The Welcome eayg: Nelson Roberts has been dead many years, and it was nujipoged that hie widow had been gathered to her fathers long ago. Oldtim- ers tell many stories of the old lady's ignorance, one of which con cerns her idea of the Sandwich Isl ands. Along in 1863 a son-in-law by the name of Dean had d.tap- peared, and the neighbors were fearful that he had been murdered Two heighborR, Hon. John Sweek, father of Judge Alex Fwcek, and Judge Charles T. Tozier went over to console with Mr. and Mrs. Rob erts about the loss of Dean, when the old lady said: "Men, I don't think he's dead. You mind that he hud just bought him a bran new wngon and a fine yoke of ox ed, and as you've always hearn liim tell about going to the Sand wich I.ilumlf, and as he has gotten liim jist the rig to go thar you will iind him." Another story on the old lady is about the time when Canvassers vere out endeavoring to secure lock in a company that proposed ot-tnrt a telegtaph line in the iVillamctte Valley. The solicitors called on Nelson Roberts, and talked with the old man about tuking stock. Nancy stood the talk just as long us she could, when she broke out with, "See here, Nelson Roberts, if you be goin' to take any stock in that tili itpht lino I want it to be good American heifers, for this here .Spanish breed I want nothing to do with."
