filled his apprehensions then expressed.
Upon receipt of tho news of the massacre
1 ,, f- 1. ..!.. an1 Oll Hltl.
there was a can lor ramrai. . ,- ;
z?ns of French Prairie met at Oreeoire s,
where 47 men immediately enlisted for tho
war. Tom McKay was a heroic character in
those early days. Grim had heard if him anil
knew that ho came with the Astor expedition,
thirty-live years before. McKay was a
natural leader, though then an old man, ann
was present at Grcgoiro's to inspire the set
tiers with his own resolution. Unm remem
tors how McKay rode up and down the
prairie, orating and gesticulating to the crowd,
which responded freely to his appeals and
soon Ind quite a company on the war path
It is probable that Grim, having just arrived
and without a home shelter for his young
family did not volunteer.
One day in October, 1847, just arter Grim
l-.i o;i..i ,nurind his wheat. Jesse Boon,
afterwards of B .on7" ferry, came to sco him
and ask the loan of a horse to rule to the
Kickreal. He said, "Glim, if you will lend
tno-a pony I will will pay you by telling you
a 9erv important piece of news.' It required
no promise of pay for a nuitlibor to get the
loan of a horso from John Grim. So Boon
had no delay in reaching the Kickreal. Tho
....... l, lo( ,.! imtinrtant and soon after set
.!, ,,.rl,1 u.ilil with astonishment. It was
that Sutter's workmen had discovered gold on
l,o Qfu-rimmtn. Kx-GoV. BOBHS. of Mis
souri, was then in California and he had sent
up word to friends in uregon hiivisihk wimi
to como down in haste and reap their share of
the harvest of gold.
This news went through Oregon a-, it went
elsewhere, on the wings of the wind, and
though it was then October, Grim and others
soon outfitted audcomincnced the long journey
of COO miles through a wilderness whero sav
age tribes were master. A few weeks took
them to tho then mining region, and their
party of five Oregonians went prospecting on
their own account on the .upper waters of the
American river. They camped one night
without apprehension of danger and waked
suddenly in tho midst of a yelling horde of
savages, who made night hiJeous fearfully
so. Grim rose in his bankets, took in the
situation and made a sudden rush. The black
cirelo of savages parted to let him through,
and as he ran tlio midnight gauntlet, they let
arrows fly at him as ho passed. He got away
from camp and hid amonf rocks and bushes,
supi osing that his comrades were all murdered
in their sleep, and conscious that he was
wounded in several placos. Arrows had
pierced ono arm and a leg; a wound in his
foot was discovered some days after that
proved very troublesome. The worst was nn
arrow that enter' il tho side and penetrated
some distance and projected from tho wound.
Thoro in tho wild mountains, alonn and
wounded, probably unto death, was a cheer
less situation. Suddenly a gun was fired, and
ho saw and heard Indians scampering in all
directions. Ho crawled back to tho camp and
found thrco of his companions unharmed and
in possession. When they camped they left
their guns under a tree close by, without any
suspicion of danger all but ono young fellow,
who laid his rillo at tho Bide of his blankets
As soon as ho realized tho situation aid saw
tlio danger of becoming a target for arrows,
he fired this buii off, anil in a twinkling every
Indian vamoos- d tho ranch. They wcro un
acquainted with firo arms, and a gun -vas a
terror to tho untutored "tar heads," for they
were tho miserable California Diggers, scarce
human, who covored their heads with tar from
scrub pines to keep tho vermin from infesting
them. Hoping to get fomo plunder, they sur
rounded tho sleeping camp and find a perfect
swarm of arrows into tho blankets. The
grouud all about thu camp was literally cov
ered with arrows. They oxpected to shoot
all tho sleepers as thoy roso. Only two rose,
Grim, who was pretty full of arrows, and a
youtig Frenchman iianit.il Tevis, who was
killed. Tlio other threo staid under the thick
Hudson's Bay blankets and escaped "Scot
free.' The blmkets bristled with arrows like
tlio 'fretful poicupiue." Die bojsgithciiyt
airovvs from tho ground ami plucko I then
hum tho hlmikots and 2 oked breakfast with
them, and them were lots of arrows left over
The t.ir heads threw away a great quantity of
ammunition in their unsuccessful attempt.
Thu next morning they bulled poor Tevis,
who was a great favor to with them and
whoso death tin j' seriously mourned. Grim
was in a medicament. I'liey tied up and
minded his wounds ns well ns possi de, but
thobirbof tho Hint arrow head refused to
como on, of tho w omul in his side, whu-o it
vviia b ddid die p. They tried to pull it out,
but it would not como. Finilly, Giim sharp
ened his jackm'o and carved it out himself
It was a rough turgivil operation, out success
ful. He was of tough material, and had a
healthy body that wouldn't tlio for any slight
cause. They had one pack horse with them,
bo hoisting their wounded companion on
his back, tin y started Mowly down tho river
to find sunn place win lo ho could be caicd
for. Tin y pisml quite near to a camp of In
dians; they suppose I to bo their assailants,
but wcro not molested.
After sevtrsl day' slow progress they came
to a miner's camp on the American river, and
thero they left (iiim and went back to their
prospecting. It proved to bo the camp of an
old genibinin mined Cyrus, whoso homo was
near Nap i, where he had possessions under
a Mexican grant Cyius and two sons and
two son -in-law had found good diggings
'llioj to k tiriiu in without a iitstiou and
cut d for him in tho most Cluistian inanuir,
and never askul for compensation. Those
weio the halcyon da.vs of California mining

