How the Little Girl and
ner uosr Made
a Long Trip Together
She Began to Enjoy the Sail
ADDT," said Jack, "did we ever have a big flood In this country like
Noah's flood r i ,.-
"Maybe," said daddy, "but if we did have one It was so long
ago that nobody remembers it But
and some pretty big ones. I'll tell you a story about a flood if you like."
8o Evelyn and Jack listened to the story of the little girl and the dog who
took a long trip together.
"Once upon a time," began daddy, "there was a little girl who lived on a
farm near a river. It was a nice, quiet, gentle river most of the time, but in
the springtime after the snow melted It rose and became noisy and dangerous.
When It became very high it carried off people and house and animals. ;
. , "This little girl of whom I am telling you had a big dog for a pet. She
loved the dog, and he was very fond of her."
"What was the little girl's name, daddy r asked Evelyn. ' " '
"I am not sure," said daddy, "but I think It was Ruth. Well, Ruth had
been told by her mother never to go too near to the river bank, for her mother
was afraid she might fall in. This time, however, the flood came so quickly
and rose so fast and so high that Ruth and her dog were carried away, even

tot get back home and had to climb on a big log that was near the river bank.
Then the big log, with Ruth and her dog sitting on it, was carried away by
the water.
"Luckily for Ruth and the dog the log was a very big one. and there was
a place where a branch bad been cut off that gave them a comfortable seat
"For miles and miles the big log, with Ruth and the dog, sailed down the
river. At first the little girl was afraid, but after awhile she began to enjoy
the sail. It was quite cold, but she was warmly dressed, and the body of the
dog nett to her helped to keep her warm.
"After awhile Ruth began to get sleepy. She had left her home a long
way behind her, and she was hungry and tired, so she fell aBleep. She slept
a long time, it seemed, and when she awoke where do you think she found
herself?"
"At home!" said Evelyn. " -
"You guessed right," Bald daddy. "You see, when her father and mother
missed Ruth they thought that she must have been carried on by the flood.
So her father got into a boat and rowed and rowed until he saw the big log
with something white and something black on it When he came up to it and
saw that it was his little girl, safe, you may be sure he was very happy."

Alicel, Ore., June 26, 1910 Editor
Observer I notice in your issue of
Friday your comments upon tha Mor
nson escneat case ,aud the na.ry
vou gave the District Attorney for
his great service to the tax payers
of Union county. Did it ever occur
to you while considering tW case
that the tax payers of Union 'co inly
have been milked to a finish' for
something that can In no way benefit
menu I am. told that a ve.y i.iw
estimate of the cost of holding Cir
cuit Court to the tax payers Is '$125
per day. The two trials In this" case
consumed sixteen days and the (ax
payers have paid $2000 on this item
alone. If the state owns the land in
dispute it. is not , subject to taation
and the county has lost four yoars
taxes on this property, which wan
another $2000 of loss. I understand
the law does not allow the 9tu to
pay any costs on escheating prop
erty but in this case the Dlstrl .t At
torney certified the expense bll!s tf
the state to the County Com and
Ud the County Court pay the snmc
out of the County Treasury. In this
way making the t.nx payers sf the
county pay the coals to taking prop
erty away from other tax payers of
; the county, and giving the san to
the State School Fund. Our nUoiner
finally brought a; suit agatnat tae
, County Court and enjoined the Coun
t Court from paying any uvjre of
these bills out of the County Treas
ury. The District Attorney fought
hard to have this Injunction dUsolved
so that he could get five or six hun
dred dollars more out of the County
I Treasury but Judge Knowles refused 1
to - dissolve the injunction and the
tax payers have been protected to
that extent If the District Attorney
la finally successful and succeeds In
taking this property away from the
rightful owners and giving It to the
school fund what advantage will Un
ion county get? Probably one half
of the property will first he taken
in paying the" costs of the litigation
and the other half will be divided
among the counties in proportion to
the number of school children, thus
Multnomah county will get at least
one third and all the counties would
get their share and the amount that
would finally come to , the school
children of Union county would not
amount, to ten per cent of what Union
county has already paid out In costs,
l am a tax payer of, Union county and
would like for other tax payers to
understand this matter and to under
stand that the interest of the tax pay
er has not been considered in this
litigation Respectfully yours, ;
, p. a. Mcdonald.
Mr. McDonald has not caught the
spirit of the Observer's remarks re-1
gardlng the escheat case. We did
hot attempt to speak of the merits of
the case, and our remarks relative
to the public prosecutor were not in
the nature of flatt y but were made
from an unbiased observation of a
man who is able to accomplish re
sults. . ;;. . '.. ' . v
. The side of the case that Prosecu
tor Ivanhoe represented la decidedly
unpopular aud he was, compelled un
der the express direction of the gov
ernor to bring suit We believe that
ninety out of every hundred cltliens
of Union county think this escheat
case is a miscarriage of Justice. But
two Juries, chosen from the people
where this opinio largely prevails
nave passed on the matter and de
cided for the state, evidently because
the finding of fact when applied to
the law would not permit them to do
otherwise. ''; .
It is unfortunate that our statutes
require this Sort of prosecution .and
It is doubly unfortunate that a gov
ernor such as George E. Chamberlain
was, saw fit to pull this incident into
court simply because on purely legal
grounds It appeared the state alone
could acquire title and come into le
gal possession of property , which seem
ingly belongs to individuals, accord
ing to the popular view of matters. ;
Again , we say It is not a question
of the case's merits that caused us to
write the editorial mentioned, but it
was the ability shown by the prose
cuting attorney, when ordered by; the
governor to proceed in a case that
he, along with the general public of
Union county, knew to be unpopular
and the results that he, as an attor
ney, achieved. ;

King and hi. Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the
urprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and
taking the turns with hla car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. in
the five mile handicap. Oldfleld drove his Knox racer to the utmost
hut the handicap wag too strong and he could not get the lead away
from King. Not only In the handicap events did King and his Max
