Ebert Says German Peace
Delegation Will Vote Solidly
For This Measure.
By Frank J. Taylor.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Berlin, Dec. 30. Germany will be the
first country to advocate international
abolition of compulsory military service
Chancollor Ebert declared in an ltuer
view with tho United Press today.
Ebert said tho German peace delega
tion would voto solidly for this and
similar measures, providing the other
nations unanimously approved it. But,
the chancellor said, if France contin
ues to keep a strong standing army,
Germany will favor the adoption of the
Swiss system of modified service.
Got Ready Three Times
But Never Even Started
Lloyd T. Bigdon, former city alder
man, now in the service, had his pack
rolled and ready to start for France
three different times, according to a
letter received a few days ago by sev
eral of his Elk friends. But he didn't
even get started aa about the last, time
the order came to pack up the armis
tice was signed.
Mr. Bigdon is now at Camp Lee, Vir
ginia, and of course doesn 't know
whether he will be kept in the service
six weeks or six months. In moving
from Camp Mills to Camp Lee, ho
writes that he had a 30 honr ride on
tho ocean in one of the big army trans
ports, then had a nighfrido of eight
hours on a river boat up the James riv
er and then a ten mile hike to Camp
Lee.
Virginia is (hat section is about 60
years behind times, he writes. There is
a strict blue Sunday law and in Rich
mond and the big towns no picture
shown are open and stores are not per
mitted to sell even a cigar on Sunday.
Ho writes that Oregon looks pretty
good to him, compared to Virginia.

Was Here Until The Early
'80s To Keep The Cows
And Horses Outside.
By just one year and one month W.
T. Bigdon missed being born in Ore
gon. That is, lie was just past one year
old when he arrived here with his par
ents from 'Iowa and that was away
baok in the spring of 1850. With the
oldcvt pioneers, he can say that ho
traveled over the plains in an ox eart
nine years before Oregon was admitted
as a state into the Union.
In these early days, driving a three
ox team to Salem was his usual work
as there was no recreation and when
he got to town it was his business aa
a boy to go around to the hotels and
saw nulls selling what tney bad raisea
on the farm two miles east of the pres
ent location of Woodburn.
One of tho ssnal sights in Salem in
the early days wan the high board fence

'I r
known as WillHon avenuo, extending
from the state house to tho post olnce
grounds The cows ran at large in thoso
days in Salem and fences were one of
the household necessities
When the effort was made to secure
tho ground for the post office, it was
necessary to buy off all the Willson
heirs, as the land had originally been
given for public uses only After alt
the Willson heirs had signed a quit
claim deed, the post office block was
sold to the government and the money
received partly given to the heirs.
In the original deal between the
Rev. Willson and the Oregon Method
ist missionaries, it was agreed that Mr.
Willson and wife should take up the
640 acres on which Balem is mostly lo
cated and that after his four years
occupation and patent issued it shonW
all be returned to the Methodists, al
lowing Mr. Willson and wife certain
percentage for sale of lots.
As was customary in those days, la
issuing patent for the 640 acres, Mrs.
Chloe Willson wa given title to the
north half, which happened to be north
of State street and Mr. Willson the
south half. There haa been no contro
versy as to title of the land south of
State street, but as Mrs. WilUon had
not signed the original agreement with
the Methodists, to return the land af
ter patent had been haned, it seems
she did not foel disposed to carry cut
the agreement signed by her husband.

on the title of land north of State

of Mrs, Chloe Willson and in the early
'70 'a there was law uit over the title
of land oscupicd by tho court house.
Judge Boise, father of Reuben Boise,
