Oldest White Woman.

The recent meeting of the pioneers
of Oregon at Portland brought out
nothing more interesting than the
discovery of the oldest white woman
born and living west of Mississippi
river. Her name is Mrs. Adrian La
Chapelle. She was born at Vancouv-
er in 1921. The peculiar part Of IL
is that she has been living at st.
Louis, Or, or Butteville, for the
past 40 years, and it was not until
last week that her existence became
known to the Oregon Historical So
ciety or the Pioneers association.
Some men have honors thrust up-
on them and others buy members of
the legislature.

have cottages. There are already a
number of beautiful homes at Mes
kowin. Among these is the cottage
Of ]. H. McCorkle and family of
Silverton who have made their home
here for eight years. 1t is sur
rounded by parklike grounds and a
wide road leads through the old
Salem camp grounds. The Unruhs
of North Salem have a pretty sum
mer cottage. d. ]. Fry, a wealthy
Salem business man has occupied
Comfort Lodge with his family here
for many years. A social history of
Salem could be composed out of the
life and experiences of Capital City
people who have for many years
made this their summer home.
A Romantic Fark.
The Neskowin Company are con-
verting Proposal Rock into a little
wonderland of beauty. 1t is a rocky
promontory of three and half acres
and 1872 feet high and at low tide is
accessible from the land side. It is
covered with shrubery and parklike
trees, decorated with all kinds If
flowers and on its rocky sides are
found petrified stumps and trunks
of trees. Winding trails have been
built over Proposal Rock and there
is a magnificent view of the ocean
from it's summit. How any young
man, fit to be at large without q
guardian, could wander over this
rock and not make all
kinds of a matrimonial ventures Is
incomprehensible.
Substantial improvements.
The Neskowin Company is not p
mere summer resort on paper, but is
doing everything in a substantial
and permanent manner. They have
put in a sawmill that is cutting
10000 feet of lumber per day. A
purchaser of lots can get rough lum-
ber for $40 per thousand and dressed |
building material for SIS to $40 per
thousand. The company has forty
people working on their improve
ments at Neskowin. B. . Stephens, !
manager of the sawmill, is an old
Salem boy, a son of ]. S. Stephens
and a grandson of Adam Stephens,
who erected one of the first saw
mills in Marion County.
The mild sheltered side of this
'uture summer resort city permits Of
gardens being made and fruit being
grown right down to the edge of the
ocean sands. Among other improve
nents there is to be plank promen-
lde on the ocean beach twelve feet
vide and a mile long.
Ideal Children,s Resort.
Entire absence of quicksands AMI
10 high banks for children to fall
