Mrs. Thielsen is a granddaugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Case and rev ering, as she does, the pioneers of Oregon and her own family re gards this house in which she lives as a trust handed down to her by those who have gone before. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Case came to Oregon from Indiana in 1844. Mr. Case was the captain of the emigrant train in which the family came. The train came first to Van couver, on to Portland and then Mr. Case and his family came to never met Dr. : the site ot the present house, not msn," he said, "I like all ex- (far to the west of the present ; i iivrs. have always admired him i town of Aurora. an ! looked "up to him.

The bed steads, dressing tables, cabinets, in fact, every piece of furniture in the house is unique, just the sort of thing a collector dreams about. The construction of the house itself is remarkable. Such a wealth of built-in cabinets, the drawers of which slide perfectly, would delight any housewife. The Case home was the meet ing place of politicians, circuit riders and all travelers in those pioneer days. Mr. Case was coun ty commissioner of Marion county for more than 25 years, was act ive in the work of Willamette un iversity, from which four of his daughters graduated and always did all he could to advance the cause of Christianity in Oregon. There were 13 children in the Case family, four of whom still survive. These are Alice E. Borth wick and Anna M. Maxwell of Portland, Eleanor P. Cranstoun of Boston and Belle L.

The tightening of government at titude everywhere was in evidence. It was estimated from 200 to S00 natives had been seized, many of whom already were on their way to prison.

In the gold rush of 1849 Mr. Case went to California but stayed only a short time. When he return ed he brought a saw mill with him and then began the work of get i ting out lumber for the new home that was to be. Fir. oak and maple were plentiful on the land of the Cases and in time timber was pre pared and the house started. As soon as a room was completed it was turned into a drying kiln for the lumber to be used for the rest of the house. The story is told that no man looking for work was ever turned away from the Cas home. Men who came to Portland seeking em ployment were sent on to Mr. Case and In this way he occasion ally secured the services of ex perts in various lines. The house grew steadily until when completed in I860 it was in deed a mansion. It is 69 feet across the front with an L 25 by 30 feet. It has 10 rooms downstairs, each one opening on the veranda. There is a wing added which is 40 by 40 feet. The porch, which goes around the entire bouse, fis one of its notable features being 213 feet in length. Across the front and side of this porch are 31 col umns, each 12 feet high, perfect ly symmetrical and shaped exact ly, alike. The upstairs part of the house, still termed the attic, al tough it is far from one's concep tion of an attic, is large enough for 28 rooms, each 9 by 11 feet in size.

May 14. (AP) The bulls nailed their colors to the utilities and rails today and marched quietly through a stock market session that offered com paratively minor obstacles to progress toward higher ground. There was little or no effort to over-extend the gains, however, nH arilatnrs for the rise were satisfied with one to three poinf mark-ups in the leading shares. Volume of trading expanded con siderablv over yesterdays, ex ceeding 3,000,000 shares, but the public's participation remained negligible. The price structure appeared substantially firmer, but some of the foundation stones on which any market must rest displayed signs of further sagging.

Hoss pointed out that automo bile owners should not overlook the importance of the receipt of registration that is sent him when he obtains his car license. "This receipt is not just a slip of paper to be ignored," said Hoss. "It U the motorist's evi dence of registration and owner ship and is valuable to him." Hoss said the receipt should be placed in its proper container and kept there throughout the regis tration year. He declared the container is important in cases of theft where identification is im perative. It also is essential when an Oregon motorist visits another state.
