A meeting of the law makers Is supposed to last 40 days, but for a number of years now the time has gone far be yond that. The 1939 meeting lasted 66 days. The one Just end ed held through 62 days. Appar ently the business of fixing up new laws for the people of the state of Oregon requires a lot more time than it once did. It is too soon to properly cvaluato tho work of the session Just ended. The Oregon unem p 1 o y m c n t compensation law which was the subject of dispute for tho last two weoks, came through tho session with very lit tle change. Toward the end it became apparent that each side was so strong that neither could prevail over the other. The re sult was what might be termed a tie. The odltor of this newspaper was assigned to the seat In the senate left vacant by the untime ly passing of the late Senator C. W. Clark. As we understand the appointment It serves merely to provide Douglas county with rep resentation in the senate until a new senator is elected by vote of the people at the next general election. Should there be a spe cial session between now and the time of. the regular session In 1913, the appointed senator will serve. Otherwise tho term of service was only for closing hours ot the session last Satur day. Hut In filling tho vacancy, the county court let It be known to the state senate that this county wants representation in that body that the people of this area want a voice in law-making oven though the vacancy would have existed only a short time. As soon as wc get our breath after the hurry and excitement experienced since 10 o clock Sat urday morning when the appoint ment was received, there will be printed In this column some ob servations ot a newspaperman who hail a seal, inside Instead of outside the rail, at a legislative session, Apparently iiev.:;,i.ipcr people do not go In for thai sort ol thing very much and doubtless they are right. No one could remember when there had been a newspa per person In the slate senate before--at least It has been a long time. But the "birds eye" glimpse wu had was mighly interesting and some of the highlights ot the closing hours of the session will be noted in this column the next day or so. Editorial on New (Continued from PK 1.) signs fail, wo shall have to give serious consideration to I he trans imitation Job. That Is when Ihe iritis will arise. C PEAKING of convoying, there Is nothing new on Admiral Harlan's threat to convoy French food ships with the French navy If Britain refuses to relax the blockade enough to relieve French hunger. We may be quite sine, lam- over, that we haven't hoard the last ol It. What Darlan is saying to the British (and, of course, to US now that the lease-lend bill is law) is this: 'If you don't feed us, you may have to FIGHT US." AMONG today's dispatches Is " an Inconspicuous one assert ing that the British too are build ing invasion barges armored, fast, designed to carry 50 men and with portholes in front for 18 quick-firing cannon. Here is another dispatch from Berlin: "German military authorities in the Netherlands announced today that 15 persons convicted of membership in 'terror, sabo tage and espionage organizations' were executed by a firing squad yesterday." OUT the two together. Suppose the British sooner or later in vade the continent. : The hatreds aroused by the German conquerors (as evidenc ed by these Dutch executions) will provide HELPERS for the invading British armies on every hand. That is one of the real dang ers Hitler hus to face.

"Why, uh, sort of square, Dr. York. Roped up, With a rope handle. Gawky thing to tie on. Heavy, too. Had to fasten it on her saddle horn. But she don't mean no harm.

Down trail ahorse 10 minutes later, Wesley told himself that he was being foolish again. Why had he acted on impulse to fol low Lona Montoya a second time? What business was this of his? True ,the secret cache In Rainbow canyon needed explain ing, but He refused to consider it all "none of his business." Too many mysterious things had come to his attention of late. As he rode he sort of recapitulated them again. They still didn't dovetail but they held a mount ing Importance In his mind, In dividually and collectively. To the group of unexplained events now was the matter of last night's -fie that, also, was a mystery. It had no logical re lationship with Lona's strange doings, or wi(h Andre Girar deau's meeting Lona in clandes tine fashion, or with Andre's ap parent love making to Ronica, or with the five Americanized Japanese Ronica had helped cap ture in strange gun battle. These things had no earthly connection at ail, that he could see. And ye t strange incidents have a habit of collecting in a fellow's mind; they just seemed ,to congregate in Wesley's con sciousness, and he mulled them around there. Before he left his friend Tip hq had, with careful casualness, borrowed Tip's pistol and his rifle as well. Tip had joshed him, but Wes explained that Lona Montoya liked to shoot and they just might get in some prac tice cracking at jackrabbits and gophers and prairie marmots. He took the rifle from its sad dle scabbard now, to inspect it. It was a powerful thing which Tin used to get deer and bear in fall. Wes saw that it was load ed. A quick flip of the wrist and he could have it in action. The pistol was a type more fa miliar to him. It was a new high powered automatic, shooting .22 calibre long-rifle shells. The cartridge clip in the handle held 10 rounds but the barrel was empty. Holding the handle in his left hand, he jerked back the carriage with his right thumb and forefinger, thus pumping the first cartridge into chamber, ready to fire. Only a slight trig ger squeeze was necessary now, He flipped the little safety lever Into shape, and reholstered. He had no Idea what he ex pected to do with these guns. He had just wanted them. Some thing told him that the secret cache in Rainbow had been put there by men who would kill on the slightest provocation, The fact that tho United States army was known to be planning bombing tests in that area, and that- a landing field had been set aside on the desert for temporary army use," all 'seemed to add up to something. 'Maybe, with that cache of cloth ling and canteens and guns, that i powerful two-way radio outfit He didn't draw any pat conclu sions. He just rode on. Soon ho had to be extra cautious lest I he ride too fast and overtake jLona. If Lona were riding with a bulky box tied to her saddle, I she wouldn't be riding very fast, I he reflected. And what, come to 'think of it was in her box? Something to add to the secret cache? What would it be? Plain curiosity, driven by a mounting sense of responsibil ity in view of all that he knew, caused Wesley finally to plan a definite spying a((empt on Lona. Again, said he, he would hide his horse before entering the canyon, then conceal himself and watch for her on foot. When she left the canyon cave, and when any other person with her there departed, he would go again lo the cave and investi gate. He felt this was the very least he should do. And the safest. He had no more than reached that decision, however, when a motion caution his alert eye. The motion was not on the ground, not amid the Spanish daggers or the mesquite trees or tile cacti or the rocks, but was an extraordinary whirling black spot that lifted up into the sky Floor Sanding and Refinishing Old Floors Made Llka New CHAS.

Hovering near the ground, maneuvering like some gigantic hummingbird dipping into this blossom and that, the ship drop ped to earth a half mile ahead, stayed a minute or two, rose al most straight up, then dropped down near him. This time, though, It did not touch earth. Apparently the two men in it recognized him, for they just waved a greeting and lifted on away, its queer hori zontal propeller whirring.
