| 651 | PASTORALISTS There is printed and published in America a wonderful monthly entitled "The National Geographic Magazine. The subjects dealt with include almost every country from Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn, from London to Lapland and from Skye to the Croettes. Only a privileged few can obtain the magazine, which is very high priced and contains some of the most beautiful as well as intensely Interesting pictures and articles. Some time ago Squatter Paddy Duarck saw a copy of it and noting that it was of supreme value sent a subscription and in time was allowed to nominate a few friends as eligible to be allowed to subscribe. He sent in the names of half a dozen of his squatter friends, Including Charlie Atkins , Bill Cream, Jimmy Nicholas , Alec McLeod Felix Edgar and others. When recommending them he named them as "pastoralists which they all are. In three months the the first copies came to hand, to the various squatters. The address on each was "The Reverend Chas. Atkins, the Reverend William Cream, the Reverend James Nicholas, the Reverend Alexander McLeod, the Reverend Felix Edgar, the Reverend Gordon Gooch, the Reverend William. Burges, and so on. The receivers of the magazines mistook it for a Yankee joke, but an American soon undeceived them. In the U.S.A. a pastor is the common name for a clergyman, and pastoralist appealed to them as being a super sky pilot! | Cream, William (Bill) (I8)

| 666 | SUDDEN DEATH AT MECKERING! A POSTMASTER EXPIRES. Under painfully unexpected and sudden circumstances the death occurred at Meckering yesterday of Mr Thomas Markey, postmaster at Meckering. During the morning he performed his postal duties apparently in the best of health. At about H.30 a.m.,'however, the attention of a junior assistant was directed to the peculiar position of his chief who had fallen forward across his table with his head in his hands. Another assistant hurried to Mr Markey's side to ascertain the cause of peculiar attitude and was just in time to catch Mr Markey's prostrate form in his arms as he was about to fallback upon the floor. Assistance was called and Dr Frost was summoned from Northam, arriving at about one o'clock. Mr Markey was Unconscious from the time of his sudden seizure until the time of his death which occurred at 3 o'clock. The cause of death was a paralytic stroke. Deceased had been in Meckering a few years and had made many friends, being popular in sporting and social circles. He leaves a widow and three children to mourn their loss. The funeral will take place at Mekering this afternoon the remains being interred in the Anglican portion of the local cemetery. SUDDEN DEATH AT MECKERING: (1916, May 12).

| 667 | Summary The map below has been laid out showing each days travel using 2 different colours. Clicking on the track line will load the days travel summary from his published journals. Hooleys Route Hooley essentially followed Gregory's surveyed route from the Geraldine Mine on the Murchison River. One notable detour he made to shorten the route was to travel in a more northerly direction at where the Beringarra-Byro rd crosses the Murchison River. Something to note in his journal is the observation of semi permanent pools of water near Mt Augustas. Mistakenly some of these pools have been called Cattle Pool. Edward Hooley did not actually get all his sheep to Nichol Bay, but only made it as far as the Fortescue River. Actually just a little bit west of the Fortescue River Roadhouse. Upon reaching here he rode to Nicol Bay and bought extra help to the camp. Then Hooley and Burges moved their sheep from that camp to Nicol Bay. Hooley then retraced his track back to Champion Bay. He is credited with finding the route from the Lyons River to the Ashburton. This tributary became known as the Henry River. It was found to later be unsuitable due to the rocky nature of the river bed. The gazetted stock route followed a more accessible route. Upon his return to Champion Bay, Hooley acquired a piece of land that became known as Minderoo Station. He then followed the same route except when he came to the junction of the Landor River and Gascoyne River, instead of heading north east as on his previous trek he followed the Gascoyne River (Gregorys return track) till he hit the what he named Morrisey Creek. He then followed the Morrisey Creek and then veered along another creek following a north westerly direction. He named this creek the Durlacher after the Resident Magistrate in Geraldton. The Durlacher Creek is a tributary of the Lyons River and enters not far from the fork created by the Alma and Lyons Rivers. Using a names database and GIS software reveals that the above deviation was the preferred route rather than the northerly track above Mt Augustas. It is common for the person who dug the well to name the well and along the above deviation are the wells dug by Brockman, Withnell, Hooley Number 8, Stockyard Well and Hooley Number 7 wells. Something to also note is that the original position of Cattle Pool is where the Thirty One River, Gascoyne River and Morrisey Creek fork. There is a Cattle Well just south of the pool that lays in a Public Reserve 699 near Dinner Table Hill. The problem with the above routes were they were too long. As noted in the "History of the North West" written by J S Battye, William Cream is recorded as leaving the Dairy Creek area and travelling to Pindar just to the east of Mullewa. He delivered cattle from McKenzie Grants Degrey Station to his Upper Irwin paddocks in 1890. Mr G J Gooch also proposed this route. A Droving Exploit | Hooley, Edward Timothy (I1)

