JUSTICE
Officers of the law searched
lor some trace of the Lindbergh baby and its kidnapers,
It is now several days since the finding of the brutally mur
dered; child. And 'still it is the subject uppermost' in th
minds of the nation.
It is difficult to realize how

Gangsters, and bootleggers
commit crimes like this, since, they are known to have no
respect for life or law. But it was a severe shock to learn
that a respected citizen, John Hughes Curtis, the Virginia
boat builder, took heartless advantage of the Lindbergh's
sotrow by leading officers into a blind alley and hindering
the-machinery of the law. ..''.:.

r ; SPEED IN THE
When this modern age of high-speed automobiles and
craft smiles patronizingly at the "horse and buggy nineties!'
it forgets that the locomotives of 40 years ago established
speed records which still stand. !
. The express train, which in England recently ran 105 '
miles inN100 minutes, broke no records with its average
speed of 63 miles ah hour. A little thumbing of the record
books classes it as merely a good run.
: It was in the days from 1890 to 1905 that the men in
the cab made the world sit up and gasp. And most of the
laurels were won on this side of the Atlantic. A New York
Central train in 1893 averaged 112.5 miles an hour. Eleven
years later a Philadelphia and
115.2 miles an hour. The Plant
shot a train over five miles
minutes, setting a 120-mile mark that still stands.
For long-distance speed records there was a Pennsylvania
run in 1895 of 58.8 miles at an average speed of 76.5 miles
pei-hour and another Pennsy run of 133 miles at an aver
age speed of 75.84 miles an hour. A Lehigh train in 1897
maintained a speed of 80 miles an hour, for 43 miles, and
in' 1897 a Burlington averaged 98.7 miles an hour for 15
miles. The Great Western line in England covered 118
miles in 84 minutes' in 1901.
Railroad progress in the past twenty years has been
mostly in the direction of safety and dependability rather
than speed. In the early days train service was highly
irregular, and accidents were all too frequent. Today late
trains are the exception, and fatal accidents are extremely
rare in spite of the thousands of miles travelled and the
thousands of passengers carried every day.
An airplane is the safest place to be in case of an earth

Butter Market
Showing Heavy
Volume In 1932
PORTLAND, May 18 () Portland
has received moro butter and has
handled a greater volume In the year
to date than for the same period In
wau 'mere has been a very liberal
increase In the receipts from outside
points and a smau decrease is noted
In home churning. The increase In
the arrivals has been more than suf
ficient to make up for the decrease
in the P6rtland manufacture.
Trade In the butter market feels
the effects of the late reaction In the
south which finally carried off the
previous advance here.
Receipts of eggs continue verv lib
eral all through the local territory
and trade wants are being-taken care
of without change In the general
price list. Unattached growers are
still maintaining the lower, point.
itatner good demand is snowing in
the market for live chickens and es
pecially so for tho cheaper-priced
sorts. There Is no change in the gen
eral price list. Most of the supplies
are from Washington.
Demand- for country killed calves is
well maintained here, likewise the
price. Hogs are steady to a trifle
easier in spots,. Lamb market' is
showing a weaker undertcno for any;
mine not tiptop. . :
owing to the dirty appearance and
poor quality in local strawberry ar
rivals to date from the Home sector,
prices are showing a very wide spread
and trading is anything but satisfac
tory to nil concerned.
There was little, if any, material
change in the California strawberry
market here for the day. Most re
tailers purchase them in preference
to the locals although the prices osk-
ea are oeiow those demanded for
home grown.
New white potatoes from the Shaft-
er, Cal., section, aro in very liberal of-
iering and prices are responding with
iurtncr downward swing. Slight
concessions also being made for new
Garnets. Old potatoes are firmer -and
nignor in spots. .: - !r -
'I here is quite a good movement of

