the Subject
The 1002 season will bo thogriat-
est bicycle season ever known. The
finest equipped and most up-to-date
wheels that Coquille riders ever laid
tbeir eyes ou will be kept in stock
at right prices, and if you want one
say so.
We want your trade, and we are
entitled to it, because we have
good goods, right prices, and can
serve you well. You don’t expect
anym ore, but you want that much,
don’t you.
Not far from where we first came
upon the river, down stream, and
to the right, wns an opening of
several acres in the woods where
another young bachelor rancher
had entered a “ claim,” and began
home making. I knew him very
well.
He was said to have a col­
lege diploma, and also to have a
fine young woman; a “schoolmis­
tress,” by the way, “ engaged” to
go into the wilderness with him,
“ in the sweet by and bv,” which
may be true or false, but don’t for­
get the “ college ranch,” for we
shall pass that way again ere long,
at shorter range.
Not much further along, we pass
another gate and see before us an­
other opening in the woodB.
In
following an Oregon trail, one
soon gets used to opening and
closing gates, and putting up bars.
It is usually at the end of some
great tree which has been cut out
of tbe way, but the only sign of a
fence will be a swath of brush,
and more logs staked and topped
out with smaller poles, marking the
limit of somebody’ s cattle rnnge.
The gate is never expected to keep
any one out.
You are at libc rty to
follow tbe trail, but you are ex­
pected to shut the gate, or put up
the bars when you have passed
through.
The trail has now assumed quite
the appearance of a road, and our
marching line is much shortened
in consequence, two or more eas­
ily going abreast.
It skirted the
hillside some distance above the

flew, while we marched on, and ar­
ranged ourselves along the trail,
looking down upon the buildings,
and the river, and the small clear­
ing whero a five years residence of
the man in possession had not yet
arrived at the dignity of growing
llis own potatoes.
It was the
claim of Soloman Shiftless, a good
man for days works for other peo­
ple, but a mighty poor one to
work for Soloman. He had not
succeeded in “ raising” anything
there but children of whom, if I
remember the count right, there
were six beside Soloman, Jr., and
the dog.
so thick a bird could scarcely get
through if, but
Sol somehow
would turn his wire edge against
it, and get on with such speed, as
often to be lost to view, when I
would call a halt, until I came up.
He was a sure enough “ child of the
wilderness.” One who let his moth­
er cut the fire wood and bring it in;
make and repair tbe brtish fence
around a diminuative garden spot,
and plant and hoe what few vege­
tables tbe ranch produced.
He
was his father’ s own boy, even as
“ young Jerry” was “old Jerry’s own
boy,” in Dickens’ “ Talc of Two
Cities.”
Both were “ Juniors” in
every possible sense of the word,
and in them, when one knew the
father, one knew the family, or at
least it’s elder scion.
When ‘Sol’ emerged from the
cabin with my valise, he was
followed by his mother, and all the
family, who lined up on the bank.
That cabin was the post office, and
as I had often been there before,
the Inly of the house sent her
voice over and asked if I was “not
going to call,” but I bad to make
my excuse as we wore in haste to
get through and get Bottled for the
night, promising to see them all
many times before we went away.
Besides the baby in her arms, the
others—standing in a line, their
heads stepped off dowu like stairs.
At one time I knew all their names
and ages, but somehow like many
other important things in my car­
reer, they are forgotten now, and
I could not name one of them to
save my neck, and that woman,—
really I always felt sorry for
her—anchored in the woods, as she
Was, with her husband away most
of the time, “ doing days work”
for other people, and Sol Jr., in
the woods with his dog and gun; a
veritable young Rip Van Winkle,
only be never got lost on the
mountains, and staid away twenty
years, for the benefit of the fam­
ily.
But be this said in faVor of 8ol-
omnn Jr: he liked all the small­
er children, was g cod to them, and
helped take care of them, and
amuse them, when at home. He
wouldn't vnrk, but as he never
studied the game laws, his gun
kept their table well supplied with
venison, elk meat, and wild fowls
of every eatable variety.
Every­
thing in the woods that walked or
flew, wns his if he couid get it,
and he even had two bear skins
nailed up on their “ shack” barn.
His conversation was like unto him.
He had a few funny anti-profane
slang words, but I never heard Sol
swear or indulge in obscene talk
or tell a story ’twer better not told.
That is a whole lot in his favor, ahd
when in the woods and in the lead,
he was all ears and eyes, and had a
footstep as silent as an Indian’s on
the warpath.
No matter how
tired ho was when he came in lrom
a hunt, his gun was no sooner in
the rack, than he had the baby in
his arms, (there was always a baby
in that cabin) while he complacent­
ly allowed his mothor to chop the
wood aud bring it in.
For the
last three or four years no doubt
his gun had done about as much
toward tbe “ family feed” ns his
father’s outside work, and auy
man who would have put the “ game
warden” after him, in my judge­
ment, should have double the pun­
ishment allotted the boy,
who
must have something to eat, as
well as the loved little oues at
home, who perhaps were some­
times hungry.
