THGS. D. CALKINS
Carton C. Masiker was born in Kane
county. III.. February 25. 1852. The
family started overland for Oregon that
year, "the great cholera year." and
most of the number of the train were
cut off by the cholera, mountain fever
and other diseases prevalent on the
Platte river. A mere remnant of six
wagons reached Box Elder, Utah, in
October, too late to attempt the re
maining portion of the trip that fall.
They and a few other belated emi
grants decided to build few cabins to
winter in, and sent a deputation of
three men, of whom the father of the
subject'of this sketch was one. down to
Salt Lake City to see Brighani Young
and ask hia permission to winter there.
It was thought best to propitiate the
"Saints" and keep on good terms with
them. "Brigham" received them quite
graciously and in response to their re
quest said :
"Your teams are badly jaded from
your long trip. We want to form a set
tlement out there in the spring. How
would it suit you for us to send out
some fresh teams to do the hauling,
the men of your party to put up the
buildings, and build about twice as
many as you want for yourselves? I
will send out some people to winter
with you. You will be sarer from the
Indiana and when you leave in the
spring we are to have all the buildings.
They will be of no more use to you
then."
Brigham's proposition was accepted
and its terms carried out. When the
buildings were completed the name,
"Ft. Box Elder." was adopted, and
the emigrants spent rather a pleasant
winter there. But they were anxious
to get through and made an early start
in the spring of 1853 for Oregon.
On the way they were joined at Ft.
Hall by a family that had wintered
there. All went fairly well with the
little patty and they reached Oregon
City on the third of July, 1853.
Georee Masiker. the head of the
family consisting of his wile and (three
children, located a donation ciaim one
mile east from where Ft. Yam-Hill
was afterward built, in Polk county,
where they resided till April, I860,
when they removed to Wasco county,
settline near Dufur. where they re
mained till April, 1862, when they went
across Deschutes river into wnai is now
Sherman county. They were the sec
nnd family to settle in the county
George Masiker died April iu, iw. dui
the family continued to live mere ioi
many years. The place is now known
as Poplar Grove and is some seven
miles west of the town or wasco.
In 1867. at the age of 15. Larson U
Masiker was out on the Canyon City
read driving a freight'team for Col
Kulton. in law ne maoe a trip io
Grande Ronde valley, assisting
hrnther-in-law and his family to move
there. Later he went to Walla Walla
and drove an ox team in a logging
camp up in the mountains on the Walla
Walla river, returning nnme laie in me
fall. Remaining at home until Janu
ary, 1870, he went to Portland with the
intention of learning the machinist's
trade. Failing to get a situation in a
machine thoo. he went down to West-
nnrt and worked in the Westport log-
gery till spring when he started for the
Boise mines. Keturning irom noise in
the fall of 1870 he went up on John
I)av river and settled in Hay btacK
valley and engaged in the stock busi
ness, whicn ne ioliowea ior zu years.
He was married on March 25, 1876,
to Miss Jennie D. Parrish. whose la
ther, T. M. A. J. Parrish, crossed the
olains in 1844. and whose mother came
around the Horn with the misisonaries
in 1837. Mrs. Parrish was a daughter
of Alason Beers, who was a black
smith in the employ of the missionaries
and became joint governor on me ior
mation of the provisional government
at ChamDoes in 1843. Mrs. Masiker
died in December. 1876. leaving an in
fant son. In June. 1878, Mr. Masiker
was married to Miss Mary Issabelle
Henderson, of Columbus. Washington.
To this union there were born five chil
dren, all but one of whom are living.
During his stay in nay qibck Mr.
Mnsiker served for eight years as jus
tice of the peace. Selling out at Hay
Stack in 1890 be went to bumpier vai
ley in Baker county, where he was
foreman of the nm construction gang
on the SumDter Valley railroad. Ke
turning to Sherman county in 1891 he
settled near Biggs not far from his
old home, where he remained till No
vember, 1896, when he came to Hood
River and bought a land claim on Neal
creek, where he still resides.
Mr. Masiker takea a lively interest
in the pioneers of the Pacific north
mpat and has written numerous scraps
of history of the different localities he
has been acquainted with, ne nas bibo
been a scribbler of verses for more
than 40 yeys.

In the middle of the last century, it
was no unusual thing to meet a lum
bering prairie schooner westward
bound with the startling information
painted on the canvas that the owner
was going to reach "r'ike s 1'eak or
bust." This year there is another
schooner and a far different westward
trend. Were there to be a paraphrase
of the old words of hope, it would be,
'The Pacific coast and back," on gay
pennants decorating thousands of auto
mobiles. Trails to the setting sun are
to be crowed with the machines of
countless vacationists who make the
Panama expositions their objective
DOints.
"The Pacific coast and back" is a
phrase coined with all the confidence in
the world. The science of transporta
tion has been mastered and today there
is no fear of "busting."
"In the case of owners of Mudebaker
automobiles, the assurance is doubly
sure," says H. W. Dunning, a Boston
man. whose business is personally con
ducting parties "from coast to coast"
in seven passenger Mudebaker automo
biles. "Not content with turning out
the best machines the $45,000,000 cor
poration can produce, the thousands of
Mudebaker cars employed in the peace
ful invasion of the Pacific slope will
find along their western way literally
hundreds of Studebaker service stations
for their accommodation.
"When an owner needs an adjust
ment made, he always prefers to have
a man laminar wun nis car ao me
work. He even likes to buy his oil
and gasoline from a dealer who is agent
for his automobile. They have some
thing in common to talk about. The
dealer has a professional interest in
seeing that each man who drives the
car he sells is satisfied. With a nation
wide distribution of about 60,000 auto
mobiles a year, Studebaker has repre
sentation in every city, town, and al
most every village in the united
States." '

(From the Medford Sun)
We note the following dispatch from
Hood River:
"I had never heard of the Hood Riv
er valley until 1 saw the big red apple
on exhibit in the fa I ace ot Horticul
ture at the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional exposition, said A. W. Bon
man, a business man of Omaha, Nebr.,
who was here yesterday looking over
the valley, "that display was re
SDonsible for me coming here."
When Mr. tsonman left he declared
he was contemplating a return later on
with an eye to making a purchase of
local orchard property.
JuBt how much is Medfordland the
Rogue River valley losing through hav
ing an exhibit at the Panama exposi
tion unworhty of their worth and repu
tation?
That may be "press agent dope,
but the fact remains that if Hood Riv
er has a creditable exhibit at the fair
she will profit by it, and if Jackson
county hasn't a creditable exhibitshe
will sutler by it. Publicity can t make
a bad place good, but it can make a
good place better.

the Pacific coast. LonsioeraDie dam
age was caused shipping. Stock i
eastern Oregon suffered, a heavy loss
resulting to sheep raiBers, many lambs
having been frozen to death.
" The damage to local fruit, on account
of the exceedingly dry condition of the
atmosphere, was negligible.

HOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in ao many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength ; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.
