WiLDA's MOST IMPORTANT
EVENT.

Dear Editor and Juniors
l think Sunday morning, August J.,
was the most important event of that
week There was wreck on the
Milwaukee railroad track, about 8
miles from where we live. 1t happen
ed about 4 o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately there We're no lives lost
1t was freight train and about IA
cars went off the track. Some were
loaded with fruit and soma were load
ed with meat. They saved almost all
of the meat and also some of the
fruit. The wreck took place between
Richland and Libby on the farm adj
joining the place where lived three
years ago. The wreck was caused
by the heat causing the rails to
spread. That is what call the most
important event of the week.

HOME is THE WILLAMETTE.

Dear Editor and Courier Juniors: 1t
has been a long time since wrote to
the Juniors, but live so far away and
| dread to be called a tardy Junior
But l will write you about the river
nearest our home. The name of our
nearest river is the Willamette, and
that is 10 miles from us, at Salem, Ore.
The Willamette is about 1875 miles long
running from the southern part of
Oregon to six miles southwest of Port
land where it empties into the Colum-
bia river The river at Salem is about
600 feet wide and will average about
20 feet deep. The steel bridge crosses
the river from Salem, the capital city,
to the west shore, and is about S5 feet
above the river and about 1000 feet
long. The Willamette river Is navi-
gable for passenger and freight steam
ers from the Columbia to Salem ay
the year round and Is noted for it's
beautiful, clean mountain water.
The river is filed with fish of differ
ent kinds, salmon bass, catfish, trout
and a good many suckers. 1t is also
fine stream for floating logs to saw
mills and there are logs brought to
Salem all the year round, and then
sawed into lumber, cutting about 80
to 100000 feet.
1t is nice stream for boating and
pleasure riding end one can always

THE cHILDRENs' PLAY GROUND.

One day Mildred Coulter and myself
thought we would make a play house
down in the pasture .lnder the willows.
SO we went down and picked out a
spot about IL feet on one side of the
ditch and Is feet on the other side.
So we called our brothers and set to
work making a bridge across the ditch.
We made the bridge and now we are
engaged in making the house. The plan
is to have rooms and to cook out Of
doors on an oil stove. we are going to
make flower beds and have very nice
time.
1 wrote a story to the Courier jun
Tor once before and received postal
for it. like to read the Courier Jun
Tor very much. l am IL years old and

A BIG FIRE kATIE's IMPORTANT
EVENT..

The most important event Of the
week was Monday, when out nice
barn burned down. The fire started
about 2:30 p. M. 1t started at the
straw pile first and it was so close To
the barn, so of course the barn caught
on fire.
So the the first thing to do was to
get the horses out of the barn and bug
gy, planter and some harness, bit we
didn't get half of the things out. Then
all the neighbors came running, but
that was of no use; they couldn't save
the barn. All the people could do
was to save the house and granary
and they just barely saved them.
Three cribs and cowshed burned
down too.
AS the fire started from the road
it just swept everything. Our house
was on fire a good many times, but
they put the fire out every time. We
had every little thing out Of the
house except the carpets. Our barn
was 80 feet wide and 38 feet long and
IA feet high, and basement in it
yet
1t was one of the finest barns in this
neighborhood. The fire was shoulder
ing around here for about week. oh,
tell you that was terrible day for
me! will never forget such an event.
am afraid l got this mixed up be-
cause when think of it 1t just makes

THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT
OF THE WEEK.

Saturday, August 7, the most i'm
portant event of the week took place.
After dinner I sat down by the win
dow to read. Soon l heard somebody
laughing and talking. I looked out to
see who it was. 1t was my little
friends Fay and Madge coming on
horseback. We looked at the postal
cards and some pictures and played
with the baby. We took a lunch out IN
the yard under big elm tree and had
a picnic. We had apples, peaches, ber-
ries and tomatoes. Mamma let us pre-
pare our own lunch. We took just
what we wanted to. While my brother
Evan, Madge and l spread out the
lunch, Fay took baby Kathyrne and
sister Helen a horseback ride. We all
ate with great relish. We looked at the
flowers and then Fay and Madge
went home.

was ready to open it. But as soon as
she left the room Helen went into the
parlor and quickly looked into the par

It was such funny little house!
People who went up and down the
lstreet used to wonder what 1t could
have been built for. 1t wasn't large
ienough for a family of even two to
keep house in. 1t did not look like an
office or a workshop; besides, the
house by which it stood was too hand
some to have workshop on its lawn.
THE door was on the side, and instead
of high porch, there was just one
lstone step before 1t. There was a win

ETHEL,s IMPORTANT EVENT.

Dear Juniors
l thought I would tell you all about
the most interesting event of last
week
To me the greatest evens was the
Chautauqua. I went four days ard
evenings. Bishop Quayle's lecture was
most interesting. Hal Merton, the
ventriloquist was good. The English
bell ringers were fine, but l liked the
Chicago Boys choir the best. So. l
called the Chautauuua the most i'm
portant event of the week for me.
