THE COMMENT OF
A WOMAN JUROR
(By Mrs. Alma L. Howe)

! After attending court eight and one
half days with three days and one
evening jury duty on a civil case, |
would like to express my sincere feel
ings as woman juror.
Mine was a very pleasant, comfort
able experience. but can readily see
how at times it might be most en-
barrassing situation. The IL men who
served with me were Of the very best,
many being neighbors and friends.
Court is an outcome of wrong doing
where all sorts of crime. cruelty and
misunderstandings, etc., are brought
up for settlement. The worst side of
the prosecution and the defense does
all it can to make it appear different.
So many of the cases coming into
if the proper training and discipline
had been given when young. The home
is the foundation of our national life,
where all such training should begin.
Next, the church with it's sacred teach
ings and influences, then the educa-
ton, business and pleasures. with the
courts as elimination of all. Just as
the home, church. schools, ETC., have
done their duty, so the courts are fed.
Our laws are founded on the ten
commandments and the teachings of
the lowly Nazarene. AS thou shall
and shall not was thundered from
Sinai ages ago, with its rewards and
punishmens. so it is today. | presume
there is no place where that old say
ing, IAN ounce of prevention" etc.,
could be used with more force than in
the courts. 1t is alarming when we
realize how many mere children are
brought into the courts fol- misdemean-
ors that could have been prevented had
they had proper home training and dis
cipline until they were little older.
Oh, the homeless. motherless chill
dreD that are made so through the
courts. The institutions are full of
them and overfiowing. How their
lives are saddened. Many are losing
their name and identity. Real orphans
feel that their parents would be with
them if they could; the court orphans
have not that consolation. Many par
ents are taking it too lightly, the
breaking up of their homes and scat
teriDg their little ones.
A home is not real home without a
a man can't make home for
children or do much for the institution
al orphans, that is for women.
AS for myself. am ready, as l have
always been, to help in juvenile court |
shings at any time but will ask to be
excused from jury duty. would |
rather use my energies, time and |
mother love to help prevent them get
ting into the courts than sitting on the
seat of decision.

Clipped Here and There

l was greatly interested in the edi-
torial in The Oregonian, under the
caption. THE Legend Of the Blue
Bucket" Especially so, because my
mother, Mrs. l.. W. Loughary (maider
name, Eliza Simpson,, was member
of that ill-fated immigrant train which
Stephen Meek led astray in 1845.
My mother, who is in her SD year
and is the daughter Of old pioneers,
Mr.. and Mrs. l. M. Simpson, is spend,
ing the winter in our home. She is
hale and hearty. alert in mind and still
can do more work than most girls at
l6.
She we'll remembers when the train
was lost on the Meek "cut-off." and
the irate disfavor under which Meek
fell. She distinctly remembers how
one Of the older girls of the party
picked up shining nuggets, carrying
them in her apron and upon reaching
the wagons placed them in a blue
bucket-a wooden bucket painted blue
on the outside. They were not found
in a stream, but taken from mound
of earth.
Those nuggets were examined by
members of the train who were un-
certain as to their quality or value.
The train came to a stream which
my mother now thinks was Crooked
river. The stream was too deep to
ford, the oxen were forced to swim
across. A rope crossing was impro-
vised and by this means the belongings
of the train were taken across the
river.
By some mishap one wagon bed was
capsized in the stream and all the con-
tents were lost, including the blue
bucket with the nuggets. The immi'
grants endured great hardships while
negotiating the Meek cutoff.
Under the stress of hunger COW
was killed to provide food. Upon
reaching the cascades Cascade Locks)
my mothers parents used the last bit
of flour they had.
Late in the fall of 1845 they settled
on their donation land claim in the
Luckamute valley, near Airlie, where
they lived and passed away at ripe
age. The title of this land was from
the United States government and re-
mains unchanged to this day, except
ing as vested in the family.
My mother has been a constant read
er Of The Oregonian since its first pub
lication and still reads it through ev-
cry day. My mother knows, by ex-
perience. that the blue bucket mine il

The old policy of selling only devel.
oped orchard tracts to new settlers has
been a grave mistake. This was the
statement made recently to Hood Riv-
er men by c. r. Bone, pioneer devel-
oper OF orchards. The thing that
should be done and must be done to en-
courage newcomers. he said, is to sell
them tract of undeveloped land along
with each planted orchard tract.
To our way of thinking, this sugges-
tion is highly practical. sensible and
timely one. Ii is in accord with the
keynote of our Homeseekers' number
of last month. In that was stressed
the fact that the new settler will do
the best and be most satisfied only
through purchase Of reasonably priced
good land and the transformation Of
this, by his own resources and labor,
into an intensively developed acreage.
The suggestion of MIR. Bone puts the
idea in concrete form. Beneath il is
sound psychology. The plan provides
for creative work on the part of the
settler. In this are embodied the
greatest joys and satisfaetions that
come to the keen. normal man. II
YOU do not grasp this fundamental
truth read again the experience articles
published last month. Every one Of
them pointed out the JOY and the
pleasure derived from development
work in the fruit game.
IL was shown. of course. that CREST
est financial reward also comes from
development Of a tract Of land into a
valuable and productive ranch But do
not overlook the fact that something
more than monetary reward is neces-
sary 70 make the red-blo06ed worker
happy. That something" is construc-
tive, creative activity. The new ar
