Well, I have lived in Oregon 70 years, so I ought to know something of the needs of Oregon and the West. My full name is Napoleon Franklin Nel son. I was born in Lpringfield. 111., a little over four score years ago. My ratner, ueorge m. nel son, was born in Georgia and was reared in Virginia. My mother, Thetis Norie, was of French and Irish blood and was born id North Carolina. We crossed the plains in 1851. Father spent the winter of 1851-52 in Portland, working at odd jobs. I went to Oregon City in February, 1851, and got a job as printer's devil for Asahel Bush. Bush was born in Massachusetts and came to Portland in the fall of 1850: He had been a printer's devil on the Sentinel at Saratoga Spring., N. Y. He put in four years learning the trade on the Saratoga Sentinel. Many's the time I have seen him standing at the case setting type without any copy. He set up his editorials without committing them to writ ing. He was a good typesetter, being speedy as well as accurate.. m rvii e commissioner for the west in Or-oii district. $27.1.40. l-aac K.

He began court int F.unenia Ziel.er, the daughter of John S. Zither, surveyor general of Ore gon, not long after we went to Salem. She was a nmhty bright aiid lovable girl, and good look ing, too. One day Mr. flush ioll me to stop work aad wash my hands and face, as he wanted me to deliver a very . important letit-r lor him. It was to Miss Zieber. I found out afterwards !t was his proposal of marriage. Iater he saJd to me. 'Here is a letter I wan: you to deliver to. the Rev. F. S. Hoyt at the college.

' Fry. - . .1 Big Event Is on THANKSGIVING FEAST , of High Grade Merchandise at -:- LOWER PRICES! "I worked for Mr. Bush three years. Then, because I didn't like the foreman. I quit and went to work for Charles ilatoon. a Bap tist preacher, who was running a rolfsious paper at Eola, across the Willamette river from Salem, on the Polk county side. His paper was called the Expositor. Mr. Matoon was a hard-headed, hard fisted, hard-workinp, goodhearted. ignorant man. He was a natural mathematician. He was the au thor of Ma toon's Arithmetic-. which was used in the country schools of Oregon in the early '50s. "You can't tell how good the meat is in a black walnut by look ing at its rough shell. Because I look like a 'nut' is no sign that I am one. My hands are calloused and bent with hard work, and I dress roughly, but I havf had a good education. Some people think I am suffering from the il lusion of greatness, but so did Emperor William, and as far as mat goes, you won t nave to go out of this country to find plen ty of men affected in the same way. Everybody is a little off some on one thing and some on another. . ' "When the Expositor at Eola failed I was out of a job. so 1 went to school at Pleasant Hill, in Polk county. "Later I went to school at Dallas. In 1858 I came to Portland and attended the Port land academy and female semi nary, run by Professor C. S. Kings ley and wife. Later I attended Bethel, academy In Polk county, which was in charge of Dr. L. L. I Rowland and Professor Nathaniel HTiriaon. I studied French, Latin. geometry, surveying and trigonom etry there. Dave Holmes was a classmate of mine. William Gal loway, later circuit judge, was al so a schoolmate. "How am I fixed? I can get along. I ain't aiming to be pres ident for the salary. I believe I can do better work as president than a lot ire have had. I believe in woman suffrage and in prohi bition and am against war. I will have two or three women in my cabinet. Idon't Tigure I am smart enough to 'run the whole country, but I. am smart enough to get wise men in my cabinet to help run the country." 7G4.SnI6.20: premiums in course SULPHUR EASES PILES AT ONCE Almost Instant llelief and ut Very Small Cost. i'.