fishnets had leache i there. As Gum lay help
less in I ed ho saw thu fimilvcaeh day cltau

had lich iliggiu..s, and th y panned out well.
I hey wuikid a lookir inly, and had no bet
ter pio.'ess to go li
After some days they heard minora of Indi
nns at'nckuig different camps and concluded
it was not safe to remain, so they packed up
and started for home. It was only a few days
slow journey with horses from Xipa to the
American river. The old gcutlciuiti told the
Imjs bo "tli light they had gold enough to do

urged him to como to Napa and become their
nughtvr Tiny ottered him as much land as
ho could hold in Oregon a section a free
gift, and would sell him more, if he wanted,
at a reasonable price.
When thev leached Sutter'araco tluj' found
people living ttiere who could make Grim
comfortable; so they lett mm at that place.
Here he waa acain treated with kindnett and
ere he uu Acnui treated with kindness and
cared for at well as ptible, uutil begot able bed. The tirtt tract laid along it was
to return and aid hit own company. But for ' wrecked iu a thort time A temporary trick

WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, FEBRUARY
had a small piece of opium, w'hich she freely
tendered. By knowing a littlo of this, Grim
was greatly relieved, and thankfully remem
bered the kindness that procured it for him.
When aoie to travel ne rejoineu ins vuwpauj,
doing such light work as cooking for awhile,
until he regained full strength. During the
winter the Oregonians, some of them, got
very tired of the mines. Tho living was hard
and the weather was Bevcrp. Heavy rain
ttorms and deep snows alternated in the
mountains. It is astonishing how the value of
gold depreciates to a man who is homesick
and tin d of living on beans and jerked beef.
Grim, too, had rather a rough experience, so
he and his neighbor, Uncle Bill Whitney,
made up their minds to go home. They
started afoot, made their way down to Sacra
mento, having a serious encounter with a
murderous gang before they got out of the
mountains, but escaping by good management
and a bold front. While some in fact, most
of the miners wero kind and hospitable,
there were somo murderous villains too mean
to work for gold were it ever bo abundant.
They went down tho Sacramento in a Russian
launch and endured a two days' storm in Sui
sun bay, where the crew gave up for lost, but
they weathered tho gale and reached San
Francisco, whTe they found no w harf to land
at, so had to wade ashore. Taking ship they
reached Oregon and home in tho early sprintf.
Grim brought back S1.CO0 in gold, the result
of a few weeks' work. He left home in Octo
ber, reached the mines in November, got
wounded and lost several weeks' time, and
quit wotk in Januarj'. The best season for
mining was just at hand, but he was homesick
and tired ot such rough life. The glitter of
gold lost its attra.tionm comparison with tho
charms of home.
"There's no place like homo I"
When they rt ached Oregon ho found his
wheat field looking luxuriant, and it made a
good crop tho lame summer. He had 1,500
bushels of wheat, and that fall ho took his
sivings from gold mining, and bought wheat
of his neighbors at 7.) cents a bushel, so they
could outfit for the mines. Tho next year h
raised another crop, and along in the summer
of 1S32, ho had 2,r00busbclsof wheat on hand
hat he sold to John McCracken at $2 50 per
bushel. Market repoiti wire not published
daily then as they are now, and he thought
he was making a big thing of it, and so he
was, but wheat was actually worth 4 50 per
bushel, so he might have had ?5,000 more.
These incidents serve to show the character
of pioneer times, and describe the stirring
scenes the early comers went through to win
success. They did win it, and the recital of
their expcrii nee equals in interest the bright
est tales of fiction.
Judge Grim (ho earned the title by ofEci il
service in tho early daj-s) says that when he
hid finally located he made a trip around the
valley for a day or two, and, when ho got
back to the family, told his wife that he was
fully satisfied with tho country, for it was
re.lly better than ho expected. Nature never
mado any region more beautiful. The Wil
lamette valley appeared at its be-t in the
primeval diys, when the hand ot man had
neither marred it nor embellished it. Far
and near, hummed in by mountain ranges,
the variety of landscape included stream and
forest, rolling hills and spreading prairies. It
is not possiblo for nature to be more luxuriant
in variety of foliage, or more attractive in
changing vistas than tho Willamette valley
appeared, previous to 1850.
In a single month in the spring of 18S2, im
migration (quailed in number all the arrivals
that occurred, previous to tho discovery of
gold. The 5,000 who oime that April were
swallowed up in tho mass of population. Tho
5,000 of that wonderful decade of the '40's h d
a heroic purpose. Thoy will always be re
membored aB tho pioneers, who made Oregon
ami savod this beautiful and valuablo region
to the United States.
CLOSING THE OAP.
A Glanco Along the Line of the N. P. R.K.--
Less than 270 Miles of Track to Lay
Interesting Interview with
Chief Engineer A. Anderson.
The arrival in Portland of Adna Anderson,
Engineer in Chiot of tho Northern Pacific
Rulroad, who arrived on the last steamer,
t tiered tho Xein an oppirtunity of obtaining
some interesting information relative to the
progress of tho Northern Pacific westward.
Mr. Audersoti's headquarters aro at Brainerd,
Minnesota, an important railroad jui ction
north of St. Paul, and whero tho main liro
from tho west send out two prongs or lines,
ono south to St. Pail', and tho other east to
Lake Superior. Mr. Anderson readily an
swered all questions relative to the progress
of tho road from tho Kast, and imparted some
useful information relative to tho character
of tlio country now being opened up by this
wonderful and magnificent system of rail
vvajs. In reply to tho direct question as to
w hen tho last spiko would be driven w hieh
will connect Portland with tho rett of the
United States bj- steel ties, Mr. Andersou
said : "Thero is no doubt whatever in my
mind ns to tho completion oftho line and its
opening for through tratlic

