PIONEER DAYS 1.N HOOD RIVER VALLEY No history ii more Interesting to the people of a community than thit deal ing with the earl; history of the re gion, and yet, unfortunately little ii made of pioneer history. It it (ratify ing to tee the interest that it being taken in the public schools today in Oregon history. The following chapter on' Hood River, taken from the book, "iJemineseencea of Eastern Oregon," by Mrs. Elizabeth Laughtin Lord, who spent most of her me at me Dalles, should especially appeal to Hood River people. The chapter was read at the recent pioneer reunion by Mm. W. K. Hanson. In 1S52 an old neighbor from Mis souri, Dr. Farnswortb, with his family, came across the plaint and stopped her. Father proposed to the Doctor that they get all the cattle they could and go down to Hood River and take up land, make homes and grow rich on stock raising. The two winters we passed here (The Dalles) having been exceedingly mild, he tupposed they would always be ao. Father ; made all tne arrangements for moving away, and the next day after they arrived we moved down to the river, at the same piaee wnere we had tried to board a barge two yeara before, the mouth of Chenoweth creek. This time father had engaged a barge to take the two famines, and it was there ready for us. They loaded all of our things-lamer nau oougni me furniture in the mesa house onto the fUtboat, together with Dr. Fanrns wortb't; also the two families and we dronoed down the river. The stock had an Been rounaea up nnd herded toward the mountain west of Chenowith creek to father, with the two men herding, set off to drive them over the mountain. He had been down once before and thouhgt it a tine loca tion. He made the trip with horses and cattle in less thun two days. The flatboat made it in one, landed east of Hood river and we camped there in the willows. The boatmen were In no hurry and leisurelv we unloaded. Fathar turned the stock across the river and joined ut in ramn with his men. I hey put the wagons together, loaded up. and the next day forded the river and drove to Summons by Publication In the circuit Court of Hood Hlver County, Oregon. Anna Urirp, Plaintiff ) v. W. II.

As soon as we got into mat rapid whirling water the kitten was terrified and yowled and scratched that poor man's back at a great rate. 1 felt that we were being swept away, mv head swam so. but I held onto the kitten. Father selected the place for his cabin near the spring where the old Coe house stood. Mrs. Coe used our little cabin for a storeroom for several vearg. It was only 12 or 14 feet square. In the first place they set the two tents we had Kept, ana nxeo tup comfortable camp, the Doctor doing the same on bis side of the creek. Then they selected the sites for their cabins, the' Doctor taking the one on his side, afterwards the Donation claim of Mr. Jenkins, and now owned by Dr. Adams, father chose the spring 1 spoke of. His cabin was rough and small, for James was then taken very sick with typhus fever and all haste was made to get sneiter, as rains were sett ine in and the closeness to the lit tle stream with its rank vegetation and bushes was thought to be bad tor him. The Doctor having auite a family, his old father, a grown son and several lit tle eirls. built quite a good lug cuoin, hewing the loss. To be sure, there was onlv one large room with a fire nlnce.but thev were fine for the times. We had a cook stove, cupboard, table, a few chairs, and two bedsteads. Our door was made from boards of dry poods boxes, and was in two sections, one above the other. The window had no eash. but was made of slats nailed across and had a curtain over it. Father had expected to have both lum ber and sash, but they never came. He made the shakes for the roofs of both houses. James was very ill for a long time When he took a turn for the better he was nothing but skin and bones. When he was beginning to sit up, one morn in? a voune Indian came in and sat down by the stove. As his dirt and fish odorous clothes warmed up the air was rather pungent, james ireiieu and fussed and finally told mother he was going to faint. Mother had felt it to be unwise to antagonize the Indians unnecessarily, but she tianlly told him to so as her boy was sick. lhe man arose, started out, turned a look of scorn on James and said in Chinook, You snarl and fuss like a sick dog, I will leave you. I have no date, but know that very earlv in November there came quite a deep snow, then cold rains, which formed a neavv crust, some or mis snow still lav on the ground in March There were snow storms.Jthaws, freeges and many temporary changes, but the ground was never bare for over four months. Five miles below us was a camp of men caring for several hundred head of cattle, mostly steers, which had been bought from the immigrants. When the storm came, these all came up into the fir erove by us. From our spring there ran down through the beautiul srove quite a little canyon. Along the top edge or this turner, witn tne aid oi Indians, whom he hired, felled trees and made sheds of poles and boughs, which he used as corrals