; PIONEERS. Mr, and Mrs. 0. Montgomery, of Qrlzzly, Ore, were among the first of Northern Crook's pioneer eettlera. Canada Montgomery was born tr. Howard county, Missouri, ou the IDth of January, 1830. Ho moved with his parents to California in 1349, thence to uregou In 18ol, locnting near .Brownsville. On the 13th day of Much, 1852, Mr. Montgomery wna married to Ellen Jilukely, eldest slater of ex-County Judge Geo. C. Blakt-loy, of The Dalles, who had crossod the plains with her parents in 1846 from Platte county, Missouri, when she was 4 years old. In 1873 Mr. and Mrs, Montgomery moved into Crook county, locating on the Henry deck place on "Willow Creek, where they engaged in the business of raising sheep. After three years of successful work this place was . pold to Us present owner, Mr. Cleek. Two years were thep spout on the O W. Puliueh.n, place on the same creek. Then they bought the old Jitmes TMuljeJ&y plage on Willow Creek, pwned by M.rs. Montgomery's brother, Jiunes Blakely, J,r., and here Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery have lived ever since. Their family were raised, In fact some of them born, ou this farm, one of the best in the county. Wbeu asked It the climate was milder now than when be Grst settled b.ere Mr. Montgomery said: "When 1 first settled here wo had frot every month iu the year. There wasocareely any ruin hut lots of snow. We could hardly raise potatoes in the 70's; the frost wruld cut them bark so mJch that they were almost always a pirt failure until In the 80's, wheu we com menced to notice a difference. Then we commenced to plant fruit trees. In 1885 T set "tit quite an orchard" some of the apples from these trees were on the table and proved to be a very fine quality of winter apple. "Grain, how ever, was raised iu more or less quan tities from 1875 on. In that year I q twed a number of acres of wheat, but it was frosted and we cut it for hay. Ou the same ground we now raise tin finest of grain without danger of much frost." Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery have an ideal farm, situate at the foot of Grizzly Mountain, on Willow Crpek, w hich affords an abundance of water or irrigating their meadow lands; "near to 'wood, postofilce, store, school and church, an easy drive to the county seat, plenty of stock of all kinds, bauds of chickens and geese, fruit and garden truck rufficient for all. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery are sur rounded by the most of theirchildren four boys and three girls rand a host of fiiends. Among these they are spending the evening of their jfe, They are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and take an active part in helping to spread the Gospel in that neighborhood. Tbeir home is headquarters for the traveling min istry and here they find an atfundance of good things. The old time frontier hospitality 'is in evidence and no one is turned away, and in consequence thereof the Montgomery home is one ot the Lest known in the country. We wish for them many happy years of life yet to come. "Notice. All persons owing for water LOCAL NEWS. R, M..
