Van Houten purchaaed from th, Elec
tric Land company 115 acre of land,
which they platted , and named Porta
mouth. The difficulty which confronted
the peninaula at that time waa th lack
of water facllltiea' No water could be
.obtained jnearer than the, level of th
river. 180 feet below th surface. The
"principal ' stockholder, of th Electrlo
Land company were alao th larger

Jlouten. In purchasing the Portsmouth
Iract. purcnased the right to have all

'theprlnVof 1890 McKenna placed
an advertisement In the dally paper of
fering a bonus to any organisation that
-would establish a university on the
peninsula. ; Through that advertisement
lie met Professor Brownson, then presi
dent of the . Baptist college located at
McMinnvUle, and .through' Professor
. Brownson brought Dr. Harper, president
of the Chicago university, and Mr.
Htone, private secretary to John D.
Kockefeller. to inspect hla proposition
on the peninsula. Dr. Harper, on be
half of the Chicago university, and Mr.
tone" on behalf of John D. Rockefeller,
.accepted Mr. McKenna's proposition on
"ponditlonr that the trustees of tbe Mc
Minnvhle college would move that insti
tution to th site offered by Mr. Mc
Knna and raise in Oregon $100,000 to
ward the endowment fund of tl, 000,000
.f which Mr. Rockefeller was to furnish
the remainder. .
The Baptists of Oregon failed to do
1 he part assigned to them. On the fail
ure of the Baptist people, Hon. P. L.
Willis asked for an option on the prop
osition in behalf of the Methodist Epls
conal church. The result of this option
whs the establishment , of the Portland
university, the history of which Is fa
miliar to the people of Portland. Mr.
raised for th Portland university was
th larreat Bubscribd without condi
tion of reversion.
Tb grand boulevard ayBtem and Co
lumbia Park on th peninsula ar due
to Mr. McKenna' untiring effort,
building on th peninsula was rected

avenue and Dawson street by Francis I.

Story of a War Trophy.
From th Clinton Democrat.
Bose Garth of Clinton probably made
the first corn shelter used In Missouri.
Fifty years ago, in 1858, he devised one
from water-oak plank and tenpenny
nails. ... 1..
He used It on his rarm untu ikbi,
when Price's men came through there,
saw it was a good thing, and took- It
down to Jackson's mill, where it waa
used to shell the corn which was
f round into meal for Confederate aol-lera.
The old corn sheller was lost trak
of for a number of years by its maker,
but afterward he was Informed that It
was being preserved at Washington
among other curious trophies captured
from the south. -., a
