March 3, 1905 SUBSTITUTE FOR OLD VERSE A meeting of a council of moth er's recently held in Chicago, when the question of "what more can we do for the religious life of our child ren and young people" tho subject of prayer was mentioned. The president said she regarded the last Hoes of the old prayer. "Now I lav me down to klccp. I pniv thel.onl my soul to keep. And If I die before I wke I. pray the Lord my bouUo take. The idea is horrible said she. The substitute she offered reads: "Father. vn tlmnk Theo for the nls lit. And for the pleasautmorntng light. For nut. for food, and loving enre. And nil that makes the world ho fair." "Beautiful," said some, and .really now is it not a much bUer thought to instil into the miiid ol a child. tt was buf a few short years ago that Eva Davenport, as she was re centlv known, came to this city with her husband. . He was a prin ,terand secured employment on the , Nugget, but was engageu only 1 few days. He was what is called a "dope fiend" and soon rrached a condit ion "where he had to be taken care of bv the authorities. ' Hnised in a cood family, her father a baptist minister, it seems strange : he should have yielded to her unfortunate Biirrouuaings anu take ud with the life she has led isuice. How much can be charged to the worthless piece of humanity, sbe In .isome manner was induced to marry we dont know, but probably she ..was not alone too blame. 1 .-The sad endinirot her life should be a warning to others y bo may think it was a life of ease and nleasnre. How many times the thought occured to end all at last adopted, no one but herself knew, It has been, at least for n number of years pa t, tho custom of tho city council at ita uieotiug in March to issue a call for a mass mooting of tho voters, nt which gathering, noui iuationu for city officers for bo on Buingjcar wore made, lucre was no law for tuis action but simply had become a cuetoai. At the meeting of the city council on Moud'iy night, it was docidod lo iguoro this cublom and leave tho matter entirely iu the hands of tho people. It ia most probable that party lines will not bo drawn in tho coming election, but more likely that the division will occur between tho lib end and conservative elemonts. It is but a short time until the election, which will occur on tho 3rd of next month and it is a good tiuio now to look about, for your candidates for the various ofhecs. Its a slow week where Hermann is not indicted. Dinger Pleased With Lane County. Creswell, Oregon. Jan. 29, J905. Editor of Iuwood Herald: After sixty days in Oregon ac cording to promise, I will write a few lines from the laud of Promise. I left old Iowa Dec 6th. lor Cre well, Lane County, Oregon, arrived here safe and sound; the car ar rived the 1 ith with household good and horses all right. The winter rains had just commenced. My wife stopped at Mr. Holler man's for two weeks until I had everythiug straightened around. She has been improving every day since we came here.

It looks strange to see vegetables in the garden as good as they are in. Iowa in August- We haveliad one freeze since I came. The rain arc from a mist to a gentle rain We have poach trees in full leaf that have never shed them. I plowed up potatoes that were plant ed, thtce years ago. My winter wheat and oals cover the ground, and will sow my barley and sptlug oats about Keb. itth and can sow until May tst, We live just 130 miles south of Portland on the Southern Pacific railroad, 2 miles south of Creswell, Oregon in the Willamette valley and the Uascadc mountains arc on each side of us. We can sec the snow on the top and here the flowers arc nlwnys in bloom mid you can go out in the garden at any time and get cabbage, lettuce and radishes. I believe this is n healthy count ry to live in. The people till look sj healthy, espcciallv the gitls. .Tell Fred Buchmaii I have found the right one for him. She can jump over a stake and rider fence with one hand and has not got red hair. She says for you to write first. I have picked one out for Will Bullock. She lives iu Link Hollow and she sold last year $too worth of strawberries. It is hard to toll a young lady from a married one. I came near getting into trouble tne nrsi week Here. I was asking one young man why he did'nt set his cap for the Post Mis tress at Crcwcll and he was about in love when some one told us sin had been married 5 years. My wlte gave me to understand sh was getting bettor and said I was a old baldheadcd toothless to be noticing the women, but I told her it was a good trait for a man so promised to be good and everything is O. K. 1 uis is a great place lor game, Back 4 or 5 miles in the mountains one man whose place joins the Holtermau,s ranch has killed oears since we enme. mere are some aeer just 80 rotis Ironi our place and mountain lions are back further in the mountains. 