In their story are mentioned the names of many men. prominent. Who are now active In the affairs of the state. Several pioneers, whose memories of the early yearn in tin- valley are clear, tell the story of Monmouth, as it Is related to the pioneer Church here, as follows: "In Illinois In the eurly '30s a jroup of men was planning to come to the Oreicon country for the purpose of building neW homes and to eutab-1 llsh a Christian college. Between the years of 1848 and 1853 they arrived in the Willamette valley. The Tiistory of the Christian church at Monmouth had Us real beginning when these ambi tious men had made their plans, for It was throuxh their efforts that the church wa organized here. They left Warren County, Illinois, and were nil from the vicinity of Monmouth, In that county. They were: Rev. John E. Murphy, William Murphy. hi cousin; Albert W. and Thomas I.iticas, Ira F. M. Butler, Hiuiio Whitman, Elijah Ividson and Henry Round tree. Ar riving: In the vicinity of. what is now Monmouth, rude dwelling places were put up and It was 'decided that this place should be their home. Later the town was staked out. At a point north of the present Oregon Normal school building surveys were made one-half mile east and south, and a square was formed, tiers the city of Monmouth was to rise, and it has not varied far from the original plans down to the present time. "After the settlement had shown signs of permanency a meeting was held of the Inhabitants of the country to select a name. The late Ira K. M. Hutler was chairman. Two mimes were voted upon, Dover and Mon mouth. The result was a tie, and the chairman cast a deciding ballot for 'Monmouth.' Tint Church Members. "The first hook of the clerk of the pioneer church has hern carefully pre served, in which there is the following preamble: 'The following is the list of members of the Christian congrega tion organised at Monmouth, Oregon, July, 1856, the Hihlu alone the. only In fallible rule of faith and practice.

Lucas, one of the charter members and found er of the church, was an untiring laborer as church clerk, choir leader and Sunday school superintendent for 28 years.. He was prominent In church and farm affairs. He died in 1893. "Men who were prominent in those1 , early days were: Albert W. Lucas, Ira F. M. Butler. William Churchill, L. B. Rowland, L.

Campbell, of beloved .memory, who served many years as pastor of the poneer church, while editor of the Christian Messenger and president of the Christian college, "In 1856, when the church was first organised the members met in a little square school house, which stood on th. public square, not far from where the present church building . now stands. For many years regular ser vices were conducted in the school house.

Fay Taft, who was drowned In Yanulna bay March 13 while trying to swim to his home on the opposite side, was 22 years old. and was born In Fremont county, Colorado. Taft was a splen did athlete and swimmer and had made the three-quarter of a mile trip several times. He was dressed heavily on his last attempt, however, and it was high tide and cold. Ho had walked five miles before taking to the water and it is believed that he was taken with cramps when he went down. A lad on the bank, who saw Taft dis appear, gave the alarm. The body was recovered four days later by Fred Lumm, nephew of King's, and Bert King of the life saving crew. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. T.' Hurd of the Presbyterian church.

"The university building became in adequate, and the result was the erec tion in 1871 of the middle wing or center of the present normal school building. Middle Wing Built. "After this building was made ready for -use, the second story was used as a church room. About the year 1871 the - brethren felt the necessity of a more comfortable place to worship, and commenced to build a church on the corner where the girls' dormitory of the Oregon Normal now stands. Having given of their means and labor so liberally to maintain the college, year after year, the financial problem confronted them seriously, and the building now stood incomplete for several months.. Finally a big effort on the part of the citizens of the en tire country about Monmouth resulted in the finishing of the new building. "Early in the '80s the church found that it was not financially able to support a college, and so granted the buildings and adjoining land to the state for use in starting a normal school here. While the church stood on the corner where the normal dormi tory now is, services were held there for about 16 years." (Halem Burean of Tbe Journal.) Salem, Or., March 21. Unique In that he has neither platform nor slo gan. Judge Wlliam Galloway, circuit Judge of the Third Judicial district, comprising Marion and Linn counties, today filed his declaration of candi dacy for the Democratic nomination for supreme court judge. He says that he will let his record stand as his platform. Only one other Democrat has filed for the supreme court, this being Jus tice William Ramsey, a present mem ber of the court by appointment of Governor West. Four places are to be filled on the state's highest Judicial bench. William Galloway was born in Wis consin of Scotch-Irish parentage. His father and likewise his paternal grandfather were natives of Virginia. The latter served through the Revolu tionary war and was one of Washing ton's veterans at Yorktown. William Galloway's mother was a native of Ireland, who came to this country with her parents when a child. The Galloway family, consisting of the father, mother and nine children, crossed the plains to Oregon in 1852 and settled in Yamhill county. At the age of 16 years William Galloway struck out for himself and for three vears worked with a pack train trans- nortins- aunnllps to the mines of east- ' logging. em OroB-on and Tdaho.

