Duncan at Umatilla Among the oldest pioneers of Umatilla is J. W. Duncan, who came here with his family from the pro vince of Ontario in 1884. The day after Mr. Duncan arrived the first regular passenger train ran from Umatilla to Huntington. In 1903. Mr. Duncan built his ho tel, of which he is still owner. He added a restaurant a little later and this was rented by a Chinese. "Mur phy,” before it was completed. This restaurant has been kept open day and night continuously until the first part of this year when it closed its doors at night for a time. Mr. Duncan recalls the time when five cent pieces were little used in trade as being too small. Although business men would accept them, they did not give them out in change but sacked them up and sent them down to the Portland bank. No one cent pieces were used. The small change mostely used was a "short bit,' 10 cents, a "long bit,” 15 cents, and 'two bits,” a quarter or 25 cents. The old black matches were used. In these days of the 80‘s consid- erable gold was washed from the sand in Umatilla and adjacent to it by the Chinese They sometimes carried the sand and gravel down to the river in five gallon coal oil cans suspended on a pole across their shoulders. Some of the old ditches made by the Chinese at much expense and labor are still in existence there.
