Early Experiences (Continued from page 1) gave it to-Vremont to examine. A test was asaln made, and its value determined." Hut the discovery was hushed up by Fremont's advice urion this ground, that as the FaQi States had Tiot up to that time ac quired the . possession of California. It would be very unwise to make thts discovery public because if It became generally known that children could pick up gold along the gulches to the extent that these samples Indi cated. England would use every ef fort to secure a base upon San Fran cisco bay. and If possible prevent the United States from securing th control of California. Therefore the Mexican war was fought to a Hnlsh. and Mexico ceded California to the United States by the Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty of February 2. 14S. which was proclaimed by President Polk on July 4 or that year.

"In the summer of 2864 Thaddeus Welch, a neohew of the late Mrs. P. S. Knight and Jndge Seneca Smith and I roomed together in Fortiana and we 'Hooverlxed considerably by living on bread and milk straight for event months. Thad was an ap prentice In the Oregon Farmer Job printing office, and was only earning 19 a week. I was earning good wages as a compositor on the Ore gon ian but saving every dollar pos ihie ii I thought it Incumbent upon mi to 'send money to my parents In Thurston county. Washington terri tory, from time to time: and besides I was planning to go to Pennsylvania " ! and enlist in the 106th Pennsylvania Inrantry .a regiment in which I had a number of cousins with whom 1 had arranged to mess. The time came In the summer when Thad wanted to visit his relatives In and about Salem, and In connection therewith was confronted with the matter of 'ways and means. The regular fare at this time by stage or boat to Salem was $7. exclusive of meals en route. Thad was the old est child of th Welch family, which consisted of hts mother and several children living In Yamhill county, with the father. Russell Welch, away in the mines, and was dependent on almost exclusively to supply the need for ready cash. Therefore, to nay out $18 for a round trip to Sa lem. on a weekly stipend of 9. pre sented a problem to Thad not easily solved. The matter was discussed between us for a few days without belnr settled, and finally I offered to loan him the monev with the prl vilere of returning it In installments of a dollar a week. This B ae- clined. Then I said: " Thad. It I was In your place I'd walk: yon can make it In a day. ana rim with TOD What TOO WSni lO eat.' -At length he agreed to that pun. and set out for Salem early la tne morning of July 3 .and. reached his destination about 8 o'clock that ev ening; remained there until July is. when he walked back to roruana The comment in my diary of that day ia this: . - Thad came back. He waiaea all the way from Salem. Appears to have enjoyed himself. Looks bet ter." . . "Thaddeus Welch abandoned tne printing business many years ago. and has achieved consiaeranie tlnctlon as an artist. He now lives In Santa Barbara. Calif."
