HOOD RIVER 50 YEARS AGO
(Coullnued from 4!h page.)
he had been walking gave, way, letting
'him fall through, and In his Intense
astonishment he found himself astride
of one of his long lost ponies. The sur
prised eayuse promptly bucked him off,
and on regaining his feet he found that
all his horses were there, fat and saucy.
They had been at the bottom of the
hill when the snows ciune, and after
the crust froze, the hordes had worked
up the mountain side, pawing away
the snow under the crust, which rolled
down the hill. This left the crust
hard and intact, which protected them
from the cold and storms; in fact, so
mild and pleasant was the climate in
these dug-out places, which were acres
in extent, that the new grass had
grown so luxurienlly that the horses
had been living on it entirely for over
a mouth.
Rolierts was a great weather prophet
and firmly believed in the Zodiacal
signs, as well as the moon, staling as a
positive rule that a chinnok wind al
ways came with (he full of themoou.
Some one called to mind the fact that
in the winter of '02 there was not a
breath of west wind during the full
month of January. Roberts scratched
bis bead and to a purpose. "Why,"
he said, "that was the result of a very
peculiar phenoiuei on which occursonce
in every 1,0(10 years when there Is no
full moon for a month. January, 1802,
was the anniversary of that event."
July 4 of this year, isoi, Hood River
held its first celiliration. The spot
chosen was in the large oak grove in
front of Prol'e!Mor Thompson's resi
dence, eust of tho school building.
Hood River was then, as it always has
been, intensely patriotic and loyal to
the Union, and in those days political
feeling ran high. It was deemed nec
essary that we should have an emblem
of the Union to fly to the breeze. My
father was comm!wioned to see about
getting a Aug. 8o a trip to The Dallea
was made and material purchased,
costing $20, and sewed togrlher on a
very wonderful piece of mechanism
a sewing machine, one o.f the first on
the coast. Th work of sewing the
stripen together and binding the same,
cost $10 more without putting on the
stars, which was done l.y the ladiea of
our ueighborho-id. The flag was a
lieauty then, and is still so. The colors
are as bright as the day they floated
Bh. pawed him by with I glassy stats

With a withsriDc look the pnied him

Mebbe she knew he was a married man and had no license to rubber or
mebbe hia clothes didn't fit him; you never can tell what it is that inspires a
snub; nine times out ot ten it's clothes. WVre not going to argue with the
sage who said clothes do not make the man, but dont let's forget that the
sage was plodding in one century while we are automobiling in another.
Good clothes may not make a man, but they do give him the ong-tree to the
pink tea.

out on the breeze nearly 42 years ago.
Thirty-two persons all told participated
In the celebration.
The day came pear ending in a trag
edy. A certain young man, whom I
will not name, was unwise enough to
drink a cold-water toast to the South
ern Confederacy. A stone thrown Into
a hornet's nest would aptly illustrate
the situation in that little gathering.
In an instant, it la needless to say, that
young man realized what he had done
and none too soon, and was only too
glad to take off his hat before Old
Glory and swear allegiance to the
Union. The trees still bear the marks
of where the bower was built, and
where our flag pole was raised. The
flag is now in the hands of the Oregon
Historical Society In Portland.
In Augtist of this year, 1861, D. A.
Turner and William Odell came to the
valley. Mr. Turner bought out the
Stadden place of WillUtm Moss, who
bought it of Stadden, and Odell the
Butler farm. Also, the same fall, La
born Stetwell took up what was after
wards known as the LI II v place, south
of Joe Purser's, and a man named Joe
Wilkins took the place now known as
the Cropper ranch. ..:.- ,
SEVERE WINTER OP 1861.-- '
This brings our record down to the
fall of '61, and the beginning of the
hardest winter since the settlement of
Hood River, and in - fact the Indians
said it was the worst they had ever seen.
But the old men had a tradition that
told of a winter in which so much snow
fell that it did not melt off during the
ensuing summer, making it a contin
uous winter for over a year, and that all
the stock died off, and most of the In
dians. On November 19 snow began
to fall, and at no time after that date
was the ground entirely clear until after
April 12, 1802. - On that date, I read
from the record, "snow chiefly gone, el
cept in spots." Up to that date we bad
experienced no severe weather, thongh
one winter a large quantity of snow fell
but it did not last long. We were well
prepared both ourselves and our stock
for any ordinary winter, but a winter
lasting from November 19 to April 13,
left all former records so far behind that
they were not worthy of mention. The
mercury went down on January 16 to
24 degrees below zero, and the average
mean temperature for the month was
only 10.45 degrees above zero. The
greatest depth of snow was 4 feet 1 inch
on the level. The river closed January
1, and the first boat came up March 4.
On February 19, our provisions having
given out, I took an Indian and hand
sled and went to The Dalles to replenish
our stock of food. The trip was a dan
gerous one, as the ice was breaking op.
I broke in once, but saved the load on
the sled.
My story would be Incomplete with
out a special reference to that hardy
old pioneer, Daves Divers. Either in
the fall of '61 or '62, he located op Hood
river on the place now known as the
Divers farm. His family consisted of
his wife and three sons. One by one
the boys left him and a few years ago
the faithful wife and mother passed
through the valley of shadows. I nable
longer to csre for his many acres, he
disposed of his farm, and baying a
small place he is awaiting alone the fi
nal summons.

