Wood, and bas been a guest while lure at the latter'e residence. He is a well-pBerved and cheerful old gen tleman, and his reminiscences ot early timeB are worth liBtbning to by the younger brood of Oregonians. Capt, Wheeler is 78 years old, and came to Oregon in 1847, 64 years ago. He has seen the elate grow from a wil derness into a great commonwealth, and has aided in Its growth. Shortly after ii ib ttifvui in iuo atam ti was among those who responded to the call of Gov ernor Abernethy, Oregon's first territor ial executive, to take part in ihe Cayuse Indian war following the Whitman massacre, and was severely wounded in the battle of Well Springs, in what ia now khown as Gilliam county.
