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.
Mrs
Gladys Baymiller of Uma
tilla is a daughter of Mr. Dunean
and has resided here most of her
life.
The office now filled by the As
sistant County Agent W. A. Sawyer
had its beginnings as part of the
federal reclamation, under title of
demonstration agent of the U. 8.
Reclamation project in 1914.
The first agent here was P. S.
les. who served three years. Ho
s followed by R W. Allen after
resignation as superintendent of
experiment .farm Allen acted
two years and H K. Dean, pres-
superintendent of the farm, car-
I on the duties for one year. He
succeeded by R F. Wilbur.
