Members of this community were
greatly interested in Mr.. ID. H. Smiths
article under title OF Landmarks OF
Early Days Rapidly Disappearing"
published in the Miller Press Deem
Der 9Th, 1918. Sometime g a begin
ming was made toward agitating the
preservation OF the old 1881 log
house located on the Black and Yellow
Trail between vayland and Wessing-
ton, but the project was lever sub
mitted to the public for consideration.
We believe we are safe In saying that
the people OF this county and especial
ly this locally are greatly interested
in preserving this old landmark, n
therefore we are submitting a copy
Of a letter received sometime g from
Doane Robinson Of the State Depart
ment OF History: 30
MY dear Miss Noble:
T have yours Of the END, pertaining
to the old log house south OF Vayiand.
7 am interested In preserving such
relics, but we do not have a penny
that we can devote to such oo'ects.
The Daughters OF the american Revo-
luton give much attention to preserv-
ing such land marks, but ] believe
there is no Chapter in Hand County.
I would suggest that you take the
matter up locally. First induce me
owner of the land to deed q small
tract embracing the house, TO HanN
County as a public park. ihen get
a fund subscribed to fence the tract
and restore the house. A few hundreo
dollars will do this and / have no
doubt hat a committee could pick up
the necessary amount in a few hours
at washington. vayland and Miller.
Once set on its feet ] have no conpe
the county commissioners viii ne g'aa
70 make the small annual a%ppropria-
ton necessary to maintain the proper
ty.
Faithfully.
Doane Robinson,
