EARLY cHITTIM PEELERs.
Pat Kelsay was one of Them--A Per-
tinent Incident.

Just now the commercial world
is dofhng its hat to the chittim
peeler. There was a time not SO
very many years ago, when Benton
county people didn't know that
chittim bark had a market value.
It was not until about 1890 or 1891
that it began to be known here
that chittim bark could be sold.
This information was gained by
publication in the local papers that
a certain painter who worked for a
time about Corvallis, had built a
scow and with two or three Cor
wallis boys. one of whom was Pat
Kelsay. had gone down the river
for the purpose of gathering the
bark. They peeled bark on the
river bank all the way from Cor
wallis to Oregon City, and the re-
suit of their voyage was several
tons of the product which in some
manner, found its way back to
Corvallis and for two or three sea-
sons was stored in the feed stable
on Third street. Pat used to say
that they had a good deal of fun
on that trip. They went to work
wherever they found a convenient
tree. and often before they had
cleaned out the location, the land
owner would put in an appearance
and they would probably be COM
pelled to settle with him somehow.
A favorite play the boys always
made was to assure the owner that
a better crop would be grown the
next season by reason of the old
bark being removed. This device
worked sometimes, Pat said, and
sometimes it didn't Occasionally
they had to put up hard cash to
avoid a charge OF trespass being
filed against them. At that time
the product was termed bearberry
bark. and then, as now, the scien-
tifc and other high toned people
called it cascara segrada.
This may be good time and
place to relate a pertinent incident
which occurred in a Corvallis bar
Der shop three years ago, in the
chittim season. The circumstance
was amusing then and may be now.
but some of the language INDUCED
in was more. expressive than chaste-
Two men from the chittim district
met in Spencer's shaving parlors.
They greeted each other with back
woods cordiality. and Bill said to
Jim, what in thunder you doin'
out here?"
"Oh, I brought out few hams

5elIers to chaw ON. Wha'd you

"A load of physic, by Godp' was

The speakers were SO much in
earnest in their conversation that
he listeners deemed it imprudent
o even snicker, ano sought refuge
