Portland, Ore., Nov. 22.
Editor St. Helens Mist I will en
close herein copy of a letter recently
received from Mrs. Hattie B. Lawr
ence, manager ot the Plsgah Home
colony, near Scappoose. This is one
ot the most unique experiments ever
undertaken to provide a place in
tho community for "down and out
ers." They are given a haven, a real
home, and are given work to do and,
you will notice in the letter enclosed,
have achieved remarkable results.
How much better this Is than to have
these poor wretches roving around
the country kicked from pillar to post
and put in jail occasionally for vag
rancy. Portland should support
this institution, and colonies ot like
kind are a need near all cities, for it
is a long step toward improved citi
zenship. Yours truly,
JOHN PEARSON.
Mr. John Pearson, Portland, Ore.
I send this narrative report ot the
Plsgah Heights ranch to bring before
the board with other reports..
I find the work moving on here in
as good manner as I. could expect.
They have the road done clear up to
the house and are now very busy
imbedding pipe from ram to house;
have an extra dormitory built, the
upper room to be used for beds, and
below, shop and granary; have an
other building, 20x40, froine, to be
used, upper room for dormitory, low
er one for laundry; they have a lit
tle bath honse with two tubs install
ed; Is very neat, made of shakes and
poles and lined with lumber; a lit
tle cook stove in it to heat water;
everything looks new and undevel
oped yet.
There are about 90 sacks of po
tatoes left and we want to keep
40 bushels for seed. Had a large
patch ot beans that did not mature
sufficiently before frost came to
make beans. All we can derive from
them is fertilizer. The potatoes
were a light 'yield, over an acre
blighted. We have consumed an
acre ot potatoes, all the early ones
and some of the late; dug them as
needed and did not measure them or
keep an aclount, but approximately
one hundred bushels. This was
over an acre.
So much ot our work may prove
temporary because of our location
and the water. We have put ditch
in to save pipe from freezing and to
the temporary hall. It involved a lot
ot labor that will have to be done
again on another location higher,
when we get in the reservoir, but
considering all the circumstances 1
thought it best to put It in here for
the present.
There Is necessarily a good many
drawbacks when you are handicapped
for means to carry on the work.
Just a pair of shoes for one man will
put the whole crowd in harmony;
when he is around growling, it makes
them all dissatisfied. I wish I could
have shoes, and underclothes is a
crying need. I enclose a list of work
accomplished.
Three miles of road is fine, I
think; one-half mile on our own land
mostly. I Intend seeing the county
commissioners and have them in
spect the road and then see if they
cannot allow us a little more ot it;
also if they will give the work to
these men who have worked faith
fully for us on the new road proposed
six miles northwest of us. They
have to go through our land or it Is
convenient for them. Ought they
not to -pay us for the land on which
the public, travel, or ought we to
mention it on account of their allow
ing us our taxes. (In Iowa we sold
our half ot road to township). These
men have put in a good road and I
want them to get a fair pay Job on
tho county road as a reward for their
faithfulness. I think there should
only be about twelve work at a time
and those in order according to the
number of days time they are en
titled to, when one drops out, the
next takes his place. Mr. Pearson
might be able to get this proposition
through with Columbia county better
than I would. I think we can have
a commission on the job, also for
the management. Brother Ed, su
perintendent, can get his Job as su
perintendent on road and still super
intend the home with his foreman
under him, laying out work nights.
I will be here I hope during winter
months. In fact I want to be here
all the time mostly. We will not be
ready to begin on road until January
then what money the boysc get
won't undo them.
One of our men passed away last
week, John Belllsh, a barber. He
was sent here by Dr. Frisbee to bo
Isolated, that he might regain his
strength. He had been through the
cure for morphine habit. He did
woll for awhile and then ttook up
with cigarettes, which were brought
in, and finally we found out he was
using . morphine. This he had
brought with him it is supposed, and
.ho had finally - yielded to it." We
don't know-how he got It, but found;
it In his hand bag. Superintendent I
took it from htm and he Immediately .
was very Blck. We reported to Dr.!
Geary and ho said the symptoms
were the same as they all hud and
told us to curry out a lino of treat
ment, which , we did. Other compli
cations may. have arisen and I en
deavored to get a physician from
Scuppoose, hut before we could get
him hero ho passed away. Wo culled
St. Helens (coroner) undertaker and
lie communicated with his friends. I
think they are in good circumstances
and he hug an estate coming to htm
through his father, who was lately
killed in a wreck. With your consent
I will put in a claim for some recom
pense.. He hits been here since July,
and unable to work to amount to
anything. I am- willing to work for
poor for nothing, but not for the
rich, or those able to pay.
One rich family camo and took
their boy that I had cared for for
months and paid flvo hundred dol
lars to Fluley, undertaker, and gave
mo fifty In installments. I don't
like to trust to their generosity.
Those people need to he dealt with
on business principles. Another
g:ve undertaker one hundred dollars
and us nothing. Another I cured for
her father two years and brought 111 m
out a real teetotaler and she took me
to the funeral and that was all. So I
am a little sceptical of those who
have money. Now pleuse advise.
While we never charge, tlioso peoplo
ought to be decent and remember
that It coats something to take cure
of sick people. This Is all I think to
report on. Presume father sent In
reports on finance.
Yours most sincerely,
HATTIE B. LAWRENCE.
