CARRIES Her APRON
WHEREVER She GOES
1t Represents the Tragedy Of
a True Love

Bristol, Tenn, July 28-The agent
at Paw Pad, little station on the Big
Sandy and Cumberland railroad i'll
Virginia, confessed that he was start
led when an elderly woman, with q
rather sad expression, stepped up 70
the ticket window and called for a
ticket to a little town back in East
Tennessee.
'And please tell me-" she added,
pointing to a coffin on the platform
just outside the window, what will
it cost me to express my coffin
The agent had seen the coffin prior
to this, but presumed that it contain
ed a body. But there was more of a
romance in the affair than he had
surmised. The woman was Eliza Dot
son, aunt Liza" as she was familiar
ly known among her kin and friends
in several Southern state, where she
has for fifteen years been familiar
figure carrying with her the coffin
wherever she CHANGED to go.
Aunt Liza had met with disappOint-
ment back in the days of her youth,
when love was young and susceptible
to lasting impressions. Back there
she loved a young man, brave and
true, and he was devoted to her. But
this young man had a mountain rival,
and jealousy found its way into the
heart and soul of this rival. One eve
ming while "Aunt Liza" then a belle
of the mountain regions, and much
admired by all the boys, was seated
under a familiar tree, back in Buch-
anan county, Va, with her beau, this
jealous lover shot ELIAS idol from
ambush and he fell forward and died
in the girls arms.
Miss Dotson brooded over the sad
fate of her young lover for many
years. Meanwhile gray hairs, those of
afe mingled with those of disappoint-
ment, came, but she never for a mo-
ment forgot the tragic scene under
the trysting tree. Finally she con-
ceived the idea of having a coffin
made for herself from the tree which
signified so much to her, keeping
alive the memory of childhood love
and its bitter disappointment. The
tree was cut down, sawed into boards,

Fifty years ago today, if we may
judge by the newspapers of the time,
New York was divided into warning
camps. The downfall of Fort Sump-
ter had convinced many Of the advo-
Gates Of peace that was had become
inevitable. but there were in the me-
tropolis thousands of others who
continued to clamor for peace at any
price. Lincoln's call for troops was
denounced in many quarters as un-
wise and unnecessary. There was still
another party who. forgetting that
southerners were Anglo-Saxons and
Americans and necessarily as good
fighters as any in the world, ridcul-
ed the proclamation calling for 75,-
600 men, and one New York paper
called upon the mayor of the city to
"call out the police reserves and send
them south to put down the rebel
lion" A few months later that same
"moulder Of public opinion" was
singing another song.

The 10-acre unit is becoming popu-
lar. The man who farms this much
land successfully must of necessity
be a specialist. For some industries,
notably dairying and livestock, more
land is desirable, but for fruit. truck
gardening and other forms of inten-

good living.
The best answer to the natural
question of the newcomer as to what
can be done on a small acreage is to

IS PROSPEROUS YEAR
FOR CITY OF LONDON

London.-It is calculated that this
will be one Of the most prosperous
Years London has seen in several
decades. Toward the latter part Of
June money will veritably flow like
water. The government will have
spent $1,0O0,O00 on the coronation, a
big sum within itself, yet only a tri-
file when compared with the amount
that will be spent from all sources.
Probably 25.000 people at least will
come from the continent, from the
colonies India the United States and
all quarters of the earth. Many of
these will be immensely wealthy, and
with their expenditures in hotels, on
amusements, in purchases of pictures.
antiques, jewelry and clothing, their
total outlay will run into millions.
Then London has her own wealthy
citizens, who will spend lavishly on
clothes, in entertaining. at theaters
and in a dozen other ways. And last
ly, there will be an immense con-
course of London holiday makers and
provincial visitors.
1t is estimated that 1000 wealthy
visitors, many of whom are Ameri-
cans occupying houses here to en-
tertain during the coronation season,
will spend $50,00O,000. Estimates
place the total amount that will be
spent at $21O,455,OOO. The estimates
are placed that 10000 wealthy Brtons
will spend $50,0OO,OOO or about $5,-
600 each.
The first court has been fixed for
Tuesday. May 9, and it is to be al
most exclusively diplomatic and off
cial The whole of the corps diplo-
matique will attend and the only
general presentations will be of ladies
who are entitled to tn eprivileg of
the entree. All the members of the
royal family, who are in England,
will be present at this court. The sec
oud court, which is to be held on the
following night, will be for presenta-
tions from the general company. The
third and fourth courts are to be
held later in May.

l. the Metropolis of the Tualatin Val
ley-Situatcd i'm Rich Section of the
State-Many improvements in Pro-
grcss.

