Albany, Or July 22. To tha Editor of Tha Journal The "Patrons of Hus bandry' commonly known ' as the grange, as a whole, vehemently oppose tha licensed liquor traffic. At the session held May 25. 1897. at Corvallls, Xhe writer Introduced this resolution, which was unanimously Indorsed: "Resolved, That, as , officers and members of tbe Oregon State grange, we demand the enactment by our state and by our national legislators of such laws as shall prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors except xor necessary medicinal purposes. It might have Included, "for sclen- . tirio purposes," but not "for sacra mental.'' This last clause might well have been left off in our proposed con. stitutional -prohibition . amendment. Fermented wine Is not used by many churches. As far back, at least, as In the seventies the W. C T. U. and the Good Templars protested against Its use; for alas! often persons who were trying to reform and had united with some church - by the Influence of, and for tha helpfulness that Christianity gives, had the old appetite . brought back by a taste of the alcohol In wine. Liquor dealers understand this element Of human weakness when they sprinkle the sidewalks In f roiA of their saloons with some alcoholic compound. Two kinds of wine are mentioned in the Bible. As I understand It, one Greek word means "pure Juice of tht grape." Such as this Mrs. Laura Turner of East Portland (one of tha "Kelly clan") gav me the formula to make from grapes. In the summer of 1876. It was used to make sweet wine for tha Tay lor Street M. E. church, Portland. But. back to the grange. At the late May session of the State grange In Monmouth the committee on "good of the order," to whom was referred a resolution favoring prohibition for Oregon, submitted the following, which was heartily adopted: . 'We recognize the liquor traffic as tha enemy of good government and the home, and place ourselves on record as favoring any law, either initiative or legislative, which would, when en forced,, eliminate the liquor traffic" Quite certainly a large majority of the people of Oregon believe In prohi bition and feel sura Oregon is going dry, but therein lies the most danger that It will not do so; for too many may ba "so sure that they will fall to register, or. If registered, will not vote. and Oregon will remain wet. It Is f-easy to sea how even liquor dealers will join the refrain, Oh, yes, Oregon is going dry,- thus hoping that thou sands will ba saying, "It's no use for me to vote. The state is going dry anyway." Electors! Voters! Please all regis ter and then, next November, all vote for the right, "as God gives us -to see tha right." and this, no doubt, will be to help redeem our peerless , Oregon from tha curse of strong drink.

To 'the Edi tor of The Journal If tha Portland water department has ever Introduced a wise rule, it certainly is tha ona that limits the sprinkling of yards to alternating days and allowing mora time for sprinkling. This new water rule would ba a credit to our best veteran gardeners, and certainly baa my enthusiastlo approval, as It Is th means of more rational care of lawns and gardens in general. The average man who does not make a study of gardening, but has to care for a lawn or garden, is In the habit of sprinkling superficially and doing it frequently. This does keep tha grass green until dry weather seta In, when it results In burnt lawns in spit of the frequent watering. Tha roots of growing plants constantly grow toward tha source of moisture, which nature has stored m the deeper layers of earth. During warm -weather the surface soil will dry out, forcing the root system to extend Into the deeper soil. Of course, even this will gradually dry out, and then vegetation comes to a halt. A daily light sprinkling, as a rule, only moist ens the soli on the surface, seldom more than one inch deep, and more fre quently only a half Inch. The affect of this is to causa all tha rootlets to grow to the very surface. This sur face water Is very quickly evaporated. Therefore it is harmful . to coax tha life supporting rootlets to tha sur face, where (he ground is so quickly dried out, thereby killing these roots. Besides, it Is a wasteful method to store the water In the most exposed part' of tbe earth only, which IS done when only enough water Is given to moisten one inch or less of tha soli surface. The right and logical way Is. to water until tha soil Is soaked four, or better, six inches deep, Tha surface may- dry out just as quickly. but below the water la retained for days. It does take a long while to soak dried out soil deep, but It will need - repeating only every three or four days. Where a person does hot have enough time to water the" lawn thor oughly, It is far mora advisable to water only part of it and tha next time tha other part,- By having longer hour to water, a chance la given to do a mora thorough job," and -then there Is no need to ba at it every day. I hope many water users may profit from this explanation and go to It cheerfully, knowing that