country of promlae and beauty

with the
sgeoua little New York girl, The food
supplies diminished until the dally
ration became only dried buffalo
meat food that appeared ao filthy
to the refined Narcissi that the could
hardly eat It. More than once did
ahe think of the plentiful meal she
used to enjoy only to brush these kllltd by ,om, In(lnI Ju,t ln ,ront
thoughts Impatiently aside. "Am Iir ,y,m ..hm .k,ki. .1, v..
thoughts Impatiently aside. "Am
not blessed with the opportunity to
tench the will of the Divine Father
to heathen In a forsaken land? 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

fear, her body racked with unendur

received, ah directed the efforts of

there wsa no mercy In the hearts of

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
