ids, the goods and wagons were load
ed onto large fiat boats which had
come up from the settlements where
Portland now is. 1t was smoother
sailing on the lower river, and in a
short time the immigrant train had
reached its destination.
The following spring, i'll 1913, the
ship jeanette reached port from the
Sandwich islands, bringing provisions
and supplies for the Oregon settle
ment, and the first news OF the gold
excitement in the Sacramento valley.
Immediately on receipt of thi, news,
times in Oregon began to liven up,
says Mrs. Warren. Immigrants began
arriving from the East in large mum
bers, and many Of them leaving at
once for the gold diggings in C@litor-
MIA.
One of the thrilling incidents Of hen
trip across the plains as related by
Mrs. Warren, occurred on the banks
of the Snake river in Idaho. Mrs.
Warren and few of her giIl friends
we're riding in advance of the emf
grant train, and coming in sight of
some ripe wild currants on the bank
of the river, they tied their ponies
and clambered down steep bluff to
the waters edge. After filling their
aprons with the fresh fruit, and when

CROSSED PLAINS
TO OREGON, l847

Mrs. A. G. Warren of Moser is one
of the earliest pioneers in the state.
Mrs. Warren is the mother Of Mrs.
Alexander Stewart, wife of the lead
ing merchant of the town. She left
her Lome in the T. asst and crossed the
plains to Oregon in lS41 Tie trip
across the continent was net made
then as nov in comfortable Pullman
coach in there days, but required
months of time and hard long jour
ney with an OK team. The dangers of
Indian warfare added their hazard to
the trip.
Mrs. Warren left st. Joe, Mo-, the
starting point and Quitting place for
the thousands of early emigrants, on
the 10th day of May, reaching Linn
ton, few miles below the mouth of
the Willamette river on November II,
l847. Portland was all unknown vii
Iage in those days. The party had
heard nothing of the town until their
arrival at Linnton, where there were
advised thot Portland would be the
best place for them to locate.
They took the advice, and continu-

MOSIER HOME IS
finest IN TOWN

The handsomest residence in the
t, Wn OF Nosier is the property of j.
N. Mosicr, a Eon Of j. II. Mosier,
from whom the little city takes its
name. Mr.. Mosier is a native of the
place, and is now lj years Of age.
Mr.. Mosier has fCreseen the posi-
bilities in store for the town and val
ley of Mosier and last summer made
the first Plat of the town site of which
he was the original owner. Streets
have been surveyed and the building
boom which the little city enjoyed
last fall and winter has given the town
a real city-like appearance.
Nearly all the plated portion of the
town site has been sold at good prices,

JOHN WELLBERG'S CAFE
II. NJ. ABBOTT HAS
fine FRUIT FARM

II. M. Abbott, of the Hood River
Real Estate and Exchange Co., is
owner Of 40 acres of fine fruit land at
Mosier. Mr. Abbott purchased the
tract from portion of the original
Dan Sturges homestead, situated one
and quarter miles from the town of
Mosier, southeast and adjacent to the
new wagon road, which gives an eight
per cent grade from town.
Twenty acres of the property is
cleared, and ten acres are in bearing
fruit trees; one acre in grapes; three
acres in prunes and pears, aud the
balance in apples, peaches and pears.
An abundance of water is supplied
from three large springs. Mr.. Abbott
is planning the construction of large
reservoir this fall, when he will have
plenty Of free water for all irrigation
purposes.
The soil of Mr.. Abbott's farm is Of
volcanic ash, substance especially
well adapted to the culture of fruit,
particularly cherries, apples and
peaches. This has been an off fruit
year, yet notwithstanding this, Mr..
Abbott has shipped 500 cases OF prunes
which netted him over 40 cents a
crate; 100 cases of peach plums, and
will have Is cases of peaches, which
are selling now for over 81 crate.
In addition to this he will have about
five tons of grapes and large quantities
of pears and apples. The apples are,
however not marketable this year, as
the orchards were not sprayed sufti-
ciently early in the season to destroy
the Goblin moth.
There is four acre potato pat III
on the place which was planted the
10th day of Junt. The potatoes have
not been touched by water, but indi-
cations are that there will be a large
yield, Notwithstanding the past sea
son has been the dryest in 20 years.
Cultivation rather than irrigation
is what the Moiser lands require. In
this manner the soil retains sufficient
moisture, which is readily brought to
the surface by stirring the ground
with spring tooth harrow.

prunes this summer, for which he re-
allied Az cents case. The crop
was light this year, but the prico very
good.

tie land.
The climate is all that can be desiI-
ed. Protected by the mountains from
the hot and cold blasts that some
times sweep over the plains of eastern
Oregon, sudden changes OF tempera-
ture are unknown. The winters are
pleasant, there being many more clear
days, with absence of rain, than are
found on the coast, while the summers
arc delightful the thermometer rarely
reaching 100 degrees the summer,
or to zero in the winter.
Cherries are known to do remark
abely we'll in the Mosier valley. II.
M. Abbott of Hood River states that
this year SO trees on the Ginger ranch
yielded over tons of cherries, which
sold for from to 7 cents a pound,
returning the grower the neat sum Of
$500.

