The Mighty Mercer
A new novel, a story of more
than passing interest for even
an old brushhooker is "Cargo
of Brides." (Little-Brown of Bos
ton.) The author is Helen Ruck
er of Seattle.
The novel tells the love story
of Marianna Bancroft, " a spirit
ed redhead of seventeen who
left the shelter of her well-bred
Boston home to venture West."
She ventured as one of the 46
marriageable ladies ten were
widows who were brought to
Seattle by Asa Mercer on the
ship Continental in 1865.
They were good girls, one and
all, daughters of misfortune
orphans and young widows of
the Civil War. Each young wom
an had education that equipped
her for teaching common school.
Asa Mercer himself was not a
marriage broker but an educa
tor, the first president of the
University of Washington. Two
of the "Mercer Girls" made re
markable records as early public
school educators outside Seat
tle Lizzie Ordway in Kitsap
county, and Annie Stevens in
Lewis and Thurston counties.
Others taught in Seattle schools.
All but one Miss Lizzie be
came wives and mothers. One
marriedAsa Mercer himself. All
were active churchwomen.
The Oregon Granger
Asa Mercer was a mighty ax
man, of the Illinois breed of
Abraham Lincoln. He became an
author, a bussiness man who
built the first grain dock in As
toria and who according to his
torian H. H. Bancroft, managed
the first shipment of wheat from
the Pacific Northwest to Liver
pool. Mercer also fathered the
initial farm publication in Ore
gon "The Oregon Granger."
Earlier, in 1865, Asa Mercer
had written "Washington Ter
ritory; the Great Northwest. Her
Material Resources and Claims
to Emigration. A Plain State
ment of Things as They Exist."
The two trips made by Mercer
to the big cities of the east were
not simply to gather up cargos
of brides for the boys back home
but were also to boost his "Great
Northwest." On his second trip
he did heavy promotion of his
book.
He became special commis
sioner of immigration under
Oregon's Governor Woods.

While yet in his thirties. Asa
Mercer left- Oregon or Texas,
where he was soon publishing
four newspaDers "Vernon
Guard," "Wichita Herald,"
"Bowie Cross Timber," and the
"Mobeetie Panhandle." It was
wild country. Outlaws were on
the loose. The bold- editor of four
newspapers in four tough towns
could have four fights on his
hands at once, without half try

his ballot. He may bring someone
with him to mark his ballot, but
a board member must accom-1
pany him to the poll booth. If i
he is alone and requests assist-:
ance. the judge and a clerk of 1
opposite political parties will
accompany him to the booth,
one to mark the ballot as he in
structs and one to observe. No
paper of any kind except a green
sample ballot may be taken into ;
the poll booth by an elector.
A voter must not communicate ;
with anyone while marking his I
ballot and no smoking is allowed
in the polling place by either
electors, officials or poll watch
ers. Law prohibits electioneering
on election day within any poll
ing place or within 50 feet of a
polling place.
The United States attorney's
office in Portland will have an
attorney on duty throughout the
day and night Nov. 6 to assure
enforcement of federal election
laws. The actual mechanics of
conducting elections is exclusive
ly the subject of stale law and
the federal government plays a
minor role in the field.
However, conspiracies to stuff
ballot boxes, alter election re
turns, cause multiple voting,
bribery of voters or exercising
violence against voters to in
fluence their choices are among
acts which may constitute a fed
eral violation.
Citizens may confer with the

for Wyoming, .after seven fat
years.
In the windy state, Mercer
had the fight of his life. He
founded the "Northwest Live
stock Journal" in 1883 and built
it into a thriving journal of the
cattle trade. But then, in 1892
Mercer took the side of embat
tled homesteaders (and rustlersl
in Johnson county f against the
big cattlemen, who were deter
mined to drive the settlers off
the range.
This story has been told a
thousand times in books and
movies with "Shane" a recent
sensational example. Mercer told
the living story from the home
steader's view in a book that was
first called "The Powder River
Invasion," then "The Banditti of
the Plains." (It has been reprint
ed by University of Oklahoma
Press). The book was eventually
suppressed, and the author sub
sided into common editorial en
deavors. Asa Mercer lived on until
1917, in peace and quiet.
Helen Rucker brings the
young Mercer alive in her "Car
go of Brides." There is romance
and adventure in it and history
too.

