Donnerberg Reliable Jeweler I 110 llth Street SOUS EXPERIENCES. In a chat with Mr. R. McEwan yes terday some interesting facts were wrought to light of the early day in Astoria, Mft McEwan first came east to Oregon City with an ox team and a few head of cattle and horses. When he first visited Astoria in 1350 he found here a Hudson Bay Post on the spot where Mr. Van Dusen's house now .stands. Behind it there was a boarding house run by David Ingalls an old Eng lish sea captain who did not however have many boarders. Of people who have since been well known in the city he met, at that time, Mr, McClure and Billy Welch. That same year of 1800 Mr. McEwan started to organize Pacific County in Washington and Clatsop County in Oregon under the old Terri torial administration. In his second trip from the east which was made in 1933 be encountered more trouble. He had in the first place more stock with bim, and secondly the In dians, who had become more used to white people and. less afraid of them, were much more in evidence, and more annoying. However, Mr. McEwan and bis retinue came safely through without a great deal of difficulty. It is re markable coincidence that the two trips each took eactly five month to day. They were made from the Missouri Riv er to Oregon City. Mr. McEwan was well acuainted with Ezra Meeker in the nl.l rlsiv. Tt will be' remembered that I Mr. Meeker recently went back east jover the old Oregon trail with an ox j team. Mr. McEwan is a Nova Scotian j by birth but he came here from the j Missouri.
