Cyrus A. Walker of Albany,. Or., who
Is In attendance at the reunion of the
pioneers has the distinction of being
the oldest living white man bora west
of the Rocky mountains. Mr. Walker
was born at Whitman's mission, near
Walla Walla, Wash., recember 7. 1828.
Mr. Walker's parents journeyed across
the plains early in that year, and
camped, and afterwards made their
home at the mission founded by Whit
man. In his younger days Walker at
tended the first school . established in
that section of the country, and which
Is now called Whitman college., "At
that time there were very few white
children in the territory," said Mr.
Walker this morning. "Our principal
pleasure was in running races with the
Indian boys who lived around the mis
sion. " I can remember that every boy
in school was able to speak the Chi
nook Jargon which was originated by
the traders of the time of Lewis and
Clark." This Jargon is nothing' wort
than a combination of French and In
dian, with a few English words thrown
. In This language owes Its origin to
the traders who could not understand
. the many different languages spoken
by the Indians. On Wednesday evening
1 am to sing a song in this jargon, and
1 can safely say that nearly every plo-
neer will understand all or part of the
selection." ' " .
Mr. Walker served In the Cayuse war
as nrst lieutenant of company B, Ore
gon volunteer Infantry. The sword
carried by Mr. Walker In the Indian
wars is on exhibition at the Historical
society rooms in the City Hall.
.."You can put me down a a Prohi
bitionist and an Insurgent," said Mr,
.Walker. .' ' :., . ..
The records of the Historical society
show that Mrs. Elisa Spauldfng War

II RILEY CASEi PVTIHAtl IBIIIS
Injured Wife Tells Weird Tale
of Domestic Infelicity on
Part of Husband.
Five new suits for divorce appeared
Inhe circuit court today, and in ali of
them fne wives are the plaintiffs.. Head
ing the unhappy list Is Mrs. Rose Riley,
wife of Captain W. J.RIley, who went
with the police to a room In the Drexel
hotel on the night of June 14 and there
found the captain'wlth his affinity, Miss
Mary F. Williams.
In an affidavit filed with her. com
plaint Mrs,; Riley says she has-seen her
husband on the street with his daughter
since the discovery at the Drexel and he
sneered at hi wife. 'She asks for I SO
per month temporary alimony, 1500 at
torney fees,, and an equitable share of
her. husband's property, worth, It la
alleged, $50,000.
-'' Flayed Detective.
Mrs. Riley's complaint shows - she
played the part of sleuth after she sus
pected her husband was unfaithful. One
night, she says, she stood on the street
In front of the Belmont apartments,
where Miss Williams resided, and saw
her husband and his affinity hug and
kiss for five minutes before Captain
Riley took his departure.' He passed his
wife on the street soon after, she says.
Mrs. Riley gives a. detailed story of
her husband's movements on the. nights
of June e, , M12. 18 and ity Several
of these times, she says, he told her
he was going' to lodge, but the history
of his footsteps shows he Usually wound
up at the apartment of the affinity.
The ; wife further charges her hus
band with beating her repeatedly, al
though they were married only last Oc
tober. She' says he boasted to her of
the other woman and bragged that he
could not be punished. ;
Another Vanghty Husband.
- Mrs. Mary 3. Luce says Frank C. Luce
cursed and reviled her and deserted her
last March. They were married In John
Day, Or., July 4, 1905. She wants cus
tody of their child, t ; i
Mrs. Cella Surkl alleges Joseph Surkls
has an affinity, named Freda Wise. She
also charges that her husband deserted
her three times and stayed away from
three to 14 months each,; time. They
were married in fs'ew York In 1892. L
i On charges of desertion, Virgle E.
Baird Is suing for separation from F.
R. Balrd and Jennie Langford from
Joseph B. Langford. Mrs. Balrd, who
lived nearly three years with her hus
band, asks for her former name, Virgle
Mosely. The Langford separated In
1909, having lived ; together only 11
months. 1
enU came across the plains with Dr.
Whitman In 1826. Mrs. Warren was
born at Lapwat, September 16, 1887,
She la now living near Lake Chelan In
eastern Washington. T , Of the number
of persons born In Oregon before 1843,
the following "are now' living: Mrs.
Elisa " Spaulding Warren," Cyrus v H.
Walker, Mr. Wiley Edwards;. Abigail
B. Krr, Mrs. Caroline Gray Kimm,
Mrs. Maria, Campbell Smith. , Edwin

