Efforts to secure the "Prince of Graus tark" IndAnftnildnt rr k.A n. t w Ati - -.... Dcwu-juuuiujjr Magazine proved unsuccessful. m William W. Blithers is a copy of the money power of the Rocke fellers. Morgans, etc.. and Is thn controlling power of S50O.000.000 of real money. Air. ana Mrs. Blithers are the proud parents of an only daughter. Miss Maud Applegate Blithers, aged 20. a e-irl of noted beauty. Mr. Blithers had just mentioned to his wife that it would be a gooa tning tor the Blithers family tree to buy Prince Robin, of the tiny Balkan principality of Graustark, as a hus band for Miss Maud. - Prince Robin was then rusticating at J.he nearby cottage of his old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Truxton King. Mrs. King is the "Aunt Lorraine" of Graustark lore. Prince Robin is secretly in this coun try to try to arrange a loan of many millions of dollars for his native and beloved country of Graustark, and he hopes to enlist the aid of American capitalists. Graustark is in Russia's debt to the tune of $30,000,000, and a portion of the money is due to be paid. Graustark is located between Russia and Austria, and Russia desires to possess Graustark in her coming war of Slav against Teuton. The time is after the recent Balkan "ar, and prior to the present war in Europe. 9 Mrs. Blithers thinks that the Prince of Graustark can't be bought with money, and her husband 'says that money "can buy any foreign noble man." Had not the Prince's mother married an American? "If you want our srirl to be Princess of that.' I'll see that she is, providing that Prince Robin is a gentleman and worthy of her." said Mr. Blithers. "The only Prince I ever knew was a d d rascal and lro going to be careful aoout this one. Tou remember that measly " "There is no Question about Prince Robin, ' aid ahe sharply. " "t suppose the only question Is, how much will he want?" j . . "Tou mean settlement?" ,'i - "Sure." "Have you no romaooe in your soul, Wil liam Blithers? "I never beliered in fairy stories,", said he rrlmly. "And what's more. I Uon;t taae any stock in cheao novels in which Amer ican heroes aro about marrying; - Into royal ramlliaa and all thatsort of rot. .. It isn't done. Lou. If you' want to marry into a royal family, you've rot to put up the coin." "Prince Robin's mother, the poor princess Tetlve. married an Amerloan for love, let me remind you." "Union! Where is this Groostock any- wav?" - V.'Somewhere eaat of the setting; sun, " she ouoted. "Ton must learn how to pro nounce It." "I never was srood at foreign languages. By the wav. where is Maud this afternoon?" "Motorinar." He waited for additional information.. It was not vouchsafed, so he demanded some what; fearfully: "Who with?" "Toonr Seovllle." Re scowled. "He's a loafer, Lou. iio good In the world. I don't like- the way you let" "He Is of very good ffcrnlly." "Is he in love with her?" "Certainly. Isn't every one she meets In love with her?" What about Prince Robin, about whom so many American mammas were angling, to get a title into the family? ' Prince Robin of Graustark was as good looking a chao as one would see in a week's Journey. Little would one suspect him of beln the descendant of a long and distin guished line of nrinees. save for the unmis takable though indefinable something in his eye that exacted rather than invited the homage, of his fellow man. His laugh was a free and merry one. his spirits as effer vescent aa wine, his manner bllthe'and boy ish: vet beneath all this fair and gullelesB exposition of carelessness lay the sober In tegrity of caste. It looked out through the steady, unswerving eyes, even when they twinkled with mirth: it met the gaze of the world- with a serene imperloosness that gave, way before no mortal influence; It toid without boastfulness a story of centuries. For he was the son of a orlncess royal, and the blood of ten-score rulers of men had come down to him as a heritage of strength. His mother, the beautiful, j. -acloua and lamented Tetlve. set all royal circles by the ears when she married the American, Lorry, back in the 'DOs. A snecial act of the min. Istry had legalized this union, and the son of the American was not , deprived of his right to succeed to the tbrona which hie forbears had occupied for centuries. From read the service.

