PIONEER'S RECOLLECTION.
The following was written by D. J
Schnebly, in early days editor of the
Oregon Spectator Oregon's first news
paper published at Oregon City. Mr.
Schnebly, now advanced in years, pub
lishes a weekly paper at Ellensburg,
Wash.
The first newspaper established in
Oregon was the Oregon Spectator in
1845. The place of publication was
Oregon City. It was established' by the
missionaries of Oregon, which embraced
all the territory from the British line,
the 49 parallel, and was bounded, on the
east by the Rocky mountains and on the
south by the California line. The paper
was published for five years, and bad in
that time four or five editions. Eon
Robert Moore of Linn City purchased
the plant with its good will in the fall of
1840. He secured the services of Rev.
Wilson Blaine as editor for one year
At the close of Mr. Blaine's year the
editor of this paper took charge of the
Spectator for Mr. Moore for a year, at
the close of which it was purchased by
the editor.
In those days the news of the world
was received twice a year; it was
brought by the way of Horn in sailing
vessels. There was no plagiarism, no
copying of editorials without proper
credit. The paper had to be made up
wholly of local happenings and imagin
ings to the manor born.
In the winter of 1850 a eemi-monthly
mail was established between San Fran
cisco and Portland. It was a great treat
to get a mail every two weeks, instead
of twice a year, as formerly. To the
editor it was an especial accommodation.
In the fall of 1850 the Western Star
was established at Milwaukie, by the
enterprising Lot Whitcomb. - The paper
was : published there for nearly a year,
the work being done by John Waterman
and W. D. Carter. Milwaukie was
nearly the size of Portland, which con
taiued 300 inhabitants. Portland was i
email place then, but being at the head
of ship navigation it grew rapidly ; and
in the winter of 1850 the Oregonian was
estamished by some enterprising citi
zens of the village Stephen Coffin,
John Couch, Lownsdale and others. T.
J. Dyer "was editor. Henry L. Pittock
was not then a citizen of Oregon, but ar
rived in the early '50s, and soon after
became the devil in the office. Thus
the great paper of the Northwest had its
early beginning. But it enjoyed the
improved mail facilities almost, if not
quite, from the advent.
The Oregon Statesman was the next
in the order of birth at Oregon City, and
it was conducted by Aebly Bush for
Samuel R. Thurston, the first delegate
elected by Oregon to represent the ter
ritory at Washington. The paper was
purchased by Thurston to aid in secur
ing his re-election as delegate. But
unfortunately he died on his return,
somewhere between the Isthmus of
Panama and San Francisco. He was an
indefatigable worker and did Oregon
great service at Washington. He was
tbe author of the donation law and had
a new mail route established between
Oregon and California, and had the first
land office established at Oregon City.
' The first census in Oregon was taken
by Joe Meek, marshal of the territory of
Oregon, whose deputy, Daniel O'Neill,
did the most of the work. The deputy
did good service for the Spectator during
' his ride over the country. We were in
debted to our friend Dan for his Argus
eyed reports. The marshal had a large
extent of country to ride over, and the
country was sparsely settled in 1851.
In those early days the young men
when they went sparking had to carry
their blankets w ith them. The prover
bial "spare bed" was not often found in
the residence of ithe dulcinea's borne.
The beau in going to and from his sweet
heart's abode looked very like a travel
ing man, but as it was the custom of
the country it was little thought of, and
the sweetheart had no difficulty in di
vining the vistor's thoughts.
Tbe Cuban revolution at present in
progress may prove to be of immense
importance before it' is finally termin
ated. Spain's affairs at home are seri
ously muddled ; so seriously as to inter
fere with her handling Cuban affairs, as
firmly aa she should. Cuban revolu
tions are of such common occurrence as
to no longer cause much comment in
mia country ; Dut witn tne present one
thing are different, for the reason that
it is quite possible that before many
months the United States flag may be
floating over the island.' It is only a
question of time, and it would not prove
very startling it trie matter enouia De
settled within the next year.'
Manitoba is disturbed from center to
circumference over the school question.
The whole fight is against a law passed
by the diminion government, under
which tbe school system of Manitoba
was in terf erred with. The system was
copied after ours, being non-sectarian,
but under the new law the money would
have to be divided and part of it given
to the Catholic schools. The feeling
runs high, and the Manitobans swear
they will rebel rather than submit.
A Household Treasure.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y,.
says that he always keeps Dr. King's
New Discovery in the house and his
family has always found the very best
results follow its use ; that he would not
be without it, if procurable. G. A.
Dykeman Druggist, Cat skill, N. Y., says
that Dr. Kings New Discovery is un
doubtedly the best cough remedy ; that
he has used it in his family for eight
years, and it has never tailed to' do all
that is claimed for it. Why not try a
remedy so long tried and tested. Trial
