Hoiue Trailer Problem
COME west coast cdlloru are
writing worried columns about
what a row of tbom torm the
"trallor jnenaco."
I Tbo menace takes various forms,
Several envision America of tbo
future as a land with Its popula
tion on wheels. The home as it tra
ditional und splendid institution
i is uooinou, uiey say.
Others believe thai transient
relief families will, in somo man
nor, ucquiro cast-oft trailers and
tbat the relief load will roll Jiurc
and there and land for a time
whoro relief policies aro most
lenient.
With the ubovo listed worries
this newspaper bus no great con
cern. Such ideas and fears havo
to do with whut may or may not
happen lit the future On tho
thooi-y that "sufficient unto the
day are tho evils thereof," tho
problems to cousidor uro those
which aro now with us.
It you travel tho highways or
live or work on a highway street
you have notlcod that the number
. of curs carrying house trullers ' is
definitely lncreuslug. Cltlos like
Koseburg with liniltod down-town
areas aud wbero tho parkllng prob
lem without considering trullciB is
sorlous, must shortly . tueklo tho
question of what to do about per
milting car und Uouse-trallor park-
- ins in the down town stroots.
Wo must not pluco restrictions
upon tho trallor tourist that will
cuuso hlru to shun our city. That
would be foolish. Tho problem
will require careful study. It
would bo a good idea for a com
mlttoo of tho city council to begin
working on It.
How to Run a Newspaper
IT SHOULD occasion no surprise
that Dr. Cioorgo Uullup and 11. L.
Moucken told tho American So
cloty of NcwBpupor Kdltors at
Washington (but chungos should
bo mado In their publications.
There 11 u vor has boon unanimity
on tho conduct and contents of a
nowspaper. In a froo country tho
press cannot ho standardized or
jammed into a fixed mold. If you
doubt that, consider this. tact: In
tho United Slutou uro about 14,000
newspapers, 2100 daily, unit no two
them exactly uliko, in typography,
format or contouls news, odi-
turlul or miscellany.
With a froo press uudor tho con
stitution, unyono is at liberty tn
start and run a nowsiuuior, so long
us his money lusts, and take his
guess al what the public wants.
Many would-bo publishers have
puld dourly In learn that the con
stitutional guuruiity of froo press
doon not meun that pilntiirs, proas-
men, reporters and other employes

Searching the Grounds

slumped Into u chnlr, took tho cof
fee Guy handed him, and growled
"O.K." In a tone tlmt made it quite
clear that anyone who- wanted to
argue about unythlng would be ac
commodated Immediately.
Lighting a clguroUo, tho Skipper
contributed, "Mamiu s breakfast
ing upstairs. She'll bo down later."
And silence descended upon the
dining room.
For the space of about five min
utes wo crunched bacon und con
sumed coffee without incident, llig
gins, looking rulher seedy, appear
ed with fresh toast, opened his
mouth to ask about Michael, dis
creetly closed ft again, and took
himself off. The Skipper smok-
od furiously, aud the rest of us
kept our eyes on our plutes. Then,
monotonously and with Irritating
forco, tlay's fingers begun a steady
tattoo on tho tublecloth. At least
two sets of nerves promptly begun
to act up ugaiu. Michael's cup
wont down with a bung thut bath
ed tho surrounding territory in
coffee.
"Pamn It, Guy, quit tlmt, can't

lieforo 1 could get In my two
touts' worth of sunshine, the Skip
per Interposed. "lOusy, kids! Let's
talk this over."
That being the ono thing wo all
hud In mind, wo lapsed into si
lence. Tho Skipper smiled.
"VYe might as well look it in Iho
face. These storms always last al
leust three days, which means that
we must stick togelhor or go mad.
1 hero s been a tragic accideul
which we must certainly explain to
the satisfaction of everyone, if
we're to keep from each other's
throats not to mention J tide's
family or the Incnl pnlicu.'
Michael was breathing so fast
and so heavily thai 1 could dis
tinctly hear him across the table.
l tio SKlpper walled lor someone
to speak. No one did. She sighed,
"Obviously there are two pos
sibilities, .hide was killed eillter
accidentally or intentionally, and
in eillter case by some member of
this household. If it was incident

