REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1922. NUMBER 3G ST. JOHNS An Enjoyable Trip Pomonn, Cal., July 8, 1922 Mr. Markle : Am glad to "let you know that we arc having some line climate here, and lota of veg etables and berries. We arrived here Monday, July 3, and are at tending the Church o God camp meeting, which lasts until Sun duy night. Monday morning we (when I say we I mean my wife, son and myself) leave for San Diego, then to Mexico. After we spend nbout a week down there wo turn North again toward Long Beach, Los Angeles, Holly wood, Pasadena and surrounding cities before we return to St. Johns. . I tell you we .struck all Regarding the Executions We decorated Ratine for brav ery in Prance, but we hanged him in Oregon. Our treat ment of Rathie was not as illogical us it seems. We praised him for killing unpopular Ger mans in Prance, hut condemned him for his part in killing a pop ular Hliurill in rcnueton. Now mat tnc uotiics ot untitle am Kirby are cold, let us review dis passionately tlio events leading ui) to their demise. There are two kinds of first degree murder Murder committed with prcmedi tation and malice and murder committed in the commission of some other crime. Escaping from kinds of climate in California. At ! prison is a crime. It says so in Sacramento it was awful hot dur mg the day, and when evening came there was a terrible cold, stormy wind which made it un comfortable for us to stay long. So through the valley it was tin- mercifully hot 110 to 115 in the shade, only we couldn't find no shade along the highway, except in some larmcr'fl yard. Tliey say the land is too valuable to have any shade trees except fruit trees. But here is the Orange ueit,. only tliey aro most all f roz en back for a few years to come before they will be normal again. lsctwccn Fresno ami Bakersfleld w what they call the Sun Maid Knwm Belt. They will have a large crop. All the vines art loaded down to the ground. Also n large crop of apricots which they dry on trays in tho sun. Of course the fruit packing houses are all husy packing fruit to ship out to Northern and Eastern ciues. Tliey work iu uours per tiny to eaten up with the work. The first crop of llgs uro past, but the second crop will be better and heavier than the ilrst was. I tell you it is n treat to sit under a tree and eat them when they are dead ripe. We sat under the lar gest fig tree in the world and ate ripe figs. Tho width of the tree in 07 feet from the tip of the branches from one side to the other. Over COO people could stand under the tree, and look like an umbrella over their heads. But cherries arc scarce. The wholesale price is 17V&U and re tail at 25c n pound. But oh, you watermelons! They retail at I'iC a pound; musk melons six largo ones for 25c. Well, I must ny God was with us on the jour ney so far, as wc have had no ac cidents' of any kind, and we arc thankful for that. We expect to go to Klamath FalU, Oregon, to sec'Doo C. S. Currin and family on our return trip. Geo. W. Im-boden. Tennis Shoes ROGERS. the law books. But society docs not condemn men who seek es cape from durance. Rathie, Kir by and Neil Hart planned to es cape from the Pendleton jail. They did not expect to encounter Sheriff Til Taylor. Rathio and Kirliy did not know Hart would shoot Taylor. They did not want him to shoot Taylor. Hart was a half wit. After Taylor had been shot and was dying, either Rathie or Kirby we forget which, and it doesn't matter returned and gave the dying man a drink of water. Only ono man shot Tay lor, and that man was Hart. We made short work of the half wit. Only one man's finger pressed the trigger. Taylor was well known and well loved in Pendleton. The defendants asked for a change of venue. It was argued they could not get a fair trial in Pendleton. No matter what the evidence who in Pendleton would dare hold out for acquittal, or mauslaughter.or second degree murder in the face of white hot public sentiment f The change of venue was denied. Why? Are there 12 men any where in Oregon who would re fuse to convict if first degree murder were proved t Wasn't it the duty of the court to say: "Al though 1 believe I could give these men a fair trial, I must re member that it is not I but 12 ju rors who must render the verdict. And we all know and loved Til 'Piiift. " ii. i.l . flu. .tliii.tix. of venue! The verdict was ex actly that demanded by tho spir it of hate and vengeance in. Pen dleton' guilty of murder in tho first degree. And there was no recommendation of clemency I Hart murdered Taylor! Wo hang ed Hart. Did Rathie and Kirby help Hart murder Taylor they who only wanted to escape from prison, who didn't know Hart would shoot Taylor, who didn't want him to shoot Taylor, and who delayed escape to give a dy ing man a drink of water!

Ore., June 8 To the Kdi tor of the St. Johns Review: I want to tell of my experience m a water spout we had here. 1 can not express the feeding that one has to see the great mountain of water and great big trees torn out by the roots coining uun up on you. It comes so sudden and you don't know where to go or which way. No one knows unless they have been iu one. The only thing that saved us was to climb up the side of the mountain, and we ,mst got out ol tile house when it was struck by the water and big trees, jamming it up. It started up at the mine about a hull' mile above and Came Icarinir down through the gulch bringing everything with it. Some of the machinery is strung all the way down to the river. It tore one cud of the cook house olV and the mud and water went through the house. We were two or three days digging out, and I cannot begin to tell what it looked like. I should like my friends in St. Johns to know of my experience iu a water spout as I used to live in St. Johns a good many years and know so many people there. -Mrs. Alio Potter, formerly Mrs. Alice Pickle. First Industrial Plant Even before the days of the California gold fever pioneers began to build the industrial prestige of Oregon through the establishment of crude manufac turing plants. Among the ilrst were sawmills and gristmills but an outstanding development was the opening of a tannery in Port land iu 1810. This tannery was started by David II. Lowndalc and bore the distinction of being the first plant of its kind north of Mexico and in all the territory west of the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Lownsdolc selected the site for the tannery about one mile back in the forest where today Multnomah Athletic Field is sit uated. After two years he sold his industry to two newcomers who iu turn sold the plant to A. X.Kiug, who manufactured leath er at the site for 120 years. The csiaonsnmciii oi tins mill was one of the factors in .the development of the State. Prior to the time it was started residents of he Ore gon country tanned their own deer and cow hides. During the Ilrst few years of its operation the owners accepted hides, wheat and other products of the terri tory in payment for the tannery work. Panama Hats il.'ic HOCIHKR. 4 AGAIN I EMPHASIZE!
