The trustees planned the survey and bore- all of the expense. It as due to their wisdom that tho city has such broad and beautiful streets. The grounds on which the city now stands wcm set apart by the provi sional government of Oregon as a do nation to the institute and tho groun 1 for tho -state house and' other public buildings were a gift from 'Willamette university to the state. r Willamette university, under it! present name, was established in 1853 by an act of tho legislative assembly of the territory of Oregon, and six years Inter Willamette university sent forth 'hor first graduate, Miss Emily York, with the degree of Mistress at English IiteratUTe, and intho same year Oregon became a state. x - AMATEURS ENTERTAIN FRIENDS I A CONTINUED NAftBATIVE. m Journal Will Begin an Illustrated SeJ rial in Verse.

Jason Leo was the most interesting and picturesque figuro in tho oarfly history of Oregon. Whero Ho Began Life. Ho was born in Canada in 1S03 and workvd hnrdl an a boy and educated liln-seli. JIti taught school in Stan stead, Cunadii, whilo yot a boy nnd was converted to the principles of tho Methodist church by the ministration! of his nophow, Nov. Daniol Leo, who afterwards ennui to Oregon with him. Lo like that oMier g eat pioueer, Dr. Mclaughlin, was of remarkable striking stature. He was six tYot nnd f ur inches in holght and of a broid ami powerful frame. Ho hud bluo eyes, a high forehead and was nn oloimout nmn ami a powerful rous oner. A romantic story, probably a fiiblo, came to tho coast of tho Ptmiilc cont Indians, who journeyed to St. Louis Jit quest of tho 'White man's book." This mudo ii powerful impression on tho Methodist ministry and Wilbur riske ont Jason Leo to Oregon to convert tho Indlnus to tho Christian religion. This was in 183i.

This was the origin of Willamette university. This event was of tho deepest sig nificanco to tho Methodist church and to Oregon. It was not only tho first step in the development of Willamette university, but it also marked a period in the settlement of tho state. Arrival on tho Willamette. When Jason Lee arrived on the shores of tho Willamette there werp only a few white men west of thd Rocky mountains and there were no white women. Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Spaulding, tho first! white women to arrive, came two years later, in Jodo. "Jason Lea was twice manned. With his first marriage there was connected quite a romance. The pioneor sent back to the mission board of the Methodist church for a wife. Tho board sent him Anna Maria Pittman, whom ha hadi met once before. Sho came in company with Sarah Downing, who married Cyrus Shepard. Tho ship sailed around the Horn and came to Oregon by way of the Sandwich islands. The now period of usefulness of this splendid pioneer woman was short lived. Shrt died soon but left the im print of her strong character on the work, on tho school, and on the state. rA fine oil painting of the first Mrs. Leo hangs in the main building of Willamette university. Enthusod with his work, Mr. Lee wint back to tho states and present cd a momorinl to congress asking that some nsiistanco bo given in order that Oregon might be savod to the Unltod Slites. His potition was presented to thti sonato by Senator Linn of Mis sou."!. So strong an impression did the pioneor make on tho President and on etfngross that he was given $5000 out of tho soeret sorvlee fuud of the gov or'nmtTuI to assist him in prosecuting his work.

Tho drill in this act was beautiful, each keeping in perfect timo-to tho music, and tho rythm and gracefulness of it was very pretty. The fourth scene, "Tho 'School Room," with tho pupils nssombled, was also well carried out, and tho pranks of Flornia were especially amusing. Tho singing of the maidens in the darkened corridor, in tho fifth net, was very pleasing, but tho fixth and last act of tho play was the best of all.
