BYRNE A.a't Mgr. W. J. BAKER RECALLS EARLY RAILWAY DAYS Thirtj-three year ago the people of Portland had their eyes turned to Mult nomah Falls just as today, when the Columbia highway, which passes at the foot of the giant cascade, is (tearing completion. And the eagerness and eipectsncy cf three decades ago as brought about by the completion of a lap in a great transcontinental trans portation system. It was here that the silver spike, commemorating the join ing of the rails of divisions of the com pleted O. R. 4 N. Co. line, wss driven. The incidents of the former celebra tion are recalled by W. J. Baker, a pi oneer conductor of the early railway lines of the northwest, who had charge of the train that bore the Portland party to Multnomah Kails for the driv ing of the silver spike. Mr. baker, who is 64 years old, ia a native of Iowa. In ltet7. when his family was living at Boone, la., he was a passenger on the first excursion train ever run over the Chicago & Northwestern railway line from Chica go'to Conucil li luffs. r,lt was that day," he says, "that 1 was imbued with the ambition to be come a railroad man. No sooner had I returned home than I applied for a position, and a few months later began work as a newtbny. In another month I was promoted to the position of freight brakemau." In 1868 Mr. Baker, following the conductor under whom he had learned the business, Morris Ueheene, left the C. & N. W. Co. and accepted a position with the Union Pacific Co. "We ran over the old Bridger divis ion," he says, between Kawlina and Bryan, Wyo. 1 was a brakeman on this run when the Snake Indians, on March 17, 1809, r Hided the town. Forty or 60 of us armed ourselves and pur sued the Ked Men. At Cherokee Springs, a short distance from the town, the Indians gave fight. None of our men Iwere injured, but one of the Snakes bit the dust. The Indian was brought tack to town. On the station platform he was scalped, and portions of the scalp given to the participants in the battle as souvenirs. Soldiers were called out to quell the uprising." Mr. Baker later went to the Illinois Central lines, braking on the Iowa di vision. In 1870 he was promoted to a conductorship. While in this position he was in charge of one of the trains that conveyed Gen. Geo. A. Custer and his troop of cavalry to Sioux City en route to the Black Hills, where he en gaged in his fatal encounter. As a memento of this trip Mr. Baker has in his possession a camp chair that was stolen from Gen. Custers' private baggage by one of his brakemen. "As soon as I knew the chair was taken from the train," he says, I be gan some personal sleuthing, and dis covered where it had gone. The brake man became frightened and hid the article near a lonely little station. Several weeks later it came into my possession, but was never reclaimed by the government." C. G. Pratt, formerly president of the Hood Kiver State bank, now a res ident of Los Angeles, was conductor of another section of the train conveying Gen. Custer's troops. There were sev en sections in the train. In 1880 Mr. Baker returned to the Union Pacific, taking up the passenger service. He remained with that line until he came to Oregon in 1882. "1 rirst had charge of a work train on the O. R. & N. line, before it was com pleted, at Shell Rock, just west of Hood River. 1 was shortly transferred from Port land to Walla Walla, running to Ripar ia, where connections were made with Lewiston, Idaho, river steamers. "In 1884 1 was in charge of the first passenger tram ever brought through from St. Paul to Portland, my division being between Wallula and Portland. Later I was stationed at Huntington. In 1885 I was blockaded for 22 days at Huntington on account of the snows in the mountains, and was in charge of the lirst train run through from east ern Oregon to Portland, after the tracks were cleared." Mr. Baker's marriage had taken place the year before and his first child, Mrs. Harry DeWitt, was born 24 hours after he arrived on his memora ble run from Huntington. In 1885 Mr. Baker purchased a tract of land in Hood River valley. For Beveral years before he left railroading he had been studying books on horti culture. He and his family'removed here in 1886. As Boon as he was able to clear the land.Mr. Baker planted the first apple orchard set out in Hood River for commercial purposes. The place has been subdivided, and today the larger portion of it is owned by E. H. Shepard, editor of Better Fruit. W. M. Swick has 10 acres of the orig inal Baker tract, on which today may be seen one of the premier pear orch ards of the valley. Mr. Baker retired from orcharding II years ago, and has been engaged since in the real estate business. GRAND ARMY HEAD HERE NEXT MONDAY Members of Canby Post G. A. R. are expecting an interesting meeting next Monday afternoon, when H. S. Fargo, of Portland, Commander of the Oregon department of the Grand Army, will make an official visit to the city. The officers of the Post urge