SALEM was supposed to have as guest today famed Alfalfa
Bill"(WiIliam H.) Murray, governor of Oklahoma and

ray was on a barnstorming trip through the west hoping to
make a round-up of delegates with which to enter the nar

1896 may be repeated and the honors fall to this fiery torch
'from Tishomingo, who is soul and voice, especially voice of
western discontent, as Byran was in the good aid populist
days of 1896.
- Murray gained national fame by his clowning. He threw
' the state national guard at Texas bridgeheads because of
. some quarrel he had with a, bridge company and with fed

' the. price should go to a dollar a barrel for crude.
These spectacular stunts got him front page prominence.
Add to his dramatic gestures his assumption of vulgarisms
to tickle the ear of commoners and the picture of a typical
demagogue would appear to be complete.

Like other prophets of reform and denouncers of polit

Murray is a type, not uncommon to the western scene;

David Leslie:
(Continuing' from yesterday:)
Rev. James Olley and his wife
came to Oregon from i New Tork
with the Lausanne i pltrty. Her
maiden name was AfleUa Jnd-
son, a Bister of Rev. Lewis H. Jud-
son of the Lausanne party, known
as the "great remrorcement" She
had been married to Robert 'Pur-
kington in New Tork April 15,
1835. On September 15, lSiTafr.
Purklngton died. A boy had been
born to them. The child was ill
and It was thought the widow
would not be able to sail with the
Lausanne party, which she very
much desired, wishing to be with
her people and do missionary
work. The boy died a few days
before the date fixed for the sail
ing of the Lausanne.
She was married to Rev. James
Olley,, on board the waiting ves
sel on October I, 1839. and thus
they sailed as bride and groom for
the field of their future labors,
from the harbor of New York, Oc

The logs were being brought
down to the mission mills to be
Bawed into lumber to finish their
house, which was the second
dwelling (in fact the first private
dwelling) erected in what became
Salem, near the center of the
block surrounded by Commercial,
Chemeketa, Liberty and Court
streets. The first one, at the pres
ent 980 Broadway, standing on
the original location, was both the
residence of Jason Lee and mis
sion headquarters, hospital, guest
place, etc., etc., and the second
one. "the narsonasre." now at 13SK
Ferry, was used for vthe purpose
Its designation indicated, and -for
the entertainment of visitors, etc.
Four mission families lived in the
Lee house, two each on the first
and second floors.
" "
The Olley house was finished
and first occupied by Mrs. Olley
and the family of her brother.
Rev. L. H. Jndson; was later the V
office of the Facific Christian Ad
vocate, and still later was moved
up to 317 Court street and a busi
ness front added, and it was used
for various commercial lines, in
cluding two famous, (or Infamous)
old time saloons. The Judson
family lived in that house for a
long time. Mr. Judson was jus
tice of the peace In the early days,
and so that first private dwelling
waa for a long time virtually the
court house before there was
such a thing as a court house here
the first territorial courts were
held in the Oregon Institute
building. The old OUey-Judson
building stood until about three
years ago, when it was torn down
to make room for the Dr. B. L.
Steeres brick, now the business
place of the Eoff Electric Co.
e
May 7, 1844, Mrs. Olley was
married to Rev. David Leslie,
making a home for the two moth
erless daughters, Mary and Helen.
She long outlived Rev. Leslie, and
was a leader in Salem in all good
works. After their marriage,
they no doubt occupied "the par
sonage," Mr. Leslie being assigned
to Salem and the central Willam
ette valley as pastor after the mis
sion had been dissolved, in 1844.
" V
When the south 40 acres of
the site of the mission had beea
alloted to Rev. Leslie and wife,
for their donation i claim, they
erected a home on - their land,
near where the Sallio Bash home
is now, near Mission street. Some
time after 1859. when their Da-
tent was issued, they traded the
100 acres of the present "Bush
pasture" for the original A. Bush
home on Center street, with some
"boot" in favor of the Leslies.
Then the Leslies went to live in
the former Bush house, now 787
Center street, and the new Bush
house was erected where it stands
now. The Center street house was
the nome of the Leslies the rest of
their lives, and of Miss Helen Les
Ue after Mrs. David Leslie's death.
unui tne latter passed away December-18,'
18 90. That home stood
as it had originally been until
about four years ago, when it was
replaced by the present Chas. E.
RObim home.

Ewing' Young died Feb. IS.
1841, and after his funeral, two
days later, Jason Lee, who preach

present to tarry and resume the
matter of forming .a provisional
government, for Young, then the
richest Individual in the Oregon
country, had died without a will
and left no known heirs, and there
was no law under which to ad
minister the estate. (There had
been a meeting at the -eld mission
Feb. 7,-1841,. for the purpose. of
consulting upon the steps neces
sary to be taken for the formation
of a provisional government, at
which Jason Lee presided.) The
meeting adjourned from the

David Leslie prepared the oath
for officers of the (Second) provi
sional government, who began
their service July , 1848. as fol
lows: "We the people of Oregon
for the purpose of mutual protec
tion and to insure peace and pros
perity among ourselves agree to
adopt the following laws and re
gulations, until such time as the
United States of America extend
their jurisdiction over us."
David Leslie was a member of
the first board of trustees of the
Oregon - Institute, chosen at the
meeting organising it, at the old
Mission Feb. 1, 1848. He was
still a member January 10, 18S3.
when the institution was charter
ed as the WUlamette university,
by the Oregon Legislature holding
It sessions in the basement of the
Institute building unique dis
tinction; for a university , to be
chartered in Us own building. He
was president of the , Willamette
board of trustees until his death,
and acting president of the Insti
tution in 18 17.
Willamette University would
have been entitled to 840 acres of
land had the Methodist mission
not been dissolved. After this was
done,, four members of the old
mission took claims Individually,
under an agreement to give the
University enough land from each
clam to make np 840 acres around
the school. L. R. Judson took his
840 oa tho north. J. L Parriah on
the northeast, W. H. Wills on on
the east and David Leslie oa the
south, so he at one time owned
all the south part of what is now
Salem, excepting the 180 acres he
had promised as his share to giro
to the university.
