They Balanced.

The 0regonian recently endeavored to
show how the mortgage Indebtedness
was being reduced in Oregon. The Eu
gene Guard gives the exact situation,
which is no doubt about that OF Linn
and other counties:
The amount OF releases in Lane county
was 1901 ,0v0.
The Oregonian statistics, however, are
incomplete, AMI have a tendency to de-
ceive the public as TO the financial status
of the state, inasmueh as it did not give
a summary oil mortgages fled and re-
corded. A reporter OF the Guard has
gone through the mortgage recor Is oil
Lane coun " and finds that from Dec. /,
1896, to Dec. |, 1897 mortgages upen real
estate were recorded for the sum OF $685..
6l5. Conceding the list published by
the Oregonisn to be correct, this shows
there was practically no increase OF mort
gage indebtedness during the year.

MONDAY
APIONEER OF 1888

Mr.. q. Fl. Walker received telephone
message last evening from Forest Grove,
Washington Co Ore, informing him
that his mother Mrs. Mary r. Walker,
died Sabbath morning. the 5th inst.
Mrs. Walker is the last of the earlier
pioneer missionaries She crossed the
plains with her husband Rev. Elkanah
Walker, in the summer of 1888, making
the journey on horseback There came
with them Rev. Gushing Eells and wife,
Rev. H. B. Smith and Mr.. W. H. Gray
and wife. They left the east, Mr.. and
Mrs Walker starting from Maine. in
March and reached Whitman's Aug. %,
1888.
The succeeding winter was spent ct
Whitman's, where Cyrus n. was born
De:. Z, 1888, and was named after Rev.
Cyrus Hsmlin who was his fathers class
mate in Bangor, (Me.) Theological Sem
mary.
Messrs. Walker and EeIs with their
wives, started the mission amUrg the
Spokane indians in the oriDg OF 1889.
Here they remained until the spring of
184S, when they abandoned that mission
on account of the massacre of DIR. Whit
man and others, the fiftieth anniversary
of which was celebrated week ago az
Walla Walla. Removing to the William
cite valley, the Walkers made their home
in Oregon City from June f2, 1848, 10
Oct 25, I849 Leaving that place on
that date they reached Forest Grove Oct.
26,where they found permanent home.
Here Rev Elkanah Walker died Nov
81, 1877, and his beloved and widowed
companion has followed him little more
than twenty years after, over eighty-six
years of age.
Mr.. Walker left for Forest Grove this
afternoon to attend the funeral of his
m7ther, which takes place tomorrow,
Mr.. Walkers fifty-ninth birthday, very
sad one for him
How impressiyely do such deaths call
to mind the language used in Rev. IA :l3.
"And heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me, "Write. Blessed are the dead
which die IN the Lord from henceforth ::
Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors; and their works do
follow them"
