Siic KUU, LEAHKD WIRB TEI.EOIt AI'll HEPOIIT DOWN THE SILETZ IN A FLATBOAT A party of. Blx of ub left for Agate Bench by wagon, equipped for a flsh lng and hunting expedition. Bound for the Slloti! country, at the Agency, we built a flat boat and floated down tho 8lletz river, finding about twenty-two miles of this famous fishing stream continuous eddies and rapids, long, and twenty miles of tide water. That after Climbing on to this bridge, wo found It pretty shaky, but, as evidenced by the well-worn path leading up to It, It was strong and durable, neverthe less. At noon this day we lunched on fish caught eu route, the largest of these being about sixteen Inches Just after lunch, the writer, a pretty fight with a salmon above the tldo water Is a river about trout, succeeded In landing him. the she of the Clackamas; below, it is similar to the Willamette at Port mna, oniy mucn deeper and very winding, with Innumerable curves. One place, after traveling about fif teen miles, wo found the stream dou bled back to within a mile of Itself but I am getting ahead of my story. Our teamster and team were all light;' ilow and sure, without hurry or blustor, and we had a splendid Toad; good enough to moke any au tolst feci generous towards the farm ers along tho way. Passing nlong through this beautiful timber land, with Its mnny homostoads, we nil felt nt peace with ourselves nnd our sur roundings, nut apparently all was not peace even here, for suddenly we came upon an Indian gathering at tending a fftlr, who evidently thought It a proper time to nssert their rights and settle a fow out-stnndlng ac counts. A general scrap was In pro gress, several young bucks fighting among themselves, with the women nnd older men acting as peacemak ers. Knives and guns were shown, and threats made, but at the appear ance of an offlcor, It was very amus ing to see tho way the braves scatter and run. At a hotol by the wayside, where During the afternoon we passed several streams, all giving evidence of being alive with fish, Ducks were flying up and ('own stream overhead, and the sportsmen of the party gave evidence of hs presence by fusllades, which awakened the countryside to danger, but not a feather did he get. Later, however, he was In at the kill ing of a bear, which greatly enlivened his fallen spirits. We traveled on until late In the day, hoping to reach a barn full of fresh hay which we had been told about, but at dusk gave up this hope, for soon It became so dark that we could not see to guide our craft, and wero In danger of be ing swamped. At one place our craft was swung by the river current under a projecting log, wnicn swept away a lot of our fishing tackle, The writer saved himself from harm by lying down In the bottom of tho boat, re ceiving nothing worBe than a scratch on the noBe. The rest of the party. by hook and by crook, and a great deal of suddenly developed activity, escaped unharmed. Our hunter above mentioned fared the worst, being thrown out of the craft, but we pulled him In again as the barge scurried along. We had gone some hundred yards or more before the young QO'tL'S Barks Herbs That have srent medicinal power, are rained to tlnli highest e'Rclencv, for purifying nml enriching tile blond, ns they are combined in Hood's Ijiirsu purllla. 40,3tiB teKtlmonlnls received by actual count in two years.

