OF WHEATLY RIVER, IN ALASKA AND THE

The following article from s Okanogan, Wash, Paper will be of interest to many relatives and friends here as Mr- E. J. Dorian, 0f Happy Hill, Okanosln. Wash, re- ferred to. is s brother of Miss Mary Dorian, Wheatly River and a. son of the late Mr. Alexis Der-ion of the same place. Mr. Dorian went away when a young man and he always corresponded with his fam- ily but never mmg home to make c visit. He married happily and took up land at Happy Hill where he is busily engaged in farming and if spared till Nov 11th, will ceiebrate his 80th birthday. Al- though a railway now goes through the country Mr. Dorian , has to drive by car l2 miles to church through s well populated district.

One of the most interesting ‘ sketches of pioneer days that the i Independent has been able to i gather is the appended contribu- tion of E. J - Dorian of Happy Hill- His experiences date back I earlier than the time of any others who have so far been the subject of these articles.

In 1880 Mr. Dorian was a member of an exploring expedition in the northwest territories with Wm. Ogilviile, who was afterward gov- emor of Alaskan. He spent some- time in the wilds of Alaska.

"When Dr. Frederick Cook came back and said he had scaled Mt. McKinley, I put him down as one oi the biggest Jovialists that ever lived. because I knew that better men had tried and failed," Mr. Dorian said while discussing his Alaskan experiences. “I was one of s party that tried for three months to get to the top of Mt. McKinley. We came to one place over four miles long that was on n hog-back of solid ice A dense fog enveloped us and we had to go over the ice hand over hand. We finally came to a place where it was straight up and down, es high, as we could see, just an impregnable bluff.

There was no other approach to the peak that offered any better‘ chalice of sucessful climbing. '

Mr. Dorian calls himself an Aca- dian, hailing from that province of , pastoral simplicity frequently de- scribed by poets. He was born at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land, on November 11, 1857. His early schooling was at St- Dun- ‘ stews school on the Island. |

His early adult years were spent j as a sailor of the seas. and in his. twenties his love for adventure, led him to join one oi the earliest expforing expeditions to the north- - land, where he took part in the marking of the boundary of Alaska that caused a noted infemational‘ ruction-

In 1888 Mr. Dorian acted s-s a special deputy sheriff under Sheriff Jib Ide of Colville, Stevens county, for the territory that be- came Okanogan county.

0n April l4, 1890, Mr. Dorian was married ‘at Yakima to Minervia Jane Chambers. Mr. and Mrs.

Dorian have three children. Jeremiah J.. Edgar. James and Lillian .vf.

"I have taken great interest in all of those pioneer articles, “Let's Say It While We're All Alive.‘ They have awakened my dormant mlnd to memories of many incid- ents of those happy days gone by, and I assure you there is a warm spot in my heart for the old pion eers.

"But yet I have failed to see one word concerning those sturdy, brave fearless old pioneers of the days prior to 1886. Therefore, with apologies to Historian Brown oi’ Okanogiin, I will try to jot down as collected from memoryk pages. the actual conditions as I found them on the Columbia Indian re- servation, now kncwri as the Okaiiogan country, on August 38. 1884, when I first set foot in Wash- ington Territory st. Osoyoos lske at the ‘Okanogsn Smith ranch, where I rested for several weeks after a four-year exploring expedition in the land of the Midnight Sun. > "I was so imprssed with the c11- l mate, the fruit, berries, grapes, corn ; i and also the wonderful alfalfa, the . 1 first I had eyer seen, that I prom- . l lsed Mr Smith I would return to the Okanogan valley the next? spring, which I did and have er-i malned ever since. g “There were no wagon roads; , stage routes or rural routes and not l even a. postolfice between Ellcns- j burg and Kruger, B. 0., and we [had to go into British Coloumblai i0 buy past-age stamps to mail our . letters. We also received our mail there. Along about 1686 or 1887, we began to sec the United States postage stamps, and we established a saddle horse route between Osoyoos and Colville, paying 25 cent for every letter we sent and 50 cents for every letter we receiv-

WRITING OF THE LIFE,

AND ACTIVITIES OF E. J. DORIAN, A NATIVE.

WHO SPENT A LIFETIME GREAT WEST.

"Our supplies were mostly brought in on pack horses from El- lensburg or Sprague. I have as- sisted when we had from 50 to ‘l5 horses in thg pack train. The first time I crossed the Columbia river in this country was at what after- wards became known as Wild Goose’ Bill's ferry. "The ferry boat consisie’ of five big logs fastened together with log chains, grass and rawhide ropes, and was propelled by man power. We had to thmw

"I once swam the Columbia river in company with two half breeds and an Indian by holding on to our horses

you, I don't care to try it again,

‘The beef cattle were driven sometimes to Ellensburg, sometimes to Sprague. Ilhave assisted in trips to both places. The largest drive I ever assisted in was to Sprague in the fall of 1885. There were 5000 head in the bunch, and we had a grand and glorious time swimming those wild, mad, long-horns across the Columbia river. We lost two Indians and a canoe, when the Indians attempted t0 break a cst- tle mill in the river. One of our boys had his saddde horse gored to death and he would have met the same fate bad it not been for the quick action of our 45 Colts,

“The country between the Colum- bia river and Spokane was-mostly open. This was sure a cattle and horse heaven in those days, notan , inch of barb wire fence and very] little of any kind of fence between . the Klttitas valley and British Col- umbia and the cattle roamed the hills and valleys at will.

“The figure ll brand covering 9000 head. owned by Phelps and Wadleigh of Oregon and managed by Willis Thorp of Ellensburg.

