla
Is "ahead of any other county in the State
of Oregon." And, in truth, as one rides
over the Umatilla uplands, at this season
tinged with the colors of Spring; as one
i looks upon the vastness and the richness
of a land whose boundaries everywhere
lie beyond the horizon; as there unrolls
before the eye unnumbered images of
beauty the cultivated field, 'hillsides
ranged by countless herds, the gleaming
'river, the distant mountains, blue as the
deep tea and crowned with snow one is
more than half convinced that the voice
last in his ear was the true voice. At least
one finds it easy to sympathize with the
local vanity and enthusiasm. It Is, per
haps, useless to inquire if Umatilla be the
best "county in Oregon or not; certainly It
Is good enough; and there can be no harm
If to its own people It is the finest land
the sun shines on.
By a curious effect of Ignorance and
conceit the two things commonly go to
getherWestern Oregon regards all East
ern Oregon as pioneer country; and it is
commonly with a sense of surprise that a
man from our side of the mountains finds
conditions on this side as "settled" and
In many respects far more advanced than
the Willamette "Valley. Somehow the mind
Is not prepared for the schoolhouse at
every crossroads, for the chime of the
church-going bell, for the general look of
estabhshed and permanent civilization
everywhere in evidence. Neither, I add
with some hesitation. Is a man from the
Willamette country prepared for the thou
sand manifestations which illustrate the
superior energy and thrift of the Eastern
Oregon towns. There is for example a
"go' about Pendleton which no town of
double its size in Western Oregon can
match. A combination of fire bells and a
,. brass band pould not,, for example, give
tto-'CommercIalstree?rln Salem,' One-half
the Jook of "vivacity and business energy
which mark the dullest day of the week
at Pendleton.
.
When this difference between east of the
mountains and west of the mountains Is
mentioned, the explanation Is commonly
referred to that overworked bearer of
many burdens the climate. Climate, I
have no doubt, has something to do with
it, but conditions of climate alone can
hardly account for the tremendous con
trast exhibited by comparison of the two
parts of our Oregon country. "Climate, in
deed, has its influence, both as it affects
the working spirit of the human animal
and as it serves to shorten the productive
season of the Western Oregon lands, but
this alone does not explain it. Eastern
Oregon, while long past the pioneer stage,
is still relatively new country. Its
population has come to It largely within
the past 25 years; and It has come out
of what may be called the modern and
disciplined conditions of American life.
Eastern Oregon is largely filled up with
people who came originally from those
parts of the country where systematic In
dustry on productive lines has been""long
established and largely developed. The
people came from the active and thrifty
parts of the country. They brought with
them, generally speaking, some capital,
and, better still, the training and habit
of systematic and organized industry.
The country, too, is an open one. Lands )
which today are as Nature made them
may be plowed next week; and every
square yard even of a new place
excepting the little space occupied by
farm buildings may be turned to instant
productive account. Again, Eastern Ore
gon is relatively new country, and as yet
few of those who came as settlers and
this includes pretty much the whole ef
fective population have reached old age.
The property of the country is generally
in energetic and capable hands. Eastern
Oregon has from the beginning been a
good poor man's country. Its conditions
have not been such as to make anybody
very rich or to leave anybody very poor.
The wealth of the country and it is very
considerable Is widely distributed; every
body has some of it, and this fact makes
an active local life.
And the climate, while not responsible
for all that is charged to its account, is
still an important factor in the case. It
is high, dry and bracing; it has unques
tionably a stimulating effect upon animal
spirits. A bunchgrass horse may be driven
in .the forenoon a distance which would
kill a Willamette-bred horse, be driven
back over the same road In the afternoon
and come up fresh on the bit the next
morning. Something gives the bunch
grasser better wind and better endurance
and it is a something which affects men
as well as horses. Go Into a political
convention or any kind of meeting which
brings together citizens from, all parts
of the state, and one glance is sufficient to
Identify the delegates from east of tho
mountains. They have a certain out-of-door
look a ruddiness of complexion, an
aspect of superior vitality which marks
them at once. Invite one of them to the
bar and he will take straight goods;
when he orders eggs he expects the waiter
to bring him three. All of which indi
cates that there Is an abundance of
oxygen in the air he habitually breathes.