When about two miles down the stream, we met the boat we had sent for carrying a jolly crowd of excur sionists gathered up by a friend, who when he heard we here up stream, started out to meet us. We all went back to Mowrys, some to fish, some to canoe-rlde, others to scrap over some pies a kind lady gave us. At two o'clock, with flag flying, we embarked for a grand ride on a gay little Bteamer on one of the prettiest rivers In the state of Oregon, and arrived at Taft at about 6 p. m. Here we stopped at a hotel, met a number of friendly campers, and at night we all gathered round a huge bonfire on the beach, Joining our voices In song, ana closed with fourteen verses of "Evallne." Next day we walked down the beach of the grand old Pacific, about 20 miles, arriving at Agate Reach after an eight days' outing, weak and weary, but happy, S. P. MAKEY. THE OPEN FORUM The Capital Journal Invites pub lic discussion In this department Let both sides of all matters be fully brought out It Is not thepurpoBeof this newspaper to do the thinking for Its readers. ilege of operating the office and that Mr. Dunlway refused the offer. And we have It from the same source that the state printer's compensation was at least until recently, greater than the salnrlcs of the governor, secre tary of Btate, state treasurer, labor commissioner, superintendent of pub lic Instruction, all tlt judges of the supreme court nnd members of tho railroad commission combined. And this In return for the management of a medium-sized printing office and for providing the material for doing the work. According to the figures of State Printing Expert .Harris, the Initiative pamphlet recently printed netted Mr. Dunlway between $5000 nnd $0000 for preBBwork alone over commercial rates, and the work was done outnlile of the state printing office. Mr. Har ris' figures are conservative In the extreme; Is It surprising therefore that the stute printer spent hundreds of dollars In tliu same pamphlet for an argument against tho flat-salary bill? The taxpayers paid for that ar gument to continue a system which would take thousands more from their pockets In the next two years under the present lnw. It Is very Bafe to assume that Mr. Dunlway Is fighting so Btrenuously to protect no one but himself. The voter has his choice In November; be may vote for the flat salary bill and effect a large saving to the stnte, or he may vote to continue the present system, and lend his aid to the unnecessary spending of the large amount It per mits.

THE ROUND-UP we stopped for lunch, the wa!ter,wh hunter knew "where he was at"! was kindly disposed, told us that he took pleasure In waiting on working men; that he could tell working men s.t sight t Arriving at the Slletz agency about six o'clock In the evening, we pur chased additional fishing tackle and supplies, hired) an Indian to com mence work on our boat In the morn ing, and shortly retired and slept the "sleep of the weary." With our united help, our boat was completed at noon, nnd we were rendy for the start. Interested by tetanders assured us that the Indian had not built us a boat that would save us from a wetting possibly a funeral but the young bnatmnn soon proved that ho knew hlB business.

During this journey we of course hnd our Hiicr nut for fish, nnd were rewarded with some beantlen. flown the stream wo floated nnd rowed by Intervals over the silvery waters of the Slletz, winding along through val leys nnd gorges of Indesorlliulile beauty, on a clear, sunshiny day. At. the end of tho second .day, ar riving In one of the numerous gorges 4ilong the way, we pulled up to the river bank at a place which looked hood to us, nnd found It a regular -camping plnce, with an anchor for lioldlng boats. This anchor was mado ly cutting n ring out of a stone no doubt mado by some Indian long since rone to his "happy hunting ground. Here we slept on tho gravel, awaking tho following morning with water within a few feet of our feet. After a regular camp breakfast, we started down stream once more, the water, In the main, being quite rapid nnd the valley, with all Its windings, quite scenic. At ono place (known, I believe, ns Eticher creek a suspen sion foot bridge had been built more than a hundred feet above the water. That night we sat up late in an attempt to Induce slumber sufficient ly powerful to overcome the effects of the beds of gravel we had pre empted. We succeeded only Indiffer ently, however, and next morning early embarked again. We soon found we did well in giving up hopes of reaching the barn, as we did not reach this haven until noon. Side streams appeared to have enlarged the river; It was swifter and required much care to save ourselves from be ing spilled Into the wator. Most of us had more or less of a wetting, being obliged to, get out and aid In the steering of the craft from the out sldo, at various places of apparent danger, and were rather glad to do so. At noon we arrived, at Mowrys (the head of tide water), a ''gem sot in the hills," where we wero greeted by a number of fishermen and hunters from Portland, Dallas, Corvallls, nnd other places, who were encamped here, all apparently oblivious of the press of business or other cares. Here salmon nnd trout Jumped up In the river In seeming scorn of tho fisher men, but we bad the pleasure of see ing a goodly number of them repaid for their Impudence. Two men brought In loads that resembled a cannery. , I'Vom hero wo sent work to Slletz. bay for a launch to come up and get us, ns our craft by this time was leaking and looking like its days wero numbered. Besides, from this place on, Its piloting and .rowing would re quire a great deal of muscle and Bklll, besliTns several days tlnio to reach the end of our destination, and our tlnio was limited, wo waited next tiny until noout noon, and no boat arriving for us, we packed up our dunnage and returned It, by wagon to Agate Bench, left our own craft behind with much regret, and all piled Into a small gasoline boat used for carrying tho mail. The united weight of our party sunk tho guards of the little boat to the edgo of the water, but wo did not realize our HOW TO PRESERVE YOUTH AND BEAUTY. Ono great tecret of youth and beauty for the young woman or the mother Is (he proper undemanding of her womanly syslcm and well-being. Every woman, young or old, iliould know hmtlj and her physical make up. A good way to arrive it this knowledge ia to get a good doctor hook, auch for instance, a "The People's Common Senso Medical Adviser," by R. V. Pierce, M. D., which can readily be procured by aending thirty-one cent! (or cloth-bound copy, addressing Dr. I'ieroe, at llullalo, N. Y. The womanly ayitem is a delicate machine which can only be compared to the in tricate mechanism of a beautiful watch which will keep in good running order only with good oare and the proper oiling at the right time, lo that the delicate mech anism may not he worn out. Very many times young women get old or run down before their time through ignorance and the improper handling of this human mechanism, Mentul depression, a confused head, backache, headache, or hot Hashes and many symptoms of derangement of the womanly system can he avoided by proper understanding of what to do, in thoso trying timet that come to all women.

