805 S. Cottage St
By Stuart Bosh . -Two
unpaved county roads cross
at right angles. The tourist in his
shining automobile raises a cloud
of dust, obscuring his vision of
the ' unpainted general store or
service station at the corners,
speeding on his way - oblivious
even to the faded beauty of a
little church that stands amid a
row of poplars in a nearby field,
that has stood there for 100 years.
Such is " the indifference of a
modern age to many a town; Its
glory lost in the summer dust of
back roads, its history all but forgotten.
Such a town is St Louis, Ore.,
today a fertile farming community,
situated on the western fringes
of French Prairie. Once it had a
thriving trade and its townspeople
had the vision of a bright future
Along its main street a row of
commercial buildings faced - the
proud structure of its new church.
There were surveyors, physicians,
coopers and blacksmiths. There
were shoemakers, bookkeepers,
millwrights and gunsmiths. This
was St. Louis, Ore., in the 1860s,
Already it had a tradition and
heritage. It had been a flourish
ing center before there was
Lrervais, Brooks, Woodburn or
Aurora, and before Salem was
yet called Salem. And Its fine
church was the oldest Roman
Catholic mission in the Pacific
northwest. .
Today nothing remains of all
this but the church itself. A few
legends about the town survive
to fascinate the antiquarian, but
the main drama of its rise and
fall from the early days when
the Hudson Bay company sent its
first young Frenchmen out from
Quebec to establish fur trading.
to its dismal destruction when the
Oregon-California railroad (later
to be called the Southern Pacific)
in 1870 gave precedence to other
towns by building its main line a
mile to the east ... all this is
the story that no one remembers.
Father Bartholomew ' Delorme
had gathered the subscriptions to
erect tne nrst mission house in
1844, and he had been glad to
give a piece of his own land claim

may learn the secret of stout
hearted Britain at the core of the
empire on which it was once said
the sun never sets. '
Perched on portable pulpits, a
score of would-be spellbinders,
mostly men of colossal ignorance
and Cockney accent, were ha
ranguing thousands of good-na
tured listeners who heckled or
cheered or sang as the spirit
moved them. Near the famous
Marble Arch we heard socialists,
communist, laborites. Masonic
lecturers, and an "esoteric phil
osopher" who was too deep to
fathom.
Side by side the Salvation Army
crowd was singing gospel hymns
and a gang from the East Side
was drowning them out with the
old popular songs that every one
knows. Before the communist pul
pit a group of tipsy Tommies were
singing, "The Volga Boatman"
to the delight of the crowd and the
despair of the orator. All was good
natured. The famous British saf-
ty valve had blown its top again
and the crowd went home for an
other week of work.
England is poor and hungry.
but the EnglLh are rich and well-
fed on traditions, on cheerful
dogged courage, and the will to
carry on. The men of Britain are
breathing the air of hope and de
termination and fog. Some shad
ows of sunset may fall across the
mighty empire, but "There will
always be an England."
