diansLeaves From an Old Diary.
IJOOD RIVER has just passed the
half century mark of its first settle
ment. The ranks of those hardy pio
neers, who alone can tell the story of its
earliest settlement, are being so rapidly
decimated by the Great Destroyer that
very soon the last of these forerunners
of civilization shall have crossed the
dark river and passed into the great
unknown beyond.
Those of you who now, with wonder
ing friends, as you pass from farm to
farm, point with pride to the magnifi
cent orchards that are scattered every
where; as you pass the steepled churches
and overflowing schoolhouses, can little
appreciate the vast wildness the utter
loneliness that surrounded the pioneer
settlers of this lovely valley. For lovely
it was, even in its solitude. Deer, bear
and elk roamed at will through the
park-like forests; cougar, wolves and
coyotes were in plentiful evidence;
grouse and pheasants were found in
abundance, while the streams were filled

Nature was indeed lavish in her animal
and plant life that could be used by the
pioneer tor liimeelt ami nis herds.
But when winter came with its dreary
snows ana storms ana ne was unable,
work however hard he may, to provide
sufficient sustenance to properly care
for his dumb beams, then anxiety hovered
over the pioneer's home; he eagerly
watched the sunset skies for the first
signs of the coming west wind that
meant warmth and strength to his fam
ished stock.
Hummer, came at last; hip
herds became sleek and round as they
fed upon the nutritious grasses, and all
nature seemed to smile upon him. But
anon distant rumors chilled his blood.
They came nearer and nearer, until an
Indian war in all it horrors was upon
him. The sickening, monotonous beat
ing of the war drum, the yells of the in
furiated savages, the blazing walls of
his neighbor's home all these have
been the experience of the early pioneers
of Hood Hiver.
I am under many obligations to Mrs.
Elizabeth Lord, daughter of Judge Wil
liam C. Laughlin, the pioneer settler of
Hood River, for a very graphic and
thrillling account of' their awful
winter's experience In our vallev. You
who, these winter evenings, sit by your
comfortable firesides, the room flooded
with electric light, let your thoughts
wander back to the horrors of that
dreadful winter just half a century ago.
Imagine if you can the little log cabin
almost buried in snow, and surrounded
by hundreds of starving cattle; the des
perate fight for life itself, the sickness,
hunger and cold within, and then tell
me if you can the quality and number of
joys that paradise should hold to requite
the pioneer, even in part, for the priva
tions he has undergone.
First Winter Spent in Hood River.
BY MRS. EI.1.AI1KTH LORD.
Hood Kiver was first settled by Will
lam Cateshy Laughlin and his wife,
Mary LaUKhlin. Both of them were
born in Kentucky. They moved to
Illinois in 1S32; were niurried and
moved to Missouri in 1840. They
crossed the plains to Oregon In 1850,
lived In The Dalles two years and
moved to Hood Hiver in the fall of
18--2.
Having accumulated quite a number
of cattle and horses by trading with
the Indians and 'immigrants, Mr.
Lauuhlin decided to locale on n good
range and make a limue for himself
mid family. Dr. Furnsworth, an old
friend and family physician, having
arrived from Missouri early In the sea
son, they concluded to settle at Hood
River, then called Dog river. Mr
Laughlin had looked the country over
and thought it the loveliest spot nil
earth. However, they delayed mov

ing down until the Immigration was
all in, when they toon all the stock
they could get to winter for a stated
price per head. Mr. Lauehlin had
about 100 bead of horses and the same
number of cattle of bis own, and about
LD0 bead of cattle to herd for others.
Dr. Farnsworth had about 100 alto
gether.
Some time in October they engaged
a flat boat to take the families and sup-
piles down the river, tbe doctor coin
down with them. Mr. Laughlin, with
two hired men and tbe doctor's It)
year-old son, drove the stock over tbe
trail. The boat made the run down
and landed where tbe ferry landing
now is, in one day, while tbe stock
took two days to make tbe trip. After
driving the stock across Dog river, Mr
Lautrbiiu and his men joined tbe fam
ilies in camp, and the next day crossed
the river by fording with ox teams.
Mr. Laughlin located on tbe Coe
place and built a small log cabin. Ow.
ing to the lateness of the season and
tbe serious illness of his eldest son.
James, who had typhoid fever, he hast
ened to get a sneuer over dis lamny.
Dr. Farnsworth took more time and
built a better and larger cabin on the
place afterwards known as the Jenkins
place.
Everything now seemed propitious
to tbe uiakiug or nappy and permanent
homes. But a short time elapsed until
a very heavy snow fell. I have no
date but know it was in November, and
much of tbe snow remained on the
ground until March. The cabin was in
tbe edge of a beautiful grove of medium
sized fir trees, and all of tbe cattle from
far and near made tbeir way to tbat
grove, 't here were several men down
near Mitchell's foint herding over ouu
head of cattle, and tbey all came up to
the Laughlin cauin. r
STARVING CATTLK CRUSH IN CABIN DOOR.
No one who has not witnessed such
a condition can imagine what it was
like. They came In tbe night, and ai!
crowoea arouna our poor nine cauin

