"I was born near Sk Louis, Mo.,
March 20, 1848. My father's
name was Lewis Jones. My
Mother's maiden, name was Mary
McAlpine. When we reached the
Willamette valley father took up
a donation, land claim in the Wal
do Hills, not far from the present
town of Sublimity. Father did
well, and within a few years
bought a farm near Jefferson, so
we children could go to school at
Jefferson Institute. Before that
he had hired Mrs. C. H. Ma toon.
whose husband was one of the
famous BaDtlst exhorters of the
early days, to serve as our nurse
and governess, as there were 14
of us children. Later I went to
school to Mr. Matoon. He was the
author of 'Matoon's -Arithmetic,'
and also of a history of the pio
neer Baptist Ministers of the
West. He was a mathematical
genius and a man of strong con
yictions and a powerful and con
vincing revival exhorter.
"On October 14, 1866. I was
married to G. W. Johnson, who
had come to-. Oregon in 1841. My
husband enlisted toward the close
of the Civil war, but the War end
ed before he saw any service. We
lived in Jefferson till 1870. when
we moved east of the mountains
and ran stock on a ranch near
Mitchell for the next five years
We moved back to Jefferson and
from there to Scio, and in 1883
we came to Salem and my bus
band went into a men's furnishing
store with J. H. Lunn. We had
six children. Our first child was
a boy, Oscar Marion. Our next
child. Rose, married Willis Mc-
Elroy. sOn of E. B. McElroy, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion. Lulu Belle, our next child
married Frank Baker, a letter car

and Paul are in business hefe in

"Yes, I have lots of relatives

Hope Not Abandoned
PARIS. May 12. (AP) Al

public have all but given up hope

Sadi Lecointe, who was Major
Coil's partner in a Mediterranean
flight in 1920. was one. of those
still clinging stubbornly to hope
that the aviators were safe.
"Francois sky science, his cool
ness and clear sighted ness have al
ways pulled him out of trouble
in the gravest hours," Lecointe
said. "Moreover he was with the
most courageous and most ener
getic of men Nungesser. Ican-
not believe that the White Bird
wil not be found. I am still hope
ful despite everything."
With hope all abandoned in
many quarters, the eye of. all
France today turned towards New
Foundland in vague belief that a
clue to the mysterious disappear
ance of the F,rench airmen would
be, found there in the report that
the motor of an airplane had been
heard early Monday morning.
. A dispatch received in Paris at
6 o'clock tonight from St. John's,
New Foundland. stated that sev
eral persons who claim to have
heard the airplane had told stor
ies that- agreed fundamentally.
Now that search of the English
channel and along the Irish coast
has been fruitless, the St. John's
report is being followed closely.
cave rise to rumors tbjat the Paris
flight, might, be a three cornered
race, but this belief was shattered
when it was recalled that Byrd's
financial backers had' formally an
nounced last nlgHt that the Fok

Lindbergh flew In his single
seater from California to St. Louis
yesterday and 5 from St. - Louis
here today, making the hop of
950 miles in an average speed of
1,20 miles an homr. Because of
his apparent hurry in coming from,
thte west it was thought in "many
quarters that he would . hop qff
tor, France after only a minimum
rest. But shorkly after landing
the, young air mail pilot announc
ed that he would leave neither to
night nor tomorrow.
The time of my departure,' he

to attempting the long hop.
By Saturday Charles Lindbergh
who arrived today from St. Louis
in a single seater will be rested
from tils two day flight across the
country and the attempt - for the
825,000 Orteig prize may -very
likely develop into a race between
the two monoplanes.
Because of the speed with
which he had flown across the
country in two giant hops In his
Ryan single seater monoplane,
enthusiasts had believed that he
would let no other entrant get
away ahead of him.
With the Bellanca at Mitchell
field tonight and the ,Ryan at
Roosevelt field the Fokker mono
plane built for Commander Rich
ard Byrd at Hasbrouck Heights
was unexpectedly started on a
flight to Roosevelt v field with
Byrd following in another plane.
Byrd Not to 'Leave ;
Announcement of the move
st'nt tragedy has' thrown its pall
over the nation. More than half a
rafjlion Americana today are wi th
ose homes, destitute and depend
ent upon the great hearts of their
fellow citizens for the means of
bar existence. They could not
raise crops this year even if the
floodSs were to subside tomorrow.
They 'have no homes, no money to
buy food andv clothing, no stock
wherewith to'Atill their fields.
Their rehabilitation is the tas of
all America. ,
In the stridden area the Ameri
can Legion hats turned out and
worked desperately and untiring
ly to fight the, floods, to save
crumbling leveeB, to rescue the
marooned and in every other way
to carry their snare of the load as
Legionnaires are wont to do.
Feeling that tibe Legion in Ore
gon ought to darry on in this
great cause of hnmanity the mem
bers of Salem's Post have hit up
on this flood benefit plan as a
happy solution of the problem.
Bligh to- Cooperate
Frank Bligh, owner of the new
Cajitol theater, when wafted upon
by a committee of the Legion, met
the proposition with enthusiasm
and generously donated the use
of taJs theater, with its orchestra
and complete personnel. The
plan is to place the sale of tickets
in the hands of the American Red
Cross and the Salvation Army of
ficials and to dispose of all tickets
at one price, probably $1.00 each.
