"Salem was very primitive ,
flicn,'' said Judge Peter II. j
b'Arcy In describing the town to :
jrhieh he came. 71 years ago. Lit- j
fle Peter D Arcy. tnen live jears
nd eight months old, arrived in
lalem October 20, 1S59. The
family had come from New York
(There he w born. They ar
rived In San Franciaco in Sep
tember, 1855, and in 1857 came
V Portland, then on to Salem
in 1859.
Judge D'Arcy recalled with a
srnile his first day at school
which occurred soon after he
reached Salem. He was arraia ,
and did not want to go. miss
Ruth Hawley dragged me there.1
he smiled, "and I pulled back all
the way. In a few days, how
ever, I thought I owned the In
stitution." be chuckled.
His teacher was "Mother Wil
bur", wife of the pioneer min
ister and was loved by all her
jupils. At the end of his first
school year little Peter was
made very proud and happy be
cause Mrs. Wilbur presented him
with picture in reward for his
ood behaTior.
Atinth-- reminiscent chuckle;
was evoked when he recalled the j
time when he appeared on the
school program. He had been
in school only a short time and
the older pupils, especially the j
girls, were anxious that the little j
bov with the dark curly hair j
should nave a piace. rus uiuiutri
was present to see him "distin
guish the family" but in the
midst of his part he broke down,
largely because of stage fright,
wi mnther was terribly humil
iated and thp black curls were '
bowed in di.-gtace, so he felt.
Salem's
Virst Newsboy
Judge D'Arcy received his A. ;
t S 76 and was admitted to the j
Oregon bar in 1876. There is not
judge or a bwyer now living
ho was practicing law in Salem
r -the time he began his legal
practice.
Peter D'Arcy started learninc
fiio nrintir.c business whn 13
ytars old and worked at it for ,
l' years. He T.-as the first news- !
boy in Salem and recalls with
pride the day h earned $20 sell- j
in? papers. To be sure this was j
a special paper containing the '
long poem "The Carrier's Ad- ;
dress" which he wrote and which j
v.-as published in the paper that
x eek. This weekly paper at that j
time was known as the American j
Unionist but later went back to j
i(s former name of The Oregon j
Statesman. )
There were between 3000 and (
5 "00 people In Salem when he j
hcan his nracllce in the one
story wooden building where the
Oregon building now stands.
Judge D'Arcy was offered this
building and the corner for
$1800 but was afraid to take the
chance.
Judge D'Arcy has known ev-'
pry governor except Gates and
Abernathy and recalls when Sen
ator Shortridge was elected to
the United States senate. Friends
of the newly elected senator gave
a banquet in his honor In San
Francisco and D'Arcy was one
o( the speakers. Shortridge re
quested that he be on the pro
gram because D'Arcy had been
his assistant when he acted as
janitor of the east side school In
Salem. In recalling this fact at
the banquet Shortridge boasted
that he and D'Arcy had the
cleanest school in Oregon at that
jtinie.
In addition to other posts and
offices which Judge D'Arcy has
filled, he is one of the directors
of the Oregon Historical society,
has been president of the Cham
poeg Memorial association for
2" years and is past president of
the Oregon Pioneer association.
He has served also as clerk of
the supreme court, as municipal
judge and mayor of Salem.
Because he knows "A thin
space from a composing stone."

Discount, if you can political "promise" and extravagant "statements." Your
voters' pamphlet quotes the "Grange Bill" exactly as it is shown here. And if you
like, read the arguments there, both for and against it. But be sure that you do read
the. bill. And see if there are any points which are too broad, too loosely worded.
Remember it is a constitutional amendment and not merely a temporary measure.