Murphy and family have given up their home at 475 Holla day avenue and are now domiciled in the St. Francis apartments. Mr. and Mrs. J. A- Tauscher are re ceiving felicitations from their many friends upon the arrival of a son. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Van Matre, of Seattle, are receiving congratulations on the birth of a eon, John Huntington, born on Tuesday. Mrs. Van Matre was formerly Miss Charlotte Grace Flor ance. of this city. his mother he had inherited the rlght,.of Kings, irom nis lather the spirit of freedom; from his mother the sower of majesty, from ms tataer to see beyond that majesty. , Mr. Blithers, in the pursuit of the royal son-in-law he wanted, visits the near-by home of the Truxton Kings, in the heart of the Catskllls, New York State. Prince Robin Is playing tennis with Mrs. King, and in attendance are two Graustark officers of state. Count Quinnox and Lieutenant Dank. The King family has onlv a slight ac quaintence with Mr. Blithers but the latter is a social climber, and not only possesses, nerve but dollars. Mr. Blithers' schemes, and secures an in vitation to dine with Prince Robin and his officers. He drops a hint of his desire for royalty in his family, and says that Miss Maud's marriage set tlement will be $20, 003,000. Scarcely concealing the disgust they felt over such raw social tactics. Prince Robin and his officers gave Mr. Blithers to Understand that they did not approve of his plan. The Graustark- envoys are on the point of com pleting a deal with New York bank ers through which the loan to Grau stark will be arranged. Just then Mr. Blithers' financial geriius get busy. To their amazement, when the Graustark envoys approach their New York bank ers they are told that the deal is "off." vv ny : "Oh, better see Mr. Blither" l th. significant reply. in the meantime, in far-awav Dawa. bergen, a principality adjoining that oi urau8iark, the officers of state of Uawsberger adhere to ihaii- nrinin.i desire that the Prince of Graustark shall marry the beautiful Princess of Dawsbergen, who is two years younger than Prince Robin. The mother of this Princess is a Mrs. Beverly Calhoun, of Virginia U. S. A. Prince Robin and the Princess of Dawsbergen had never seen each other, but with characteristic Independence they had already stated, with emphasis, that they did not desire to marry each other. . "Prince Robin, in America, looks for his ideal girl, whom he calls In his secret soul his "Golden Girl." But, so far, he has not met her. At a cost of $100,000 Mr,. Blithers gives an immense house party on his estate at Blitherswood, for the secret purpose of introducing to each other Miss Maud Applegate Blithers and the Prince of Graustark. Mis Mui hnw. ever, hears of her father's plan to offer her in sacrifice to the Prince, and not only declines to attend the party but goes to New York City, where, chaper oned by her old governess, she attends opera, attended by her adorer, Mr. Sco vjue. tier father, who Is furious at her, arranges the loan of $20,000,000 with the Graustark envoys, with the njm mat nis (laughter may be con sidered as the future Princess of Grau stark. His terms are accepted, tenta tively. The Graustark envoys announce that iney are going to Europe; and Mr. Blithers, with energy, announces that he, Mrs. Blithers and Miss Blithers are also going to Europe and to see Grau stark. - At sea, on the steamer Jupiter, Prince Robin discovers among the few pas sengers that are on board, a Miss be delia, Guile, whose luggage is stamped 'B. Miss Bedelia is a girl of won drous beauty and at first treats the Prince with scorn. Piqued, the Prinee falls in love with her, and she avoids himt and then loves him. She has an elderly chaperons on board. Prince Robin thinks Miss Bedelia is none other than Miss Blithers in dis guise, sent to "spy him -out," and so do the two other Graustark envoys, but they keep their own counsel. Im poverished Graustark needs money, and the Blithers millions of money will come in handy. At Paris Miss Bedelia and her chaperone disappear. Miss Bedelia say ing to her royal lover: "Goodby. Don't follow me." Mr. and Mrs. Blithers also arrive in Paris, and shortly afterward announce that Miss Blithers has disappeared. The Prince searches for Miss Guile Miss Blithers and- is sure thev are the same. The Prince discovers MlssOuile Blithers near his home at Graustark, and after a furious but romnntic woo ing, she consents to marry fclm. Mr. Blithers arrives at Graustark, signs papers connected with the 20, 000,000 loan, on tirst-class security, but it appears that Miss Guile-Blithers, when they meet, does not know him. A telegram is sent to Mr. Blithers from his daughter, Maud, that she and Mr. Scoville had Just been' married at Vi enna. Who then is Miss Guile? Mr. Printer, draw the veil. It is time. In real life Miss Belinda Guile is tht Princess of Dawsbergen. a girl who arranges her own form of wooing. She managed to be courted, on board ship. Are you not surprised, for once?

