STARTS SUNDAY LIBERTY and the sou of iwnefr parents. My father. J. B. McClane. came with the first wagon train to Ore gon. That was in 1813. My mother came with the 'great re inforcement," aboard the Lau sanne, in 1840. ' My father was the fir?t postmaster of Salem. He was the first county treasurer of Marion county, lie was one of the wealthy men of the state in the fcarlyt T0s. He fought in the Cayusa Indian war.-' J" am going to condense the story told me by Mr. McClane and give buly the high lights of nis interesting narrative. His fath er, U.-B. McClane. was born Id Philadelphia in. 4820. In 1543 he started by ox team . for the 2000-miro trip across the plains for the Willamette valley. There were 900 in. the wagon train. Wheat went up to $. a bushel and flour to $20 a barrel. Father kept his mill going day and night. All day long pack trains or mules and horses came and went, taking flonr for the south ern Oregon mines. He made a lot of money during the next few years. In 1856 ha went to visit his old home in Philadelphia. He weut by way of the Isthmus and tcok with him 165.000 !n gold dust and in 50-dollar gold slugs and In 'beaver" money. While be was gone John D. Boone jumped his claim, alleging that he had been away from it. while asrving in the Cayuse war.. They fought the cafe for years. It cost father a case. "My mother had 13 children. So far as we can trace the history of the Judson family every wo man of the family had 10 children or more, so yon see I am related to a heap of the old-timers in the Oregon country."

M. Stringer and McClelland were drowned. At The Dalles they rejoined tha rest of the wagon train. Here the emigrants were at the end ot the road, so they made rafts 20 feet long from the trunks of pine trees and floated down to the Cascades, around which they port aged, and continued their trip to Fort Vancouver, where Dr. Mc Lbuichlin took them In and treat ed them with great hospitality. This is how it happened that Mr. McClane's mother, whose maiden , name was Helen C. Jud son. came to Oregon. In 1833 Jason Lee went overland from the Willamette valley to the east to raise funds for the Oregon mis sion. . Oregon at tha tme was not a part of the United States but was considered In the foreign mission field. He took two young Indian boys along as samples of the natives out here. He lee tured on Oregon thronghont the feast and published in the Chris tian Advocate and Journal a call for ministers, laymen, mechanics. farmers and teachers to go to Oregon. Those answering the call were the Rev. Joseph II. Prost. wife and child; the Rev. William Kone and wife; the Rev, Alvan F, Waller, wife and two children; the Rev. J. P. Rich mond, wife and child; the Rer, Custavus Hlnes. wife and child; George Abernathy. wife and two children: W. W. Raymond, a far mer, and hl3 . wife; . Henry B Brewer, a farmer, and his wife; the Rev. Lewis H. Judson. a cab inetmaker, his wife and three children; the Rev. Josiah L. Par- rish. a blacksmith, his wife and three children; .James Olley, a carpenter, bis wife and children; David Carter. Chloe A. Clark. El raira Phelps, , teachers; - Orpha Lankton. stewardess, and Thomas Adamf. one of the Indian boys taken east by Jason Lee, the other having died la the east. The party was in charge of the Rev, Jason. Lee and his newly -wedded wife. They sailed aboard the Lausanne," October 10." 1839, and after spending some time at Hon olnlu; arrived at Vancouver in May, 1840. ,My father, and. mother were married. in May, 1849. by.'Fath r W'llbur." continued Mr. Mc Clane. "My mother's father. Mr, Judson. , bought, the mission school, which had been built on his donation land claim, and lived in it many years. This was tha first frame house' built in Salem My mother's sister married the Rev. David . Leslie. How my father became wealthry and how he lost his fortune are interest ing stories.: In February, 1852, d man named Sykes. whd was working for Al A. Skinner at Jacksonville, found gold In Jack ron creek. Shortly thereafter two packers, named Cluggage and Pool, found rich pay dirt half a mile from where Sykes had made his find. They called the creek Rich gulch. This started the stampede to southern Oregon. My father had a flour and grist mill just acros the street from where Judge R. P. Boise later had his home. In North Salem. He real ized that there would be a big demand for flour., so he bought up every bushel of wheat in the country at fairly low prices.

If not the most dangerous ot human afflic tions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat lens meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any un due exposure and. above all, drink lots of pure water. .' Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed lnttf the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast ft out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity, in damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the ' kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fall to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accum ulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinga of rheuma tism get from any pharmacy about fonr ounces of. Jad Halts; put a tablespoonful la a 2lass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulat ing the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. - t Jad Salts Js Inexpensive, harm less and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and Is used with excel lent results by thousands of folks Who are subject la rhounmtUtn FACTS SOME IMPRESSIVE THIS COMPANY ABOUT 8 Portland $1,000,000 Gent Five -Year Gbld Notes Railway, Light and Power Gbirip any Dated March 1, 1921 Dae March 1, 1928 TITLE & TRUST COMPANY, PORTLAND, OREGON, TRUSTEE This company serves a territory , of over 800 square miles.
