at the home of Mr. Burch, I enjoy­

at W hiteson, where I called on Mr.

My trip from here must be brief­
ly told, hut I must not forget to
m ention the nice visit with Mr.
Miller and fam ily, near Dayton.
They have the most beautiful loca­
tion for a home I ever saw. It is
on the top of a m ountain, and
from the front y ard I could look
down on the whole W illam ette val­
ley. W ith a good glass, one could
see Silverton, twety-five miles dis­
tan t, in the foothills of the Cas­
cades. T hat evening found us in
Newberg, a t the home of J. C. Por­
ter. 'The next day I visited Mr.
and Mrs. Priestley at th eir country
home and had a very pleasant time,
Mr. Priestley returning wi Ji me to
Newberg, the home of the Quakers,
where we secured several subscrib­
ers. On the wav to P ortland we
visited at B utteville, Stafford and
Oregon City, meeting friends too
num erous to m ention. The Bailey
fam ily, in P ortland, gave us the us­
ual welcome, and S atu rd ay evening
found us at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Plim pton, in the suburbs of
the city. E arly Sunday morning
we started for Silverton, a distance
of fifty miles.
Very little of im­
portance occurred, and we arrived
home in good season and found ev­
eryone well. In a few days we will
sally forth again, and then the fur
will fly. Look out for us,for we are
coming your way, and when you
see us coming you will know what
it means.
Remember, th a t Uni­
versity must he built th is fall, and
the hike and I c a n ’t do it all.