North Plains, Ore.-SiXty days ago
North Plains, Oregon's newest town,
had population of less than a dozen
persons and on the tOwnste stood a
frame building, a tent and the frame
work for the water tower. Sunday,
April IS, North Plains safely claimed
permanent population of 200 with
40 buildings complete or nearly so.
Streets are graded, sidewalks laid, wa
ter and lighting systems available to
all town property and portions of the
acreage and several brick buildings
completed.
North Plains is a necessity. Port
land business men realized this when
they formed an excursion party to
the new town two weeks ago and as
sisted the citizens in the organization
of the North Plains Commercial club,
the latest addition to the Oregon De-
velopment league. In sixty days
North Plains has added two lumber
yards, a creamery, brick plant, fruit
cannery, meat packing plant, coal and
wood yards with several new indus
tries completed.
The town of North Plains is the
metropolis of the Tualatin valley, one
of the richest sections of the state,
but which has been without transpor-
tation until the building of the United
Railways. \ tunnel 400 feet was
built through solid rock to maintain
uniform grade and permit the fast
running trains from Portland. With
in radius of few miles of North
Plains are $4,000 acres of fertile soil
5000, 100000 feet of fine timber and
several thousand acres that can be
devoted 20 fruit culture. Large farms
are being subdivided into tracts Of
from one to ten acres with view of
settling up the valley.
North Plains is already getting
ready for an agricultural fair and
celebration July 4.

REAL TILLERS DO
BEST ON 10 ACRES

Probably the most hopeful tend
ency in agriculture in the Willamette
valley today, believes Manager Chap
man of the promotion committee OF
the Portland Commercial club, is the
breaking up of the large farm into
smaller acreage. This means a denser
population, improved social conditions,
more scientific care of the soil. more
products and a tremendous gain in
wealth.
Economic waste, he believes, has
marked Willamette Valley tillage
heretofore. Pioneers naturally Sc
cured and held large farms; they
We're mostly grain growers and some
still stick to this crop almost eXclu-
sively. Modern agriculturists say that
this is wrong. A country such as the
willamette valley, with a favorable
climate for wide diversity of crops
and with soil the depth and strength
of which is hardly equaled anywhere,
is fit for better things. The old far
ming system was a cruel waste in that
it exhausted the soil and the returns
were far short Of the possibilities.
Western Oregon is naturally the
place for the small farm. With the
passing of the sturdy pioneers and
the higher valuations of farm lands,
| the thousand-acre holdings are being
| broken up into small ltracts to the
| immense advantage of the state. The
interurban electric lines have proved
n big factor in this transformation.
The natural inquiry is being made
| by those not familiar with VILLAIN
ette valley soil as to what can be
done with a small acreage. This is
the time of the passing of the "land-
| poor" farmer: extensive agriculture
is being supplanted by intensive
methods. TIE Oregon agricultural
college is preaching the economic inn
portance of the fact that the true
measure of the farmer is not how
much land he can till, but how we'll

New York. April 15.-This has
been a week OF memories, sad and
glad. for those who wore the blue or
the gray in the grim battle to the
death that had its origin fifty years
ago. Last Wednesday was the ami
vcrsary of Sumter, and it was exact
ly a half century ago today that Abb
raham Lincoln, at last brought to a
realization that peace was no longer
possible, issued his first proclama-
tion calling for volunteers. This first
call was for $4,000 men-but a hand
full compared with the great army
that later was to hurl itself against
the brave soldiery OF the south
New York was among the first to
respond to the call for troops to put
down the combinations too powerful
to be suppressed by the ordinary
course of judicial proceedings"
words are Lincoln's-and many OF the
bravest and most devoted soldiers
who fought in the war enrolled in the
Twelfth Regiment. Six days after
Lincoln issued his call the gallant
Twelfth left New York for the front,
Haunting flags, keeping time to the
grand. wild music of war-down the
streets of the great city-through the
towns and across the prairies-down
to the fields Of glory, to do and to die
for the eternal right" The semi
centennial Of the leaving of the
Twelfth will be celebrated by the sur
vicors OF the regiment at a banquet
to be given at the Hotel Rector next
Friday evening.

There is always a veied meaning
Woman makes use of letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile

all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
