The stirring tales of old Ore gon, with all their wonderful color, life, romance and historic accuracy, as related by Eva Emery Dye In her famed book, "Stories of Old Oregon." are be ing presented in Installments in The Sunday Oregonian, with il lustrations provided by the au thor. Mrs. Dye. who is a resident of Oregon City, has written a num ber of remarkable books, includ ing "McLoughlin and Old Ore gon" and "The Conquest." These books brought into life and be ing the treasured characters of Lewis- and Clark, Dr. John Slc Loughlin. Sacajawea and others. The stories of old Oregon are made simple for the special benefit of children. Other chap ters will be published in suc ceeding issues of The Sunday Oregonian. and tea, rlrc sugar and silks were brought to Portland. In the Spring of '49 the United States Government sent a mounted rifle regi ment to Oregon. In January, 300 of them deserted for the California gold fields. In the same way the Hudson's Bay, 'hunters from Fort Vancouver ran away, leaving the fort deserted. James Douglas, who had succeeded McLough lin. could stand it no longer. He, too, packed up and moved away to Van couver Island, where he stnrted a new fort, Victoria. And Bonneville, who had been driven away, came now to com mand the new . United States military post at the old Hudson's Bay strong hold. In the day of gold, Ulysses S. Grant, a young Lieutenant, was sent to Fort Vancouver. Provisions were so high that he ana his brother officers plowed up a patch of the old Hudson's Bay ground and planted a crop of potatoes, hoping to make a fortune in their sale. In December. 1850. Thomas J. Dryer utarted The Oregonian at Portland. traces and even diggings of gold were found all over Eastern Oregon. On the Powder River one claim yielded $6000 in four days, and one pan of earth con tained $150. At one time a thousand miners were digging and trading on the headwaters of the John Day River, getting from 15 to $20 a day. As the miners went along they picked out their claims, erected their cabins, and so Eastern Oregon was settled. Grain was sown, and the land that oneo seemed desert began to blossom as the rose. In the charming Grand Ronde Valley a city grew in a night La Grande and a little later Baker City, took its rise. Every road from Baker City leads to a gold mine. Today out of thoee Blue Mountains, where struggled the heroes of '43, millions are taken every year. Roads were opened and counties or ganized the magical result in the wake of gold. One day a Ner Perce Indian said to an old gold-hunter: "One night, with two of my people I slept in a canytn The following March, the Statesman I deep and dark. High in the rocky aiie LEGAL SIDELIGHTS FOR LAWYERS SAND LAYMEN BY REYXELLG G. K. CORNISH, OF PORTLAND BAR. ANOTHER Ananias candidate. A drug fiend is commonly admitted to be a notorious liar and there fore the court will admit evidence of the use of drugs by a witness in order to affect his credibility, says the case of State vs. Tong Loon, 158 Pac. 235. Tong Loon, the defendant in the case, was indicted for the murder of Fong Chung. Yee AVee, the witness whose testimony was in question, had acted as interpreter at the bedside of the deceased, taking down his dying dec laration, which Incriminated the de fendant, and translating it into Eng lish for the District Attorney. Yee Wee was the only person present at the time who understood both English and Chinese, so that the responsibility for the correct rendition of the dying man's declaration rested upon his credibility as a witness. Under these circumstances the court held that it was error to prevent the defendant's attorney from questioning Yee Wee as to the use of drugs. "We believe it will be admitted that habitual users of opium, or other like narcotics, become notorious liars.. The habit of lying comes, dotrbtless, from the fact that the users of these nar cotics pass the greater part of their lives in unreal worlds.. an? thus be come unable to distinguish between images and facts, between illusions and realities. "We do not mean to hold in this case that the fact that a witness Is an habitual user of opium or morphine excludes his testimony, unless it is shown that he is mentally irrespon sible as a result of the use of such drugs when examined as a witness. But we do mean to hold that the habit ual use of morphine, cocaine and other like narcotics, which