Health is Worth Having, and Home
Hood River Purple Know
How To Have It.
Many Hood River people twite
their lives in tbetr bunds by uegleotj
iug the kidneys when they know these
organi need help. Sick ki'lneyn arc
responsible for a vast amount oi
sutleilng and ill health, but there Is
no need to suffer nor to remaiu in
dnuger when all diseases and aches
anil pains due to weak kidneys ran
be ipnckly and perinunriitly rured
iiy the use of Ooau'a Kidney Pills.
J. 0. Buckler, uf K Ninth St, Port
latd, Ore., say: "In my estimation
there is no remedy equal to Moan's
Kidney Pills. There was a constant
soreues aeross'tbe small of my baok
and stooping or littiuK would cause
sharp twinges in that part ot my
body. 1 tried orje remedy atler an
other but without result. When
Doan's Kidney Hills weie brought to
my attention, 1 procu ed a supply and
was benefitted by tbem from the Hist.
1 continued their use and thav soon
completely' removed the pain from
my back and eotrected the action ot
the kidney secretlou, which bad been
somewhat irregulai." Plenty more
proof like this from Hood River peo
ple. Call at C. N. Clarke's drug store

the Desolate.'' Suppose I give you
a tew points on the real history ot
Biggs 1 do not know sit about Biggs
by any meant, but 1 do kno a grea
deal more about it than John II.
CradlebiuikMj doea.
Hi gs was first built it the mouth
of Sfmiisb Hollow lli- hollow was
so named because two Spanish cows
were found ranging in it, at t e cross
ing of the tll emigrant rod, since
known as the Baton place, these
cows were supposed to have been lost
from a drove on its way from the
Willamette valley to l-'oit Walla
Walla, tor the use cf the garrison.
shortly after the close of the Cajuse
war.
In 18111 a portion of the ItOUlgtaOt
train, that Dr. Wbitniau piloted
aoroai the i laitis, camped at tne
mouth ot Spanish Hollow and wsiteil
here a while ou account of sicklier.
Betoie leaving thty buried the re
mains ot one of their women there
aud In 1891 the winds In shifting the
sands lett these remains exposed, and
Mr. Samuel Price, now of Hood River
l.oxed up the boues and gave notice
of their llnding.
During the bard winter of 18lil-'2
Kmment Miller's stage, running tioui
Walla Walls to The Dalles, was block
ed in the snow at Well Springs, and
his passengers and other travelers to
the number of sixteen smarted from
Scott's terry on the John Pay river,
a point since known as Leonard's
Bridge, and undertook to make their
way to The Dalles. Oue of then
made his way down Spanish Holl w
and thence down the Columbia to
the house of Wui. tirabam, where the
Deschutes station now stands lie
reported the others ou the way and
as they did unt arrive, John Irwin
and Charles l'oole started out to
meet them. At daylight the next
morning they each took a saddle
horse, (the travelers were all on loots
and found two men at the plane where
Higgs was afterwards (built.
I'bey had reached ttieie some time
in the night found some dritt wood
built a tire and waited for daylight.
Iheir feet were frozen but they weie
able to go ou without help, and told
our fi tends that some of the party
had tinned north hoping to reach the
Columbia and come down it. The
roads wre all obliterated and the
men became snowbliud and could
not keep a course with any scouracy.
It win aud Poole went on up to what
whs then kuowu as the Columbia bot
tom, u bhort distance above Wrants,
and found two meu, who reported
that they had l.oen compelled to
leave a man a short distance back,
who had given his name as Jonathan
Mulkey.
He was found at Murray's Spring,
frozen down to the snow so that they
had to cut him loose to get him up.
lhey put him on a horse and brought
him duwn to the point of rocks nbore
Biggs, fearing to trust to the toot
ing of the horse coming abound the
point, 1 1. mii took him on bis baik
not down on all fouis and carried
him down to Biggs, (reeling his own
bBiids in the operation. Mulkey wa-i
so badly frozen thHt he died a few
Jays later. Nine of the sixteen came
in. Some ot the omicis were iounu
alter the su w had gone the next
spring and bome were never found.
After the ruilroad whs built, lleury
Helms, ot ( oiumt us, Wash., came
iiver Btid built h hotel at Higgs.
Dixon McDonald, now of Hood
Kiver, and I, is paitPer, Hubert (ilnn,
now "i Muro, built n i iHtform and
warehouse tor the handling of hent.
They later kept a itnte there, lhe
Kilmers Uorperative Warehouse Co.,
and BllOtan a platform and warenoase
in the sauie business. A company
composed ot E. 0. McCoy, 0. H.
Hone, now ot Hood liiver, Waltei
Moore, Heury Moore, aud perhaps
some others bought the McDonald
1 latform and continued to handle
wheat at Biggs, until the Columbia
Southern railroad built to Wasoo,
U hj Clark, uow ot Hood Kiver
built, a house ou the tioint just east
of the hollow and kept the Biggs post
otlice. lie also bundled lurabei,
wood, shingles, coal .nd lath aud at
times ran a erry between Biggs and
Columbus. He also kept a livery
stable.
After running the hotel for some
time. Mr. Helms sold out to Samuel
Price who ran the house for Home
time aud then sold to Mrs. I'loorer,
who after runing the house about a
year let it fall back to Mr. Price.
He ran it again until the Columbia
Souhteru railroad drained the busi
ness of the place down fo a pretty
low point, when he sold out to J. L
Heudersoti, who after running the
house for a time sold to Ceo. Hoff
man. Hoffman moved it up the hoi
low onto his lanch Bud used it foi a
dwelling.
During the time Mr. Price rau the
hotel, the sand formed HgainHt the
south side of the house In such bulk
as to endanger the south wall It
bulgod inward Hud hud to be braced.
Mr. McDonald took his teBin and
soiBiier aud relieved the pressuie at
times, aud later tbe writer on several
occasions scraped the sand, away to
prevent the walls from crushing iu.
due evening while wo were at supper,
the ceiling In the wash loom, unable
longer to inpport the weight jf sand
that had silled through the roof onto
it, fell with a crash t hat startled us.
Not long uttei this I was awakened
one night fcj b crackling noise follow
ed by a dull thud, then the voice ol
Thos. Van Ausdell, late of llorui
Uivei, called out, "Jim! Jim! Ke
ceiving no answer from Jim Murphy
who was ocoupying the bed with him,
Ihos. called to me to come up and
bring a light, that Jim was hurt. On
reaching the bedroom, 1 found that
the ceiling had fallen wi.h its weight
ot sand and buried Jim, who was a
sound sleeper, and had not awakened,
until it wns too late to get out ot led.
Several men set to work vigotously
with their hands and soon dug him
out. l-'ortnnateley the cloth lining
on the ceiling came down over his
face sod kept the sard out ot his
nostrils. He was not hurt and saying
that BO WM all right, went into an
l nttmr room Rod whs sound asleep in
! h"ut three minutes.
Mr. Price cut h manhole up through
the ceiling ot the main pMrt ot the
house the next day and fouud that
there was no weiaht of Band over the
other rooms.
All slept soundly alter that. But the
sand w is so bad that the people ds
ci'ted to move the town lowei down
and 1 let t, coming to Hood Hirer.
