COUNTY PROGRAM 8 FT Amity The "Better Homes' pro gram sponsored by the Civic Im provement club will be observed at the home of Mrs. L. A. MeCarty Wednesday afternoon April 30 at a to oeiorr. of a lordly maple, even today oc cupies the Identical spot upon which 8. F. Lickens, the father of James Likens, local blacksmith, constructed his smithy back in 1866, Actually using some of the tools that were in his father's shop so many years ago, "Jim, he Is familiarly called by his heist of friends here, Is now carrying on his business at the same stand where nearly three quarters of a century ago, as a boy of eleven, he laboriously pumped the great leather bellows used In those far distant days to fan the blacksmith's fire. A native Oregon lan, born De cember 30. 1854. near the present town of Willamina, Likens sprung from rutted "Pennsylvania Dutch' stock. His parents were member? of an immigrant caravan that fol lowed the old Oregon Trail west ward in 1850. settling in western Yamhill county where Likens, Sr., took up his blacksmithlng trade. In 1866 he moved to Amity, when James was eleven years old. Al though he absorbed some of the smith's lore when a boy, while aid ing his father, James served his apprenticeship in the robust craft under the instruction of -Peter Mc- Carter, an old time smith of this region. Through the years Likens has been loyal to his native state and for the last 64 years, with the exception of a short time In El?ln. he has lived in Amity and 50 years of that time has been devoted to the blacksmith trade. "1 drove a stae," says Likens, "between .McMinnville and Dallas before the advent of the railroad through Uiis section and when thin railroad was built to Corvallls I worked for the company under John Hnriburt, the construction engineer. father of T. M. Hurlburt, sheriff of Multnomah county. In 1875 n as first sworn in as mail carrier and rode a pony express route be tween McMinnville and Monmouth, carrying mail in my saddle bags. Other riders of that era have now passed away and to the best of my knowledge I am the oldest llvtn' mail carrier left of that period." Assisting James in his shop is his brother, Sam, who also was a mem ber .of the poslal service when the hurrying feet of a saddle horse brought the mail to western Oregon towns. Sam Likens was a mail car rier in the days of the famous "Cayuse" Brown, a hard riding mail man and a well known character of this section In the late 70's. James Likens hold charter mem bcrshlp in the Amity I. O. O. F. lodge; when the Koiuiu encamp ment was formed here. Likens was the first member in tbenew order, He is a past noble grand in this fraternity and a past patriarch of Dayton encampment. Farmers now stopping at the Likens blacksmith shop may quench their thirst from the same deep well at the rear. which many of their fathers doubt Irss drew upon. This old well was dug soon after the original black smith shop was built in 1836 by Alex Sutton, another name to be con jured with in Amity history. This well Is walled with brick nauieo from the Prank 8. Hold rid tee kiln at Dayton. Likens has no worries over frozen meters and high water bills as a lusty pull on the well rope brings him up a bucketful of cold. clear water on which no charge is levied. In over half a century spent at the forge and anvil Likens has kept abreast of modern methods. His present equipment includes an elec trical bellows and up-to-date tools. He declares that smithing today has become a much changed trade since the days when old Dobbin was fitted with shoes which the blacksmith fashioned himself. But however clkngcd his work may have become. Likens Is unchanged in his habit of dally Industry that allows him rarh evening to say, like the smith of Longfellow: "Something accomp lished, something done, hath earned a night's repose."

BRIDGE WANTED, INDEPENDENCE Inde pendence Interest - is mani fest here over the prospect of the Gicat Northern railway entering this city, and the probability of the Wil lamette river being bridged at this point, to make a physical connec tion of the Valley 6c Siletz railroad with the Oregon Electric at Orvilie. Several mills operating alng the right-of-way. ilia Cobbs & Mitchell company mills at Valsetz, the larg est, and several camps operated by C. K. Spaulding Logging company, all shipblogs and lumber and other heavy freight tver this line. There is an aim..vt endless amount of timber In the Sttelz basin that must be moved this way. and the road-bed and track has been constructed to take care of this heavy traffic. At different times there has been strong agitation to have a wagon bridge across the river here at this point. The only means of trans portation across the river here is a low water Urry, operated by the adjoining counties, and should railroad brldgs be constructed, it is to be hop?d that some recognition will be taken of this fact.
