New York, Nov 26.-It is probable

will accept an invitation extended by

Some objection is made to the &C.

ground that the New England and

are not concerned in it.
1t has also been urged by some Ian

ONCE DALLAS BLACKSMITH
Discoverer of Gold in California
Spent Winter of 1914 in
Polk County.

During the past week Salem was
honored by visit from the old Polk
county pioneer, Smith Gillian, the
first sheriff of that county, says the
Salem Statesman. Gillian came to
Oregon with his parents in 1874, being
then 10 years of age. The family
settled on the present site of Dallas in
the Spring of 1S45, when there were
but few settlers anywhere west of the
Willamette river and south of Yam
I hill In fact Gilliam's mother was
I the first white woman to locate
permanently south Of the Rickreall,
on the west side.
| A fact not generally known to Ore
gonians is that james Marshall, dis
coverer of gold at Suffers Mill, in
California, in 1S4s, crossed the plains
to Oregon in 1914 and spent the winter
in an improvised camp near where
Dallas now stands. In his train were
the Gilliams, John Mimic, the Shaws
and many others Of the famous immi-
grafton of that year.
Marshall was a carriage maker by
trade, and during the winter of 1874
worked at several small jobs in his
line for the settlers in Polk county.
Cornelius Gillian, the father of Smith,
went to the Methodist mission below
Salem and bought the irons necessary
to make plow, such as was known
in those days as the wooden mould
board" STYLE He then secured Mar
shall to make a beam and other
wooden appurtenances which went in
to the construction of that we'll
remembered type of agricultural i'm
plement.
AS a workshop Marshall used a
large oak tree which stood near Gill
liam's house, and, cutting a notch in
it's side, used it to hold the beam while
he fashioned it into the proper shape
Forty years afterward this tree still
oIOOIl, duu JuOu3u uuC AOGCn SuG Wy
Marshall in the winter of "A was
overgrown, Gillian kept the tree in
mind until, during one of his visits to
Dallas few years ago, he noticed
that the tree had fallen a victim to the
demands Of latter-day progress. He
greatly regrets that he did not pur-
chase it and present that part contain
ing the notch to the Oregon Historical
society.
This tree is we'll remembered by
Hon. w. H. Holmes, of Salem, who,
while yet boy, in common with his
chums, used to admire the tree which
the famous discoverer of gold once
used as a carriage shop. Marshall
only remained in Oregon during that
winter. In company with three or
four friends he lived in a small cabin
near the Rickreall, and in the spring
the party went to California.
