The days when Lincoln was a thriving grain shipping center, were recalled by former resident Col, Carle Abrams, whose father Louis Abrams owned the general store. ' At its prime, stated Col. Abrams, Lincoln boasted six steamboat arrivals and departures a day dur ing grain shipping season, a saw mill, grist mill, beehive factory, houses, grain elevators, black smith shop, church and village hall. "I've seen farm wagons lined up from the river to the store on the hill, waiting to unload wheat," re counted Frank Boehringer, organ izer with Mrs. J. D. Walling and Mrs. Lois Crawford of the Pioneer picnics. "We had a lively community, with industries, river ice." The Lincoln ferry, regularly freight and daily stage coach serv. ice." The Lincoln ferry, regularly patronized by Salem people after the Willamette river bridge at Sa lem was washed out by high wat er in I860, was operated by the grandfather of Jack Spong, pres' ident of the picnic last year. Lincoln blacksmith Gerth, fath er of Walter Gerth, now of West Salem planted the first walnut tree in Lincoln, although derided by most of his neighbors who said it would not grow here. He kept it wrapped with blan kets the first few winters and eventually sold his first crop for $40 to the amazement of his friends. Ralph Shepard, formerly of Zcna gave some interesting Zena history, stating that recently he took a survey at the Zena ceme tery and found headstones on graves of eight men who had taken up donation land claims there. Among descendants of pioneers preccnt Sunday were Walter B. Hunt, born in 1887, who is the son of the Zena blacksmith. Worth W. Henry was the only descendant of Major, Claybourn and Bolivar Walker present who took donation land claims at Zena. His mother was a Walker. Tracy, Jesse Walling and Eva Walling Purvlne are descendants bf pioneers Elijah and Jesse Wal ling who also took up donation land claims at Zena. Mrs. Greta Phillips Coomler is a descendant of the pioneer Phil lips family, who crossed the plains and settled on donation land claims at Zena in 1847. Sarah A. Hackctt, is the daugh ter of Ben Windsor who cams around Cape Horn from England, eventually settled at Lincoln where he accumulated 1,400 acres of land. Present also were Mrs. Ida Pur vine Willis and her sister, Mrs, Gertrude Purvlne Remingstnn, children of Emily and Jackson Purvlne, early settlers. Mrs. Justine Klldre, who taught at the prcsnt Lincoln school 40 years ago, told much of interest of that period. As a closing number Mrs. Clif ford C. Walling presented accord ion numbers snd accompanied her daughter, Shnrol, when she gave a vocal selection rd Frsnl: Boehringer when he rattled the bones, an accomplishment which he learned 50 years ago. mm els (rv 5c J, mm AW tha milkmaid knows dairy foock wfeJf ' io wiVt caned on her to help uc tell vr the wtmderful values you'll find near sr hand m the section art SAFEWAY she cans PxifiyiANP Closure Due At Camp Adair ALBANY Vacation and dis posal for off-site removal of al most all Camp Adair buildings is required in an unexpected direc tive issued by the Department of the Army, Clyde Rushing, pres ident of the Albany Chamber of commerce said Thursday.