TOPPLING SECTION LINE ROAD SHACK " IS RELIC OF, EARLY PIONEER DAYS Sagging and Weatherbeaten House Marks Homestead of Joshua Ewing Witten, Blacksmith of Early 50s, Whose Books, Yellow With Age, Bear Names of Old-Timers Kindly Deeds of Couple Recalled. if ' ' 74z ASgSe. ZamJy MARY AGNES KELLY. MANY a night has the north star glittered upon the small square window panes, and the dipper sprinkled dewdrops, like benedictions. over the sloping roof of the quaint old Witten house, a familiar " landmark which lingers beside the section line road, taking small part in the present rush of life, but testifying mutely of days when homes were few in Oregon. Surrounded by a sea of gardeners' green, the gray-brown relic stands with sagging porch and crumbling roof, as if awaiting footfalls of those wnose dwelling-place it was. Sweet brier roses screen the windows on the east, in Summer op'ening dawn-kissed petals and fragrant leaves to hide the missing panes, in Winter, tapping at me leoge wjtn crimson haws to beg for entrance from the chill. Two sturdy maples, standing at attention, keep silent guard beside the gate and on the west three pointed rtrs cast cooling shadows when the sun is hot. Within the weather-beaten walls, a generation since, lofty hymns of praise and whole some songs nf home and love welled forth and even yet the time-worn dwelling breathes a melody. Smallpox la Eseased. It was in the early '50s that Joshua Ewing Witten and his good wife, Nancy Roork, left Tennessee for Ore gon, accompanied by a little daughter and a son of tender years. While on the plains, smallpox broke out in their train but this family rrrrracuHousIy es caped contagion and lived to endure s greater fright when Indians attempted to kidnap their beautiful, red-cheeked girl, Eliza. Like all other immigrants, the Wit ten family finally reached the West In the Fall of the year, weary and worn from the hardships surmounted, their finances exhausted and Mr. Witten, himself, in ill health. The little boy did not linger in the , strango new West, but Eliza grew to womanhood. After looking about for a time the family took up a donation land claim of 320 acres, lying south of the section line and east of Fifty-sixth or Fifty- seventh street today. Here, in a log caDin, tney bravely bore the priva tions of the first long Winter, then. with the opening; of Spring. "Brother'" Witten as he was affectionately known In the good old Methodist wa procured a set of blacksmiths' tools (to be paid for principally in work) from Clinton Kelly, who had brought them from Kentucky in 184S. Smithy Is Dalit. Eeside the road near his modest home Mr. Witten established a black smith shop, where soon he was busily engaged In horseshoeing and repair work for the whole countryside. Some vi nis patrons cime lo miles over distressfully muddy, crooked roads which seldom dried, even in Summer, so densely shaded were they by eur- ro4nding forests. Mr. Witten also had land cleared and set to fruit for family use ana on other portions of his claim he raised vegetables and crops com mon to the locality. During their early residence in Ore gon the family was augmented by the arrival of. several children, three of whom died in infancy, but two of these daughters, Tryphosa Elizabeth and Tryphena Ellen (the quaint music of the names!) lived to maturity, and, in line with others of our great-hearted pioneers, who were ever ready to aid the distressed, Mr. Witten and wife had fallen heir to three little boys whoso mothers had died while on the arduous western pilgrimage. These lads were Charles Wesley Slieff, Fran cis Marion Shaver and John Moland Caldwell (commonly called - "Johnny Molln Klllwell"). The fathers of these boys returned to the East and even tually "came for their sons, whose "keep" they also paid: but in the meantime good Brother and Sister Wit ten put up with endless inconvenience occasioned by them. ... Three Are Sleepwalkers. The most remarkable characteristic or the trio was that all were somnam bulists, and. amaslng as it may seem, they-frequently would arise during the night, dress themselves, and no mat ter what the state of the weather, start out upon a sleepwalking expedition. At one time Hampton Kelly, whose homestead was west of the Witten claim, was aroused by the continuous barking of his dog, and at' length got up to discover what was creating the disturbance. By the time he reached the fence, probably 200 feet from the house, he found the three small boys, awakened from their trancelike sleep arid crying bitterly from fright at their inexplicable predicament. Needless to say, Mr Kelly took the little fellows in and kept them till morning. At an other time, having been similarly dis turbed, he returned home with the urchins and delivered them safely into their guardians' keeping. Often the whole - neighborhood, scattered .and primitive as it was. was summoned from slumber to go out and bunt for the lads who had sallied forth into the night. There were stray wolves and an occasional panther, as, well as awe inspiring forests to affright, so these kind-hearted pioneers searched far and wide and kindled guiding fires at in tervals along- the different trails, tha the terrified wanderers might find warmth and light upon regaining con sciousness. Prosperous Days Come. The community built .up gradually and Mr. W'tten. being a forehanded man (excellent attribute for a black smith), he continued to prosper. With strict attent'on to business and - con stant care for detail, he was soon en abled to add to his smithy, to enlarge his tool supply and to erect the com modious house which stands today.

