Falhor Johns of the Arlington Record writes an entertaining sketch of the early trail through Pendleton La Grande and Baker City. He recounts travel in 1863 and 1869 along the Oregon trail to The Dalles and Boise basin with pack trains, freight rates, lack of bridges, and sparse settlements. The piece reflects on how the upper country was seen then and notes DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve sold by Tallman & Co.
