Thla dauntless youn woman waa Narclasa Prentiss Whitman who bare ly a month after her .marriage, coura geously left her home, her friends everything that had been her whole life and started weat with her phy atclan-huaband, Marcus Whitman. Mile after weary mile of that trying trip went by, but the courage and hope of the plucky Narclasa never lagged. Waa ahe not headed for a country of promlae and beauty Oregon with her gallant young hus band by her elde? Nevertheless that trip Impressed Its horrors and hardships Inasllbly on her mind. Howling, whipping storms beat around the wagon train threat ening to carry all to destruction and striking fear In the heart of the cour- Cross -Word Puzzle T. Hard water t. Parttea t.

I must net give ln to self-pity," ahe admonlabed herself. Her vitality and health were such that ahe waa able to withstand the rlgprs of the trip In spite of repeated attacks from mosquitoes and fleas, In spite of having a atck husband to care for, and ln spite of being herself weak and hungry and torn between the pain and Joy of the realisation that soon ahe would bring a new llf5 into the world. The Whitman mission had been established at walllatpu. Shortly be fore Christmas of 1838, alter ten months of weary travel, the young bride waa brought to her new home. It waa a little log place that Had blankets for wlndowa and tor doors, and that had furniture handmade from cottonwold trees. Far from clvlllaatlon and mllea from any neigh bor la the midst of a vast . territory peopled by Indiana whose friendship changed with the changing winds this waa the place that Narclssa Whltmsn waa to call home. Three short months after settling In her new home, Narclasa gave birth to a little girl Alice Clarissa who waa to become the greatest Joy In her mother's life. But this Joy waa short-lived, for soon after her second birthday the child waa acci dentally drowned. What anguish tore the brave heart of Narclssa Whitman only a bereaved mother can know. But. heartbreaking though her sor row was, unrestrslned grief could not be hers: ahe had to bear up even when the news waa broken to her that her husband muat leave for the eaat. He would be gone a year two maybe more. Bravely ahe aurpress- ed her tears and the apprehensions that aurged through her aoul aa ahe turned to the houso from the fsrewell at the gate. She went again Into that lonely home, pacing from room 1 to room, and now that ahe whb alone, ahe found relief for her pent-up emo- tlona in a flood of unrestrained tears. Through the ngonteed months of waiting, alone, the valiant Narclssa again and again waa forced to under go terrifying events Incident that would fill even the braveat with fear. One midnight she awoke with a start. Someone was forcing entrance to her room. She waa assailed with terror the bulky form of an Indian out lined Itself against the opening. With acream ahe awoke the Hawaiian servant, the only other person In the mission and with his help finally forced the Intruder to take flight. Another evening, ahe waa drawn to the window by an omlnoua crackling. Billow after billow of amoka waa curling Into the starlit sky: the mill waa a blazing Inferno I enable to stop the quickly spreading fire, she waa compelled to witness the destruc tion of all for which they had ao un tiringly struggled. Slowly that year dragged by. Then. the Incessant tatoo of hoot-beats brought Narclssa with flying stops to the mission door. The color surged Into her cheeks for, riding . quickly towarda her. waa her husband, home at laatl The ensuing aeasona, passing slow ly by. found Narclasa working cease lessly. Striving to lose herself ln her work, ah mothered whole families of orphans children who had left the states happy with their parents and arrived in that great wilderness 01 the west, forlorn, sorrowful, without father or mother or even friends. Narolsaa's heart, ao recently torn with anguish, went out to these littler or phans, whom ah cared for and loved almoat aa though they were her own. ln spite of the drudgery day alter day, never In the heart of thla brave ly tolling woman waa there regret over her decision to be, In every way, a worthy helper to her husband. In the meantime the Indians be came less and leas friendly. Their re peated attack on Dr. Whitman only mad his wife try the harder to con vert them to Christianity. Her heart, her aoul, everything ahe had, ahe put Into her arduoua task. Greater grew the elouds of discord until, In No vember, 1847, they broke In all their relentless fury I The murderous red skins, with their hideously painted face and brutal tomahawks, awooped down on the unprotected mission and began their merciless attack. Never waa the courage of thla pioneer wom an mors apparent than at thla cru cial moment. Cheeka blanched with fear, her body racked with unendur able pain from Ui wounds she had received, ah directed the efforts of the women ln their last stand. But there wsa no mercy In the