Another puum this time a
breathless one.
Then we shall have to estab
lish that fact too." concluded the
Skipper.
Miclmel's voice was hoarse,
what can we do?"
I answered him with mom

"For

only logical answer."
Mieliuel shut me n peculiar look.
"Why not let It res!-."' he demand
ed. "You know damn well tlmt
there's no one out there, .lim We
can't help .hid" now. Old I'oatev
would give us u fake certificate (f
the Skipper nsked him, nnd we
could say that she'd fallen off the

I had known Michael since w e
weio I", but 1 had never heard
him make such a proposal. Neil It
er had (Jay. She gasped in iiiuhko
meat. Once more tho Skipper
climbed into the breach.
"Michael, don't bo ridiculous. Ac
cidents don't need hushing up. And
if It's not an accident. Judo's par
ents aud we, her frlendi'. have a
right to know it. Aud no right to
let a deliberate murderer remain
at largo."
Grasping at a Straw t
Out of the numbness his speech
had produced In my head camo an
Idea. Mike thought the Skipper
was guilty! Wild elephants could
never have dragged that sugges
tion from him otherwise. And
there she sal, insisting thut we In
vestigate. 1 grasped at a feeble
struw.
"Mike! The footprints! The foot
prints on tho tennis courts. There
must be someono out there. We'd
have noticed the clay on anyone's
feet In the house."
Michael's eyes wore fur. uwuy.
"Drop it, I say. For God's suke,
Jim, what good will it do? I tell
you there's no one there. It just
keeps things boiling to pretend
there is."
"There must be!" Gay was on
her feet. "Miko, don't be a sap.
These grounds must be searched,
and if you won't go with Jimmie,
I will and so will William."
;"And so will I," said tho Skipper,
"and so will Michael!"
Michael looked at her, a long
look that to. savo my neck I could
not decipher. "All right, Skipper,"
ho said ul last.
We took all sorts of precautions,
plenty of brandy, und iligglns' re
volver. With the exception of
Cook aud Annie, we ull assembled
in the library and none of us look
ed cheerful.
My owii stuto of mind was a bad
jumble. My thoughts were whirl
ing from .hide und the past to the
ghastly reality of the present,
spurred on by a certain insistent
suspicion thai made my blood run
cold. Action of any sort was a
godsend. Tho probability of ac
complishing anything wus another
matter. 1 should havo preferred
leaving both Cay and the Skipper
tn the house, but there wus a glint
In tho former's eyes that invited
no interference and 1 had noyor
giveu tho Skipper un order itr hi'y
1 1 to. Furthermore, I wasn't count
ing on Michael for anything. M.
Furriugtou voiced my feeling to
tho letter.
"It strikes me, Uurbura, that you
aud Grace will be moro in the way
than anything else. And Michael
has no business out of bed. 1
should think that .lames aud Wil
liam would gel along much better
alone.'
Gay's chin came up with a Jerk
and I braced myself for the deluge,
hut tho Skipper spoke before it
could get started.
"Two people can't seurch these
grounds, Martha, liny and I can
take care of ourselves, und 1 think
Michael's mind will be easier if
he goes. He's well wrupped up.
Pon't fuss."
"lliH'haru, I will not allow ll."
Her voice wns rising. Unless 1
missed my guess, she was warming
lor a scene and it was going to
lie a corker. "I absolutely in
sist"
Hut Michael's patience snapped.
He whirled "on M. Fnrringtnn.
Kot, Aunt Martha! All the ser
vants are here but William, and
tlie doors aud windows are locked.
His words were rude, and his
manner ruder. Hut M. Farringtnn
amazed us. Tim explosion for
which we breathlessly waited
novel came.
"Very well, my dear," she said
piietly. I could havo knocked
Mike down with pleasure.
Footprints Still There
Wo went out the west door from
Hie game-loom, a wot. cold wind
howling up to meet us. Since 1 hint
suggested the expedition, it was
more or less up lo nie to engtiirer
it. .Accordingly. I stationed Wil
liam halfway between the edge ef
the bin I r and the house, with Mi
chael aud Gay at intervals along
the drive. That left the grounds
livided into lour sections. I took
the Skipper with me. Heglnuiim
the edge of the bluff to the
it, w e went dow n low ai d the
biMilhonse. In one way and one
only were wo better off than on
the previous night. At least II
was now possible o seo move Hum
10 feet ahead of you.
Water rttill lapped the fnnner
fide of the Unlhotise steivs. A
large section ol the pier had wash-
l away and the boat house was
completely flooded. Wo went up
aloufi the path to tho courts which
wo scruUuUed thoroughly.
The footprints were still there.
They run clear across tho courts
to the drive, seeming to start from
the rocks just above us. It was
impossible to tell how large had
been the foot thut had left those
prints or in what direction they
had been heading. They were just
shallow impressions in soft clay,
lather like the marks left by walk
ing across a melting sheet of ice.
The wind was still at our backs.
Up the steep and slippery rocks
we scrambled, the Skipper dis
daining my help. The beaches be
low us were completely covered
with thrashing wuter that boiled
up into our faces. Silently I point
ed to the scene of Michael's dis
aster and the Skipper nodded. We
went down cautiously, separated
at the foot of the rocks, and com
passed tho remaining section of
the lawn between us. Nothing. A
short distance up the drive stood
Gay, looking like a drowned rat,
She waved, but only half-heartedly.
We went up the drive toward the
stable, the wind in our fuces und
the rain cutting like lashes of n
whip. With every stop the haunt
ing thought thut J-ude might huve
lain for a long time wounded and
still conscious in that fiendish
whirlwind followed me. It was
slow progress.
Tho east beach wus completely
flooded. By following the drive, we
got a clear view both of the sec
tion of luwn between us aud the
house and of the soction between
us and the beach. I stationed the
Skipper at the corner of the gar
uge ,and went laboriously around
both it and the stable, slipping aud
sliding along on my hands and
knees most of the way. Hounding
the corner of the stable in safety,
I could seo the solid figure of Wil
liam far down the bluff whore 1
had Btutionod him. And between
us nothing.
In front of the stable the Skipper
joined me. Both it and the garage
were securoly padlocked. It seeniod
to me that lo seurch either of
those buildings would be a tacit
admission of disbelief in her alibi.
I licsituted, but not so tho Skip
per. Producing a koy, she unlock
ed the stable. Without a word I
followed her Inside.

