BOOK, "OREGON PIONEERS" S OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO DOUGLAS RESIDENTS The book, "Oregon Pioneers," by the late Rollien Dickerson, resi dent of Douglas County for many years, who died recently in San ta Barbara, Calif., is of special in terest here, as the author was in timately known by so many resi dents of Roseburg and through out the county. According to Alfred Powers. writer for the Oregon Journal, the book has as a subtitle, "A pre sentation of some little known facts and portraits in the Oregon of yesterday, the twilight of the pioneer." It was published this spring by Wallace Hebbard, San ta Barbara, Calif. The period covered is from 1890 Into the 1920's. The book consists of 34 historical sketches, with such titles as "The Silence of the Mountains Did It"; 'The Strange Case of White Woman Versus Chinaman"; "Superintendent of Schools In a Sagebrush County"; Editor in an uregon cattle Country," and "Doorbell Mission aries of Yesterday." In these are narratives and drama and suspense; conflict and humor and folk philosophy; in them is no smugness, no patroniz ing. They definitely rank among the best literary essays written about Oregon in more than a cen tury of writing. Of particular Interest to the writer, Alfred Powers, is the au thor's description of the Snake River gorge in the chapter called "The Philosophy of a Cattleman." "After staving overnight with prospector at the bottom of the deepest chasm on earth, I climbed wearily up the western slope, leading my horse. On arriving at a point near the top, I mounted and turned north, following a cow trail in the shadow of a rim rock. Thirty miles I traveled with out seeing a human being or a house, indeed without seeing any life at all except range cattle, an eagle, a skulking coyote and a couple ol rattlers sunning mem- selves on the rocks. I was not lonely though, for all about me ageless creation marched. The Seven Jjevns, snow-cappea aim huge, pointed their jagged peaks heavenward straight across the gorge. The boiling, raging Snake, tar below, rusneo. on. in my jeii rose a perpendicular rlmrock and to mv right a vast Drecipice drop ped. All day l pioauea on, nusneu in wonderment." Mr. Dickerson, who was a rela tive of Mrs. James E. Sawyers of this citv. died May 10, shortly after his book was published. He was born in Douglas County and was a member of the last class of the old Drain Normal School. He was graduated from University of Oregon, becoming successively principal of the University High School, head of the history de partment in Felix Adler's School in New York, and publisher of the Kcndrick Gazette at Kendrick, Ida.