To the Editor: ' '
Primary election Is near at hand.
and it Is a regrettable fact that bo
many of us are prone to vote for
some candidate for a minor reason or
personal prejudice against his ODDon-
ents, or In some way lose our vote
rather than vote for our second
choice who has a strong chance of
being nominated and elected.
A case. In point Is the candldacv
of Robert Stanfleld for senator. It
la generally conceded that he has no
chance whatever to be nominated,
and that therefore all those who vote
for him ,aro virtually throwing away
their senatorial vote, since the com
test is undoubtedly between Senator
Steiwer and Clark. It is logical to
believe that no friends of Stanfleld
would for a minute consider support
ing Clark,, but unless they vote for
Steiwer the vote may be so divided as
to nominate- Clark, tho very man
whom they most oppose.
It Is -also a poor time to 'swap
horses,' when Senator Steiwer has
prpven himself such a capable and'
hardworking representative for Ore
gon, and 'has attained such an en
viable position of power and prestige
In the senate that any newcomer
would have to work for years to
equal it; no matter how strong a per
sonality 'he might bo. Steiwer has
worked consistently and persistently
for everything that would benefit
the peoplo of Oregon and the nation
everything that could be done by
any senator for the benefit of every
branch of industry and business in
the state, from the farmers and labor
ing classes to such matters as Irriga
tion and major power projects.
It would be-, merely an apprecia
tion :of his Bplpndld efforts .to re
elect ,him, for . he certainly has earned
It if any man has.. He is- conserva-.
tlve enough to hold the confidence
of business men In general, and pro
gresslve enough -to support all logical
innovations necessary U create bet
ter economic conditions. , W;e- know
hinvand can depend upon him .to do
his utmost for the- .state - and. the
nation. , , ' . 1 "

ports tnat tnings are beginning to
loos ary in tnat section, in speak
ing of the wheat prospects -there, he
reports fair looking stands In most
or the fields, but that the surface
of the ground appears to be quite
badly crusted.. He reports that many
pf ,the farmers there are harrowing
tneir wneat iieias as rapiouy as the
ground Is dry enough to get over
it.' A number of the farmers In this
community are harrowing their wheat
tnis weeK, many oi tne weeds which
have started up this spring are still
quite small and some feel that manv
oi tnem can. oe jciucd by har
rowing now.
Kellv Lourdagln. of Middle valley.
has been working ground and seed
ing-spring grain for Oscar Maxwell
at the U. G. Couch ranch in the
Leap community during : the past

Tho Bowman-Hicks Lumber com
pany has been busy the past few days
getting things ready for establish
ing a small campjn the woods some
six or seven miles from town, which
will be the point, from; where log
ging operations will start in the next
few weeks. It Js reported, that a few
men will probably start cutting logs
at that point during ,the next week
or two. The reports Indicate that
only very limited operations In log
ging will be done by the company
and It is also understood that only
a good grade of pine timber will be
logged out for sawing at. the local
mill during the summer.
A good many men in. this com
munity report that they are unable
to find any work -to speak of yet this
season. , Apparently ,.pub.Xew of the
farmers are 'doing much hiring this
spring and but with little work in
the woods contemplated by operators
during, the 'coming summer many; do
not consider summer prospects verv
encouraging. !
-A number of- small "shipments 'of
baby chicks have arrived here during
tho past week. Reports tell of manv
small orders for delivery during thei
last nan ox Jims montn. Tne excep
tionally low egg prices during the
past several months have-not had a
very- stimulating, effect toward any
marked expansion in the poultry i
flocks of the community. Many of
the chicks which have been ordered i
are of the assorted variety, most of
which, win oe usea ior meat pur
poses.
A ratner heavy frost and freezing
at some points occurred here Friday
night. Little of the garden truck
which is easily damaged by frosts Is
up, however,.' although many of the
fruit trees at various farms in the
community have been blossoming
out rapidly during the past week and
many are concerned regarding the
probable damage which may have
been done to tho fruit.
Sevoral of-the , farmers of the com
munity have been' busy during the
past few days getting their potatoes
planted. It. isr reported that many
are quite short of seed and that
planting of potatoes with many -is-somewhat
less- than has been" the:

Into thinking nobody else Will know
The kind of man I really am
I don't want to dress myself 'wp in sham.
I want to go out with my he'ii prect;
I want to deserve all men's respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to. be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself-and know,
That I'm bluster and bluff Wfd empty show.
I can never hide myself from me,
I see what others may liev r see,
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself, antf so
Whatever happens I want t6 be '
Self-respecting and conscience free.
The above motto has given me the needed encourage
ment to 'carry on' in the right way, through several
critical periods thus far in my life, and just now, when
such grossly misleading stories are being circulated
about my competence, and need to-vork, I am passing
it on to you, in the hope that it will help you to check
back in your mind, and recall whether or not m past
record as your COUNTY TREASURER, has" been
such that you can continue your .support with your
vote for me in the Primaries on Friday.