hearts of those pitiless assassins. Darkneaa at laat brought a close to those scenes of horror aa It did to the heroic life of thla valiant woman Thu did th life of Narclssa Whit man, pioneer wife and mother, rise above th commonplace Just as the verdant hill and mountains of Ore gon towered In great splendor above Its fertile valleys. By Maxim Watrem The Story of liavld Mlrarns Mr. David Stearns, th subject of thla sketch, waa born In a log cabin on a donation land claim four miles east of Jacksonville, Oregon, where the town of Medford now stands. There wers seven children tn the family, five of whom were boys. Their cabin waa built roughly and had a dirt floor. Ounny sacks. stretched over the window spacea and also over the door frame, admitted very little light. The equipment waa equally primitive. The fireplace was used both for heating the cabin and oooklng. Th children slept In trun die beds, made lower and ahorter ao they could be slid under the larger beds In th daytime. Th pioneer people mad their own lamps. Th lamp Itself waa a bowl of melted grass. For wicks, they put one end of each piece of twlated cloth Into the grease and let the other hang over the edge. When lighted, the Tick mad t blight elrle of light all around the bowl. Their broom were shavings and tied at the end of the stick from which they had been whittled. Mr. Stearns remember two experi ences with the Indian. At one time. man by the name of Angel waa been a disagreement between Mr. Angel and the Indiana. At another time, during a threatened Indian outbreak, all the women and children were taken to some natural lava caves. Men guarded the entrances for five days until the trouble sub sided. The spring of 1862, his family de cided to move to Portland. They hired a man with some horses to haul their covered wagon. When they reached the place now known aa Monroe. Davld'a family decided to re main there until the following aprlng when the weather condltlona would be better. In th spring when they learned that It would be Impossible to make the rest of the trip with horses, they hired a man with an ox team to bring them on. It took ten days to come from Corvallla to Port land, a distance of ninety-two miles. Each time they forded a river, they had to unload, take the bed of the wagon across, then the wagon. Many times they had to unload so the oxen could pull the wsgon over a rough spot, indeed, It waa a hard trip. Mr. Stearna aatlmatee the popula tion of Portland to have been at that time between three and four thou sand. The main business street waa what Is now Front avenue. There were only two stores on First avenue. In the publle school the children at tended, there were two stories and four or five clasa rooma. The highest grade waa the "fourth reader." The clasa rooma were divided down the middle by a partition about four or five feet high. The girls sat on one aide of the partition, the boys on the other ao they could not see each other. The teacher stood on a ralaed platform where ahe could aee all the pupils at once. The two daughters of the Stearns family helped their mother with her work, cooking the meala, making soap, knitting, making over osatoff men's clothes for the boys, smoking the ham end bacon, and making the head-cheese. The boys got up at two o'clock In the morning, went down to the Oregonlan office, folded papera for both country and city delivery, then delivered the town papera before breakfast. Before there waa gaa to use for lighting, the boya went around the city about twice a week to fill the atreet lampa with coal oil Each evening they would light the lamps; but if the moon went down at nine o'clock, for example, they would not light them until that time. Mr. David Stearns had a twin brother. When thy tlnlahed aohool. they learned molding and worked ln varloua foundrlea about the city. At one time Davld'a twin who waa work ing for the Willamette Iron Worka, wished to go on a trip tor a couple of weeks. As David wasn't working at the time, they decided to have him substitute for hi twin. . Everything went fine until on day the foreman aaked David to go upstairs and get a certain patterns. The pattern waa one that Davld'a brother had mad before he left. When David confessed that he waa there under falsa pre tenses, th foreman took th matter good-naturedly and It became quit a Joke about th place. Later th boya ran a elgar and to bacco store. After a time David Stearna went Into newspaper work. He worked at different times for the Daily Newa, the Oregon Sittings, and the Dally Standard. At still another time he hed oharg of th atreet oar advertising on the First and Third atreet car lines. In 1889, he went Into the real estate business and fol lowed this line of work until IBIS when he retired. Mr. Stearna haa been an aotlv citizen and la welt known In Oregon. He ha served a director of th Ore gon Historical society, president and treaaurer of the Oregon Pioneer asso ciation.