Wiixiaju, Sliitc Printing Profit;, Ed. Journal: Articles bearing a Sa- lem date line and purporting to be news matter, have been appearing In a Portland evening paper recently, attacking the state printer flat sal ary bill. They are shrewdly written, and bear the earmarks of the handi work of the beneficiary of the pres ent corrupt systom, Willis S. Dunl way. The general public knows little of matters prlntorlal. Many people even believe that the office Is now on a nat salary. For the benefit if the uninformed and In Justice- to those who were responsible for the Initia tion of the bill, a few words of ex planation are necessary. For several years a large number of citizens have been urging the flat salary system. Several of them are former employes of the office, under Mr. Dunlway and, his predecessors. These men know approximately how much the state's printing costs, and how great a sum Is handed over to each succeeding holder of the office, They know beyond dispute that the system Is extravagant and the profits If the stnte printer are out. of all pro portion to the services he renders. This year, after the legislature had passed tho Miller bill to take effect in 1915, a movement was started to amend it to rend Instead, December 1, 1912.

Mr. Dnnlway Is not to be recalled or legislated out of office; It simply charges his compensation from the $S000 It Is admitted he gets annually or tho $16,000 he Is said to receive, to a flat salary of $1000 a year. itemizing that Ills chances of de feating the amendment wero very slim If the bill went before the peo- i'ie on its merits. Mr. Dunlway has dragged tho typographical union bug aboo Into the limelight nnd made It his principal argument for the defeat or the measure, hoping thereby to se cure tho votes of tho element oppoBtl to or unfanilllnr with unionism.

The typographical union hns no se cret or unlnwful Interest In the mea sure's success. The members believe that by virtue of their calling the are more familiar with the matter than tho nverago citizen. Most of them are homeowners and taxpayers. They have seen the evil and extravagance of the existing system when other citizens were not In a position to, and as any civic organization would do In tho samo position hnve dared to fight and expose It. Of the merits of the Miller bill and of the demerits of tho present system much might bo said if space allowed. Suffice it to Bay, the flat salary If eco nomically administered, will save the Btate at least one-third of its biennial printing appropriation. The exact amount of net profit of the office ench year Is a matter of speculation, as It Is difficult to obtain correct figures on that point. We know what Mr. Dunlway receives, as the Bums spent for printing are matter of public record. His expenses are not mado public, however, as tho law simply turns over a certain sum to him for the work.
