Through jtll Its crannies iour;

The sharp bfcnlll of the north,
Its gi rfy logs change to scarlet coals
Upon the homestead's hearth,

A Pioneer's Experience.
Tills olllco acknowledges a pleasant
Visit from C. McPherson, a ptomluent
tookman of Hay Creek. Mr. Mc
pherson Is a pioneer of Eastern Oregon,
and while lie l not given to laud his
own good qualities no IB able to en
tertain bis friends in a highly pleasing
way in bis description of what Eastern
Oregon was when he first saw it In the
troublesome times of 60r, Born In
The Coming Trading Point of Central
Oregon is Madras.
JRey. C. P. Baney, who is probably
tho best informed man ulong this line
in Oregon, lias beon a resident of the
State of Oregon since 1862. Thirty
years of his past lifo has been mostly
spont as an evangelist; he has traveled
over the country afoot, horsobnek and
by wagon; has seen communities
spring op and develop and filially be
come a mighty factor in the upbuild
lug of the state. The metropolis of to-
day Portland was but a village when
he first knew it; today it iaa city sec
ond to none for its size. He has
known this country for many years,
having lived in Prlneville for three
and a half years from the spring of '04
to the fall of '07. He then said that in
the not distant future this country
would blossom like 1 rose. His pre
diction is now coming true, and he
says Madras cannot help but be tue
coming trading center for this region
from the very fact that it lies in the

DR. S. L. PERKINS, Prop.
county, California, Ten years after,
being of an adventurous spirit, he
came to Oregon, enlisting in the First
Oregon Infantry under Captain L. L.
William, with whom he was a favorite.
Soon thereafter his company was
dispatched to Fort Harney, where they
spent the winter of 04-65. Hero they
endured hardships almost (incredible,
frequently not sleeping for days, and
on account or tuo presence of Keel
gkins not able to build fires either day
or night; several times surrounded by
Indians, expecting every minute to be
their last; seldom in camp; scarcely
ever able to sleep or eat In peace, he
with his companions spent those ter
rible winter months; the weather
much colder and thejsnow deeper than
has been seen here In recent years; no
roads or even trails titat they were
acquainted with to guide them over
tiie enemy's country, and often s'hort
of provisions all this was endured to
the end that the Indians might he
sobdued, thereby allowing the white
man to live in peace, and build up
what has proven to bo a veritable
paradise.
In those times the nearest postoffice
was The Dalles: no mall- was bad ex
cept when a neighbor went to town
for supplies, often several months
passing without news from the out
side world. The roads, then com
mencing to be made, were rough and
at times Impassable, but this hardy
pioneer, together with tho others of
his kind, weie determined to succeed,
and fiora' out of the wilderness has
been developed througli their untiring
efforts some of the finest and most
productive farms to be found in any
country, and those of tho pioneers who
have lived and worked as they should
are now enjoying mo fruits or a lire
well spent. Mr. MuPliersou has raised
a large family on tbo old home place;
he has helped many a now sottler on
the road to wealth, mid while the sud
den rush of settlers of recent years has
taken up lots of his range he is well
pleased with the future prospect of the
country.
The nearest transportation point and
military headquarters was at Fort
Dalles, and in February, 1606, the
company was ordered to tuat place;
proceeding afoot, thoy traveled through
loop snow and bitter ooid weather,
slept in blankets only throe nights on
the trip, the balance of the time they
got along as best thoy could. The
Dalles was reached in duo time, and

hill froax every direction to its doors.
Here monoy will bo spent in vast
quantities and a business center spring
up that will be a surprise to tho pres
ent settlers. Portland will soon see
the necessity of attracting the enorm
ous business that will soon develop iu
this city and will see to it that a rail
road will connect them with the Cen
tral Oregon country to the end that
commerce may go wuere it properly
belongs the city of Portland. Rev.
tiuiley is the most successful revivalist
that has ever been on the Eastern
Oregon fields. His converts are
counted by the hundreds. He is be
loved by saint and sinner alike and
the homes of tbo settlers of Eastern
Oregon are always open to him. He
is now conducting a revival meeting
in this city and confidently expects to
seo the First Baptist Church building
of Madras a reality In the very near
future.
