SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1894.
There is a movement, in congress to
make the passage of a free-ship bill a
distinctive feature of the session. The
president calls the Existing" law deny
ing American registry -to ships built
ahroud and "owned by Americans
"nearer a relic of barbarism than any
thing that exists; under the permission
of the statutes of the United States."
"" For. Hie first time perhaps in the his
tory of Hood River fruit trees are being
shippeife from ...here to other places.
Duruif5a lu8ti;;veek'' good' shipments
were im'cile to White Salmon and The
Dalles, ami infjttiries are-coming in
from M.iaior and Cascade Locks.' It is
- to be uopt'd .'sinul iexpected that another
year iiuiiiiitrds of "dollars will 4e
brought into the yaltey from the sale
of trees abroad, instead of sending
awuy that amount, as in the past. '
Silver . men aire., very .much worried
oveithe favorable outlook for the new
banking ttcheme before congress. It is
jiot only illvlding their strength, but is
taking the wind out of thejr sails. Such
- legislation as is proposed, once enacted,
would for some years nt least settle
preserit .financial, agitation, .would do
muc.to.satisfy a great deal of .the free-
Bilver demanus and would start out a
Bysteir pf finances entirely free from
old metidlic controversies, says the St.
J.ouis Republic. The small bit of favor
- which is giveti to silver in the proposi
tion to hereafter Usue only paper money
above $10 in value and thus force - the
circulation of silver gives of course little
satisfaction to those senators and repre
sentatives who are interested in pro
viding for the output of American silver
mines. : ,
The newspapers of the' State are con
siderably agitated over the election of
United States senator. ' The legislature
will meet January 14th, and after or
' ganissation, the first work of the session
will be the . elect ton of; senator. The
free-silver element in. the republican
party is working- hard to defeat J. N.
. .uoipn. ior' re-election. Tney claim
there is a majority of the republican
members of the legislature in favor of
free-coinage of silver. We do not know
how this was found out, and we doubt
if any one knows or will know how
. the members stand on this question be
fore they meet at Salem. 'The repub
lican members certainly were notelect
i edon i free-silver platform. It was
well understood during the campaign
that a-'fote. for the republican legia-
lative ticket Was a' vote for J. N. Dolph
for United States senator. Thos. H.
Tongue of Hilisboro and C. W. Fulton
of Astoria are the most formidable ean
" didates to sncceod Dolnh. Mr. Tono-no
was defeated for state senator rom
Washington, county two years ago by
8. B. Huston, democrat. Washington
couutyris generally, good for 500 repub
lican majority. . Mr. Tongue earned
bis right to contest Senator Dolph's re
election ty writing two letters to the
... Oregonian, about a month ago, favor
lug silver and advocating the use of
more of that metal as a circulating me
dium. ! The Oregon ian soon showed up
' his Ignorance on the money question,
and' Mr.'.yTongue very: sensibly quit
writing letters. Mr. Fulton of Astoria
theii came to Portland and had him-
"sclf interviewed and outdid Tongue in
'. his bid for a boom-for United States
;; scnat or : oir a free-silver platform. '' He
stands about' with' Gov. Pennoyer on
the money question, And by the way,
iJ'ff "'Oregon needs- a. free-silver man to
represent us in the United States sen-
, J, ate, why not take Pennoyer? He would

and would -have .the support ; of the

tloivin 1803. when after- making the
ortage (f The Dalles, they camped at
,rhe mouth of Mill creek and rested for
i nje days. In eurly Indian . tradition

and
binnkels, for siihnon. It was the e;.

in our vicinity by the . natives huve a
beautiful significance, and in this short
sketch of our history we are templed to
reproduce some or them. YViii-ouatt

