GAPT. GRAY TELLS OF
ORIGN OF "CELILO"
A unique solution of the origin of
the word "Celilo" and how it came to
be applied to the upper end of the
portage around the obstructions to
navigation in the river above The
Dalles, has been submitted by Cap
tain W. P. Gray, of Pasco.
Captain Gray is the admiral of the
fleet which arrived here from the up
per river today. He is also the pres
ident of the Columbia and Snake
River Waterway association, and has
been an ardent worker for an open
river for many years.
Captain Gray is a native sone of
1854. His father was W. H. Gray
who came to Oregon with Dr. Whit
man in 1836, and who was a builder
of boats on the Columbia river. His
son began his knowledge of swift wa
ter and its navigation when 13 years
of age. Captain Gray's father lived
in The Dalles in 1862. Captain Gray
says:
"I have heard several explanations
of the origin of the name Celilo, cred
itable and otherwise.
"The first wagon road from Fort
Dalles around The Dalles and Tum
water to reach the navigable water
above followed the Columbia to Three
Mile creek, up the creek to the Five
Mile house, where the same creek was
called 'Five Mile,' thence up a draw
and across a divide to where the same
creek was called 'Ten Mile' thence
over the 'Ten Mile hill' and down to
the river just below the mouth of the
Deschutes.
"On the flat there quite a town was
built. Freight was hauled across the
portage, and bateaux, sloops and
schooners sailed it to old Fort Walla
Walla (now Wallula) 110 miles fur
ther where it was distributed to des
tinations by teams and pack mules.
In 1858, the steamer 'Colonel
Wright' was built at Deschutes to re
place the sailing crafts. While the
'Colonel Wright' was under construc
tion, George Knaggs arrived at The
Dalles. It soon became known that
he was a Mississippi river steamboat
man and had $10,000. Lawrence
Coe and R. R. Thompson who had
the contract to carry the government
freight to Wallula, needed the money
and tried to induce Knaggs to become
a partner, but he had heard of John
Day rapids and decided to invest
igate. Crossing the Deschutes river

he took horse and rode 16 miles to
the rapids and returned with the an
nouncement that no steamboat could
be built that could navigate those
rapids and refused to invest.
"But Len White and Eph Baugh-
man who were running sailing crafts
on the river assured the builders that
the steamer could be navigated, but
an immense mast, square sail and
jib were added to her equipments.
The 'Wright' was a success and in
1859 and 1860, the steamers Ten-
ino' and 'Okanogan' were built at
Deschutes.
"But the landing was on a slough
of the Columbia. In high water the
boats landed at the bank in front of
the town, but in low water freight
had to be hauled in over cobble
stones nearly a mile to a shelving
beach where there was no protection
from sand or rain and every slight
rise In the river caused trouble and
expense In moving the freight to
safety. It had to be there ready for
loading on arrival of the boats.
"The cliffs back of Celilo are al
most perpendicular, from the Des
chutes road to Cape Horn, three miles
below Tumwater, a distance of five
miles. At the foot of the cliffs back
of Celilo, are shifting sand dunes.
High water washes the cliff just be
low Deschutes flat and at Cape Horn.
There is no landing on the Oregon
side of the Columbia between Des
chutes and Five Mile rapids.
"In 1860, the discovery of gold
mines increased the river traffic so
much, it was imperative that a better
point for landing and shipping facilit
ies be found. After Investigation the
Oregon Steam Navigation company
found a narrow cleft in the cliff with
perpendicular walls less than 50 feet
apart, where loaded wagons could be
lowered down with a rope and 12
mule teams could pull the empty
wagons up. It was not even an In
dian trail. After the discovery of
this chute the company landed lum
ber for the construction of three
steamboats, the 'Yakima,' 'Webfoof
and 'Nez Perce Chief.' and the place
was called 'Celilo' with accent on the
second syllable.
"It was rumored at the time that
when the man who found the road,
had explained to Lawrence Coe the
possibility of covering the bottom of
the chute with gravel and dirt, and
lowering the wagons down Coe ex
claimed, 'I see, lie low.'

Jones Weeder
'Made in Morrow County"
(Patented Dec. 16, 1913.)
Summerfallowing is being done earlier this year than common.
Weeds will come earlier and there will be more of them. Get after
them early before they ruin your Summerfallow. The JOXES
WEEDER is the best and most speedy weeder ever built for that
purpose. Built in sections like a harrow; each section cuts five
feet and you can use as many sections as you want. The knives
have a slope of 60 degrees and will not choke under normal con
ditions. This weeder has been tried out on the same field with other
weeders and has done more satisfactory work. The JOXES WEED
ER has been fully tested. Ask a farmer who uses one. For further
