"Dear Ones in the Homeland,"
"We hare so much to praise
the Lord for as we send forth an-
other 'report. Praise Him for a
L safe return from the mountains.
Husband came for baby and me,
as we tad been compelled to flee
there to escape the intense heat
- of the plains which is fatal to
children. While in the mountains
an unusually heavy rain occur
red, causing the already soaked
earth to give way. Scores of land
slides slipped down the mountain,
blocking roads and railways,
crashing; some houses and endan
gering many lires. ' God though
slides occurred above us. He pro
tected us, We were bq glad to get
back to our station after two
days' -hot and tiresome journey
on Indian trains. People wonder
.why we are not lonely here for
lack of association with white
people in this Jungle. But, oh the
peace that fills our hearts.
Immediately upon our return
we were tested severely -with
sickness. Our own baby, Joseph
Arthur took with Vomiting which
continued five days, then other
children took the same, others had
fever,, one girl was wasting away
had been sick for a month with
all symtoms of walking typhoid.
We haven't even a temperature
themometer here, so we just have
to cast ourselves wholly upon Him
who knows the diagnosis of every
case and can heal and save to
the uttermost. Even some of you
who are reading this may think
we are going too far, having
seventy' odd souls in our care.
But we can only say, if we choose
to lean upon the arm of flesh, we
will employ a physician, nurses,
establish a dispensary, etc., like
other missionaries and do the
' hing properly. But we see in
God's word, a perfect redeemer
for body as well as for soul.
, "He has worked as the physl
clan for this mission for IT years
and we believe He is all-sufficient.
We must say our sister Mc
carty Is an exam pie of His mir
aculous keeping power.yShe is one
of, the. only two missionaries we
have ever heard of who has never
been to the hills for even a month
during the intense heat. God has
graciously kept her, but we feel
to insist upon her going hereafter,
to preserve her vitality.
"We were practically driven
out of our Darauli out-station.
The people in general wanted us
there, but the educated Hindus
hindered them from renting a
house to us for our preacher.
When the people pr 6 tested, saying
"they are quiet and peaceable,"
then these men said, "Yes, their
Bible tells them to be peacable
like doves outwardly, but inward
ly like serpents." We have opened
another station at Bhatpar Rani
on the railroad, a good location.
; "Since we 'wrote our last letter
about the mob, we have learned
that it was their plan to make it
a "Chauri Chaura' affair, but
fear came upon them. Four years
ago, at Chauri Chaura, 30 miles
from here, at the refusal of the
government officials to comply
with the demands of the non-co-operators,
a mob attacked their
headquarters, burned all building
to the ground, holding the offi
cers in the flames with bamboo
"lattls" as they attempted to es
cape. "The telegraph wires had been
previously cut. Then the whole
village deserted theid homes and
fled before the soldiers arrived.
The government hung 72 of these
men, . others they deported. The
leaders of the mob that gathered
here, have either been dismissed
on transferred. We thank God for
His protection over ns. Little
riavid over whom the trouble
arose, is firm and determined in
his faith, is such a dear and wil
ling child. Would one of the
Master's chosen like to adopt him
for Jesus' sake? He believe's he
is one of the Master's .chosen ves
sels. "We have put the Brahman
pundit and wife with one of the
older preachers in an out-station
F. J. Smith, Descended of
of Francis Drake, Writes
for Statesman
(Contininnl on page 5)
(By Frank J. Smith)
The choosing of a vocation or
life work is, in the majority of
cases, accidental. Some are select
ed by the party of the first part,
according to their fitness or a pre
conceived idea of said fitness,
some selected by the parents of
said party and some are acquired
by what might be termed heredi
tary influence.
I have rapeatedly been asked to
relate my first experiences in the
vocation of the now lost art of
Fteambopting. an occupation that
has produced more thrills, excit
ing moments and anecdotal and
historical reminiscences than any
other branch of industry on the
face of the earth.
The query has often been pro
pounded as to why 1 chose the life
of a riverman in. preference to
other pursuits on land and the
answer has invariably been met
with an answer in one word, he
redity. The experiences of the writer,
covering a period of fifty-two
years began March 18, 1873. This
was twenty-three years after the
first steam boat breasted the wa
ters of the Columbia and Willa
mette and at a time that river
navigation was at its height.
In order that the reader may
not be tired by a lengthy article I
will endeavor to take up but one
subject at this time and that will
relate to my initiation into that
mysterious order, the river clan.
On Saturday, March 16, 1873,
word was sent out that the new
Willamette steamer Governor
Grover was ready for inspection
at the wharf of her owners, the
Willamette River Transportation
company, and that during the day

the river.

