ROBERTSON: Do you remember the appearance of the valley when they had the wood powered boats? Was it logged out at the upper end? Where were they getting the wood?</div>

WEAVER: Well, you’re a little ahead of me on the steamboats. I’m not quite that old, purt’ near. But they had people cutting wood along the lake. The wood was easy to get along the lake. And they’d cut it and.. wherever it’d be easiest to get. And try to keep some seasoned. Then the gas powered boats came along about 1914 or 15, the first of the old gas boats. And by the 1920’s, the days of the Cascade Flyer, the Liberty, Victory and Cascade Flyer, they had speeded the boats up to where they were making it up the lake in three or four hours. In fact the time on the boats from leaving Chelan to get to Stehekin probably hasn’t changed very much from around 1920 or 22 to today. Paul Bryant would kill me. But they made a lot more stops. They stopped probably anyway a dozen stops or made more than that, mail stops all the way. Because there were a lot more people living along the lake. Don’t ask me what they did, but they were scattered along there at all those creeks. Some of them year around.</div>

WEAVER: Oh, I think… I don’t think that they ever really logged that thing. No, the Courtney’s logged up there, they didn’t call it that but it was selective logging there. And what you’re thinking of more on the bare patches is where the head of the lake was cleared on the perimeter, for the raising of the lake. They had never logged. Bare patches were due to some earlier forest fires or snow slides and floods, that sort of thing. The valley was never logged on a big scale that I can ever remember or, except that Maxwell place, when Chelan Box logged the Maxwell place, which they should never [have done]… that was dumb. When they went up there on that… they bought that and they logged that off, from the appearance of it.</div>

WEAVER: Well, they tore it up like they do on any commercial logging, and they didn’t make any attempt to clean it up. And of course, people that were concerned with that thing went right in there and took pictures… now this is ahead of the Park Service, and really, the Forest Service had nothing to say about that, because those were private lands, they were homesteads. So the so-called Pershall place, which I think Ray owns some of that today. Anyway they logged from there clear into his place. And that really is the only amount of commercial logging that was ever done up there, believe it or not. They didn’t log that off… there wasn’t that much timber up there. First place, that timber up there in that country has an enormous taper, you’ve got a tree down there 24 inches in diameter and it goes up just like an ice cream cone. And of course, today they cut anything for logs, but in those days when they were really looking for good timber, that country was never a source, or would have been a source of a lot of timber. All your bare hills, bare rock.</div>

WEAVER: Oh, a few. When she taught in a couple of schools out of Chelan there, with those kids. They had nothing to do with, you know, half of the time not even running water. It was a pretty bare, spare way of having to do it. She talked more about that, you know, the facilities. As I say, it was a case of when they would get a half a dozen kids and a little bit of money, and they would get a building wherever they could, or somebody would furnish it, and hopefully a half a dozen desks, and it was really readin’ and writin’ and ‘rithmetic. And those teachers then, in contrast today, were only trained to teach English grammar, arithmetic, and maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to come back to it (laughter).</div>

He tried to transfer back to the northwest, to Neah Bay, to go on with that. And in the meantime, this place was opened up for homestead entry, which they homesteaded then, filed on it about 1912. …</div>

WEAVER: … These early homesteads in the valley, these old timers would go in there, like Margerum, and Buzzard, if I’m not mistaken, on the Buckner place. They would homestead them. They’d build a cabin and set there, and they never really went ahead with any idea of farming. And they would sell, what was it, relinquishment, to the next one that came along. This was what happened in actually four or five of those homesteads. You can see. Your homesteads were along the river, it wasn’t that much land that was any earthly good for agriculture. The rocks. People asked me in later years what we raised at Stehekin. I said rocks! (laughter). We had a rock farm. Near the truth!</div>

Jim Weaver is the son of Daisie and Lewis Weaver. He was born at the Field Hotel in 1912 and lived in Stehekin until he was a young adult. He returned often during the years his mother continued to live here, until her death in the late 1960’s.</div>

WEAVER: My dad would be gone summers, working for the Forest Service, or in the pack train business that he operated. We’d stay there on the homestead, and a couple of cows, a big garden, and she sold milk and butter and garden products to the hotel. And we never had any idle time, we always had to go and work on the intake. The longest I can ever remember that pipeline, water system in Devore Creek, we worked on that till I sold out and left it! (laughter). I think, you say what I done, I’d say I made a million trips! It was 1797 feet from the house to the intake! (laughter). But there was always a lot to do on that place. Wood cutting, and if I remember right, she did the laundry sometimes for the hotel there, we had a big square boiler with a woodstove outside to boil that water. And we tried various versions of water powered washing machines which were never very successful. We didn’t have maytags! (laughter). And this was the house before the days of raising the lake (shows picture). In the wintertime you could go through the whole thing Alaska style, through the center of the woodshed and into the root cellar. This is pretty much like the people in Alaska, or southeastern at least, lived. (Shows various buildings, garden spot). And we had this water system out of Devore Creek, which was put in in the early days to the Hotel Field, and for a state fish hatchery over there. And they had a cable crossing, and that was our transportation across there, and you’d better not fall off of the thing. It was a six inch wooden pipe with a plank on each side, and a double cable. Again, all the same as Alaska.</div>

WEAVER: Well, they’ve got these cable crossings up there in Alaska, and they live in what is literally a compound. You know, on account of the weather. And most of the places there, the early day homesteads in Stehekin had this sort of setup, a woodshed attached to the house, and a root cellar, maybe not directly off… so you could get to them easily, without shoveling a lot of snow. But on our place over there, it was literally based from the beginning around that pipeline. And we later redid it, put in a different pipe, made a little hydroelectric plant. But it was put in in the early days for water for the Hotel Field, and as I say for this state fish hatchery, which was pretty good sized. And they had to have clean water for the fish hatchery, so they had a settling tank. They came out of the creek with a flume, and then the settling tank went through several stages so that the water didn’t have a lot of gravel, or it’d kill those fish. Today they pump water, but in those days, they went through this. And this place was literally built up around that pipeline, and that pipeline crossing. I haven’t any pictures of it.</div>

WEAVER: Right near the Field Hotel. Out in the middle of the lake today. Your whole settlement of Stehekin, the hotel Field, the post office, the store, down at the old dock, and the barns for the hotel Field horses, were all there in that area. It was no different than pioneer life in any of the backwoods country. Because people had big gardens, raised a lot of their supplies, they had root cellars, where you have refrigeration today and frozen foods. They had root cellars, and a couple of cows, and they had to raise hay for winter feed for the cattle. And cut wood, the same sort of thing that a lot of people are trying to return to today, I suppose. But the problem always was refrigeration. The milk soured, all the food spoiled, and we used to have what we called a “ditch box”. The water out of the creek was reasonably cold, and we ran it through this ditch box to keep [food]… and it would have a space probably two feet wide and four feet long, with all of the dishes setting up in that cool water. And the only problem there was water snakes. The liked those things too! Now you had to do battle with water snakes and kill ‘em off. You’d open up the ditch box and there’d be a water snake in the middle of the butter or something! (laughter). Another non-glamorous predator!</div>

