The Sumpter Miner tell the follow
ing interesting story of well known
pioneer newspaper man of Eastern
oregon who has had much to do with
opening To settlement the wilderness
OF the west The Miner says:
\ man who piloted pack train
from the Columbia river to Boise Ba-
sin. when the west was young; who
camped on the sites OF the present
prosperous towns of Pendleton and
Baker City before single house was
built at the former place. and long
before il was even vaguely imagined
that the lone ranch which then mark
ed the site of Baker City would bios
som into the commercial metropolis
OF Eastern Oregon-this man has
been in Sumpter for three days. and
departed this afternoon for his home
in Arlington. ore.
His name is James NJ Johns, and
he is the parent of Hon. Charles \.
Johns. mayor-elect of Baker City. and
of Cato ]. Johns. who may be the next
mayor OF Sumpter.
The elder Johns was one OF the
builders OF the northwest. an honored
Oregon pioneer. He was born 20
years ago in ohio. removed in 1858 to
Indiana. and the following year joined
the exodus to Kansas, which was then
a terra incognito.
In 1885 ne moved to jackson cOun-
" Mo. where he married Miss Eliz-
abeth Anna Darby. a Kentucky girl.

helpmate. accompanying him on his
visit to Sumpter. In 1857 the eldest
son. Charles. was born in Missouri,
and the year following the family
started for the great oregon country.
via the isthmus of Panama, arriving
in Marion county in lS5S. the year
prior to the admission OF Oregon to
statehood
From Marion county the Johns
moved to Linn, and in later years to
Gillian. It was in 1868 that the elder
Johns. after shipping a quantity Of
provisions and food from Portland TO
The Dalles by water. started with a
train Of 40 pack animals for the mines
IN Boise Basin. He did not follow the
beaten track of pack trains. prefering
the Umatilla river route. and over the
Blue mountains. While making the
trip ne camped where Pendleton now
stands. but which at that time was an
uninhabited solitude. except for CO.
votes and wandering Indians.
After crossing the mountains he
camped one night on the present site
of Baker City. which was then lone
ranch although Auburn. six miles up
in the hills was a camp Of over 1000
souls
Mr.. Johns is editor and proprietor
Of the Arlington Record and OF the

Klickitat county. One of his daugh-
ters. Mrs. John Neal, who is pioneer
OF Harney and Grant counties. was