Another explanation of the business ac
tivity of Pendleton lies in the large pur
chasing capacity of the people of Uma
tilla County.' The gross cash income of
the county last year from products sold to
the outside world was about 43,500,000, or
something like $150 for every man, woman
and child within the county limltfi. The
list of commodities thus given to the
world of commerce includes 5,000,000 bush
els of wheat, 750,000 hushels of barley,
300,000 sheep. 2,500,000 potmds of wool, $25,
000 worth of cattle, fruit to the value of
$250,000, with horses, hay, oats and mis
cellaneous products to the value in the
aggregate of not less than $1,000,000. There
is one curious fact connected with this
large production, which contributes to the
activity of trade, and therefore to the
volume .of business done in the towns and
the general business animation of the
country. It Is that nearly every producer
deals with a single product. There is very
little of that all-round, diversified farming
which makes every farmstead an Inde
pendent center of life. In Eastern Ore
gon, .and in Umatilla, as elsewhere, the
whole energy of each man Is largely given
to one line of work and -production. Do
mestic supply comes not out of the soil,
but from the nearest store. Every pro
ducer sells the whole of his wheat, wool,
livestock or what-not for cash, and looks
to the storekeeper to find by Importation
the things required for his household.

This, perhaps, is not an ideal organiza
tion of domestic Industry, but it does
make an active business and contributes
to the animation of the towns.
Industry in Umatilla County, while long
established upon a systematic and strenu
ous basis, Is still concerned chiefly with
original conditions; it is still a matter of
exploiting the native bounty of the coun
try. With one or two exceptions, to be
noted in detail later on, local enterprise i
deals only with raw products: further
more, its operations are limited to a few
leading lines. Much that might be done
is not done because the supply either of
labor or of capital is not equal to it, and
because there is no local necessity to push
people Into new projects. Similarly, and
for similar reasons, nothing has been done
to bring into productiveness great areas
of country now estimated of little value.
Land is so abundant and so cheap that it
seems not worth while to make available
the more elevated, dry and so-called waste
aeas. There is a great work here to be
dotie at some future time, and when it
shall be done Umatilla County will be a
vastly richer country than anybody now
dreams of. The intrinsic potentiality d
these so-called waste lands is a fact well
understood; their present relative unpro
ductiveness Is due to the fact that they
are poorly watered. But this is not al
ways to be.
The water supply Is abundant and un
failing. Its sources He in tho great re
servpir of, the Blue Mountain range; and
It is distributed widely by natural chan
nels. Capital with the skill of the en
gineer will one day take these waters
from the channels through which for ages
they have run to waste and carry them to
the thirsty heights; and when that shall
be done Umatilla County will find herself
transformed In innumerable ways. Her
production will be multiplied, her popula
tion will grow beyond the wildest hope
of the present, her Industry will take new
forms-, and all this will remodel her com
munity character In ways which no "man
certainly no man in the county now
thinks of.
Another great and advantageous change
is destined to come to Umatilla County
and to the town of Pendleton In particular
through the breaking up of tho Uma
tilla Indian reservation. Tho reserved
lands, which are among the best In the
country, have been granted "In severalty"
that Is, they have been divided among
the Indians but under conditions which
make their alienation at this time Impos
sible. Some 13 or 14 years from now, the
right to give title will belong to the In
dian owners, and when it comes it will
not be. long before the whole vas tract
wil pass into the ownership of white
men. The lands are farmed now by white
men under the lease system, and they
yield a prodigious product of grain. But
the present system la merely one of ex
ploitation. It makes no homes; it leaves
the land each season a little poorer than
before. When In process of time the res
ervation lands shall fall under civilized
ownership, what is now a beautiful but
silent and almost uninhabited district will
teem with life and industry. Where a
thousand squalid savages live there will
be tec thousand civilized people; there
will be homes, schoolhouses, and churches.
And Umatilla ounty will be Immensely
better for the change.
