PORTLAND, Jan. 10. There were
no more self-sacrificing nor earnest
men than the circuit riders of the
J'nclflc northwest. These rustic pas
tors served a country that has become
an . empire, and laid, the cultural
foundations of three states, but it
would seem' that their very names
have been burled with them. Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho were set
tled by sturdy, home loving people,
not by' adventurers , or gold-seekers.
Buch people founded homes for their
families, lived righteously and called
their ministers to their aid.
''In all this vast area towns were
few and, small, and not every town
had Its church. The Circuit Rider
would start from his home at stated
times, and on horseback, by canoe or
even on foot, make his roadless way
to. the settlements, lundings, nnd
scattered houses of , the outposts of
civilization. He carried primarily re
ligion, together with advice,, admo
nition and often the lnw and physic
ians' services.
Through the wet forests of the
coast to the arid plains of the east,
these men wero welcomed or dreaded
s their hosts were Just or unjust..
Many n, prominent man of today owes
his promlnonco to the help of these
pioneer clergymen.
The father of Mr. R. A. Booth of
Salem, was a circuit- rider. Mr. Booth
has commissioned A. Phimlster, Proc
ter, to make a bronze Btatue of an
equestrian circuit rider. In memory of
his pnrent nnd the other pioneer mis
sionaries. The governor hns accept
ed the offer on the part of the state
and assigned, the statue a place In the
cnpltol grounds nt Salem. The dedi
cation dnto will bo set soon.
Mr,, Hffoth has offered a prize of
'$100, for the best poem on the. suh
Ject, ot, the circuit rider. The compe
tition rules have been drawn and limit
the contest to the residents ot Ore
gon. Washington nnd ldnho. The

what it does for gravies

flavor and improves
their color.
In Boston, where the

used. . .
Preparing for the oven,
add a tablespoonful to