inevitably tend to impair the mind and destroy the mem ory and moral character. of a witness, may be -shown, for-the purpose of af fecting his credibility or the weight that should be given to his testi mony." In Hot Water. This time It is no less an important personage than the ice.man who finds himself in hot water as a result of hie negligence. The case is that of Conroy vs. City of Kings ton et al.. 86 S. E., 521. The defendant, an oil and Ice com pany, had emptied some scalding water from Its plant into an open ditch along the edge of the sidewalk. The ditch was alout two feet wide and was covered from sight by the grass and weeds that grew along the edge. The plaintiff, a child of 9 years, fell into the ditch and was injured. The ice company demurred to the complaint on the ground that the ditch was not on its premises, but on the edge of the street of the city, and that no cause of action was stated against them for that reason; and also on the further ground that it was not charged with the duty of keeping down the grass and weeds along said ditch. The court refused to sustain the de fendant's contention and over-ruled the demurrer, eaying In part: "When injuries result from nuisances on the streets it has always been held that ( tile person causing math nuisance, . It It produces Injury, is liable primarily, and the city Is liable, secondarly, for its negligence in not abating- said nui sance. "If the defendant did turn loose a dangerous agency, such as hot. scald ing water. Into an open ditch aidng the edge of the street. It was negligence not to safeguard it by a cover or by using terra cotta or iron tubing. It was no protection to this defendant that the city did not take steps to abate the nuisance or require that the hot water should be poured Into a tube In said ditch or otherwise covered as a protection to the public. "On principle, there is no difference between hot water and a dangerous machine left .unguarded in a public place." PendletonBntldlng Permits Less. PENDLETON'.. Or., Jan. 6. (Special.! A total -of 243 building permits, rep resenting construction work to the amount of $198. 953. were issued during the year 1916. While this amount is slightly less than the 1915 mark, when it is taken into consideration that $131,000 of '1915 Is represented by the Federal building. It will be seen that 1916 far eclipsed its previous year In general building. The largest single permit was $30,000 for the new grain elevator, of -the Farmers' Union. - BY EVA EMERY DYE. OVER the Sante Fe trail and through the drouth-stricken re gions of Arizona.' Jo Meek, the Marshal, and Joe Lane, the Governor, traveled on the road to Oregon. Day by day their horses died. One by one the baggage-wagons were abandoned. gTheir men deserted, until of the S3 that started from Fort Leavenworth only a straggling, footsore few remained. In January they crossed Southern Cali fornia to the Coast. A ship was bound to San Francisco. But what is this? The shores of San Francisco were crowded with ships, ships, ships, and people. On the sands 200 Oregohians stood with bags in their hands, vainly seeking a passage to Oregon. "What lias happened?" cried Jo Meek to his acquaintances on every hand. Happened? Why, he had landed in the very midst of Those days of old. .The days of irolu. The days of '49. Nothing but "gold, gold, gold." could be heard in San Froncisco. During those months while Meek and the' Governor were toiling across the continent, all Oregon, all the world, had been rush ing madly to California. Already one Winter's work had filled the sacks of the Oregonlans, and they were going home. Prices Are Enormous. For a fabulous sum an old East India teakwood ship was chartered, that car ried them to the Columbia River. In boats they came up from Astoria, and on March 3. 