Reminiscences of
Pioneers Recalled
CANBY, Or., Oct. 18 Mrs. Nancy
Anne Kesselring, wife of George Kes
selring, of Canby, a prominent early
Oregon pioneer, who celebrated her
88th birthday anniversary on May 18,
1922, has the distinction of riding
horseback across the plains.- Driving
cattle owned by the parents, "Daniel
and Mahalia Riggs, the girl followed
close behind the prairie schooner that
contained the parents and. the other
seven children. One child of the Riggs
family was born on the plains, but liv
ed but a short time after arriving
here. ,
Mrs. Kesselring well remembers the
time when crossing the plains, and al
though just a girl in her teens she
had no fear of the Indians that were
iicfntr the whUpa trmihlct Tho nartv
composed of the Riggs family and sev-
compuseu ol mts niggs lauiiiy
eral other families had no trouble
with Indians from the time they start-
ed across the plains until reaching
their destination Portland, Oregon
where the family camped in a grove,
which is now a business center oi
that city.
Requiring six months to cross the
plains from Missouri, the Riggs fam
ily welcomed Portland. Remaining at
that place for some time the father
decided to take up a donation land
claim, and selected what is now Clack
amas county. The family took up its
claim near Canby, and is now known
as Gribble Prairie, where the property
is still owned by members of the fam-
After arriving at that place and
grown to womanhood Mrs. Kesselring
married Andrew Gribble, a son of
early Oregon pioneers, who had also
taken up a donation land claim. After
his death Mrs. Kesselring remained
aintrln until her children were grown,
then married George Kesselring. For
a numbr of years she and her hus
band have resided in Canby, but still
own a farm in the Gribble Prairie
section, a portion of th ld home
stead of the Riggs family.
Mrs. Kesselring was born in Mercer
county, Missouri, in 1834, and when a
young girl took up weaving, and when
13 years of age was considered an ex
pert at the art. In her little home &
nanh will he found works of art in
the weaving line. Rugs, with woven
roses, carpets of stripes, wellmatch
ed and patcEwork quilts of unique de
sign are all made by hands of this
pioneer woman. Owing to her advanc
ed age Mrs. Kesselring says she has
retired from such work, but now de
lights in looking after her pure-blooded
White Leghorns that are' "making
good" at the Kesselring home.
Among Mrs. Kesselring's children of
Clackamas county, is A. D. Gribble,
prominent Jersey breeder of Gribble
Prairie.

thirteen miles from Oregon City . In
the Clarkes country.
Moehnke accidentally fell over a
Joist, striking on his back. The in
jured man was brought to this city
to his home by Otto Lyman, a rela

M. C. Strickland, summoned. He found
the man suffering from internal in
juries as well as bruises about his

of which were destroyed by the fire.
The last house, which was occupied
by his son and the latters wife, was
destroyed during the big forest fire

houses were burned in the same neigh
borhood. At that time the Moehnke
family lost all. household furniture
and personal belongings.
Moehnke is now pngaged in erecting

. Woman's Club Report.
.Delegates to Tillamook Convention
Tell of Federation's Work
The report of the delegates to the
Federated Women's cruhs convention
at Tillamook, was made at the initial
meeting of the Oregon City women's
club Thursday by Mrs, Morris Hed
den. Her report follows in its en
tirety: Federation -meetings, and similar
conventions comprised solely of wo
men are usually pictured as something
of a compromise between a bargain
day rush and a meeting of the La
dies Aid. We had vague ideas that
we were to be lobbied, harangued and
steamrolle. We were prepared for
anything from a fashion show to a
session with the champion boiler riv
eter, and were accordingly delighted
with the personnel of the delegation.
en Mrs. Bloomer, Doctor Mary Wal-
When Mrs. Bloomer, Doctor Mary
Walker and other pioneers of advan
ced thought were making their fight
for the blessings we now so casual-
lv ppnt. the nnwsnaner files of that
day picture with horror an age when
Amazons with short hair and bloom
ers might rule and ruin the world. In
two short generations bloomers have
made their way into the politest of
society and short hair no longer car
ries with it thestigmaof brains! There
There were no delegates at Tillamook
whose appearance or apparel would
cause even an old-time newspaper
man -to view them with alarm.
Some press reports rather gave
the Impression that debates were
tinged with acerbity. As a matter of
fact, the session throughout was most
harmonious. While all naturally could
not see everything from the same
viewpoint, the delegates seemed with
out conscious effort to be following
the admonition of St. Paul: "Be ye
kindly affectionate in honor prefer
ring one another."
We greatly admired the personality
and ability of our president, Mrs.
Callahan. If a debate threatened to
hnr-nmn heated, her sense of humor
could be depended upon to ease the
situation.. For example: an argument
.developed over the question of wheth
er there were thousands or merely
hundreds of women confined in the
state Insane asylums. Mrs. Callahan
came to the rescue by remarking: "I
understand there is also a long wait
ing list." Her good nature and kind
liness, as well as her just rulings,
contributed largely to the harmony
of the convention. The Federated
clubs may well be proud of their
state officers and committeewomen.
There are 123 clubs federated, with
I a memUerSIlip OI 1V,VVV. iucsny v"V
j a most amazing field of thought and
a membership 0f 10,000. These cover
activity. There are siuay, uorary mm
music clubs, clubs of railroad women,
. : - - ,. . i
graduate nurses and eouege wum,
coffee clubs and welfare clubs. New
Thought, civic and rural clubs. There
are Included leagues, associations,
clubs, bureaus, auxiliaries and coun
cils. Their purposes ambitions and
achievements, range over the whole
wide world. Women show the same
individuality in clubs that they do in
their homes and dress. Some care
principally for study and cultural
lines; others are interested only in
itv maters. Many
of our most intelligent women are
intensely interested in school affairs,
tariff and "bonus, but wild horses
could not drag them to hear the best
paper ever written on early Ming art.
The federation officers showed nice
discrimination in selecting subjects
of Interest to all, as a glance at the
program will disclose.
Americanization matters received
considerable attention, and among
other speakers, Norman F. Coleman
rather touched bedrock when he said:
"More and more America is demand
ing citizenship, and this calls for a
living wage for all workers with some
leisure for study and the maintain
ence of decent standards of living.
Given these, it is at once evident
that many of our present problems
will solve themselves.
Turkey and India seem very remote
to most of us. Gandhi is tnougnt oi
only as "that Indian who is getting
the natives to boycott all thingn Eng
lish." Most of us either say in pass
ing that it probably serves them jolly
well right, or that it is nothing in
our lives. How many of us -calize
that with his tremendous ff ilowmg
Gandhi has been promoting a union
of the colored-aces to wrest irom the
white man a share of the worldand
its fruitage. He has done the seem
ingly impossible in overcoming the
ancient antagonism between Hmdus
and Mohammedans, and these many
millions are now a unit in a move
ment which may menace the white
race and Christian religion. In dis
cussing this Mr. Irvine contended that
broader education is the only weapon
with which these forces can be com

us by our Forefathers, who were the
founders of this Republic; and
Whereas such revolutionary move
ments as Bolshevism, Socialism, Syn
dicalism, I. W. W.ism, Liberalism, and
Rationalization are contrary to the
fundamentals of our Democratic form?
of Government; and
Whereas all of these movements are
gaining headway in this country and
thereby jeopardizing the best inter
