In a message from Petrograd tho

in Oallcla liavo captured fifteen
thousand Austrlans Including 150 of-,
fleers. Many canon, quick firing
gnus and supplies also have been

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."

which you mi kindly scut me, 1 hnxe

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,
