Vf of pedestrians and irritated if they do not jump out

When you are walking you get angry i at the motorist
who nearly knocks you down. , I ' ,
Stop to think. Isn't it true that auto drivers show scant
-courtesy to pedestrians? The right of way;at crossings be
longs to the one on foot. Yet autos are forever making him
jump and run, or crowding in across his pathway. ' The per
, son afoot must be nimble and vigilant to avoid accident. He
ought not only to be safe from accident, but shown courtesy
by the car driver. .. ; t I .
Salem streets get in a tangle. There is no regulation
at intersections. There ought. to be. We should have con
. trol signals or officers on duty at busy hours. But though
these are now lacking we can make some substitute for con
trol by developing a courtesy toward pedestrians. . '
Give the footman the right of way. The person cross
ing your lane of travel should be permitted to get across
jmd not be forced to stop and want till you get past.
Much can be done by adopting a rule of courtesy. The
police force would do well to wage such a campaign and get
support of the press, of civic clubs, and others to the end
' that people driving in Salem would get the habit jof giving
way to the pedestrian. Auto drivers fan be easily rude, al
most without knowing it. When they are walking they -get
the other slant and realize how discourteous they may be
when behind the wheel r , ' - I'- " k
Let Salem ' people get busy and improve practices at
street intersections, controlling the traffic better, giving
the pedestrian a safe transit from curb to curb. Training
in courtesy, backed by exercise of police authority till the
lesson is learned, would improve things here greatly.
Phone Inquiry Ordered
TNVESTIGATING the rate structure of the telephone
J. company in Oregon is probably as good a thing as any
thing for the new. public service commissioner to try his
teeth on. Portland has been clamoring for lower rates, and
. the city commission tried to force a franchise with a 25
. rate cut through. The courts held the council lacked the
power. ' . : j.; '
x The, telephone company, in response to criticism, has
said that its rates were as low; as- would- support adequate
service and give fair remuneration to 1 the owners of the
property, "and assert that its earnings last ;year were 5.4
on the value of the property. The company therefore says
that it is willing to lay its books before the commissioner
and present its case. I - i - .
The generar public lacks accurate (knowledge of what
telephone investment and operating costs; are; and while
some may feel rates should be reduced, they know that it
will take definite evidence of excessive profits to secure
any rate reductions. . ! i
The problem is now up to Commissioner Thomas. The
linal upshot will probably be an order to reduce rates based
on the "mandate of the people

Would the ladles who read this
column like to know about the
first sewing society organized in
the Oregon country? It la very
well described in' a quaint and
now valued book, "Ten Years in

The first white child was the
little daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Whitman, at Waiflatpu, .. named
Alice CUrissa, after . hef- two

and the first 'white boy were

in the Walla Walla and the oth
er In the Columbia river.
But as to the first sewing so
ciety. It' is safe to assume that
Mrs. White, co-author ot the
book, wrote or dictated that
part. She described life at the
old: mission, where, in the first
log house, were quartered CO
people, missionaries' and Indian
students, mostly orphans, who
were their wards, for . a short
time, after the arrival of the sec
ond reinforcement, Sept. 7, 1827,

lery Ewlng Young had started to
puiNzp near where Newberg is
now. -And about the first mis
sionary meeting, at Christmas, at
which there-was subscribed a to
tal ot $242 for work among the
Indians. Think ot that! Mis
sionaries giving of their slender
earnings for more missionary
work; eked out by small amounts
by the settlers with Indian wives!
Settlers - who had tanned deer
skins for windows, when they had
any windows at all. She wrote:
' V la
."It was proposed to organize a
society for the clothing of Indian

met (only seven white women

the house of Mr. Beers (only re
cently finished.) There- were
many present, and, seated on
their mats on the floor, plied
their needles under the direction
of their instructresses. . In this
way they were employed for
about the same number of hours,

cieties in this country. (Meaning

"At supper time the ladles par
took of a meal prepared accord

natives ate with much seat, tor a

That Is the little story, told by
one who was there and partici
pated In the organization and
activities of the first sewing so
ciety in the Oregon Country. -
Mrs. White gave the following
as the routine of the women of
the mission after the arrival of
the first reinforcement: "During
the summer the ladles divided
their labors as fellows: Miss
Johnson taught' the school. Mrs.
Shepard attended to the cutting,
making and repairing of the
children's clothing. Mrs. White
and ' Mrs. -' Lee were-, made
overseers of the cooking. - and
other domestic matters; though
the cooking 'was not very labor
ious Or extensive; as the fare that
season consisted of salt salmon,
some pork, pea soup, and once a
week bread, and as often butter."
