Others stationed at the fort at va rious times were the historian, Henry Schoolcraft; the artist, George Calvin; and Gen. William Clark, Lewis Cass and Winfield Scott. The treaties of 1826 and 1830, where in the Indians deeded away the last of their lands east o f the Mississippi river, were signed at Fort Crawford. The Black Hawk war centered about it, and Abraham Lincoln, then a young lieutenant was stationed at the fort during this conflict. Chief Blackhawk was taken to the post as a prisoner after his capture by the Winnebago chiefs after the rout of the Sacs and Foxes at the Battle of Bad Axe. Near the site of the fort Is Fort Crawford cemetery, where those who died during their term of service were buried. The cemetery is government owned and well cared for. London.—The vast nnmber and va ried assortment ot wedding presents to Princess Mary and Viscount Laa- cellea displayed here caused many peo ple to wonder what the newlyweds would do with the 16 Jugs and bowls, 10 silver toast racks and 22 clocks in the offerings. » The late King Edward, after his mar riage, found himself the possessor of 1,800 teapots of all types and descrip tions, and of more than 800 cruets. It Is reported that some of these are still stored In London. Only persons who had been pre sented at court or wl\o could claim personal acquaintance with either Princess Mary or her husband were permitted to tender gifts on the occa sion of the recent royal wedding. Charitable and other public organiza tions and institutions were, of course, excepted. ----- ' This ruling perhaps saved Princess Mary the embarrassment over dispos ing of teapots and cruets suffered by King Edward. A classification o f the gifts exhibited at St. James’ palace shows only 28 tea services were presented. Other items are 158 articles of Jewelry, Including bracelets, nectctjftes, pendants, tiaras, brooches, rings, ' caskets, fans and watches; a trayful o f flawless, unset precious stones, 888 gifts made from precious metals. Including 29 trays, 24 vases, 31 cups, 12 goblets, 18 Ink- stands, 25 statuettes, 14 card trays, 9 cigaret cases, 8 traveling cases and 7 workboxes; 197 books and manu scripts, 22 candelabra, 17 umbrellas, 14 lamps and shades, 17 rugs, 22 sets o f cutlery, 8 w all brackets, 96 dinner services,- 47 breakfast table services, 18 silver salvers, 70 pairs o f gloves, 10 wedding cakes and 7 bunting crops. While correspondents Invited to a private view were being shown about the state rooms where the presents were on display, the 22 gift clocks all began the chiming at 6 o’clock at al most the same-Jnstant—and the news paper party was ushered out as It bad been Invited to call “between 5 and IS CHAMPION ATHLETE Candidate for Republican' nomination for A farmer by occupation and taxpayer..

Lunger, former repre sentative from Yamhill county, Is a formidable candidate against ex-President W. T. Vinton of the state senate, who seeks re-election to the upper house. * * * Lunger, is certain to make an impression throughout the county, Irrespec tive o f how mapy votes he finally corrals, as he Is one of the clevereiTdebaters in the state', and Is es pecially capable when it comes to embarrassing an opponent. Lun ger originally was the pivot man In the 19H house, when the fate of the $6,000,000 road bonding bill hung In the balance. Re saw what the measure could do for Yamhill county, and finally came out for It, and what he said In the house debate had more weight than anything said by any other speaker. Meanwhile he for the bonding measure and the good roods cause, being the most e f fective speaker in its behalf at grange meetings all over the state. About a year ago he became a critic o f the state highway commiss ion, due to wasteful, methods followed in Yamhill county, mistakes made by the engineering force. He efideavored to secure correctIdu of these mistakes but without avail, and then launched Into criticism of the state highway engineer and o f the legislature for permitting his salary to be raised a year ago. Should Lunger be elected. It is very likely that the state highway construction force would have to answer some shrewd and caustic criticism, as Lunger Is a resource ful fighter and cross-examiner. Although he has been a farmer for many years, he formerly was one of the leading attorneys of the state of Iowa, whence he came. Vinton is very strong in Yamhill county, especially around the cotjnty seat of McMinnville, where he has resided and practiced law for years.” —Oregon Voter. campaigned Be sure to go to the primaries and make your choice for the fall election.

At the close of the War of 1812 the fort was evacuated and shortly after ward most of the buildings were gut ted by fire. The American government then re built the fort on the same site, calling it Port Crawford. Later a new site was chosen a mile south on higher ground and a larger Fort „Crawford was erected. Zachary Taylor; later President of the United States, was commandant of It at one time. One of hie lieutenants was Jefferson Davis, who led the southern Confederacy through the Civil war. Davis fell In love with Taylor’s daughter and married her, to the great displeasure of the command ant.
