Many motherless girls come under our care, and grateful letters are received from all over Oregon, thanking us for help given at a time when a kind, firm hand was needed in guidance to the path of honor able womanhood. Our friends may feel assured of our sin cere thanks for any household supplies, in cluding fruits of all kinds, as the trees on tho premises gave light yield this year, and we face a dearth of such supplies during the Winter.