1849. the last day of Polk administration. Governor Joseph Lane entered into office at Oregon City. That was the beginning of 10 stormy terri torial years of growth and expansion in the days or gold. It was James Marshall, an Oregon Immigrant of 1844. that found the gold. He went to Sutter's mill. Working there, one day he caught the glitter of a nugget. He called Sutter aside and showed the treasure. Of course the se cret could not be kept. The very winds whispered it. Swift little sailers sped to Oregon, the nearest port, for picks and pans and shovels. The 'lately re turned volunteers or tne uayuse war left their sickles in the harvest and poured into California, pell-mell, fully a year before the rest of the world re ceived the news. By Jand. by sea, afoot and horseback. southward poured the population, leav lng mothers, wives and daughters to keen the homes and farms and work shops. Only five old men were left, at Salem. Only a few women, children and some Indians were left at Oregon City. The Oregon Spectator suspended for want of printers. There was not a quorum for the Legislature. Oregon bid fair to be depopulated. And now the Spring of 1849 found every home-bound vessel filled with homebound Ore gonlans. . The Oregon to which Jo Meek came back vat not the Oregon from which he had hastened with disastrous news one year before. Now the Indians were cowed and still. Money circulated In handfuls. Under an act of the Colonial legislature. $50,000 was minted at Ore gon City to pay the volunteers of the Cayiise "V ar. Where, of old. two or three ships a year had entered the Columbia River, now 50 arrived in 1849. Twenty vessels stood waiting at once for cargoes. Portland, from a village in the woods. became & city. ' Flour taken down to California sold for $100 a barrel. Butter, eggs, vegetables, were almost worth their weight In gold. Apples from those early Oregon orchards brought a dollar apiece. In 1851. Luelfing. of Mllwaukle sold four bushels of apples for $500 the next year. 40 bushels brought him tSOO. Direct trade opened with. China, was started at Oregon City. When the capital was changed to Salem, the Statesman followed; when it went to Corvallis. there, too, went the States man. Some laughed at the "paper on wheels." "Wherever the seat of gov ernment is there Is the Statesman,' answered Asahel Bush, the editor, and back with the legislators it went to Salem for a permanent home. In the old mission days Jason iee brought Spanish cattle into Oregon. Now, in the days of gold, descendants of those cattle were driven back over the Siskiyous to feed the miners in California. As the cattle trains moved along, their drivers spied and spied each gulch for gold. In 1851 a miner struck gold on a creek: an immigrant Just arrived pitched his tent, bought the claim and named it for his little daughter. Josephine. A whole county in Southern Oregon bears today the name of Josephine. Two drivers of a cattle train camped in a gulch. That night they found placers of extraordinary richness. Miners trooped In by the thousands. and Jackson's gulch became Jackson ville. Nuggets of ten dollars, forty dollars, one hundred dollars and even nine hundred dollars, were picked up. Ah. those were great days! A man might be penniless at daybreak, and before night the richest man in the vallev. Men that came for gold orougnt tneir families and planted their homes on the hillsides of the Rogue and the Umpqua. Curious little pockets were found where veins of sold seemed to cross. and sometimes, in a space not mucn larger than a cubic foot, as much as ten thousand dollars could be taken out at once. Over thirty million dollars in gold has .been taken out of Jackson County alone. Literally, the streams of Southern Oregon flow over golden sands. Beach Sands Lure Many, The next discovery was that the sea- beach sards were full of gold. Men to day are sailing to Nome. Oregon, too, has a gold beach. Thousands new to the shores of Oregon. Coos Bay and the mouth of the Rogue and Umpqua and Coaulllo Rivers were filled with prospectors. Claims were taken, homes founded; Port Orford. Ellensburg and EmDlre City grew. Roads were opened. steamers began to Touch at those shores. In 1854 the first newspaper of Southern Oregon, the Umpqua Gaxette, was started at Scottsburg. For a hundred miles they found the black magnetic sand flecked with finest gold. It was not uncommon 'tor a man to extract one thousand dollars tn day, and for many to gather from twenty to one hundred dollars. For 50 years now, miners have been working at these gold-beach sands. After every storm, people watch the beach to see If they can pick up a bank account at once under the disintegrated, falling cliffs. Fortunes have been taken away but the sands are as full of gold as ever. There they lie. kissed by the sun and the sea, waiting the inventive genius that can find a quicker process of extracting ine goia man any Known at nresent. Immigrants now