til it seemed as if pandemonium had
broken loose. On looking out, there
appeared a sea of beads and horns as
rar as tne eye could reacn. iney Drone
in the door several times. Tbe family
were terrified, as it seemed as if the
walls would give way. Mr. Laughlin
fought them away until morning, when
be tried to drive them off, but they
were all g6ntle animals and came to
the grove for shelter. Our own cows
came to us for protection and all tbe
rest roitowea. wr. Laughlin leued
trees to make a large enclosure to keep
them away. When the storm abated
he sent an Indian with a message to
those men to come and take their stock
away. But the men abandoned the
stock and went to their homes at tbe
Cascades.
The cattle stayed in that grove until
every one died. All of Dr. Farnsworth 's
and all of Mr. Laughlin's but 14 bead
also died. At that time there was

too, was gone. Then Mr. Laughlin dug
out a small canoe for himself and went
up to Tbe Dalles for supplies. While
there he made arrangements with
Major Alvord to lease land for a farm
on the government reservation (the
same land which he afterwards held as
a donation claim). As soon as the
snow had gone off be gathered what
horses were left and hired tbe Indians
from White Salmon, who bad five
canoes, to take the family up tbe Co
lumbia to The Dalles, while he and bis
son James drove tbe pitiful handful of
stocK DacK over those bills where so
few months before they bad driven
such a large herd.
From Portland to Fort Dalles In 1854
Early in the spring of 1854, a family
excursion party consisting of N. Coe and
wife and the writer, then a boy of 9
years, left Portland, Or., for a trip to
Fort Dalles, at that time head of navi-
tation on the Columbia river. Our first
ay's ride was on the little side wheel
steamer Fashion, VanBergan, master.
The James P. Flint was the pioneer
boat on the middle Columbia, but trade
seemed better on the lower river, so she
was taken over the Cascades the year
before and renamed Fashion.
An all day's trip brought us to the
lower Cascades, where we were very
hospitably entertained at the home of
B. B. Bishop, brother-in-law to the
Bradfords, then in the transportation
business at the Cascades.
OLD MCLI PORT AGS ROAD AT CASCADES. ,
The portage of six miles was a rather
complicated process. Freight for trans-
iuruiuon was uroi luuueu in scnooners,
which, when the wind blew sufficiently
strong, were driven to the landing then
known as the middle blockhouse, but
now called Sheridan's Point, where they
were unloaded onto a tram car that
came around Sheridan's Point, and was
hauled np by a windlass run by a very
patient and intelligent mule. When the
car reached the summit of the incline
the mule was unhitched from the wind
lass, attached to tbe car and
started for tbe upper Cascades
alone over a wooden tramwav,
with a couple of boards in the mid
dle of the track for the "engine" to walk
on. Arriving at his destination, the
mule was unhitched, turned around and
coupled onto an empty fiat car and
started on his return trip. A pole was
lashed to his side and then to the car.
This acted as a kind of automatic brake
to keep the car from running over the
"engine." This arrangement worked
well for a while, and saved the services
of a conductor, but the mule got onto
nis ion, and when well out of sight
would stop to eet up more steam and in
cidentally to take good long naps, there-

hands.
At the upper Cascades the Bradfords
had just completed a small schooner of
about 40 tons burden, which was mak
ing trips to Fort Dalies when the winds
were favorable. At this point stood
Bradford's store, where two years after
ward a handful of brave, fearless men
for three days held at bay the savage
hordes of Indians, in what is known as
the Cascade massacre.
We boarded the schooner and with a
fine breeze blowing we made rood pro
gress and about noon reached Hood
River, then known as Dog River. We
were all very much pleased with the
? general aspect of the country and my
ather determined to return at his
earliest convenience and examine the
lands with a view of locating if satis
factory, we reacned our destination
that evening at Fort Dalles, which then
consisted of a eovernment post located
about half a mile south of the few scat
tering houses on the river, where now
stands the city of The Dalles. We re
mained over a day at this place, which
nan at that time but Jew attractions.
KARLY 8T8AMB0AT ON Ml DDLS COLUMBIA,
the only steam vessel then on the
middle Columbia was the little pro
peller Allen, Captain Tom tiladwell,
mat was capable ot carrying lew nassen
gers and a little freight. She only made
a iew trips, nowever, when she was
wrecked or cast away, and her old iron
hull may still be seen at any low
water a short distance above Mitchell's
Point on the Edgar Locke farm. As the
scnooner that we came up on would not
be ready to return for some days, and a
down river trip was likely to be a tedious
one, we determined to take passage on
me Alien, wnicn was to start the next
morning. -
1 he trip down the river was a rough
one, and after an all-day battle with the
winus anu waves we reaches White Sal
mon, then the onlv settlement between
Fort Dalles and Cascades. The sole
white resident here was E. S. Joslvn.
who with his wife had located there, if
niy memory serves me right, the year
previous. It was determined to remain
here over night, and as there was no
accommodation on the boat not even a
cold handout Mr. Joslyn, who was at
the landing, very cordially invited all
hands to his home, which invitation it is
needless to say was gladly accepted.
It is remarkable how a man's person
ality is reflected in everything that sur
rounds him, and the welcome extended
to the hungry and tired passengers and
crew of tbe Allen by Mr. Joslyn and his
estimable wife seemed to extend down
to even the old watch dog, whose busi
ness it was during the night to post the
moon on tbe events of the preceding
day. The morning proved pleasant and
the rest of the trip was uneventful.

