THIRTY YEARS AGO
HOME UNDER WAGON BOX

The following article from the
pen of Mr.. A. House, a pioneer of
the Big Bend country and formerly
resident of Maritime, but now OF
Spokane, will be interesting to
both old and new settlers in this
section.
Thirty years ago the writer first
established his home" under q
wagon box on the place now own
ed by MIR. Duncan, two miles north
of Hartline. Very few of the pres
ent residents on the Ridge or in the
Valley, then spoken of as Poverty
Flat, can realize the changes thai
have taken place there in this time.
Frank Day then kept the Voorhees,
postoffice in log house on the
place now owned by Frank Nc
Cam. Frank and Anthony Rushos
homes, and the log school house
(down in the flat, them were fire.
quently used for dances when not
even the two-step had been invent
ed. The Sherlock brothers, FLYNN
brothers, Higginbotham brothers,
Pat Kelly, Joe Mitchell, Jim Jump,
Tom Wampler, Gus Naught, Crit
Martin and Phillip Young were
some of the pioneers of the Ridge
1t that time. Most of these went
out to rustic" through the harvest
IN the Walla Walla and Palouse
country each summer, in order to
obtain supplies for the following
winter
Down in Paradise Valley, the
Roberts, Williams, Hughes and
Jones met each Sunday at Widow
Jones' place, for Sunday School,
church, and to teach the few chill
dren the Welsh language. At the
literary society, which met at
Father Utfs place, Jim Odgers, Dr.
Husscy, John Hartline, and others
gravely debated woman suffrage
and whether conscience is an in
nate or an acquired faculty. The
only piano west of Davenport war
freighted form Spokane to the
Roberts ranch, and Charities play

visions Of the dear old days back
east" C. C. Ladd, and the writer
taught the first schools at the Vor-
hees, the Flaherty and the Roberts
districts. Rude tables and benches
and ruder blackboards made up the
equipment, and sage brush the only
fuel.
A hurried trip a few days ago
over these same hills that | knew
so well, but seem quite strange to
me now, impress me with the Won
derful changes that men have
wrought in that country in the
short time it has been inhabited.
Small rude shacks have given place
to large, comfortable houses and
fine barns, and luxurious automo-
biles taken the place of cayuses.
There is an enjoyable contrast be-
tween the poverty and loneliness
and privations Of that early day
and the prosperity and comfort and
convenience that are so common
today
What has the next thirty years
in store for the people Of the Ridge
and Paradise Valley? Is it posi-
BILE that any such change can take
place as that we have seen? |
shall attempt but one prediction,
and that is that the present mehod
of establishing roads on section
lines exclusively will give way to
better system where all unneces-
sary grades will be eliminated; also
roads will not necessarily run
straight east, west, north or south,
but in any direction that people
wish TO travel.

SAYS He DISCUSSED
DANISH WEST INDIES
Secretary Lansillg's Call On
Stone Had No Bearing On
Peace Notes
By Robert ). Bender.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent)
Washington, Jan. 3.--Secretary Lans-
ing went to the capitol today and held a
half hour conference with Chairman
Stone of the foreign relations commit
tee.
The secretary refused to discuss his
conference, except to say he talked over
with Stone the question of raising the
$25,000,000 purchase price of the Danish
West indies.
Senator Stone voluntarily offered the
information that "peace was not dis
cussed," Z" Neither Stone nor Lansing
would listen to other questions.
Whether the matter of congressional
endorsement Of President Wilson Is notes
to belligerents was discussed could not
be learned Immediately following the
conference.
The administration has studiously
avoided renewing its threat to break re-
lations with Germany in event of re-
sumption Of relentless submarine war
fare. But many interpreted the presi-
dent 8 consultations and Lansing's visit
today as being significant of desire
to have congress on record in support Of
the presidents note, which was admit
tedly warning to Germany.
Neither was information forthcoming
whether Secretary Lansing had left any
written communication with Senator
Stone.
Later, at the state department, it was
officially announced that Lansing had
been summoned to the capitol "to dis
enss diplomatic appropriations with that
committee and TO discuss the matter Of
the price and government of the Danish
West Indies.

Judge William Galloway, who retires
from office January first, and adopt
ed resolutions of confidence and appre.
Iciation of his services on the bench for
the past IL years.
Judge Galloway was taken complete
| ly by surprise and was considerably
overcome by the eloquence and words
of praise in his behalf He sat with
head bowed during the entire time
/ that every member in the room spoke,
and when all was through he found il
difficult to phrase the appreciat ton of
the many tributes paid him by his fell
low members of the bar.
Especially was he touched by the
talks Of J. X. Weatherford, Judge HI.
fH. Hewitt and w. R. Bilyeu, with
whom he has been associated for many
i years. He was moved by the refer
ences Of Mark V. Weatherford whose
/ father was associated with Judge Gal
loway in the early days when they were
freighting down the Columbia river.
Willard L. Marks made an impressive
talk, voicing his appreciation of the
many courtesies of the judge. And so
/ on through a list of speakers which in
hcluded G. G.. Bryant, Victor Oliver, L.
! Nj. Curl, i. G. Lewelling, Gale S. Hill,

the First Nj. L. church viii have an
opportunity 10 hear male Quartette
composed of singers who are known to-
be the best that can be found in Sa-
lem. This quartette Is composed of
Superintendent John w. Todd, Frank
5. Barton, Richard Barton and Bernard

The talk given by Mr.. Mathis last
evening was direct, forceful, and to
the point. He spoke upon the "Devn
and How He Works Us. - His presen-
tation of the subject was original and
exceedingly interesting Mr.. Mathis
has his way of treating a subject which
cannot fail to appeal to all fair mind
ed persons. He treats his subject in a
common sense manner and he is always
fair and square toward those who come
to hear him.
The following are few quotations
from the address delivered last night
by Mr.. Mathis:
"The devil can quote scripture, he
can beat some church members al
that.n
There is only one way in my hum
bile opinion to interpret the scriptures
and that is in the light of the scriptures
themselves.
"Some folks think they have toe
good a voice to sing for God, too gooj
voice to sing with the common herd
God never made anything too good tc
praise him. -