began to remember that in coming to Oregon by tne soutn ern route in 1846. in passing through the Malheur country they had come across an unfamiliar metal which they had hammered out on a wagon tire. "Where was it? Where was it?" tlie-y asked in vain, for no one could remem ber. Some even went back and tried to find the lost gold country. Similar reports flew about the Spokane land. Now it was said the Indians were pick-, ing up nuggets on the Yakima. All at once it seemd as if every gulch and canyon hid the preclousp ossibility. Gold was sought on many a stream. Parties scattered over the John Day and Powder Rivers, where Bonneville camped in the long ago. Many a stray nugget kept tp the story of the lost 1 diggings. In ft . wonderful manner. we saw an eye of light. It watched all the night, and we watched it. In the morning we looked. It was fast In the rock: we could not movw it. It was great medicine, and we left it there." That old gold-hunter rested not. seeking for that "eye of light" in the land of the Nex Perces. From his dis coveries came the Salmon River rush and the settlement of the future Idaho. In 1S56. gold discoveries on the Fraser liiver settled British Columbia and located thousands on the shores of Puget Sound. Among others who went was M. M. McCarver, who laid out Burlington, lows, and came to Oregon in 1843. He looked for the site of the future metropolis of Oregon. Linnton, where he staked his claim, if now a part of the City of Portland. With the first rush he went to California and laid out Sacramento. Then he went to the Sound. "I will find the site of the terminus of the future Northern Pa cific Railroad." he said. Where bis cabin stood now stands Tacoma. Nests of Gold Konnd. Gold cropped out in the mountain borders of the Willamette Valley. Curious little "eagle-nests" were found on the Santiam some of the most beautiful specimens of arborescent gold the world has ever seen. Buried away under rocks and trees. In the crum bling, rotten quartz, little cavities as large as a man's hat were found filled with sticks and straws of finest gold. The wirelike skeins crossed and criss crossed in every direction, and attached to the edge of the nest as If some won drous bird had builded there her golden home. No wonder the effect was sur prising and magnificent. And yet. who knows how many other "nests" may lie undiscovered still, like little fairy palaces, at the foot of thos -grim old trees? The thick forest growth of aces has been a great de terrent of effort. Some of the earliest' diggings have not even wagon roads Into the primeval wild. There Is no 1 doubt that under the forestry of the Cascades many a well-filled pocket, many a treasure vein of gold, lies waiting the pick of the future miner. This Pacific range, from Cape Horn to Point Barrow, hides in Its heart the coin of the future. Men. today, dredging the sandy bed and banks of the River Snake say there is fine flour of gold enough in those drifts and bars alone to pay the National debt over and over again. First Steamers Ply River. On July 4. 1830. there arrived at Oregon City on her trial trip the first steamer built In Oregon, the Columbia, of Astoria, and on Christmas day the Lot Whitcomb was launched at Mll waukle. the beginning of fleets upon these inland waters. Gold found all the way from Southern Oregon to Brit ish Columbia led to the organization of the Oregon Steam Navigation Com pany. To help the gold hunterR steam boats began to run up the Columbia and then up the Snake to Lewlston. From Lewlston pack trains carried supplies far over to the scattered miners of Montana. The wh,!te man's rush for gold was overturning all Indian tradition. The Territory of Washington was set apart (1853) and Its ambitious first Governor, Isaac I. Stevens, went over the moun tains, surveying a route for a Northern Pacilic Railroad. Then with Joel Pel tner. of Oregon, he summoned the tribes (o the famous Indian council of Walla Walla. "We wish to purchase your lands." said Governor Stevens, "and settle you on reservations. You Fhall have mills and plows and food and schools and blankets.- Houses shall be built for your chiefs." Dimly each prophetic Indian saw the end- They must re tire before the coming race. They begged delay "We do not understand." Then General Palmer explained to the mthe benefits, the wonders of clv 1 Concluded on fags 3. Column 6.)
