Expressions of sorrow from friends
in the east are beginning to arrive in
Oregon. Notable among which is tri-
butte of affectionate appreciation from
the pen of Kate Douglas wiggin, the
novelist, written for the New York Sun
She says in parts:
"Tom Dobson is dead. As write, the
quaint boyish name that never com
pletely defined or expressed him-oh,
/ it seems impossible that only a week
ago he made his little part Of the world
vibrant with his unique personality.
Tom Dobson 3 sense of humor was of
an exquisite sort that belonged to him
alone. There was the most delicious
humor in his face, in his voice, in his
fingers. One laughed with him whole
heartedly; but in another instant one
fopnd that all this nonsense was but
the upper current Of deeper sea. A
few chords, a change Of theme, and
he made mirth seem cheap and obvious,
while he touched the hearts of his
hearers, and made their eyes moist with
unshed tears. In the first rank, though
never crowded, must always include
half hundred names or more, and Tom
Dobson must always have place all
his own. There he is, and there he will
forever be, enshrined in the hearts Of
his loyal friends and admirers. 1t ia
such as he who are passionately mourn
led and never replaced. :"
