MAN HAS EXPERIENCE
IN CROSSING SASCADES
Eugene Guard:
C. E. McCurdy, the first man
known to have crossed the Cascade
mountains by way of Horse Creek
the winter, arrived in Eugene Sa
turday afternoon after an Hday trip
filled with hardships and dangers
Mr. McCurdy traps with a partner.
Robert Lewellen, around Mud Lake
and neighboring territory in Crook
county. He was on his way home fcc
Vancouver, Wash., where he expected
to spend New Years day with hi
wife. The distance from Mud Lake
to Foley Springs on the McKcnzie is
about 36 miles and Mr. McCurdy ex
pected to get through in less than
three days. There is not a trail
down the brush-covered canyon and
the brush-covered snow became al
most impassable. Mr. McCurdj
struggled along on snow shoes, some
times making less than 30 yards in
two hours, he said.
Mis clothes were in shreds when he
reached Foley Springs and one knee
was badly inflamed from a fall over
a rocky ledge. On the last three
days of his trip he ran out of grub.
"My tobacco gave out, too.' said Mr.
McCurdy. At times 1 was ready to
give up and lie down. Nothing ever
looked so good to me tn my life as
the settlement at Foley Springs. The
people there took care of me and
doctord my knee, and I am mighty
grateful to them."
Mr. McCurdy says that he wor
gloves when he started, but breaking
through the brush wore them out.