all Is batter the-new way. To all lovers of plants and garden ers, X wish to say, look out for tha cutworms. They, are at-work now In greater numbers than ever before in this part of tha country. They are From tha Philadelphia Publlo Ledger (Republican). The administration has succeeded In achieving on a gratifying basis in Mex ico what the Knox diplomacy brought to pass In Nicaragua. In tbe case of Zelaya, and what Is In process of com pletion In San Domingo and Haiti. It has established the moral hegemony of tha United States north of tha Isth mus. It has translated tha president's Mobile speech from a theory into an actuality. There is no longer a ques tion of our right to Interfere In the domestic affairs of rebellion ridden neighbors. We have ' overleaped the technicalities of International . law and have asserted a new doctrine, based, as Is tha Monroe declaration, on our physical power to enforce It, and look ing toward vindication of Its righteous ness in tha ultimata good that must coma from tha cessation of the revolu tion as m, custom. There will be here after no successful revolt, in Mexico, in Cuba. In Nicaragua, in any of . the nearby Latin-American republics, tin less It bears our sanction, and every potential dictatorwili find a complete bar to his aggrandisement in the attl tuda of Washington. President Wilson has accomplished his purpose by Indirect intervention. He has avoided war, but secured Its fruits. Whatever Huerta thinks, the constitutionalists know - that tha springs of their success were north of the Rio Grande. We opened to them an inexhaustible arsenal. Wa put tha Huerta government in an equivocal po sition before the world, effecting Its financial starvation. Our attitude as sured its ultimate dissolution, but at the menace of war, now happily avert ed whether by good fortune or other wise. We have, however. Incurred 1 corresponding responsibility - for tha cause which wa Indirectly nurtured. Huerta' s abdication Is an avowal that the federalist causa is lost. Car- bajal Is an Interim authority to ar range for tha peaceful transfer of power. . Ha has already sent a commis sion to arrange this. Our government has been prompt to notify Carransa that recognition will immediately fol low such a transfer. It may safely be expected. . Tha new government will control a military force mora efficient than any before organised In Mexico. There Is no bandit who can stand against it. It is sufficiently well disciplined to as sure tha semi-military government which Is vitally necessary to tha res toration and maintenance of order. 1 - I - The astuteness of tha constitutional lsts has been shown by their refusal to be drawn Into the mediation proceed ings. They coma into authority- with out compromise. They are bound only by the dictates of justice, and justice mey must administer to the satis tac tion of the United States. They can begin their program of reform under conditions far more auspicious than those which greeted Madera As an offset to factionalism, which is their gravest menace, they have the assur ance ' of American support, whloh stamps with futility any revolt before It begins. It is in. this respect that our moral hegemony continues to ba of superlative importance. Tbe president has led tha nation through tha valley of the shadows. Peace haa been over a powder maga zine in Vera Crus for weeks. The na tion was brought to the very verge of war. But so far and no further. The result is the thing. Huerta has gone, armed Intervention has- been averted, our forces can be brought back from Vera Crus, there I an opportunity. even a promise, that chaos will whirl Into order, after inevitable delays. " That the situation might have been Just, as good if Huerta had been recog. nixed Is ndt the question. The presi dent's policy sought a particular result and It has been accomplished. From that viewpoint, he has won a conspic uous success, an almost unbelievable triumph. He steered successfully through the rapids; most ot his coun trymen believed that he should have kept In buoyed channels. Ha did not and ha has won, -whether by skill or good fortune does not matter. I Tha civil authority has already dis ciplined Villa. Ha will ba subservient to tha established government. What ever tha episodes of today or tomor- n ...i.rat!n v vl.tiUi In rttnr1np civil control and accustoming the rebel forces to the ways ot peace. It is prob able that the foundation has been laid for stability, and out of the dis cordant elements soon to flood the cap ital will come a strong man with strong lieutenants to begin tha stu pendous task of political and ma terial rehabilitation. If not and the lust of loot again becomes ascendant. it is Inevitable that our moral doml nance will eventually take a more ma terial form. We are dedicated to the principle that Mexico shall not con tlnue to be a plague spot of the west- tern hemisphere. , TOGETHER IN LOCAL THRIFT CLUBS concluded that if wa did not protect our fish they would soon ba things of I nocturnal in their habits, climbing up the past.

