CONCORD HYMN
By the rude bridge that arched the
Hood,
Their flag to April's breeie un
tnrleJ, Here ouce the embattled farmers
ktood.
And fired thenhot heard round the
World. '
The foe long since In ullent ulcpt;
Alike the cotjueror silent sleeps;
And time the ruined bridge has
wept
Down the dark stream which sea
ward crees.
On this green bank, by this soft
stream.
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem
when, like our siren, our sons are
gone.
Spirit, that made those lieroes dare
To die, and leave their children free
Bid time and nature gently spare
The shaft we rnle to them and
three.

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,

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.
