C. H. King', Water Valley, Miss., cured by
Ayer's SarsapaHlia
"For Ave years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, consulted the best physi
cians, visited Hot Springs. Ark., three times.
Spending $1000 there, besides doctors' Litis;
1ut could obtain only temporary relief.- My
flesh was wasted away so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left :;rm and
leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles
being twisted up in knots. I was unable to
dress myself, except with assistance, and
could only hobble about by using a cane. I
had no appetite, and was assured, by the
doctors, that I could not live. The pains, iit
times, were so awful, that I could procure
relict only by means of hypodermic injec
tions of morphine. 1 had my limbs bandaged
in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these
gave only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, I begin to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Inside of two months, I was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, my limbs
began to strengthen, and in the course of a
year, I was cured. My weight has increased
to 105 pounds, and I am now able to do my
lull day's work as a railroad blacksmith."

Concerning Some Karly Immigrants
To a state in which wool interests
have been, In the good days that are
past, of such tremendous financial im
portance, the record of the coming of
the first wool-bearers must be a matter
of historical interest. From one, of
whom it may be said, "A part of this
she was, and all of this she saw,' we
have been permitted to gather some in
cidents of this early migration.
In the first days of March, 1848, a
band of four hundred and forty sheep
was collected in Sullivan county, Mis
souri, by Mr. Joseph Watt, and took up
the line of march for the crossing of the
Missouri at St. Joe. Mr. Walt was a
native of Ohio, and had already crossed
the plains to Oregon ; had spent about
two and a half years here ; had selected
a claim in Yamhill county, erected
buildings and made preparation for
bringing hither his father's family and
others who might cast in their lot with
them. The start westward was made
thus early, the traveling abilities of
sheep not having been fully tested, and
Mr. Watt's intention being to travel
very slowly.
Missouri at that time was a good state
to emigrate from no railroad, very little
internal improvement, wretched roads
the settler on its rich soil invariably
poisoned with malaria. It was not a
homesick, heartsick company that
crossed the Missouri that March morn
ing and pulled up its banks of mud iu
the snow and slush of the spring's
"breaking up." Had they been dis
posed to be homesick, the golden sue
cess of Mr. Watt's work in Oregon would
have gone far to dispel it. He had a
clean bank book to begin with, and
made his first strike in the erection of
the first flour mill at Oregon City. For
this"lie received $10 per day, and he
took part of his pay in clocks. - How
these clocks were brought to this coast
- our historian does not know. One of
them was sold to Wm. Burnett of Yam-
. hill county and is now owned by his son
Hon. George H. Burnett of Salem.
7 They were certaicly of American manu-
- facture, and probably came in on one of
4,he trading veseela, possibly. those that
brought some of the early Methedist
missionaries. Mr. Watt traveled with
these clocks and found a ready sale, tak
ing his pay in wheat. The price of this
-staple was at that time very low, but
"the successful operation of the flouriug
mill ran the price up most satisfactorily
to the wheat growers. The result of
this labor and traffic, amounting to four
thousand dollars in gold, was carried
back to Missouri by Mr. Watt in a leath
er be'.t around bis body, the chafing
and weight of which was most patiently
and cheerfully borne.
To return to our mutton. The start
ing of the grasses enabled the line to get
in motion, Mr. Watt being chosen cap
tain of the company. The sheep proved
admirable travelers, far better than
cattle; the pasturage was excellent
they kept in good marketable condition
the tables of the company were kept
supplied with fresh matt on whenever
wanted, though the great abundance of
game at that time, buffalo and antelope
being very numerous, made this not a
matter of necessity. .'
Tho captain's experience in crossing
the continent was not always accepted
by the impatient members of the cara
van, and they thought sheep traveled
too slowly and pushed on ahead, some
times leaving notices written on boards,
one of which is remembered :
Watt and his ehceo eoins to pasture:
Watt says. "Sheep, can't you go a little faster.' ''
Our historian, then a pirl of 11, rode
the two thousand miles, helping to keep
the wooly travelers in line. It was
easily done, and the whole journey at
that date is remembered but as a pleas
ant picnic trip, only for the dreadful
longing for more fcleep. With the very
early starts, seldom stopping at noon,
one can think of the .fatigue and the
need of a great big sleep that the grow
ing girl .must have felt, and which is
not forgotten in. nearly half a century.
No enemies to sheep were found ex
cept in the ferrylese, bridgeless streams.
On Green river thirty were left on an
island. Their wool weighted down with
the ice-cold water, they could swim no
more. The band crossed the Cascade
mountains, reaching Oregon City Sep
tember 24th, and the final resting place
three days later. An odd thing was
that while tho drivers were thoroughly
willing to rest in this long-looked-for
resting place, .the sheep seemed to think
it their bounden duty to .keep moving,
and-the duty of the young shepherd
girls was by no means over.
