NOW Meyer Street Tailors to Women LOCAL WOMAN IS PIONEER OF '52 MRS. McGUIRE TELLS EXPERIENCES Aged Woman Now Busy With Needle Pre paring Christmas Presents For Her Friends ' Friends of Mrs. Maria McGuire.aged 84 and a pioneer of 1852, tbe year of the largest immigration to Oregon.will find ber busy making Cbristmss pres ents. And the gifts, you msy be sure, arV always prised by those who receive thsm. Following the eustom of years, Mrs. MeGuire begins months before the Yuletide season to prepsre dainty treasures for ber favored friends and relatives. She uses tbe sheerest of materials and the finest of needles. Mrs.McGuire learned those nest stitch es; such as cannot be equaled by any machine, when a child in an early day private school. Her needlework is tbe wonder of all who know her. Twenty-live yean ago Mrs. Mcuuire and her husband, the late Joseph Me Guire, who passed away on Match 24, 1900, retired from the hotel business st McMinnvjlle, where for many years they bad been located, and oame here seeking health for tbe latter. They built a borne on Cascade avenue, then not much more than trail. Mrs. Me Guire has seen Hood River grow from a population of a few hundred souls to progressive city, and today a pavea street, tbe Hood River extension of the Higbwsy, passes her door. And last year, when the great scenic high way was, officially opened, no Hood Kiver man or woman was more enthus iastic than Mrs. MeGuire. as ahe sat on her front porch ana waved at tne party of prominent men of the state who formed the first party touring up the Columbia s gorge. Among tne men coming over the Highway was State treasurer 1 nomas is. Kay, an old time friend and former neighbor of the Ore gon pioneer woman. 'While 1 have lived to see much. says Mrs. MeGuire. "having witnessed the transformation of . methods of transportation, having watched tbe in stallation of everything that brings modern convenience to my home, 1 be lieve I have lived 60 years too soon. My first journey down the Columbia. just 64 years ago, required more time thao a transcontinental trip takes to day. But it is a journey I will never forget. Uften i recall tbe site or Mood River. In 1852 it waa an unbroken ex panse of oak trees covering the eloping canyonside. Hood river was called uog river, utile aid i realize, as wun my family 1 made my way slowly down the great stream on a natboat. that some day 1 would ait here watch ing the rushing limited trains of two transcontinental lines and the magnifi cent steamboats that have supplanted the old flatboat. As for tbe Columbia River Highway, it must have been a vision of every pioneer who traveled down the Columbia in tbe early days. The journey was made extremely dim cult by the portage at the cascades and the negotiation of the treacherous rap ids below. I remember at this point we lost our chest of silver, containing the family crest, Mrs. MeGuire. whose maiden name was Maria Moore, was born at Toronto, Canada, January 24, 1832. The family set out for Oregon, after reading stor ies of the great land of opportunity, in 1852. crossing Lake Ontario to uuttaio, N. Y. Across Lake Michigan tney traveled by boat to Milwaukee. Mrs, Mcuuire was of a family of eight cmi- dren, four boys and four girls. The day before the journey was begun her oldest hrotber, urawfora Moore, was married, and the ox-cart journey across the plains was his honeymoon trip. This brother while en route gave up the nlans of soma to Oregon and leav ine the family of his fsther. proceeded to Salt Lake. Utah. Later he settled in Kansas. The journey across the continent con sumed six months, the party arriving in Portland November 6, 1852. roruana was then but little more than a village 'The stumps of big trees could be seen in the streets." says Mrs. Mc Guire. "All buildings were little one story frame structures. The sign of the Oregomsn was seen attached to one of these little buildings. My fsther immediately subscribed for the paper From that time to this i nave oeen a resular reader of the Oregoman. To day 1 would rather go on two meals a dsv than to forego my morning paper." The long trip was a nara ana teaious one, according to tee sioiy or tne agea pioneer. But 14 miles of railway naa been constructed in the state of Wis consin, and none in lowa. ine party passed through Lies Moines ana L-eoar Kaoids. Ia.. then mere villages, and the greater portion of the fertile area of western Iowa was vacant, wun oniy an occasional building or small settle