Editorial Note: Because the
principles underlying the Boy
Scout movement are among the
f ineBt at work in boys lifer- The
Oregon Statesman has offered a
department in the Sunday paper
for the organization's exclusive
use.
Scout news, furnished by the
boys themselves, will be found
regularly in the Sunday issue.
Cascade Council Hosts to Patrol
Leaders of 1926
The 1926 convention of the
Oregon state patrol leaders will
be held at Corvallis. There were
over three hundred patrol leaders
present at the Portland conven
tion and it is expected that this
number will increase about 25
per cent in 1926 so the scouts of
this council will have a real
piece of work to put ojrer.
Committees will soon be apr
pointed to handle the details of
the next convention in every way.
Any suggestions for the im
provement of the convention will
be welcomed at local Scout head
quarters. Of the three hundred
scouts present forty-five of these
were from this council, more than
were sent by an other council
outside of the Portland council.
The following talks and presenta
tions were made by the scouts
whose names are listed:
Address of welcome to visiting
delegates was made Eagle Scout
Kenneth Wells, senior patrol
leader of troop No. 40, Portland.
The response for the Cascade
council was made by Scout Ar
dery Rankin of troop No. 4, Sa
lem. The Duties of the Patrol Lead
er, by E. Perry Thompson, senior
patrol leader of troop No. 2f Sa
lem! The Duties of the Assistant
Patrol Leader by Robert Wagers,
patrol leader in Troop No. 1,
Salem. The Duties of the Senior
Patrol Leader by Eagle Scout
Gerald Held, senior patrol leader
of troop No. ,2 Corvallis. The
Duties of the Scribe by Edgar
Batchellor, scribe of troop No. 1,
Corvallis.
These scouts all made ten min
ute talks that were exceptionally
good and to the point and caused
favorable comment on the part of
patrol leaders and scout execu
tives. The Saturday afternoon
session of the convention was de
voted to competition in general
scouting events, held between the
twelve conference troops.
Eagle Scouts Awarded Badges by
. - i - Governor , , 4-
Scout Charles Campbell of the
Cascade Council, whose home is
in Dallas and ten other scouts re
ceived their badge of Eagle rank
from the hands of the governor
of the state of Oregon.
The presentation was made at
1:30 p. m., Friday on the deck
of the historic battleship Oregon.
Before the presentation, the gov
ernor told the boys something of
the history of the battleship Ore
gon, recalling to their minds its
famous trip around Cape Horn in
1898. He also stressed the citi
zenship value of the scout pro
gram. We hope that at some later
date, Governor Pierce will be able
to make another presentation.
Christmas Camp
The fee for the winter camp,
which will be held at Neskowin,
on the coast, December 26 to 31,

aproximately fifty scouts in this

has guaranteed to take twelve
places. The fee charged includes

Melody in P
Rubinstein, Anto (1829-1894) b
Bessarabia, Russia.
Anton Rubinstein founded the
music schools ' in Petrograd and
Moscow where the present mod
ern Russian composers have re
ceived their training. He is bet
ter known as a concert pianist
than as a composer although his
compositions will always be re
membered by the world. Rubin
stein made a concert tour of
America in 1872-3. "Melody in F."
one of the composer's well known
works. Is full of imagery and fol
lows the song form so that, while
not so called by Rubinstein, it
might well be named a song with
out words. Originally a piano se
lection, it has been used for many
instrumental combinations and has
has also been given, words by the
poet, Michael Watson. As a vocal
number it is a favorite with the
schools.
The well-known melody of the
composition, with its calmly flow
ing rhythm, sings itself naturally.
Each phrase moves to a graceful,
almost unnoticed, climax as the
melody rises and falls within its
phrase limits. There is a middle
section in which the theme has a
vague wandering character and
which is gradually retarded. Then
the first melody again returns.
Part III, Anitra's Dance
This number ia used in the
desert scene where the daughter
of an Arab chief dances for the
fickle "Peer." He is so charmed
by the wiles of the Arab maiden,
"Anitra,' that he gives her all his
jewels and gold. This melodious
Human treasures? . i . . . '
Who are they? .Where are they?. How many do you know? '.' '
A city's'importance we measure in terms of, banks, of dollar, of
houses built, of streets paved, of manufactured products,: of crops
raised, of people lumped all together as though one was as Import
ant as another, and called, for want of a better name, population! '
'. .- A total error. A city is called ft good city when high, wages are
paid,, when business is brisk, when work is plentiful,, when a goodly
number of men whose names are
known .throughout the state or
nation reside there.
-- Do these cold facts make a
city? i When- you are far away,
perhaps making as much, mosey
or living in as good a v house,
what makes you think with un
dlmmed affection ef the old town
back home; "back home", even
though you have, been' away for
years. . . , . ; ' -. -
Not the population. Not, the
dollars in the banks. Not the
number of paved streets. Not any
of these cold, catologued facts,
. It is the human treasures that
you remember.
Human treasures whose names
seldom get into type. Of course,
they may be members of Rotary,
or Kiwanis or Lions, they may be
ex-city councilmen, they may be
prominent socially and financial
ly, to be sure. But probably they
are not. Probably they are only
"folks," human, simple, under
standing, treasured only by the
few fortunate enough to know
them, and yet among the city's
greatest assets- These human
treasures.

Largo from "Xerxes"
Handel, George Friederich (1685
1759) b Halle, Germany.
. Handel, the son-of a barber,
valet to Prince Saxe, was born in
Germany -but spent the last of hie
life in England and became a
British subject.. He is buried in
Westminster Abbey. Handel
wrote forty operas, none of which
is now performed. The air now
known as "Largo" was sung at
the beginning of the first act of
the opera "Xerxes," and was in
praise of the plane tree (our own
sycamore) whose branches shad
ed the hero. . : ...
The "Largo" is of such majestic
beauty and inspiration that it has
come to be regarded as sacred,
and is usually associated with sac
red words. It is always with a
spirit of reverence that we listen
to this composition. -

commendable community spirit
than that of loyalty to a town ii
