That CoUntry When Railroads Con

Midway between John Day and Mt.
Vernon is the home of D. W. Jenkins.
a typical settler of the early days.
Mr. Jenkins is 93 years old ami though
he sleeps well and has a good appe
tite lie complains of becoming tired
more readily than he did G years ago'
He is a veteran of the Mexican war,
and could draw .a pension for his sen-'
ices In that war hut declines to do so
as he does not need the money.
Lively Times in 77.
"We had lively times here when
General Howard was after the Nez
Forces in "7." he said. - That stone
fort you see in the yard was built
then. It is solid stone. It has no win
dows only narrow loop holes to shoot
through. "We could stand off all the
Indinns in the country in that fort.
The only way they could get us would
be to starve us out.
"When I heard the Indians were
coming up the valley 1 took our organ
and furniture and hid it In the bush.
They did lots of deviltry and killed
Jim Small's nephew, who was herding
sheep and a good deal of stock.
Mrs. Jenkins, who is 10 or 15 years
younger than her husband also
related many incidents or the early
days. Many years past the alloted
span of three score years and ten she
drives out to the summer camp, where
their sheep are ranged, with supplies
for the herders.
Mr. Jenkins is one of the pioneer
settlers of the John Day valley and
was formerly engaged in packing and
mining. Of late years, however, he
has devoted his energies to stock rais
ing. Some of the best horses in the
neighborhood coming from his stal
Jon, Mt. Vernon.
- J. G. Nealan.
A small man. with a close-cropped
sandy moustache and sandy gray
hair in answer to my inquiry said:
"Me name is J. G. Nealan. No doubt
you've heard of me. I'm somewhat
well known in Grant county. I made
some monoy here in early days and
I have a thrifle of it left yet. but me
tinants and renters trying to beat me
out of my honest dues, It is a won
dor I have any left.
"Oh, yes, I presume ye have heard
of my law suits. Tney says if old
Johnny Nealan should die the lawyers
could afford to put up a tin thousand
dollar monumint.
In Court for Twenty Years.
"I havn't missed a case in court
these 2u years. Well, I could have
had a deal more cases than I have
had if I had been hard on those that
owe me. Ye see with the amount of
money I've got out, an' the stock an'
shares, and the ranches rented, it's
not so very surprising that some of
them should try to beat me. But
when fiey do. why I sue them if It
costs me more than it is worth to win
the suit. It's Johhny Nealan's long
purse against their poverty and the
jury goes against me because I'm an
Irishman and am well fixed. I own
that fine house ye see in I.ong Creek
and a hall there and property here
and in a good many other places in
Grant county. I . wn a gjod share
of a salmon cannery in Alaska, too.
"No I'm not married, I've neither
chick nor child. I'm w-.ting for the
meeting of court and then I'm going
to California."
Happy When a Miner.
With all Mr. Nealan's property I
believe he was happier when he was
shoveling pay-din in the sluice bosea
in the eary 60's. His eyo gleamed
and there was a note of pleasure in
his voice when he told me of the time
when ho mined on Canyon croek and
Whisky Gulch.
"See this nugget I'm wearing on my
wntoH chain." he said, "It's JuH as It
came from the creek there and It Is
the perfect shape of n horse, mnno
tall and all."
Many Portuguese Settlers.
There aro a good many Portugese
settled ubout John Day. Silvers, Do
Souzn. Oliver and other Portugese
names on Grant county's record of
brands prove the fact. One of the
best known of Grant county's l'ortu
ge8e residents Is J. C. Oliver, of John
Day. For 35 years ho has delivered
milk and during that time be has only
twice failed to put In an appearance.

payers and is probably worth a hun

he does not neglect his customers.
All Old Timers.
Cobb, Hachency, Oliver, Silvers,
Nealen, Trowbridge, aro n:meo famil
iar to Grant county citizens for the
past 35 or -10 years. They are all
old timers.
B. C. Trowbridge owns a farm hair
a mile from John Day town. He has
6-10 acres of bottom land, upon which
he raises alfalfa, fruits, vegetables
and stock. A glance at the products
of his farm would convince the most
of his farmowntekn
skepiicr.1 that the John Day valley is
destined to be a great orchard coun
try when an outlet Is provided for the
products of the country. The only
market now is by wagon to Burns,
Prinevllle and other points where the
high cost of freight makes it expens
ive shipping there.
Fine honey, apples, peaches, pears,
prunes, and other fruits beside, corn,
tomatoes and many other vegetables
are grown here.
Canyon City.
Canyon City is two miles up Can
yon creek from John Day and Is a
mining town. With the coming of a
railroad it will see a good develop
ment as good nilues arc in its im
mediate vicinity both placer and
quartz.
Canyon City is the county seat of
Grant county and by referring to the
map .it will be seen it is located al
most in the geographical center of the
county. A rich agricultural country
the John Day helps by its products
and by its trade to make It a thriving
city. Many well-to-do stockmen live
at or near Canyon City or John Day,
With mines, stock and agriculture it
has an assured future.

The Time to Buy a Stove is Now
AT FRAZER'S,
A Good Production of 'Veil Gwynne"
by Clara Matties Company.
There was a large and enthusiastic
audience out last night to witness the
production of "Nell Gwynne." the "S.
O. R." sign being out early in the
evening.
Miss Mathes had come heralded as
a successful successor of Rhea and
Crossman in the celebrated role, and
her auditors last night were not dis
posed to challenge her right to the
honors, for applause was liberal and
vociferous from the moment she en
tered as the rollicking, big-hearted
street nymph of Drury Lane the un
tutored orange girl till the final cli
max, when the beautiful Nell was
made prime minister to the king.
after arduous battles for her friends
and numerous court conquests.
It was a far cry from her previous
roles, but Miss Mathes played the
part with a spirit that displayed gen
ius. The support was adequate in every
way. Delphos Lawrence enacted
King Charles II with dash and vigor,
and was heartily applauded. Mr.
Rowe as Fairfax, the exiled lover of
Lady Oliva, was virile and spirited in
its acting. The Lord Jefffrys of Mr.
Roberts was a living reproduction of
the stony-hearted chief justice of Eng
land. Mr, Elmore as Lord Rochester,
the patient lover, depicted the char
acter well. Bert Van Cleve and M,
W, Marsh kept the audier. jn laugh
ter, as tho court fool and the barn
stormer. Misses Iiwrence and Cleve
land did some of their best work as
court ladles, anil Miss Emma Mathes
as the Lady Olivia Vernon was sweet
and convincing, winning the sympa
thy of the audience from the start.
The costuming was exquisite and
historically correct, and the scenery
was appropriate to the play.
Tonight
The bill for tonight will be "A
Royal Spy," a new play controlled
by Miss Mathes. It Is a French mili
tary drama and some elegant spec
ial scenery will be used. A woman's
and children's matinee will be given
at 2.45 tomorrow at reduced prices.
A handsome writing set will be given
to the most popular teacher in the
city, to be voted upon by the children.
The bill will be the rollicking farce
comedy, "A Wife Wanted."
His Life in Peril.
"I Just seemed to have gone all to
nieces." writes Alfred Bee, of Wol-
fare, Texas, "biliousness and a lame
back h ad made life a burden. I
couldn't eat or sleep and felt almost
too worn out to work when I began
to use Electric Bitters, but they
worked wonders. Now I sleep like a