To the Editor of The Journal Tbe following petition, signed by 1500 convicts In the state penitentiary of Pennsylvania, for pres entation to its legislators, when they meet, is pathetic. Is there a heart so hard it will not respond to the appeal f "To the Senate and House of Repre sentatlves Tour petitioners, repre senting the major portion of ."tha In mates of . tha state penitentiary 0 Pennsylvania, respectruiiy aver: . "That they believe fully 70 pefcent of crime within the state la attribu table to the excessive use of intoxicat ing llauors: and . . That many of them nave a personal knowledge of its debasing influence as exemplified in their own lives; ana "That, believing if tha sale of in toxicating .liquor was prohibited by your honorable body, tbe effect would be to reduce crime at least SO per cent, if not more: they thererore : "Respectfully pray that you will fa. vorably consider he introduction of any measure having for "its object the curtailment 01 tne liquor trairic and strive to obtain tha passage of an act to prohibit tbe sale of such intoxicat ing llauor anywhere witnin tne bounds of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "We further pray that you will give due consideration to this petition, com ing to you as a voluntary deed of ear nest men and -women, acting entirely on their own initiative without sugges tions from others. x . , . What a strong argument for prohi bition that petition is. The legislator who -turns a deaf ear to the appeal poses as one who is willing to give his Influence for that which causes men and women 'to become criminals and robs them . of their: personal liberty munlty. He ought to ba able to sug gest soma mighty practical problems for tha committee to tackle, backed by definite figures as to income earned by a majority ot tbe city's workers. Perhaps - the banker ought to take tha initiative in calling such a thrift boosting group together. However, it may be done by anybody who Is sur flclently interested to carry It along.

They will be glad to help In making tha campaign or thrift education fa miliar; tbey will stimulate you to find new ways of interesting peopla and their editorial pages will bo opened freely to your arguments it you will make them logical and gen erally applicable, School savings banks and school gardening for tbe kids; tha building and loan for the grown-ups; the-sav ings banks for everybodyhero are the foundations for a local campaign for making thrift popular and prac ticable.

"My . ; maiden name was Rachel McKlnney. ( My father, William McKlnney, .was a farmer and was bom in Ohio, while j . my mother, whose maiden name was j Anna Walter. wa born In Pennsyl- , vanla. I was born on June 10, 18JX, in Indiana. l "When X was I years old wa went J to Illinois end when tha treaty was made with tha Indlanstbrowlng Iowa territory open to settlement, we moved to Iowa. We stayed in Iowa until. the' spring of 1S44, when we started for J Oregon. Tfim spring of lsit was a ' very wet spring and In consequence many of the streams were high and th brltraa w r iih.il mil W V were so delayed by the flooded streams and tbe missing bridges that when wa arrived In St. Joa the i company we were to go with had al- ( ready started for Oregon. Father de- , - elded to stay In St. Joe until next . spring. During tbe year we spent In ' St. Joe we children went to school. t. Joe. Mo., in those days was tbe Jumping off place tor all of tha t unsettled Indian country to the west- ward, as well as for the great plains ' and the Santa Fe country. 