RECORD INFLUX OF
Oregon Prepares Welcome
as FoIIow-Up On Wide
Publicity Spread.
That Orecon mar well be readv
to entertain the largest number ot
visitors ever within her borders
in a year is the fact that the trav
el 'and Information department of
the urogon state highway commis
sion hus received since Junuary 1
neurly 20,000 inquiries for infor
mation on the state. Virtually all
of these requests aro for data on
scenic and recreatloiml attractions
of the state.
Those writing for this type of In- i
formation are supplied with illus
trated folders covering the out
standing attractions of the state.
maps and letter information.
Whero an Inquirer oxpresses an
interest in some particular section
of the stute, pamphlets covering
that specific section are used to
tugment the general booklets.
Booklets Being Prepared
Tho travel and information de
partment of the commission has
two primary booklets at work now.
one covering the state from the
standpoint of its general attrac
tions und the other dealing specifi
cally with fishing. It Is now pre
paring one covering exceptionally
interesting geologic areas aud wild
flowers and shrubbery of the slate.
Millions of Americans aud Cana
dians are being told of the state's
varied and magnificent attractions.
Magazines, newspapers and radio
iire being used to reach the poten
tial 1937 vacationists of the en
tire United States and western
Canada.
In addition to reaching prospec
tive 'visitors through advertising,
the travel department arranges for
distribution of Oregon literature
through more than 1,000 travel in
formation bureaus throughout the
United States and Cunuda. Large
eye catching posters currying a
group of Oregon scenic views have
been placed in hundreds of tour
and travel bureaus throughout the
country.
Incoming Traffic Mounts
Notwithstanding Iho unfavor
able weather prevailing through
the early months of li)Il7, non
rosidont traffic into the state,
based on motor registrations kept
by tho secretary of state, showed
a gain of more than 25 per cent.
The travel department of the high
way commission and other agen
cies in the field of truvel promo
tion expect 1937 to show a gain of
around 40 per cent over 1936,
which means the breaking of an
other record in travel to Oregon
aud in the amount of money left
in tho state by visitors.
Visitors who cume by private au
tomobile last year spent not less
than SIS.OOO.UOD, according to sur
veys carried out by the- highway
dopartment. They contributed ap
proximately $750,000 to the gaso
line tax fund of the stute, from
which Oregon's highways are built
and maintained.

