eing paid the people of the past gen
ration who came to this state and
ave of their best to establish the

leans of shewing their appreciation
f the services that have been ren

Repayment the charities board of Ore-,
(on has approved of a plan to raise
i.'i.n.OOO for the establishment of a
jome for old folks at Scappoose on a
(40 acre tract t'f land owned by

jttmlunts since 101 1 . During that
Imo thousands of: old folks have had
iieir last days made pleasant, and
lave had a fitting home in which to
Ind their life's span It stoles not
jeem' right that many of these pio
teera in the state who have Buffered
(i their declining years from some
tard buffet of fate, should have to
ipend their last days as a state or
iounty charge. This Pisgah colony
jrevents by giving them an oppor
Mnity to retain a certain amount of
ihelr self-respect by being a resident'
if a real home instead c-fmn inmate
)f an institution. .
j Owing to lack of funds and conser
vation off expense money on account
t the" purely Oregon character of the
lampaign, it is Impossible to send
irews of workers brttodcast over the
jtate . as has been done with other
Ihurilsblo drives. ' However, it is
IhoUght that Oregon things enough
