AM IMTURKBTINO MtCTUKIt. On February 8th Dr. Jny William Hudson of San Francisco wll lecture on the "Passion Play" as , presented at the little peasant vil Isgc of Oberaninicigun, Garmany The play deals with the scenes uih persons of the Passion Week in the life of Christ, more titan seven liun drcd persons taking part in tiic play nt its home. The persons arc se lected at an early age and trained through many years to take a cer tain character. Their lives and gciv eral moral tone must be of the very lest, else they arc not permitted to take part. The play thus becomes a very import factor in the moral and mental training of these inter esting people. Dr. Hudson has spent several months among these people studying the plot, and char acters of this world famed play. Mr. Hudson is an eminent scholar, being able to speak seven languages thus insuring a masterly prcsenta tion of his subject, he is also able to present many views of the play as seen by him in 1900. Come and enjoy an evening with this scholar and orator and help your public school. CUT TIUDKR. Upon order of the road super visor, William Hawley, Clias. Heir- ford and E. J. Chandler went upon the premises of G. H. Stone, near the city limits of this city, last week nnd cut down a tree. At the time it was supposed that the tree was in the county road. Mr. Stone claimed not and ordered the men off. They failed to go and con tinued the work of falling the tree Mr. Stone had them arrested for cutting timber on laud not their own, and they went before Judge Vaughn for trial, represented in court by Attorney J jlinson, while Attorney John M. Williams con ducted the case for the state. Upon technicality, they were discharged and before another warrant could be issued they had disappeared and atSlast accounts could not be appre bended. It seems there is some difficulty in determining the width of the road at this place, mid the ?Ae may occasion no small amount ft legal dispute should the parties bc'agaiii apprehended.

James Chnpln was 0110 of Oregon's cmllcst pioneers, having croxsod the plain with ox team In 18 17, in corn puny with several others who helped make early history In Oregon. Deceased was it 1111111 held high In the cHtlmnto of IiIh llfo long acquaintance!!, of that peculiar typo characteristic of thoHu who ventured and endured the trlala and exciting scenes of pioneer life in the far Went, cut olfby many months of tedious travel overland from birth home loving friend and rehitlvcH.

Through tho kindness of Itov. Joe II. Sharp who ha been a llfo long associate of Mr. Cliapln tho Nugget was presented with 1 f ketch of the life of deceased, written by Itev. Hharp, dictated in per Hon by deceased himself,' in his inodeit nml retiring manner, and herewith pro- scuta it to the public: iiiounAi'iir or jajikhchai'iv. I was born August 8, IH'.'l', in Onemlngn County, New York. Moved to Ohio, from tliero to Missouri and then to Iowa. From Iowa across the pliiimi with ox tenuis In 1817 to Oregon in com pany with Prior lllulr. Inane ltriggs, Ix-itcr Ilulin, Colonel Him, Alkln, Davin. Charnel, Mulligan and others. Started from Iowa last of March. I think It was hut of November whon we reached ti.evutllomentain tho Willamette valley. Mud plenty of gram on tbu road and our stock fared well but lost two head by Indian shooting them. Our guard did not about when liu ought tobavu done no, but called for me. Before I could get to him tho Indian wan too far away to lilt but I shot cIoho enough to him to make lilm drop bin rabbit skin, you-bet. IndhuiH atolu 11 yoke of oxen but wo got them back. We had no Hickucsa to amount t anything during the long journey. We left the main route some- where near I'nrt Hall and camo In on the Southern route opened by fe'eutt and Apidcgato. I took up n donation laud claim in I So I on the Coast Fork of ,tbe Willamelfo" one mile and 11 half fiTim where Cottage Grovo now is which I mill own and on which I now reside till.' Dccomlicr, 1000. In 1848 I went in company with others to tho mouth of Itogue Itiver going througii Camus prairie (would not do to cull it by its Indian nnlnii) and tb rough ihu tough R'igiie H'vcriiiiiuntainH to Itngue Itlvcr aud down the river to ha mouth, having A good pilot to tdiow dm the way. On thin trip wo were trying toget to Cali fornia. At the mouth of Itngue Itiver tho company had hoiiio misunderstand- ing and a separation took place, about Inilf tho company returning. Part of the company with mo went about thirty mile farther south along tho coast. Indians stole a couplo of ' inulea from Colonel I'ork 011 the moiiutaina near tlio river. In trying to get to California on thin route wo found the Indiana so strong and manifestly hostile that after the division nt our company wo wcro not strong enough in number to successfully make the trip and hud to return. At 0110 stream wo had Indian to cross us over. When they got part of tho com pany over they saw the advantage they had over us nnd turned tho cnuoe looso. Hero wo wcro divided; but wo flnnlly settled tho matter by giving an Indian a shirt to bring uh tho boat. Ho did and took tho rest of us over. Wo found a barricade of split boards set up endwise and seasholls piled on ono sido to inako It solid. After consulting with our guide wo found we would have to pass a nar row place where tho bluffs overhung tlio trail nnd wo would havo to tight at a fearful disadvantage. We concluded it best and safest to return na half of tho company having left us wo were too few in numbers to fight our way through. In 1840 In company with Blulr, Hill apd Briggs I started again to California along tho regular trail by Yrekn to tho gold mines, tojhunt gold. Well, wo hunted it hut did not make much in tlio mines and in 1850 alnrtod home by way of San Fran cisco and took passage on the Ilackon staff 11 llttlo sail pilot boat for tho mouth of the Columbia lllvor, but with ndvorso winds, eight days In a storm of wind and nino days becalmed, wore delayed until we wore about out of proviai.ns and water. Tho captain took sick and en trusted tho vessel In chargo of ono that oltlior did not know how to reckon or lost his reckonings. Said wo wero opo- si to Montoray, California, when wo wero noar tho mouth of Itoguo River. I told tho captain wo wore near Itoguo IMvoras I recognized tho place, remoinboring how tho coast looked as I saw It on provlous expedition mentioned, Tho captain tried to run into tho mouth of Itoguo Itlvor but ran aground, wrecking tho boat, but snyed tho passengers, with out provision, far from tho scttlcmenlH and the roughen kind of mountains to go through to get home. 1 told tho cap tain ho could not get In there as the chart I hiiw did not glvo enough water only nt high tide. He looked at mo 11s if I did not know anything about it then took! a skiff and went over the bar Into the river. Ho camo back to the boat and na id wo could go In. I lied up what llttlo I had In a pack got my gun and ammunition and by that time the boat struck the sand sidewisc. Tho shock up set tho stove, iiwny, went what little was on It and thet'o alio wan fast. Wo got ashore and crossed over to the north Hide of tho river, camo upliho river 11 llttlo way and camped for the night. Next morn ing mo started out, climbed 11 little beucoor hill, shot n dcernnd feasted on roast venison. I think it took us about eighteen days to get from tho mouth of the river to tho scttleniontti in UmiHjua valley. Wo however found plenty of deer and elk so wo had plenty of moot to eut, Tlio funeral was hold Wednesday morning nt the old homestead nnd the remains were interred in the I. O. 0. F. cemetery.
