! journey to the Boise River Basin
where we located our land claim on a
creek four miles above Horse Shoe
Bend, where we arrived on the last
day of April, 1868.
Friends, time will not permit me to
go into detail as to our venture in
gardening. Let it suffive to say that
we succeeded in opening up farm. I
made the survey for an irrigation
ditch using triangle. This was be-
fore any surveyors instrument had
been brought into the country. We
raised the first year a garden consist
ing of all the ordinary vegetables, in
Guiding onions, turnips carrots, cab
bage, corn and potatoes, all OF which
were in demand at what prices today
would beexorbitant prices, the fact be-
ing that we had a monopoly of the
market. / sold the first onions they
being the first green vegetable on the
Placeyille market, for 81 90 per dozen.
Green corn sold for $500 per dozen
ears. I arrived on Buena Vista Bar
one Sunday morning in August, 1868,
with load of watermelons. Two emf
grant wagons from Missouri had made
their way to Moore's Creek and camp
ed on the Bar They had been living
In tents but two gallant young men
who we're miners and had cabin
nearby, permitted the families in
which there were two young girls to
move into their cabins and they in
turn occupied the tents. I had halted
my animals in the vicinity and num-
Der Of people had gathered around,
and these girls got after these young
men to buy them melon and one of
them said, Why certainly" and he
ran out and reckoning to me said,
Hey, Cap, bring us melon. ! Sc
lected good sized melon. The girls
being from Missouri were not going to
be fooled on green melons. BY the
time I got into the house with the
melon, the girls had the knives and
plates ready, and the melon was all
right, and in fact we had splendid
quality Of melon. The young man
asked how much it was and I said
,wenty-fi cents per pound. 1t weigh
I'D thirty-two pounds making the price
$500. The girls eyes poped out. They
;hought such melon would be worth
EN- cents in Missouri and possible fiji
cen cents out here, and to pay $500
or watermelon was parA1yzing. This
vas the first truck gardening ever
