Although he lived elsewhere much of the time, he has claimed Benton opunty as- his home for the last 64 - years. While In Oregon he , purchased bis freedom, fought In the Rogue River Indian -war, helped take care of the freedorn in Oregon. early settlers, and has engaged In many other, activities. t ; ... .

His parents, LouU and Pauline Hunter, were k the slaves of James Southworth. Therefore, Louie wa not born with the surname of his father, but with- the, surname of his master, or as iule eays, "with the name of the boss." " His, full name Is Alexander Zxuls Bouthworth. - At the age of 2 years, Louie was takes to Franklin ' county Missourt, where in I860 his father .died of email pox. In. 1851, James Southworth moved to Marysville, now Oorvallia,' bringing his two slaves, Louie land his mother. About a year later Louie arranged with Ben Richardson, near Monroe,' to - live on a claim that Ben's eon had taken up and abandoned. 'However, the land was held in Btn's name, Inasmuch as a slave could not take j up land at that time in Oregon, : . , i .

I gave Mm. Then at different times I sent small dabs of dast to him varying from $60 to 1100. through John Heisa, who was helping me earn my freedom: My master did not like ' the idea of freedom for me so he suggested that I send the money "through another man. Complying with hia request, X sent him $260 through this channel. But my master's agent! squandered the money on - women and , whiskey. .

Be Cause rifles were very! scarce In, those times, . the soldiers threatened to tktf the gun away from me. Thereupon Colonl Kelsay said -I could keep the gun If I would go along, with it, j Feel ing as if I eould noti part with - my gan. which was the only means of defense I had. I joined the company: During - the -war I was wounded, but was carried off the field, and my life was saved -by Major Bruce, who la brave to the core. - - - . - "This incident recalls the fact that many years afterward X met Colonel John Kelsay and Congressman Thomas H.

"Late In the fall of 1855 I went to Treka, where 1 taught the vicHln and played for dancing schools, becanee I made more money that way than I could by mining.

Judge John Twohy of Twohy Bros. here yesterday, declared .. that he planned to unlock them by the con struction of hlsi California & Oregon Coast railway. r, "The key to th entire situation,! be said at the Portland hotel, 1s the construction of a railroad.

In 'Judge .Twohys opinion, there Is no place quite so promising , as the country through which the line - Is being pushed; and In - this his views are hacked by the actual presence of great undeveloped resources, agricul tural, timber and mineral, all waiting for rail connection with outside mar kets. ' ' - " - "On my recent visit," said the judge, "the prominent resident of the district made it possible for me to see at firsthand a few of the things the .district -has i to offer.

"There are heavy stands of timber carrying- large percentages of yellow, white and. sugar pine and much cedar, A great part of this timber Is of such superior Quality : that . loggers secure prices that justify them to haul it by wagon for IS and 20 miles to Gnnts Pass. 1 - - "The mining ; industry Is another resource that will come to the front rapidly. - Around Kerby and Takllma are a number of clalms-and mines par tially developed.