T>HE MOsier Valley is situated in
tho eastern slope of the Cascade
EESs mountains, y miles east Of
Portland, and is reached by the Co
lumbia river or the Oregon Railroad
aud Navigation Co. being Oh the main
lile of railroad. 1t extends from the
river south about 90 miles, varying in
width from two TO eight miles. Its
western boundary is the range of
mountains that separate it from the
II ed River valley, rising at an eleya-
ton OF 1900 10 1000 feet. Its eust-
ern limits are in The foothills cf the
mountains that gradually decrease to
the eastward.
1t is among the valleys that border
Mosior and Rock creeks, and along
the south bank of The Columbia river
where are located the wonderfully fer
tile lands, now being cleared of the
virgin forests and set out TO fruit.
Here are grown to perfection the
Clrk's seeding strawberry, grapes,
lIGnes, cherries, and small fruits,

orchards are becoming more profita-
BILE each year.
Peaches attain size and flavor in
the Mosier valley that are surpassed
by no other locality and equalled by
few.
The Spitzenburg, Yellow Nevtown
Baldwin Jonathan, and all the high
est priced apples are here grown to
perfection. Protected by the noun
tan ranges from severe changes in
temperature a failure Of crop is un-
known. The acreage in apples is be-
ing rapidly increased and while the
number OF acres of bearing orchards
are not large yet in few years the
Mosier apple crop will be the princi-
pal source of wealth of the valley.
The large tracts of standing timber
in the valley afford material for
number of sawmills, furnishing the
finest lumber for building purposes,
fruit boxes, etc, while the sale of the
logs pay back to the farmer large
proportion of the expense of clearing

ing on up the Willamette river dis
ance of seven miles from Linnton,
hey came to Portland, which then
,onsisted of a store and two dwelling
houses. Frank Pettigrove kept the
store. Here they remained until the
fall of 1851, when Mrs. Warren's hus-
band located on donation land claim
in Yamhill county, near the town of
McMinnville.
Mrs. Warren cal tell many interest
ing tales Of her pelilous trip across
the continent. The hardest part Of
the whole trip sic says vas the jour
ney from The Dailes to Portland. The
party was without provisions, and
after arriving al the Cascades, lived
for a week on half hogs jowl and
some baked beans. There was no salt

izing good money this year in their
summer fruit. Five carload ship
ments Of prunes brought in over 81,
900. Two additional cars went out
in express shipm ents, and about the
same number Of peach pIums. The
carload shipments we're marketed in
tho Mississippi valley cities and other
Eastern points.
MOser farmers realize quite sum
each year from the sale Of cord wood,
about 1000 cords being the output
from this station. The wood market
is dull just at present, buyers offering
$3. 25 per cord for 4-foOt wood. Many
Of the owners of good wood are hold
ing for a higher figure. There is an
opinion that cordwood will range much
higher in price later in the fall.

CONDUCTS GENERAL
MERCHANDISE STORE

Alexander Stewart, the leading mer-
chant of the town of Mosier, went
there nine years ago, when he pur-
chased the merchandising establish
ment conducted by Il. A. Powers.
Mr. Stewart is a successful business
man in every sense of the word, and
is popular in the community in which
he lives. His store would be credit
to towns many times the size of Mo-
sier. Therein can be found anything
from drugs to hardware. He carries

and Mr. Mosier is planning alrea ly to
place another addition on the market.
Mr.. Mosier's residence is an impos-
ing structure of Pleasing architectural
le.ign, and the Furnishings within
ire complete aud comfortable. To

The early strawberry land is located
along the river, and Mosier straw ber-
1ios are among the earliest to be mar
ke.ed from this section of the coun-
try. This means very high prices and
consequently large profits to the
grower.

He would carry these in stock if the
Mosier valley produced grain instead
of fruits.
Mrs Stewart is postmistress of Mo
sier, and is giving eminent satistGC-
tion to the patrons of the Office. SLo
succeeded her husband to this posi-
tion, after he had served one tenn.
A postofice was first established at
Mosier shortly after the completion
of the O. X. d N. railroad in the Caily
SOS. A. }. Lynch was the first pc t.
master. He was succeeded by j. ii.
Mosier, senior. The Office remained
in the Mosier family until 1899. hen
Mr.. Stewart was appointed to the q.
sition.
The merchandising establishment
conducted by Mr.. Stewart was oreued
at Mosier number of years ago by
the Holmes Mercantile Co, which firm
sold out to r. A. Powers, who in 1896,
disposed of his stock to Mr.. Stewart.
Mr.. Stewart was formerly railIUad
man. He owns besides the large II cr-
camille establishment 100 acres of land
one and half miles from the town.
There is plenty of irrigating water On
this ranch, making it one of the vulu-
able farm properties in the valley.

prunes this summer, for which he re.
allied 4719 cents a case. The crop
