California, There they wore soon
to be known for their love of rich
food and drink and their ability to
hang on to their findings in spile
of their fastidious desires in u
world where gold wus scattered
like chaff to the four winds.
Tho California gold -rush proved

there were other Industries than
the fur business which had occu

resume ut u much greater rate
than ever before, the gold seeking
Oregunluns were to como back
from tho gold country with money
In their jeans und Oregon wus to

The period of tho Oregon lerri
toiy was a time of tremendous ex
pansion. The pioneers, most of

bowls," got back on their feet, the
well organi.ed government troops

IN a sincere and nonpartisan ef

Independently of their normal

It 18 a noble undertaking, one
that la going to cause Iota of head
aches before the mem bora have
concluded their studies. Hut the
group ought not consist merely of
50 congressmen, working In their
Mpure tlmo. Thorn should be 536

gress seriously concerned with
the one problem thut toduy threat
ens American security, ruemploy-
inent affects every person In tho
couhtry. It Is only logical that all
the senators und representatives
should concentrate on doing some
thing about it.
A SI UK from the relief they furn-
lsh to able-bodied young men,
tho CC'C camps are providing an
other little known service by help
ing to reduce illiteracy.
The boys don't need to learn to
read und write If they don't want
to, but since the CC'C was started,
more than 80,000 of them have.
The percentage of illiteracy In tho
camps I" approxiimuely consistent
wtlh that of the nation In general.
Last year, out of 300,000 lads, 8500
could neither read nor write
about 2.6 per cent.
The CCC camps may provide the
last opportunity any educational
agency has of getting ut these
boys, if they haveji't learned by tho
tlmo they're discharged, they prob
ably never will. The schooling Is
a worth-while adjunct of a program
that has kept millions of restless
ambitious young fellows a way from
tho temptations of crime.

WoiiMm of lioselmrg are to be
congratulated upon their outer
prise in presenting a
Spring Style show In
Itoseburg. They tie
serve praise also for
their other activities,
but the show was a
honey.
I didn't see many
young men attend

find out what they missed, I'd like
to know about II.
Fur one tiling, tliey missed see
ing how really beautiful Itoseburg
girls can be when they're all tog
ged out in their best bib and tuck
er; and believe me. Itoseburg gals
are pretlter than those from any

than would a sarong. That may be
a deterring factor In'a young man's
ent hllsiasin for Ihe style show; but
I doubt it. My observation has
been that if tile y. in. likes u girl,
he never gives a thought to the
problem of fittingly cloililng her,
the ilei-u fool.
Lots of styles were shown last
night and, incidentally, I found
out what a "peasant's" costume
was. If a peasant really ever suc
ceeded in paying for that costume
as shown, he was no peasant lie
was cither a plutocrat, or a magi
cian.
The thing which struck me most
forcibly in ibis show, was the seu-
sibieness of the many and various
iiiiiulierH. They not only looked
pretty, but they appeared lo be
serviceable and coiulorlnble.

Within an hour. Dan's loi.K
roadster was purring along the
highway to Albany. Tho cold
night air cleared Ills belllddleil
brain as he drove through the
darkness. He bad but one Idea
to get lo .Mario as soon as possible.
Dan Donovan and Tummy Uyan
turned obviously unfriendly backs
on each other ut the Albuny docks.
Thev had been waiting since early
Friday morning for tile La 1'orle
barge. Molly, to dock. It was now
id o'clock anil the New liorK tug.

Tummy reached for the mega
phone the dockinaster held.
"Ili-yu, Molly," lie bellowed.
No answer.
Without saying a word, Han took
tllu megap'iono from Tommys
hands. "Hi-yu. Molly,' he yelled.
Still no ans-er.
"Them bnrge captains must be
deef and dumb," volunteered the
dockinaster. He sUU'ed at Dan's
tuxedo. "Keep yer shirt on and

philosophical advice, paced ner

Tommy,

he could carry Mario off. Well,

His assurance changed lo disap
poiiitment. when lie saw that the
Molly was not among the barges
being shoved in by the little lug
Hack in New York for all 1
know. Least she slatted in thut
diriH-tion.'
Tommy wasted no further words
on the dockinaster or lugho-jt cap
tain. Jumping Into his truck, he
headed for the Albany Post road.
Dan waited for the tug lo come
abreast of the docks. "Where do
you think the Molly is now?" he

"'Kniit Kmivlen Dnvvil if she

Dan was in his roadster and
yliiftiiiK the gears before the man
bad all the words ou t of h is
mouth.
"There's a road that follows the
Hudson all (lie way down, isn't
there?" he cried to the dockninw
ter. "Yes. sir. You can't miss it if

Luckily for Pan's life, the high
way was piacttcaliy clear of traflic

"Hack again. I see," commented
ihe hot doir man. as Dan climbed

Dan grinned, too relieved lo see

Hut Dan didn't answer. He was

on the dock near the Molly,
intruded by tho noise he made as

clothes, they stared silently.
"Nobody home," u sinull boy
