Those vessels that came into the river in October brought in quite a number of passengers seeking homes. Among them was A. C. Gibbs, who afterwards became governor of the state, (the second gov ernor under the state organizatian,) John Whittnker being the first A. R. Flint was the first county clerk of Doug las county, David Uunderwood, who held many offices in Unipqua county, before it was attached to Douglas coun ty, aud who finally became Lieutenant in the Oregon Volunteers. I was in charge of the first pack train ever driven into Scottsburg. We heard that there was a number of vessels In the river, which was a fact. We supposed that they had brought supplies of groceries and clothing, things we were very much in need of, but when I got to Scottsburg I learned that they had brought no sup plies, had merely come in for piling GeorgeSnellim:, however, was in Scotts LADIES TAKE A LOOK and if our SPRING rand SUMMER Line is not better than any other, don't buy from us.

I distinctly remember that all the world ly goods our future governor possessed, besides what cash he may have had, was contained in a common cotton hand kerchief, and others were in the same situation. Reason Reed and family, lo cated on the bank of the Calapooia creek in the fall of 1S50. Elijah Banton and family, stopped a while in Winchester, in the fall of 1S50, and then took up a claim a short distance northwest of the present village of Wilbur, which I be lieve is now owned by S. Chenoweth. 1 do not think it is necessary for me to carry this matter any further, as it will be seen there was getting to be quite a number of people in the valley. It will be seen from the above with the excep tion of Mrs. Cowan, who is now living in Yoncalla, that 1 have lived longer in the Umpqua Valley than any other white person, with the possible excep tion of John Gardner, who located on the river 20 or 21 years ahead of me, but I think he has been dead longer than that. The history of the Pacific Northwest, says that the Cowans and Applegates located on the northern boundary danger line in regard to tne Indians. That the reason of their herds and flocks being immune from destruc tion by the Umpqua Indians, was owing to the Cllckatat Indians being in the valley. I am well aware that the Click atat Indians spent a large portion of their time in the northern portion of the Umpqua Valley, but I never saw them as far south as the Umpqua river, but once, and thai was In the winter of 1S50 and 1851, when Elijah Banton got very badly scared and sent a mulatto to W. H. Wilson for ammunition, stating that Mr. Aiken and I had sent bim for the ammunition. Mr. Wilson told me after wards that he took it for a hoax as Mr. Aiken and I had been living on the river for nearly three years, and never bad any trouble with the Indians. But to be on the safe side, he went and hunted up the Clickatat Indians and sent them out to see what was the matter. They were a very friendly tribe sa far as my acquaintance goes,and the chief always went as Quarterly among the whites, and he always appeared very much like a gentleman, especially for an Indian I was introduced to him in the winter of 1847 and 1848, and we were always on eood termB after that. Mr. Aiken and family, and two or three men besides myself were living at Winchester at that time, not having made any improve ments on the north side of the river, we were all on the south side. The Indians came riding up end called for the boat. I took the boat over and as Epon as I landed, Quarterly came to me and en quired if there was any trouble with the local Indians. I told him there was none, so far as I Tcnew. He said he told Mr. Wilson it was a lie, there vere some 30 or 40 of them well mounted, well clothed and well armed. Quarterly said he wanted to cross the river. I told ped until he got to Winchester, in a nearly exhausted condition. I have heard of others as badly scared as the old bachelor. Now in regard to those people living on the northern boundary of the danger zone I was living at the same time, 25 miles nearer the center of said zone. It is true the local Indians often told me that the Shasta Indians, called by the whites Rogue River In dians, would come in and destroy our stock, and kill Aiken's family and me off, but I never paid much attention to it. Remember Aiken's family was not in the valley until the spring of 1S50, but we no neighbors until late in the fall of said year. Some portion of the time previous to that I waa by myself, and although living farther in the dan ger zone than those people to the north, we never lost even hoiees, cattle or hogs by the Indians. But after people be gan driving cattle to California we used to have cattle driven off some times. All the parties -who settled in the valley previous to myself, -with the exception of Mrs. Cowan, are dead, with the pos sible exception of John Scott, and 1 am inclined to think that he is; but I do not know. All those who located the same year I did, only later in the year are also dead, Charles Putnam on Elk Creek, and Mrs. W. H. Wilson, in the Yoncallo Valley. It is probable there ; are some children living who were) brought in by their parents. Tnos. Smith I r Bring Us Your CHICKENS, EGGS, BUTTER, FOR CRSH OR TRKDE, J. F.