ment. A short distance before - the Missouri river was reached the party passed through the Mormon settlement of Kanesvine. "At that time." says Mrs. MeGuire. tbe Mormons were abandoning this point and leaving for Utah. We did not see a single building where today Omaha is located. From that point until we reached Fort Laramie on the North Platte we did not see a building, The entire country was occupied by Pawnee and Sioux Indians and at all times we had to guard our horses closely. At one place we were detained for an entire day. while a herd con taining thousands and thousands of buffalo crossed our path, rrom fort Laramie we proceeded to Fort Hall, then a trading post located on what now tbe rort nan inoian reservation not far from Pocatello. Tbe trail then lay along the south side of the Snake river. Following this trail for about 40 miles without food or water for our stock, we finally reached a point where the bank was low enough for us to descend and give the famished animals drink. The sound of tbe water rushing over Shoeshone falls some distance be low could be plainly heard, "Here occurred our first tragedy, There was no feed for the stock on tbe south side of the river, but wild grass waa growing luxuriantly on the op posite side. My brother, C. W. Moore, snd another boy were instructed to drive the animals across the river. In carrying out their task they reached deep water. My brother managed to get across, but his companion was caught in the whirlpool and drowned Mv brother was left alone on the op oosite side of the river with about 300 head of stock. It would have been ira possible for him alone to have herded them together "and have driven them back across tbe stresm. One of the older men of the party gathered a cumber of pieeea of drift wood and fashioned a rude skiff, thus crossing tbe river to help bim. "I shsll never forget that tragedy. The mother of the dead lad was lying in a wagon at our side of the stream nursing a week old infant boy. A search was made for the body of tbe victim, but we could not find it, and yet it waa necessary for us to push on. We learned later that a train follow ing oura about three days saw the re mains of the poor boy lodged on rocks, at Salmon falls. At Salmon falls we found another party that had preceded us. They were very much excited over the mur der of one of their men by the Indisna, as they thought, ihey asked us to assist in a aearcb for the guilty per son. In the pursuit it was soon found the tracks of but a single man were in the wet sand. The shoes had nails in tbe soles of them, and it waa decided that the murderer must have been a white man. A man, who bad formerly been a member of the train we Ihad overtaken but had left early on the morning following the tragedy, waa shortly .overtaken. Found guilty, the man wss sentenced to oe snot. A cap was placed over his bead, and men, some armed with loaded rifles and others with guns containing blanks. were ordered to execute bim. When tbe prisoner waa ordered to stand up be did so, but began to run. Then turning, he cried, '1 will not die run ning.' He fell as he uttered tbe cry. The bodies of the murderer and bis victim were placed in the same grave. 1 might add that tbe murderer was given a fair trial by jury. we reached 1 he Dalles during the last days of October. We had run out of flour three days before our arrival, my father bavins used up much of our supply in feeding our oxen on huge slices of bread with chunks of salt pork in between. The food was given as a remedy for some kind of poisoning that had attacked the animals wbile they were crossing the plains. Before we arrived at Tbe Dalles my mother walked three miles ahead of the train to secure some of the precious food material. Before returning she had baked some buttermilk breed, and it was well, for my youngest brother, tormented by tbe pangs of hunger, was crying for food when she arrived again in camp. "The snows had already closed the trail to the Willamette valley to the south of Mount Hood. Wo left all of our stock at Tbe Dalles to be wintered. Because of tbe severe weather every last one of them perished. A portage railroad, the cars drawn by mules. w.s in operation at tbe cas cades. The road, 1 think, was built snd operated by Putnam and Daniel Bradford, who with Capt. Ainsworth ami others built and operated the first steamboats on the Upper Columbia. " The Moore family crossed to Oregon City, where they remsined for a short time, tha father later filing on a dona tion land claim seven miles from Sa lem. The wedding of Mr. aDd Mrs. MeGuire occurred in 1853. Rev. Boone, a pioneer Methodist minister, whose home was on Boone Island at Salem, officiated," says Mrs, MeGuire. "The Oregon legislature was in session in a nine nouse next aoor, and at Rev. Boone's request, all of the legislators were invited in to wit ness the ceremony. 