'I he Saw Mills are all iu full blast One large mill is 3 miles south of us at Saginaw. Common fencing is sold at S4 per 1000 feet and No. 2 $6. A good house can be built here for $500 and a barn like Mr Gus Schemels for the same- The saw mills arc five miles up iu the mountains and they made a flume to float the lumber down to Sagi naw. The railroad wood yard is 2 'A miles south of our place, station called Walker. Our county seat is 14 miles north culled Euceue and has a population of 2500. It has a State University, two other colleges, one a Military and the other a church college. They have some tine machine shops and can make any kind of an engine. Eucuue is considered the healthiest place near tue coast ami tuat is why the state University, is there. I hoiiestlv be lieve this the best place for a poor man with a large family that will work because be has his wood for fuel and fruit. Mr. Huntsman got a gooti place lor 75 with. 30 acres, they have is when n man Is hurt by a trco falling 011 him or some other accident. The doctor at Creswell has 160 acres of prunes and It keeps him busy. Our boy has not been sick since we came here and is most well of his cattarrah. My wife walked n quarter of n mile yesterday after noon to call 011 a neighbor, Every body seems ready for n good time and are very sociable and ready to help you enjoy yourself. An old man from here asked me if I was from the States I told him I was. He took me by both hands and whimpered In my car, lie hon est ami virtuous ana get all you can and keep what you get. It put me in mtua 01 a young, man getting license at huguuc the other day and after the county clerk gave him his passport the clerk said. "Got! have mercy on your poor soul Well this will do for this time, remain, Yours Respectfully, Hknkv Douglas. In.vood Herald, Iuwood, Iowa. NEW ARRIVALS Have your eye MiuIsch'h. tented at It. ( COMMUNICATIONS nil the wood he wants to burn noticed there are lots of old people here and I asked one old man how it came the old men never died off out here aud he said the mist from the salt water from the Pacific Ocean petrified them We have telephones just as num erous as In wood. The roads arc good 111 the valley. I expect to haul a big load of fencing tomorrow from Saginaw. Mr. Holterman's ranch is two miles north of us and A west. He has 320 acres, a fine house. Good Cedar post 7 Icet are selliug bets, a post 1 here is a great rush to net the fair ready at Portland by June 10th anu ciose uctooer 11. tins is promised to be ahead of the St LouiH and Chicago World's I'air. The population of Port'and is 00.426 and the state is 624,000. We have them from all parts of the world. When you come they they will take you by both hands mid welcome you in their midst. There are some homesteads in Lane county about five miles west of us. Springfield, 3 miles cast of Eu gune is where the great saw mill of Booth-Kelly, where they say thev turnout 25,000 feet of lumber everv day; one of tho largest planing mills on the coast. Flour is only $1.10 per sack, butter 50c. per roll, 2 pouiias 111 one ron, eggs 25013. per dozen. We have two butcher wagons that come past our house twice a week and furnish meat for the largo lumber camp at Saginaw. Mr. Turner has sold his furm and made a good thins. Land is selling from $J5 to $75 per acre. There is a good opening for a ho tel at Creswell. also a Dress Mak ing shop and one Millinery store. leu Bam Mas it will never do lor liim here unless lie eot his life iusured in favor of his wife, for his good looks and that lady mouth of his would charm the girls here so that bis good wife would go to Sioux Falls for a divorce. Insur ance business here is all done by the Farmers Mutual Insurance Co. The doctors here are all in the fruit business, The only cases Editor Nucuut: Kindly giv tins space in your paper as I am sure a few thoughts along this line can not be amiss at this time, an win meci tue approval ol many tamers ami motuers in this city well as surrounding country. There is at the present time fbu or five cigar stores in this place that are uoing more towards tearing uown wnat lite churches and Sun day schools are doing, than all th saioons 111 tue state. You can sec on any evening or (Sunday's cspec lany; irom one to three games run ning in any of these kindercarten saloons and just as long as this is permitted to exist, Sunday schools suouw close up. Was a while that boys only were hanging around those places but now cirls. votinc mutes ana an classes join in. Th Preachers, and the W. C. T. U are constantly after the saloon but very seldom say one word ncaiust places that can discount them for damage to the younger people. Th saioou man pays ills $400 every year, he now has to close his place oiuusiucss on auuuay, while the me Kinacrgarien saloons are pre paring patrons lor ins place; tn fact mesaioon Keeper istueonlv man iu the town who is com belled to close his place of resort on the Sab bath while everything else is wide open. Of course our city fathers would scorn the thought of touch ing these places to ruin the bovs and girls, but sit by aud sec the things done every day. 'Tw hiel time these things should cease and il any rcsott is to be opened on Sun day s let it be the saloons instrad of those hell holes that are turning out gamuiers every year. I think things could be improved on along this line so good will come from it. If the saloons are to be compelled to close up at certain hours compel all to do the same but if you are going to let one class open, let all open and among the least 01 evil cuoose tlie less and am sure that when a choice is made betwecu saloon or cigar store the saloons are the least of the two evils, and why not close all places of business on Sunday while the closing game is being played. I am suro it would be as fair for one as the other. I hope whoever is eiccicu uurinrr tue com tier c tv election will see that these gamb ling rooms in rear ends of cigar stores will be put where they be long, and should you eare to know where this is ask some ol the fathers and mothers (as good a people as ever were born) where their boys and, yes tis shame to say girls are spending their spare moments.
