himself attacked by pulmonary
troubles and decided to get out into
the open in an effort to build up
his physique. 1t was about this time
that the surveying of the Idaho
boundary came up, and with r. j.
.Reaves, now residing in eastern
Washington, he tackled the job as
being one that would keep him out
of doors and give him all of the
roughing it he needed.
One of the problems which that
survey faced was the necessity Of
determining where the north and
south line of the Washington-Idaho
border began. According to the de-
confluence of the Snake and Clear
water rivers. just where the conflu-
ence of two large rivers was located
was some problem to the two sur
veyors. The change in location a
few feet was bound to make consid-
cradle difference in territory be-
tween there and the Canadian border
and for that reason several days
were put in working on the problem
1t was finally decided to anchor
barrels in the streams and where
the currents of the two rivers merged
was to be determined on as the
point of confluence.
1t was during the days of this sur
vey that one of the regular Indian
scares of that district was noised
abroad and some of the points OF
the survey are said to have been
done at least hurriedly. Down around
the Snake river canyon, near where
Lewiston now stands, was a wonder
full country for an Indian surprise
rocks and coulees, long, deep draws
and sage brush made excellent
places for Indians to hide, and who
can blame the surveyors if they
thought they saw hostile skins be

boundary, which established whether
voter resides in the bailiwick of
the aggressive Borah or suave Poin-
dexter, was staked out by one Ezra L..
Smith, who until recently was one
of the leading citizens of the push
ing city of Hood River, but is now
gone on to where there are no boun-
daries and apples are not advertised.
Born back in Vermont in 1897, Mr..
Smith started west at an early age,
arriving in Illinois when he was 20
and marrying there three years
later. During the fall campaign OF
1860 he was one of the leading
speakers in the presidential cam
paign on the side of Lincoln. Fol-
lowing the success of his party he
decided to go out to the Pacific
coast to grow up with the western
country, he and his bride arriving at
San Francisco in 1861.
Once in California he went into
politics again and was a member OF
the California legislature in 1865,
following which he was appointed
secretary of the territory of Wash
ington. While in Olympia he was at
times acting governor and member
of the legislative council in 1874
With g. A. Barnes and William
Avery he started Olympia's first
banking institution and in other
ways helped build up that city's in
dustries.

his nervous energy, Smith found

full zeal to collect surveyors scalps.
At that the survey was undoubt-
eddy done much better than a gov.
eminent survey in Oregon, of which
the story is told that the surveyor
got him a steady mule whose pace he
measured until he determined how
many steps the mule took to the mule,
after which he loaded the mule up
with corner stones and started her
off with the compass resting on the
saddle horn. When the mule had
walked the proper number of steps
the surveyor would heave over one
of the boulders, swing Jenny around
90 degrees and start for the next
corner of the section.
There are many stories Of that
kind told of the early surveys in this
section, probably by settlers who
were disappointed in finding that
some neighbor owned land-accord
ing to the survey-which they had
coveted for themselves.
Following the completion of the
survey, Mr.. Smith settled in the
Hood River valley and there he
stayed until the time of his death
with the exception of three years
he lived at The Dalles as registrar
of the land Office. Independent In
politics, he was one of the strong
men in the Oregon commonwealth
which he used his tireless energy to
develop He was often spoken Of
as likely candidate for governor
but his independence was altogether
too much for the machine politicians
to carry and he escaped to devote
his efforts to other fields. He was
the instigator of the Hood River
apple development which he drove
through to it's well-known success