Mr. Robert W. Ruhl, Editor
Medford Mail Tribune
Medford, Oregon '.
Dear Sir: " o
o
I was born in Cushman, Oregon, in 1915iand spent my life in th)
State, living in Florence, Eugene, and Portland. I was stationed in Med
ford at the District Headquarters for the Civilian Conservation Corps in
1934 and 1935. In September, 1940, I was called to cfuywith Co? L,
162nd Infantry when the Oregon National Guard was mobilized iafo
federal service. Upon discharge I attended the University of Orejpn
under the G. I. bill. I came to Alaska in 1 949 and have lived lere since.
o
As an Alaskan and a former Oregonian I feel that the pending elec
tion in Oregon is the most significant and important n the United (
States. In no other State do the candidates personify th opposinp
points of view on the critical issues as Wayne Morse and Douglas McKay? '
Nowhere are the battle lines so clearly drawn along so widt a
front as in the following: . 0
Public vs private power development. (Hell's Canyon, Dixon-Yjesp
Conservation vs "Give-Away" of natural resources. (AI0Sarena) Q
Aid to education vs the mounting school crisis. (Remefnfeee what
happened to the Hill amendment to the Tidelands Oil till?)
Aid to small business vs political favoritiim in awarding lucrative0
defense contracts.. o
Fair labor legislation vs Taft-Hartley. 0 0
Real vs pper prosperity for the family farm.
Constitutionally guaranteed procedures vs McCarthy?sm for
government employees.
These are not all the issues but serve to emphasize the0princfl
ones. The overall issue seems to be the public interest vs special o
interests. o
Who else have more staunchly championed the public thsi
Senator Morse or Adlai Stevenson?
Where have the special interests found greater aid and comfort r
than through President Eisenhower and his Secretary of Irfferior, 0
Douglas McKay?
' As an Oregonian I vividly recall the power crisis in Orecfon when
such a drastic measure as the "brown-out" was proposed to conserve
electricity, and the capitol city of Salem was facedwit,h severe
restrictions on its power usage. Yet, when many of u? concerned were
suggesting a study of the Columbia Va.lley Authority and Federal o
Power Dams, from the Governor's mansion came Douglas JAzYAy'i
classic reply, "What's the matter with the way we're doing itiow?" G
As an Alaskan I recall Douglas McKay's reception of our Committer
to plead for Statehood. The delegation was told th$t Alaskans were
not ladies and gentlemen although there was no indi&atioij0 of
rudeness from any of the members unless a desire for our cause to
be given a hearing could be interpreted as such. As the Secretary of
the Interior is the virtual ruler of Alaska the committee had nS f-
course other than to swallow its pride and await some fjjture time.
As an Alaskan I cannot vote for the President or pass on the Secre
tary of Interior, the Satrap appointed to rule us. We Alaskans have
already voted for those who represent us in the very?limited manner
permitted to territories, and the vote wai overwhelmingly Democratic, o
We elected two Senators and a Representative to Congress but they
have no official status and are only symbolic of our determination Q
to achieve Statehood and the right to work out-our own salvation.
We reelected Bob Bartlett as our Delegate to Congress. "As an
Alaskan he has no vote with which to pass on the matters that
concern us. He can only suggest, wheedle", beg and look0t frierttlly
Representatives and Senators who-do have votes for help.
Alaskans know from experience that Douglas McKay is eot sympa
thetic with our problems and aspirations. As a Senator he can do us
irreparable damage. On the other hand, Wayne Morse hfs consistently
worked on our behalf. o o
We Alaskans will be eternally grateful to the people of Oregon
for Reperesentative Edith Green and Senator Richard leuberger0whose
efforts resulted in modern commitment proceduresofor the mentallvo