WEAVER: Well, you got up early. Woodstoves, you didn’t watch the Today Show and drink coffee like we do today! But people got up early and went to bed early, because the kerosene lamps were not all that much. And of course, everybody, as soon as he could, came along with either a Delco light, or a little hydroelectric plant, or a gas-powered storage battery charger or something for lights. That was before and after World War II, that was probably the principle ambition up there in Stehekin, was to get the hydroelectric or some kind of plant working for electricity. Until of course, today, the PUD has come in there. But everybody was trying to figure out a way to get power with those pipelines out of the creeks there. The PUD made fun of us with our homespun plants, and all our problems with leaves and everything, and they put in there, and they haul diesel up the lake to run the generator! (laughter) There I am on the power company again!</div>

WEAVER: Cutting wood, milking cows, and that pipeline. And going to the boat. The going to the boat. There’s thousands and thousands of man hours that were wasted all those years going to the boat in the middle of the day (laughter). Anybody that ever went to Stehekin and analyzed, he said ‘I could see why these people never got anything done, they had to come down to meet the boat at 10:00 and they didn’t get back till 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon!’ (laughter).</div>

A kitten and a baby skunk came into conflict at Stehekin
last week over a bowl of food. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The food belonged to the kitten but its wild adversary felt
that possession was nine points of the law.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The problem arose at the back door of the Peter Miller home,
when two larcenous baby skunks decided that the kitten’s food was free for the
taking. One woods kitty concluded that honesty was the best policy when
surprised by the owner, but the other stayed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p>The moment of crisis came when kitten and skunk stood nose
to nose within six inches to debate the question. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“There was a time when I felt that the skunk would win by
using its own peculiar talent, but he merely stamped his foot in an aggravated
manner and retreated,” Miller, a neutral observer, said.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">"....That winter, Hugh and Mamie put their name in for the old, abandoned William McComb homestead about a mile and a half up the road from the Lesh place. It was accepted, and on April 19, 1918 with Mamie seven months pregnant with my mother June, they moved up to the homestead."</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hugh and Mamie's rustic beginnings of life in Stehekin surrounded by tall Douglas firs, beside the rushing Stehekin River with a startling rise of McGregor Mountain looming over them, is a story to be revered. Their dream of making Stehekin a home has reached into the lives of many of their descendants, a century later. Each ax swing, shovel of dirt, and snowy winter endured was of benefit to more than their little family of six. Their legacy of hard, back breaking work to find a way to stay and survive on their mountain homestead is a gift that has enabled many generations to live on, in an outstanding homeland. </div>

One hundred years after their move into a dirt floored cabin, Mamie and Hugh's descendants gather on the grounds of the former homestead. The talk is of where the garden was, how water was channeled for produce, animals and home, from a nearby mountainside creek. How the water tower was built, where the barn was located, and the remarkable change of size of the original land due to the continual carving away by the river. The original log cabin has been moved to avoid being washed away. </div>

Mike Barnhart, son of June Barnhart (Courtney) guides the families along the road, pointing to places that were once cleared and occupied by wooden buildings that couldn't last the century. Rock hearths still stand as monuments to the lifestyle of chopping wood for survival heat, daffodils still pop up near the old site, and a few relic vehicles grace the woods. They are long covered over with leaves and ferns, meeting a destiny of "can't fix it." Laughter is shared about "granddad's stories." Memories of climbing the water tower as kids emerge. Much circling of the old log cabin, and talk of the cellar, and the cooling house for milk storage takes place. A rugged lifestyle that required attention every day unfolds and is given honor. </div>

Cousins, second and third and fourth cousins, clear down to a 6th generation baby meet and look at the display Mike has carefully posted of diary entries, a map of the old homestead, and pictures of this very end of Company Creek road destination. Mike and Nancy live on a portion of the original homestead and are graciously making this day a family celebration. Some have traveled from San Antonio, Texas. Some from Arkansas. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Local Courtney families that are still living this dream of Stehekin life meet and share with cousins from far away about what it is like to live here. Little ones play in the setting, oblivious to the historical import of the day, doing what comes natural..running, kicking a ball, and laughing. They enjoy being outside with a unique freedom and innocence that all eras have shared in this special place. Stehekin has grown six generations of the Courtney family, as well as one more, reaching back to Moore point, with Robert and Mary Moore, parents of Mamie.</div>

The hardship of making a way in Stehekin has obviously changed. There is something familiar, however, in Mamie and Hugh's family stories of early life of making it through, making it work, and doing it with your own abilities as best you can, a spirit that has been passed down to the present generations. And, a spirit of hope and dreams still endures, just as it did originally when the valley was first being settled, as is evident in thirteen year old Dorothy Courtney's letter to her brother from 100 years ago, describing their fist day in their "new" home: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>"...We moved yesterday on your birthday and we had a great time. Laurence and I went down to get Mr. Inlow and caught him pretty nearly down to his place going to set bear traps way up on the mountain but he helped us anyway and we got one load up in the morning and then we had to take another load right after dinner. We took that load and the next about 5:30 in the evening. Papa had to go down after another load but Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell and John Merritt came up to drive the team back. It was about twelve o clock when we got to bed; we walked up so that made us tireder than ever. Mr. Inlow put up the stove and beds and we had to shovel the dirt out it was so deep. We couldn't bring the chickens so we had to leave them until tonight but I went and let them out we couldn't catch all of them so Elmer Pershall and his wife get four eggs. We get four eggs every day so we have eggs for breakfast every morning and that is a great help. There are lots of mosquitoes up here. I am nearly eaten up with them.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>We think our team will be up today so that we can start farming in a little while and can get things started. Mr. Washburn gave me some flower seeds and I already have some and Mr. Inlow is going to give me some pansies they are in bloom. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Well I must close,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Your very loving sister, Dorothy Courtney"</i></div>

The original Courtney homestead is now partitioned into family tracts, and has also been sold to others. Life is still carried on by these tall firs, this rushing river, under unforgettable North Cascades peaks. A legacy of family, hardwork, love of place, good will and wonderful history live on.</div>

The snow has just gone off the field in front of our house, and there are signs of warm sunny days ahead! </div>

These flowers are Spring Beauties - such an appropriate name, don't you think? I have been receiving bouquets for over thirty years from my children and grandchildren. They are one of the first spring flowers to make an appearance, and they are apparently irresistible when it comes to getting picked. Their delicate beauty has graced many small vases on my windowsill through the years. I don't generally pick many wildflowers that grow on my property, but I do appreciate the love and kindness that motivates the gift of bouquets on my sill.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Spring is also a time that many of the archers in the valley get their bows, arrows and targets out to practice for the upcoming Rock Shoot in Moses Lake. Here are a few pictures from this past Sunday afternoon</div>

