HUCKLEBERRY FINN
LIVING IN OREGON

Huckleberry Finn, the famous
character in Mark Twain's stor-
les of Mississippi river travel, has
celebrated his Goth birthday on
his turpentine farm near Eu-
gene.
Robust and toughened by his
hard outdoor life, he is as active
today as in the old days when he
and Mark Twain and Tom Saw
yer manned the Grey Eagle, the
fastest steamboat on the Missis-
sippi In the days of long ago.
For forty-five years Huckleberry
has been a character Of the Nc
Kenzie river.
To his intimate friends he tells
of his boyhood days on the Mis-
sissippi farm, near that of Glenn
ems, of his rough life on the
river before and during the war,
and how he finally crossed the
plains and the Rockies to find
himself on the Mckenzie river
without money and looking for
a place to winter.
In telling how he got the
name "Huckleberry," he relates
to a racket on the Grey Eagle,
on which he was first mate.
"You see, II everything didn't go
right, | was the 'huckleberry.'
That's what we called q man
who gets In between a fight.
Jumped down from the quarter
deck and knocked them apart.
Here the old man held up two
! mutilated hands. According to
: his story, Clemens, Sawyer and
l himself bought the Grey Eagle
: and fitted her up. In a race on
the river, Clemens piloted the
4 craft to victory.
!. Finally the government
A bought the boat, according tc
y his story, and the owners driftet
I westward. Clemens stopped al
Denver, he said, to write books
Sawyer went up to st. Paul, but
/" y Finn kept on toward the North
! west. He was accompanied b!
: his wife and six children. ant
. the outfit included two mules
two horses but no money. Fini
was the first settler on the Nc
d Kenzle, according to his story.

SEVEN TO SEVEN TIE

The Toledo-Siletz ball game
had to be called in the twelfth
inning last Sunday on account
of rain, the score standing Z to
Z. At the end of the ninth in
ming the score was 4 and 4. In
the tenth Siletz made a score
and so did Toledo. In the 18th
Siletz made two and so did Tole-
do. Along about the eighth
frame one of the Siletz boys
knocked one that looked good
for a home run, the ball landing
in the middle of the slough way
out behind left field, but Clyde
Mcmillan, our left fielder, seeing
the runner was gong to score
plunged into the water, got the
ball, and threw the man out.
Center pitched the entire II
innings for Toledo and was In
good shape when the game
ended.
