Mrs Henrietta Hrown then read "History of Allmny," giving many bere- to-iore unpuiiitniieu laeta in connection with the early history of Albany, w hiuli is ol to timet! general interest that we shall publish it iu full, in three parts. IIISTOBV or ALllAXV. As nuny of our present citisons know but little of the early biatory of our now thriving city, we thought it might lie an Interesting feature of our entertainment to compile a sketch of the hitherto un written history.. We hav endeavored to secure the very earliest events and reminiscences incident to tho founding of Atoany, known m times past, and still retaining the titling appellation of "liem 01 1110 v aney.' Among tho first who souatted upon the particular spot of ground In question was Mr Abner llacklemau, of Burlington, Iowa, Mr lliraui Smcnd. Mr Ashby Pearce and a few others. Mr Huckleiimn took up tho first donation claim In these parts, a part ot which is now known as ''Hackloman's Addition to the City of Albony." This claim was taken in the winter of 1845. Mr Hucklei.-an was so much pleased with tho broad prairies and beautiful surroundings of this beau tiful volley, that he concluded to make his future home here. and. with the keen foresight of a good business man, sought 10 my now on as much land as possible. and he hired Mr Smead to hold another claim for him, immediate! adjoining his own, intending to transfer it to his son on his arr.val from the east. Ltirly in the spring of '40 Mr Hackle man went cast to settle up business and oring ma laintiy to tlio new sunset land, but shortly after reaching home ho sick ened and died. Tho following year his oiuesk son, a lira in, our present towns man, come to Oregon and settled on the original claim token up by his father, As he could hold hut one claim, Mr r-meau appropriatca me one no was holding in trust for Mr lluckleman Several new families came in about that time, among them Mr Ueo Hughes aimvapij ot n:cuonneu. In the spring of 1S43 Walter and Thos. Monteith, John Loyton, John Burkhnrt, Sam'l Althouse and some others arrived. After viewing the country round about, Messrs w auer ami 1 tioe. juonteith con ceived tho idea of lavinir out a town, and rightly judging that a flourishing city would cventual! spring tip at the point on tno Willamette river, from which could lie conveniently shipped tho cgri- cuiturai prouuets 01 1 10 rich country surrounding, they at once determined t'o buy the claim of Mr Smead. and rnid him $400 for his "squatters right," and Immediately laid out that part of it bor dering on tho river, into town lots, naming the future city, Albany. They put un a cabin near what is now the cor nerof Washington and. Second streets which served them as a dwelling. Mr John Burkhart, father of all the Burkharts around here, and also Mrs James Foster, built a house that year, the site being near the Exchange hotel. Early in the spring of '4S, rumors of vast gold mines in California, reached the new settlement in Oregon, and with visions of great and easily acquired wealth flitting through their minds, many of the men dropped everything and made their way as fast as possible to the mines. A number of them re turned late in Autumn, and as all of them brought quite a bag of yellow dust, business began again in earnest. On Deo II. '43. a ineetintr was held in a little house on the banks oi the Cala pooia, near where Judge Strahans' resi dence now stands, to organize the county under territorial rula, and the officers of the county were chosen and sworn into office. The first term of court was held in the same building. This w as circuit court held by Judira Pratt. Tho first trial for murder, in Albanv. was in 1852. Judge Deady was one of the InwyerB, and wore at that time as dilapidated clotheB aa anybody. The first lawyer to venture upon this peaceful soil was a Mr Brock, and, my informant told me, that he was n't very Bmart, either. How times have changed. The lawyers of our day know everything. The year of 1850 brought quite a num ber of enterprising jnen to our new town, among them Messrs John Althouse, Lin coln and Wright. In April, '50, Davis and John Layton built a small house near the present site of the City Mills, and in it opened a small stock of goods, with Mr Ashby Pearce as chief salesman. The Monteith Bros, alao opened a store on the 4th of; July of the same year, in the first frame house built in the town, situated on the corner of Washington and Keeond streets. Supplies of all kinds were purchased In Oregon City and brought up the river in inuiiui canoes, ami overland .with t teams, it is stated Unit women some times rude the whole distance on horse back and brought supplies for their families. People were forced to do with out (lour for days, and substituted boiled wheat and such like, and wero thankful lor that, even. Tho Lay ton p.ros. did not continue long In business, but sold out toLU Hurkhart, who moved his goods into a building on tho Hacklcmati claim, near where the old Alden fruit dryer now stands. As this house wus entirely out of the limits of the town, as it then was, tho result wns tho establishing of an upoer and lower town j and the new part bid fair to out-rival tho old. In the course of a few years tho new town did out-slrlp tho old, ami petitioned tho Ter ritorial legislature to chango tlio name irom Albany to Takcnn, which It did and it was known by that name tinti 18.15 w hen matters were amicably ad justed and the name changed back to a 1 winy During tho years of CO and 61 improve ments went on rapidly ami the popuia tion increased correspondingly. Iu the spring of "to a ferryboat was built, and 011 thu 4th of July, gaily decorated and crowded with "fair women and brave men," it crossed the river for tho first t . ne, trans . rung 10 tne iH-nton cmnty sido a wedding party, Mr Crllhs Ilurk- hart and his fair bride, Isjing tho center 01 attraction Tho first veuehtblo were nhinted this year, ami, although we now liast of the tertility of our soil, and pit Oregon pro-' auctions against the world, I greatly fear that the soil is degenerating ; for in