the Wild Life in the Willamette Val
-
ley in the Earliest Days of
' -White' Settlement; ""
I have said Ja a former paper, that
large game like, elk an.l jeer were very
.scarce on the plain lands of the Willa-
. . inette vailey as the home-builders who
crossed the plains from Missouri began,
to settle here. W'ith the exception of
Jesse Looney and Kichard Kakia tnd
v;ery few others nardly settled, thiy val-
' ley " ef Mill Creek w the southern
tounds of the settlement on the east
si le of the valley, in 181.". There were
a few Jeer in, the timber, belts yet te-
, - mainiug, but they were much outoiit
bercd by "the large! wolves, bears a i 1
panther, which, -failing to gt enmigh
. . wild game, had become so -lctrict"e
on hiirren, cattle and hog? in as
to make the call for a meeting to or
ganize for their' destruction bring a
'. greater gathering of settlers' tfcau-a call
to organize a government had brought
' Jast-prior to the rail for the wolf
meeting in 1S41, the M. K. missionaries
under Rev.. Jason Lee's snperintenu
rnee begat to move their neaJquarters
to Chemcketa plain, now Salem. They
hat brought with the last and rtrotig-
j cut f reinforcement of missionaries i
- fifty three of all ages machinery for
miUs, both grist and sawmills and from
the best I learned in 1S43 they built 1e
, ,V first of each on, what we now call North
Mill creek, it was really the creek out
let; that south pf Mill street Wing an
outlet for a, few small streams and the
outflow of sloughts . without uefinei
channels much beyond-1 tn passenger
.. depot. The timber- belt nearest the
mills was along the river bank "west of
Commercial street and thin wan the first

the first contest too- place between -a
mm anljs, panther that I heard of.
.The man was Henrv Wood the same
who as one of the partners in building
in, nrst Oregon snip, ine-iar or ure
iron, Was sent to Dr. McLonghliu to 'get
what 'was needed to finish the ship.
The good doctor up to that time hki
been the autocrat of Oregon. Wood
had come here with Ewing Young while
making. the first cattle drive fom Cal
foraia in 1837; ani was now joined
' . ....;
with Captain Gale and ot iters in build-
'injf a ship of thirty tms-ri take to Cal
ifornia and traJe for livestock, and I
fancy he was hauling logs to the Mis
iNsion mill with the Mission team to get
"J Itlmbcr on "shares to nw in. the phip

to Oregon City, wuere the ship was iih

ed, Ho do I know, Mr. Wood, that you

' ; Ah, this was the second mistakeh-.
MeLonghlin made with the, Amen':ni
man. 'The first was his treatment 'of
lowing Young on the strength of lct-

There, was no mistake this time. Wood
was a tough man. Toe reply ni le
' th doctor reads well enough to become
a missionary or, what-was bettor at this
time, a patriotic American. Ho is re

who formed the Pugct Sound Agrieul

his crew who got into the -Willamette
in October, 183.
The civil government had been ini
tiated at the wolf meeting which met
a the' residence.. of Joseph Gervisoa
Ms.reh 9, 1813, and adjourned to Cham
poeg May 2 and where a civil govern
ment was initiate by i vote of 52 for
against 50 opposed. The . best evi
dence we have that tjje men thus in
itiating government" were in .sympathy
with Joseph Gale's enterprise fur
nished by his name being placed first
while he was on the way witii the cat
tle and other stock, owners that put
an end to livestock monopoly in Ore
gon. '
This of course created the necessity
of more attention to the destruction of
carnivoxouj animals, the increasing
wants of increasing immigration how
ever took public attention away fro.n
wolves and bears and panthers and
each settler killed for himself.-, Capt.
H. V, Morrison, wltom. I assisted from
Missouri, got only one of three , choice
horses to his Oregon hme. It. was a
noble jaiAte and he jepordied the safe
ty of bis oldest daughter, by-having it
and its newly cast colt watched, but
during the night the Colt was devour-':

in vain. The Well-.jaiwed. bullet waa
the only way of killing these most de
ptructiv enemies of. domestic. ; stock
until .18.47, when Mr. Thomas Cox
brought a lot of strychnine to Salem.
, It was but a year after the Cox fam
ily settled in -the edge of the Hantiam
valley. till the hair raising hcwlsof the
bauds of big wolves ceased. - -
My personal experience with wolits
No, that myth meant no more than
tliat the det ruction of the wolf-nour
rhei I Roman settlement try increasing-
the food supply of the family, and the
Roman hnuter that could kill tue fat
Wolf and pursuade his best girl to
ano'nt his door posts with ffie grease,
wouM have a sheep skin for her tw sit
on -on his hearth, and mutton for her
food, and, it 'would make little JifTer
enee if siie was a Sabine girl, jiret . as
t was in IS 10 in Oregon. ,
? The coyote, or smsll wolf, were also
plentiful in Oregon and the writer -became
somewhat skillful in killing ihm
long Iwfore the big wolves were silent
as they 'took' poison readily, while the
coyote, cunning as a fox, more so, in
fact,' got so cute that In- would never
take a second, mess out. of a lariTb or
sheep. ,! , '.'- .
The lynx and wtd cat wer some
times very dcstruAive on 4ambs. and
Small pigs where h ieir .irinking place
was in bush cover.' '"Some thirty -five
years ago" when the small wolf refused
to take poifwri; Joseph Waldo, then my
Beighljor, "set out to find hounds." ! He
did not ask th quality, of the hound
only if nis owner was yred of him. II
sM)n collected xdcvfp dogs and station
ed them out in our neighborhood. . ;W
took our bot saddle horses 'and Horns
and guns and killed two coyotes the
first' day and eight within the week,
and had lots of fun besides.' ;
This- papef -is 'long, enough. I will
take the "flying game next, including
hawks and eagles. '.'"'
(1) 'i I wish to say here no illusion' I
make to Dr." John- McGloogb!in. in vthid