lly tho first of next September. The juuetion
between the two eiuls will be made some time
in August, perhaps in Julys but regular
trails will not bo run through for several
dajs after tho driving of the last spike."
"What is the ctent of th gap between the
two ends ot tho Noithein Pacific?"
"About 270 miles of track remains to bo
laid to connect tho two ends of tl o line.
Our trains from tho Kast aro running regu
larly to a point thirteen miles cast of Bozc-
man, Montana. It might be said that the
entire Yellowstone division is in running
order. The end of the div ision is 340 miles
wist of Gleudive. Considerable difficulty
has been xperienced in the construction of
this division, ow ing to tho peculiar character
of the bliitls along the Yellow stone, Tho

it is again crossed, and near the western
end of this division it is crossed a third and
lait time. The maximum grade of this di
vision is 26.4 feet per mile, and the total
rise from Glendive to Livingston, 340 miles,
is 2,410 feet."
"What work is there to be done on the
Rocky mountain division ?"
BETWEEN BOZEMAN AND HELENA.
"The grading lictween Bozeman and Hele
na, and between the last named point and
Missoula, is nearly all completed. This divi
sion como ences at the point where tho road
leaves the Yellowstone valley; crosses the
Belt mountains by a tunnel at the summit of
B zeman pass, 3,000 feet long; follows the
valleys of the East Gallatin, the Missouri and
the Prickly Pear to IleleDa; crosses the main
range of the Rocky mountains by a tunnel at
Mullan pass, 3,850 feet long, and ends at the
Little Blackfoot river, on the western slope of
the mountaios. It is 151 J miles long."
"Is not this division of the road very
mountainous in character ?"
"Yes, it requires much more labor to open
the road throutrh the mountains than it does
where the working forces have an open coun
try to work in. The highest elevations at
tained by the road are at the summit grade at
Bozeman tunnel, 5,565 feet, and at the Mullan
tunnel, 5,548 feet, above the level of the sea.
The maximum grade of this division is 52 8
per milp, except in crossing the mountain
range", where a maximum of 110 feet is cm
ployed." "Has this heavy work been progressing at
tho same time the work on this Pacific end of
the road has been pushed eastward?-'
HEAVY OKADINO.
"res, and most of the heavy work has been
completed. Our forces commenced work near
the crossing of tho upper Missouri river in
August, 1881, and continued to Helena, Mon
tana, a distance of 32 miles. In November of
the same year work was commenced in the
Mullan tunnel on this division. We use pow
er drills here, worked by compressed air. It
is a gigantic task, but it is nearly completed.
Our men are at work now at the Bozeman
tunnel. The approaches to this immense ex
cavation are through wet earth and numerous
springs, which renders excavation somewhat
difficult, but I feel sure that there will be no
delay occasioned by this tunnel."
"What of thi Missoula division; whero
does it commence and end, at-d what amount
i f work has been di lie on it!"
"This division, I am happy to say, is nearly
all graded and ready for tho rails. It extends
from the end of the Ri cky Mountain division
a distance of 103 miles to tho head of Clark's
Fork of the Columbia river. It follows the
valleys of the Little Blackfoot and Hell Gate
rivers to Missoula, crossing the Coriacan de
file in the valley of the Jocko river, and then
descending that stream to the Flathead river,
and then along the Flathead to where it joins
the Missoula and forma Claik's Fork. The
total descent from the east to the west on the
division is 2,560 feet. Tho maxmium grades
are 52.8 feet per mile, except at the crossing
of a mountain spur at the Coriacan defile,
where the grade is 116. In this defile the
highest trestle work on the entire line of the
road has been constructed. It is called the
Marent Gulch treBtle, 750 feet long and 222
high. Hell Gato river is crossed ten times.
Truss bridges will be built of the timber of
the country. The western end of the Missoula
