LOCKLEY'S THEME
In lila always interesting llt
rriiry rambles. in the Oregon
Jouriinl. Fred I.ockley on Monday,
delivered the following Interesting
effort on a Prineville woman, whose
career Is Interesting to all Prlue
vllle people:
Friend I.ockley says:
The first time I ever met Adn Mll
llRn was when I stopped over-night
at her house at Mlllican on the way
from I'rlnevllle to Klamath Falls.
We reached the Mlllican ranch Just
at dusk. Samuel Hill, whose guest
I wns. In his courtly way. Introduced
himself and then said, "And this Is
Fred I.ockley." Mrs. Mlllican said In
a verv dlssnpolnted voice, "Are you
the Fred I.ockley who writes?" "Yea"
1 responded, "but why that look of
disappointment. I havo been read
ing your articles for yeara and I had
formed a mental picture of you. I
thought you were tall and slender,
with long black hair and coulful eyeg
and It rather Jarrd me to find thnt
uch a very prosaic looking person
was Fred Loekley." After such a
upper as a very prosaic looking per
nn could greatly enjoy, Mrs. Mllll-
rnn showed us her collection of In
dlnn curios and told us at length why
In her opinion there would soon be
universal sufferago throughout the
United Slates. As I remember It, her
argument wns not that women are
Just ns capable as men, but that they
are much more so,
Yesterday I again met Mrs. Mllli
can at Eugene. 8he Is there to at
tend the state university. "That
should resume my studies after GO
voara may seem strange to you." ihe
said, "but I don't see why there la i
anything out of the way nbout It.
When I got a fragmentary schooling
equal to finishing the fourth grade,
I hnd to stop school to earn money,
o I decided to be a teacher. My
uncle was one of the school board so
I got the place. The children used
to love me, for all I taught them
wa reading and writing, and I let
thorn have long recesses to take up
tlm time. Word came that there
after teachers must take an examina
tion Mr. Todd, a minister ' was
county school superintendent, and as
he had eaten many a chicken dinner
at our house I felt sure that I would
pass the oral examination without
trouble. When I went to Rosoburg
to take the examination I learned to
my consternation that Mr. Todd was
away, that his deputy would hold the
examination and it was-to be written
tnBtnnH of oral. I was In dlspalr. 1
stayed that night at Mrs. Booth's
home Her husband was a minister
and a friend of our family. She put
handful of sliver Into the basket, at
the sunie time giving me a smile that
made my heart go plttypat. After
the play Will Van Dyne introduced
the stranger. Ilia name was George
Mlllican. He was 47, I was 23. He
owned a ranch on the MrKenzle. The
Hev. I. I). Driver married us In Eu
gene. We started on our wedding
Journey the next morning on horse
hack to cross the Cascades Into East
ern Oregon. Mr. Mlllican owned a
meat market In Salem, later bought
by K. C. Cross. My husband hsd a
ranch on McKay creek, near Prlna
vllle. and a ranch at what la now
known as Waltervllle, on the McKen
lie. It was nsmed Waltervllle after
bis son, Walter.
"After a few years times became
very hard and my husband lost his
property. He took up a ranch near
Pine mountain, now known as Mllli
can. Wa bad to have money to help
stock the ranch, so I went to teach
ing. I secured a position as teacher
at White Itorks, I tnh, in the Indian
School. Later I waa transferred to
the Indian School at Yuma, and still
Inter to the Indian School at Pima,
Ariz, where I taught nearly four
years. From there I was transfer
red to the Indian school at Puyallup,
and from there I went to the Tine
mountain much, for we had got on
our feel again. For the pnst few
years we have lived In Prineville.
"You will always find me an ac
tive participant In all conventions
and guihuringi of women's clubs and
oilier organisations to advance tho
cause of women. My great interests
In life are helping to secure a square

In the past tho women and the Ind

it. My husband died last fall, on
November 25. He had celebrated bla
eighty fifth birthday two days before
his death.

which Is growing larger and gaining
depth every day. Today the lake is
72foet deep at the dam, which means
that 37 feet of storage water is al
ready on hand and the depth is in

two or three days. At ita crest, the
greatest water depth will be 118 feet

The main topic under discussion at
the Commercial Club but Friday
noon, was the possibility of securing
for Prinevllle a registered and offi
cial Aero landing field. A field ot
this nature will give Prineville a
great deal of valuable publicity, as
well as connect this city up with the
air traffic, which is yet eomparaltve-
j ly In its infancy, with Its unlimited
i opportunities for advancement and
I adaptihility.
I N. B. Evans, representing the State
j Chamber of Commerce was In thin
j vicinity for several days last week
looking for a suitable location for a
j field in this locality. Accompanied
I by R. L. Schee. secretary of the Com-
mercial Club. Mr. Evans looked over
a number or possible locations lor
an aero field, and finally decided on
one tract of eighty acres near th's
city that would be the best situated
for a field of this kind.
Prineville Is almost in line.and al
most centrally located between La
Grande and Eugene, where there are
already located official aero fields,
and It is necessary that a stopping
place be selected between these two
prominent fields. Mr. Evans stated
that he was very favorably impres
sed with the qualifications which the
structure is rapidly nearing comple-. locations arround Prineville offer.
