Aged Pioneer Passes Away.
There died at Hi Habere, this state,
the other day, a man who well linked
the past with the present. Ninety
two years of age at his death, be
entered tbe employ of Hudson Bay
Company in 18:ttl, when 22. He took
a donation olaim In 1841 where
Olympia, the oapital of Washington,
now stands it was all Oregon terri
tory theu but in 1842 changed his io
oantion to the Tualatin plains in
Washington county west of Portland.
It is somewhat remarkable that in all
his 70 years of ownership of his claim
he had jno mortgage on it, neither
som nor onerea any or it tor sain. He
was well acquainted with the man
who in those days held the Indians
and the safety of the scattered whites
so well in baud Dr. John HoLTuig
lain, the Hudson Bay factor. He
described Dr. McLougblin as a great
man aud his success in dealiug with
the Indians as being remarkable. Up
to the last be retained his mental
faonltirs, and his wonderful memory
of pioneer duys was a history of
itself.