In the following article on the earlv
history of Hood Kiver I have to depend
largely on my memory rrom our ar
rival here until 1858, when our family
record begins, to which I shall refer
freely. Of that little band of pioneers
who came to Hood Riverin 1854, James
M. Benson of Tbe Dalles and mvself
are the only ones living. Mrs. 1'hila
Burt (nee Jenkins) died in Los Angeles.
aoout eigni montns ago, at a ripe old
William Jenkins, with tiis son Wal
ter, was drowned at tbe mouth of Hood
river in 1854. Nathaniel Coe died at
the homestead In 18t8. Mary W. Coe
died at Hood River in 18!tt. N. 8.
Benson died In Auburn, New York, In
1809; Charles C. Coe at Hood River in
kiigeue r. Coe in Portland In
18D3; and L. W. Coe in San Francisco
II 18i8.
The only landmark left of these earlv
ays is tbe old Coe homestead, on State
street in this city, a picture of which is
here given. UI our Indian friends,
nearly all of those who were old enough
to take an active part in those days
ave passed over to the huppy hunting
rounds. A uotatile exception is old
ohu Slibiuder, whose picture is here
given. He must now be clnee to his
centennial year aud Is still a hale and
hearty old man. After an intimate
acquaintance, lasting nearly half a cen
tury, I can truthfully say that I never
knew a more honest, truthful or up
right man, black or white, thau old
Slibinder never wavering in his
friendship to tbe whites, ever risking
the anger , of the bostiles during the
troublous times of tbe Indian war of
1856. Charlie Copiax, another Indian
friend, still lives ou his farm in tbe
Yakima Indian reservation, and old
Ueorge Kinney, the self-iuflicted pen
sioner of our little city, still lives.moves
and has his being. Pat Williams and
Jim Cluhoc were mere boys of about
10 or 12 vears. All tbe rest have gone,
faded before tbe breath of tbe white
man. as the mist before the morning
sun. and in tbe dreamland of their
happy bunting grounds chase the red
deer from bis lair as in oays or oid.
ORIGIN OF THR NAMB "DOG RIVER."
In tbe early part of June, 1854, N
Coe. with bis son, E. F. Coe, accom
panied by William Jenkins and his
brotber-iu-law, Nathan S. Benson, ac
quaintances of ours rrom Auburn, Psew
York, left Portland for Hood River,
Hood River was originally known as
Dog river, and obtained its name in
the following manner. I can not give
the date of the occurrence, though
conversed with a man only a few years
ago who was one of the party. A band
of cattle was being brought down from
The Dalles and reached the river at
dusk. The cattle were driven across
the river, while the party camped on
the east side, in tne night a heavy
rain storm came up, ana in tbe morn
Ing the river was too high to cross
The rains continued for a number of
days, and the party ran out of food and

objected to the name, and as the
stream had its head in Mount Hood
she proposed to call it Hood river. This
name was thought very appropriate
ana was auoptea oy every one.
x have no written data to set tbe ex
act day of the departure of
the party from Portland, only
remember a little circumstance that
occurred the day before they left, when
Mr. jeiiKins Drought to our bouse
little brown cornucopia containing 12
nice ripe cherries, for which he had
just paid 25 cents. So I concluded that
it must have been early in June. ... '
The party were more than pleased
with the country and decided to make
their homes here, iliev returned to
Portland for an outfit, and Mr. Jenkins
sent for his family aud anotherbrotuer
in-law, James Benson, and then all
bands returned to Hood River to pre
pare nomes ior tueir raruiues. on
what has of late been known as tbe
Coe homestead they found a small log
caom, erected by Judge JLaughlin. in
1852, and on the land selected by Jen-
Kins, a nouse nad been built bv Dr.
Farnsworth at the same date as the one
built by Judge Laughlin.
Previously to our selection of Hood
River as our future home, our folks hnd
decided to start In the mercantile busi
ness at The Dalles and had had a bill
of lumber sawed at the Cascades for
store building. This lumber was sent
to Hood River, the old homestead was
built of it, aud in September my moth
erand I came up from Portland. We
were all domiciled in the old Laughliu
nouse, as tne new house was not com
plete but was finished so that we moved
in before the rainy season set in. The
bouse was no palace, though much
better than out of doors. There was
no ceiling nor cloth or paper; no par
titions; only one large room 20x40,
The winter, however, proved to be a
reiiiurKituiy mim one, so we managed
