WINDSOR CASTLE NEWS Windsor Castle, Rock Creek Hills, April, 11. 1925. Editor Independent: I will send a few lines to the Independent. Wheat fields and grass hills are green out here, and the last few days are like the good old summer time, 1 live along the line of the farming and stock country on the north boarder of the Rock creek and John Day stock country, but that is no reason why I should ue a border ruffian and this border line is different from the Kansas and Missouri line during the Civil war, we are more peaceful out here. I am old enough to remember the Civil war in Missouri. Pap Prices raid through Missouri, his poor horses and long haired men, the canons roar at the Boonville battle, atone -chimneys Btanding on the praries, where the houses were burnt away, soldiers coming home from both Northern and Southern armies, great talk about the James and Younger boys, and a poverty stricken country old Missonri was at the wind-up of the war. In the spring of 1874, I left old Missouri to plow corn no more, I took advice from the great Horrace Greeley and drifted out West To the land of THE BATTLE OF LEONG- T0N On the 19th day of April 1775, the British government threw down the gage of battle at Con cord bridge. It was taken up by the farmers of the Old Bay Col ony and the shot fired that ae beard1 round the world. One year, three months and fifteen days later the representatives of the thirteen colonies subscribed to the Declaration of Independ ence and years later furced the unwilling signature of Great Britain. In 1775, four million ' people, thinly scattered along the Atlan tic seaboard made good their con tention that all men are created free and equal. One hundred and forty two years later Tht Nation that at its birth num bered a scant four million souls, called to shoulder arms foui million men, participated in the greatest struggle of recorded history and sealed again with the sacred blood of her sons, the solemn declaration and covenant of freedom. In the apace of time measured by a century and a half, four million people had increased to to a hundred and ten million had added to the thirteen original states, till they numbered forty eight; had conquered a savage continent and made it as the garden of the Lord; had given to the world more labor savins and humanizing inventions than all other nations of the world combined, and had made the name America to be a synonym for progress. We people of America do well to pause on each recurrence of the date of the skirmish at Lex ington, ponder the words and recall the deeds of the fathers of the Republic i As we do it let us remember that upon our shoul ders have fallen the mantle and the burdens of the heroes of the ancient days and that the patri mony of great fathers can only be preserved by the tireless de votions of worthy sons, International Harvester Prim rose .Cream Separators at "Greatly" reduced price. 1 have No. 1 and No. 3 Bizes, If in need of a Separator get my price. BERT MASON the free and home of the-blest, i i i i . wnere me cnurcnes had no steeples, and the men twere ail equal. A good many took Mr. Greeley's advice and went West, but did not grow up with the country, but I guess it was be cause they were not built that way. 1 went to Colorado territory in the spring of '74. I was in that country about 5 years most oi the time in the Cache LaPaudre valley about 40 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Fort Col lins and Greeley, s country. I left that part in the spring of 1879 and went to the Black Hili, I waa in and south of the Black Hills till April 1882 punching cattle and skinning mules, brother and I pulled off the Sid ney and Black Hills' freight and stage line, two 8 mule teams and shipped out free transportation to work on the Oregon Short Line way out in Idaho. They sent me out to work with a cranky cuss called, Bill, he gave me a ten pound hammer, to pound upon drill, says he "If you don't like this you may take your shirts and go, but I'm keep ing your blankets for your board," way out in Idaho. (Oh! by heck! you bet he would keep ihem and the first man came along and went to work without a bed, he would sell the blankets to him and charge him two prices for them. That was the 0. S. L Style.) Oh! it filled my heart wilh pity as I walked along the track, To see so many working men with their blankets on their backs They said the work was heavy ' and the gruh they couldn't go Around the railroad tables, way out in Idaho, Let us all arise and sing, Way out in Idaho, way out in Idaho, Where they keep your blankets for your board, way out in Idaho part of an 0. S. L Bong and plenty of truth therein. Brother and I, quit the railroad game at Pendleton,, in duly 1SS3 and worked our teama in the harvest fields at Pendleton, Pendleton looked pretty good to us after over a year in the' sage brush, sand and lava beds of southern Idaho. Pendleton was a live burg surronded by a rich country. 1 caught eight of the Umatilla county farming country between Pendleton and Meacham and it was a grand sight, square fields of wheat and square fields of bunchy rass, not much of the bunchgrass left now, the land is worth more or wheat. Wages in the harvest fields that year was a $1.00 a. day a span for teams, $1.50 for box drivers, $2.00 a day for loaders and stackers. Men and teams well fed. Highest price paid for wheat that fall was 74c, plug of tobacco cost 50c, heavy blue overalls without bib 75c, good meals 25c, pork chops and beef steak 10. to 12Jc a pound, best brand of fibur $1.00 a fifty pound sack. We be gin hauling wheat in August and hauled till the day before Christ mas, yes, some wheat raised there then, but a ijood deal more now, we hauled ten thousand bushels for one rancher, 7 miles north of Pendleton, from the Mumm and Strew Ranch. Adios for this time, Old Tillicum, or Bill Windsor. Church News Notes of Interest to All Local Denominations. Leave your watch repairing at Swanson's Fted and Supply Store for Haylor the Jeweler.
