The names of Lewis and Clark, of Dr. John McLoughlin, Sacajawea, Marcus Whitman, are of recognized national importance in American history. In addition to these were many others who played prominent parts in the 1 opening up of half the continent. Among those whose fame is however little known is Jedidiah Smith; and it is pleas ing to note that he is made the subject of a biographical sketch hi the August-number of the Country Gentleman. Oregon knows Smith as the first white man to cross the state from California. He headed a party of 18 Amer icans who headed north after a winter spent In the Spanish '.possessions at the mouth of the American river near the .present site of Sacramento. When they got to the Ump ,qua they were set upon by Indians and only three survived, 'making their; way on north to Fort Vancouver where Dr. McLoughlin succored them, and sent out a party which re covered their furs. Honoring this early explorer, a river ,was named Smith river, which empties into the ocean a few miles south of the Oregon line. A bridge across it was .'dedicated during Gov. Patterson's administration. ' This thrilling experience however is not related in the article m the Country Gentleman, to the regret of students of Oregon history where it has always received prominent ' mention in the consideration of the fur trade. The maga zine article does review Smith' early life; and the Oregon experience was by no means unique with him. His first venture beyond the frontier the party dashed with Arick- ' ara Indians, and Smith distinguished himself both as fight- 'erand as a praying Christian (he carried a well-worn Bi- m At- t i . m.1 .L.'-t Die in me crease pocicei or. nis imnuns snirt;. i Aeain with a comnanion he started to cross the plains to reach a tradinp- party on the Yellowstone. Indians took after them. That night they came upon a small Indian camp and Smith and his comrade killed the three in cold blood, seized their horses and resumed their journey, ' In those days Christians had no difficulty with conscience in the matter of killing an Indian. -Smith Tow to the toD raDidlv. as explorer and trader.

Kruger, sitting deep In the com fort of a leather chair, did not arise when Leni entered. Without mov ing he looked at her strained face. One of her hands clutched the opera cloak over her breast, the fur brushing her smooth neck. Shut the doort" said Kruger without removing the cigarette from his mouth. "What's the mat ter afraid I'm going to bite you?" She stood gazing at him without speaking while a little dark pool formed between her eyes where the faintly penciled brows drew to gether. The cloak rose and fell visi bly with her breathing. Kruger, too, was affected despite his effort to be domineering; a dark vain in his temple throbbed with a steady beat. "What are you doing here t What do you want of met" Leni asked. Her voice was low and almost polite. Kruger nervously threw his cig arette to the rug and straightened forward agressively. "Ton know very weu what I want,? said Kruger loudly. "Ton in your fine feathers you wish I hadn't showed up, hey? It. is not pleasant to have a starving bum hanging round la his rags, is it? No oh not Not when he happens to be your husband! It would be so alee and convenient to forget aH about Karl Kruger, wouldn't It?" Lerd's Jreathlng was difficult and she had a c eld sickness In her breast. Crack-brained and egotisti cal, this man had it In his power to poison her whole life. He could reach up with his dirty hand and pull her down again Into the mud and despair from which she had climbed by the almost superhuman force of her own will by the soul-drive of her own re volt against the shame and misery of a haunting past.

It Is not an added tax. the entire proceeds of the tax will be used to reduce the tax burden that now exists and unless this tax passes, must be paid. Obviously the small prop erty owner, struggling to meet his taxes, will chiefly benefit. The main burden ot the tax will fall upon the large retailers, the big depsrtment and chain stores. for their volume of business is greatest. That is why they are fighting It. And only one large department store in the state is NOT fighting it. because the pro prietor of that atore happens to be Governor ot Oregon. Governor Meier of Meier and Frank. As Governor Meier stated in his radio talk last night, If this sales tax peases, It will probably cost his business more than any other business In the state. But he is unselfishly supporting it, because he realizes more clearly than any one perhaps, that Its passage will benefit the state, avert a disas ter that Its defeat will certainly invite. It It is beaten he will ben efit personally: but if it wins the state will benefit. As governor of Oregon, he Is for the state. I That Is a splendid patriotic act. and deserves far more public rec ognition and support than It has thus fsr received. Medford Msll-Tribune.
