supplied with fresh mutton whenever
wanted, though the great abundance of
games at that time, buffalo and antelope
being very numerous, made this not a
matter of necessity.
Tho captains experience in crossing
the continent was not always accepted
by the impatient members of the cara
van, and they thought sheep travelled
too slowly and pushed on ahead, some
times leaving notices written on boards,
one of which is remembered:
.'watt and his sheep going to pasture:
Watt says. sheep, can't you go little faster.' >
Our historian, then girl of IL, rode
the two thousand miles, helping to keep
the woody travellers in line. It was
easily done, and the whole journey at
that date is remembered but as pleas
ant picnic trip, only for the dreadful
longing for more sleep. With the very
early starts, seldom stopping at noon,
one can think of the fatigue and the
need of great big sleep that the grow
ing girl must have felt, and which is
not forgotten IN NEARLY half century.
No enemies to sheep were found ex-
cept in the ferryless, bridgeless streams.
On Green river thirty were left on an
island. Their wool weighted down with
the ice-cold water, they could swim no
more. The band crossed the Cascade
mountains, reaching Oregon City Sep
tember oath, and the final resting place
three days later. An odd thing was
that while the drivers were thoroughly
willing to rest in this g-looked- for
resting place, the sheep seemed to think
it their bounden duty to keep moving,
and the duty of the young shepherd
girls was by no means over.

Concerning some Early Immigrants.

To a state in which wool interests
have been, in the good days that are
past, of such tremendous financial i'm
portance, the record of the coming of
the first wool-bearers must be matter
of historical interest. FROM one, of
whom it may be said, ga part of this
she was, and all of this she saw" we
have been permitted to gather some in
cidents of this early migration.
In the first days of March, 1913, a
band of four hundred and forty sheep
was collected in Sullivan county, Mis-
souri,, by Mr.. Joseph Watt, and took up
the line of march for the crossing of the
Missouri at st. Joe. Mr.. Watt was
native of Ohio, and had already crossed
the plains to Oregon; had spent about
two and a half years here; had selected
a claim in Yamhill county, erected
buildings and made preparation for
bringing hither his fathers family and
others who might cast in their lot with
them. The start westward was made
thus early, the travelling abilities of
sheep not having been fully tested, and
Mr.. Watts intention being to travel
very slowly.
Missouri at that time was good state
TO emigrate from-no railroad, very little
internal improvement, wretched roads,
the settler on its rich soil invariably
poisoned with malaria. It was not
honesick, heartsick company that
crossed the Missouri that March morn
ing and pulled up it's banks of mud in
the snow and slush of the springs
'tbreaking up" Had they been dis
posed to be homesick, the golden sue
cess of Mr.. Watts work in Oregon would
have gone far to dispel it. He had
clean bank book to begin with, and
made his first strike in the erection of
the first -four mill at Oregon City. For
this he received $40 per day, and he
stook part of his pay in clocks. How
these clocks were brought to this coast,
our historian does not know. One of
them was sold to VIM. Burnett of Yam
hill county and is now owned by his son,
Hon. George II. Burnett of Salem.
They were certainly of American manu-
facture, and probably came in on one OF
the trading vessels, possibly those that
brought some of the early Methodist
missionaries. Mr.. Watt travelled with
these clocks and found ready sale, tax
lng his pay in wheat. The price of this
sstaple was at that time very low, but
the successful operation of the Touring
mill ran the price up most satisfactorily
to the wheat growers. The result of
this labor and traffic, amounting to four
thousand dollars in gold, was carried
back to Missouri by Mr.. Watt in a leath-
er belt around his body, the chafng
and weight of which was most patiently
and cheerfully borne.
To return to our mutton. The start
ing of the grasses enabled the line to get
in motion, Mr.. Watt being chosen cap
tain of the company. The sheep proved
admirable travellers, far better than
cattle; the pasturage was excellent /;
they kept in good marketable condition !;
the tables of the mpany were kept
