DORN, FROM MEDFORD, ENTERTAINS UPPER RIVER People of the upper Applegate country had the opportunity of learning Sunday of the splendid work of the Young People’s Gos- pel team at Medford through one of its members who conducted services at Watkins on that day.

But with dauntless courage on and on they pressed. Their goal was this fair land of ours, the Golden West. So may they rest, their trials o’er, their duty nobly done. In early days their trials ended not with set of sun— Each night brought added terrors, their vigils then they must renew, With trusty gun in hand they needs must watch the long nights through— So may they rest, their slee disturbed no more By the wolf’s long howl, nor Indians’ stealthy footsteps near the cabin’s door. —Alice Applegate Sargent. all nations.” Those attending also enjoyed the song service and prayer before the sermon. Other members of the team scheduled to assist with the pro gram were unable to be present. Beaver creek and Watkins Sunday schools held a joint session and a large crowd enjoyed the picnic at noon.
