HONORED BY LEGISLATURE f , -If JXw fe V"vW $'--'" Judge William H. Packwood, , , only surviving member of the state conetltutional convention of 1857, to' whom the legislature paid honor last week. By Fred Lockley. - Whn I used to come to Portland In 1860 I didn't have to dodge street cars and jitneys as I do now," said Judge William H. Packwood of Baker, the last surviving member of the state constitutional convention held in Sa lem In August, 1857. "I have Just re turned from Balem, where the gov ernor, the supreme court and the ether state officers and the members of the legislature treated me with great honor. Of course. I realize that the honor was not so much a personal one as a tribute to the men who lormed the constitution of our state. It so happens that I am the only one left out of the 60 and that is why the honor was paid to me. From here I am going to Seattle to see some men with whom I am planning to go Into a mining en terprise In eastern Oregon. "It la strange how well I remember an incident that happened at the con vention in Salem when we formed the constitution. I was a member of the ! committee that selected the Ktate seal and it was at my suggestion that a pic ture of the elk was put on the seal. I was a representative of Curry county and 60 years ago elk and deer were very numerous all over ' southwestern Oregon. "It is pretty late in the day to tell von that my name is not really Pack wood and yet 1 guess if the truth were known my family name is Duncan. My nwinio came from Scotland. They set- tied in Virginia in the days before the i Revolutionary war. There were four Scotch families living pretty well up in the Potomao River valley !n Vir ginia. A sudden rise In the river taught them unprepared and the mem bers of all four families were -irowned 1 with the exception of one little boy two or three years old who was taken by I cnmA river man from a tree that floated by tha landing where they were moored. They called him 'Billy' and when he was large enough to be set to work hi 1ob was to carry the vood on to the boat. His adopted father was verv proud or mm anu useu Billy Is a good on to pack wood' or See Billy pack wood.' As he had no last name they finally called him Billy Packwood. He settled on the James river, became a large stock man, mar ried and had a rood sized family. He had gone by the name of Packwood since he was a little chap so when he found his name was really Duncan he did not change Ills name and so our familv has been Packwood ever since the high water on the Potomac way back in the days before the Revolu tionary war. "I was thrown on my own resources when I was a little shaver about li years old. I peddled bread in' St. Louis, worked for a farmer, mixed mortar, was an errand boy In a rroery store and did whatever Job waa handy unt'i I was about 16 years old when I en listed. In those days you had to be 18 before you could enlist In the army. ; State Society of . Hygiene Meets I i no information Mads FuMio as to Flans for Future Work; Report Sue Xater Foster Fresidea. Albany, Or., Feb. 20. -The Oregon ' State Social Hygiene society aa ' Journed its annual conference here this afternoon after having com pleted a grist of routine work, and discussed plana for the coming year's : program. ' The state members then left for their homes. The meeting was held ' under the auspices of the Albany So cial Hygiene association in the public library. 1 Dr. William T. Foster. of Reed ' college, Portland, president, occupied the chair. The officers tonight de clined to give out anything concerning any steps taken by the conference, but sata a report was being prepared publication later. for LAW FRATERNITY CHAPTER! ! Telegraphic information has been : received by the Delta Sigma Phi, the local law fraternity, that the Gamma Eta Gamma, the national law fra ternity, with headquarters at Roches ter, N. T-. has accepted the Portland organisation's application for a charter. The request for permission to estab lish a chapter here was made by nine of the members of the local fraternity. They are: John P. Dwyer, BUiine B. Col ea, William J. Mackenzie, R. J. Lincoln. Enoch Mathieson, C. E. Hess, O. J. Ulrieh, Herman Peterson and Merrill A. Bead. The Gamma Eta Gamma chapter in . Portland wiil be the first of the kind j weat ot Omaha. I knew the recruiting officer would ask me my age so I wrote on tw o little slips of paper the figures 18, put them In my shoes so that, when the recruit ing officer asked me if I was 18 I could truthfully say that I was 'over 18.' Major T. B. Backenstos, whose son works In the court house in Port land, was the officer under whom I en listed in J.848 at Springfield, 111. He looked at me so sharply when I pre sented myself to enlist that 1 knew he would not believe I was over It. I told him that I was born In 1S32 and was nearly 16. I also toid him how I had put the slips of paper in my shoes so that I could truthfully say I was over 18. He said: 'If you want to en list as bad as that I guess we will fix it up so you can join the army.' I had not been in the army long when Gen eral Wilson was sent as :ndia.i agent to California and I was part of the military escort that came with liim to California. When we finally arrived at Sacramento we only had about IS head of stock left out of over 200 we had started with so you can see we had a pretty tough time crossing the plains. Most of the men deserted in California going to the mines, but I had promised my father never to de sert or to break a promise, so, although my fellow soldiers who deserted were paid In the mines more In a day than I received In a month, I staid in the army. We were sent to Port Orford as guard for Captain William Tich nors town that was Just being started. Our boat, the Lincoln, wac wreeked at Cape Castaway, so we were greatly delayed in getting to Port Orford "After my enlistment had expired I settled In Curry county and Curry county's citizens unanimously elected me a delegate to the Constitutional convention at Salem In the summer of 1857. I have mined motst of my life. I was ono of the first miners to work in the Auburn diggings in Baker county and by and by Auburn, now but a memory, was Baker county's first county seat. I want to show you the engrossed resolutions that the governor and the legislature gava mo, I am very proud of it. If I have learned one thing in a long life it is this: Not to worry over disappoint ment, for I have noticed time after time that If I had secured my way In certain matters they would have turned out very badly and that an overruling providence or whatever you care to call It has shaped things In a better way than I could have foreseen or planned for. Tea, I think this Is a pretty good old world and I hope to spend many more happy and useful years here in Oregon."
