His latest fol lows : "We are just getting back from a long hike overnight to Bay Ocean. "We left camp at 12 o'clock and hiked full pack and blankets and grub. You would laugh to see some of the kids. Their bed roll around their neck is so big yon can't see the kids themselves. Phil Yoder, Wallace Steed and Don Ewing are all covered up with blankets around their necks. All baggage is inspected to see that it can be carried all right. William Crumley, secretary at Oregon State for the Y. is an old time soldier and served in France with the army. He shows the boys how to pack and roll their blan kets. Every kid is numbered and he has to stay in line. Then two leaders go ahead, two in the mid dle' and three behind. They are hard boiled on the hike and every fellow has to stay in his place and march just so fast, then rest. As Bob Boardman gays, it's better to be hard boiled than sorry about any accidents. "On the hike we sang and yell ed and went all through the light house. It's a great sight, the In struments and lights are very finely made and must cost some money. "Then from there we went to Bay Ocean and camped over night. AH the natives came out to see us and look at some of the Indians we had with us. 'The Ewing cousins are rhanr. ing fast.

E. A. Rhoten beaded the first commit tee and no successor has been named to take his place following his retirement from the council. "Yon may say that I'm going to take up the farmer's burden and insist we get a public market" said Vandevort as he outlined the Injustices Salem farmers were suffering In marketing their pro ducts. "Take mutton; the consumer pays an unfair markup from the price the farmer receives for his sheep on foot," Vandevort said. He went on to illustrate the wide- range between the price quoted by grocers for fruit and the sell ing price. Vandevort said he realised that oftentimes local farmers did not prepare their products in uniform packages and as well sorted as the large houses which market fruit and vegetables exclusively. With a good market, the hard working, ambitious farmer who would raise produce which the consumer would use, much more money could be secured tor the grower, said Vandevort.

These letters were written by Henry Mc Alpln to his grandson, Lewis Jones, who was Mr. Johnson's grandfather. The letters were written from Hawleysville, Iowa, and tell of living conditions there. Among the prices quoted are: cows from J25 to 30 each; oxen S7S to $100; horses $100 to $125; wheat $1.25 per bushel; flour $5 per barrel; corn 40 cents per bushel. One statement is particularly interesting to this generation: it is "Labor is very high, averaging $20 per month and by the day 75 cents to one dollar." The winter was very cold dur ing 1856 according to these let ters. The thermometer registered 25 degrees below sero for a per iod of six weeks. The Johnson family is plan ning a reunion which will be held in Silverton early In August, defi nite plans for which will be an nounced later. TUNNEL IS Plans for the construction of a 1800-fdfct tunnel under Han cock mountain, east of Elkton on the Drain-Scottsburg highway in Douglas county, are being pre pared by the state highway de partment, although actual work on the project probably will not begin for at least two years. This was announced here Wed nesday by Roy Klein, state high way engineer. The Umpqua highway is not a state project, and consequently the work of the state in connec tion with future improvements will be confined to engineering. The cost of the proposed tunnel has not been determined. The expense of the tunnel pro ject will be born by Douglas county, the federal government and the various road districts benefitted by the Improvement. HANCOCK MOUNTl Mil A Triumph In Value-Giving!