3000 head were the two largest herds at that time. There were a's0 ‘Okanogan Smith, John Mc- Donald, Bob Clayton, Alex Mc- Cauley, Dan Drlscoll, George W. Bonnes. O. I. Hart, F- Wallace, Henry Wellington and C. B. Bash in the Okanogan river volley, and Al ‘Thorpe and John Beall in Tests COT-ill, who~had anywhere from 300 to 1000 head each-

“I often sigh wlth regret that I can never live those happy cowbo, days over again, but alas, there came a change, for on the 1st day

of May, 1886, President Grover Cleveland proclaimed the Colum- bia Indian reservation open to

mining and homestead entry and the miners and homesteaderscame in by thehundred. The watering places were taken up and that soon put an end to the cattle busi- ness on a large scale.

"Prior to 1885 there was but one white women in this country be- tween the Klttltas, valley and Brit- ish Columbia. She was Mrs. Wil- liam Gralnger of Osoyoos- She had lived for eleven years as the only white woman in this country. Her oldest son, Harry Gralngcr, was 9 years old and was known as the first white child born 1n the Oka- I nogsn~ country Mrs. Grainger- died in Yakima. three years ego. She was my wife's first cousin.

"During 1885 there were four more while womgn who came to the Okanogan valley, with their husband -Bllly Yockel, wife and child, who were drowned in the Bimikameen two years afterwards; Robert Bottomley wife and three children who came all the way from California on a dead-ax wagon, taking two years to make the journey; Old Ran Drlscoll, who

W."Y. P. U. Rally Day At Elmsdale

_._r—ri

‘the first annual rally of the W. Y. P. U. was held in the United Church, e, Thursday, Sept. 30. The Rally opened with a dc- votional service led by Bideford Y. P. U. The following hymns were : "rum: in Thy Name O Lord I, Go," "Never Further than Thy Oroes," "lord ac to Thy Dear Cmss we Ilse." The scripture lesson, 8t. Luke 19: 1-10 was read by Miss Ina Mueller/in, prayer was offered by Misc Mae Miller. Two ttcrs, one from Zacchacus to Johann-u at Magdsle. and the other the reply of Johnnan were read by Misc Verna Miller.

Tho President Don Campbell,

presided over the business naeeting. The, following committees were sp- poiutsd: Nominations: Mrs. Claude Hayes. Mrs. M. D. MncLeod. Don Campbell, Henry Clank, Miss Jenn Williams. l Resolutions: Miss Beth Clark, l Miss Dorothy MacKehdi-irir, Mrs. M. D. MacLeod. Rev. Mr. Elliott, Rev. Mr. Chm-man, Rev. Mr. Cough, Mrs. R. H. Found.

Press: Mrs. R. H. libund and Henry Clark.

A discussion followed on Local Union Pmb ems and some very im- portant problems, were c such as “Attendant.- at meetings."

The afternoon dcvoaional period was led by Alberton Y. P. U. The

Matthews and prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Charman. .

Rev. Mr. Young lead the Con- ference in a very interesting discus- sion under the subject, "Trends in Canadian Citizenship." I-Is review- ed the history of England from the Feudal System, when transporta- tion wss poor and there was a great scarcity of food stuffs, to the In- dustrial Revolution, when the ma- chine nge made remarkable chang- es which brought about the two party system. Every country then began seeking new colonies as u. source of raw material. Through the struggles in that new parlia- ment the franchise was tended. However, the upper. class were al- ways in the controlling power and the labouring class remained unre- presented in the Parliament. The struggle for supremacy and mar- kers about this time finally brought nations into conflict. It was Mr. Young's opinion that to avoid‘ de- pression we must have purchasing power enough to buy back what we produce. He discuss ’ the faults in this system of monopoly, the sett- ing of prices by larger companies. The new labour party in Britain faces the liberal and conservative parties, which has driven the lib- erals and conservatives into an na- tional government against the far-

miufs squaw. ls tlie~following in- cident will prove.

“At a potlstch 1n those pioneer days a. newcomer squawman, after imbibing too much firewater, tried to create the impression that he was a. bad man and finding that no one paid any attention to him, made some slighting remark about the squcw of another squawman. He was promptly challenged to a duel at 300 yards with Winchester rifles.

“Old Billy Gralnger was chosen referee, and at a half wsy mark between the combatants, out of range of the firing lines, he was to sit on his horse and drop a red handkerchief as a signal for the shooting to begin, whilst the cow‘- boys and Indians sat on their horses ready to act as undertaker and mourners. After five shots had been exchanged the would-be bad man dropped like a nine-pin and the duel was at an end.

"When the cowboys gathered around 1t was found that he had only been stunned. The bullet had only touched between his ear and head. had knocked off his hat end taken quite s wisp of hair with it, and there was blood enough around his ear to prove him the loser in the gsmc- Hepiomptly apologized and the potlctch went merrily on. "All the csttelmen whose names I have mentioned in the forepert of this article have gone across the great divide long ago. There were a few more white man in the country who were engaged mostly

There are changes due, and Young Peqple will have to face them, else we may find we are facing a mild form of Fascism.

Under Dr. Godfrey's leadership the Young People directed their thoughts to subjects concernlns the activities for the coming year, and the problems with which Young People's Unions have to contend. D1‘. Godfrey said, “The purpose o! W"? Yvllns People's Union is that the members of your union may be revitalized." He adlvsed that each convenor thoroughly acquaint themselves with the responaibflitigg connected with their offices. He ‘recommended the books entitled,

Worship Committee in Action" by Dr. Norman Richardson, and "Youth at Worship." People taking part 1n worsli p services should be notified well in advance. There is all 11186110? of making a new world and s rededlcation will help to fit us for It.