Bill Buzzard first came to the Stehekin Valley in 1889 to
check out mining at Horseshoe Basin. He then patented the Buzzard Homestead in
1904 which consisted of 160 acres. The Buckner Orchard and the Stehekin School
sit on the former homestead. <o:p></o:p></div>

Here is an article from the Chelan Leader dated this week in
1896 announcing Bill Buzzard's return to Stehekin after a winter down lake and
the upcoming summer season. <o:p></o:p></div>

Chelan Leader April 3, 1896<br />
<br />
William Buzzard arrived in Chelan Friday evening, en route to his home in the Stehekin valley, whither he went on Tuesday's steamer. Mr Buzzard wintered in Spokane, and came across the Big Bend, bringing with him several head of horses belonging to his pack train. These he left at Meadow Creek for the present, where there is plenty of feed. He was accompanied by Richard Watkinson, an experienced prospector, who will put in the summer above the head of the lake looking for the precious metals for which that region is famous.<br />

<br />
Mr Buzzard has one of the loveliest locations on earth for a pleasure resort. It is situated on the Stehekin river, two and a half miles from the head of the lake and in plain sight of the 300-foot Rainbow Falls, and is surrounded by majestic, towering, snow-capped mountains. There is no better trout fishing than is to be found in the Stehekin river, while prairie chickens and grouse are plentiful. Now and then the monotony is broken for the bird hunter by meeting with larger game, such as a bear, cougar, deer or wild goat. A large mound on his place would afford an ideal spot for a tourist hotel, and water for lawns, fountains, etc can be carried in pipes direct from Rainbow Creek. Those unacquainted with this region would be astonished to learn what a profusion of fine vegetables can be raised, as well as small fruits, etc.<br />
<br />
Mr Buzzard, while something of a rancher, has been identified with the mining industry for a quarter of a century, and his judgement on a mining proposition is considered to be pretty good. He has indicated his judgment by identifying himself with the mines of the Chelan district, largely in Horseshoe basin, but also in other camps.<br />
<br />
A short time ago the LEADER stated on the authority of a Spokane man who was interested, that the new gold fields at the head of the Twisp would be reached and would ship ore via Lake Chelan. Someone afterwards denied that it could be done. It is now learned from Mr Buzzard that he is fitting out a pack train, part of the horses for which he brought with him from Spokane, for the express purpose of packing between the head of Lake Chelan and the Twisp mining camp, which he says can be easily reached inside of 28 miles. There is no question of this being the easiest and cheapest outlet for those mines as they would have at least eighty miles of trail and wagon road by any other route to reach the Columbia, while on the lake they have seventy miles of navigation, at greatly reduced time and expense.<br />
<br />
It was also learned from Mr Buzzard that gentlemen in Spokane who are interested in the Company Creek gold finds of last year, situated some ten or fifteen miles from the head of the lake, will send in a competent expert to examine that proposition as soon as the camp can be reached. It is Mr Buzzard's opinion that if the ore of Company Creek will pay at all to work, it is the biggest gold proposition in North America, as there are millions of tons of the rock.<br />
<br />
It is also expected that development work will be actively pushed in Horseshoe Basin this season, although operations there cannot probably begin before June. It is thought work on the tunnel will be abandoned for the present, and will be concentrated on one of the ledges until depth sufficient to determine its value shall have been reached.<br />
<br />
It will thus be seen that a pretty lively mining season is anticipated on and above Lake Chelan this season, and while there will be no boom, it is likely there will be more solid development done that at any previous time in the history of the district.Stehekin Communityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00335228900158367109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363729524314017592.post-18559226358863651582018-03-11T12:43:00.000-07:002018-03-11T12:43:27.189-07:00"In the Wonderland of the Northwest"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Stanley Place</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Where the name of McGregor Mountain originated</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Approximately five miles upvalley from
the head of the lake lies one of the more desirable homestead sites
in the Stehekin Valley, with level, fertile land, not heavily
timbered and abundant water available from the Stehekin River. The
first man to cast eyes on this site as a possible abode built himself
a cabin, dug about half a mile of irrigation ditch, and planted a
garden. This would-be homesteader was named Billy McGregor, and
although he disappeared from the scene in 1901, his name lives on in
the mountain which dominates the view at the head of the lake and
which mightily overshadowed his modest homesite.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">An updated map shows a 73.5 acre plot
designated as the “McGregor Flats” Ranger Station, indicating the
irrigation ditch and site of Billy McGregor's cabin. In 1906, Jake M.
Richardson of Chelan filed on 79.14 acres, including a portion of the
old Ranger Station site, which had been downsized to ten acres, thus
releasing 63 acres for settlement. A metes and bounds survey by E.O.
(Jack) Blankenship dated August 26, 1913, shows the area thus filed
on.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But Jake Richardson also relinquished
this site, and on September 3, 1914, Robert A. Stanley, of Tenino,
Thurston County, Washington, made homestead entry 013412 for List NO.
6-1129 (H.E. Survey No. 233) in sections 8, 9, and 16 of T. 33n,
R17EWM, in the area known then and now as McGregor Flats. What
brought him to the valley is now unclear – possibly work at Lesh's
Sawmill. At any rate, he and his family moved onto the land in late
November of 1914. A “shack” (his terminology) was built that
fall, and a proper house in 1915 – described as 1½ (or 2)
stories, of logs, with 5 rooms and a root cellar, 2 doors, 6 windows.
The family consisted of Mr. Stanley, his wife, Nellie McKay Stanley,
and three children aged 5 and under. Two more children were born
during their time on the land, the youngest being 4 years old in
1921.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Homesteading was not an easy
proposition, but over the next six years improvements were added-- a
26' x 30' barn (they had several head of livestock, a couple of
horses, one or more sheep), a wagon bridge over “McGregor Creek”
(which still runs rampant through the area during high water and is
actually a branch of the Stehekin River), two irrigation dams, two
ditches, 12 acres fenced with 3 strands of wire, several acres
cleared, and 5½ acres under cultivation. Bear in mind that this was
done with hand or horse drawn implements – no chain saws or
tractors for the Stanleys!</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In order to earn a little money for the
necessities of homestead life, Robert Stanley periodically left the
land and sought work elsewhere, leaving his family to look after
things at home. Fron June 1 to September 1, 1915, he was absent
working for wages. From the fall of 1916, to May 1, 1917, the whole
family moved to Stehekin [meaning from up valley they moved down the road to the lower valley] where he cut wood and the older children
attended school. He was absent from the claim November 1, 1017, to
April 1, 1918, and again from January 1, to April 1 1920 working in
lumber camps on the coast. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mrs. Stanley and the children remained on
the claim. Their nearest neighbors were the Courtneys, who lived
across the river. Hugh Courtney cut a tree to fall across the river
to provide access between the two places, but Mrs. Stanley was afraid
to cross it, even though Hugh put up a hand rail. Mrs. Courtney would
go over now and then to pay a visit and verify that things were all
right – and reportedly from home she could hear Mrs. Stanley
yelling at her children or the livestock or life in general, so was
reassured that all was proceeding normally.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Nellie Stanley seems to have been a
rather rough and tough individual, talkative in the extreme, and
loud. Leota Patterson Yocum who taught school in the McGregor flats
school (built on land leased by the Stanleys for as long as it was
used for a school), in 1920 and 1921, later wrote: I remember her
riding their tall, white horse at gallop, her wide-brimmed hat turned
back in the wind, her skirts flapping and she hanging on to the
saddle for dear life. She'd wave her hand and shout at me, as I'd
scramble quickly to the side of the road out of the was as she
passed, her words trailing unintelligibly behind her. But I had many
conversations with her. These were one-sided conversations. How she
loved to talk, and she could go on interminably, never giving one
time to answer. A not at the appropriate spot was all that was
necessary.” And my grandmother, May Buckner, told of hearing Nellie
Stanley approaching one day, and of her (May's) flight to hide in the
cellar until she departed. Nellie seems to have been a bit too rough
for my proper, genteel Baptist grandmother? However, once in the
cellar, May had no way of determining when Mrs. Stanley had departed,
and thus was prisoner for many minutes of her own rather
un-neighborly action.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But Nellie Stanley was equal to all
that fate threw her way, and that took the unfortunate form of
Robert Stanley's bout with terminal cancer. In June, 1920, he
underwent an operation for cancer of the bladder in a Tacoma
hospital. It was at this time that he was making his final proof on
the homestead in order to obtain his patent (title). His testimony
was taken before the Clerk of Pierce County in Tacoma on June 19,
1920, while the testimony of his two witnesses, Barney Zell and Lew
Weaver, was taken in Waterville on the same date. Mr. Stanley
returned to the valley late in the summer, ad continued in residence
through the winter, but in the spring while the road was still
blocked with snow, it was necessary to move him out to Wenatchee
where medical attention was at hand. The neighbors constructed a
special sled to transport him and assisted in getting the family the
five miles to the boat landing. Accorkding to Leota Yocum, a niece
from Chicago came out to help care for the school-age children for at
least a time.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Meanwhile, the homestead title did not
appear, and as Robert Stanely's conditon worsened so did his condern
for the land title. On August 2, the Chelan County Auditor, A.V.
Shepard, wrote the General Land Office in Washington, D.C., inquiring
as to the status of the patent. In a letter to the Waterville Land
Office, dated August 23, 1921, the Assistant Comissioner of the
Department of the Interior stated:

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“This office is in receipt of a
letter from the Acting Forester, Forest Service, dated February 17,
1921, in which he states that on July 1, 1920, the district forester
at Portland, Oregon, advised your office <i>'that from an examination
made of the land covered by this entry it was found that only 5 ½
acres had been cultivated; that unless the entryman secured a
reduction of the area of cultivation the Forest Service would be
obliged to protest the final proof. (Ten acres was necessary to meet
the requirements.) The Forest Service has heard nothing further about
this matter.'” </i>While proof is unsatisfactory as to cultivation,
it appears, however, that the claimant has otherwise shown his good
faith … in view of which you will advise him that he will be
allowed 30 days to file an affidavit, corroborated by two of the
proof witnesses stating why he failed to cultivate the required area
each year . . . “</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Affidavits he wants? Affidavits he
gets!!! First from Robert A. Stanley deposing “that he has been in
ill health for the past four years; that for the last year and a half
he has been bedfast, and at this time is almost entirely helpless
with a cancer; that for the past two years affiant has been unable to
do any work, ad for two years prior to that could do very little;
that the development work on said ranch was on by affiant's wife,
Nellie Stanley . . . That the only property affiant and his wife have
is the said property with some personal property . . . That affiant
did all he could possibly do . . . and that his wife did grubbing,
slashing and other work . . . “ Nellie McKay Stanley deposed all of
the above, adding “That affiant and her husband were unable
financially to employ any help in development work on said homestead,
and for that reason, since Robert A. Stanly was stricken with cancer,
affiant has cut down trees, sawing and splitting them up, and has
raised crops, commencing work as early as four and five o'clock in
the morning and working until ten and eleven o'clock at night in
order to develop the homestead and to support herself, her husband
and family . . . That affiant worked like a slave until compelled to
leave (to care for her husband in Wenatchee) . . . That affiant was
there day in and day out, never leaving and drudged and slaved to
assist in making a living . . .”</span></div>

Mrs. J.M. Jack, one of the officers engaged in distributing charity
in Wenatchee, verifying Mr. Stanley's condition and the family's
destitution and dependency on charity for food and clothing, and that
the homstead constituted all that they had; from Frank E. Beatty,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Wenatchee, deposing the same
thing; from Drs. C. Gilchrist and A.E. Gerhardt, deposing all of the
above as well as the rapidly approaching end of Mr. Stanley's life;
from the County Auditor and one County Commissioner, the former
having gone to Stehekin to examine the homestead and talk with the
neighbors and secure their signatures on an affidavit swearing to the
honesty, industriousness, and good faith of the Stanleys and from the
neighbors, attesting to the above and describing the improvements on
the homestead. This affidavit was signed by Bernard Zell, Lewis M.
Weaver, Dan Devore, W. V. Buckner, O.J. Hart, Alfard D. Bowen, H.L.

determine, Nellie Stanley moved her personal belongings (and her
children) to Wentachee and never lived on the homestead again. The
land was sold for taxes probably sometime in the thirties; it was
owned by Guy Imus at one time and later by Sam Tollber, who
subdivided it. Some of the land is still privately owned.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">CHELAN, Wash. – When the weather is
bad and Ernie Gibson is flying his plane, he puts aside his pipe and takes to
whistling. He whistles a lot this time of year.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Gibson, 64,
has been a bush pilot in Washington’s Cascade wilderness for 37 years. The
floatplane skipper is a hero to hundreds of youngsters and adults in one of the
most rugged slices of the Pacific Northwest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In bad
storms, he chases lightning strikes to pinpoint fires for the U.S. Forest
Service and the National Park Service. He flies injured and lost hikers out of
the mountains. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since 1945,
Ernie Gibson has been Chelan Airways, the tiny airline of two floatplanes that
buzz back and forth over 55-mile-long, one-mile wide Lake Chelan between Chelan
and Stehekin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The airline
boasts a three-passenger Cessna 185 and a seven-passenger DeHaviland Beaver.
Gibson chooses which plane he will fly by the number of passengers waiting to
make a trip. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m a coward,”
the handsome six-foot pilot joked. “I never leave the runway.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He flies
low over the deep blue-green glacier lake, lighting up his pipe after he’s
airborne and puffing away until he touches down again on the water.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gibson
figures he has bade at least 25,000 round trips up and down the lake.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>He wears
duck waders each trip. At Stehekin, he ties the airplane to a float. But at
Chelan, he climbs out of the cockpit and wades through the shallow water,
pulling the plane up a ramp. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s like
a horse,” he said, blue eyes sparkling. “I have to tie it up.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For him,
each flight is unique. “The mountains are always different. The lake is always
different. Noting is ever the same.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In years
past, Gibson flew miners in and out of mining camps that were scattered along
the lakeshore until the late 1950s. Now, he flies mostly homeowners and
visitors to remote Stehekin and the Lake Chelan National Recreation area at the
northern tip of Lake Chelan. <o:p></o:p></div>