| 670 | THE DUNDAS GOLDFIELDS FULL REPORT- OF THE VARIOUS LINES OF REEF AT THE NEW FIND 1895 'THE DUNDAS GOLDFIELDS.' , NORSEMAN A RISING FIELD. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS. [By Alfred W B Mather in the Goldfields Courier] No, III. The St Alban's South came next under notice This contains 12 acres, and is owned by Sharpe and party. On the north of the claim' is an immense iron outcrop, and to thoroughly test the various lodes contained therein, a tunnel is being put in the west side of the blow. So far the ground has necessitated a great expenditure in explosives to work it, and 15ft is about the distance gone in, up to the present. The St. Alban's Claim, containing 12 acres owned by Malcolm, Sharpe and party is the original claim on this line of reef. On the surface some of the richest specimens that nave been obtained on the field 'were found, and following them along the party cut a rich cross leader carrying down into the train north and south lode composed of iron stone. A shaft is being put down at the junction of these two to cut them at a depth. So far it is down about 10ft but this is owing to the inability of the party to get their tools through from Esperance until a fortnight since. Last week some more, exceedingly rich stone was found, and when I saw it I should judge a record return for this district could be assayed from it. | Sharpe, John (I45)

Married 52 years ago at Greenough Flats to Mr. Arthur Edwards, the deceased lady spent her early married life on the Pilbara and Murchison Goldfields and claimed to be the only white woman at the Ford's Creek alluvial gold rush on the Ashburton River where there were over 700 diggers. She also experienced station life when her husband owned a sheep station near Roebourne. Mrs Edwards endured many of the hardships in the early days on the Murchison and North West and many times her abilities as an able horsewoman were severely tested. By her demise Western Australia has lost another one of those who never thought any task too great or a day too long. She leaves a husband, son, two daughters, nineteen grandchildren and a brother, to mourn their loss. The chief mourners were Mr. A. J. Edwards (husband), Mesdames Ray Edwards and Karl Wroth (daughters). Mr. K. Wroth (son-in-law), Mrs. James Edwards (daughter-in-law), Miss Annie Edwards (sister-in-law). Mr. T.

| 680 | THE LATE WILLIAM WOOLHOUSE. (See Illustrations.) The late William Woolhouse, of Osmond Farm, Goomalling, whose photograph appears elsewhere was a son of the late George Woolhouse, who came from England to Western Australia in the sailing ship Trusty in 1844, and eventually became one of the pioneers of the Northam district. The subject of our notice was born at Northam on March 17, 1849, and received his education at a local school. He began active life on his father's farm at Geraldton, where he continued until 24 years of age. Then in company with his brother, he penetrated into the interior of the North-West, and there established the Robe River station, one of the pioneer enterprises of the district. In this venture Mr. Woolhouse displayed all those qualities of grit and endurance which marked most of the early settlers. Leaving Geraldton with a party of thirteen, and stock consisting of 380 head of cattle and 120 horses, they reached the Lyons River, but owing to the great drought which set in were compelled to leave the cattle at Mount Thompson. The two brothers returned to Champion Bay, meeting en route on the Upper Murchison the ill-fated Clarkson's party, the leader of which, Henry Clarkson, had been killed by natives some few months earlier. Returning in the following December to collect the cattle they found that the natives had disturbed and killed a large proportion of the herd, and only 122 were brought in at the muster. These they took to Champion Bay, and the following year (1876) again started with 2,400 sheep, which they successfully overlanded to the station, being favoured by a good season and a plentiful supply of water. A succession of good seasons followed and the station prospered until 1892, when the North-West was visited by a severe drought, and the Woolhouse brothers were forced to dispose of their interests in the district. The station is now held by the Murray Pastoral Company. The brothers were successful breeders of thoroughbred horses, and with Gratitude won the Queen's Plate, for which event the mare was trained by Mr. W. Woolhouse, who also rode her to victory in the race. Leaving the North-West he returned to Northam and was droving stock for a number of years, until 1909, when he took up farming pursuits at Goomalling. In early life Mr Woolhouse gave considerable attention to sport, and was an amateur jockey of some repute, bringing several horses successfully to the winning post. He married Mary, the daughter of the late Mr William Waldeck, of the Greenough Flats, and leaves a son and daughter. | Woolhouse, Willam (I5)

| 683 | There is at present in Perth a hardy bustler, whose record amongst horses, camels, bovines and other implements of travel and food it would be hard to beat. Name, Otto Baumgarten, German descent, Australian born, and kangaroo by love of country. O.B. has twice traversed right across W. A. to the South Australian border, having been chief stockman (in charge of horses and camels) with the Canning Expe- dition and also with the Pilmer Dis- persal Party. Went through on both trips with a maximum amount of success and a minimum loss of animais. Listening to Otto Baumgarten telling some of the experiences on both these trips (albeit he is anything but a garrulous man), and the young, middle-aged. and otherwise blood within you will curdle in its courses. He has been a buyer of live beef and mutton for several big Australian firms, and though between 46 and 50 can throw rope, sit and break any outlaw as well as the next best Chronicler of this par saw. Baumgarten recently took charge of a brumby that had threatened to kill its owner, and B gave an impromptu exhibition that made a Pit of experts stand from under. Amongst the highest admirers of O.B. are Police Commissioner Council and Explorer Canning, a guarantee that the State has in it men who can well displace the Afghan in the working of the dromedary, an animal that was for a long time thought to be the especial preserve of the sons of Asia. | Baumgarten, Otto Andrew (I384)