to protect his cattle. He also felled other trees and made them fall so that aa they lay they fenced off a large space around our house. When the storm came with furv. these cattle, ours, the Doc tor's and the Bradford a, all crowded around our cabin, bellowing and horn ing each other all night, until they broke tbe door in in their fighting. Tbev came to the grove for shelter. and seemingy around tne nouse lor human sympathy. The next morning father dtew the wagon in front of tbe door and put poles at each end until he could do better. One night Frank, who slept with father and mother, cried out, "The Curt ! The Curt 1" Mother thought he was dreaming, but the next morning the curtain was gone and she never saw a trace of it again, u was a red and green shawl and had been made in Missouri, the cow nad lapped her tongue through the slats and bad drawn it out, and he had seen it go, but was too sleepy to explain. Tbat was one of the most trying winters that one can imagine. Father sent a letter to the men to come and take their cattle awsy, but they aban doned their camp and went down on the ice to the Cascades. Father worked all winter trying to save his own. cutting brush and trees for them to browse on the tender buds and branches. Every morning would reveal more and more dead, until it was ter rible. They were piled up in the ravine until it was nearly full. The Coes leveled this ravina before they planted I their orchard there. Father went cp ' Hood river to see what the horses were . doing. Until the crust got quite hard j they would feed on the steep hillsides 1 by pawing the snow down and did fairly well, but after tbat they suffered j so tbat only 17 bead got through alive. Father shot a number of deer during the winter, which were very welcome, aa we ran short of provisions, although an ample supply was tsken down with us; but in hiring the Indians to help us, they demanded their pay in flour. Finally we ran out. rather tried to hire the Indians to go to The Dalles to buy some. They finally consented to go to the Cascades. On returning they ! only had a small amount, and that was shorts, which cost an enormous price. I They claimed hair or that for their pay for their time and trouble. We bad been without for ten days, living on venison and potatoes. When Dr. f arnsworth saw ins cattle dying, he became ao discouraged that he was anxious to get away. There were no boats on the river, as it had been froten over a part of the time. The Doctor and father and James Farnswortb went to work and felled a very large fir tree, cut off a section of about 30 feet and burned, dug and hewed out the ' inside, and cut and shaped the outside into a large, hand some- canoe. Ihey bitched oxen and hauled it on the snow to the river, where they loaded all their belongings onto it and paddled away, out of our knowledge for years. When the cows we had brought across the plains began to fail and get too weak to get up mother got very depsondent and said she would never give up uid Ked. We children hunted up and down tne spring braiiches for grass and sheltered soots day after day. We would drive the calves and yearlings to clear places we would find, where they could pick a few spears of grass. We frosted our feet often, and they got so Diisiereo and sore that we could not put our shoes on in the morning until they had been softened uo. but after we lim bered up off we went again. Many of the cattle were ours, bought with the money we had earned, but we lost the last one. Mother saved her dear old favorite. The chickens were put under the cabin floor, and a hole cut so they could come out when it was pleasant, Nearly all had their feel and wings frozen, and many died, but enough were saved to start with again. While (he weather was severe mother would soak their feet in cold water to draw the frost out. We children would bring in a Dan of snow in the evening and tub our chilblains before we could go near the fire. They would burn so that we could not sleep at night. Mother had some linen stockings that she had knit in Missouri. We all wanted to wear them as the linen was cool Anion a us we wore them out. They were a beautiful pair, all open woik over the Instep. When spring came we were again without flour, so father made a small canoe and came up to The Dalles and leased land from Major Alvord, who was agent for the government, with the contract that they would buy all the hav and forage of all kinds he raised. I had nearly forgotten that he made the trio in the winter. While he was gone at that time, we were aroused by a stranee sound, in listening aim iook ing out (it was a bright moonlight night) the sounds drew nearer, and soon the forms of a band of large prairie wolves came in sight near the house. They have the most forlorn howl ever heard, and for us there alone, it was intensely saddening. Mother, In reassuring us children, helped to overcome her own feelings. After a concert of an hour, as they sat there on the crusted snow, they seemed to chulter awhile and then all trotted olf. 'Ihey were probably drawn there by the smell of venison.