division tor 53 miles passes through the Flat
head Indian reservation. Consent for the
company to build this portion of its line was
obtained from tho Indians last summer, aud
grading and tracklaying is now being done
i .l: i r i, !:..
iroui hub euu ui mw ,wv.
KOAI) NEAIILV ALL (IRAPED.
"According to your statement, Mr. Ander
son, the road is now almost graded?"
Yes, it requires comparatively little more
gradiug to prepare the road bed for the iron.
The principal delays will bo occasioned by
bridge work, tunnel making and heavy woik
in tho mountains. There has been some very ,
heavy work done on the Clark's Fork divi
sion. Tho difficulties in the way of construct
ing tho load up Clark's Fork aro extreme, the
valley being a mountain gorge densely tim
bered, broken, locky and precipitous. No
road exists save a pony trail on the opposite
bank from the railway line, and numerous
rapids interfere with tho navigation of the
ncr. But oven hero the bulk of the heavy
work has been finished, and it will not be long
ere the 128 miles from Stud Point to the head
of Clark's Fork may be pronounced finished.
I can see no ground upon wdnch to base a
doubt of tho completion of tho Northern Pa
cific from St. Paul, Minn., to Wallula and
Portland during this coming summer. Of
course, I cannot set a specific day, week or
month, but it will be during the summer."
THUOCIil! CARS TO C1IICAU0.
"Will the completion of your road give us
a through line to Chicago, and if so, which
lino will co-operate with the N. P from St.
Paul to Chicago."
"There aro two railroads whbh will con
nect at St. Paul with our trains from the
Pacific. Tho Chicago aud Northwestern aud
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul roads
are both friendly to this line, and will con
nect with us, so that cars may run through
from Portland to Chicago."
What is the character of the country
through which tho Noithern Pacific has been
built; it it being settled on the eastern side of
the m untaius as rapidly as it is on the Pa
cifio eud ? "
"I cannot say as to whether the eastern
end of the road is settling up along its line as
rapidly as tome portions of this western end,
but I know of settlements aud influx of popu.
la'ion along the Yellow tone division during
the past year. Last July the etoct ra'ting
distnetsof Kastern Moutaua v.ere reached,
since which time many thousands of ottle
have been shipped over the line Kast. The
road rum through a good grazing country in
Kastern M utanaand Western Dakota. Kist
of Bismarck the country is becoming deosly
settled with wheat grow era. Stock raising
on thu Yellow atone, the Big Horn and the
upper regions north of the road, is still in its
infancy, and will prove to be one of the best
stock regiona iu the world."

"What of the winter climate along the line
of the new road?"
"It is milder, Bteadier and better for atock
raising than the region south along the lines
of railroads in Nebraska, Wyoming and
Colorado.
AS FOR THE CLIMATE
Of Washington Territory and Idaho, you
know and the people here on the Pacific coast
know what that is. The toad aa it comes
West opens up a wheat, cattle and timber re
gion. The portion of our line building east
ward on the Pacific slope has now penetrated
the gri at forest tract on the Clark's Fork of
the Columbia river. Lumbering operations
will soon noon sprin? up there for the supply
of the extensive regioi s of FaBtorn Washing
ton almost destitute of timber, and will fur
nish an important source of tonnage to the
road It is unnecessary to allude to the rich
mineral regions it will open up in Montaua
and Idaho, or the immense coal regions to be
penetrated by the Pacific coast branches."
Mr. Anderson speaks in quiet but enthu
astio terms of the lharacter of tho country
along the line of tho new road, and predic's
lively business along the entire line this year.
He will make a tour of inspection over the
entire line, starting from Portland and ko by
stae from the western end ot tne tracic w me
eastern end, at or near Bozeman, Montana.