Tlicrc arc actually thousands of brands of gaso
line in the nation . . . but only one has proved
its mileage in such a competitive event as the fa
mous Gilmorc-Yoscmitc Run . . . that's Red Lion!
This epic test of mileage was not conducted under
madc-to-order conditions . . . but on the cetdest day
in 15 years . . . over a route that required two slip
pery climbs to more than 4,000 feet . . . and under
rigid, official supervision.
Mere is actual proof Red Lion is the most economi
cal gasoline for your car. And remember ... it
costs not a penny more to use the gasoline that
has been mileage proven.

We muy resent It and., fight
against it, as we often' do in
uur minds at least, but 4t ,rp-
mains forever and eteruully
true, that Jesus wus the most
upsetting and altogether unor
thodox teacher thut any age lias
ever known. His own day was
sure ot that and even after all
these years the most of us re
sent His radicalism fiercely at
times und quite refuse to ac
cept His plain teaching in uny
practical way. A kingdom
founded on love und service,
who ever heard of such an im
possible proposition as thut?
We say It with our lives, if we
do not say it with our words.
Help us, O God, to have the
5 race and courage to believe the
teaching of our Lord and Mus
ter, Jesus Christ. And may wo
try to live out His truth from
day to day. Amen.

APPROVES CARSON'S STAND
ON BORDER INSPECTION
Editor News-Koview: A news Item
head-lined "Bug Inspectors Ruin
Prize Fruit" is before me and con
tributes another reason why one in
Oregon should "back up" Mayor
Carson in his stand toward the
state of California. - We do havo
fruit pests in Oregon and they may
have come to us from foreign coun
tries, but if so they havo come via
California. i - Hj
This article before me tolls tho
story. May I quote the words ot
witnesses at the line below Ash
land where fancy Hood River ap
ples were inspected (?) "more
thorough than scientific."
"The apples had been individual
ly wrapped und beautifully packed
in boxs, every box on that truclc
was opened, every apple taken out
and every wrapping removed. The
wrappings were discarded into a
carton beside the two inspectors,
Tho unwrapped apples were
thrown, not hyd, back in their orig
inal boxes . until they piled high.
Thou other boxes wero Jammed on
lop."
The apples wore unfit tor mar
ket and . the Hood River name
which is indicative of finest qual
ity, lost.
If Oregon products must bo so
treated and Oregon fruit destroy
ed, if California does not stand for
reciprocity iu trade with Oregon,
why should not Oregon reciprocate
the other way and let California
fruit In particular alou eand avoid
the state in general?
California is not a separate sov
ereignly, but an Integral part of
this U. S. A. a forty-eighth part
of a great country.- ,y
Tliia is just ono of ' many in
stuiiccs and to mo It seems time
for Oregon to uphold her own dig
nity und rights. Why not buy
goods from other stutos where our
home markets, canneries and mills
are not able to supply our demands
till California realizes we aro 'a sis
ter stute and not an alien natiou?