most deplorable accident happened that
cast a gloom over our little neighbor
hood, and resulted in the drowning of
William Jenkins and his 10 year-old son,
Walter, and James Laughlin, son of
Judge Laughlin ot The Dalles. James,
who was a schoolmate and warm ' per
sonal friend of mine, was returning to
The Dalles after having made me a visit.
It was high water and the landing at
Benson's, near the Lost Lake Lumber
company's saw mill, was reached by a
small boat. . A. C. Phelps, Mr. Jenkins,
and his boy were also of the party. The
boat, which was a large one and loaded
with empty kegs was using a Bail, which
jibbed unexpectedly and struck the boy
Walter on the head, knocking him over
board. Mr. Jenkins at once jumped in
after bim, and James, thinking he could
be of assistance grasped an empty keg
and jamped in also, but the wind was
too strong and the keg carried him
away from those he was trying to reach,
so he let it go and tried to reach Bhore,
which was only a short distance away.
Bnt when within a few feet of the land
he sank to rise no more. This left Phelps
alone in the unwieldy boat, but doing
the best he could, he made a tack out
in the river and back towards Jenkins,
who was still holding the boy and work
ing towards shore. But just as the
boat was within a few rods of him he
also sank with the boy. James Laugh
lin was a most estimable young man,
upright, honest, honorable and had a
hoBt of friends who. sincerely mourned
his untimely taking off. After Jenkins'
death, his widow married a steamboat
engineer, named Burt, and soon after
they sold the farm to Dr. B. W.Mitchell
and his father-in-law, M. C. Nye.
BALDWIN AND T1EMAN ARRIVE.
In the fall of 1804 S. M. Baldwin and
Harry Tieman located on a place near
the Sears' farm, where they remained
three years, when they moved to the
upper'Hood River valley, where they
found superior advantages, for stock
'raising, having unlimited range and an
abundance of wild hay. By dint of
hard work and frugality they soon had
the wilderness turned into blooming
orchards and billowy meadows, sur
rounded by all the comforts tbat tbe
ground could produce. These jolly old
bachelors lived care free of the world
and its troubles. Full many a merry
party from the lower valley found a
hearty welcome to the hospitable homes
of these kind-hearted men. Henry Tic
man for many years sailed nnder the
pennant of Commodore Brazee of the
United States navy, and his tales of the
sea were as interesting as they were
varied, A few years ago he made hia
last voyage, furled his sails and dropped
anchor on tbe other shore. Mr. Bald
win still lives, not on, but near the old
home, not now aa old bachelor with
bis sour dough and bacon. But the '
latch string is out just tbe same and the
welcome just as hearty as of old.
I have now brought my record down
to modern times, so to speak. Tbe ad
vent of tbe Parkhurst colony from Penn
sylvania in November, 1875. was a long
step in the development of the valley.
The building of tbe railroad, the open
ing of the locks at the Cascades, the de
velopment of the fruit industry
have in the half century passed
tamed this little valley, once lovely in
its mildness, into a valley of gardens
now lovely in its cultivation.
