THE PLYMOUTH PILGRIMS
THANKSGIVING DAY always recalls thoughts of the set
tlement at Plymouth, made during this month three hun
dred years ago. That was long ago, yet a recent event
when viewed through the eye of history. It is fascinating to
tuink of conditions in those days and of the marvelous transfor
mation that has occurred
The Pilgrims came to the new world to obtain something
that may now be had without the asking in most all lands re
ligious freedom. But they did not intend to land at Plymouth.
Some historians say they meant to land in Delaware bay. Others
assert they had intention of locating on the Hudson river with
or near the Dutch settlement on Manhattan island. But the
Mayflower reached the bleak Ne v England coast and the Pil
grims stoutly accepted what they found before them. They
hfld on in spite of terrific hardships during the first winter and
their colony soon began to grow. Others followed them across
the seas and Massachusetts colony came into being.
The early Pilgrims were deeply religious, and today they
would be considered fanatical, but three hundred years ago they
represented liberal thought The Bible had but recently come
jnio me nanas ot tne laity ami trie Fiigrims toolc it literally.
Among the capital offenses listed in the early laws of Plymouth'
was "communion with the Devil."
In their dealings with the Indians the Pilgrims aimed to be
just but they were likewise cautious and stern when they believ
ed it necessary. They practiced preparedness and were not
above killing a few Indians when the occasion called for it. Miles
Standish was commander of the militarv. He had served as a
soldier in Spain and knew the effects of gunpowder. Doubtless
Miles Standish and his little company had considerable to do
with the fact the Plymouth settlement endured. The Pil prims
were likewise fortunate in the fact an epidemic had killed off
most oi tne Indians ot tnat region, thus leaving the country tne
more open to white settlement.
The Pilgrims have been both overestimated and underesti
mated. They were, however, well adapted to their mission. For
hardy heroism and devotion to their convictions they have had
few equals. They likewise. had much practical sense and judg
ment and on top of that staying qualities They did not turn
back although they could have done so when the Mayflower re
turned to England in the spring or on various subsequent occa
sions. America can always be proud of the Pilgrims.

The Hermiston Dairy Hog show,
the Hermiston Horse Show and similar
events received the hearty cooperation
of the agent and farm bureau. Ex
cursions ot stockmen and the county
agent were made to La Orande and
elsewhere for livestock feeding dem
onstrations. . Two boys and girls' calf clubs and
three pig clubs were formed. There
was one ot each of these projects at
Hermiston and Umaplne, while the
third pig club was at Columbia. Three
of the first five prises at the state fair
were won by the Umatilla Dairy Herd
Record Keeping Club. Miss Dorothy
Briggs, ot Hermiston, trained In this
work, took second prise in stock judg
ing a the state fair.
During the war and during the past
harvest season, a bureau of labor was
maintained in the county agent's of

meet the needs of farmers on a non
competitive schedule of pay.
Distillate Moved Rapidly.
Wnile much has been reported on
the distillate distribution, the report
county for agriculture work. The fed-,
eral government's share Is 1600. The
franking privilege In the malls Is esti
mated to be worth 1200 additional to
the county. The office maintained In
the federal building here Is worth an
additional f(00. Membership feet
from farm bureau members hav
brought in $525,durlng the year, which
amount has been used In farm bureau
work. A slight tax on tha distillate
distributed to farm bureau members
during the summer raised $450 to pay

Large immigrants from Europe are
going to California, according to W. I.
Black, passenger traffic manager of
the Sante Fe System, He said they
are mostly aliens who returned jo
Europe to fight for their country.
"The California bound Immigrants
are mostly French, Italian and Greek,
who ore very good argrlculturallsts
and find In the vineyards and or
chards of California the best oppor
tunity for the'r abilities," Mr. Black
sold.
"Now that the war is over, most of
them are coming back and they are
furnishing California with the largest
stream of Immigration I think It has
ever had. This has been going on
the I some six months and Increasing slowly
I believe they average between 600
and 750 a month."
Th Immigrant tralni that used to
bo run to Chicago before the war have
not been resumed, Mr. Black said.
One reason he said that there were
not enough Immigrants . to Justify
them, and another reason that th
Pullman tourist car was taking their
place.
