HENDRICKS- John Knight, pioneer: S Some newspaper notice hat been glyea concerning tho passing ot John Knight In Salkm on Janu ary 21; but naturally tho report ers missed much of tho early part of hla career and that of his for bears. S S Hla father waa Joseph Knight. With his people, ho waa a member I of tho KeU eolony, founded at Bethel. Mo., la IS 4 4. That eolony. Its first principal members from Switsorland and Germany, who settled originally soar Pittsburgh, Pa., moved to Missouri, then being reclaimed from tho wilderness, la order to find a place where they might own their property la com mon and hare Its usufruct flow to 'a common treasury, and lire according to tho law of lore one tor another, with opportunities tor larger growth and tho doing of greater good to their neighbors and to needy strangers who might come their way. S They founded and built tho town of Bethel, with mills, shops, stores, school and church, and they also acquired another tract some miles distant and built tho town ot Nlnerah, Mo, where there was water power for mills and mechanical operations. S Tho epochal emigration to tho Oregoa country started largely from Missouri, and tho colonists built wagons and made plows and gloves and other essentials for outfitting the covered, wagon trains. Soon the urge ot pioneer ing, that had brought them la sailing resels to America and to the now lands ot Pennsylvania and adjoining states, and then to Missouri, aroused a desire for establishing a branch in tho ulti mate west, near the shores of the Pacific. So they made np a party to go westward, and la 1851 eight men and one woman with a covered wagon outfit Joined a train of emigrants headed toward the set ting sun. Adam Knight and his brother Joseph, father of John Knight, were members ot that party of nine going to spy out the new home. The leader, chief pro tagonist of the new way of Ufa, next to Dr. Kell, was Christian Glesy. and the woman was his wife, parents of Dr. A. J. Giesy of Portland. S The party of nine crossed the plains without any untoward Inci dents and contacted with Esra Meeker, who had come in '52 and wintered below Portland and was looking for larger opportunities north of the Columbia river. Meeker selected the site for his first cabin home where the fed eral penitentiary is now, on Mc Neil island. The Bethel spies chose location on Wlllapa bay, an arm of anoaiwater hay, not xar from the present South Bend, county seat ot Pacific county. Washington. The spies took up and took over large tract of land there and begaa the work ot clearing part of it for crops and erecting houses In preparation of the main party of their people, scheduled to fol low in 1855, predicated upon the receipt of favorsble reports. These, by the slow malls, were unanimous, and in the summer of 1854 Adam and Joseph Knight went back, by way of San Fran clsco. to report In person. S Preparations tor the starting ot the large party in 1855 were speeded up, and it came that year. That Is a long and interesting story, for which there is not room here. But the Knights did not come back with the 1855 train. On its arrival at the newly select ed Wlllapa home in the fall, after making surveys, it was decided that another location ahould bo sought, nearer to markets, and where tho cost of clearing land would not bo so great, etc.; so another set of members started to spy out a more favorable site for the western settlement. Finally, early In 1851, the place that be came Aurora, named for one ot Dr. Kelrs daughters, was selected. the first land bought, and work begun, making Improvements and Building a town. That work waa kept up until tho death ot Dr. KelL tho leader, December 20, ISTT,' and tor a time thereafter. under tho trustees, when all tho property was divided among tho member, in Missouri and Ore gon. Thoy bad 22,500 acres ot good land and all tho property ot throe towns to divide; leaving ov ary ono with a competence; tho total value being, as of say 1S2S, sent. Senator Upton defended tho catastrophe and refunding provi sions and declared no honest highway commissioner w o a 1 d break faith with tho people oa these points. I have been wonder ing it Senator Upton will roach for the honesty of our present. and Incoming highway commis sioners as they hare been scatter ed like sheep without a shepherd.
