is but one conspicuous item of which
she had more theu than now, and

Silurians that the town was as big as !
it ever wculd be and that a man who 1
would invest money in It was a fool ; j
they would not believe in the town
nor would they leave it and give some
enterprising man a chance. On Satur
day, Joly 81st, 1886, I fell in with
some of them and as I. am an .expert
whittler and always rarry a good
pocket knife for that purpose, we all
went to work on a now goods box in
front of the Sugar Pine store. I ar
goed about the diversity of industry
possible under our natural conditions,
admitting,' of coarse, that if we were
too lazy to Improve these opportunities
and perferred to put in our time doing
nothiug, the town wonld never grow.

had to take her too. Mrs. Boyd was a
good woman of noble impulses aud
was esteemed by all who knew her;
the maid also was respected and
LouU, the valet, was a geutluiau lu
his sphere; next and last came the
strutty J. C, who, as Hearst would
have it, belonged to the "better

qn trter of a million and objected to
paying his little hills. One of his
flist breaks was to enter the home

south of town. Her place had been
bought by her husband while Oregon
was a territory. Al that early oay 1

count of a funeral. He said that one
day as he was riding past a log cabin
iu a big clearing he saw a little old
man 80 or 00 years old run around the
o irner of the house crying. Supposing
something awful had happened he
tied bis horse to a pile of rails aud
weut to the door. Iu the house sat a
mau much older than the other uioud
ing shoes He asked him what caused
the little old man to cry. "Why,"
said the shoemaker, "the little devil
sassed his grandfather and I had to
lick him." He said that out iu Ore
Ron at 80 aud DO yerss of age they
were just little devils.
I can well remember also what he
said about the productiveness of the
soil. I do not remember the exact
language, but the sabaUuoe of it was
that In the Fall ot the year at hog
killiug time it was a common custom
to out off the tails of all Ihe hogs
killed and stiok them iu the grouud aud
go back there the next Fall and kill a
big, fat hog off of each tail I wa
young and was iven more credulous
then than now. At any rate these
stories, which I folly believed, gave
me the Oregon fever, and my mother
said though I could not read, I would
get a history of Oregon which we had
aud look at the pictures for hoars and
talk about Oregou.
When I first came to Oregou I ohauged
about a good deal trying to find Hawk
