The place of which he was the founder was named Eugene in his honor by his devoted wife and my ex cellent mother." For one year they were practically alone with their dear little daughter Mary Elizabeth Skinner. They had no especial trouble with the 38 In dians, there at the time, except Chief Tom. With eight of his friends, Chief Tom came three times to their little cabin on the west slope of Skinner's Butte and made efforts to intimidate them. "Several similar attempts followed and then Chief Tom asked for a smoking pipe of peace and the Skinner family were not disturb ed thereafter. In 1848 the trek toward the Ore gon country was well on the way. Lane county, which stretches from the ocean to the summit of the Cascades, had then a population of one hundred fifty people. Enough settlers were In this vicin ity in 1851 to encourage Mr. An keny to start a store which was managed by James Huddleston, in a lean-to near the west end of the Skinner cabin. Later it was moved near the Ferry street bridge. The paper is also authority for the announcement of the arrival, in 1847, of Charnel Mulligan and Wickliff Gbuley, both single men. Not long after his arrival Mulli gan married Martha Spores, daughter of James Spores, pioneer of 1847. Three sons and two daughters were born to them. The first house built within the corporate limits of Eugene was erected by Charnel Mulligan on what is now east Tenth avenue not far from the present Grey hound station. Skinner and Mul ligan each donted forty acres Of eround to the city of Eugene. The present courthouse and county lail now stand upon the ground donated by Eugene Skinner.

How long the Russians can con tinue to bring up fresh divisions of troops and armored equipment into line of battle to stand off the Nazi onslaught only time will dis close. While London was pleased by the unexpected ferocity of Rus sian resistance, doubt continues to be expressed as to how long the Soviet communications system can stand up under the battering it is receiving from the luftwaffe and the terrific strain of handling movement of hundreds of thous ands of men and their supplies.

France May Seek Armistice in Syria ANKARA, Turkey, July 5 (U.B British diplomatic circles here believed tonight that France might seek an armistice in Syria with United States diplomatic officials acting as mediators Belief that an armistice might be imminent was strengthened by authoritative neutral reports that the discipline of French troops was breaking down. These reports said Sengalese and Amense troops at Beirut were completely out of hand, refusing to obey orders and rioting and plundering. Foraging soldiers, it was said, had clashed with the police at Beirut French sources here, however, insisted that resistance would con tinue in Syria "to the last man." British quarters based their optimism concerning the possl bility of an armistice on recent rapid advances of Anglo-Free French forces. She was born in Springfield, III., June 20, 1871.
