Recalls old Fit. Nisqually
In Observing 03d Birthday
Prairie Near Tacoma
Once Covered With
Foot of Grass

Only q few are now alive who
have personal recollections OF the
original Fort Nisqually and DR..
w. F. Tolmie. manager of the
Hudson's Bay company interests
on Puget Sound. One Of them Ii
Adam Benston. born In 1916 near
Fort Nisqually on what IL now \
part Of the Fort Lewis military
reservation He celebrated his
Esd birthday Sunday, Nov. 20. at
the old home near spanaway.
Sharing the occasion with him was
Mrs. Bentson. 81. TO whom he was
married 66 years ago. Also en-
joying the birthday party was q
great niece. Jean Plewak. daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael PIE
wax, 5000 So. c st., whose fifth
birthday was Saturday.
In the mind Of Adam Ben
ston h stored many memories
Of pioneer days. His father
was Q native Of Scotland and
. trader for the Hudson's Bay
company. He was transferred
from Vancouver to NisquaIiy
In 1ssl and was among those
present when Capt. Charles
wilkes, U. 3. n, staged 1t
NisquaIly the first Fourth Of
July celebration west Of the
Rocky mountains.
Among other things this mono
genarian plus recalls that once
upon . time the gravel prairies
were covered with lush grass q
foot or more high on which the
Hudson's Bay company cattle and
sheep were pastured. II was the
sheep which killed the rich pas
ture.
Acquaintance Of the Benston's
included Mr.. and Mrs. Omar II.
White, parents of d. H. White,

calls how Dave, as youngster.
laid the foundation for an engi-
neering career by measuring the
wheat fields of the Nisqually
farmers 10 establish basis for
the per-acre charge which the
Higgins boys made for cutting the
crop.
In his day Adam Benston
WINS one Of the foremost fid-
dlers Of the Puget Sound
country and still draws n
lively how. He was director
Of . small group Of instru-
mcntalists which furnished
music for the pioneer social
gatherings. One great occa-
sion was the dance held In the
cook house Of the Hanson q
Ackcrson company tTacoma
MIN company when the busi-
ness was first established
They fiddlcd all night.
"reminiscences Of this old pioneer
include the thrills that went with
driving a good horse. He believes
those horse-and-buggy days were
pretty good--comparable to the
days when modern conveniences
began to ease the burdens Of the
pioneer families. He recalls that
on one occasion when Mrs. Ben
ston had a toothache he drove
from the spanaway lake home to
the office OF a dentist In Tacoma
in IS minutes.
''You can't do much better than
that with an automobile-at least
/ can't" said he.
Just as the original Benston
home became a part of the Fort
Lewis reservation. the army 10
now reaching out toward the pres
emit home.
There were IL children in the
Benston family. four of whom are
living.

Duffy explained. STANDARD camps
are to be supplemented by two
mobile or portable 200-family units
which will move into short season
concentrations of workers beyond
reach Of the standard camps.
THE migratory labor camp pro-
gram il designed to help stabilize
present haphazard migrations Of
seasonal worker families, provide
decent living and housing facilities,
and help a limited number Of the
dispossessed and drouth-stricken
farm families to re-establish them
selves on the land.
while the camp viii be able to
provide sanitary living conditions
for only a small part Of the worker
families coming to the Puyallup
valley area for seasonal agricul-
tural labor, it will help remedy
serious health, sanitary and social
problems involved in the present
scattered roadside concentrations
of seasonal workers housed in tents
and makeshift shacks.
Seasonal Demands
Employment records of the
farm placement service indicate
that for the period from June to
Sept. /, from 10000 to $4,000 peo-
pie are employed in the Puyallup,
Sumner and Auburn areas within
reach of the farm family labor
camp, in the harvest OF peas, let
tuce, beans, cherries. berries and
other truck crops. Heavy sea-
sonal demands for labor begin with
about 5000 in the middle of May
and taper off to about $500 in the
middle of September. Surveys in
dictate that less than half of the
labor required Is local or exchange
labor, the remainder being drawn
largely from Tacoma, Seattle and
other parts of the state including
some out-of-state residents.
Housing facilities, as tentative
ly planned" said Duffy, will in
clude $50 16 by 20 foot seasonal
family shelters of wood construc-
ton; 40 concrete tent platforms
with tents available, and "a % by
~ foot labor homes with two bed
rooms, combination kitchen and
living room, laundry tub, shower
unit, stove. inside toilet, electric
lights and a small garden plot.
Seasonal shelters will rent for 10
cents q day. tent platforms seven
cents day and labor homes for
IS per month. Rentals on seasonal
shelters and tent platforms revert
to a camp fund to be used by the
camp committee in welfare, recrea-
ton and community activities"
Self-Governed Camp
Central buildings and utilities at
the camp will include a utility
building with hot water, shower.
laundry and toilet facilities; an as
sembly hall for meetings, kinder
garten, church services and dances;
first aid for child clinic, isolation
ward. complete pressure water and
modern sewage disposal system.
electric lights playground equip
ment, irrigation for labor home
gardens, sidewalks, landscaping,
gatehouss and several miscel-
laneous buildings.
While the camp viii be In
charge Of a manager employed by
FSA, routine activities of the camp
will be self-governed by a camp
committee elected by the resi-
dents" Duffy said.

ConciGotory Speeches
Distrusted in Reich

BERLIN, June 9 (P.-Germany
"dlstrusts'' the conciliatory speeches
made yesterday by Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary
Vlscount Halifax as "a diplomatic
maneuver connected with the hard
shedding apparent in British nego-
tlatlons with Russia" it was said
today in official quarters.
There were no indications at the
foreign office that Germany would
treat the parliamentary statement
by Lord Halifax as an invitation to
talk business on colonial and eco
nomic matters.
An official said the Nazi govern
ment considers the great attention
paid to the two speeches in London
as an effort to bring pressure on
Moscow"
I'VE do not regard Halifax's
speech as an Offer" he said. There
was nothing specific. Let him come
with chapter and page-for ex-
ample, let him say, We will give
back the colonies-and then start
ing point for negotiation might be
found"