Under present conditions tho county
does not make -much growth. Newcomers,
who are usually from the northern parts
of the great Middle West, do not find
in Umatilla County ju3t the conditions
to which they have been accustomed,
and, unless they stay long enough to get
an inside view into things and to grow
into some sort of local sympathy, they are
more likely to pass on than to remain.
Each Immigrant seeks In a new country
something like his former home; and Uma
tilla County looks strange and foreign to a
man accustomed to the wooded country
of Wisconsin and Iowa. Again, the In
dustries of the county, being on what
may be called a primary basis, do not at
tract the interest of people who are used
to a more varied kind of work and pro
duction. If the Immigrant is not Inter
ested in some phase of the stock busi
ness or in grain growing and Tiot one
In 40 are he is more likely to move on
than to remain. Every part of the Pa
cific Coast suffers from this propensity
from the difficulty which uewcomersTneet
in finding what they are looking for.; I
am convinced that pretty much all that
we have done in an organized way toward
inducing immigration has been so much
effort wasted; and the reason is thatour
way has always been to throw out a
dragnet and take all comers without ref
erence to who or what they are, or of
what we have to offer them. It is a sys
tem which makes no effort to suit the
particular man to the particular situa
tion. It often sends the small farmer to
the uplands of Eastern Oregon and the
grain farmer to the grass lands of Clat
sop. It results, of course, in disappoint
ment all round; in five cases out of ten
it sends the intending settler back to his
former home in disgust, there to remain
a practical enemy of a country In which
he sought but did not find establishment.
We shall do better when, In our efforts
to gain new population, we, learn, to dis
criminate in such way as to Invite to our
different sections only such persons as are
likely to find there conditions to their
taste and purpose.
In one form or another the stock inter
est dominates the Industry and the general
life of Umatilla County. Grain, perhaps,
brings in as much money, but It employs
fewer people, makes fewer homes, has a
less obvious relation to the general local
activities than the livestock Industrie
PASSES EXAMINATION
FOR A LIEUTENANCY
IN THE INFANTRY.
THE DALLES. Or., April 12.
A- J. Cooper, ,son of D. J.
Cooper, of this city, has just re
ceived official notice from tho
Adjutant-General's ofllce, at
Washington, that he successfully
passed the examination for a
Lieutenancy In the Infantry arm
of the United States Army, and
in duo course of time will re
ceive an appointment thereto.
On February 25, ilr. Cooper wan
notified to appear before an ex
amining board in San Francisco
on March 8, a date which pre
cluded any practical preparation
for the examination. Mr. Cooper
was born and brought up in The
Dalles, where he has lived all
his life and received his educa
tion. Upon the outbreak of the
Spanish "War he was one of the
first In the community to volun
teer and served in Company L,
of the Second Oregon, through
out the Philippine campaign. He
Is 22 years of age, an all-around
athlete, and highly popular with
his associates.
with which, of. course, wool must be reck
oned. In a former paragraph I have given
the general statistics covering the annual
production In stock, and in other lines,
and I will not go Into details again further
than to say that nowhere in Oregon or
anywhere else can better breeds of stock
be found. 'Whatever else may be said of
the Umatilla people, they are up to date
In all the lines of their business activity.
They do not, for example, go on breeding
the old and poorer grades of stock just
because these grades happened to get a
footing in the county In pioneer days.
The Improved breeds were brought Into
the county more than 25 years ago, and
whenever there has been opportunity for
Improvement by Introduction of new blood
advantage has promptly been taken of It.