Three Mile, where it empties into the
Columbia. We-galth, a place of danger.
It was here that the murderous Snakes
from Deschutes and Fifteen mile made
their descent upon the peaceful settlement.-
! x
Freauent mention .is made of this
place by early traders in the employ of
tne'HuJsou Hay and American jo. at
Astoria, in their journeyings to the in
terior. In 1820, the Hudson Bay com
panv. tbeu extending their trade
through this disputed country, estab
lished a post at The Dalles, under the
charge ot James Birnie. He remained
hpre some time, but on account of the
Indian nostilities, and being isolated
from the great centers of the company,
the post was removed, and Mr.; Birnie
went to Astoria. He died at Cath-
lamet, Dec. 21, 1S64. in his 69th year
The next era of importance in its
history was in the fall of 1834,. when a
mission was established here by fc.Revs,
Lee aud Perkins, of the Methodist de
nomination, and the place was known
ror many years afterwards by tne jn
dians as-"Perkins house." The out
line of the foundation of the' principal
building can be seen, a snort distance
east of the academy. These pioneers
of civilization did good work among
the Indians, in teaehing tliem habits
of -industry and Christian precepts
For over ten years they Occupied this
outpost of civilization, but in the fall of
1847; tney transtcred tne buildings and
property to the Presbyterians, under
the ..supervision 'of the lamented Dr.
Whitman, who plnced Anson Hinman
and: Perrin Whitman in charge. A
month - afterward, .the , memorable
Wailatpu massacre took , place, and
these men had to escape from the mur
derous redskins for their lives. The
buildings were left in care of friendly
Wascos, and these were relieved by a
volunteer company under Capt. Lee,
who used the mission houses for his
soldiers. Dunns: the continuance of
the war, these buildings were- used fcr
storing military supplies, and atter the
death of Gen. Uilliam, Capt. Lee was
placed in command, with the title of
colonel. The Catholic mission was es
tablished near the cemetery west of the
City, in 1846, by Rev. Father Rosseau.
He was superesded by Father Mesphe,
who, some years niter, built the
E resent church and the old mission
uilding, which was removed a few
years ago.
In the spring of 1850, three compa
nies, under command of Mai. Tucker,
arrived at- The Dalles and clrbse
grounds for a garrison and fort. This
stimulated trade to come to this point.
Our first merchant was John C. Bell,
who came here from Salem, and open
ed a sutler's store. During-the military
occupancy of Ft. Dalles, many men of
note had their first .experiance in this
frontier nost. anions? the number be
ing Gen. Urapt, and . Gen. Thos. Jor
dan of the Confederate army.
After the departure of the Rifle regi
ment, Mr. Bell sold his sutler's'store to
Mr. Wm. Gibson, and in 1851 A. Mc
Kindlay & Co. had permission from the
firoper authorities to establish a trad
. ng post. -1 They built a frame house,
near tue intersection ot Uourt and
Main streets, and placed it under charge
of Perrin Whitman. In the following
year they built a much more preten
tious' structure west of the Umatilla
house. They sold out all their interest
in the spring of 1853 to Messrs. Sims &
Humason, and during this year Mr.
Wni. Gibson moved his store from the
garrison to the vacant lot at the foot of
Union street., ... . . . .. ,
In 1854, the . military . reservation
having been reduced to much smaller
proportions, Mr.-W. C. Laughlin took
a land claim and built a frame house.
The same year, Mr. W. D. Bigelow
came to Tne Dalles with a stock of
goods and opened business. He also
took a land claim now known as
"Bigelow'a addition," and comprising
the business portion of the city. From
that time on the town began its exist
ence. Before it was only known as a
trading post. But the soldiers attract
ed traders, and being a .desirable com
mercial point, business men , located
here. ; ' .. .-. . ,.
. In 1851 the river was first used for
steamboats, and the Flint made, regu
lar trips. In 1854 the Wasco was put
on and afterwards the Mary. A few
years later the Oregon .Steam -.Navigation
Co. was formed, and a big trade
was done on the Columbia.
In 1855 the gold excitement at Fort
Colville drew thousands to this part of
the northwest, and the Columbia river
being the only outlet, The Dalles situ
ated at the head of navigation received
quite an impetus. Merchants throng
ed to this point, and The Dalles became
important shipping point.
Capt Thos. Jordan was stationed at
jthe fort in 1858, and under; his super
vision the buildings which once con
stituted Fort Dalles were erected. In
the following year,' April 1st, he com
menced the publication of the Jour
nal,!' which in I860 was bought by
;Wmj Newell, who changed the paper's
name to tne "Mountaineer."
The discovery of gold in 1862, and
following years, in Idaho and Eastern
Oregon, brought The Dalles into com
mercial importance. The boats of the
Oregon Bteam Navigation Co. were
thronged with passengers going to new
El Dorado. Every pound of freight
had to be shipped from The Dalles ex
cept that brought thousands of miles
over a, mountainous ; region. ..The
Dalles was literally the center of " trade
for the northwest, and long lines of
freight teams aiid pack animals could
be seen leaving the city daily for the
mines. " During these ' years ' money
was very plentiful, and no better
business point' on the .coast could be
found than The Dalles. '
About- this time our stock interests
began -to attract' attention, and the
city became a' great cattle ' market.
The bunch-grass hills began to attract
settlers, and cattlemen began to drive
their herds into Wasco. - .. " i v
, A brancti mint was located here, by
act of congress ; 18G5, and $100 000 ap
propriated therefor. - Rock was quar
ried about , five miles up Mill creek,
with which to construct the building.
A large number of workmen 'were
employed, and the building attained
the first story during the coming
summer, - when congress decided the
ammunition, eons, tomahawks
