with Jean Nelson as co-hostess
on Wednesday, April 27.
Martha Barak of Hermiston
a former club member, re
viewed the book "Russia" by
Hedrick Smith. Smith was
assigned to Moscow as bureau
chief of the New York Times
form 1973 to 1977. He decided
that the average American
only learns from the media
about the politics and trade
maneuvers of Russia, its
space accomplishments and
its farm successes and
failures but does not hear
about the human quotient.
Therefore, the book tries to
convey a concept of the char
acteristics of the Russian
people as individuals, she ex
plained. As a people the Rus
sians are imbued with a most
strong national pride. How
ever, there is a latent sense of
rebellion which is evidenced
by their procrastination and
their illegal counter-economy
to make up for their low
incomes. Average wages are
only about $220 a month so
they have to do something to

They came west in 1853 with
their daughters, Mary Etta,
and Julia, to settle at Oregon
City. Their first son. Silas
Albert, was born in Nebraska

Anson and Effie. were born
during their 19-year stay in
Clackamas County.
Albert's brother. Anson,
who never married and who
had come west to Oregon, and
Albert's and Julia's oldest
child are buried at Redland
near Oregon City. In 1872
Albert came across much of
the state to begin the history of
his family in this area. He
built a log cabin near Rock
Creek. across from the
present-day Anson Wright
Park, and spent the winter
there before moving his fam
ilv to that part of southern
Umatilla County ' (over 20
vears before it became Mor
row County.) They built their
permanent home on upper
Rhea Creek where some of
their fifth and sixth generation
descendants live today.
When Albert and Julia were
coming west they traveled in
the company of the Rev. J K.
Hines. an illustrious Methodist
missionary. Mr. Wright and
the Rev. Hines became
staunch and lifelong friends.
After the Wrights settled on
Rhea Creek, they soon joined
other pioneers who wanted
church services and religious
education for their children,
and Albert, through his
friendship with the Rev.
Hines. bv then a state leader
