He had. just arrived in Oregon from

to Oreiron to make bis home wilb bis

Young "Bert" Hoover was luckv in

It was in the late fall of 1878 that
n real, estate firm opened up offices
in. Salem, down on Commercial street

Cook, "with bis shoulders hunched

nearly a month before Ibe university

there was living in Salem, a prnmiu

cided to send bis sim to Stanford
along with voting Hoover. The
banker's son needed special instruc

"It is only natural that I am tak

Cook vcsterilav. "I was a ilircclor

they do not know whether he is re
