Told by the Pioneers tic gyrations. in this manner the appallin~ monster held high carnival until about 10 0 'clock, when with a mighty crash the Howard street. bridge over the Spokane river went down. A boom of logs took fire and shimmered for hours on the crystal surface of the river, and many times flying pillars of fire crossed the river, igniting the mammoth lumber and flouring mills that line its banks; but by heroic efforts its career was checked on the south side of the stream. But looking back, the beholder witnessed a scene of desolation that was fearful to contemplate. Fragmentary portions of the naked walls of what were four hours before magnificent structures of brick and granite stood like grim sentinels above the surface of a burning sea, and all was desolation and ruin. The burned district embraces thirty blocks besides the depots. The only brick business houses left standing are the CresC'ent block and the Amercian theater. SUBSTITUTES If n
Told by the Pioneers had our bedding in a trunk and that's the way we started ouLCottonwood blocks were our chairs, and father split them and put pegs in the bottom for legs. ,Ve brought a little stove so we had something to cook on. There was no money and nothing to sell that first year. When our supplies were gone we ground a little corn that we had dried and made flour. ,Ve ran out of matches and father put some powder in an old flintlock gun, then put in a rag and fired. This set the rag afire, then he ran like a madman and grabbed the rag and blew on it to make a blaze which he dropped onto the kindling. MRS. MARTHA JEANETTE MALONEY Lewis County My husband had joined the army at the age of fourteen, sen'iug as a drummer boy and later as a regular soldier. He had fought in the Civil war. After we were married we used to ride the Kansas plains and shoot buffalo. I was as good a shot as my husband, and could bring down the game as deftly and easily as he, while riding my horse at breakneck speed. We used the hair, or manes, of the buffalo to make beds and mattresses, instead of straw or feathers. We brought some of them ,Vest when 'we came and still have some of them. MR. CRAIG Klickitat County . ,'Then we came into the Priest Rapids Valley, in 1893, our nearest neighbor was at Juniper Springs, 18 miles distant. Once in three months we made the trip to Yakima where we received our mail and made necessary purchases. If we ran out of provisions we made the best of it. Barley was ground and used as a substitute for coffee. "Sweetening" was made from the centers of watermelons, crushed and strained and added to the juice from boiled corn cobs. Pumpkins were sliced in rings and dried. Our first shelter was a little cabin made of stove wood, laid in ricks with layers of alkali clay between the layers of wood. The roof was made of shakes. As soon as possible we built a one-room cabin of logs. Later another room was added and a fire-place was built. For the roof, poles were laid close together and covered with weeds, then alkali clay was plastered over the weeds to make a roof resembling tile when it had hardened. Plaster was made from pieces of the white bluff across the river. 116