1 "As a child I used to be greatly la- 1 terested In the pack trains that came out of the upknown. stayed for a little I while, and then, with their Mexican ' arivers, oisappearea again over tne western rim of the horizon. ' "There were six of us children ' Charley, Isabell, myself, James, Wil- i 11am and Joseph. There were only a t few hundred people who were per ma- , nent residents of St. Joe. Among tham waa a "inrhmin namAiT JaaDh Robidoux, the founder. - ot St. Joe. ' with his Indian wife, and their half- ' breed children. He was . a trader 1 among the Indians and a trapper. - Ha , had settled in St. Joe in 182C. For ( a while he ran an Indian trading sta tion at Roy's Branch; later he changed j the location of his store to the Black Snake Hills. A postoffice was eetab- t , llahd there in 1840. The name was 1 changed from Black Snake Hills to St. Joseph when the plats of the city ware j " recorded in July 1843. The year after we left It became the county seat and ' In after years It was the outfitting point for the California miners, and later the eastern terminus of the pony 1 express. , In the next spring, the spring of , 1846, it seemed as If everyone had de cided to go to OregOn. Some of the ' companies left from Independence.-1 while several companies left from St. Joseph. Hackle man' a company as well , as the company under W. O. T'Vault , left from St. Joseph. In our company . there were 5 wagons and we elected Sol Tetherow as captain. Mr. Tethe- ' row had two grown daughters and ' some children of about my age. With . us was my mother's father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. William Walter, witn two of their children, and two grand children. The grandchildren s names were Joe Allred and Ella Ann Allred. Joe was killed by the Indians In southern Oregon some years later. James Miller also crossed with us, as well as the Charltans. the Wooleys. the Adams family, the Cornelius family, and the By bees. There were four ot us girls who were almost inseparable. We were all of about an age: Ellen Wooley, Mary Tetherow. Isabeth Miller and myself, we used to oe together most of the time. We would start out before the wagons got away in the morning and walk on ahead eo as to keep out of the dust. I can re member how curious : the antelopes used to be. Tbey would look at us a , while and run, then turn and look at us, and come toward us, and again Be come panic stricken and run away." Tbey seemed to be futy of curiosity and to have little fear, one time we were a mile or two ahead of the train add saw a "cloud of duet approaching us and flnaUy heard the hoor beats of the horses-of a band of Indians charging toward us. W ran as hard as wa could toward the train and aa the supposed Indians approached, they turned out to be a small herd of buf falo. Wa were very much relieved. Sometireea the stampeding hards of buffaloes caused us a lot of trouble. I remember one time the men went out to shoot into a herd and turn it but some of the buffalo would not be turned and salloned right tbrougn our wagon train, causing a lot of confu sion. One buffalo Jumped between our wagon and the wheel oxen. A large band of Indians stopped us once near Fort Laramie and demanded that wa trade flour to mem xor out- fala robea and other things they had. . Wa finally compromised by stopping , and 000 king tha Indians a Dig roeai o . bread, coffee, dried fruits, bacon an beans. At another time several hun dred Indiana approached us on horse back, shooting their guns and yelling, . so tha man corralled the wagons, put ting tbe women and children Inside tha corral and prepared to defend them selves. Wa had a man named Green wood who was a mountain man and acting as our guide. He had two of his halfbreed sons with him. He went out and parleyed with the Indians and , they finally went away. They were ; Crows and Greenwood married a Crow woman, so he bad a lot of influence with the tribe. . "While we were on the Platte the Pawnee Indians shot some arrows Into some of the loose stock which had' straggled toward the rear. They ran t among the otter cattle bawling, whleh . started tham to running, and as thw loose cattle swept by the wsgons.tho ; oxen stampeded. Soon almost all ef the ( wagons were tearing along in hard as they could go. Several of tha . wagons were broken and Mrs. Woolay.. bad her leg broken. It took us several; days to fls np the broken wagon. be fore wa could go on. . ."Near the Snake river my grand father, William Walter, traded bis gun foT a beautiful Spanish horse to ona of tKe 8nake Indians. That night tha Indian came back and stole the borsa. Wa didn't get to the Willamette 'val ley' until a day or two after Christ mas."
