Among the hardy pioneers who helped to found the state of Oregon, Umatilla County has a goodly share. Yesterday T. Beale, who has resided at Pilot Rock for the past 24 years, visited this office and related a few pioneer experiences which enter into the very foundation of civil government in this state.
Mr. Beale came to Oregon with the great immigration of 1850, from Southwest Missouri. He was one of a company in which there were 200 wagons and when the company reached old Fort Boise it started due west through the Harney and Malheur Deserts, directly toward the headwaters of the Willamette River.
They struck the Cascade Range at Diamond Peak, and cut a road down the west slope of the mountains to the present site of Corvallis (possibly s/b Eugene or Oakridge). There had been no wagons over the route through Central Oregon at that time. The brush and timber were so thick on the cascades that their progress was very slow down the little creek that formed the headwaters of the Willamette River
They knew they were near the Willamette Valley when they came in to sight of the Three Sisters in the cascade Range, for they had been told in a letter from Oregon the year before, that the three peaks were sure landmarks that stood over the beautiful valley on the west side of the range.
They sighted these peaks while many days travel out in the barren Southern Oregon desert and it gave them renewed courage in the hard task of climbing the mountain on the east side and in cutting a road down the west side.
Where the company started down the west side of the range, they were compelled to let the wagons down with ropes, so steep were the cliffs they were six months from Bates county Missouri to Oregon City. arriving at the latter place on November 1, 1852
Mr. Beale remembers Dr. John McLaughlin, the Hudson Bay pioneer of this state, and when the old Britisher saw the 200 wagons in Mr. Beale’s party, drive down the beautiful valley and begin to make camp at the old town of Oregon City, he stormed out in terrible rage, and asked the company what they were doing in British Territory. Pointing eastward, he said to them: “There is your American Territory, east of the Rockies, Oregon is ours and reaches to the summit of the Rockies, and we will hold it, go back to your own country!”
Mr. Beale’s party answered that they had come to Oregon to stay and that they would wade through blood up to their necks to hold the country for the United States.
Mr. Beal was born in Virginia on the James River in 1816, and had helped settle four frontiers in his life of 88 years. When a young man he came from Virginia to Kentucky and took part in the early settlements of that state. then he moved to Illinois and later to Missouri, and remembers seeing St. Louis for the first time in 1837, when it was no larger than Pendleton and not half so well built from an architectural point of view, most of the building being small wooden structures.
