took fright at or near E. A. Franz
place. In making the turn Of the road
at this place all three were thrown out

gainst the flume at j. H. Filsinger's
place. Langille received an ugly scalp
wound while the others escaped unhurt.
The team ran on down the road until
they came to the Indian creek bridge.
Here the eihorses crowded to one side and
straddled the. railing. The wagon
stopped when it struck the railing, while
one horse went down into the gulch and
the other crossed the bridge. The wagon
was wrecked but the horses were not
injured.

HOOD RIVER so YEARS AGO

Continued from lth page)
he had been walking gave. way, letting
him fall through, and to his intense
astonishment he found himself astride
of one Of his long lost ponies. The sur
prised cayuse promptly bucked him off,
and on regaining his feet he found that
all his horses were there, fat and saucy.
They had been at the bottom OF the
hill when the SHOWS came, and after
the crust froze, the horses had worked
up the mountain side, paving away
the snow under the crust, which rolled
down the hill. This left the crust
hard and intact, which protected them
from the cold and storms; in fact, so
mild and pleasant was the climate in
these dug-out places, which were acres
in extent, that the new grass had
grown so luxuriently that the horses
had been living on it entirely for over
a month.
Roberts was a great weather prophet
and firmly believed in the Zodiacal
signs, as well as the moon, stating as a
positive rule that chinook wind al
ways came with the full of the moon.
Some one called to mind the fact that
in the winter of '62 there was not
breath of west wind during the full
month of January. Roberts scratched
bis head and to purpose. Why"
he said, "that was the result of a very
peculiar phenomet on which occursOnce
in every 900 years when there is no
full moon for a month. January, 1862,
was the anniversary of that event"
July Of this year, 1861, Hood River
held its first celebration. The spot
chosen was in the large oak grove in
front of Professor Thompson's resi-
dence, east Of the school building.
Hood River was then, as it always has
been, intensely patriotic and loyal to
the Union, and in those days political
feeling ran high. 1t was deemed nee
essary that we should have an emblem
of the Union TO fly TO the breeze My
father was commissioned to see about
getting a Gag So trip to The Dalles
was made aud material purchased,
costing $40, and sewed together on
very wonderful piece of mechanism
a sewing machine, one Of the first on
the coast. The work of sewing the
stripes together and binding the same,
cost $40 more without putting on the
stars, which was done by the ladies Of
our neighborhOod The flag was a
beauty then, and is still 50. The eolUrs
are as bright as the day they floated

out on the breeze nearly AZ years ago.
Thirty-two persons all told participated
in the celebration.
The day came near ending in a trag-
edy. A certain young man, whom |
will not name, was unwise enough to
drink a cold-water toast to the South
ern COnfederacy. A stone thrown into
a hornets nest would aptly illustrate
the situation in that little gathering.
In an instant, it is needless to say, that
young man realized what he had done
and none too soon, and was only too
glad to take off his hat before Old
Glory and swear allegiance to the
Union. The trees still bear the marks
of where the bower was built, and
where our flag pole was raised. The
flag is now in the hands Of the Oregon
Historical Society in Portland.
In August of this year, 1861, d. A.
Turner and William 0dell came to the
valley. Mr.. Turner bought out the
Stadden place of William Moss, who
bought IL of Stadden, and 0del the
Butler farm. Also, the same fall, La
born Stetwell took up what was after
wards known as the Lily place, south
of Joe Purser's, and a man named Joe
Wilkins took the place now known as
the Crapper ranch.
SEVERE WINTER OF 1861.
This brings our record down to the
fall of '6l, and the beginning of the
hardest winter since the settlement Of
Hood River, and in fact the Indians
said it was the worst they had ever seen.
But the old men had tradition that
told of a winter in which so much snow
fell that it did not melt off during the
ensuing summer, making il contin-
uous winter for over year, and that all
the stock died off, and most of the In
dians. On November l9 snow began
to fall, and at no time after that date
was the ground entirely clear until after
April l2, 1862. On that date, read
from the record, "snow chiefly gone, ex-
cept in spots" Up to that date we bad
experienced no severe weather, though
one winter large quantity OF snow fell
but it did not last long. We we're well
prepared both ourselves and our stock
for any ordinary winter, but a winter
lasting from November 10 to April Is,
left all former records so far behind that
they we're not worthy of mention. The
mercury went down on January l6 to
"A degrees below zero, and the average
mean temperature for the month was
only 1045 degrees above zero. The
greatest depth OF snow was feet inch
on the level. The river closed January
l, and the first boat came up March 4.
On February 10, our provisions having
given out, l took an Indian and hand
sled and went to The Dalles to replenish
our stock of food. The trip was a dan
gerous one, as the ice was breaking up.
/ broke in once, but saved the load on
the sled.
Ny story would be incomplete with
out a special reference to that hardy
old pioneer, Dawes Divers. Either in
the fall Of '61 or '62, he located up Hood
river on the place now known as the
Divers farm. His family consisted of
his wife ard three sons. One by one
the boys left him and q few years ago
the faithful wife and mother passed
through the valley of shadows. Unable
longer to care for his many acres, he
disposed Of his farm, and buying 8
small place be is awaiting alone the f.
nal summons.

This years order called for 800 loco

Nearly all of this new equipment has
been received, and the company is now
far better equipped with motive power
and cars than at any other period in its
history.
The officials have been working for
several weeks on the order for 1904 II
was expected that some decision would
be reached b. November !. but none has
been made. One of the officials said
yesterday:
Our order for locomotives and other
equipment will be greatly cut down

when we placed the heaviest orders for

would resort TO such a bold stroke is
not for one TO say. but the tone Of the
agreement the Fact Of its having been
carried on contrary to Korean custom,
the omission in it's text that either party
had been appointed by their respective
governments 20 make the agreement,
the indefinite time for which Il was
made Qeaying Russia free to withdraw
all her influence at any momenD, and
the general air Of uncertainty and vul-
garity which pervaded this most seri-
Gus document, has given strong grounds
for the belief that IL was the product Of
q politicians brain rather than a solemn
agreement on the part Of the Russian
government And the withdrawal Of the
Russian charge 6'affaires from Seoul
upon the termination OF the agreement
IN March. 1898. has strengthened this be-
lief Russia is not wont 20 repudiate
the results of her policies unless they
are executed with poor judgment. And
the Russo Korean agreement was GER
tainly well executed.
New Steps Suggested.
The preconceived idea. popularity en-
tertained. that Russia was on the point
OF clipping bodily with Korea. was
strengthened when. soon afte- the sign
ing OF the agreement, the "Novoye
Vremya" Of st. Petersburg began to
suggest additional steps by which Rus
sia might establish herself In the Ko-
rean peninsGls-that is, by locating Rus
sian consuls at Korean ports. by send
ing sufficient military forces to insure
the safety Of Russian legations and con-
sulates. by organizing banks. by estab-
fishing Russian schools and a Greek
church, by connecting the Manchurian
railway with Seoul and Fusan. That
these plans were more than on paper
the near future proved. On December
g. 1897 a RussO-KOrean bank was or
ganized by an imperial decree. The OBJ
jects Of this institution were, as outlined
IN a demand made to the Korean gov
eminent BY the Russian representative,
TO issue notes IN values OF dollars or
pounds sterling, TO coin money, to re-
ceive the government revenues, TO pay
