Election By Mathematics
rTPHK Oregon City Enterprise, al
ii ways astute in its political
prognostications has figured out
.the coming election by sheer
mathematics in a manner which (3
"interesting, ir not entirely convlnc-'
Here is the way that the Knter-
pilse lias it figured out;
the last general election in
. Oregon on November 0. 1U28, a to
tal or 319,912 ballots were cast for
presidential nominees. , Of UiIh!
number 205.341 were republican
- votes, 109,223 democratic and 5378
socialist and Independent.
At the primaries last May there
was a total of 141,659 votes cast
for nil republican candidates, and
30,535 for the , democratic caudi-
- dates. Of tho total republican vote
' at the primaries Joseph received
50,545 approximately 35 per cent.
', Since Joseph was an exceptionally
' colorful campaigner this can fair
ly be assumed as representing the
maximum percentage . of strength
of.au Independent among the regit
TTXr republicans. . . .
. ,
; i,Jtnco a general election with an
JriflcDendent, in the field Is more or
less -comparable to a primary elee-
I JJoo, and assuming for comparison
pigt,thq three-comorod fight win
iteif out, as. many voters this, fall
'. as went to the polls at the last
presidential election and further
that tho independent candidate,
JUlius Meier, cau equal tho Jo
eeph strength and pull thirty-five
nor cent from the regular lopubll
tUtt ''party followers, and can pull
niv equal percentage from the
.democrats, where. does that leave
the regular republican nominee,
Phil Metschan?
( lot Its see: .v--;
35'7o of the republican vote
nf 205,311 would give Meier . 71,869
,iiVe ol, tne uemocrniic yoie
of 109,223 would give him 3S.22S
i'Meler's total 110,097
-.. .This then would leave Metschan
jji'xty-five per, cent of 205,311, or
133,472, and Hntley sixty-five per
x-ent of 109.223, or 70.995.
- So wo find tho result nf the
hypothetical election as follows:
Metschan 133.472
Meier 110.079
Bailey 70,995
. Total vote . ..814.51M
,-Thls total brings as back to our
original figure of 319,942, votes

mbius Ihe 5378 socialist and Inde

take Into account, ussumlng can

Responsibility Without Authority
, (Astoria liudget)
4 Tom Halfety was chief of the
state traffio department for ten
years and he was generally regard-1
ed as a good one. He has been I
deposed by Secretary of State Hoss
for the good of the service, the sec
retary declaring that internal dis
sension for two years has handi
capped the work of the department.
Sometimes it is necessary to sac-)
rlfice the Individual to the cause
even though it may be unjust -to
the Individual,' and Mr. Itaffety
may be the victim of such a neces
sity. His removal may eliminate
the disrension but the corrective
measures should not stop there. It
has developed that the chief of the
traffic department does not have
authority to employ or discharge
subordinates. Lnder such a condi
tion it la too much to expect that
any chief can maintain discipline
and prevent internal strife. Re
sponsibility to, be met must be
backed bv authority. That is fun
damental to any'siiccessful admin
istration.

