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.

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

thankful for that. We expect to

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

actly that demanded by tho spir
it of hate and vengeance in. Pen

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! Is it
stretching the letter of the law

stead. 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.

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.
