MANY of the figures of the days of exploration of the
great west have entered into literature, into legend,
and into art. 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-

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

when Leni entered. Without mov

without removing the cigarette
from his mouth. "What's the mat

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

He could reach up with his dirty

Salem, Oregon
To the Editor:
The 18th amendment to the con
stitution of the TJ. S. provides
that the manufacture, sale, or
transportation of Intoxicating li
quors for beverage purposes is
prohibited. The ; recent congress
has defined intoxicating liquor as
that having a content of over 2
per cent alcohol by weight and
has made It legal for doctors to
prescribe unlimited amounts of
alcohoL
Those who wish alcoholic li
quors can now legally obtain and
drink 2.2 wines and beer and real
hlskey by prescription. Should
not even the wets be satisfied
with the present arrangement?
Who besides those who through
greed wish to become rich by the
manufacture or sale of liquor
without regard for - the human
misery It will - cause or who
through selfishness wish to shift
their corporation or Income taxes
upon the people by a liquor tax
would want to bring : back the
open sale ot intoxicating liquors?
Are . we going to let these two
grasping and selfish groups bind
us by their false arguments?
Shall we not play sate and vote
201X No, 2I5X No, and for our
dry candidates until we are pre
sented and guaranteed a plan that
will do away with the compara
tive small evils under prohibition
without any danger of the return
of the large and terrible evils "of
the legalized liquor traffic?

WILL HELP AVERAGE MAN
We repeat this sales tax, under
conditions which exist at the pres
ent time will prlnclpslly help the
average man, the small property
owner and the farmer particularly.-
The farmer In most ot his
transactions will be exempt, he
will only pay the proportion of the
tax the retailers may pass on to
him, and then only In proportion
to his monthly budget his ex
penditures ' In cash. 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.
