PROMINENT PEOPLE.
When the first Mississippi steam
boat was launched on her maiden trip,
an optimist in the crowd leaped upon
a soap box and hazarded the assertion,
that in time, even finer and more effi
cient steamboats would ply the waters
of the great river. At once he was
beset by a howling, hooting mob which
reviled him for daring to entertain the
opinion that any improvements could
ever be brought about in steamboats.
The boiling over of a kettle set Watt
to thinking and the power of steam
was harnessed; the falling of an ap
ple stirred the brain of Newton, and
he gave us the laws of gravitation.
Great minds throughout the ages
have been swayed by the magic touch
of suggestion.
A short time ago it was my pleas
ure, to meet Mr. J. L. Roadruck in
his home in Irrigon. Some men do
not need to be supplied with sight
and comprehension but need merely
a suggestion to convince them of the
possibilities and capabilities of men,
institutions or communities, and of
this nature is Mr. Roadruck.
Mr. Roadruck was born in Hamil
ton County, Indiana. Indiana is the
home of "best sellers" and farming
cranks. Recall the Pappites and the
famous settlement at New Harmony.
It might be interesting to know that
Lincoln's mother was born in Indiana,
as was Albert Beveridge, James Whit-
combe Riley, George Ade and John
McCuthcheon and it looks as if they
had moved the literary zone from
Massachusetts to their own fertile
fields and valleys. His parents were
Zale and Lucinda Roadruck, farmers.
They had a firm grip on the primal
virtues of honesty, integrity and sim
plicity and their children were raised
in this atmosphere and drank deep of
simple, unpretentious influences which
went into the making of their charac
ter. When Mr. Roadruck was seventeen
years old he went to Kanses. He
stayed here ten years, farming and
teaching school in the winter months.
Twenty years of his life was spent
in the school room and many a young
man and woman recalls with pleas
ure the days spent under his direction
and supervision.
In 1898 he came to Clarkston, Wash
ington, and followed his profession
of teaching. He was there a short
time when he was offered employment
with the Lewiston Water and Power
Co., and one day being called into the
President's office was asked by the
President if he didn't want to drive
a real estate wagon for $75 per month.
Evidently the President knew that he
; would gain a desire to be more than
la driver and in this he was not mis
taken. It was not long until he was
'one of the regular salesmen and in
the year 1903 he came to Irrigon,
Oregon, to take charge of the Com
pany's lands there.
Irrigon at that time was merely
