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-

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.