FORTUNATELY, serious cases of
edema are not common. Llut
the Importance of the disease must
not be overlooked. It Is a condi
tion in which. there is a swelling or
a putfluess iu some part of the
body. There, is an increased
amount of fluid in the tissues. It
Is, hi a sense, u kind of dropsy. ,
The underlying cause must be
found. So far as it is understood
by the medical profession, it ap
pears to come from some change
iu the condition of the blood, and.
In consequence, overlilliug of the
blood vessels.
The walls of the blood vessels
are very thin, and to some degree
porous. In Ihe con nested area,
because of the over-filled vessels.
Ihe less dense portion of the liquid
serum is forced or squeezed
through the walls. It lodges In or
between the tissues, cau sine them
in swell mid harden. The symptoms
depend on the utmntity of the fluid.
There art various diseases that
have edema as a smptom. Persons
who have heart or kidney trouble
usually have It. In certain stages
of Hvi':ht disease, the pun ness ap
pears under the eyes, or in the
leg? or ankles.
Those w ho have anemia, with
low blood pressure are apt to have
edema. It often occur during
prenancy and it is a symptom in
hard) nine ol the arteries, as well
as in neuritis- neuralgia, or other
diseases of the nervous system. In
diccftiiou imvy bring .on hivns, with
considerable edema,
' Serious Cases Not Common
1-Mema ot the lungs is a serious
thin;, It is usually present in
pneumonia. There is a marked in
crease in the blood supply in the
blood vessels of the lungs. This
consestion Is the first step In the
process of edema. It is then that
a leakage of fluids Into tho air
cells of ihe luius takes place.
If all ihe air cells of the limes
wrrch) be filed suddenly with this
fluid, death would be as Immediate
as in drowning. However, such
cases are not common. :
F.ven it the attack is mild, the1
symptoms tviav be severe. There j
Is a senee of tightness In Hie chest
and the patient pants for breath.
There Is coughing and a frothy- ex
pectoration. The cough becomes
constant and blood may be ex
pelled, i
It is natural that the patient
should be frightened and excited
This adds to the congestion. Pale
ness, cold perspiration and weak
pulse may be observed. . Noisy
breathing Is a symptom in such a
case. i
' In cases of simple edema, when
troublesome, rest and elevation of
the swelling In the lower limbs 1b
tho limbs is likely to give some
relief. : Sweating, hot baths and
certain drugs are employed by the
physician. i r . , . ,,
tEven If the condition does not
cause much discomfort, it should
not be neglected. Every case
should receive good medical care,,.

commercial needs of the Alaska of
today.
TPHKRK Is much speculation as
to why Washington and Cali
fornia have grown faster ihan Ore
gon., Gold has had much to do with
It gold and oil.
Washington, with little gold of
her own, has profited from the
gold, of Alaska, because those who
dig for gold must be supplied with
the necessities ,of life while they
are digging, Seattle was the nat
ural place to furnish these sup
plies. . ,
California, of course, had BOTH
gold and oil.
f"UEGON with relatively little
gold and no oil, at least so far,
has lacked the stimulus to sud
den growth that is provided by
these tremendous producers . of
wealth. But keep your eye on Ore
gon in the future, with more of an
eveu chance lu coming .decades,
she is going to give a mighty good
account of herself in friendly riv

COMETHING has been said hero

which were dowered by nature

Don't overlook Los Angeles,
which had NO harbor, but pos

has a commerce greater than
either Seattle's or San Francisco's.

DEAR NANCY LEE: :
I am very deeply troubled and
will greatly appreciate your advice.
' I -am- a shl of Bixteen and a
sophomore In high school. I started
to suhoohin the fall but quit about
a month aso. I do not like school
as i am not very popular. My par
ents did not object to my quitting
high school although they would
have liked me to go.. I have al
ways wanted to go to night school.
Which Bhall I do, go to night
school or. o back to hish school,
for two and a bait years?, ,
I want, to be a stenographer or
bookkeeper ,
- Would ib' b& necessary to go to
business college after I finish high
school if I am taking a commercial
;course-tliere?. r, . - , n ,, .
' t - r WILD IRISH ROSK;
WILD IRISH ROSE: Return to
high school and-take the com
mercial course there, or if your
parents will sanction it, take a
complete course at a business col
lege. You know that stenography
has 1 been the means by which
many women have advanced themselves-and
reached executive posi
tions in important concerns. The
business field is broadening daily
in Its scope, and women are fully
alive to the splendid opportunities
that are open to them.. When you
have obtained a position, you could
continue your commercial studies,
or the study of another language
at night school.
DEAR NANCY LEE:
I am a girl, IS. About two
months ago a young man came to
this town on a business trip for
the company where he is employed
I have a car of my own and I al
ways take lilm out In my car as
he hasn't one here. Do you think
this is the right thing to do? M
parents do hot know this, but thev
do not object to him calling at our
home or taking me to the show.
Nancy Lee, do -you believe boys
quiet and have refined ways?
This boy friend seems to like a
girl friend of mine who Is rather
rough and doesn't, care what she
says. She tells him I am old fash
ioned because I don't act like she
docs. This .embarrasses me for her
to make these remarks in com
.Pny. . . BOBBY.
BOBBY: First of all, I would ad
vise you to tell your parents
about your practice of ta"7ng the
young man in your car. Secondly.
I would advise you , to drop tne
friend who makes such disparaging
remarks about you. It the youiiK
man is attracted to that type of
girl, he reveals that his tastes and
yours are not the same. You know-.
It is not necessary for a girl to be
quiet to he refined. I know.many
gtrls who are bright and vivacious.

