By J. H. Twog'ood
When my brother, O. B. nnd I
ciomioiI tho plitluK In 1SS1 there was
no settlement west of tho Missouri
river until wo reached tho great Col
umbia river , where Dr. Whitman
and family had started a mission to
try to clvllUe tho Treacherous red
man. as early as 1S3C. We had a
rough trip over tho Cascades, ar
riving la Oregoni City, August 20,
1S51. and loosing every thing wo bad
trying to help others. At this timo
Oregon City was a commercial center
fioni whence all goods went south
(o th Willamette and Umprjua val
leys. Loflng my tools. I cpuld not
gat work and times were dull and
mono)' scarce. There was no Port
land then, only one paper. There
was nothing doing anywhoro In tho
iiorlliwot. .,-.-
Wo heard of the great gold mines
at Yreka, and In southern Oregon
Sam Hadley and I had a slight at
tack of the yellow fever. Wo rigged
up a tent, aud with two packs und
two saddle horses started south to
tho now Kldorado. Traveling up tho
valley wo found It vory sparhely fcet
tied. Many bcctlous of good land
could bo taken up by the Imtnlgranta
living on five years and It was donat
ed by. our dear old Uncle Sam. In
tho valley we came to Kugcne Skin
ner's placo where ho bad taken up
a section of land. He had a log
lion t.e and barn and part of his yard
was fenced, where he raised garden
truck. Today Eugene Is a big city
with an opera house.
Wo then traveled south over the
Calnpoola mountain, up tho rrovb In
tho North Unipqun. Horo wo ferried
nt Winchester, which waH then tho
county seat of DoiigliiB county, a
town of one log house. Tho county
reached to tho Slsklyous on tl- south
and to Culapoola on tho north, 300
miles, and from tho Pacific ocoan on
the west to die Hooky mountains on
tho oast, enough territory tr, form 16
or 20 stulofi like Now "Jorsoy". KIvo
miles furthor south wo found l)tr
crook, likewise Aaron Hoho and fami
ly, who wero our traveling compan
ion when wo crossed tbo plains.
Hose had located a half Miction do
nation claim, which today la tho pro
sent tuwnslto of ItoMjhiirg, tho coun
ty seat of Douglas eounty. but the
saiiio territory Is now carved up into
a dozen com. ties.
TrHvnlliiK up tho K'oiih iMtipa"-
rlvur 2h iuIUm we riaino to tho month!
of the grout canyon ovor u horrllilo
road of 'i miles on thu old Imitilr,
grant trail. 1 do not sao how It wh
possible for jHMiple to go ovor those
roads wltt a wugnu. In H5-' I saw'
a man itart over that road through
the canyon with two yoko of oxun
aud good woman, and ut tho end of
two days, ho got through with only a
front whul. Mtro wo foil ml Mr! and
Mr JM9jih Knott, who crossil thu
plaius in ItCO from Ottumwu. Iu.,
and bad located a ranch, built a log
cubtA. Mil culled it Cun)onvlll. Tlioy
had tbrM grown chlldron. Levi, Jack
and Lll'by whom Vlneo Davis callwl
SU Hhe niarrlMl Bob Lttdd, a vo
D wealthy banker (a Portland. The
rmt or thm crowed the groat divide,
,,..u- .iro. and I am tlx only ono loft.
After gutting through thu canyon
wo traveled down Cow oreok sovon
inlltM, thou crossed ovor tho moun
tains and on to Gravo crook, whoro
we found a bountiful little valley
with gigantic oak troo and u gravo
right bcwlde tho mud. Clovor giovv
to tho height)! of 0 Inchas and It wns
an Idoal camping ground. . Did wo
camp thoro? should say not. No one
would dnro to camp thoro on nccottnt
or tho Indians. It'us considered tho
most dangerous point ou tho road.
Ou south tevon mllos wo crossed
JuiiiP'Off-Joe und Louse crook, and
oamw to the Kogue rtvor. Horo wo
In uud Ben Halsteud had otitnblhdiod
tbo first ferry ou tho trail between
California uud Oregon. Wo crossed
here and went down sovon miles and
found Iami N Vnnimy. 'Gin Tail k
Co. had taken up n splendid ranch I
nnd had established a ferry. Both
waio us good moii In principal us ov
or lived and both aro now dead From
here wo traveled up the Applcgute
into (ho Illinois valley, which wo fol
lowed up to u point whoro Ketb.v-
ville now stands. We struok off
north and found Ham Fry,, who win.
running a horse corral.
It seems as though a sintill com
pany of California minors, during
the month of August, 1851, left
Vieka and traveled north in search
of gold. They traveled ou the old
Hudson Bay trapper trail over tho
Siakivou, down Beur creek, and right
bv JneUoii creek, whero (hero were
good diggings, uud on to the Illi
nois valley. Hero they went north
nvi'i' pretty steep mniiuinins nnd
found gold in two different clocks.
One 'thev named Canyon creek and
the other Josephine, in honor of it
young lady who was a member of
the party. This -was tho first gold
found in Oregon. Afterwards Sailor
diggings, Althousa and many oilier
good digging Avcro struck. I was
with the Joe Knott party In Febru
ary, 18.VJ, aud we wero tho firt
white men to ever make the trip Up
Galico cioek, whoro wo found good
diggings. -
HaNted and Vannoy had the only
two log cabins in tho Rogue Hivor
vallov in 1851. It bonus to pie like
a fairy tale when I read about a fruit
ranch being sold there For .f 108,(HM),
and laud near Grants Pass pruduc
big $.100 worth of fruit per uore.
