pommel of the saddle and the
other about his waist. Then .Tony
walks forward and lowers Tom
so that he can take Miss Sebastian
in his arms. At Tom's signal the
horse . walks backward and pulls
froth out of the coach as it topples
over the brink of the fall.

only when she decides to leave
the monotony and routine of slav

daughter who is going to New
Tork to study art.
Mrs. Hardy had cast aside her
own hopes of an artistic career for
love, but after yearning through
years of drudgery and despair for
he own lost youth and ambitions
she became determined that her
daughter should not be forced to
accept the bleak future that her
environment offered.
To this end she secretly saved
up from her pitifully small earn

eggs, J the sum of one thousand
dollars 4hat the grrl might go to
New Tork and study and be thus
spared the same-empty hopeless
existence.
Just as the sum she had had
her mind set on faor years had at

her mother's wedding gift, Steven
Hardy, in money difficulties as al

Stung by her desperate charges
that he was "nothing nut a com

VALSETZ PRODIBY
TBI
Outstanding School System
Built Up; Leader of
Board Unusual Man
By Anna Elder
OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL.
Monmouth. Jan. 14 (Special)
Valseta Oregon's prodigy , town,
the home of a remarkable person
ality and. an outstanding school
system lies in the'SUets river ba
sin in. the heart of the finest hunt-
ng, fishing and. timber country of
the coast range, and -has made a
phenomenal growth- within the
space of a few years from a wild
erness into a prosperous., progres
sive community of IE 00 people.
No longer than eight years ago the
present townslte of Valsetx and the
site of the lumber mill were cov
ered with a virgin stand of mam
moth Douglas fir.
In 1917 the Cobbs-Mitchell
Lumber -company of Portland be
gan logging operations in the up
per Silets and Lucklamute river
basins, where Camp No. 1 was es
tablished and the logs were
shipper to Falls City where the
company owned a mill. Two years
later the logging operations were
moved further np the valley and
the present mill site was logged
off. over 6,000,000 feet of lumber
being removed from the ground
now occupied by the town of Val
sets. During the following year
the stumps were blown and piled
with donkey engines and later
burned, the cost of clearing the
ground amounting to about $600
per acre. While at Camp 1 the
company built the first school
house in the valley, a building 24
by 40 teet, and engaged Glen
Brown aa teacner. with a census
of 61 children.
A modern mill, one of the larg
est in Oregon, with a capacity of
200, 000. feet per eight hour day,
was built by this company In 1921,
and during the same year they
constructed a dam across the Si
lets river, below the mill, making
a mill pond that holds 40,000.000
feet of logs and covers 600 acres
of land. This pond was stocked
with trout and closed for three
years, and "today we have the best
fishing in .the . state of Oregon"
according to C. E. Powell, woods
superintendent of the Cobbs
Mitchell company. It is around
this mill that the town of Valsets
grew. The name, Valsets, is the
combination of the words "valley"
and "Sileti" the Indian-named
river, which has Its headwaters at
Valsetx and flows through Lincoln
county Into the ocean.
Tne Cobbs-Mitchell company
owns the second largest timber
holdings of any operating com
pany in Oregon, 36,000 acres
which are located in the Sileti
river basin and are of the finest
Douglas fir, amounting to approx
lmately 4,000.000,000 feet. The
company operates on four sides of
their logging area with an output
of nine to twelve million feet per
month. The operating equipment
of the woods department Includes
three Shay locomotives, two Die
sel shovels for building railroads
and many other types of modern
machinery.- The saw mill cuts 8,-
000,000 feet of lumber per month
on two eight-hour shifts per day
It was largely due to the fine
spirit of the Cobbs-MHchel com
pany, which pays 90 per cent of
the taxes of this school district,
number 62, that. the district was
able, in 1924, to build a modern
three-room school on a four acre
tract donated by the company.
During the fall of 1926 the com
pany built a modern dormitory to
accommodate 16 student teachers
and two critic teachers, and in
January. 1927. the school was
turned Into a training center for
the senior practice teachers of 'the
Oregon normal school at Mon
mouth. The Valsets school plant
Is now one of the most modern
and best equipped of its else in the
state with a valuation of $28,000.
The present school board con
sists of D. A. Grout, chairman;
Don R. Boyd, clerk; T. L. Teeters,
and C. E. Powell, senior, member.
and who is. without doubt, the
most outstanding figure In the his
tory and growth of Valsets. It
has been through his keen, inter
est in children and -their educa
tion, aided by the financial back
ing given him by F. J. Oobba. pres
ident of the company, that the dis
trict has flourished, -
Mr. Powell la a big man physi
cally and in all other ways. He is
also a man of many hobbles which
include children, flowers, garden
ing; hunting, fishing, dogs, andj
last but not least, the Valsets
school for which he aspires to
have.no other school excel.

