Ben Hur Lampman
Publishes New Book
Following is an editorial from the
Portland Oregonian regarding a re
cent book written by Ben Hur I.arap-
tnan, son of Mrs. Viola Lampman of
this city:
Mr. Lampinan'a Book
Many readers of this page, having
admired dand followed the writings
of our colleague, Ben Hur Lampman,
.during more than a dozen years, will
welcome the word that he is author
of a full-length work of fiction,
issued this past week end by the
Metropolitan Press.
They will bi
eager to know whether he has been
able to sustain through the intrica
cies and length of a book that
rhythm aud richness of imagery
which characterize his essays and
which make his editorial writings,
we believe, uul'iue In America.
Nor will they be disappointed. In
"Here Comes Somebody,” the fantasy
of 'Lisbeth and Jumbles, Mr. Lamp-
man's rich style has been extended
to the narrative form, and the poetry
of it, while less crowded than in
the essays, in the end becomes even
more effective.
It was said of a
great French composer of music that
most composers did what they could
with music, but this one did what
he would. Mr. Lampman is deserving
of the same compliment, where words
are concemeed. He commands them,
where most of us are commanded
by them.
And in the book the poetry i<
only the covering. Tht> adventures
of ‘ Lisbeth and Jumbles are as va
ried, with as deep a meaning, as
those of Alice when she went travel
ing in Wonderland. We can think
of no other book with which "Here
Comes Somebody" might rightly be
compared. The rest we must leave
the readers to discover for them
selves.— Oregonian.
Ben Hur Lampman is well known
here, having visited his mother here
many times. He was editor of the
Gold Hill News many years ago. The
publishers of the book speak very
highly of Mr. Lampman’s book, say
ing It is even better than Peter Pan.
Mrs. Viola Lampman says that her
son has written ever since a small
boy and she regrets the destroying
of all his early works in a fire a few
years ago.
His brother. Rex, also
is a very brilliant writer and bis
boyhood efforts were also destroyed.
Mrs. Lampman tells a very Inter
esting story of the boys' first long
pants. Their father wished them to
have their pictures taken when they
first wore them. They dressed for
the visit to the photographer and
then Ben began to worry. He asked
Rex to walk down the alley with him
but R©* was very proud of bis long
pants and wanted to walk down the j
main street.
Finally, Ben burst out "Rex, 1
don't know what to do with my legs."
But Rex won and they walked down
Main street and posed for their pic
tures. These were also destroyed by
th* fire.
Mr*. Lampman has been a resident
of Central Point for seventeen years.

The attendants were Mr. and Mrs.

and sister-in-law of the groom. The
bride was lovely in a printed silk

of the bride and Mr. and Mrs. M. N.
Hogan were present.
The rooms were decorated with

were pink and

The table was centered with a
large, beautiful bride's cake, artis

The cake was baked by Mrs. Victor
