Life sketch from Murgoge mission in Pacific Island notes
A letter from missionary Joseph Spiker in the Friendly Island group describes Haalabull village on Vavan 400 miles south of Samoa. He details island geography, flora, and daily life, and reports on school work and local livelihood. A second item notes Union County Oregon board of equalization meeting set for October 11 1911 at La Grande to review assessments and hear grievances.