cause he feels It would be good
business or would speak well for
him. -ITl tell the world, the chil-
the- town, but because, quoting
dren need it"
According; to a reliable resident
of the valley. Mr. Powell "is a
"good sport' the kind of a man
who can take his wife and three
women on t long fishing trip, see
to it that they aU catch fish, and
get' his biggest "kick" out of
watching the others pull 'em out.
He Is acknowledged the champion
fisherman and hunter of the val
ley,: and supplies not only his own
table but many others with the
success of his gun and rod.
It may seem strange that a man
following the vocation of logging
should be a keen observer and one
to appreciate; the beauties of na
ture, but as he terms it. "I am a
destroyer of nature that's what
I am much as I love It."
The Powell home is one of the
beauty spots of Valsets, and here
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Powell
and of their three children are al
ways welcome; and where their
hospitality is never limited to
friends only.: As a final proof
that he is an unusual man, Mr.
Powell, In addition to loving chil
dren, flowers, sports, etc., loves
hia wife and shows it.
Mr. Powell's position with the
Cobbs-Mitchell company is a re
BDOnaible one. and the way he
handles men is considered remark
able. A friend of his, R. M. Walk
er,' president of the First National
bank at Independence, once said
of him. "I never knew any man
who could handle men so well as
Mr. Powell. ' I think it's because
he is so Terr fair and 'on the
square.' "
C. O. Wrenn, a native of Flor
ida, was elected principal of the
Valsets school and head teacher In
the high school this fall, and with
him work a! group of four critic
and 17 student teachers. Mr,
Wrenn Is a graduate of Tennessee
Wesleyan Junior college, of the
Willamette university and in addi
tion has taken extension work with
the nnlversities of Chicago and
Oregon.
! He has also had several years of
teaching experience in the schools
of Washington and Oregon and in
tba Oreeon ! normal school sum
mer work. 1 He came to Valsets
with unusual nrenaratlon and
qualities required for the position
With a splehdid philosophy of life
and the rare ability to radiate it to
ntndents and co-workers, Mr.
Wrenn has gained a place of high
esteem in the community, and un
der his guidance the school is en
joying a period of remarkable suc
cess.

THIRTY HE BILLS
Upper Body of Congress
Gets Down To Business
At Eend of Week
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (AP)
Having spent all week talking
about the tariff, the senate de
cided today to take advantage of
the inactivity of the house and
get down to serious work.
Accordingly, it passed 39 bills
and adopted One resolution In less
than two hours; heard a speech
of good will toward France; con
firmed a batch of nominations and
then recessed until Monday when
it will vote on the McMaster reso
lution declaring for a reduction of
excessive" tariff duties.
As is usually the case when the
senate is in a working mood. Its
aesalon furnished nothing of the
spectacular.
There were about a score of
senators on the floor each care
fully following bills as they were
called up. Senator King, demo
crat. Utah, appeared In his role as
guardian of traury funds, forc
ing over consideration of a num
ber of bills on the calendar and
requiring proponents of others to
give detailed explanations. None
of the 40 measures which were
passed along to the house for ae
tlon was of a highly Important
character but by getting them out
of the way the senate cleaned up
Its calendar pretty well and eo
cleared the way for consideration
of several Important questions
next week.
Along about "Monday it will have
the case of Frank L. Smith, sen
ator-elect from Illinois, dumped
again on Its doorstep.