tho year 1H50, Mr Milton Halo raised a tur nip that welghM 70 pounds. This doubt less sounds like soino traditional II eh Htury. If you doubt its accuracy d not iioiii me responsible lor 1 give lias ticara from tho Hits of 0110 of our most respect ed citizens. Mr lisle also planted the first timothy seed. He was passing along a path in Albany and chanced to see two mails 01 thiuiotiiy growing among tne wild grass. He cut tneiu and carefully preserved the seed and planted it the next year, and from those two heads of seed was iropngutcd all the timothy grass raised in Linn county. In '61 the school was opened by lr It C Hill. Pre vious to that Miss Charlotte Hurkhart bought some tlmu in a small house in Hacklcman's erove. lr Hill taught in the house of Monteith Itros., comer First and Washington ; here, too, was kept the first posliillice. Heretofore tho mail hud been carried from Oregon City in a cotton handkerchief, and distributed as opjiortunity oliered j but now it was re ceived teuii-occattlonalty and dejioeited in the store of the Montcttlia and dis tributed as called for. Mr John Burk hart w as the first regular postmaster. A few of Ir Hill's pupils remain as cit- iaums of Albany : they are Messrs Oliver liiisinieli. John j iavisana jonn itugiies One pupil iu the school studied grammar in an on ImmiK brought iy tne lamiiy from east. 1 ha school room seats were rotiuh wooden benches, and the writing dean a long board nailed to one side of the room like a shelf. Ir Hill also preached the first sermon in Altstny. His text was taken from Inuiuh Sftth chanter. 1st verse and reads. thus ; "The w ilduerness and the solitary place shall l-o glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." For U-auly and appropriateness a better one could not have been. The audience was gis!, the house was fllle-d with white people and the irch with Indians. It as not an uncommon thing in those does for women and men to ride twenty uiiks on liorsvback to attend church and other Kstherinus. One incident w as told me of a spruce young gentleman who w anted a Mtrtner for a ball. and. as wo men wero not plenty in these parts at that enrlv date, he had to EO to Eugene City for the lady, and, aa dress balls were not a common occurrence lie louna me votinif ladv had nothinit to wear, lehtt ing the great occasion. Nothing daunt ed, ho bought her a dress, bad It made in abort order; and, mounting their In dian jMiniea she providing her own dow n they came lo Albany, tiped the light fantastic to their heurt'a content, and rode back only 43 miles the day alter tho ball. ALtVtkV. A plry trtier by a Altfortilaa. Mr. S. G, Benson, of the San Joss Mcr curv, recently hi the city, writing to hi paper, give the following Interesting par tlcular about hi Albany vUU : Albany, Ihe county ct of Linn county, wa reached a few minute ocwrco o'clock Thursday mornlng.tblriy-thrce hour hav ing been apent m live journey. 11 ia a beautiful Hubs city, on tbe bank of the Willamette river, with a broad and fertile prahle surrounding It In every direction. The population I shown by the census to be booo, and me townspeople are not asa Ing for a recount. There are three bank, a woolen mill, grist miH.clectric light work and street car line. The power for all the machinery used l wa'cr. which is brought In a large open ditch from a point higher up on the Willamette. This water I the property of a private corporallon.whtch In consideration ot its franchise furnlihes water to the municipality for all purpotet free of charge. Wltu all the plentltude ot water there I no sprinkling done except on the main bufctnes itrect. and other thoroughfare and all country road are dusty to a degree that San Josean can scarcely comprehend. Like almost every other town In Ore gon, Albany boasts it "college" and ex cellent public tchools. It i:cwpaper are the Morning Herald (Republican) and the livsNiNO Democrat. Both are enter prising sheet and published by very genial gentlemen. It ha already been said that Albanv I In the midst of a fertile prahle. Thit Is true In a general tent, but the lan J it of widely varying quality. There i none that equal the best In the Santa Clara valley, while there Is much that Is good only for grazing. In price It ranges from $5 to $200 an acre, the latter, however, lying Immediately adjoining the town and being held for prospective addition to the cit . Fair farming land from five to ten miles out Is held at from $35 to $40 an acre. The country I comparatively un developed, and Albany will undoubtedly grow and prosper for many year to come. The farmers are, a a rule, in easy cir cumstance, and business generally li con sequently good. The piincipal crop arc wheat and oat, the latter being cultivated for hay a well a grain. There 1 also raited considerable timothy hay. Barley is never teen. The fruits raised in thit county are ap plet, pear, plums, cherries and prune the latter the Italian, large and fine look ing, but lacking the saccharine quality and plcy flavor of the French. A few French prune tree have been planted as an expe riment, but they are not a succet. No attempt I made at grape culture and peache are too uncertain to be taken into account, though there are a lew trees which In favorable years yield tome fruit' We must concede the fact that Oregon generally excels us In the production of apple, and they assert that the vjcan also do so In pears and 'cherries, butjthe sam ple thus far seen fail to make good the claim. The people of Albany are not d for their cordiality and hospitality. Only possets their confidence anc their nomen, their horse and carriages and their time are not only at your disposal but are proffered you so kindly and sincerely that even the heart of a sloic must warm to them. We were particularly fortunate in falling In with several former acquaintances, among them AS Knox, a well. known San Jo sean, F M French and B F Tabler, former residents of San Jose, and J 11 Lewis, a commercial traveler vho make frequent visits to San Jose, and who U known from San Dleso to Seattle at a prince of good fe'lowt.
