Mrs. Ives came to this section 56 years ago. The article follows: Lee and Rena Ives saw what was to be Ives Landing and later Pateros, on June 16, 1886 when their pack train with 16 horses came to the Methow River. It is here that Rena Ives spent her entire life with the exception of two and a half years. Mrs. Ives says that her first glimpse of what is now Pateros showed no houses - just sagebrush and cayuses. She says there were lots of Indians, but that they were good Indians and gave the settlers no trouble. For her first five years in Washington, horses were the only means of transportation, and she loved to ride. Mrs. Ives says now with a chuckle that she would still ride if she could stay on. It was Rena Ives' side saddle that was ridden by Mrs. Annie Cutts the day of the Brewster Bridge was offically opened. Then came the boars, docking just where the Columbia iver turned into the Methow. The boats went as far as Riverside simetimes, but not always. With this new transportation came the need for a hotel and in 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Ives built a hotel. All of the lumber came to Pateros from Wenatchee by boat. Mrs. Ives likes the boats. She says, "They were all the comfort we had." She rather wishes that occasionally a boat would come up the Columbia again. Dances were held in the hotel at Pateros. At least once the town of Brewster chartered a boat and went to the dance. Everybody came that could dance and the party lasted until far into the morning. Mrs. Ives says, " I was always too busy cooking and getting ready for the breadfasts to dance, but once in awhile I could waltz." "Sixty-three guests were the most that I ever had at one time in the hotel," remembers Mrs. Ivs, "and that was when Col. Hart caeme to go up the Methow to the mine. The hotel was not finished and it was neccessary to make the colonel a bed on a counter. He was a big man and I don't suppose he was too comfortable but he did not complain. In those days one just carwled up the Methow, there was practically no trail, so I am sure that Col. Hart would have thought the counter comfortable on his way down from the mine. There was a little town at Squaw Creek and soon after the Ives came to Pateros a school was built at Squaw Creek. Mrs. Ives says that the only time she spent away from Pateros was one year at Conconully and one year at Central Ferry and six months at Loomis. During the time she lived in Loomis she ran the hotel there. Mrs. Bolinger came into Loomis and was married in Ruby during the time I was there, and Dan Gamble stopped at the Ives hotel on his first trip into the country," Mrs. Ives said. On the 27th day of May of this year, Mrs. Ives was 85 years old. She is a grand example of the people who have pioneered our country and hewed their homes from the wilderness, and we do ??? honor as a pioneer.