anything but high respect to hint. lie
was, and had. been, more than twenty
years, chiefly responsible for peace and
good order in Oregon. lie was. as has
been recently well , said by. Mr. Fred
Hoi man at-the Lewis and Clark fair,
human, as well as humane. Wood was
a man of desparate courage, but of
reckless life, and there were otoers ia

power of sale than is conferred by the

.any section conferring a general power
to sell lands belonging to the state.
Each section so?ms to refer to specific
lands, except the one section which
says 'lands received by grant from the

?' Therefore. T am of ths opinion that
the state land board has no authority
(to sell and disiwse of lands devised to

an act of the. legislature directly au
thorizing it. and no other officer of the

time he is making a tour of the valley
looking after his trade, and during this
trip he has made a close study of the
condition of the cities and towns visited
with a view to their neatness and the
improvements made since hequithe
road several years -ago, since which
time he has not, until this occasion,
seen any of those places. He stated
yesterday that the improvements noted
by him in Eugene and Albany were of
a -character that spoke volumes for the
pride of the people of the two cities
and he congratulated Albany on the
civic improvements of the last few
years. The many new cement walks,
the cleanliness and the general tidying
up of the city were so evident that- he
could not help speaking of the matter.
This improvement he noted in both the
business and residence districts.
'All of-the valley towns should, clean
up-and sbouhl vie with each other to
present -'the best appearance possible,
he -said, as only in this way, with all
portions of the state making a good
appearance, 'can the best impression bo
made on tourists and friendly, rivalry
between the different cities would help
the matter of improvement along ma
terially and would redound to the bene
fit of all concerned..-iHerald. -

for' supremacy on the ..local, iield
yesterday afternoon. Tae result was
victory for the Salem lads by score
of 9 to Ol ' All the '-points wer 'made
in the first haJA of the game, and Oray,
the speedy quarterback- was. directly
responsible for them. The first four
came on a well executed pl.-tce kick,
which was iriaie doubly Jiflicot by the
conditions of" the lall, field, andweatn
er, and also the angle from which the
goal was made. ' Howtye'r, the oyal
sailed squarely between the posts with
plenty of space to ipare.
The other five poiBts were., the re
sult of a.twenty;five yard run by the
same player. The most creditable part
of tuis performance ' was not the rir
itself, so much as the way in. which,- f(( f) A OJ, ,1((WMW. ,,,r,,v ))iW

lu the weeond half honors were more
even, although 'it is true that the play
ing was almost all in Corvallis ter
ritory, and if the game fad leeii bng
er Willamette might have scred again.
Gray is certainly a tari anl he
might "aptly be called "TiieFckerl
of Willamette Uniyers'ty." Besides
the feats already enumerated he fdiow
ed his ability to punt, and a second at
tempt at a field goal just Wforc the
close of the half might have been suc
cessful had it not been blocked. . Gray
did not kick goal on his touchdown
but this was excusable.
Ford was another star for Willamette
and he got away for a thirty-yard run
the longest of the "day. Lounsborry
went in in the second half, - for" the
first time this season on the local" fieli.
except for a few moments in the Pulr-man-Willamettc
game. His defense
was particularly noticeable.
Other" good players for the Willam
ette team were Hewitt, McCully, dpdd
and Simpson. Sanders was good ion
the offense'lmt ' he failed to back ; up
McCullyi on the defensive. Jorstad
made the longest kickoff of the season
by a Salem team.
Darby was the ptar for CorvallUi,'

also distingulshe hiiiiBelf, as did Rose
Lyttle. and McKinnon, first team sub

and fullback missed the train at Cor

On a whole, the game was interest
ing to the handful of fpeetators who
brayed the weather. The lack of-fumbling
under such con lit ions, was remark
able. The playing was necessarilv
slow, but little rag-chewing was in
dulged in. Willamette's backs showed
a tendency to hit the line too high.
Corvallis was weak in the kicking de
partment. Rader. of Willamette, gave satisfac