Today, therefore, the stock of Umatilla
is as good in quality as may be found
anywhere. r
In this connection. It Is interesting to
note a striking local illustration- of some
thing said earlier In this writng about the
effect of climate and general conditions
upon animal spirits and endurance. In
what Is known as the rim-rock district of
Umatilla County a high and dry section
there are produced horses of the very
lbest wind and mettle, strong and hardy
In every way the very best type of the
bunchgrass horse. But in the lower coun
try, near the Columbia River, where the
soil Is sandy and loamy, where there is
more moisture both in soil and atmos
phere, and where the grazing grounds are
practically level, the very same breeds of
horses soon run down to relative worth
lessness. Their wind Is short, their hoofs
have no resistance, their muscular devel
opment Is poor, and they "go all to pieces"
under usage which only serves to keep
tile horse of the rim-rock country in ap
petite. The day of the cayuse. horse has, of
course, gone by. But In moving about
this country, and especially over the
ranges of the Indian reservation, one falls
Inj with bands of ponies whose small size
and piebald coats betray the sources of
their descent. Here, as elsewhere, these
little fellows are held in contempt, but It
isa contempt founded in ignorance of
their history. The truth is that the cay
use horse the horse of native Indian
stock Is one of the bluest-blooded beasts
In- the world, tracing back directly to the
fountalnhead of all good horseflesh the
warm-blooded Arabian. The Saracens
the soldiers of the faith of Mahomet
brought the Arabian horse Into the Bar
bary States In the course of their wars
and conquests 14 centuries ago, and do
mesticated him there. A hundred years
later, or 13 centuries ago, the Moors ad
vanced Into Spain, and, during the three
centuries in which they held possession
pt that country, thoroughly domesticated
their various breeds of livestock, includ
ing the horse of Arabian descent. Five
or six centuries later the Spaniard oc
cupied large parts of America, including
Mexico, and brought to the new world,
originally horseless, the breeds of his own
coiintry. The native or cayuse horse is
the descendant of the Spanish horse
brought Into Mexico by the Spanish con
querors of that country. The line of de
scent, it will be seen, Is a long one, but
It Is also an unbroken one. And there
can be no question as to the fact that the
Indian pony of Eastern Oregon is of the
royal Arab stock, close kin to the Eng
lish thoroughbred, of Arabian descent.
He'ls, too, of far more aristocratic breed
ing than the many more pretentious
breeds of modern origin.
In-breeding, hard fare and hard usage
have reduced the size and somewhat mod
ified the form of the cayuse horse, as
compared with his Arabian forbears, but
updn critical inspection there may be
found in him the distinguishing marks
of his race. What we call the "cayuse
eye" ils, in truth, one of the common
marled of the Arab horse; the same with
the mottled or moth-marked nose and
head, ;so common in the cayuse as he
gets on in years. Like the Arab, the cayS
use has almost uniformly fine hoofs and
good legs; and, again, like the Arab, his
natural gaits are the walk and the can
ter. He is not easily trained to trot, and
never succeeds in doing It well. The
characteristic for which the Arab Is pre
eminent among beasts Is his power of. per
sistent endurance at high speed. Here,"
too, is 'the strong point of our native
horse. Who of those who lived in. this
country "In the early days does-not recal
the wonderful feats of the horses of those
days? Is there a horse In Oregon to
day that can make the journey under

saddle, over mid-Winter roads, from Ore
gon City to Corvallis in one day and back
the next? I doubt it. But I remember
when this was done by a little, cayuse not
much bigger than a St. Bernard dog; and
any old-timer will recall scores of other
equally astonishing feat of strength and
endurance. It was, I make no doubt, the
Arab blood, 14 centuries removed from
Its fountain head, but nevertheless pure,
which gave to the Indian horse those won
derful qualities which, In , spite of hl3
many bad traits, so well served the pio
neer in his firsf contact with this wilder
ness. But civilization has failed to recognize
the potentialities of, the cayuse horse,
and Is rapidly pushing him off the face of
the earth. But before the work of elimi
nation Is complete, I hope some horse
breeder with a touch of sentiment in his
heart will make an effort to see what
can be done with the cayuse blood un
der fostering conditions. There is so much
of good stuff in the cayuse that it seems
a pity to let the race die 6ut without an
effort to preserve its finer qualities and
'engraft them upon the more-modern type
of horse.
The historical beginnings of Umatilla
County or, perhaps, it would be better
to say the Umatilla country lie far back.
It is preserved in the records of the Astor
party, by which Astoria w13 founded In
1S12, that. In the course of Its westward
march, It followed the descending course
of the Umatilla River. One of It3 many
camps must have been not far from where
Pendleton now stands. Their journal de
scribes the fertility of the country and,
the astonishing number and quality "of
the Indian - horses. Later the Umatilla
was a favorite route for. the Immigrant
caravans on the way to the Willamette
country; and It was a common practice
of the wayfarers to halt on the banks
of , the beautiful river and refresh their
jaded animals. Scores and hundreds o
cayuse ponies were bought by the immi
grants from the Indians and taken into
the Willamette country, in which in early
times the cayuse horse was the main agent
of passenger transportation.
