J. M. BLOSSOM HAS
HAD VARIED CAREER
The city of Hood River nd. pcrhup.
the Ute of Oregon has no more unique
character than J M. Kluffcom, ho
now, 63 years cf age, is filhr.R out his
life of bachelorhood in a little horr.e
here, after a varied career of cltrk,
school teacher, law student, n.iner,
(arm hard, ra.lrosd Furvevor, express
messenger, and ordinary "hoboeing,"
that has taken him or practically all
of the etateg of the northwest and the
Pacific coast. 1o the stranger Jim
l!lfi.-isom,8i he is known by tia friend?,
still prevents the apDearar.ro of a
tranip. His regulation cos-tume ci.n
siMa of a little cap, seemingly too
mall for his head, a blue shirt, lug
ger's coat, corduroy or overalls trous
ers, heavy brogan fhocs and socks of
brilliaft. red and white stripes. But
when one engages in a conversation
with Jim lilossom he forgets his eccen
tricities of dress. 'I he rough lookirg
eld man is found to be a student, with
an understanding not only of the topics
of the day, but versed in classical lit
erature and ready to discuss intelli
gently questions of science and philos
ophy. And the tales he can draw from
his personal experiences are interest
ing, when he can be persuaded to talk
of them.
Mr. Blossom was born in Fort
Wayne, Ind., March 20, 1H01. When he
was but a year old his father jour
neyed across the plains by ox wagon
and settled in 1'ortland, where he en
gaged in business. "The greater part
of my boyhood dys were spent in
Portland, si.ys ftir. Blossom. 1 at
tended school there for about eight
years, part of the time at the old Port
land Academy and Female Seminary,
and part of the time at the only pillule
school at that time, called 'Free
School.'
"While not in school 1 clerked in
tho store of K. J. Northrup. At the
age of 17 years I was tiiken out of
school by father, who went to Silver
City, Ida., where he entered the mer
cantile bufincFS, and where 1 assisted
him with his work. My father failed
in business and I got work in other
stores at different Idaho towns. About
this time my father decided that 1
should lie a lawyer and sent me to
Portland, where I entered the otlice
of Logan, Shuttuck & Killen as a
student and clerk. This lasted, how
ever, for only about a year, when I
was taken to Smith Hill, where my
father began a store on the line of the
railroad that was being constructed
from 1'ortland to California. This was
in 1871 and '72.
"When 1 became of age I again went
to Portland, securing various jobs and
finally landing a place as rodman,
bookkeeper, etc., at the ollice of citv
surveyor, W. S. Chapman, an old
schoolmate. This job lasted for about
nine months.
"In tho summer of 1871 1 secured
tt position of school teacher of the
'Columbia Slough' district about six
miles from Portland and not far from
Vancouver. 1 rustled my own wood
and got $30 a month. I boarded
'around' with the patrons. The school
building was out in the woods, Jwith not
a house in sight. It was constructed
of logs. There was no chimney and
the smoke from my fires escaped
.through the roof. It was very plainly
furnished, too, but a fair number of
boys and girls received their rudiments
of learning there. I am proud to say
that 1 never struck one a blow with
my hands nor a whip, but punished the
children by scolding or 'keeping in,' an
unusual method for those days. The
worst hoy in school shed tears, when I
left. They may have been tears of
joy, but he wept just the same. I had
but few visitors. County school super
intendent, Kev. T. I.. Eliot, came out
to see us once. A little squirrel came
into the school house the same day.
However, many aflectionate mosqui
toes came to see us and stung the bare
legs and feet of my pupils."
After his experience as a teacher
ended, Mr. Blossom drifted to Marsh
tield and thence to San Francisco.where
for two years he was ollico boy and
clerk of Judge Ulake, who presided
over Hie municipal court of the city
and county of San Francisco. Judge
Blake gave Mr. Blossom a testimonial,
at the time he left the firm after about
two years' service, which he later filed
with the supreme court when he sought
admission to the Oregon bar. When
Mr. Blossom was admitted to the bar,
he was sworn in by P. H. O'Arcy, at
that time clerk of the court.
"I had such small financial backing,"
says Mr. Blossom, "when I began to
practice law that I soon had to quit. 1
struck out for eastern Oregon, which
was talked of very much at the time as
a land of opportunity."
After various experiences as a mem
ber of railroad surveying parties, pros
pector and express agent, he was ad
mitted to the practice of law in Wash
ington. This, however, did not last
long. He drifted to The Dalleg, where
he was engaged with Charles Kawson
and It. II. Weber on their nursery. He
later came to Hood Hiver, working for
ranchers and at a brick factory. He
finally secured a homestead in the
Mount Hood district. The property
was sold several years ago, returning
to Mr. Blossom a neat sum of money.
The competency will keep him comfort
able to a ripe old age. He declares
that he is on the retired list, but the
greater portion of his time is spent in
reading.
Rheumatism Quickly Cured.
"My sister's husband bad an attack
of rheumatism in his arm," writes a
well known resilient of Newton, Iowa.
"I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain's
Liniment which he applied to his arm
and on the next morning the rheuma
tism was gone'" For chronic, muscular
rheumatism you will find nothing bet
ter than Clianilierlain's Liniment. Sold
by all dealers.

GUS MILLER HAS A
DIVERSIFIED FARM
An example of what may be accom
plished on a small tract, practicing a
limited diversified farming, may be
sien on the rir.e acre place of Gus Mil
ler at the wct correr of Avalon Way
at d the Belmont road, just west of the
city. Except for the home site, Mr.
Miller has the et tire place in tries,
n.uslty commercial a pies. However,
he has some pears, and a number of
each trees aid other small fruits,
enough fur his home use. Mr. Miller
grows strawberries between his tree
atd from this crop has derived a hand
sen. e income each jcar. The berry
plants have been removed from the
older orchard, and with the end of this
""i' H cf the terries will be plowed
ui tier.
Mr. Miller is a poultry fancier, his
favorite species being Rhode Island
Reds. His pens of big, handsome birds
ferm an ir.tert stir.g sight for visiters,
ai d this year he has a small flock of
young turkeys. A corn patch is thriv
ii g among the trees of a portion of
his orchard, and other vegetables fur
nish him with food for his own table
in addition tn a revenue from the sales
made in the local market. He has se
cured a hive of bees, which recently
added another hive by swarming, and
these are beneficial in pollenizing the
trees in addition to the plentiful sup
ply of honey furnished.
"I am contented," says Mr. Miller,
"for I believe 1 have located in the
garden spot of the home locations of
the valley. 1 grow enough produce to
pay for my groceries, and can take
care of my, entire place myself."
Several families of Indians, who
have worked fur him during the har
vest reason for a number of years, are
picking the berries of Mr. Miller at
the present time. The Redmen are
from Celilo and the Yakima tribes.
Their spokesman, "Sam," a big rugged
fellow, has one of the handsomest
bead and leather work regalias ever
seen in - the district. The Indian,