Two -Old Timers.- .
John Minto of Salem, father of Hon
orable John Minto, former postmaster of
this city, and J. C. Nelson of Newberg,
two of the oldest pioneers in attendance
at the reunion, came to Oregon In 1844
with the Gilliam train. Mr. Minto com
mented upon the reception given Theo
dore Roosevelt upon his arrival in Amer
ica after his successful hunting trip In
the wilds of Africa.
"Roosevelt could not have found the
game in Africa that could have been
seen on the. plains in the forties," he
said. "When the Gilliam train passed
through some of the valleys In the west
In 1844 It would be a conservative esti
mate to say that we could see tens of
thousands of buffaloes feeding In the
river bottoms. . To those who are not
familiar with the situation this would
appear to be a fable."
"Yes, I should not be afraid to make
the estimate that high, if not higher,
but It Is different today," said Nelson.
Where there were tens of thousands
In those times there are but few. today.
and they are kept In the different
parks.'
Mr, Minto brought, to the rooms of
the Oregon Historical society a slip of
rose bush that had been planted in
1845 by the Hudson Bay company. This
rose Is one of the Interesting sights of
the reunion. Mr. Nelson related a num
ber of Instances, telling of the sports of
the young people Of his day.
' 2fo Baseball Then. "
"We didn't have any baseball games
In the forties, nor roller skating, foot
ball and tennis, but we did ride the wild
horses, which was excltlngenough and
Imagine just as rough as the present
football game," he said. "I can remem
ber when we thought nothing of riding
over 80 miles to singing school, which
used to be one ci the Important amuse
ments of that day. It la good to meet
the old friends again and talk over the
times we used to have when Portland
was la Its Infancy. The halls of the
fourth floor of he cfty hall have been
crowded with pioneers who have met
old friend and talked over the times
when they were, young..-;";'
Mr; Holman "has - recently returned
from an extensive tour of Europe and
the eastern .states.
'The .growth of Portland Is remark
able, considering the fact that 60 years
ago there was nothing but a forest on
both sides of the river. Though we be
uevea that Portland would be a great
business center, we never realized until
now how much Portland could expand,

HUMANE SOCIETY
VMSAMBULANCE
Fund Is Started to Establish an
Ambulance Service for
Horses. -r
There Is a movement on foot by the
Oregon Humane society to raise $500 for
an ambulance fund. The affair 1 in
charge - of Mis. Liiett P. Harrison
whose efforts have been untiring In be
halt of humane affairs In the northwest
Portland Is the only city of prominence
In the northwest, that does not boast of
an,' organ uea ambulance ; aervice for
horses. Spokane has one, and Seattle
support, two. In Los .Angeles, there
are several ambulances for this pur
pose, maintained by the Humane society,
and It was through the enthusiasm' of
William Chamberlin, pf the. California
society, who recently visited here, that
the present project was started. .
The Idea Is that horses, who fall upon
the streets, or are otherwise- injured,
ara not properly cared for under ex
lstlng conditions. Even if a dray is at
hand, it is Impossible to lift the horse
upon it, without much difficulty, and
usually, with unnecessary injury td the
horse. It required a half hour to raise
a fallen horse from the pavement to a
dray In front -of Cof f man a Saturday;
whereas, under the ambulance plan, the
horse would have been Instantly raised
Into the ambulance and driven away,
and It Injuries attended to.
, The cause is apparently a worthy .one,
and already a number ot protninent Port
land business men have contributed gen
erously toward the fund. Checks made
payable to the Oregon Humane society.
