In Lincoln County, sparsely settled, the pioneers have always been few, and those remaining to enjoy its later development, those hardy men who braved the dangers and endured the hardships of that new country of forty years ago, are rapidly leaving us. L. F. Pepin was born April 24, 1550, in lloscoe, Boone County, Illinois, and, in 1878 found his way across the Continent to near what is now Chitwood, Lin coln County. This section of the country was without means of communication except by horses until the construction of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad about 1883. Mr. Pepin aidsd ln the construction of this enter prise which afforded railroad communication from Lincoln County to the outside world. . Mr. Pepin took a pre-emption -claim in the Chitwood vicinity in 1878 and was preceded in that 'vicinity by only three settlers. He continued to live there during ine iouowmg 3a years and until his death which came after a protracted illness of about two years. He was the proprietor of a mercantile business at Chit wood for many years immediate ly prior to his death. Besides ' the widow, Mrs. Flora Pepin, he leaves nve sons, William b. Pe pin. Arthur.J. Pepin, Fred Pepin, i Archie D. Pepin and Floyd Pepin. ROAD AID PROMISED FOR COUNTY ROADS County Commissioner 0. V. Hurt, who returned from Port land last evening, says that he called on S. Benson of the State Highway Commission while In Portland, regarding Lincoln county s status in the road mat ter. Mr. Benson talked very fav orably and told Mr. Hurt that If Lincoln county would put up $1000 that they woulj take $1000 from the Federal money and $1000 from the State money and use it on our roads. $3000, while not a large sum- when it comes to building roads, will do a lot toward putting th? road riom the Valley to Newport In good shape. We talked with County Judge Miller regarding tho matter and ho assuron nn dm the county will put up tlic necessary money.