We disembarked the next morning with our pack pony which we had taken up on the boat with us, and it was our intention to make our way by trail to the Skagit pass, the boat, with other passengers, returning to the foot of the lake next day.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Our plans, however, were frustrated by the extensive forest fires which we encountered in the Stehekin canyon, five miles from our starting point, the hot ashes and burning logs so badly injuring the hoofs and fetlocks of the pack pony, and making it exceedingly tropical for ourselves as well, that we returned to the mouth of the river.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At this point a settler named Horton has built a cabin and leads the life of a hermit mountaineer.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>On returning to this cabin we attended to the suffering pony by besmearing his hoofs and legs with grease and bandaging them, not only to exclude the air, but to prevent the yellow jackets or wasps, which were there in swarms, from annoying the affected limbs. By evening the fire which we had encountered in the morning had swept down to near the cabin, and only by the greatest exertions, and by ourselves burning a space around it, was it saved.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We were all compelled to spread our blankets that night on a sand island at the mouth of the river in order to be secure from the burning trees.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Fanned by a strong northwest wind, the fire ran up both sides of the canyon to the very summits of the mountains with the speed of a hurricane, accompanied by terrific crackling and roaring.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was a grand, but fearful spectacle, as we lay on the sand bar on the night of August 2<sup>nd</sup>, watching the immense sheets of lurid flame licking up everything in their path as they followed along the shore of the lake, from the water's edge to the very summit, making a veritable mountain of fire.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>At frequent intervals huge rocks loosened by the great heat went tumbling down the precipitous mountain sides with a crashing noise and plunged into the lake below, throwing up great columns of water, red tinted in the glare of the burning forest.”</span></div>

Kerry Siderius' enthusiasm for life shines brightly through her masterful, watercolor works. A huge fan of her North Central Washington homelands, her happiness bubbles over into her works that feature everything from wine country grapes to Saddlerock Mountain of Wenatchee, from Cashmere farmhouses to the tiniest of chipmunks. </div>

It is easy to see why Kerry's watercolor and oil artwork
is loved and recognized by many with growing popularity.
Her ability to capture true life detail with uncanny accuracy while playing
with enchanting color creates a style that is….. captivating! </div>

Kerry’s special gift of artistry joins with her love of this
region, bringing bright life to scenes such as the stark and beautiful Columbia
River country, vineyards, luscious wine grapes (that look as if could pick them off
the picture), cliffs and granite, and apple orchards
through the seasons. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kerry immerses herself
in the country she loves, including a special trip to Stehekin once a year: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

take the Lady (of the Lake) up to Moore Point then hike the remaining 7 miles
to Stehekin on Mother's Day. The Lupine are in full bloom usually. We break it
up in two days camping at Flick Creek that first night. Henry, who's 18 now has
caught our dinner every time! We love it!" says Kerry of her trip up the Lakeshore Trail. </span></div>

after we married and I was hired in the prestigious Design District in Dallas
as their watercolor artist in a very exclusive gallery called Beaux Arts. It
was like boot camp for an artist. Working there taught me so many things about
what's pleasing to designers,(interior decorators), and sometimes adhering to a
very strict palette. </span></div>

now 18, I immediately wanted to move home to be near grandma, grandpa and all
the cousins that were starting to be born! We moved back and it was like
Dorothy waking up over the rainbow! I had missed Washington SO much and I
hadn't even realized it! It was like suddenly everything was in color! Those
"ugly" brown mountains with sage brush and the occasional pine tree
looked like heaven to me."</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">" I couldn't get enough. I put Henry in a backpack and
took my camera and my brushes and started painting our beautiful area, that I
hadn't really noticed before." </span></div>

