Edgar Locke, who has lived down on
his ranch below the Ruthton hill for so
many years, made his last trip with
his team over the old road that he has
travelled over so often in the past, Sat
ruday. Mr.. Locke was in Hood River
Saturday evening.
Two large caterpiller steam shovels
are expected to arrive any day now.
They will be put to work, one at each
end of the Ruthton hill grade. Later
They are here now.
The W. S. s. drive has been on in
Frankton this week. We can't give
any definite results as all the territory
has not yet been canvassed.

Roy Rash and Guy Eastman, who
have been on the Ruthton hill High
way work, were sent down near Cas-
cade Locks last week to fell several
large trees along the right of way
there, which took expert work to
handle. They had to be felled just 50
or not at all.
H. B. Scott, from Silverton, brother
in-law of John Phillips, has moved
into the W. A. Mack house. Mr..
Scott will work at the Post Canyon
mill as engineer.
Jack Mower says that Uncle Sam
doesn't force him to deliver the mail
by the Ford route. but the high price
of feed does. so he will have to stop
saying whoa, and say get up, and
maybe something else.
Don't forget that we are going to
remember the boys over there at the
next Parent-Teacher meeting. Every
body should get busy and help make it
a big success. What have those com.
mittees done? Its getting time for
them to say and do their bit.
In raking around for items for this

MRS. RUSSELL SAGE.

When the curtain closed a few days ago
on the ninety years of service of Mrs. Rus
sell Sage there passed from life one of the
most remarkable women of the world Born
in near poverty and forced to assist in sup
port Of the family when but nine years of
age, she struggled to win an education. By
an illness contracted on her trip to the
school where she expected to work her way
to graduation she entered another where,
after four years of such privations as would
destroy the ambition of almost any girl, she
received her diploma and became teacher.
She inherited this inclination, one of her
maternal ancestors being Henry Pierson,
founder of the American public school sys-
TEN.
When she married Russell Sage, both be-
ing then in middle life, he was frugal
and conservative banker in a small city His
vast wealth, close to $7O,OOO,OOO at his
death; was accumulated after that time The
philanthropic side of Mrs. Sage was not de-
veloped until late in life, in fact not until
her husband turned over the management
of his vast properties to her. She has dis
tributed more than $3O,OOO,0OO of the for
tune, and accomplished this work by meth
DDS which lifted the benefactors above
sycophancy. She studied the methods of
giving so that those who received became
self-reliant, and strove to merit her conf
dence in their success from their own eff
forts after they once were started. This
was the philosophy of her giving. The men
dicant and the charlatan found no favor
with her. Her gifts were intended to be,
and in nearly every instance were, the
foundation for individual success. In this
particular she was in a class by herself as a
phlanthropist.
Large donations outside the Russell Sage
Foundation were not numerous The school
which she attended as a girl and through
which she reached her young womanhood
ambition by every mark of perjury were
remembered in her days of afluence with
$1,000,000 Most of the other large dona-
tions were to institutions of learning, with
some provisions for women and children
who were INDECENT
