Outfit for Emigrants— V 015.,: of Cattle is Oregon
—Wagons—The proper time for Emigrants to
start--Mode of Tra*cl—Do (Moe., ke.
JAMES G BENNETT, ESQ:.—
Dear Sir:—The proper outfit for emigrants is
matter of very great importance, as upon it depends
the ease of the journey. As little as we' knew about
the matter, we were well enough prepared to get here,
all safe, and without much suffering on the mad. I
would even be most willing to travel the same road
twice over again, had I the means to purchase cattle
in the States; and Mrs B. (who performed as much
labor on the road as any collet woman,) would most
gladly undertake the trip again. There is agood deal
of labor to perform on the road, but the weather is so
dry and the air so pure and pleasant, and your appetite
so good, that the labor becomes easy. I had more
pleasure in eating on this trip than I ever did in the
same before, which would have been greater had it not
been for the eternal apprehension of difficulties ahead.
Whether we were to leave our wagons, or whether we
were to be out of provisions, was all uncertain, and
kept us in a state of painful suspense. This watts of
uncert4inty cannot exist again, as the way is broken
and conclusively shown to be pract icuble. The sedge,
which was a great impediment to us, we broke down
completely, and left behind us a good wagon road,
smooth and easy. Those who come after us will be
better prepared, and they will have no apprelaensien
about a scarcity of provisions. There is not the
slightest danger of starvation, and not the least dan
ger of suffering, if even ordinary care is taken. Emi
grants may now come, knowing that the property they
start with they can bring clear through; and when they
reach here it will be wonh about twice, and some of
it (all their cattle) four times as much as it was when
they left the States.

Then , is no danger of suffering fur water, as you
will find it every evening, and always good, except per ,
haps at one or two places—not mere; and by filling a
,four gallon keg every morning, you have it convenient
all day. Fuel on the way isscarce at some points, but
we never suffered for want of fuel. Ycu travel up or
down streams nearly all the way, you will find dry w its
lows, which make en excellent fire, and where you
find no willows the sedges answers all purposes.,—
Nothing burns more brilliantly than the sedges' even
the green seems to burn almost as readily as the dry,
and it catches as quick as dry shavings, hut does not
makes as`good coals to conk with is the willows.—
The wagons for this ttip should be two horse wagons,
plain yankee beds, the running gears made of good ma
tea ial, and fine workmanship. with falling tongues; and
all in a state of good repair. ft few extra iron bolts,
linchpins, skanes, paint bands, for the axle, one
cold chisel, a few pounds of wrought nails, assorted,
several papers of cut tacks, and some hoop iron, and
a punch for making holes in the hoop iron, a few class
els, handsaw, drawing knife, axes, and tools generally,
it would be well to bring, especially augers, as they
may be needed on the way for repairing. All light
tools that a man has, that dues rot weigh too much,
he ought to bring. Falling tongues are greatly sup..
rior to others, though both will do. You frequently
pass across hollows, that have very steep, but short
: hanks, where falling tongues are preferable, and
there are no trees on the way to break them. The
wagon sheets should be double, and Dot painted. as
that makes them break. 3 lie wagon bows should be
well made anti strong, and it is best to have side boards
and have the upper edge of ti a wagon body levelled
outwards, so that the water running down the wagon
sheet, when it strikes the body, may run down on the
outside. And it is well to have the bottom of the bed
bevelled in the same way, that the water may not run
inside the wagon. Having your wagons well prepared,
they are as secure, almost, as a house. Tents and wags
on sheets are best made of heavy brown cotton drilling.
and will last well all the way. They should be well
fastened down.
When you reach the mountains, if your wagons are
not well made of seasoned timber, the tires become
This is very easily repaired by taking the hoop
ion, taking the nails out the tire , and driving the hoop
iron under the tire and between it and the fellow; the
tire you punch, and make holes through the hoop iron
and drive in your nails, and all will be tight. Anoth
er mode of tightning the tire, which answers very well,
is to drive pine wedges crosswise underit, which holds
it tight. If your wagons are even ordinarily good the
tire will never become loose, and you will not perhaps
have to repair any on the whole trip. Any wagon that
will perform a journey from Kentucky to Nlissouri,will
stand the trip well. There are many wagons in Ore
gon, brought through last year, that are both old and
very ordinary. is much easier to repair a wagon OR
the way than yst would suppose. Beware of heavy
wagons, as they break down your teams for no purpose, •
awl you will not need them. Light wagons will car
ry all you want, as there is nothing to break them doWy
no logs, no sumps, no rock, until you get more than
halfway, when your load is so much reduced, that there
is then no danger. You see no stumps on the roadun
til yeti get to Berm river, and very few there, and so
rock until you get into the Black Hills, and only there
for a short distance, and not bad, aid then you will are
none until you reach the Great Soda Spring, en Beat
"ver—at least, none of any consequence. If an indi
vidual should have several wagons, some good and
some urdinary, lie might start with all of them: and his
ordinary wagons will go to the mountains, where his
load will be so reduced that his other wagons will do.
It is not necessary to bring along an extra axle-tree, u
you will rarely break one. A few pieces of well sea- ,
soned hickory, for the wedges and the like, you ought
to bring.
TEAMS.—The best teams for the trip are ex teams.
Let the oxen bo from three to five years old, well
set, and compactly built; just such oxen as ate best foe
use at home. They should not be too heavy, as their
feet sill not bear the trip so well. But oxen six,
seven and eight years old, some of them very large,
stood the trip last year very well, but not so well is
general as the younger and lighter ones. Young cows
make just as good a team as any. It is the travel and
not the pulling that tires your team, until after you
reach Fort Hall. If you have cows for a team it re
quires more of them in bad roads, but they stand the
trip equally well, if not better, than oxen. lYe fully
tested the ox and mule teams, arid we found the ox
teams greatly superior. One ox will pull as much as
two mules, and, in mud, as much as four. They ere
more easily managed, are not so subject to be lost we
broken down on the way. cost less at the start, and
are worth about four times as much here. The ox is
a most noble animal, patient. thrifty, durable, gentle.
and easily driven, and does nut run off. Those who
come to this country will be in love with their oxen by
the time they reach here. The ox will plunge through
mud, swim over streams, drive into thickets, and
climb mountains to get at the grass, and be will eat
almost any thing. Willows they eat with greet free-
diness on the way; and it is text to impossible to draws
an ox.
I would advise all emigrants to bring all the cattle
they can procure, to this country, and all bonnet, as
they will with pi °per care, staid the trip well. We
found a good horse to stand the trip as well as a male.
Horses need shoeing. but oxen du not. I bad oat show

the road are exceedingly useful, as they give an abaft.
