<DIV>I was Just reading this post, I know there has been some discussion
lately about non genealogical items but many of the stories I enjoy.</DIV>
<DIV>Verdena's comments about Elsie reminded me of stories my mother used to
tell she was a young girl working with her mother in the logging camp their
during one of the big fires. Her Father, my grandfather was a jack of
all trades, logger, barber, dentist, miner, Etc. and had came to Oregon in
1906 and worked throughout Oregon, Elsie, Alsea, Disston, Etc. and I have
some old time photos of Horse logging etc. 1906-1914 era.</DIV>

<DIV><EM>Guess I didn't quite have the words right but that is the song
that I meant. It seems that your brother used to live in Aurora
which is of great historical value in Oregon BTW. Anyway, close to
Aurora is the town of Canby. The farm where we used to go to buy
broccoli, potatoes and other vegetables has houses and more houses all
over it now. Last year I think they still raised a few onions.
The housing development has the same name as the farm did. The place
in Elsie sounds great. My husband used to log over there. His
father did the old horse logging-without the diapers of today I
believe. The sons, nine of them, were all involved in logging while
they were still in grade school.</EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Do you mean "Pretty boxes, made of ticky tacky.
Pretty boxes all in a row."?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That describes most of America today.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I remember when there were orange trees by the
gazillion in Orange County; along I-5. Now it's "pretty boxes,
pretty boxes all in a row"... As far as the eye can see.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Just tonight, my dear wife (of 31 years), Rachel,
said that she would like to live on the Morgan homestead at Elsie,
OR. It's too bad we didn't know that the place was for sale before
it was sold.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I spent a couple of weeks there in 1994 helping my
aunt (Lovena Houk Morgan), prepare to move to Tacoma. Gee!
She had the perfect "mosquito magnets". I think you call them
"bats".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There was a mercury vapor steet lamp in her drive
way that attracted the bugs, and I watched the bats fly through the
swarm and saw it deminish, ever so slowly, night after night. It
didn't cost a cent. :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And there isn't a "pretty box" within miles of
that location.</FONT></DIV>