But while the Umatilla country was thus
passed- over by many or most of those
who came Into Oregon by the plains route,
nobody ever thought of settling there, for,
by some curious want of judgment, It
was lpoked upon a3 a country uninhabita
ble by white people. It was not until
the rushtto the mines In the Boise country
in ISGO-l'that the value of the Umatilla
country from an agricultural point of view
was recognized. It lay on the main route
to the mining districts, and -stations were
soon established for the entertainment of
travelers. It did not take long for these
stations to grow into permanent settle
ments, and it was only a few years un
til adventurous settlers came in such
numbers as to give the country a civilized
character. By 1S62 there was a suffi
ciently organized community to demand
and secure a separate county system,
which was created by cutting off the
Umatilla region from Wasco County,
whose jurisdiction covered practically the
whole of Eastern Oregon country.
From that day until now the progress
of the country has been steady. The en
ergies of the first settlers were given al
most wholly to stockraising, in one or
another form; but, with the development
of transportation graingrowlng became a
great industry, and has continued to be
until this time. At first It was supposed
that grain could be grown advantageous
ly only on the lower and relatively moist
lands, but experience has shown that
some of the best and most continuously
productive lands of the Umatilla country
are those which the first settlers passed
by, upon a presumption of their worth
lessness. This experience has been du
plicated In the Walla Walla country, and
It Is a very suggestive fact, not wisely
to be forgotten in estimating the value of
the whole region of Eastern Oregon. My
own judgment or, perhaps, I would bet
ter say my guess Is that large parte of
the country now supposed to be valueless
excepting for range will be found under
practical test suited for production of
many profitable kinds. Lands which will
grow bunchgrass in such luxuriance as It
Is found In great areas of "range country"
have in them potentialities of the highest
sort, and the fact that they may not under
present conditions be applied to produc
tive' uses does not establish the theory
that they are worthless. I believe that
the time will come when the most pro
ductive and valuable lands In the Colum
bia River basin will be areas which are
now reckoned aa waste and all but value
less. There are several good, towns In Uma
tilla County, but I have seen but one of
them In the course of this hurried trip.
Pendleton, according to. the census," had
a population of nearly 5000 when the Na
tional census was last taken. But it has
made rapid growth In the last three years,
and now, beyond a doubt. It has close
upon 6000 people. It Is a city of wonder
ful energy, and draws trade from many
sources far away from Its Immediate field.
On the south its trade field may be said
to extend almost to the southern bound
ary line of the state; and It finds some
business In the mining regions which lie
on the eastern side of the Blue Mountain
range. Some of Its stores are more sug
gestive of a large city and of metropoli
tan business than of a town of 6000 peo
ple. Owing to its proximity to the Uma
tilla Indian reservation, Pendleton is the
center of what is left of the Indian. trade
In -Eastern Oregon. It is not much of a
business, for the Indian is no great con
sumer of merchandise, but his presence
gives to the streets of Pendleton an as
pect of the highest Interest to every vis
itor. There is not, I think, any other
town in the country where troops of In
dians, rigged out In the gaudy blankets
which have come to be their characteris
tic dress, make up every day's street pic
ture. As yet Pendleton Is almost wholly a
trading center. A flouring mill and a
woolen mill both very considerable es
tabllshments aro about the only organ
ized industries devoted to working up the
raw materials of the country into finished
products. But the conditions including
water power-wire here for a very large
manufacturing Industry, when in the
course of general progress the time for
manufacturing Industry shall come.
"Pendleton still has the air of a fron
tier town. TJiis Is largely due to the sort
of business it does, and, to aconslderable
extent, to the ever-present Indian. It is, in
fact, a .town In which there Is an unusually
good organization of social forces. The
schools are good and well maintained;
the churches are all that they should be.
All the conditions or social life are on a
reasonable and wholesome basis.
