SATURDAY ANNIVER-
SARY, SMITH ARRIVAL

valley. 1T will be just 81 years next
Saturday," said Mr. Smith yesterday
morning. ''since my wife and ! and six
little girls disembarked from the

procured from John Chipman. A home
had been built there from lumber

"There were orchards on the place,
and south of the house was a big peach
orchard with few cherry trees among
the peaches. The peaches then, in a
limited way, created as much interest
as do the apples today. The old sand

tend their shipments. Since there were
no railroads to other parts of the coun-

market for the fruit.

The Dalles-Sandy wagon road was com

statement. since nearly all the employees in
that trade are women or aliens.
ut is. however. always to be remem-
bered that this white raven among the
trades has achieved peace with prosperity
under its protocol only after twenty-siX
consecutive years OF strikes. every one of
