LETTER FROM OREGON
Wildwood School Pupils Ex-
change Communications With
Western Pupils

The pupils of the Wildwood Gram
mai school received this week twenty
letters from pupils of the Central
school of Eugene, Oregon, In reply to
those sent from here recently.
This work was taken up by the
Wild wood pupils in order to come in
closer contact with conditions and in
dustries of western life.
The letters received We're written by
seventh grade pupils and contain some
very interesting facts. Postal cards
of views are being exchanged.
The first few letters are to be under
the supervision of the teachers but later
the correspondence will be at the option
of the pupils.
Below is a copy of one of the letters
The writer sent many clippings Of
views of the natural wonders of Oregon
which when mounted will make a fine
booklet.

Dear Friend: | am in the seventh
grade of the Central school. Eugene,
Lane county, Oregon.
The mountains along our coast have
the heaviest rainfall in the state, some
times more than 100 inches falling
during the year. The broad valley be-
tween the Cascade and Coast noun
tains is drained by numerous streams
and the rainfall is plenty but not ex-
cessive. The climate of this country is
much like hat of many parts OF Eng
land. ,
In the Willamette Valley wheat
growing forms the chief occupation but
is gradually giving place to dairying,
fruit growing and general farming.
Alfalfa grows so fast that three and
sometimes four crops are cut in a single
year. Beef cattle are fattened and
dairy herds, sheep and breeding stock
are fed on alfalfa hay during the win
ter and dry lessons.
Fine breeds of cattle, horses, sheep
and goats are reared.
The wool of the goat is known on the
marketlas mohair. Oregon is the lar
gest mohair producing state in the
Union.
Pears, apples, prunes, peaches,
wheat, barley, flax, gold, silver, lum-
Der, coal.and nickel are produced by
our state.
Eugene has the University of Oregon
which has a large number of students
in. [ I'M sending you a post card of
the buildings.
/ will close for this time hoping to
hear from you soon.
| am yours truly,

Santa In Grass Valley

everybody gets Christmas gifts. There
Is no child so poor as to be disap-
pointed when Santa passes his boun-
ties around, and, for that matter, no
grown person either. Twenty-Five years
ago Mrs. Hansen of Grass Valley was
az. invalid, confined to her chair at the
window of her cottage. She watched
the school children troop by. Some OF
them were s~cantily clad and looked
i'll nourished. The good woman for
passion for the unfortunate little ones.
She suggested that on the last day
of school before the Christmas holt
days each child should bring to school
something to give away to others. II
need not be anything big or costly
just whatever the child could spare.
A committee was to distribute the
things where they were most needed
So many little ones and their parents
were made happy the first Christmas
that Grass Valley adopted the idea per
manently. Now for a quarter of a
century Mrs. Hansen's improved Santa
Claus system has been in working or

herself was released from her chair o.
pain and laid to rest in the town GENE