Chelan, Wenatchee, Stehekin, Leavenworth, Cashmere, Crescent Bar to Tonasket
and everywhere in between. I had to move away to appreciate it. I could
never live anywhere else. My husband and I bought our dream house in Cashmere.
It's an 108 year old farmhouse out in the middle of a pear orchard with a
little creek running through it. Life is good!</span>"</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
key to surviving here is that one must be able to cope with nearly all of the
work, or emergencies, that the isolation forces upon you. You learn many skills
you may not have imagined you’d need. And it is wise to be very careful about
safety and health, as a sound body is required for successful coping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
major lesson I’ve learned is that big jobs as well as<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>small <u>can</u> be
accomplished by taking them one small step at a time until the work is done:
woodpiles to be moved, firewood to be chopped; garden beds to be dug, planted,
tended, harvested, cleaned up; food to be processed and bread baked; quilt tops
to be pieced and quilted; snow to be shoveled, snowfall after snowfall- and on
and on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Another
intriguing aspect of Stehekin life is how individuals and families move in and
out of the community. The lifestyle suits many for only short periods – as a
breather, perhaps. Some make the valley their permanent home; other, a
retirement location as long as they can cope. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With
so few people living here, community participation becomes important. We grow
through serving as officers and participants in organizations like the school
board and the community council, plan entertainments and activities for the whole
age range in the community, and depend upon each other for support of all
kinds. Yet we also have the opportunity to live very private lives, even in
such a small valley.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>“But what do you do up here all winter?” Every Stehekin resident has probably been asked that question many times over. There is, of course, no shortage of things to do in Stehekin in one's spare time; the excellent mail-order library service helps fill any gaps, but for most there are few gaps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>A project which whetted my interest shortly after moving to Stehekin and subsequently filled my days, winter and summer, has been that of researching and collecting written material for the National Park Service's interpretive library. Most of my efforts on the project have been devoted to historical writings about Lake Chelan and the Stehekin area. This has included books, or segments of books, magazine and journal articles, and newspaper articles. Though I have barely scratched the surface, enough material has turned up that it seemed to be time to share some of what has been found. Incidentally, everything included in this book has not been “found” by me. Other people's bibliographies have helped, and once word gets around that such a collection is under way, people are very helpful about passing on references or articles they are familiar with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The list of publications has grown, and continues to grow. The length of the bibliography at the back of the book gives an idea of the numerous writings there are, and this list is far from complete. Most newspaper articles, for instance, are not included in the list, nor are most of the reports prepared before the area was made a National Park.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Stehekin is unique (along with other scenic areas) in that much has been written about it because of its scenic setting, its isolation and remoteness, and its appeal to the sportsman—hunter, fisherman, hiker, or mountain climber. Community life as such, however, has not been the subject of much writing, though the continued remoteness of the area in this day of speedy and available transportation does make the area good “copy,” and the number of newspaper and magazine articles, even television shows, seems to be increasing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The time span for recorded history of the Stehekin area is short—barely more than 100 years as of this writing. The number of people involved in the history is also not great; the number of year-round residents in the Stehekin Valley has probably never exceeded 100, even in the heyday of the mining explorations, and usually it has been much less. Tourism (and mining in the early days) brings in many more on a temporary basis, of course, but the names of those passing through are not likely to be recorded in history.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>This book is not meant to be a history of Stehekin. The content is much too limited to be considered a complete chronological presentation. However, the reader will probably acquire (or renew, in the case of the old-timers already familiar with the valley) a sense of history—perhaps even an appetite for further research. Since the National Park Service has been in the valley, with its emphasis on historical interpretation (as well as natural history, recreation, etc.), there has been an increased interest in the past. The Buckner ranch, for instance, with its preserved buildings, farm machinery, irrigation system, etc., is part of the interpretive program each summer, with Park rangers leading walking tours around the ranch. For those who are interested in the past—in the development of the community, and the attitudes of outsiders toward the developing community—these early writings should be of interest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>People's activities change over the years, man-made landmarks change, leisure pursuits change. But the geographic features—the mountains, rivers, even, the flora and fauna change very little. Thanks to our government's actions in preserving the Stehekin Valley, first as a National Forest, and finally as a National Park and National Recreation Area, those features should still be the same for future generations to enjoy. Finding that the same bed of wildflowers which bloom every year today was blooming almost 100 years ago gives ones a sense of eternal preservation; perhaps the world will go on, in spite of man's intervention. And man will continue to enjoy the scenic wonders of the world, of which the Stehekin Valley is still one of the top contenders. The early writers were too flowery in their descriptions, but they certainly appreciated what they saw when they visited the Stehekin Valley.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>As in the preparation of most books, thee have been many involved whose assistance should be acknowledged. Gay Robertson, for instance, did all the final typing, making the copy “camera ready.” Her accuracy, patience with the poor copy she had to work with, and her excellent suggestions are most appreciated; without her there would be no book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The Pacific Northwest Collection at the University of Washington Library was the source of most of the periodicals in which the articles for the book were found. The Photography Collection, also at the University of Washington Library, yielded the Lindsley photographs used in the book. Cindy Stammen prepared the drawing for the cover. My sister, Jean Larson, demonstrated unlimited tolerance while I pecked away on the typewriter. The National Park Service personnel at Stehekin have been most helpful and supportive in the project.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Finally, but most important of all, the early writers contributed the bulk of the book. By drawing their contributions together, within one cover, it is hoped that Stehekin's past will come alive and help us enjoy the present, and preserve what we can for the future.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

have a healthy respect for him, and I'm glad that it hasn't occurred
to Norman that he could break the 2 x 4's on the sides of his pen
like kindling if he wanted to. I recount how he lays his head down on
the ground, burying his eight inch horn in the dirt and then he
pushes - popping the big tree roots like I would snap a thread. I am
interrupted by my two-way radio, "240 to 221", and I

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">Turning
off the road into Jake and Dawn's long driveway, I begin scanning the area for
Norman. No sign of him in the pasture, no sign of him in Jim and
Rene's yard. As I turn into Jake and Dawn's driveway, I see Amber,
and not too far from her is Norman. When he sees me he drops his head
low, and though my windows are closed, I hear his
bellow. He keeps his head down and trots toward me. He stops and paws
the ground, head low. He pushes the dirt backward with his front foot
and throws it up onto his back, swinging his head from side to side,
snorting. I turn off the engine. He is a big animal, and he lowers
his head out of sight near my front tire , and then my vehicle rocks. I
worry a little that he might put his horn through my tire. I wonder
what he thinks I am, and hope he doesn't interpret my actions as
aggression. Watching him with awe, and feeling a tad bit unsafe, I
wish I knew what to do. Amber is happily grazing in the grass along
the trail to the pasture.</span></span></span></div>

is looking at me through the passenger door window; he tries to put
his nose in the three inch opening at the top of the window. His wet
snout leaves a wide smear. I talk soothingly to him, but he is
obviously agitated. He bellows and paws the ground some more.</span></span></span></div>

