She willed a collection of some 200 valuable old Japanese prints to the children of the state, to be shown in schools, hospitals or oth er institutions maintained for chil dren. She also left, in trust, around 20 original oil paintings and sket ches, and some oriental brocades. Another bequest was 15 oriental brocades, " which she left to the Royal Ontario ' museusm in Tor onto.. ' ' , . ' Miss Evans was educated in Oregon, and taught . in this state prior to going to Chicago to be come an art teacher. She remain ed in Chicago schools until her retirement, when she traveled over the world. While in Japan she acquired the collection of or iental art and textiles. She returned to Oregon, and stored her . treasures in a ware house here, not showing them to anyone, though storage men say she often looked at them herself. Existence of the work, or her in terest in Oregon children was not generally known until her death, and provisions of the will were read. ' The 200 Japanese prints are of considerable value, and must have been collected over a period of time. They are printed on rice pa per, and some date back to the 16th century. - The oils are Miss Evans own work. She seemed to have done her best work around 1912, when she was in her 50s. Notable among these oils are Big Redwoods" which is said to show a similar ity to the work of Diego Rivera, and "Night Scene in" Chicago." Several sketches of the former piece, done in pencil and in color show the pains with which the artist did her work. Some of the oils bear prize ribbons f rorij east ern art shows. In addition to the works of art, Miss Evans willed $400 to the trustees to aid in financing - the exhibitions. ' . ; Negotiations ae underway, to exhibit the art work in Portland, and it is hoped that later, a travel ing exhibit may be arranged. But the cash allowedtwill little more than cover the cost of mounting and preparing the pictures for ex hibit - - and then a permanent place for keeping them must be arranged.' . v-v; - . ". "Need in Salem for a suitable place to make such showings is made manifest. While an art gal lery does exist in a local store, the pictures could not be placed there for any length of time, and space there is limited. Looking casually over the pres ent plan for city expansion, I see no cultural building indicated, un less it is the museum listed for Bush's Pasture. Some one has sug gested a new and larger library, with space for exhibits or art work and for public classes in drawing or painting or other cultural pur suits. MT. ANGEL Mrs. Rose Apple by -was hostess to her bridge club Wednesday. Extra guests were Mrs. Henry Zollner and Mrs. J. Penner. i - Suits Camp Fire Corner The Cheschamay Camp ' Fire group met with Mrs. P. L. Johnson April 18. Mrs. R. L. Bangs was a visitor on Thursday, April 24. Mrs. M. W.
