Jason Lee was born June 27 or 28, 1803 his gravestone in
the Lee Mission cemetery here gives the former date, his
diary the latter on a homestead near what is now Stanstead,
Quebec, just across the line from Vermont. At that time the
boundary had not been definitely established: the Lees con
sidered themselves Vermonters
their heme was in that state.
Youngest of 15 children, Jason Lee received a limited
elementary education4 in the Stanstead village school and at
age 13 was self-supporting. Years later in defending his stew
ardship in the Oregon mission before the Methodist mission
board, he recalled that he "was brougnt up to nara worK,
had "managed gangs of men before he was converted and
"had seen the day when he could chop a cord of sugar maple
wood in two hours."
The conversion he mentioned occurred in 1826, at age
23, after he had already been making his own way in the
world for a decade. His preparation for the ministry at Wil-

gleaned from various sources
nan's "Jason Lee, Prophet of the JNew Oregon," loiiows:
Jason Lee was a large, athletic young; man, six feet and
three inches la height, with a fully developed frame and a con
stitution liite Iron . . slightly stooping, and rather slow and
awkward In his movements; of light complexion, thin lips close
ly shut, prominent nose, and rather massive Jaws; eyes of super
lative spiritualistic blue; high, retreating forehead . . . some
what long hair pushed back, and giving to the not too stern but
positively marked features a Blightly Puritanical aspect; and
withal a stomach like that of an ostrich, which could digest
anything.
When Jason Lee first migrated west it was in the en
tourage of Captain Nathaniel
discovered to be a perfect
that the party in general was "the most profane company I
think that I was ever in." Yet there is evidence that Lee was
respected by and popular with this rough band of moun
taineers. John K. Townsend, ornithologist accompanying the
Wyeth party, who wrote the most complete narrative of this
expedition; observed:
Mr. Lee is a great favorite with the men, deservedly so, and
there are probably few persons to whose preaching they would
have listened with so much complaisance. I have often been
. amused by Mr. L's manner of. reproving them for the coarseness
and profanity of expression which Is so universal amongst them.
The reproof, though decided, clear, and strong, is always charac
terized by the-mildness and affectionate manner pecuUar to the
man; and although the good effect of the advice may not be
discernible, yet it Is always treated with respect, and its utility
acknowledged.
From the various accounts of the first Protestant re
ligious meeting conducted in the Pacific Northwest, at Fort
Hall before a congregation of 30 white men the combined
Wyeth and Thomas McKay parties and 30 Indians, a simi
lar impression may be gained. Townsend wrote that "the
people were remarkably quiet and attentive, and the Indians
sat upon the ground like statues . . . although they could not
understand a word that was said . . . After the service the
Indians indulged in a series of horse races and one was killed ;
next day Lee also conducted
service in the region. He wrote : "Read the funeral service to
all of both companies, who appeared very solemn. O that they
would remember this, that they would think on their latter
end."
Such was Jason Lee: a sincere and inspired man of God,
yet a man among men, scarcely
ministry of the period : one able to appraise the merits even
of the Godless men of the region and to command their re
spect ; a pioneer himself, able to hold up his end in the rough
labor that conquest of the wilderness required. It is not to
be wondered at that though, his ministry to the Indians
brought little permanent gain for reasons beyond his con
trol, which will be described later he wrought mightily in
his unexpected role of empire builder.
The End of Doubt
"Perhaps it will come tonight. Perhaps it will corns next
week. Perhaps it will never come."
These were the words of
Parliament and his nation when he referred to the Battle of
Britain which he anticipated even as" the last wounded Brit
ish soldiers were being removed from the Flanders beaches
under a rain of bombs and machine gun fire. France had
fallen, British troops had come back from the Continent with
their spirit undimmed, but their positions wholly lost. The
war had to continue, and it could only continue in Britain.
The attack did not come that night, nor that week, nor
even the next week. But now it has been long promised, and
is long overdue; so long overdue, in fact, that Herr Hitler
himself had to go through the pretense, last week, of making
one last offer of what he rather humorously calls "peace.'
Yesterday he received his answer from Lord Halifax him
' self, the British minister of
appeaser.
The noble lord repeated for perhaps the last time the
view which Britain has consistently held during the period
of the conflict, and which it continues to hold. "We will not
stop until freedom for ourselves and others is assured he
said, and denied that Britain would ever "accept this new
world of Hitler's. He flung, in short, Hitler's own words into
that worthy's teeth. yr:. '
But having done so he erased all shadow of doubt that
the Battle of Britain will be long
too much of his preparations,
. . ;it
cis own gooa, ceceiuui comrades an nis own propaganda
ministry have written too long and too dogmatically' on the
theme of the British invasion for him ever to call of f the
battle without fighting it. His loss in what the Japanese call
"face" and the dictators "prestige" would be far too immense.
and there would still be England lying across the Channel,
with her fleet and her growing air force, threatening the new
order of things on, the Continent, just as she frowned on Na
poleon a century and a quarter ago. S
' And so, that Hitler's face may be saved and the glory
of the great reich of the Nazis made a permanent thing, the

mutual safety of both free em

them both to their present sub

The failure of France was not
a failure of democracy but of the
calibre of the people who were in
control of that democracy. It was
a human failure traceable to the
human instinct for self -care among
employers and workers at the ex
pense of their well-being and that
of the nation. They, not Hitler,
really kUled democracy in France.
, A bitter mnd-slinging presi
dential campaign in this coun
try might help the cause of
fascism too. Exhibitions of the
lower tricks of political decep
tion will tend to .weaken confi
dence in democracy. No form
of government " can be more
sound, fair, J oat or sincere than
the political leaders who oper
ate it. We will make democracy
work. - - '

T.R. The English privet used
for hedges is Ligustrum Vulgare.
It . has white flowers and black
berries The leaves are a bluish
green and the plants adapt them
selves to a wide range of soil and
exposure. This plant withstands
frequent or severe clipping which
tends to result in the production
of a more dense growth.
Another species of privet which
is very attractive and which
should be comparatively hardy
here Is the California privet (Lig
ustrum ovalifollum).
A cross of Ligustrum ibota and
Ligustrum ovalifollum is the Lig
ustrum lbolium, and Is very use
ful for hedges. Its foliage is very
dense.
The Amur privet (Ligustrum
amurense) is 4 native of north
China and extremely hardy. Ita
erect growing habit, rapid growth .
and hardiness have combined to
make it quite popular for hedge
planting. It withstands any.
amount, of trimming and shearing
and it is good where a tall nar
row hedge is desired. Its foliage
is light green and is not quite aa
attractive as the foliage of some
of the other species.
B.S. -From your description, I
should say that red spider was
attacking your plants. Dust with
sulphur dust. Ton may have to
repeat it a. number of times. Red
spider is most destructive during
dry hot weather.
PJ. The past week, with its
urn weather ' and intermittent
showers, brought out considerable
mildew. Sulphur dust if used
consistently will control 'mildew.
So will Bordeaux. Copper oxide
sprays have been very effective in
the control of mildew in the com-
mere 11 onion fields in Oregon.
To kill the so called fairy ring
in lawns use a mercuric chloride
compound. Spray and garden
stores carry this under a variety
of trade names. Corrosive subli
mate is advised to check the
brown spot fungus in lawns.
