WHEM SANTA eLAUS VISITED' PORTLAND 50 UEAKS AGO "THOSE WHO KFPT THE" JOY SHOPS ANP "OTHER PLACES OF BUSINESS WDNDER If Santa Claus remembers his visit at Portland 60 years ago? To be sure he, does, if his natural force is not abated, for isn't that far away Christmas graven in the memory of other living "witnesses? Dear -old Santa saw a village prouder than a city. Its merchants had made ready for his coming. They displayed the, best goods that the broad empire of the "West could furnish. , They advertised their goods in The Weekly Oregonlaa and Weekly Times. And a vigorous lot were the 700 inhabi tants of Portland. They had made a hard fight in the past three years to pull their town, out ahead of Mllwaukie, St. Helens and Oregon City. The fight cost them money, but "they didn't flinch. It cost them toil, but they didn't waver. They boasted of their victory, and painted their houses a neat white, while the other dingy towns turned greener with envy every day. Luckily Santa did not get mired in. Front street, the single avenue of the metrop olis, else there might never have been another Christmas. Front street is count ed narrow in these modern times. But 50 years ago it was too wide; since- Its depths were post finding out. bo big -a city as of today. Didn't they establish a cemetery far beyond the city, on Washington street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, where "Plunder's floral gar dens are? And didn't they lay out an other cemetery In the vicinity of Second and Ahkeny, and still another at about Front and Glbbs? But let's cut out ceme teries and return to Santa. Portland's Early Independence. Luckily, the dear old fellow didn't need a train of cars to bring him here, or he would not have come until 30 years later. Fortunately, also, he was Independent -of steamships, else proud Portland might CLOTHIXG.ilAllDWARE, &c.,-&c.,v IX the Old Stand of Alien, J3frrtuj&i Ce.ear Glanders "Wliarf.t OryCeeda " " Bkskete While &rlt,WBagce Prlnts-rBlae, i&spy and shlaUl' Satinets, jeans, 4laeeyj .Denims, ticks; flxmiek ; Gieghams.

