social time, when Mrs. Salsbury gave
some of her early experiences in the

since she was a littlegirl of nine years
of age.
Mrs. Salisbury well remembers th
time when her father, E. McKinney,
set out to make a home for his family,
and mother tying up the lunch to last
him while on his journey of over 100
miles, which he made on foot. After
he had selected his home place, he re
turned in the same manner making a
200-mile "jaunt", for there were no
railroads there at that time. When all
preparations had been made for .the
"move" the little family started Out
with one team, yolk of oxen and two
cows, which were also used in haul
ing the family's belongings. Several
days were required to make the trip,
and the family took up their residence
in a little log cabin. The log school
house was close by, and the children
were given an education there, later
attending a larger school. As time
went by settlers came into that sec
lion by ox team and by hard work
cleared the land, built modern homes,
and is now one of the principal sec
tions of Iowa.
Mrs. Salisbury's birth place was
near Bcloit, Wisconsin. Among the
places she has resided since taking up
her home in Iowa are Bristow, Des
Moines and Ardale. She resided at
DesMoines when that place was
known as Fort DesMoines.
Mrs. Salisbury is one of the best
boosters Oregon has had, for this is
the third trip she has made to this
City during the past few years, and
tells her many friends whom she has
made here, that she is now looking
forward to the time when she will re
turn again, for she is expecting- to re
turn next summer and make another
trip over the Columbia river highway,
which she claims.. as the grandest
sight she has seen. She has accumu
lated, since coming here five months
ago, a large amount of literature per
taining to Oregon, including pictures
of Portland and Oregon City, which
she is to show her friends and rela
tives when she returns to her home
in Iowa.
Mrs. Salisbury is a woman or charm
ing personality and is loved by all
whom she has met. She says she has '
a smile like Roosevelt, "it won't wear
off", and if you should see her smile
you will always remember it, for it is
a "tonic."