CHAPTER XXXI.
Grander understood the one-eyed
man.
"What's wrong, Mauger?" he
asked in a friendly tone.
Mauger chuckled mirthfully, dep
recatlngly. "Don't want you should git mad."
he protested, i
"Of course not. What Is it?"
"There's chatter forward," said
Mauger. "They're talking dirt."
Brander's voice fell.
. "What?" . ;
. "Slater was the first Other
nowr Dirt!" -
Brander looked about the deck;
thorn was no one within hearing
"What kind of dirt?" he asked
quietly. - r
Mauger .looked up and grinned
unhappily and apologetically.
"You know," he said. You and
her-
Brander's eyes hardened.
"Thanks, Mauger," he said under
his breath. 4
Brander- went aft with his prnb
lem. - A real problem! Faith be
smirched! He would have cut off
his right hand to prevent It; but
cutting off hi3 right hand would
-ve done no good whatever. He
would have tought the whole c.ew
of the Sally single-handed; but that
would have done even less good
than the other, lou cannot per
manently gag a man by jamming
your list in his mouth. And Bran-
dor knew it; so uhat while he
boiled' with anger and disgust, he
held himself In-check, and tried to
consider what should be done.
He must do someinmg ; but It
was no easy task to determine
what that sometiing was to be.
Brander considered the mem
ters of the crew-trthe foremast
hands. Slatter he knew an evil
-man. Others there were like him.
either from weakness or sheer ma
lignant festering of the soul. B:;t
there were some who were men,
some who were decent; some who
would fight the foul talk, wisely or
unwisely as the ease might be;
some who had eyes to see the
goodness of Faith and: hearts to
trust her.
Brander's task was to help these
men. He could not himself go into
the fo'c's'le and strike; to do so
would only spread the filth of
words abroad. But one thing he
could do. He saw the way.
He must avoid Faith. It would
not be easy since their lives must
lie in the cabin. He must avoid
Faith, avoid speaking to her save
in the most casual way, avoid be
ingTone with her. That much he
must do; and something more. The
crew would be spying on them now,
. watching, .whispering. He must
give them proof that their whispers
were ill-founded.
It was- this word of Mauger'e
that led Brander to a determina
tion which was to threaten him
with ruin in f? end. It was this
word of Mauger's that determined
Brander to :give himself to the
Crew to keep some of them al
ways lsight of him; to force
them, it he could, to see for them
selves thai he had little talk with
Faith and few words with her.
That was what Brander planned to
do. ...
. He worked out the details care
fully. When he was on deck he
must keep in their sight,-and he
must keep himself on deck every
hour of the day save when he went
below for meals. - He decided to
do more.- The nights were warm
and pleasant. He bad a hammock
Bwitng under the boathouse and
planned to sleep there; he laid
open his whole life to their prying
eyes. Let them see for themselves.
He was satisfied with this ar
rangement, at last. It was the best
that could be done. He put it into
Action at once, and he -saw within
three days time that Slatter and
the others had noticed. ;and were
wondering and questioning, . ..
' The men were puzzled; the cabin
was puzzled, and no one was more
puzzled by Brander's " new way . of
Ufo tiian Dan'l Tobey. He was
puzzled, but he was at the same
time elated. For he perceived that
Brander had given him a weapon,
a handle to take hold of. And
Dan'l was not slow to take advan--tage
of it.
They were working westward at
the time, killing whales as they
went. Ahead were the Bay of Is
lands and Port Russell; southward
the Solauder Rock and the Solan
der Grounds, where all the big bull
whales ot the seven seas have a
way of flocking as men flock to;

What was that. Dan'l?"
Dan'l smiled and s;iid it w as
nothing that mattered; but his tone!
suggested that it mattered a erca
deal. Noll sternly bade him speak.
"It was but the foolish talk of
the men. sir." Dan'l said reluctant

ton cues still."
"What manner of foolish talk?"