Well, the steamship about that time began to 'Btop at St. Helens, and the people of this town felt their dander rising: But they didn't let the steamship line have Its way; no indeed. They threw their patronage to a rival vessel and brought the other to Its senses right a.way. That's Portland. Santa could up and away quickly. Back of Second street he hardly needed to ven ture for thence westward was a dark continent and a shaggy forest. But If he did penetrate tho forest perhaps he saw vat Second and Jefferson streets tho Con gregational Church built two years be fore by Rev. Horace Lyman; at Third and Talor, the Methodist Church erected three on Fifth, between Couch and "David, the Catholic church founded by the effort of Rev. James Croke; on Seventh, between Columbia and Jefferson, the Portland Academy and Female Institute, estab lished in 1S50; on First, between Oak and Pine, the !meeting-house" built in 1843, and elsewhere dwellings that peered through the brush and trees. The Original Four Corners. If feanta paused onFront and Wash ington he saw the drlginal four corners, the germ of Portland, No electric arc swung its wavering light and shadows on those corners then. The only light was such as fled from windows of surround ing edlflcea for such they were In those days or rather on that Christmas eve. And did;., lines of electric lights run 'backward to the hills and bead Portland Heights? M No; not even in anybody's Imagination. That was beyond the ceme teries, you know, and why should the living city spread beyond the dead? Back of Second street was such a tangled wildwood as the lark delights to warble over In the good old Summer time and Jack Frost delights to mako glisten on frosty Christmas eves. On the southeast the venerable four corners stood a log building and next to it on Front street tho "shingle store." 'jui&t 'shinglo store' .was the veri- r i been removed from the Territorial Su preme Bench and Qbadlah B. McFadden put in his place by President Pierce? Wasn't one as good a Democrat as the other? Why .didn't other merchants than H. W. Corbett, Joslah Failing, Pillow & Drew and D. C. Coleman, improve Front Btreet for Santa Clats? Why was the Pacific Mail Steamship Company trying to build up St. Helens against Portland, and why were Lot Whltcomb and Captain Joseph Kellogg endeavoring to make Milwaukee the- chief city? Had not Linn City "below the Falls," turned out a failure? Also Mult nomah City, further down, and St. Johns and Linn ton and Milton? - ' First Steam -Sawmill. Through the dense tobacco smoke of the festal hall, the gentlemen wondered whether W. P. Abrams, who had Just built the steam sawmill, would make a success of his venture, and whether W. S. Ladd, who had just put up the first of contempt those days." "Society" there was none. The kid glove was a byword of disdain. "Caste" and "set" then were for the children of the town builders. On the northwest corner was the Can ton House, of General Stephen Coffin, one of the three proprietors of Portland. Part of that structure now supports its aged frame at the northeast corner of Front and Jefferson. Such was the center of Portland halt a century ago. Life was narrow, primitive, simple, humdrum, sequestered from the broad ac tivities of the. world. Today, news from New Tork and London is printed the same day it occurs; then it reached here six weeks and two months late. "Latest by the Mall," was the signal of The Ore- gonlan to Its readers. And a single page. once ft week served for editorial opin ion and for local and foreign news. Anx ious days those were for the politicians lest national politics might tako unknown swerves or national Issues be burled in "the states," while serving posthumous agitation' in, Oregon. The steamship Columbia came from San, Francisco with "Latest by Mall" -every two weeks. Her arrival was a tre mendous fortnightly event. An ancient culverin stood sentinel on the dock, and when-the Columbia hove in sight, boomed tho news through the towns Oftentimes the tculvertn spoko' out ia the middle of the night and citizens turned out to chew the better end of a boyish Joke. This made the conscript fathers very angry. Indeed, and they called to Marshal Will iam. Grooms and-Recorder A. 6. Bonnell to inflict condign punishment. The Conscript Fathers. A survey of this page will show the leading firms in business ln1853. The ac companying advertisements are repro duced from The Oregonlan xf that time. The names stand for men whose vigor still enlivens the city. They were- the men who in 1S49, when Portland had 100, gave $2200 for a "meeting-house," wtfo In 1851, when, the population was 400, built the "Canyon Road" to Tualatin plains and drew tradeiram Oregon, City, Linn City, Multnomah City, Mllwaukie. Linn ton and St. Helens. -They are the men who in that same year expended ?60,000 for a -vessel, the Gold Hunter, to make Portland a port, and to offset the ambi tion, of St. Helens. In that year they established a free school, the Portland Academy and Fe male Institute, got a charter from the Legislature, built a water systeja to bring water from'Balch Creek, which now sup plies the lake at the Exposition grounds, erected the Congregational Church, the Canton House and tho Columbian Hotel! Those were) prosperous years for Port land 1S30 to 1S55 and Santa saw the best of them, two years later came .bloody Indian wars and hard times but what's the use of worrying about "the future. Let's hold to the past. Two Strains of Energy. General 'Llsh Applegate was not a town builder; neither were his fellow Mlssourl ans. Once upon a time Llsh paused from a flight of eloquence. His ear-raptured audience listened for something good to hear. f'W6 are men of the border," proclaimed tho General, "eternally and essentially nomads. We see no use in towns, except to raise h in." sNow whether Portland was -a good placo "to raise h in," may be more or less a matter of opinion. Certain it is that the town had plenty of gin and whisky. And certain It is that once upon a time drunkem Indians took possession 6f tho place. If recprd Is faithful to the truth, the town authorities appealed to Joe Meek, United States Marshal, who drove all tho In dians out of town at the end of a raw hide. But the anecdote of General Llsh Ap plegate is cited here for another pur pose, namely, to illustrate the difference between traders and producers as town builders. Most of the founders of Portland were traders from New England and New York. Most of the state builders were producers from tho Middle West. And one of the noteworthy exhibits of Oregon, history 13 the tendency of the two alignments to per sist even with the descendants of pio neers. The two types mingle reluctantly. Captain John H. Couch, who first ap preciated the commercial advantages of this site, was a native of New England; also Francis W. Pottygrove and A. L. Lovejoy, two of the earliest proprietors; likewise Captain Nathaniel Crosby, whose vessel, the Toulon, established Portland's reputation as a seaport In 1845; General Stephen Coffin, Captain J. C. Alnsworth. George H. Flanders, H. W. Corbett, W. S. Ladd. S. G. Reed, L. H. Allen, a H. Lewis, Tyler Woodward, Rev. Horace Ly man, Rev. Father Wilbur, Rev. G. H. Atkinson. From New Tork came Joslah Falling, E. J. jJorthrup, W. W. Chapman. A. M. Starr, James Te'rwllllger, H D. Green and T. J. Dryer, founder "of The Oregonlan. D. H. Lownsdale, foremost of Port land's proprietors, hailed from Kentucky. William Overton, who first dwelt on the site of Portland, but who did little .or nothing to build the city, was from Ten ncsseo; Benjamin Stark, of Louisiana, was a proprietor, but was a small factor in the growth of the town. D. P. Thomp son and Richard Williams were born in Ohio. P. A. Marquam's native- state is Maryland. If Santa Claus passed by the site of Portland in 1S43 he probably saw & wreath of smoke twisting above the trees and a man working on a hut That man was William Overton. He was the first to dwell here. He camped amonc went to Oregon. City or Vancouver. Over ton went somewhere else for he was hanged; at least that's the gruesome" tale. Overton sold the townslte,for an "out fit" worth 50, or rather that's all he got for it because fie disposed, of one half tovF. W. Pettygrove for tho ex pense of recording the. claim and the other half to A. L. Lovejoy for tho "out fit." There wasn't much for a town then except latitude 45 degrees, 20 minutes and longitude 27 degrees, 30 minutes, and trees 'till you couldn't rest. The sun shone when the sky was clear and the rain -fell in wetw eather even as now. Oregon City was . the metropolis and a dozen villages were started on the river bank. It looked blue for Port- -land, for a fact. the owners gave him tho triangular dis trict between the river and Stark and Ankeny streets. Couch, ownerN of the district north of Ankeny, gave a strip 30 feet wide for that street. Stark prom ised, to do the same on his side, so as to ( widen the street to.60 feet But he never did so. That's why Ankeny street is only 30 feet wide. Overton's price ot the 640-acre town site, a $50 outfit, Increased in l&ls to 15000 worth of leather. D. H. Lownsdale paid Pettygrove that much. Next year Lownsdale sold a half interest to Stephen Coffin and a few months later he and Coffin disposed of a one-third Interest to W. W. Chapman. The town then had 100 inhabitants. Times were hard, very. Then gold was discovered in California. All but three men, Lownsdale, Coffin and Hardly a penny did they bring, and the proprietors even gave them away. What was a lot -worth when a man could get 640 acres free from the government, and of just as good trees as ever whispered, in the breeze. Those trees were im mense, sometimes 300 feet long, and they nodded their tops defiantly, even when the townsmen got out their whlpsaws, smoothed with bacon grease. They were less in tho way when stand ing than when relied, and. besides, if let alone, they didn't raise blisters nor make sore muscles. The early settlers pondered that prob lem deeply, -jjes and philosophically. Though they might have had the pa tience of Uz and the brawn ot Titan they probably didn't delight in blistered hands and sore muscles. With 1S50 came the awakening. Men began to return fr,om the California mines, gold began to flow in, and wheat and flour and lumber began to go to Cali fornia. The men were not beauties when they got back, but they set upon a work that made Portland a seaport above all its rivals. Vessels now came frequently for cargoes. Two river steamboats wera built, the Columbia at Astoria, and tho Lot Whltcomb at Milwaukle. And now sprang up a newspaper to cry the voice of Portland. The newspaper leaped into v the arena full panoplied, a literary Pallas, to defend the town against slanderous neighbors. Editorial brains ground out copy, scissors, snapped, types- qllcked, Portland flew by Its own wlng3. and Tho Oregonlan had begun its ca reer. That was December 4, 1S50, and the pub- Usher was T. J. Dryer. "The inhabi tants," he declared in the first issue, "for intelligence and moral worth, are not surpassed by any town in the Eastern States. The buildings are mostly new with pure white coats of paint" That year W, S. Ladd came and grubbed nPEOPIiE'STilWJSf .The Steamers Multnomah. & Portland.. Afterthis dato the Slcamors .

