In nrltlsh Columbia, nnd after Innumerable hardships and adven tures they reached their goal. For ten years ho lived among tho Indians around Pond d'Orollle and Couor d'Alcne lakes, only seeing the faco of a white man on tho occasional visits of Hudson Bay parties to their Indian camp. Tiring of the nomadic Indian life, and hungering for a sight of white men and white men's homes, he left the Indians and came to tho Clearwa ter, where he worked for Spauldlng, the associate of Dr. Whitman, for a year. He recalU Spaiildlng's kindly teach ings and remarknbly humane treat ment of the Indlaim nnd once warned the missionary of a Bccrct plot among the IndlanB to murder nil tho whites at the mission. Hn rnmo on down the Snake and tho Columbia and stopped at the Whit man settlement nnd then thirsting for tho green fields of the beautiful Willamette he followed the resistless tide of settlement on down, westward, locating at French Tralrlc, Marlon county, the Canadian settlement, where ho took part in the formation of Oregon territory and stood by the government of the United States agnlnst the Hudson Bay Company. He located a claim In French Prai rie in 1839, married a hnlf-hreed squaw, from whom lie was separated 30 years ago, and who lives today with a great-granddaughter, six miles from Meacham, In the Blue mountains. He followed the iguiis fntuus dream of gold to the California mines, sick ened with scurvy, went broke nnd came hack to his farm at French Prairie, content to raise cnttlo and listen to his bronzed wife croon to her babes In the shadowB of the Cascades. When settlement and civilization crowded thickly about his wilderness in tho Willnmotte, lie turned his eyes to Eastern Oregon, and was the first Frenchman to settle on Catherine creek, a settlement of French peoplo which inter became famous through out Eastorn Oregon. That was in 1S02 and he lives to day on the old homestead. About his checkered nnd variegated life the whole history of the rise and estab lishment of an empire clusters. He sat in the "wolf meetings" nt French Prairie, where the virgin empire of Oregon trembled ill the balance. Ho hauled his wheat to Dr John Me- i f 5 I.aughlln's grist mill nt Oregon City.

When he speaks of the thrilling scenes through which he has passed, since that memorable year of 1824, in which he turned his face westward from St. Louis now SO years ago more than tho length of two full gen erations of men, he taps his forehead restlessly and says: "Walt, wait; lot me tlnk; dat ees many years ago; ze head some time forget, you know."