To native Ore- gonians, the leaves are like a message from the dead. Pulrehcats quicken and eyes grow, dim as they traverse the record of work performed, of homely lines inscribed. by toil-worn fingers. Sixty years and more ago, yet thus the first list runs : Clinton Kelly, Dr.: Aug., 1854, making clevis pin. etc., etc..$ .40 Aug., 1354, shoeing Charley, $1.2 1.25 Oct. 1854. Shoeing Bob 1.50 Dec, 1854, shoeing Bob. hooping tubs, etc 1.75 "All Settled" Clear Paae! So runs the iron trail until November.' 1858, where the last written account of this early pioneer, like all the rest, re veals its satisfactory "all settled," writ ten in large letters across the page. Bob, an American horse, so called in contrast with the Cay use ponies of the West, was Clinton Kelly's saddle horse while in the Kentucky Confer ence, and was not deserted when the family crossed the plains. He seems especially hard on his footwear, as he haunts more lines than his companions. For Perry Prettyman, father of Da vid. Daniel. Henry and William, Broth er Witten recorded "making hie gee and latch for gate, repairing three log chains, laying and repairing hound band, making rattle staff for windmill, splicing two grubbinjf hoes, pointing old big plow with steel and one hymn book," for which book he received 62 "i cents. For Francis Marion Shaver's father he produced "one iron wedge. one crocked drawing knife, one ln-shave and one champerlng knife." James Abraham's account contained "one mat tock, six rake teeth, putting handle to frying pan, three fish-hooks, hauling wheat and setting tire,!' to the amount 3t 118.10, balanced on the opposite page by "17 pounds fine Hour, 200 poirnda fine flour, cash by the hand of Mr. Kelly and l days' work in setting tire." Samuel Spencer was debtor for "one grubbing hoe, making maul rings and balance making spade." $4 in all. The opposite page announces. "Cash by Isaac, 4." One account of Plympton Kelly's "making two sets of rake teeth, bend ing and riveting rake head, and one fish spear," was balanced "by 13 peach trees at 50c each." John W. James, owing "$263.62 for maintenance of Charley Sheft" squared the account with a "shotgun (transfer, not ex plosion), tools, worth, of shot, (50 worth of bed clothing, and 8130.12 in .cash.'i. Johaar'a Board Recorded. John Caldwell "for boarding Johnny einoe middle of May," turned into the Witten treasury 820 in cash, 12 pounds powder, 21 pounds shot and lead, "one rifle gun" and a check for 899 "on Ad ams St Co." D. O, Prettyman paid his account In days' work, six bushels of turnips, one book, 31 pounds beef "and work done on mtlkhouse." Against smithy work, Hampton Kelly received credit for seven loads of charcoal, cash, beef, salmon and butter. Mr. Creeswell. by "100 boards and plowing," another, by "driving team in hay hauling, turnips and cow-fecdlng. and the rest in cash," while others bartered a saddle, a bridle, linsey, bacon, a watch, iron, tallow, . rutabagas . and timothy seed. Well-known pioneers for whom Mr. Witten "shod mares, laid ploughs, up set grub hoes (upsetting consisted of putting an edge of steel on iron tools), made cradle hangings" and did divers bits of work, were James and Charles Storey, William Kern. Martin Titua, Ezra and Jacob Johnson of Johnson Creek), Gllmore and Archon Kelly and G. -W-.Boork, of Powell's Valley, Em manuel Himmon. Isaac Williams, Rob ert Gray, Thomas Fitch. George Long, Gideon Tibbets, O..P. Lent and Benja min Thomas. Being patriotic and pu'-llc-splrlted. Mr. Witten ever did his snare toward the betterment of the growing com munity. At times he helped in preach ing services and during the long Win ter evenings he taught the rudiments of music at singing school, held In a small frame building (later, also, in "No. 2") which used to stand about where Powell street crosses the South ern Pacific track at the present time.
