Story Of Early Days Told
By Frank Fulton Wins Place
‘‘Fulton-Ville” after Colonel Ful
ton.
Perhaps you would like to know
how Spanish Hollow leceived its
name.
Before the days of th«
wagon road, the Mexicans came up
with pack trains. These Mexicans
camped at the Eaton place and
wintered at the spring. All Mex
icans are called Spaniards. Conse
quently the settlers named the
place Spanish Hollow.
China Hollow got its name from
an incident that occurred in the
early 60’s. Two Chinatnen Ihad
started to walk from The Dalles
to Walla Walla where they intended
to start a laundry. They had got
ten as far in their journey as what
we now know to be the Huck
ranch, wlhere they were assailed by
two renegade white men who
thought that the Chinamen had
money. They beat and killed tlhe
two Chinese, took what little mon
ey they had. and left. One man,
John Gorman, was arrested but
nothing came of it.
On the Dave Fulton place be-

deeply there was a large muddy
flat witlh. a big spring on it. This
flat was always found with mud on
it, so it was named Mud Hollow.
The canyons were cut in the
years of 66 and 67 during the time
of high water. One spring after
the ditches were first cut in ’66,
little Dave and John Fulton, while
playing about in one of these
ditches, found a huge tusk which
crumbled after exposure to the air.
The boys father had the hired man
dig out one of the tusks which was
about twelve feet long. They found
a great many more bones and took
them to Dr Condon in The Dalles
He identified them as prehistoric
bones and became so interested
that he started collecting bones
for himself. We all know that he
later became the state geologist.
Many of these prehistoric bones
came from Fossil. The first dis
play of the bones was at the dis-