up, man!"
Dani frowned sorrowfully.-?
"It was just their talk about Mr.
Brander and Faith, sir. Lies, as
I told you. They shut up when I
spoke to them."
"What talk of Brander and my
wife?" Noil asked slowly.
Dan'l shook his head. '
"You can guess it for yourself,
sir. The men have nothing better
to do than chatter and gossip like
old women. We need another
whale to shut their mouths."
What talk?" Noll repeated.
Dan'l smiled..
"J- think too well of Faith and
of Brander to say it for you," he
insisted. -

at him acutely.
"You what?" he asked.
"I don't blame Mr. Brander. you

it's in my mind that, being with

should put a stop to it."
Noll's eyes ranged the deck
Brander was amidships now; and
Mauger was still with him. Mauger
was scraping at the rail, cleaning
away some traces of soot from the
last trying out, under Brander's
eye. They were talking together;
and Noll frowned.
. ."You think Mr. Brander is too
much with the crew?" he said to
Dan'l.
Dan'l shook his head.
"No, not too much. It's as well
for an officer to be on good terms
with the men.- Leastwise, some
think so. I was-never one to do

theless, he's much with them."

The County
By R. R. WOOD . .. ,,
Standing along the Pacific high
way, about a mile north, of Oak
land, Is a granite shaft that marks
the site of the first immigrant ca
bin built In Douglas county. , It
aates back to 1846. three years aft
er the arrival of that memorable
first wogan train in 1843. This
pioneer' home was built by J. A.
Cornwall- and family, who resided
there during the winter of 1846-
1847. These people, accompanied
Dy Israel stoley, a nephew ot Mr.
Cornwall,- -crossed the plains with
the- ill-rated Donner party, who, in
their efforts to reach California.
were caught in the Sierras and win
tered at Donner lake, where sev
eral members of the train died
from stanifatlon and exposure a
year before; Innured to hardships,
the Cornwall family came north in
to uregon a year or two after
reacntng California, and late in the
summer of 1846 built the cabin on
the hill slope where now stands
the monument,- and from this ca
bin the creek flowing below took
its nanie-Cabln creek. During that
first winter starvation again threat
ened the party, and they were sav
ed from rfeal want by the nephew,
Israel Stoley, who proved himself a
good hunter, his ability for bring
ing in plenty or deer and other
game saving their lives.
1 Next time any reader of this lit
tle sketch motors-along the high
way north of Oakland, watch for
the granite monument, and then
drive close to it and stop your car
for a moment--long enough to
read the inscription engraved on
the surface of the imperishable
stone. It Is Interesting to lovers
of the historical setting of the lo
cality and state, and gives : a
glimpse of the times when where
now w inds a modern highway, with
flashing automobiles flitting by .in
an almost endless line, once was
only a trail where patient oxen
drew a creaking wagon in whioh
rode a family who helped to make
possible the develoimient of the
wonderous resources of the L'mp
qua basin, and who led the way for
civilization and privileges of to
day. Among the most interesting col

The Umpqua river applications'
cover an investment of $29,650,000
to develop 188,661 horsepower.- The
Klamath river applications include
171,363 horsepower to be develop
ed at-a cost of $20,600,000.
- First Come, Best Served

prior rights to power sites are es
tablished by- the time clement.

law must begin within a year, per

with the letter but not' the spirit.

stood to be practically saturated
from- Its present plants and it is
also at the present time whole
saling to California.
Time element Prevails
The law gives the state engineer
authority to grant perniits for pow
er development on Oregon streams.
He is required to decide what is
the superior use of the stream. He
places domestic use first, reclama
tion second and then, coordinated,
power, recreation and commercial
use' such as fishing. He does not
have the authority to deny an ap
plication but may refer his judg
ment as -to a superior use to the
state reclamation commission.
This commission does not have
any authority over the engineer as
to which applicant may be grant
ed a power right. He says that un
der the law he can make no dis
tinction between a private interr
est or a municipality, the time
making .the application being the
determining factor. Only the courts
stand above him with authority to
review his decisions on power ap
plications. -
Survey Necessary
. Oregon streams are credited
with ability to develop . between
5.000.000 and 6.000.000 horsepower.
The estimate Is based upon no de
tailed study showing power sites,
feasibility, costs and market. Just
what the people could do about es
tablishing a public power policy if
they so desired, cannot be slated
without a power site survey. Cali
fornia paid about $400,000 for such
a survey, it is said. .