and Eric arrive and park about twenty-five feet behind where I am
stopped. Eric gets out the passenger side of the truck. I see Norman
become still and turn his head to look at Eric. Then Norman takes a
few steps in that direction. I open my door and shout at them that
Mark is up the road and that Norman seems to be very agitated. Eric
quickly gets back in the truck, and they drive away to get Mark.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">Amber
begins to amble back toward the pen, and Norman apparently desiring
to be closer to her trots in her direction. I watch Norman go up the
steps by the back door of Jake and Dawn's house and toss Dawn's
tennis shoe from the stoop; the clothes on the line show evidence
that his wet nose had investigated them. The motorcycle is on its
side, and the bottom wire of the garden fence is broken. Amber enjoys
being out and eating freely - as she had been allowed to do before
Norman came to live with her. The two bovine are a perfect study in
contrasts - Amber, the contented, slow-moving milk cow; Norman, the
agitated, energized bull.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">I
can hear Mark's truck before I see him. Amber and Norman slowly cut
through the woods and head out into the open pasture. Eric, John and
Mark drive in at the same time. I open the door and get out to
tell them where Amber and Norman are. Mark heads to the pen to see
what damage has been done, and he finds that two of the 2 x 4's are
broken.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">I
am a little shaky and recognize the feeling of stress in my stomach. We all
begin moving to remedy the situation. The guys get tools, nails and
lumber, while I keep an eye on Norman. I shout out reports of
Norman's whereabouts, and can see the guys are also aware of their
escape routes. They work quickly, swiveling their heads for a quick
check on Norman. Gordy comes over and tells of watching Norman push
the clothes pin bag back and forth on the line at their house,
seeming to play with it. There is something sort of sweet and
childlike in Norman's exploring, but his size and hormones warn us to
be careful. Having watched bulls Norman's size at rodeos, our
imaginations spur us on to vigilance and caution.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">Now
that the 2 x 8's are in place where the broken 2 x4's once were, Mark
decides on a plan to get Norman back in the pen. He gets Amber's
tie-out rope, and I drive him, in the back of the truck, into the
pasture. We pull up next to Amber, with the truck in the 30 foot
space between her and Norman. Mark hops out and quickly ties the rope
to her halter, and then hops back in. I begin to drive to the pen - a
distance of about 100 yards. The pasture is very bumpy, and the truck
has many rattles and squeaks from years on the upper Stehekin road.
The driver-side window only rolls down 4 inches, so I can't hear
Mark's directions to me very well. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background: transparent;">Suddenly aware that Amber is
moving, Norman begins to trot toward us. I feel another shot of
adrenaline course through my veins. I hear Mark holler, "Go!",
so I speed up, imagining that Norman must be threatening. A bit
louder, Mark yells, "Go!" and I increase our speed. I don't
know what Norman could do to Mark in the back of the truck, but I am
thankful for the lumber rack that fortifies Mark's fortress. The
faster we go, the louder our truck's noises become. Once again I hear
Mark, louder yet than last time. I turn my head to see if Norman is
doing something terrible, and instead see poor Amber running full
out. Then it registers that what Mark is yelling has not been "Go!",
but "Slow!" I immediately take my foot off the gas and
glance back to see Amber resume a respectable trot.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">I
pull up to the open side of the pen, and park in a way to limit
access. Mark throws the end of the rope across the pen to John and
Eric who reel Amber in and tie her up tight on the far side. Norman
is very curious about what is going on. He comes to the back of the
truck and stretches his thick neck up, his glistening nose sniffing
Mark. Norman begins to bellow and paw the ground. He moves around the
truck, from side to side, reaching his head toward Mark. I sit in the
cab of the truck and watch. Now that the engine is off, I can hear
Mark clearly. "I have had just about enough of you, Buddy. Your
time is limited. I am not going to put up with much more."
Norman shows no sign of going into the pen.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Norman
catches a whiff of the little bucket of grain that Mark had to entice
Amber. Holding the bucket out, Mark allows Norman to eat the grain.
As Norman's snout is about the same diameter as the bucket the task
takes a little while. In the meantime, Mark hops out on the far side
of the truck and grabs a long branch - about five feet long and an
inch around. He quickly whittles a sharp point on one end. I watch
and wonder, "What is he thinking? I sure hope he doesn't poke
Norman with that stick!" I suppose that it is the proverbial "ox
goad", but to me it looks like one more thing to irritate an
already aggravated animal. Norman is on the side of the truck toward
the pen. He seems to be looking for Amber. He trots a bit closer to
the opening, and as I hold my breath he walks in and begins to eat
some of the hay Mark has thrown into the pen. Mark quickly slides the
boards across to close the gate, and I breath a sigh of relief.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">After
a short time back in the pen, Norman calms down. We come up with an
explanation of what we imagine transpired before our arrival. Amber
slid back two of the gate boards and squeezed out. Norman saw that
Amber wasn't where he could keep his eye on her. Wanting to be sure
his girl was safe, Norman took his responsibility seriously, and
busted the fence to get to her.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In a certain town there lived a cobbler, Martin Avdeich by name. He had a tiny room in a basement, one window of which looked out on the street.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Through it he could see only the feet of those who passed by, but Martin recognized many people by their boots, which he had repaired.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He had plenty to do, for he worked well, used good material and did not charge much. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Years before, his wife and children had died and Martin's despair had been so great that he reproached God.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Then one day an old man from Martin's native village, who had become a pilgrim and holy man, stopped in.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Martin opened his heart to him.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"I no longer wish to live," he said. "I am without hope."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The old man replied: "Your despair comes because you wish to live for your own happiness.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Read the Gospels: there you will see how God would have you live."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin bought himself a Bible. At first he meant to read it only on holy days but, once begun, it made his heart so light that he read it every day.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And so it happened that late one night, in the Gospel of Luke, Martin came to the part where a rich Pharisee invited the Lord to his house. A woman who was a sinner came and anointed the Lord's feet and washed them with her tears. The Lord said to the Pharisee: <i>Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head .... My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.</i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i></i><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin pondered.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>He must have been like me, that Pharisee.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>If the Lord came to me, should I behave like that?</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Then he laid his head upon his arms and fell asleep.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Suddenly he heard a voice and started from his sleep.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>No one was there. But he heard quite distinctly: "Martin!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

Then he put on his apron and sat by the window to work. As he thought about the night before, he looked out into the street more than he worked. Whenever anyone passed in unfamiliar boots, he would look up to see the face. A house porter passed, then a water-carrier.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Presently an old man called Stepanich, who worked for a neighboring tradesman, began clearing the snow before Martin's window. Martin glanced at him, then went on with his work.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After he had made a dozen stitches, he looked out again. Stepanich had leaned his shovel against the wall and was either resting or trying to get warm. Martin went to the door and beckoned.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Come in," he said, "and warm yourself. You must be cold."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"May God bless you!" Stepanich answered. He came in, shaking off the snow, and began wiping his feet.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>As he did so he tottered and nearly fell.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Don't trouble," Martin said.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Sit down and have some tea."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Filling two tumblers, he passed one to his visitor.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Stepanich emptied his glass.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>It was plain that he would be glad of some more. Martin refilled the tumbler. As they drank, Martin kept looking out into the street.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Are you expecting anyone?" asked the visitor.</span></div>

<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As Stepanich listened, tears ran down his cheeks. "Thank you, Martin Avdeich. You have given me comfort for soul and body."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Stepanich went away, and Martin sat down to stitch a boot. As he looked out the window, a woman in peasant shoes passed and stopped by the wall. Martin saw that she was poorly dressed, a baby in her arms. With her back to the wind, she was trying to wrap the baby to her, though she wore only shabby summer clothes.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Martin went out and invited them in.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin brought out some bread and soup. "Eat, my dear, and warm yourself," he said.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As the woman ate, she told him who she was. "I'm a soldier's wife. They sent my husband far away eight months ago, and I have heard nothing since. I have been unable to find work, and I've had to sell all I had for food. I pawned my last shawl yesterday."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin went to get an old cloak. "Here," he said. "It's worn out, but it will do to wrap the baby in."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The woman burst into tears. "The Lord bless you."</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin smiled and told her of his dream and the promised visit.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Who knows? All things are possible," said the woman. She got up and wrapped the cloak around herself and the baby. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Take this," said Martin, giving her money to get her shawl out of pawn. Then he saw her out.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin sat down to work again. Every time a shadow fell on the window, he looked up to see who was passing. After a while he saw a woman selling apples from a basket. On her back was a heavy sack she wanted to shift. As she placed her basket on a post, a boy in a tattered hat ran up, snatched an apple and tried to slip away. But the old woman seized the boy by his hair. The boy screamed, and the woman scolded.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin ran out into the street. The woman was threatening to take the boy to the police. "Let him go, Granny," Martin said. "Forgive him, for Christ's sake." The old woman let go. "Ask for Granny's forgiveness," Martin told the boy.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The boy began to cry and to beg pardon. Martin took an apple from the basket and gave it to the boy saying, "I will pay you, Granny."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"The rascal ought to be whipped," said the old woman.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Oh Granny," said Martin, "if he should be whipped for stealing an apple, what should be done to us for our sins? God bids us forgive or we shall not be forgiven. We should forgive a thoughtless youngster most of all."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"It's true enough," said the old woman, "but they are getting terribly spoiled."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As she was about to hoist her sack on her back, the lad sprang forward. "Let me carry it for you, Granny.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I'm going your way."</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She put the sack on the boy's back, and they went down the street together. Martin went back to work. Soon he could not see to pass the needle through the holes in the leather. He gathered his tools, swept up the cuttings and placed a lamp on the table. Then he took his Bible from the shelf.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He meant to open the book at a place he had marked, but it opened at another place. Then, hearing footsteps, he turned around. A voice whispered in his ear: "Martin, don't you know me?"</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"Who is it?" muttered Martin.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"It is I," said the voice. And out of a dark corner of the room came Stepanich, who smiled and, vanishing like a cloud, was seen no more.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"It is I," said the voice again. And out stepped the woman with the baby in her arms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She smiled and the baby laughed, and they too vanished.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"It is I," said the voice once more. The old woman and the boy<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>with the apple stepped out, smiled,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and then vanished.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Martin's soul grew glad. He began reading the Gospel where it had opened. At the top of the page he read: <i>For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in.</i></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i></i><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At the bottom of the page he read: <i>Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. </i>And so Martin understood that the Savior really had come to him on that day, and he had welcomed him.</span></div>

