THE OREGON STATESMAN; SALEM. OREGON SUNDAY MOHNING, MARCH 23,-1024 4 .'I - 0 a leaving five children, none of them grown at the time, to the care of their father. Her death must have saddened many other children, for all her life she had devoted time, thought and work to improving the lot of little one in poverty. As a school girl she worked at a small boys' club in Kensington, and later education claimed her keen interest. To the grown-up poor, as well as tnelr offspring, she lent a hand of help, one of her principal aims being to improve the working conditions of barmaids and charwomen. Mrs. Macdonald's interests were political as well as humanitarian, but perhaps the former was but a means of attaining her ambitions in the latter respect. She was the daughter of Dr. J. H. Gladstone, a scientist of some repute, and she first met Mr. Macdonald in 1895. Later, for years, their home was crowded, once every three weeks, with men and women busy in the service of the labor party. But her home was not a political salon, as are the drawing rooms of many of the wealthy wives of politicians. Mostly it was a place where friends were always welcome.

The method of casting bronze In Aus tria is familiar to Mr. Weil, he said, and could not be duplicated easily outside of the country. Mr. Weil is sure it was produced in Vienna. The sculptor's name, in scribed on the bast, is C. Curti, but the name does not offer any clew to the origin of the piece.

The achievement of Ramsay Macdonald In rising from an envelope-licking clerk to the highest political posi tion in Great Britain is tinged with tragedy in the thought that bis wife, who labored with him in his struggles to improve the posi tion of the poor, died before great honors came to him. A memorial erected by Mr. Macdonald and her friends to Mrs. Macdonald in front of their former home in Lincoln's Inn field has, with labor's advent to power, changed from an unsung marble group and wooden bench to a cen ter of public pilgrimage. Daily hundreds leave the rumbling traf fic of Fleet street and the Strand to stroll through the quiet little park near which the memorial with the woman's arms out stretched to welcome a host of little children identifies itself thus: "This seat was placed here in memory of Margaret Ethel Macdonald, who spent her life in helping others." Mrs. Macdonald died in 1911 (With a photo engraving of the statue, the following appeared in the Los Angeles Times of Tuesday morning last) 'It's a email world after all," said Ezra Meeker, oldest living pio neer of the Oregon Trail yester day as he gazed on a bronze sta tue of himself that was uncovered in a small art shop in Vienna and brought to this country by A. Well of Eagle Rock. The romance and mystery sur rounding the statue were heighten ed by Mr. Meeker's declaration that he had not posed for the piece, did not offer an explanation for its presence so far away from the Old West in which he spent his early days. "There are my oxen," said the pioneer as he examined the base of the miniature statue with a magnifying glass yesterday at Mr. Weil's Eagle Rock studio. "Look how that horn turns down: how well I remember that." He found that even the impro vised ciotn teea Din, used in go ing over the pioneer trails, was depicted true to life. The statue itself is Mr. Meeker in miniature The broad-brimmed hat, the bead ed Indian vest, even the gauntlets. the pioneer recognized at a glance.