that all veterans of the valley make it a point to be present at the meeting. The Post and local citizens will as semble at Idelwilde cemetery on Mon day, May 31,lfor the regular ceaetnon ies of observing Memorial day. Schools to Study Fire Lessons State school authorities throughout Oregon are cooperating with the stale board of forestry and Oregon Forest Fire Association in carrying forest fire lessons to public school pupils before the 1915 danger season opens. Over 70,000 little booklets are being distrib uted containing a story entitled "The Friends of the Forest,!' written by E. T. Allen, which weavea into attractive story form, with a boy and squirrel as heroes, the age old prevalence of fire in these states, the struggles of the trees for self preservation and the in terest of men and children in our forest resources. , Taking Care of the Children No parent would consciously be care less of the children. Joe A. Kozmann, Clarkson, Nebr., uses Foley's Honey and Tar for his two children forcroup.coughs and colds. He says, "We are never without Foley's Honey and Tar in the nouse, A distressing cougn, eieepiess nights, and raw, inflamed throat lead to a run down condition in which the child is not able to resist contagious or infect' ious diseases. Foley's Honey and Tar is truly healing and prompt in action. It relieves coughs, colds, croup, whoop- J nig cough, bold by Ctias. Clarke. BETTER BABIES CAM PAIGN IS NOW ON Enthusiasm, for the cause of better babies is rapidly grcir.g. Recently it received a strong impetus from the visit of Mrs. Aristene Felts. Better babiea ia the catch word, but better mothers is the real heart cf the move ment. Better babies, better boys and girls, better citisens cannot help re sulting from better rrMhers. Mm. Felts, as prendent of the Ore gon Congress of Mothers, has had a wide experience in this line of work, and her talk was noet interesting. She said that one day a week is de voted to the testing cf t ames at their regular bureau of bat.ies at the court house. No prizes are awardtd, no ad vert'sement of perfect physical speci- menta is made in tne papers or else where. The real prize is given each mother. It is a bettt r understsnding of her child and his needs. The adver tisement gets abroad in the most effec tive manner possible, one mother preaching the benefits received to an other who may receive them if she will. A waiting list of over 200 babies always confronting them attests the effectiveness of this form of advertise ment. Its gospel is evidently preached in many languages, for babies of over a score of different nationalities have been examined, including those from even such remote parts as China, Rus sia and Iceland. In consequence moth ers have to register early and await their summons considerably later. Mrs. Felts told how simply and easi ly the test is made; bow that capable and willing public servants in the form of doctors and nurses connected with the bureau of better babies donate their time and the Irnefil of their knowledge and experience to eager mothers. Mrs. Felts went on to say that they were, moreover, willing to give a day's services in different parts of the state for the furtherance of this cause. The matter of securing them for Hood River is now in the hands of our secretary, Mrs. C. D. Hoyt. It ia hoped that a preliminary test may be arranged in about a month's time. The exact date, together with a list of the visiting committees to whom to apply, will be announced later. Mothers are advised to register early either in person or by phone, as it will have to be a case of first come first served. In describing the examination of the babies, Mrs. Felts laid stress upon the fact of its privacy. She said, "We do not flaunt our babies to the public as we do cur prize stock. Each doctor and attendant is screened off in a sort of little booth, making the whole test as comfortable and agreeable as poss ible for both child and mother." The spirit of the Mothers' Congress is very much opposed to prize giving. The only exceptions that they suggest to this rule is occasionally in the case of two tests at six or 12 month inter vals in which mothers are awarded prizes for babies not having the high est score, but those showing the great est amount of improvement in the in terval. As a rule, however, no.ottier prize ia needed than the mother's own gratification. This; system gives a weak baby even greater chance for a prize than a robust one. MrB. Felts concluded by saying, "To show that the whole system of baby testing is developing, each year it is being revised and improved." Hood River eagerly awaits its op portunity to get in touch with this line of progress as all otheis. It will be particularly Interesting for those mot net s who are able to get their ba bies into the first test to see their de velopment by the'time of the second, which will take place as originally planned, at the time of the school chil dren's industrial fair in September.
