By FRANK JENKINS
TPHIS writer, in one' of those mo
. ruentB of yearning for the hills
and the thrills that come to all of
us about this lime of year, .had
something to say yesterday about
the excellence of a fat grouse, shot
out of a tall tree with a big game
rifle and fried in bacon fat.
Unfortunately, however, a com
ma got dropped out somewhere
along the line, and Uiis is what
got Into print: "A plump, Juicy
grouse, his head shot off expertly
with a 30-30 browned in bacon
grease, etc."
As these are written, the num
ber of readers calling up to ask
what is tho particular merit in
browning a 30-30 in bacon grease
is mounting appallingly.
ALL of which reminds us of the
school board chairman who
paid a visit to the schoolroom one
day while tho teacher was drilling
her English class In punctuation.
Being somewhat unlettered him
self, ho grew Impatient of such ex
acting niceties, and burst out:
"Aw, never niliid the commas. A
comma don't make any difference.
Loarri 'em to talk."
Vhereupoii the teacher instruct
ed one of the pupils to write upon
tho blackboard: "The chairman of
tho school board says the teacher
is an iillot." Then she added:
"Now put a comma after 'board'
and another after 'teacher'."
So, you see, even so small a
thing as comma has Its UBes.
THE Gazette-Times says: "Faith
is the ability to believe some
thing that one knows is not true."
This writer is inclined to amend
that definition so that It will read:
"Faith la the ability lo believe
something that one Holds to be
true- but that others doubt."
IF YOU have read carefully the
accounts of the Graf Zeppelin's
flight from. Fried richshafeu to
Tokyo, you noticed the statement
lhat It flew for hours and hours
over vast forests In Eussla.
Does that mean anything to
you?
THESE vast Itussian forests are
beginning to be converted in
to lumber, which is finding Its way
into the United States in rather
surprisingly Increasing quantities.
This lumber is produced by Rus
sian workers who receive the equi
valent of about 40 cents per day in
American money. It competes In
this country with the product of
tho Pacific Coast workers who re
ceive many times lhat sum, and
who have a standard of living
based on their higher earnings.
There is no tariff duty on lum
ber imported into this country.
THIS Russian lumber goes onto
ships at Vladivostok, or some
other Russian port of tho Pacific
whence it may bo dispatched to
California, or to the Gulf and At
lantic coasts by way of the Pan
ama canal, at a freight rate that
Is lower than the rail freight rate
from Western Oregon to thcie
same points.
So in time we shall be seeing the
spectacle of Russian lumber, saw
ed by cheap Russian labor and
brought to this country with cheap
ocean freight rates, competing in
the markets of this country, on a
preferred bar.ls. with tho lumber of
the Pacific Coast, which Is produc
ed by labor receiving American
wages and enjoying American
standards of living.
We shall see this, that Is, unless
congress can be made to see the
justice of protecting the great lum
ber Industry, of the Pacific Coast
as it has protected other great
American industries.
IIERE is 'hat this writer be-
lieves to he a fair statement:
The Pacific Coast does not de
mand a tariff that will shut Rus
sian and other foreign lumber
wholly out of the American mar
kets. The time will come when the
United States' will need more lum
ber than it can produce at home.
To meet these needs and to con
serve reasonably our own timber
supplies, we shall find It advisable
to import from other countries.
But we DO need tsrlrf protec
tion that will equalize the costs of
production here and aoroad In
Russia, for example so that for
eign operators, with cheap labor
, and cheap ocean freights, can not
. invade our own markets and take

which recently leased the top floor

"The hospital will be for the

protected by the association, but
such Is not the case. It Is our hope
and desire to work in cooperation
with all of the physicians of Rose

modations at this hospital, receiv
ing the services of private or hos
pital nurses and be under the care
of their own physician the same aB

commodations. Including the use of
our surgery, laboratory, and all
equipment, are to be placed at the
disposal of all physicians of the
county, and we will endeavor to
give hlglily efficient and careful
hospital service."

Frontier Clashes Leading Russia
And China To General War; Japan ;
Claimed In Alliance With Soviet
(Associated Press Leased Wire) " !
SHANGHAI, Aug. 2 1 . The nationalist government
semi-official Tachung news agency today issued a dispatch un
der a Harbin date line saying: "Although no major developr
ments have taken place on the Manchurian frontier during the
past two days, both China and Russia are quietly preparing
for war
The Chinese authorities declared
martial law throughout the entire
length ot the Chinese Eastern rail
way as a result of "the increasing
gravity of the situation as well as
because of a number of Incidents
along the railway sueh as the de
railing of trains and the recurrence
of sabotage by both Russians and
the Chinese communists."
The dispatch added that the
Kirln provincial government had
ordered two artillery brigades to
proceed to the eastern border of
Kirin province to oppose alleged
raids by Russian troops. Telephone
communications from Harbin to
the east have been interrupted and
communist agitators are believed
guilty.
The official Nationalist News
agency Kuomln says today:
Foreign observers returning
from Manchull stated that Soviet
troops along the frontier were
adopting a provocative attitude, ap
parently seeking to test public
opinion regarding Russian military
action. In th event of the absence,
of a hostile public opinion, Soviet
Russia is expected soon, to launch
a formal offensive against China."

cloaked tho end of the. attempt oC

Nothing has been heard or Been

Their plane was a French-made
I'urnian with a single 230 horse
