ROOSEVELr TALKS 10 RA EIMPROVEMEN T SUBJECTOFLECTURE AT PAGE THEATRE KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 21.- Hefresbed by a good night's sleep, Colonel Theodore Hoosevell plunged today Into the second day ot speech- making n his western tour. His first address ot the day was In Kan sas City, Mo., where at noon ho wai to address tho progressives ot Jack son county. Tonight ho will speak In Kansas City, Kansas. Colonel Itoosevelt'a voice Is holding up well under the strain of the trip. PAItlS. feept. 21. 10:50 a. m. Telegraphing from Nlsh, Servla, un dor date ot Friday, Sept. 18, the cor respondent of tho avas News agency ttayB that Lieutenant Colonel Hdward A, Dlunkett of thcllrltlsh army, mil llary attache at Bucharest, Sofia, Allien nnd Uelgrado, took part In the fighting at Lesnltza, Servla, where ho was wounded. 15,000 AOSTK TAKEN IN THREE DAY PAIUS, Sept. 21, 3:03 p. m. In a message from Petrograd tho Jluvns correspondent sayg that dur ing tho lost three days the Russians in Oallcla liavo captured fifteen thousand Austrlans Including 150 of-, fleers. Many canon, quick firing gnus and supplies also have been taken. Mrs. La Moyno Livingstone will lecture, under tho endorsement of the Oregon Congress ot Mothers nnd tho Parent-Teachers' association, nt tho Page Tuesday and Wednesday even ings upon "ltnco Improvement" with slides nnd reels In tho movies. In her lecture sho deals prin cipally with conditions. She consid ers that civilisation has caused de generacy In society nnd not heredity. Mnn has bent all his energies towart law and possession. We nro low craxy. says Mrs. Livingstone. This everlasting desire to dictate to an other, as to the mode of living, what to eat, drink and wear, also tho de sire to possess a person, placo or thing, which afterward becomes nn obsession, means the suppressing of Individuals and creates fueds and bit terness. How Not to Improve "As long as we wilt continue to treat human beings worso than we do animals, we can never Improve the human faintly. The wars of the past took from us our best blood, leaving the world dependent upon the weak, burdening women with the providing of food and shelter for their off spring, bereft by the government of n provider,' said she. "The home has been rent tn twain through war for tho glorifying of our country. Wo do not yet know tho meaning of patriotism. "Is it the highest patriotism to force and crush the lives of human beings for the possession of proper ty? It Is the transalvatlon of value. we need to consider today. There la no homo as long as the powers that bo cause overhouslng, sweat-shop tenements, child labor, the enforce ment of prisons, white slavery and prostitution. This Is the commercial aspect of the world, and when we reaso to barter human lives for gold, making the dollar a dlety, we will have time to enjoy nature, art, music,' literature; wo will sing and laugn and play, realizing tho true meaning of how to get tho wine out of life, becauso we have become human. Liquor IM-ciivsfii "What about tho liquor question?" was the next question put to the vis itor. "Well, each person must answer that for himself. When we use our (Intelligence, in understanding our selves, know tho meaning of sdt con trol Jn all things, that problem wilt be solved," said she. Mrs. Livingstone claims that the two great Issues of the day are the wage question and tho sex question, and on these yesterday thus ex pressed herself: "They are the fundamental ques tions upon which tho Improvement of tho human family rests today. They havo much to do with tho child nourishment, environment tho lift ing of the blinds of Ignoranco re garding the sex life. Domesticity as a fetish Is doomed. Mother has been the drudge. Prudery, mock modest hyprocrlsy existed for the sake of so ciety. The homo must be recon. structed. Wonians' economic Inde pendence will bo its beginning. The aim will bo companionship, not mon ey, hose, food or clothes. The man and woman knowing each other men tally, physically. The child cnmlnn when desired by both. Tho woman considered no longer a sex commod ity, or a parasito, hut a mate. Then you will have true lovo, which will last, having found the "Valley of tho J Moon." Education I Keynote "It Is becauso wo know conditions are unfavorable for men, women and children, and that hundreds of babies are coming Into the world every day, that the keynote for society Is education."

Will G. Steel, Medford, Or. "Denr Sir: Hefore I could thank you for the History of Crater Lnke, which you mi kindly scut me, 1 hnxe received your letter of September 7. requesting further items regarding it discovery. 1 don't think 1 omitted nny eenliul point tlml you have not published in your nccunnt, some eeruing the discovery of the lake in 18.V1: "Some itiiimiMirtnnt minor mutter mnv have been unmeutioned. For in- stance, I should like to he nble to lo cate for your benefit the hist stop ping plnee we made before my com panions and myself left for the hist day's ride, which resulted in the dis covery of the lake. It could m he culled n enmp; it was jut u uniting plnce for the party until we returned. It was the bend of uu tirroyou, or steep mountain elefl in the hills on the right of the trail we were follow ing, nnd not very many miles from the hike itself, llollctl Moulders Down "Just n little while before riding up the mountain, previous to seeing the lake, we crossed n well worn, wide Indian trail, which we supposed was the route traveled bv the Oregon Indians, between Oregon, Klnumth lake and California. ''Worst of all, I suppose, I helped destroy ome of the scenic effects nt our first oint of contact. There were Severn! very large boulders near the rim, four or five, I think, nnd by our united effort we sent them crnshinir to the waters below. Our eyes could not follow them to the wnter, nor could we hear them when they struck, hut we knew by the rip pic in the lake when they landed, nnd I judged by the time the rocks were traveling that the water was 1000 to lfiflO feet below the-rim. I guess the rocks ure still there, ns I never innv- edjhem. Felt tho Heat "While standing on the rim we snw snow reaching from the summit to the wnter in very many plnces, hut in n few phiccs there was none nt nil. e mounted our minimis, turned to the left nnd rode past what is called Wiz ard island, where there wu no snow. I was riding in the lead, and when my mule left the turf for the rocks he flinched very visibly. Supposing his feet were tender, 1 jumped off to relieve him of my weight, nnd in do ing so I stooiR'd to the ground and renllv thought I could feci hent i-su-ing from the surface. Anyway, I culled to the men, saying we were near hell, for I could feel the heat. Hvcry one in the party thought the same thing, hut until now I luivu never written it, although in tnlking of the lake I have mentioned it. I never wrote it, for it did not seem nt nil reasonable, as I knew that old Crater lake hud taken ninny years to accumulate the amount of wnter that was in sight. I Hil Years or Ago "Writing is n serious (ask to me. I am well in my H.'ld year nnd am very weak. "If in vour work of writing about the hike you need any data about Ifogue Hiver vulley, you can find u whole fund of information in the per son of Mrs. Martha Hupp of Ashland. When I first knew her, in 1K.VJ or 18.").'), she wus u young miss of 12 or 13 yearn of nge, bright, intelligent nnd a universal favorite. She wus often the guest of Mrs. Uadgcr, whose husband kept the hotel in Jacksonville. She wan acquisitive for information and remembers ev erything connected with curly yeurs of tho valley. Sho happened to be one of the party of Indies to whom I related the incidents of my trip and the discovery of tho lnke. She seem ed more interested than the older members of the parly. Perhaps it was because they knew I was hunt ing for gold and the Lost Cabin mine and only found n lake. "Thanking you again for favors received, I am, yours sincciely, "J. W. HILLMAK."
