The following from the pen of
Fred Lockley, noted historical and
pioneer w riter of the Portland O re­

readers of the E nterprise.
W hen L ion countv recently held
its annual pioneer celebration st
Brownsville, I was asked to m ake
a talk on pioneer days and pioneer
w ars. I went to A lbany on tbe
Oregon Electric, caught the South­
ern Pacific for Halsey and tr a n s ­
ferred to an auto stage for Brow ns­
ville
I have jogged about quite a
bit during tbe past 25 years, but in
all th a t tim e I never saw a more
accomodating stage driver th an tbe
man who bandies the passenger
ousiness between
Halsey
aud
Brownsville.
I noticed several
sm all aiIk flag? flying from tbe rid -

yellow. Pointing to them , I said

W hen we reached Brownsville,
he drove some distance up a side
street to let a lady passenger off st
her home and thou asked where I
wanted to so. I told him I wanted
to go to tb i hotel. He said, ” W »
nave no hotel, hut I will take you
to a lodging house.” We drovej
from one p a rt of the town to tl.e
other, only to discover th a t all the
rooms had been taken. I told him
to drop me off and 1 would rustle
a room somewhere, but he Baid his
job included landing me at some
definite destination, so we wou'd
drive o u t to the picnic grounds,
where he thought be could locate

and if he d id n 't find anyone there,
