Work, hard work and more
work.
These words are called from
the editorial page of that spright
ly Journal, The Oregon Emerald.
When we first read them we
had a vision of the self sacrific
ing undergraduate racking his
brain in study and expending his
energy in the pursuit of learn
ing. But alas, Not so. These words
apply not to the dull round of
study but to the exhilerating
whirl of sport.
Social duties are still first.

It is a fact that there is an em
pire of about 33,000 square miles
in Central Oregon or about one
third the total area of the state
without railroad facilities of any
kind an empire that equals "the
combined areas of the states of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey, and Delaware."
It is a fact that the great area
referred to as Central Oregon will
remain undeveloped a desert in
effect if not in fact, until it se
cures rail facilities. J. N. Teal.
We cant have the biggest town
in Eastern Oregon, but we
might have the cleanest. Why'
not?

Notes of Interest to All
Local Denominations.
John Jordan was here so far
ahead of any other settler that
the date of his coming is not
obtainable, he was born in Ohio
in 1827 and came west to Calif,
ornia during the Golden Days
of 49 where he mined for two
years then came to Salem, Ore
gon, where he engaged in farm
ing until the opening of the
Indian Wars of 1854-58 when he
enlisted with the Oregon volun
teers and fought through the
campaigns of Oregon and Wash
ington. It was while chasing
Indians through this region that
he decided that this was the place
for his home. After receiving
his discharge he invested his
savings in a herd of cattle. Ex
perience gained during the
Indian War gave him a good
knowledge of the country and he
decided that the forks of the
creek was the ideal location for
his cow camp. With keen in
sight, he could see that the hills,
now known as Jordan Butte,
would be th. first to afford grass
when the chinook came and the
broad creek bottom covered with
rye grass and willows would af
ford forage during the winter,
besides being the most fertile
flat on the entire creek and hav
ing the advantgae of irrigation
from both creeks.
His first big job was the erec
tion of a house and barn and as
the Indians had no saw mil.s he
was obliged to select his building
material from the alder and
cotten wood groves along the
creek. His home was built at
the point where the railroad and
highway cuts through the point
two miles east of Ion-.
The rush to the Canyon City
mines caused a large amount of
travel along the creek and he
opened a road house and fed the
travelers besides attending his
cattle and opening up his farm
His near neighbors were Tom
Scott, who lived on Rock creek,
and lorn Avers, who settled on
Butter creek in 1862. Mr. Jor
dan became a large cattle owner
and the old timers remember him
as the most honorable man who
rode the range and as one who
did more to Jhelp the families
who followed him to the wilder
ness than any other man en the
creek. He had the reputation of
having the best string of cattle
ponies on the range and many
tales are .handed down of bis
horsemanship. In the fall of
18G6he-made a trip to Walla
Walla and called on his neighbor
Tom Ayers, who requested that
he bring him some men to help
harvest his oat crop. He re
turned without the men but de
ccided to help save the crop and
for the next seven days he did
chores then mounted his horse
and rode 27 miles to Butter creek
for breakfast swung a cradle in
the field until night and rode
home each night Word then
reached him that neighbor Scott
needed help in harvest and for
the next five days he rode 25
miles for breakfast and did a
days work and returned home.
He took a stranger in and gave
him a home for the winter and
when Spring came his guest de
parted and word came that he
had gone to The Dalles.' to file
claim to Jordans home. Mount-
ing his best horse he hit the
trail for The Dalles where-he
was informed that his home was
in the LaGrande district and
that his enemy had boarded the
stage and was far on the way to
LaGrande. He immediately re
turned home caught another
horse, arrived at the Land office
ahead of the stage and saved his
home,.after having ridden over
300 miles with such rest as could
be had while his horse grazed at
the roadside. -To
be continued in next issue.
