THE O00TIMER RECALLS Recollections from 50 Years Ago By Lafe Redafe These here youngsters With their speedy auto-mobiles --- hot-bars they calls them, I reckon--sure are a danger to life and limb. I rcc'lect, back fifty years ago, they wuz a lady-wheeler, name of Lizzie Glow, who established a speed record the safe and sane way. On a race track. Rode 27€ miles in one houx, back in Toledo, Ohio. Thet wuz fast going, them days. Even the men had a hard time beating that. Them wuz the days when the gold fever had taken the country. Everyone had it. They wuz streams of rip-rarin' young men high-tailin' it fer the Klondyke. Them gold-hunters wuz causing a lot of headackes fer the auth- orities, too. The Canadians wuz stopping trains and puttin' off all the gold-sick fellers who did2ft have supplies fer a year, or money to git 'era. The Canadians also wuz causing a lot of belly-ackin' about their tarriff charges and duties and cet- era. Some of the gold hunters in Victoria wuz about to declare war when t4ey deescovercd the/d have to pay tax on any goods com- ing from the Puget Sound bound fez' the Klondyke, Even The Journal declared war over that, I rec'lect. They wuz one good thing about the gold rush, though. It shore made jobs plentiful, and reely made good-times come back with a rush. That's a pun, son. I rec'lect that Henry Thompson, Frank Wandel .and Will Getty went to Seattle fer jobs in the ma- chine shops there, and they wuz a lot more jobs waitin' around the Sound because men had took off fer Alaska. Wages went up, too. Employ- ers wuz forced to raise pay to keep their men and get new ones. Some credited the general pros- perity to the election of McKin- ly. Others said'it wuz just that crops wuz good. They wuz as many politicians claiming credit fer prosperity as they wuz grapes at Grapeview. Even the loggers wuz leavin' the country fer Alaska. Joe Duraad pulled out of his operations at Lit- tle Skookum, bound fer the North- land. They wuz even city mayors lear- in' fer better pickins. Mayor Shorter tendered his resignation to go North, and Seattle's mayor Wood organized a transportation company which required 'him to give up his city job. Not evezwone wuz so her up about the gold rush, though. I rec'lect Henry Parish ignm'cd the Northland to take his moter back to Wisconsin to live. That wuz the week John D. Riley left fer Colorado to live, and Arthur Necdham left fer a vay- cation at Dyea. He claimed he poohed til"et idee. The weather wuz warn] as Luci- fer's mule thee summer. The boys even worked up a sweat over their checker gnme at the store. Noth- ill but rain beads the brow this year. Times has shore changed. I ree'lect the oysters wuz the comin' thing around here them days. Hunter & Eaton, the town's leading mercantilists, started a company with Ralph Harris over ou the bay opposite Skookum Point. They'd cleaned out a fiat !place and diked it to keep the wa- ter in. i I rec'lect R. S. Graham, who 'wuz a former superintendent at the Skokomish reservation, quit the Indian bizness to go into the mattress-bizness in Seattle with a couple of other Shelton men. Names of C. M. Brooks and Dec.tot Bailey. They had the ShipI;ing n-en a-laying at their feet, on their mattresses of course, beggin' fer more of the same to put in the ships being outfitted to take rush- Heating and Plumbing Supplies 650 Dearborn Ave. ers to the goldfields. Tom Frazer came into town from a trip to Nova. Scotia that summer, and ree-ported thee the East wuz wild fer gold. He also mentioned iheL the Shelton boys, who had took oft" fer the bz'ight adventure the week before WUZ still keepin' bright in Seattle, waitin' fer ships. Of the local men, only Chas. and John Kin_nv. Joe Crockford and Jack Morgan wuz fortunate enuff to git passages out right away. Use the Journal %Vane Ads-- they really get results.
