Angeles for 14 years, where he is con nected with the electric street railway company. Mr. Wills decided to visit his old home once more. He has a sister, Mrs. Mary E. Hatton, living at Oregon City, whom he particularly desired to see. When he decided to come to Portland Mr. Wills selected as the proper time for his visit the occasion of the annual reunion of the Oregon Pioneers' Asso ciation. He brought with him another sister, Mrs. Caroline Underwood, of Humboldt County, California. At Ore gon City the brother and two sisters, who came West together from Burling ton, la., so many years ago, held a family reunion. Comrades of '55 to Be Met. I wanted to have this reunion," said Mr. Wills . yesterday. "And 1 wanted to come at this time so I could meet all my old friends at the pioneers' gath ering. My old comrades of the Indian war of '55 and '56 will be there, and I may never see them again." Mr. Wills said that he was born in 1837, and felt that he was getting on In years. He hardly looks his age, being clean shaven, sturdy, erectly built and pleasant. Portland was about the size of 1111- waukie today when I first came here," said the pioneer. "In those early days have heard many a citizen and bus ness man argrue that a railroad from the East would never be built out here. I wish they could get up out of their graves and look at this city now. I can remember when Henry Ladd was grub Ding stumps here, and I could be a millionaire if I had taken up some of the downtown property that was so cheap in the early days." Residing, as he did. in Oregon and Washington from 1853 to about 1301, Mr. Wills witnessed great growth in Portland and a part of the industrial progress of the Willamette Valley. But when he returned last week after an absence of 14 years he was, to use his own words, simply amazed. Business of City Surprise. Everything he saw surprised and pleased him. The downtown buildings the streetcar lines running everywhere the beautiful residences on the heights. the ever-present roses, the crowded streets and the bustle were all de lightful to him. Coming up the river Mr. Wills was astonished at the wharves and the shipping and the business of the port He knew Portland when it had but one wharf. Listening to a description of the growth of the city and its environments from a man who had known It as a straggling little town many years ago gave some idea of the tremendous forces which have been at work so many years to build up the present city. "It will be a great city, said the pioneer. "Portland has all the produc tive valley and the state and the Wash ington farm country back of it; why shouldn't it be a great city?" he asked. No lifelong resident of Portland could possibly have a greater regard and a more optimistic outlook for the future of the city than Mr. Wills. Los Angeles Is some city, he says, but he could find no unfavorable comparison in Portland. Public Posts Held. During his long residence in this part of the country Mr. Wills engaged in several lines of business. He ran a store at Hillsboro for a time, and later bought out and ran the Courtney Meek farm. He went over to Washington and served as Sheriff of Klickitat County in 1881 and 1882. He was Dep uty United States Marshal at Yakima from 1888 to 1892. During the Indian war he responded to the call of Governor Curry, of Ore gon Territory, and served in the field with the First Oregon Mounted Volun teers. He participated in an engage ment at Twin Buttes and in numerous skirmishes.
