PIONEER PEDDLER DEAD
Peter Kurre, Once Known at Every
Farm House From Eugene to Nc
MinnViIle Dies In Portland.

A pioneer citizen of Polk county
and Landmark of the Willamette
valley passed away in the death of
Peter Kurre at st. Vincent's hospital

he carried his goods on his back.
Later, he had made leather trunks,
and with one on each side Of his horse

was known by every man, woman and
child on this side of the river from

Not caring to call to my friends fol
help, (for, indeed, when you go broke,
friends grow cold,) I donned a suit OF
blue overalls and jumper and
struct out in quest of a job. For two
years followed the business, and,
during that time, kept eyes and ears
open, and think-box going. and /
shall here record my experiences and
observations. They are all real, and
are either personal experiences or the
experiences Of others coming under
my immediate observation, and
shall record all as my very own.
1t was in June that I started out,
and headed for the wheat-flelds of
Kansas. gave an employment Office
So, and that secured for me ticket
from st. Joseph Mo-, to a point 10
miles west Of Wichita, Kansas, in the
great wheat belt. How Independent /
felt when l determined to ask no help
but made up my mind to get in and
dig was past forty years of age,
and knew just about as much about
the labor question as the average man
knows about it who is destitute of all
practical knowledge and whose mind
is full of obsolete theories, good forty
years ago, but, like the old wooden
ships of war, very poor material with
which to fight ironclads. / had been
a hired man in my youth and had
worked for my neighbors, but / was
to try it under modern conditions. 1t
took me about as long to find that the
world had changed as did the officers
and crews Of the Congress and Mime
sofa, in the Civil War, to find what
the Merrimac was made Of.
The first night out brought me to
Topeka, Kansas. After a hearty
breakfast of ham and eggs, ordered
in true country boy style, I strolled
out to see the sights in that really
beautiful city. From some cause, our
train would not leave until the after
noon, so when 1 saw the State House,
I concluded would call and pay my
respects to Mr.. Stanley, the Governor
of the State, and afterwards member
of the committee to allot land to the
Indians in Indiar Territory. I had
heard Stanley speak when he was
candidate for Governor, and, to hear
him tell how his sympathies were en-
listed in behalf Of the laboring man,
one would almost believe he was tell
ing the truth.
Before describing my call, permit
me to say that was familiar with the
usages Of good society and had met
officials before-two of them forty-five
times as high as a Governor. had
met two presidents Of the United
States, besides numerous Senators,
Congressman, United States Supreme
and Circuit Judges, Generals, one
Duke, three Counts, and one English
Lord, a Justice of the Peace, and a
Policeman.
I had learned that great men, that
is, men in high office, are not like a
The nearer you approach
a mountain, the bigger it seems; the
nearer you approach high official,
the smaller he seems. So, unabashed,
I dressed in a clean suit of laboring
clothes and made my call at the
executive office of this boasted friend
of the laboring men.
Continued next week.

reading, 1t is published by permission. .-ED1ToRl
MOI long since, the leading papers
and magazines contained articles from
the pens of fortunate business men.
teemlng with wise saws and theoretical
advice to young men on the great
question of how to succeed in the
world, and all dwelt with great force
upon the claim that industry, capabil-
lty, and devotion to ones employers
would secure to any laboring man
recognition and promotion. The state
ments made and theories advanced
were OF no value to young men, for
the very good reason that they did not
fit the facts of the industrial world as
they are today.
In the days when the men now past
middle life were getting their start,
men worked for their employers and
merit secured recognition, but today,
in all the great centers of industry,
men do not work for their real en-
ployer, that is, the paymaster, but
they work for another hired man
called foreman, superintendent or
general manager.
The fact that all articles pertaining
to the question of employer and en-
ploye, and shedding light upon the
great question Of labor, are read with
interest, proves that the people are
seeking light upon this question as
they never did before. 1t is the great
question of the age. Other periods
have had their struggles for social,
political and religious freedom, for
emancipation from conditions that
crushed the masses for the benefit Of
the favored few. All these movements
have been preceded by discussion, and
all victories won for humanity have
been those fought out on intelligent
lines.
With all our seeming prosperity
and boasted liberty, there is today
state of unrest, an anxious inquiry, a
discomfort that means something.
There is that in the Anglo-Saxon
blood which makes its possessor in
clined to conservatism, to ''suffer
while evils are sufferable," but at the
same time tits the patience of conscious
power. The days of the Rockefellers
and Morgans and such are as surely
doomed as were the days Of despotic
kings when the minute men at Con-
cord fired the shot "heard round the
world" We are fast approaching a
condition of things in these United
States similar in kind, different in
form only, to that existing in France
the Revolution.
This much I have stated in a gen
eral way, preliminary to an article
dealing with facts gained by expert
ence and observation during two years
as a plain laboring man. The reader
will excuse the frequent use OF the
pronoun I, for it would impair the
force of the narrative to use the edl-
torial "we," or make references in
the third person. If I succeed in
shedding some light upon the relation
of employer and employe and add one
little fact to the great array OF facts
that must be understood to enable
some future Jefferson to formulate
declaration placing the social fabric
upon broad simple enunciation OF a
self-evident principle and give to
humanity a form of social life as
great and strong as the first declara-
ton gave to political life, [ shall feel
amply rewarded.
A few years ago, circumstances OF
health and purse compelled me to
occupations and yet lind I'M
