These words are called from the editorial page of that spright ly Journal, The Oregon Emerald. When we first read them we had a vision of the self sacrific ing undergraduate racking his brain in study and expending his energy in the pursuit of learn ing. But alas, Not so. These words apply not to the dull round of study but to the exhilerating whirl of sport. Social duties are still first.

It is a fact that the great area referred to as Central Oregon will remain undeveloped a desert in effect if not in fact, until it se cures rail facilities. J. N. Teal.

Church News Notes of Interest to All Local Denominations. John Jordan was here so far ahead of any other settler that the date of his coming is not obtainable, he was born in Ohio in 1827 and came west to Calif, ornia during the Golden Days of 49 where he mined for two years then came to Salem, Ore gon, where he engaged in farm ing until the opening of the Indian Wars of 1854-58 when he enlisted with the Oregon volun teers and fought through the campaigns of Oregon and Wash ington. It was while chasing Indians through this region that he decided that this was the place for his home. After receiving his discharge he invested his savings in a herd of cattle. Ex perience gained during the Indian War gave him a good knowledge of the country and he decided that the forks of the creek was the ideal location for his cow camp. With keen in sight, he could see that the hills, now known as Jordan Butte, would be th. first to afford grass when the chinook came and the broad creek bottom covered with rye grass and willows would af ford forage during the winter, besides being the most fertile flat on the entire creek and hav ing the advantgae of irrigation from both creeks. His first big job was the erec tion of a house and barn and as the Indians had no saw mil.s he was obliged to select his building material from the alder and cotten wood groves along the creek. His home was built at the point where the railroad and highway cuts through the point two miles east of Ion-. The rush to the Canyon City mines caused a large amount of travel along the creek and he opened a road house and fed the travelers besides attending his cattle and opening up his farm His near neighbors were Tom Scott, who lived on Rock creek, and lorn Avers, who settled on Butter creek in 1862. Mr. Jor dan became a large cattle owner and the old timers remember him as the most honorable man who rode the range and as one who did more to Jhelp the families who followed him to the wilder ness than any other man en the creek. He had the reputation of having the best string of cattle ponies on the range and many tales are .handed down of bis horsemanship. In the fall of 18G6he-made a trip to Walla Walla and called on his neighbor Tom Ayers, who requested that he bring him some men to help harvest his oat crop. He re turned without the men but de ccided to help save the crop and for the next seven days he did chores then mounted his horse and rode 27 miles to Butter creek for breakfast swung a cradle in the field until night and rode home each night Word then reached him that neighbor Scott needed help in harvest and for the next five days he rode 25 miles for breakfast and did a days work and returned home. He took a stranger in and gave him a home for the winter and when Spring came his guest de parted and word came that he had gone to The Dalles.' to file claim to Jordans home. Mount- ing his best horse he hit the trail for The Dalles where-he was informed that his home was in the LaGrande district and that his enemy had boarded the stage and was far on the way to LaGrande. He immediately re turned home caught another horse, arrived at the Land office ahead of the stage and saved his home,.after having ridden over 300 miles with such rest as could be had while his horse grazed at the roadside. -To be continued in next issue.
