FIFTY YEARS MAKE
CHANGES IN LYNDEN
Aunt Phoebe Judson Circles Dis
trict And Views Effects OF Half
Century

The LINDEN district has changed
since its babyhood days
of forty-seven years ago, declares
aunt" Phoebe Judson, who circled
over the entire locality last week on
little inspection tour.
my grandson, Edward McTaggart,
and his wife and little daughter, OF
Anacortes, were up to see me week
or so ago." said Mrs. Judson today,
land in their new ear, l travelled ar
ound the district seeing more of 1t
than had done for many years.
81 was pleased to view so many
improvements. 1t hardly seemed,
with its fertile farms and busy mills,
the same country which | first saw
forty-seven years ago this spring. At
that time, it was all swampy and COW
cred with large forests. While then
I was the only white woman here,
now. there are happy homes on all
sides.
1.-The scenery was just as beautiful
as ever; 1T was partly because OF the
scenery, the Nooksack river and the
snow covered mountains, that we de-
sided to stay here. 1t was some time
later that | named the little town
"Lynden."
While we were out riding last
week. the clouds lifted and the can
adian mountains and Mt. Baker and
he others showed in all their beauty
after | got home, began to think
about the changes which have been
made in LINDEN during the last half
century. Instead of the privations
of frontier life, the people have the
conveniences of the city with the com
forts of the country. And when
think that the improvements will be
Increased far more rapidly during
the next fifty years, l am glad that
| have lived and toiled here. The
little town that l have always loved
is a good place in which to live. And
as | sit at my window watching the
busy, happy people go by, feel that
life has been rich for me.
"In thinking about this, remem-
bered a poem which Kathie Moore,
sister of Mrs. C. l.. Judson, wrote
for me while she was visiting me,
and I thought that others might en-
10y reading it. Miss Moore, who lives
in York, Pa, taught about the second
term i'm the district school here.
"The following are two closing
stanzas from her poem:
Where is all the deadly fear
That once filled the region here?
Where the forests dense and high?
Where the wild beasts proving
nigh?
Where the cruel Indian brave
From whose hand no power could
save?
Did l live in those dread days?
Did l tread those dangerouse
ways?
Did 1 toll, these wilds to clear?
Did | help these homes to rear?
Peacefully the twilight falls,
Sweet and clear the church bell
calls;
Der the snow-capped mountains
crown
The first faint star is cleaning
down.
Can earth show a scene more fair
Than this spot to me so dear,
Carven from the wilderness!
Joy, it's portion. now, and peace,
But twas purchased through long
years,
With the blood of pioneers.

wrecked. The injured:
Privates Oakley, Boomer, McGrew

Nelson was killed outright, while

early in 1916. On this site a mess hall
had been erected.
