RcuicnilM-r* an 1 Indian (¿arden on Present site r of O. K. A. N. Stock- varti— lias \ ivitl Recollection of Ila- Idong Trip Across the Mains ami hs Main Incidents. An interesting old pioneer is M. M. < Owens, »wens. father of .X. J. Owens of South Thompson street. Mr. Owens, Sr., crossed the plains in 1S52. and «hat fall- in early September, camp ed u]M>n what is now a portion of the townsite iif Pendleton. Mr. Owens is one of the best pre served old gentlemen in the state. Though 82 years of age he is the equal, physically and mentally, of the average man»22 years younger. He retails with great distinctness many events of the long journey from Ma coupin county. Ill., which began the 29th day of March and ended Octo ber 4. in the Willamette valley. The party when it left Illinois comprised probably 20 families, but it divided by agreement when the country oct upied by the more hostile Indians was passed, and when the Blue mountains were reached and un til the John D-ay river was reached it consisted of M. D. Gillam and family. M. M. owen. his wife and orn child, and Rev. Jesse Moreland ami family—a total of 15 persons, Mr Moreland was a Methodist minister and the father of the well known Judge Moreland of Portland, and was also a brother-in-law of Mr. Owens. On the John Day river the Gillams left the two other families and de flected to the Columbia, reaching it at The Dalles, where they took a steamer for the remainder of the trip. The little party consisting of the • >wenses and Morelands crossed the i 'ascades six miles south of Hood River, having followed the Barlow route, Mr. Owens remembers that the day' the party struck the Cas cades was very beautiful, but imme- diately it began to rain, and rained incessantly all through the Cascades. At no time, although once within six miles of it, did this party see the Columbia river. There were two deaths in the party between Illinois and the coast, one of which was the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owens. The child died after leaving St. Joseph, Mo., and before reaching the Platte river in Nebraska, and was buried a short i distance from the trail. The immigration to the coast was immense that year, to which was due the fact that scarcely any game was seen along the route, and also scarce ly an Indian. The latter were afraid of the superior numbers of the im migrants and of the military, both of which were aggressively on the de fensive all that season. Mi. Owens recalls that although a large ]»arty of which he was a mem ber divided twice—in the Platte coun try and again in Western Wyoming —that they reunited when the Hnake river district was reached on account of the Indians therein being hostile but they were not molested. M. L>- Gillam was elected captain of the reunited forces and remained in command until the Blue mountains were reached, when a third division of the party took place, and the three families first mentioned wended their way early in September down from the mountains and reached the Umatilla river from a southeasterly direction. coming down off the bluffs by the old trail which followed prac tically the route now described by Thompson street, in this city. Near the trail and under the bluff, close by where the O. R. & N. stock- yards now are was an Indian garden of about a quarter of an acre in ex tent. The last permanent settlement of w hite people seen as the immigrants came westward was on the Platte. in Eastern Nebraska. From the Platte to the Willamette no while people were seen at any time except soldiers and other Immigrants. One exception to this was at La Grande where an immigrant, finding that he tarried a stock of provisions and per haps other goods in excess of his own needs, set up a temporary store to dispose of the stuff to other Immi grants who were more needy. Mr. Owens lived in Clackamas county 26 years, then moved to Port land. where he has resided for the balance of the 52 years he has lived in Oregon. Ada aii<!

In an effort to secure an increased supply of water for the city of Pen dleton. tlie city water commission se cured a visit from an official of the geologic survey for the purpose of investigating the geological formation of the country, adjacent to Pendleton with a view to locating artesian water or finding an increased flow from surface springs. Yesterday afternoon N. IL Darton. chief of the department of under- ground water exploration, of the in terior department, in company with F B. <’lopton and Leon Cohen, of the city water commission, visited the hills on the northeast of Pendleton, in view of finding evidences of a permanent water supply. Mr. Par- ton carefully investigated tlie geolog ical formation of the country and m»ted the evidences of water now found. The country between the Cascades an<l the Blue mountains is an old lava bed. lying in layers or sheets. id is one of the most difficult of formations to deal with, the under ground flow* being so erratic and uncertain. After inspecting the country thor oughly anti observing all the visible prospects Mr. Darton advised th»- commission to drive a well in the river bottom, near the city, thia being the most feasible plan to pursue He hald the formation of the earth in this entire district precludes the pos sibility of making even a guess at the hidden water supply. The well would be simply an experiment. He also advise«! the development • f water sources on the brow of the hills overlooking the Wild Horse, where there are surface evidences of a flow of water. It had been the hope of the city water commission that an official from the geologic survey could be located here for a short time, to ful- ly investigate the water supplies tn this vicinity, and give the commission some definite Information on the per manent underground flows, but Mr Darton says this will be Impossible, for the reason that the department Is short of men. having not enough practical men now available to carry on the necessary work in relation to the reclamation projects being car l ied on. Mr Darton came to Pendleton for the s|>eclal purpose of investigating the condition here He was engag ed In investigations near Denver, when he received Instructions from F. II Newell to come to Pendleton. He left this morning for Western Nevada, where he has a corps of men at work.
