STAYTOX, Oct. 10. The
few cold sights were too
much for someone to en
dure, and as a result it is
just too bad for employes of
the McMarr store. Since
moving into their new loca
tion about six weeks ago,
they have had no occasion
to set up their stove, which
was stored in a room in the
rear of the store. NTow when
they need) It, it Is not there.
It is thought that under
cover of darknens some oner
carried it away. Maybe the

a tractor which the lad happened
to be standing on when the gas
Ignited.
At first it was thought hlsin
juries were slight, however, later
it was learned the burns were
deep and he will be in the hos

Good Yield
From Prunes
KEIZER, Oct. 11 At the
state fair we heard a man, evi
dently from Oregon, tell the
manager of the Canadian booth
that the prune crop was a com
plete failure in Oregon and that
nobody was harvesting them, just
letting them rot on the ground.
When that man left we Informed
the Canadian that that man did
not know. While there were a
few who thought best on aceount
of the price of prunes, not to har
vest their crop the Keizer com
munity as a whole took care of all
they could.
One Instance cited will disprove
what that man said.
Fred McCall, a booster for
Keizer and community has 28
acres of Italian prunes from
which he sold 100 tons of green
fruit and had 14 tons of dried
prunes. The dried ones run 35

Monmouth Pioneer Honored
85th Birthday Anniversary
MOXMOUTH, Oct. 11. Mrs.
A. J. Richardson, historic pio
neer of 1846, celebrated her
eighty-fifth birthday anniversary
Thursday, " at her home In Men
mouth. Born October 2. 1845,
at Oregon, Holt county. Mo., she
waa just six months old when her
parents started across the plains
in a train of 100 wagons. They
came via the southern cut-off,
surveyed by Jesse Applegate,
whose wife waa a cousin of Mrs.
Richardson's mother. Of this
large migration, Mrs. Richardson
and her cousin, Thomas Crowley,
of Turner, are the sole surviv
ors. Mrs. Richardson's father, Har
rison Linville, bought a squat
ter's right at Bloomington,
known in recent years as Park
er, near Independence, and op
erated a store and post office fcl
many years. He obtained in 1862
a i license to run a ferry across
the Lucklamute. Mrs. Richard
son recalls vividly those early
days and happenings: "My people
raised lots of vegetables; hay
and wild fruits were abundant,
and. aa we lived on the main
traveled road between Corvallls
and Portland, many emigrants
stopped nights with us. In 1849
there was a constant stream ot
people passing en route to the
mines, so our place grew Into a
stage station of Importance. If
travelers without money Hopped,
they were provided for and treat
ed as royally as any who could
pay. Father went to California
in '49 and brought back a large
supply" of "good groceries sugar,
eurranta, raisins, tigs, spices,
sirups, etc.- so we lived well,
much better than tire average
pioneers of more isolated regions.
Father had gold scales with
which to weigh the precious me
tals offered us by travelers In
exchange for food and suppliess.
Many Cattle Seen
"Hundreds of cattle passed by
and were often rounded up at
our stage station and branded,
and for weeks after we would
have to endure the odor of
burned flesh and hair.
"Cabins ' then were built ot
logs, without nails, had pnncheon
floors, and puncheon doors with
latches of buckskin strings.
Chimneys were built of sticks
and clay; we cooked by an open
tire and baked in old-fashioned
heavy iron ovens brought across
the plains. We leached lye and
made soft soap, which was stored
V woden troughs. Father made
wooden washboards, and wooden
keelers for milk containers, also
a woden churn. He tanned leath
er and made lasts and pegs and
concocted shoes for all our
frU ly.
Clothing Seems Odd
"Men wore serapes for over
coats and their hats were of
braided straw. Women wore i
heavy, quilted petticoats, pantal- j
ettes and bustles. Children's 1
clothes were made of heavy den
im, drilling or hickory. I have
seen children 'dolled up' in gar
ments made from old tents or
wagon sheets, and towels and. ta
blecloths from the latter source
were not uncommon but migh
ty distasteful to the touch!
"Our tables and benches were
pnncheon; bedsteads had only
one leg, the framework being
built Into the wall Trundle beds
for the children fitted under
these larger beds . Fires were
started from flint or powder, tal
low candles , provided ' light and
luxuries were unknown.
"Father had brought a raedi
ctne.chest with him, -and he was
frequently, called to attend the
sick. He served as justice of the
peace for many years, in fact was,
the first judge of Polk county.
He married people free ot charge
just as a neighborly act. School
elections were held at our place,
also county elections, and we us
ually boarded the teacher.
Schools then were maintained by
subscriptions of 25 a child, and
later $3. The teacher would
commence to teach when 150 had
been subscribed. Board and
wSshlng were furnished free of
charge."
Schooled in Polk County
Mrs. Richardson was sent to
I school at Monmouth, and later to
Lacreole academy at Dallas. In

ALFALFA ACREAGE
AURORA, Oct. 11 Walter
Scott of Portland, wno Is an
authority on grain, and pasture
crops, states 500 tons of alfalfa
is being raised on the west side
of the Willamette river this sea
son. The alfalfa fields started in
small patches of an acre or less.
Grimm Dry Land Alfalfa is used.
The farmers are getting three
cuttings without reseeding. It
makes a larger yield than clover,
and brings a higher price. Scott
thinks every farmer should have
a small piece - for his own use,
and does best planted on drained
bottom land, or any well drained
land not too high.
There were two carloads of al
falfa seed sold in the Willamette
valley last year. However the
seed does not mature well here,
owing to climatic conditions.
The seed is taken from the third
cutting. Scott stated his firm
shipped 2000 tons by water out
ot Seattle to Boston and a num
ber of carloads of meal to Scot
land tor prise sheep.