1 have a book telling of tbe pioneer history of the Methodist church and giving biographical sketches of many of the pioneer ministers. When I grow lonesome 1 take the book and read it over, nearly all of the men at one time or another preached at the little log cabin home of my father." Mr. and Mrs. Mcuuire resided first st Oregon City, where Mr. MeGuire, a miller by profession, could follow his trade. Because of his poor health they took up a donation claim three miles east of Amity. For 25 years they lived there, developing their fertile tract. Then renting the farm to their oldest son, they went to McMinnville to take up the botel business. rs. Mcuuire is known tar ana wiue for her hospitality as a hostessand for her famous cooking. The hotel at Mc Minnville became the center of social life there, and many were the balls, the banquets and the dinners that were given. Mrs. MeGuire, wbile she spends the summers at her home here, goes each winter either to California or tbe Willamette valley. During every sea son spent at the latter point she is fre quently encountering some old time friend of tbe days when she keptftne hotel. Last winter with her daughter, Mrs. Laura Baldwin, who lives with her mother. Mrs. MeGuire was spend ing the winter in Salem. They spent one day at tne nooie of Hon. wiinam Galloway. "The taste of those delicious wild blackberry pies and other Igood things you used to cook, Mrs. Mcuuire, will never cease from my memory," de clared Mr. Galloway during the day of the visit. On a lot adjoining the home place of his mother here H. C. MeGuire several years ago built a home. He has aince moved to Portland. While the family of W. B. Mc Guire, another of my sons, still lives here," says Mrs. MeGuire, "I miss my other boy and bis son, Leslie, whose antica and songs on the lot next door always held an interest for me. He used to come ana sing for me. tie was known while here, you know, as the mehtiniale of Hood River. to Mr. and Mrs. MeGuire were born 11 children, all of whom survive with the exception of Mrs. Frances Ward, who passed away in 1902 in California, The other children are: Walter B, MeGuire and Mrs. Laura Baldwin, of Hood River: Huner C.

"who has done more work than I have done. I believe, when we crossed the continent, that 1 with other young members of .the party, walked at least two tbirda of the die tance. The oxen were too slow for us and we would congregate and walk ahead of the main party. Yet I feel that I am happier, atronger and sturdi er for the experience. Now, after crossing tbe four score mark, tbe one thing that worries me most is that I cannot find enough work todo." Rubber Stamp Ink at this office. FRAUD ALLEGED IN COMPLAINT JUDGE STANTON IS A DEFENDANT Judge Derby Proceeds Against Associated Fruit Growers to Protect Mi nority Stockholders Operating under the provisions ef tha Blue Sky law on behalf of minority stockholders District Attorney Derby Saturday afternoon filed a complaint tbe circuit court asking that a re ceiver be appointed for tbe Associated rruit urowers. a corporation, accord- ng to the allegations, fraudulently formed in the fall of 1914 :bv County Judge Stanton and R. F. Marquis for the alleged purpose of defrauding in nocent purchaneis of stock. Judge btanton and wife. Laura E. Stanton, and Mr. Marquis and wife, Kate. Marquis, as directors of tbe company, and Ralph J. Jarvis, are in cluded as defendants. A decree of foreclosure of a purchase price mort gage for $5,500 against a 10 acre tract was granted Mr. Jarvis last week by Judge Bradshaw holding a session of circuit court here. The complaint asks that Mr. Jarvis, who now has posses sion of the property and who is adver tising for its sale, be required to give an accounting of tbe 1916 apple crop. It is further alleged that he has come into possession of farming tools and implements which were not includedin the mortgage held by him. According to the recitals of tbe com plaint the defendants. Judge Stanton and Mr. Marqus and their wives, con ceived the idea of forming the corpora tion on October at), 1914. The capital stock was placed at 70.000 ; 7,000 shares of $10 each. Mr. Marquis, as secretary.opened books for subscription of stock, and shares were subscribed as follows: Judge Stanton and Mr. Mar quis a total of 4,640; Mrs. Stanton, one share and Mrs. Marquis one share. The four then elected themselves directors. choosing officers as follows: Judge Stanton, pres. ; Mrs. Stanton.vice pres. ; Mr. Marquis, sec.