decision expected by January. Under the proposal, bears from Montana and
British Columbia would be brought here and released to live in 9,800-square
miles of remote forests covering portions of seven counties stretching from the
Canadian border south to Interstate 90.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Like a rare jewel, the value of the
unique lifestyle existing in Stehekin increases over time. In an era where
self- reliance has disappeared into rapid and fragmented living, this valley
and the people it calls its own keep alive a way of life to be treasured. Our
daily lives reflect a rich heritage of the raw spirit that has gone before us
to create today’s advanced lifestyles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Convenience does not exist in the
mountains. Even gadgets and machines cannot overcome this simple law that
affects those who choose to live so close to raw nature. Our lives take on the
rhythms and cycles all around us. We are subject to strong elemental forces
larger than our wills. In awe and due respect we must live conscientiously and
make every move count. A modern lifestyle finds no space here… we simply cannot
move that fast, and, we like it that way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Due to remoteness we must rely on
what is immediately around us for basic survival rudiments. This is the
difference and this is the beauty and this is the pioneer’s life. We can know
our sources of life so readily. Heat comes from the forest with firewood, water
comes directly from snows and rains, some food is grown from our own soil. The
air is fresh. Most of our homes are built from local resources, most by our own
hands. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Skills and crafts reminiscent of
early settlers, largely dependent on handwork, are kept alive in Stehekin. This
is partly due to a desire to be consistent in self- reliance and partly due to simple
need. A person learns the value of practicality in the “old ways” of splitting
wood, log work, horse packing, putting up food, butchering, spinning, knitting,
leatherwork, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Community
life speaks of the old- fashioned traditions worthy of remembering and
retaining. Young and old mix at numerous potlucks for all occasions, square
dances, volleyball and baseball games, races, and graduation celebrations of
the one- room school. In times of need differences are dropped. At other times
we are as diverse in character as you can find. Like a family our arguments cry
out to be resolved because tomorrow we will need to live and work together
whether we want to or not!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

satellite TV dish or VCR does not change our need to experience the ritual of
wood- gathering for survival’s sake. We still become snowed in. The river
floods, we run out of food supplies, we cannot communicate easily with our
relatives elsewhere and we must <u>wait</u> for mail, parts and people. We do
pay a price for choosing to live a lifestyle that requires our constant
attention. However, what we gain is priceless. Understanding life from the
foundation up, understanding cycles from beginning to end to beginning again,
respecting the mountains. Stepping outside to be filled with the humbling lessons
of nature and inspiring beauty of quiet majesty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I once read an essay that a Stehekin School student had written about November. It was a short piece and it was not intended to be an amusing composition, but the depth of this young man's negative sentiment about the gray, wet days of November are ultimately entertaining, capturing the feeling that is common in this in-between season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">By mid-November most of the colorful leaves have fallen, faded brown in piles on the ground. The crystal clear sun's light is obscured by clouds and the daylight hours are short, while the mountains' shadows get longer every day. The days start late and nights comes early. The rains that we hoped for during the dry, hot days of summer finally arrive, cold and unrelenting as we watch the snow line come ever closer to the valley floor. The baring of the trees and the lack of direct sunlight transforms the Stehekin valley to an almost monochromatic world. There is much beauty that remains, but it's almost like a shadow of its former glory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Our attitude about November has to do with perspective. Surviving and thriving in this middle season requires a plan. We call it "getting ready for winter".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">On the cold dark days, a productive endeavor can be making applesauce. The beauty of summer brightens my kitchen sink with the fruit from our trees. As long as the apples are still firm, this simple </span><br />

The photos capture a glimpse into a unique era. I know that some of the fire lookouts still stand in Washington, but in the almost 40 years since my first visit to Stehekin I have only seen the charred remains of what was once a fire lookout. These small spare cabins, often perched high atop tall mountains were the summer haunts of young men, and sometimes women, who were hearty hikers and looking for wilderness experiences, all the while serving the greater good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There's something that can spark our imaginations when we think about the fire lookouts, and the people who spent their summers alone, high above the valley floor. What a unique experience it must have been, but certainly not suited to the faint of heart. What thigh muscles they must have had - trekking down to get water to haul back up to their mountaintop homes. ha!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And when I started to do a bit of research, I discovered some interesting facts pertinent to the Stehekin valley, and the Pacific Northwest. I have always understood that the fire lookouts were for the specific purpose of having high elevation observers able to report undetected fires to authorities. Early detection and quick response were the objective.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was fascinated to discover that in the 1940's, during WWll, fire lookouts were built and/or recommissioned for a different service. They served as Aircraft Warning Stations (AWS), and Stehekin's sentinel, McGregor, was used for that purpose in 1942. Ultimately, it wasn't ideally suited for the purpose because it would often be enveloped in cloud. (more historical information about McGregor Mountain Lookout can be found <a href="http://willhiteweb.com/washington_fire_lookouts/mcgregor_mountain_trail/fire_lookout_237.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There was another AWS located near War Creek - which is up above Stehekin Landing, near Purple Pass. These photos, which were shared with us this summer, are believed to be from Boulder Butte, which is approximately 1/4 mile hike above the pass.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My father-in-law, Ray Courtney, spent one summer as the Fire Lookout on Goode Mountain. He taught himself to play the guitar that summer. Unfortunately, I have never seen a picture of that particular lookout. If any of our readers have any photos from the era of the fire lookouts in this area, we would be love to have them shared with us. We are very interested in archiving historical photos that capture the history of Stehekin and its surroundings. Thank you!</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">edited to add: the lookout photos in this post are believed to be Boulder Butte Lookout. These were generously shared with us by Karen Brockman, whose father spent his summer as a lookout while he was in college (probably 1932 or 33).</span></i>Stehekin Communityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00335228900158367109noreply@blogger.com0