In th- northwestern part of Clarke countyJ nestled In a splendid agricultural and dairy secticn. is the .thriving city of mugriieia, Washington. Strawberries are made a soecialtv bv farmers here and the cultivation of this berry is extensive. The average re turns from strawberries run from $400 to o&o per acre. Other berries also grow well In this soil and climate. All mature with their natural flavor and with pure sweetness of the fruit that is grown without Irrigation. Black berries, loganberries, red and black raspberries are raised in and around Rldgefleld In abundance, and are of first class quality. Most of the apple orchards are young and consequently not heavy producers. but the older orchards are' returning handsome, dividends to the owners. The prune crop Is one of the best paying ones in this section and this farming community and Sara and Fellda, two settlements to the southeast of Ridge field, have some of the largest prune orchards in the northwest. Last year. John Morris Hoff, of Sara, dried over 25 ton of this variety of fruit. Mr, Hoff s prune orchard comprises about 13 acres, and now he has about 1604 trees of the different varieties. From last year's prune crop Mr. Hoff real lzed over $3200. Though this is not an extensive grain country, the average yield for fall grain is, oats, 50 bushels, and wheat, 35 bushels. Peas average 28 bushels. Pota toes are raised extensively, upwards of 30,000 sacks being shipped from Ridge field each year, crops being 200 and more bushels to the acre. In dairying an average return Is $100 per year per cow. With outside pasture 11 months of the year, hay pro ducing from two to four tons of the finest clover, root crops producing big yields, corn for ensilage from six to nine feet tall, butter fat averaging for the year 31 cents per pound, veal sell ing at eight cents to 12 cents per pound. Conditions for dairying are al most ideal. Ridgefleld has excellent transporta tion facilities, being on the main line of the Northern Pacific, O.-W, R. & N. and Great Northern rail roads, which operate 18 trains every 24 hours. This service is suppl mented by the steamers Modoo and Mlmare. the former having alternate service, and the latter daily service be tween Ridgefield and Portland, and carry freight and passengers. With little dredging of Lake River, this place can also have a deep water way to the Columbia river, thus permitting vessels of deep draft to load and un load here. Recently, through the ef DAVID M.

THIS WOMAN SAYS AKOZ SAVED HER FROM YEARS OF SUFFERING Victim of Arthritis Deformans Recoviifs Doctor Said Her Rheumatic Condition Was Incurable v.- David M. Guthrie. Dallas, Or., March 21. David Mor row Guthrie, who died March 16, fol lowing a paralytic stroke, was born In Boons county, Missouri, May 28. 1824. His ancestors were of Scotch descent and were among the early settlers In Virginia. In 1846 he started west over the southern route, and upon arrival took up a donation claim south of Dal las. In 1851 he was married to Miss Mary Ellen Davison, and five children were born to this union. Mrs. Guthrie How she was saved from years of suffering and helplessness by using Akos, the wondeful radio-active medic inal mineral, Is told by Mrs. Jennie B. Purdy of Lodi, CaJ.. for two years a victim of arthritis deformans, on of the worst forms of rheumatism. The letter was unsolicited. It tells how she suffered, how she tried other remedies without success, how the doctors told her there was no cure for her ailment, how the joints of her body became dis torted and she could do no work and how finally she came to use Akos with the result that all pain has left her and she is able to do any kind of work. Mrs. Purdy says: "I feel that I should let you know how much Akos has helped me. It is ri,hPi-. n..! n vii.- vr.f-th. nearly two years since I became ar Kmmtllr..

"At first I thought It only a severe attack of Inflammatory rheumatism and began trying to get over it. I doctored for several months before the ohysician finally pronounced It arthri tis and told me there was little or no help for me, that it was seioom re lieved to any extent and never cured. it wa like a death sentence to me, for I was only about 43 years of age nn,l hnA olwava been very energetic. and to anticipate 20 or 80 years of helnlesaness fairly appalled me. How ever. I determined to try everything I heard of, and for the next year there was not a liniment but I tried, every natent medicine and every noma reme dy any one recommended, but I stead ily grew worse. My hands and wrists became so misshapen and lame that I could not do my own work, and would spend a day or two In bed If I even tried to do the most simple household tasks. I couldn't shake a dust cloth nor lift a teakettle without intense pain. I seemed to hare It all over; my feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, hands, wrists and Tn my neck.