-treas. During the month of November, 1914, according to tbe allegations, Judge Stanton and Mr. Marquis caused to be conveyed te the corporation three par cels of land ownd by them and their wives, receiving in payment the fully paid up 4,640 shares of capital stock. n addition to the tract, against which the Jarvis mortgage was outstanding, Judge and Mrs. Stanton transferred a sceond 10 acres, against which C A. Merriam and wife, of Eugene, held a mortgage for $6,100. The holders of this mortgage have already field fore closure proceedings. Mr. and Mrs. Marquis transferred a 30 acre tract, against which a mortgage for $4,000 in favor of the American-Scandinavian Bank, of Astoria, waa outstanding. An anticipation of foreclosure proceedings in the case of the last mortgage is ex pressed in the complaint. According to the complaint the total value of the real estate transferred by tbe incorporators and officers of the Associated Fruit Growers did not ex ceed $20,000 at the time of the trans fer. The complaint further alleges that the ownership of a single share of stock each by Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Marquis was colorable only for tbe furtherance of the fraudulent enterprise, and the court is asked to decree the husbands in fact as owners of the two shares of stock. The court is asked to enjoin Judge Stanton and Mr. Marquis from a fur ther disposal of or placing of incum brances on tbe stock unsold. For the protection of the minority stockholders, to whom, according to an exhibit at tached to the complaint, 1,047 shares have been sold, the court is asked to require that Defendants Stanton and Marquis be required to pay to tbe cor poration thedifference between the ac tual cash value of the real estate, less incumberanceB, and par value of the stock. If it is found that this cannot be done or does not seem equitable to the court, it is asked that all unsold stock be cancelled and returned to the court and that a judgment be entered against Judge btanton ana Mr. Marquis for the difference between the actual value of the land less incumbrances and tbe par value of stock disposed of. It is stated in the complaint that Mr. Marquis has removed from the jurisdic tion of the court and that despite the fact .that he has been notified of the financial embarrassment of the corpor ation, he pays no heed to such commun ications. Mr. Marquis' residence at the present time is said to be Bismark, N. D. It ia stated in the complaint that the corporation has no lunds or credit with which to purchase supplies for tne har vest of apples and that a receiver be empowered to take charge of these matters for the interest of minority stockholders. Circuit Judge Bradshaw here from The Dalles Monday especially to bear the case, appointed E. N. Benson, a West Side orcbardist, receiver for the Associated Fruit Urowers. Geo. K. Wilbur, attorney for Mr.Jarvis, agreed to this prayer and stated to the court that the crop would be severed from tbe land and kept segreaggted. County Judge Stanton was present. He denied the allegation of the com plaint to the effect that the Associated Fruit Growers would not hsve been able to harvest their crop. We would have been able to have nnanced the harvest of the crop had it not been foi recent newspaper reports telling of the probability of appoint ment of a receiver," be declared. Car Shortage Affects Box Deliveries The csr shortage is affecting the har vest of Hood River apples, in that it is impossible to secure delivery of suffi cient boxes on many orchard places to care for the crop. "We need 4,000 boxes at the Max welton orchards on the East Side." says E. N. Benson, msnager of tbe place, "and I know of numerous other ranchers who are not able to get their orders on containers." The Apple Growers Associstion states that sufficient boxes have been ordered but that tbe car shortsge mskes it diffi cult to get them delivered here on time. Growers, too, have underestimated their crops, and the 1916 apple crop will probably reach tbe million box mark. Several weeks ago the tonnage was placed at 900,000 boxes.
