News J jl Progress in Amity School In Half A Century Is Also Reflected In Life of City By MRS. E, M. UMPHLETTE Amity The Amity grammar Bchool is keeping step with the march of progress. The building has been - recently wired for electricity and the coal oil lamps, after half a century's use, bare been relegated to the scrap beap. The history of Amity's public school Is practically the history of the town, as the town derived its name from that of the school. In IMS the question arose among the early settlers of the community of the location for a school house. Solomon Allen, a pioneer of 1847, whose donation land claim was about 3'i miles southeast of what is now Amity and Abraham Oarrl- son, whose claim was about an equal distance west of the present' town near - the Yamhill river, had large families of, school age. Each of these men wanted the school house built on or near their farms. After quite a controversy logs were hauled to build two school houses on the sites of their choice. John Watt, a pioneer of 1M8. upon whose claim about one-half of Amity is now located, also had several children to be educated. As many of the men here had. gone or were getting ready to go to the California gold mines, teachers were scarce. Both school factions asked Ahlo S. Watt, so not John Watt, who was ready to start for the mines, to teach their school. He agreed to stay if they would settle their differences and decide on a site for one school building. After some discussion they compro mised and each faction hauled their logs to John Watt's claim and the" school house was built just north of town and Ahlo S. Watt was engaged aa teacher. As a token of their brotherly coop3ration Watt named the school Amity. The first postofflce in this nelgh borhoodjuJvas located on Solomon Aden.' place and called "Allen's pWo(Iice-' and when It was moved here In the early '50s the name was then changed to Amity. This log SShtoI buHjIlng was used isitil J857. In that year The Sons of Temper ance and the school district erected a two story frame building on a block of land which had been do nated by E. C. Williams, a pioneer of 1846, from his donation land claim. The lower part was used for school purposes and the Sons of Temperance occupied the upper story. Later the Masonic lodge ac quired the Sons of Temperance in terest In this building. What Is now Amity Masonic lodge was Instituted at Bethel. -Polk county, August a, 1857, under, ths name and title of Bethel lodse No. 20 A. F. & A. M. On January 11. 1801, the lodee was moved to Amitr and the name changed to Amity ioa?e no. aj. Thomas B. Jackson, who afterwards moved to Salem, where he resided until his death a few years ago. was the tint wor shipful master of the lodge afler us removal to Amity. A number of pupils who attended school In the second building are still living here. Among them is Mrs. R. W. Lancerield (Miss Jennie Maddox), who relates an incident that happened when D. P. Mason, who is now a pioneer druggist of Albany, -was teacher. Tho school butldtng caught fire and after the blase was extinguished a report was circulated among the pupils that the Masons' "goat" had escaned during the confusion. The biir boys played "hookv" ths rest of the day and searched for the missing animal among the brush along the creek which ran near the school house. I never knew whether the goat was recaptured or not." said M'a. Lancefleld. "but the Masons con tinued to hold their meetings above the school room as before. ' In 1875 this building was sold at auction and was bought by R. J. Lancefleld for the Masons who moved It to Us present location on iTaae street adjoining the Bank of Amity and is now occupied by a restaurant. Alter the removal of the buildinr from the square a defect was found In the title to the land. Mr. Wil liams, the donor of the land said that he would perfect the title on condition that the land should nev er be fenced, nor any buildings erected thereon and should never be used for any other purpose whatsoever except as a play ground for school children, to which Charles H.

Jack, employed by the school board and Ephrlam Brown engaged by the Masons, ac cording to A. M. Waddell, now of McMinnville, who was superinten dent at that time of the Ladd and Reed farm west of Amity, now known as Broadmead. The school board of 187S In be half of the dl;trlct bought the land where the present building now stands and they also employed Col onel J. c: Cooper, now of McMlnnr vllle, author of "The Yamhitls." "Red Pioneers," etc., and well known in Polk county, where be ran a store at Zena for a number of years, to erect the building. As a testimonial of Mr. Cooper's workmanship after 55 years of con tinuous use. the building still stands plumb, with all the joints in place1. Many men. who afterwards be came prominent In the affairs or Oregon were teachers or pupils of the Amity schools. Among the teachers are Ahlo 8. Watt, who later was government surveyor, Matthew P. Deady. who was United States Judge of Oregon: Judge Wil liam Galloway. A. L. Frailer, who was Juvenile Judge of Portland: John Mills, who was later a con gressman from Missouri; Henry Hewett, who was also a circuit Judge and J. A. Buchanan of As toria, now In the Immicratlo- servlce. Some of the students r jo have made their mark are Harvey W. Scott for many years editor of the Oregonlan. Levi Ankeny, who was a United States senator from Washington; Jay Coulter, who is now a practicing attorney before the United States supreme court at Washington, d, C, end E. B. yatt or Falls City, who is promm?rit In Masonic circles. These changes have taken place In the memory of people who are yet living, as two known Dunlls who attended school in the log building are sun in uiegon. They are Mrs. Aurora Bowman of Portlenrf a daughter of John Watt, who at tended the first school in '49 and Mrs. Margaret Powell of Hlllsboro, a daughter of Stanley Umphlette, wno came witn nor parents to Oregon la 18.45, and, attended this .school -in '53-'54.

Another Relic Joins Museum Of Scio Store Scio A relic of civil war days has found Its way to the collection of curios at the Morrison store in Scio. It is an old muzzle-loading rifle that lay under a log near bcio during the greater part of ' hat mighty conflict on the slavery question. It Is related that Oregon was about evenly divided on the ques tion, there being so many southern ers here at that time. Oregon, did not send many recruits to the ser vice in that war. Many engaged in the military service, however, but were assigned to duty in Indian wars in Oregon 'and vicinity. Those who remained at home we're deprived of firearms, so tradition has it. Thereby hangs the tale of the old rifle, that was "cached" under a log near Scio. Oreene McDonald, father of Mrs. McKnight and Mrs. Ewing of Scio, owned the weapon at that time, according to a story related to The Tribune. Rather than surrender the gun, McDonald secreted It in the timber on his place near Scio until the war closed, as it had been a keepsake In the family for a long time. The old rifle is a heaw one and la said to jave been an un-erring piece ( artillery in its dav. Former ly, It was much heavier than at present, as several Inches of the barrel have been tak?n off since it was manufactured. It still weighs 12 to IS pounds.