The town had always been the butt of Jibes and Jeers.

CeremonlaJ of a Name. How Pettygrove named tho place Port land after the metropolis of Malno on tha toss of a copper cent, and how Love Joy wished to call it Boston is a familiar storyi Suffice, it -that the baptismal ceremony "was performed with due sol emnity in 1S45. Soon thereafter Lovejoy sold his half Interest to Benjamin Stark and went to Oregon City? But desolate stumps and lonesome trees had no charms for Stark and not long afterward ho left the coun try, supposedly for good. But ho re turned about 1850 and disputed tho own- tho firs and made shingles. Tho shingles I ershlp of the townslte.

Tho survivors of those trees still thrive above "Pennoyer's mlllr Many a youngster sees them still in swimming time. Indians who swept by tho town medi tated profoundly on the ways of the peculiar white man, who preferred this solitude to the firewater and gaysomeness of Oregon City.

" Next year tho town took long strides. It got a charter, a mayor, a water sys torn, a free school, an academy, a large" hotel, a Congregation Church and manj other improvements. But It didn't hav regular steamship connections. St. Hel ens held the allegiance of tho Paclflt Mail Steamship Company, and MIIwaukl controlled tho river steamboat So Port land bought control of a steamship. Sh was the Gold Hunter. She steamed -.into Portland harbor. What was tho price? About $60,000. Could Portland with its 400 people raise tha money? To be sure, and raise the money it did on the spot. The Gold Hunter made several trips. But California owners got control. Far away went the Gold Hunter, and never more came back. An extravagant and dis sipated hulk she was. She sank Into debt and had to bo sold. The vessel made a pile of monejr in the gold hunt at Port land. And the city was long in making good the loss. Captain Trevalliot, a Gaul, arrived about this time, much tossed about on land and sea by the cruel wrath of Juno, or some other evil genius. Tho captain was a high roller. He had discharged cargo and one night was sitting in a saloon be hind one of the best seven-up hands that had ever happened. A sailor rushed in excitedly. What had happened' The cap tain's ship, Due Delrge, had sunk. Alas, too true. Anchored at the foot of Davis street, pining for her master, she had turned over and sunk. Captain Trevalliot feared to return to France; he stayed at Portland and spent the money collected for his cargo. "He used to get terrifical ly drunk," says the record, "and then, ascending the hurricane deck of a cayuse would career down Front street, a mount ed simoon of alcoholic odor and broken English."
