C Ross. So . much of the most interesting early history of Oregon is made up of reminiscences of the efforts trials and accomplishments of individuals, that I would like to recount some of the Hfework of John A. Taylor, who crossed the plains in 185! from Wls conson to Washington county, Oregon, with his wife and three small children. lie was not rich when he started but was poor when he arrived here. His Journey ended at Moore's mill near the mouth of the Tualatin. Here he worked for awhile and learned that there was not a bridge, ford, or ferry over that river between its mouth and Scholl's ferry. He explored a new country through which no line of travel bad- ever run between Chehalem gap and Portland, through heavy timber, thick brush and fallen trees. t At the place where the proposed road crossed the Tualatin, he had taken up his donation land claim, and after wards bpilt a I oat, mostly by his own labor.jESTnd established a ferry, aa soon as the road was open. This was the starting: of Taylors ferry. The road which he located and helped to build was called the Taylor's ferry road, which namt It still bears. andLlways ought to bear. ill iir. layior saw visions of wealth in his sleep, they were not realized in his working hoays for some years at least. He put in the most of his time im proving his road and to plowing on the Tualatin plains during the week, and then on Saturday evening1 and night walked home 15 miles, and Sun day evening walked back to his work for the following week. Menwhile during his absence Mrs Taylor and a boy ferried the occasional passenger across the river. After a long time travel increased and a double tracked bridge took the pl-ice of the ferry, and there was not a place In Oregon when a more cordial and openhearted hospitality was ex tended to the traveler. In those early days Mr. Taylor rep resented Washington county in the lower house. Later he removed to vvana vvaua, where he continued a busy life. For a time he was police ludee. He also at one time renresented ialla Walla county in the legislature of Washington. He was also interested in stock raising and other enterprises. lie ha8 led an active life, but a few MAI E CORPS IS AT 1 7,400 STRENGTH NOW, WOULD REACH 30,000 and sense of destiny , among the na tions caused the war,"' he said. "That is the psychology, the secret cause of the war. Whenever a person or a nation becomes so conscious of self that he is the biggest bit in the world, he is a dangerous bit."

Taylor. years ago he had the misfortune to lose the use of his right hand, so he bought a typewriter and taught that member to operate It. I received a letter from him some time ago written on his ninety-first birthday. , His mind is bright and he likes to talk to his friends of the days when ho was building roads, ferries and bridges, and doing his full part in de veloping and making habitable the country in which his lot had been cast. The United States Marine corps has reached its full authorised strength of 17.400. but. with the practical cer tainty that congress will pass legisla tion now pending Increasing tne en listed strength of this branch of the service to 80,000 for the period of tne war, recruiting is to continue actively to secure the needed 12.600. A tele gram received Sunday by The Journal explains the situation as follows: "Washington, April 29. Kdltor Ore gon Journal: ' "The United States Marine corps to day reached its full authorised strength of 17,400 men. The publicity given our needs by the newspapers which resulted In making known our slogan, 'First to Fight,' quickly brought the needed men to the colors, A further Increase of the marine corps to 30,000 men has been recom mended to congress and, sincerely be lieving that the Increase will be granted for the period of the war, I am going ahead with recruiting. Red blooded young men wishing to be first to fight will probably not have long to wait. "On behalf of the officers and men or the marine corps, I wish to ex press our hearty appreciation of the. able assistance ana neany coopera tion rendered by The Oregon Journal in recruiting the corps to full strength. Portland has responded splendidly to our call. I am going' to ask further assistance and cooperation to recruit the additional 12S00 men whom we need and I will address you a letter ; the subject of a special marine corps week, June 10 to 16, inclusive. when we will make an extra errorx to fill our corps to 80,000 men before the close of the fiscal year. "GEORGE BARNETT, "Major General Commandant." The Spice of Life. From the New York Times. "Have you much variety in your boarding house 7 "We have three different names for the meals." Garden "What kind of tools must I have for my garden?" If the soil is loamy and easily cul tivated, a spade, a hoe and a steel tooth rake will serve nearly every pur pose. If the soil is stony, a four-tined spading fork should supplement the spade. Where there are underlying boulders or the soil has become packed, a pick will be almost a necessity, sev eral Portland districts, notably Rose City Park, will find the doughty pick an indispensable aid. though th's gravelly soil is apt to be the most pro ductlve after thorough cultivation. For transplanting, a trowel should be added to the list,- and for punching the holes In the ground wherein such plants as tomatoes- and cabbages are set a dibble with its curved handle fit ting the hand is a convenience, al though a pointed stick can be made to take its place. Where there are under lying tree roots, a hatchet, mattock or ax will come Into play effectively, or if you wish to combine cutting with heavy digging, secure a pick ax. with a cutting blade at one end of the head and a digrfng point st the other. The equipment needed for making rows straight consists of a set of stakes and some string. Drive in the stakes and--draw the string tight, and if you have a furrow hoe (three cor nered) your work will be aided. Where soil is to be moved in order to fill depressions, a shovel must, be provided. It is always desirable to get your garden as nearly on uniform grade as possible. If you want to add mechanical equip ment to that with which nature pro vided you in weed'ns between the rows of small vegetables, a short handled scratch weeder watch looks like the claw of a predatory bird, and a single pointed weeder will be helpful. When it comes to cultivation no tools can take the, place of the hoe and the rake ror thorough work. If the soil has been prepared properly for beans, for instance, the use of a rake to keep the surface mulched Is practically all the cultivation that win be required out side of destroying the weeds. After each rain you should go over the gar den with a rake In order to keep the surface from becoming hard and to re tain the moisture In the ground where the plants will get the benefit of It. A very desirable Implement where the plot has considerable sice is a hand cultivator or wheel hoe. These come with blades adjustable for various kinds of work and can be pushed along the furrows like a miniature cultivator or plow. Small attachments can be obtained for turning furrows or for weeding. Watering the garden and irrigation have not become a problem in Port land or Oregon this year. A watering not of large sise will later become a valuable adjunct. A hose is most con venient when a pressure water suppl: Is available, Tbe county agriculturist nowever, insists, that in using a. nose Irrigating between the. rows follows by cultivation is preferable to sprinkling.
