venture along that line, he said, was
not very profitable due to the gen.

JENNIE CRAWFORD koPPEN
Contributed

The White Bluffs Community was
shocked to its depths last week by
the accident resulting in the death of
Mrs. F. c. Koppen and severe inju-
ries to Mr.. Koppen.
Mrs. Koppen was born in Mime
sofa, where her childhood was passed !;
she was confirmed by the much re-
vered Bishop Whip lie. in the Epis-
copal church; was graduated from
Winona college, and taught few
years at Mankato and Minneapolis, af-
ter which she came west in 1890,
stopping at Ellensburg, where she was
eTly joined by her widowed mother.
Mrs. Koppen's grandfather, Viii
liam H. Crawford, was a sea captain
and resided in Bath, Maine. Her
great grandfather, Thomas Crawford,
was captain in the Americn Revo-
luton having three times enlisted
Washington at Valley Forge, the lat
ter fact being a fine credential for
her membership in the Samuel Ell
gin Chapter of the d. A. r.
From Ellensburg Mrs. Koppen,
then Jennie Crawford, took up her
homestead on the Columbia river,
driving back and forth with team
and wagon until she had fulfilled the
requirements of the law and establish
ed her home at the chosen site and
named it Wahluke.
Early, with the help of her brother,
John Crawford, she began the COM
Portable home familiar to us all. On
one of her trips from Ellensburg she
carried in the wagon the plate glass
that made the beautiful window over
looking the Columbia river.
In 1897, at Grace church in Ellens-
burg, Washington, Jennie Crawford
was married to Frederick Koppen,
After this, Wahluke was their per-
msnent home.
Mrs. Koppsn was active in civic
and educational matters, as well as a
highly esteemed member of the Wo-
mans Club of White Bluffs, of which
she was at one time, president.
Her surviving relatives are John w.
Crawford of Ellensburg. Washington,
and William H. Crawford, now in
Wisconsin, her only brothers; niece,
Mary Crawford Harr, now residing i'll
Cuba, and her husband, Frederick c.
Koppen.
To many laying Mrs. Koppen to
rest in the desert would seem desc
late, but it is well to look at it
through her eyes, which never saw
anything but a lovely vision in the
carefully selected home by the river,
expressed best by herself in the few
lines written few years ago:
THE LURE OF THE DESERT
The air came hot from the pavement
And hot from the street and the
wall;
And a shimmering gossamer waver,
Like veil, seemed to cover all.
I caught word that came floating
Above the din, and that word
Had the strangest of magic unfolded,
It was desert" and as heard,
The streets spread out to mesa
And walls grew to hills, and again,
Down from far off, SHOWS scrested Ia
coma,
A fresh breeze seemed to sweep the
plain.
It brought me the cool Of the ice cap;
The scent of the sage after rain;
And the song of the lark in the
springtime.
Aye, it took me back home again.
spread my bed by a sagebrush
Then laid me down under the stars
And the soft, murm'ring winds of the
desert
Healed my soul Of its carthborn
scars.
Let Us hope that in leaving her
in bed by the sagebrush, down under
the stars, her soul is healed for Eter-
nifty OF its earthborn scars.

M'NAB'S CAREER IS

San Francisco, June 1.--"Mis- ter-r-r-r Chairman-n-n and laa- dees and gentlemen of the Ecpub- lcan national convention, now place in nomination the name of the greatest of America's economic assets Herbert Hoover"
 The band will strike up in noisy bare. Coatless delegates will leap to their feet and yell A tossing, mixed-up parade of men waving tall standards, on which are written the names of states. will surge madly through the crowded aislcs of the big auditorium shouting and cheer ing. The galleries will respond with . mighty roar. The music, the noise the bedlam will continue for many minutcs-possibly, for several hours. And thus the carefully planned "Hoover emonstration" at the Kansas City convention will be un- der way.
 The orator who has just nomi- mated the secretary of commerce for the Republican candidate for the presidency, probably, will finger his wilted collar, take a sip of water and smile as he views the enthusiasm he has created. Every thing is already planned. It re- mains only to introduce the man who will do the nominating the orator who will place Hoover's name before the delegates.

 boss was one of Woodrow Will sons wisest counsellors. James 1 began as a truck driver and ended l as millionaire. Charles organ i ized the first big chain of drug stores in the northwest.

Here McNab began his typically American career. He was educated in the public schools. At IS he was corral boss and the country's champion sheep dipper. He could dip 1000 sheep day. But he had other ambitions.
 In 1867 his fathers main lug gage across the Panama isthmus had been a well-stocked library. and John was avidly consuming it. He decided to become a lawyer. Big Brother Gavin was consid- erable of q figure down in San Francisco, so John wrote Gavin, asking how to become a lawyer.
 Read Blackstone 12 times" wrote Gavin. "The only other book you'll need is Wcbster's Tn- abridged" John took the advice literally. With his back against an apple tree. Blackstone on one knee and Webster on the other. he went through the ordeal an even dozen times. Then he applied for admission to the California bar.

 McNab was saved from a poli,i- cian's career of office holding by being roundly beaten hy Demo- in a fpr i,r y, San Francisco he became so prom lncnt. however, as party leader that Taft persuaded him to accept the only political job he. ever held that of l.. s. district attorney for Northern California

 IL was when he found powerful friends Of young Anthony Cami- notti, whose father was immigra- tion commissioner under Wilson pulling wires at Washington that McNab resigned. His resignation letter was 8 classic and drew col umns of editorial comment all over the nation. Albert Shaw's Review of Reviews declared that the writer of that letter showed himself to be intimate with the writings of Ed mund Burke.
 "The joke was on him." laughs McNab. T never read Burke in my life"
