'of pnon. and took possession of the spot. A town was hud out. ami In view of the expected iradine point, was named "lira ml lionde limliuii." Qu:l.. a trade at once sprang up v. uh the new oeltlcrs in Grand Koiide alley and people along the Umatilla, as well as a law retail trade with emigrants mid travellers following the river road from Hie Dalles to Walla Walla. It was made 11 regular landing place fur boats plying on the Colum bia river. They lived and did busi ness at first in tents, but houses were soon erected from loxs brought down from the L'matilla river, which gave the town a mure stable appearance. A hotel busings was among the pioneer j Industries of the place, a canvas 1 1 Plead on the ground serving the pur- j pose uf a table, and one dollar being I charged fur meals cooked on a lug j fire. Discovery of the Oranit creek mines that s'ininicr added a n w source of trade, and by fall they had a paying anil firmly established husi- ness. The Powder river and Hulse I mines opening that year, resulted in "unite a nnnihcr uf people deciding to 1 , fulluw Mr. Kane's example and start in ! business at some convenient point on ' the Columbia fur supplying that trade, j They made preparations as soon as: ; gumlx i-oul, 1 lie shiped up the river In j the spring. j (iiaiul lionde l.nndiiig Sees lis Finish j I'n the M hot August. 1 Sti2. Jesse H. 1. urchin made application to the Cov en, or to pre-empt about K") acres of I land Just aouve the mouth of the j I'matiHa river, being the tuwnsite of I I'matiHa City, lie offered to sell this ! t., Ur K'.,n f,,r tfillll fill lli-bitf- :i I tile moiiLli uf Hie river it looked like a I mure favurable lucation than Crand lionde Landing, and would have been so were It not that the rapids Interfer ed with navigation between the 1iv points. A steamboat eulild take a full cargo tu Ci-aiid llunde Lauding in low wuli r, but could only take a half loud over the rapids. Mr. Kane rejected the offer. Navigation op' ii"d early in the I spring uf st:t, and w-ith It came a man j named Spencer with a stuek of guuds. 1 who wanted to obtain Mr. Kane's store ! boas,, nnd go iiiio business there, this : he could nut uluain. and he decided tu ; tart an o;ipusition town at I.urchin'-i place, lie found an triply log cabin, 1 I one that hail been built by men eatch ' ing drift wood. This he 111 cuptcd fur a i:tuic, and laid out a tuwn which he named Columbia, but which was soon ; known and called l'matilla l-nridlng. 1 It was the season of high v.'aler then, land people not as familiar with steam i boating as was Mr. Kane thought i nothing uf the rapids below the town ' fleceived by the high water, other par ties loukini: for a good location pass id liiand llon.le landing anil selected ! I he new place. The people were like iihi-ep: the tide having set In followed (with a rush, and In a week n town 'sprang up at I'matiHa li-iudiug such ! as its founders never dreamed of. Mr. i Katio cured more for tiis business thai i he did for a lownsitc, and reading tin handwriting on the wall, abandoned the old location and moled to the new. where he opened and conducted for several years the largest business house at that place. I'matiHa, landing in one year be came a worthy rival of Walla Walla. A line of stages was established be tween this point and Powder river and Uoise, teams and pack animals lined (he load tu these places. A perfcet stream of travelers going and coming passed between l'matilla and the mines. Thui'sands of people and mil lions of pounds of freight paid tribute to ttits new city on the sands. '1 ho jaiv winds of the Columbia, whistled around rude frame and canvas struc tures that formed the city, but within those walls were stored goods uf eimr moiis value, while freight In great .iaotil:es was piled up on the river bank. l-'alooiis and gambling houses with the throngs which frequented them, formed a large portion of the bulk uf the population, but not of the business. They were as adjunct. 111 those duv.l cen.videi , ,i a necessary one, and only I'uurisln d because of the prospri-l tv ui the city In its more substantial lines of Itade. The loneliest and most des borate characters in tile mines made this their temporary home at times, end quarrels were the consequence and a "man for breakfast" was frequent. It was the repetition of the scenes of 'cvery live camp'' since the days of III In. California. No one expected anything else, and, in fact, the saloons were generally considered as a stand ard by which to Judge the prosperity of a town. It Is almost impossible to realize the umount of business trans acted in that city, built on the drifting sands of the Columbia. There were six stores that sold nil average of JJO'i, 1100 each per annum. In 1SUII, the firm of I'Yench & fiiiman alone sold $."0n,0"i worth of merchandise, chiefly gruceries both wet and dry. Itesidos these there were Ihree ur fuur small trading stands, a drug store, three ho tels, twenty two saloons, two dance hmises. two feed stables, two barber shops, tivo blacksmith shops, nnd a number of other establishments. During the yearn uf 1t5l-!i and fi the regular population was iibout l.Vui while the Homing and tranrlent ele ment numbered neurly as many more. The county was organized before the town sprang up, and It therefore was not until March lsiij that l'matilla secured the county seat. It was then the only regular town within Its lim its. Py an act of October :'l. liiiM. l'matilla City was incorporated, with a mayor, five aldermen, recorder, mar ihall nnd treasurer. A year later the people decided that the burden of sup porting a municipal government was unnecessary, and the charter neus re pealed by Act of December 18, ISO"., lo take effect June f, ism;. George. Coo was the first mayor and Daniel French second. Judge I I.. McArthur served as recorder both years. In 1X1)5 and IXH6 Idaho mines began to be supplied from .San Francisco by way of Chico and Honey l,ike Valley, drawing largely from the trade of l'matilla. From that tune on the town entered on the down grade. In 1S6.1 the Cen tral Pacific Railroad was completed In front Nevada, and the hulk of Idaho Itade followed it. This was a Waterloo to l'matilla, and business men began to leave, but not without taking a well filled purse as a result of their few years residence here. It was now time to commence kicking the dead lion. This was done by taking away the county scat In the spring of 1S6H. Cradually the town dwindled in trade and population until tbe building of the railroad to Pendleton In lxs; took the last forwarding business away. r trust the above somewhat lengthy sketch will please nii. 1 unc; lived In l'matilla, from the years iSTfi to lsTS.
