MKIKK'S WITHDRAWAL The self-efl'acement of governor Julius Meier from the fliibermitorial contest undoubtedly hii.s started a lot of new bloods itching to be among those. upon the political track of the Renublican primaries next May IK. The governor's with drawal sort of lets the bars must have their ears cocked for the least intimation or urg ing, upon the part of friends and, constituents. There are a lot of boys over the state who have long held ambitions to ward the governor's chair. .With Meier definitely out of the way by his own public declaration that he does not choose to run, the track must look a bit more fast and easy to a considerable list of pros pective starters. The present incumbent, among the post .season speculators did not carry heavy odds and was not particularly a favorite but he was still rated high and dan gerous. In his retirement announcement over the air liwt Saturday night the governor gnvc no Indication In which camp he might place his colors. It Is thought in Homo circles that Charlt-a M. Thomas, public utilities com missioner, may be put up on tho Meter forces' entry. Joe Dunne, senator from Ivfultnomah county, Is not expected now to need much urging and has a strong group of backers who are already attempting to talk him up for the preliminary. Sain Brown, Frank Lonergau, W. E. Burke and .Charles Hall are already In tho Republican list, progressive or straight, ,aro chafing hard at tho bits and anxious to be off. Others of the "pro gressive" stables are Bald to bo glooming Hufus Ilolman, state treasurer, whom they figure has an , oven chance to carry tho banner of Oregon p. O. P. Into tho November finals. , Congressman Charles Martin and Willis Mnhoney, fiery Mayor of Kla math FallB, are so far tho only two who are definitely gathering together their forces for tho gubernatorial contest over on the Democratic track. Both of these are strong entries In their field nml, though there Is natur ally also much longing by favorite sons from various bourbon districts over the state, It Is not expected tho lists will bo near as heavy as that of .tho ' entries seeking to carry the Ropxlbllean toga for the governorship into tho November finals. And speaking of Governor Meier, who in the past year particularly has been the butt of much criticism from not only his own party but the wholesale denunciation of , the opposite camp. When one looks at his : regime fairly and .compassionately there can be found much to his credit. Ke member that Governor Meier has held the helm of the state through a period of critical conditions the country over. His path, through circumstances, has been of necessity, far from ail his own making, a stormy one. Jle has made mistakes; yes, but ho has withal steered a good course: by utilizing .often the good business judgment that is his in his, state's behalf. Oregon could be in a far worse state today, embarked upon a course of theoretical and political manipulation, had a' less steadier hand than that of Julius Meier been at the tiller. !

Chapter 47 REUNION IN YUCATAN IF VOICES may exist without vis JMe, corporeal authorship, then these voices were undoubtedly dis embodied. This ethereal dialogue was in Spanish. Oho voice was smoothly cadenced, -toft with the accent of ono usiiiK his native tongue. The other ghost voice was harsher un doubtedly masculine! also it spoke abruptly, extravagantly, accented like a foiulgner's, and laden with bookish polysyllables. The abrupt volcu said. ".Miracles, my young friend, are out of fashion. True, ;ierhapa the Virgin did appear to the poor peon at Guadalupe. Hut that was nearly four hundred years ago. Today as It did then It lulcos two to rnako a miracle. One to perronn It, nud nt least one, cer tainly, to believe it." Tho volco coughed complacently, and continued, "Tlutl's sound phi losophy.

The public Tould put lis tongue In Its chock, It would slyly pull down the corner of its eyo and say that pub licity men should be conllncd to asylums!" Tho voice ended upon a nolo of gi n vance. Tho softer voice chuckled. "You soem hurt, sonor, that people no longer uvq so stupid." "Hut they are!" exclaimed the other voice with emphasis. "I have mutters to wrlle cbout marvelous matters that should astound the world. But will 1 ever bo permitted to wrlto about them as only I can writo about thorn? No! Certainly not! I shall bo told tlrnt they arc . too extraordinary. Nobody would boliovo me!" A gust of wind, a sou ml like a npattorlng cascado of rain obliter ated tho voices for a moment. The blackness was split with a Hare of lightning vividly sustained. Tho figure of a man stirred in a corner of tho dark enclosure. He scorned' half buried In swaths of palm loaves. His clothing, a mass of wet rags, clung to his powerful frame. His hair was black and damp, board-stubble served but to accontuato the strength of his jaws and chin.

When he and Juan had upset tho ceremony on the pyramid top, and had plunged Into thu depths below, thev had been sucked Into the down stream cavern.

The previous evening, on a crude raft they had constructed of drift wood, l hey had paddled out to the well of fresh water that bubbled in the sea. T h t y had discovered Grahame floating his balsa-wood life jacket keeping his head above the water. At Hist they had thought htm drowned but linally they decided he was unconscious from exhaustion. When the downpour had become steady they sought shelter in this abandoned fishing hut. Frank told them his story. He ex plained hr.w vital it waa that they secure help and return to the valley in the Jungle. Dawn found them staring soberly at tho neaped uslies and coals of their (ire. T!.ey had exhausted every possibility that involved the three of thorn returning to tho cenotc-va'lo;-. They realized that they could do nothing by. them selves; they must get outside help somehow. Juan told them that dur ing the rainy season the jungle waa almost impassable to travel afoot. AT THAT comment Frank stared thoughtfully through the door way that was just beginning to show a patch of lightened sky. ; During tho following two days Cirocne kept up a continual rapid lire chatter. The little man, Frank realized, was on the vorgo of a breakdown. Tho hardships he had gone through were unaccustomed ones. Moreover ho could see that the plight of his employer and the fate of the motion picture party was con stantly on his mind and his1 Inane chatter was more to keep his mind from the subject than for personal a muscment. On the morning of the third day, Frank, sitting out at the end of a sandy promontory that jutted Into the sea hea.d tlu sound of a motor. Visibility was bad. Suddenly, In tho north he saw the outline of a plane against the mist. His shout brought his two companions running toward, him. The three danced and waved upon the sand. ' "He's got to see us!" screamed Greene. "It's the mail plane to Coztt inel! There won't be another for days!" Tho plane droned on. Tho three castaways caught up palm fronds and waved them. Greene circled his ragged jacket about his head. The airship kopt to its course. Long after tho ship disappeared into the southern mist they waved and shouted mechanically. Finally exhausted, they sat upon the sand and stared at each other miserably. They were too discouraged to hunt for the conch shell-lish that were exposed at low tide, and which had provided them with scanty nourish ment. Once, miles nt sea, a white; steamer passed north bound. They stared at It hungrily. It was late In tho afternoon when Frank lifted his head. There was an unbelieving look in his eyes. Suddenly Juan Imitated him. Greene scrambled to his feet. "It's Iho plane! Hear it? It's" Tho piano it looked like the one that had parsed In the morning was returning. It was (lying lower and close Inshore. Suddenly It dropped and zoomed. Banking in to ward them the engine gave a series ot staccato roars as if It was sig nalling acknawiedgment to the three wild men who danced upon tho beach. U swerved away back toward the south; then banking again it head ed upwind toward them. Waves spurted beneath its pontoons. With spinning propellers it drifted to a stop a tew yards out from the beach. Frank was already In the water swimming toward tho craft. He hauled himself up over tho pon toons. The helmeted pilot observed him quizzically. "You thee guys have been on my conscience nil afternoon. Hut I waa carrying mail. What's on your mind? Say . . . you speak Kug hah?..." Frank, gasping for breath, strove to answer. The pilot called out In a louder tone, "You hablo . English. Hoinhrc? What's" Greene splashing toward them called. "Keep your shirt on, mis toi. Sure he speaks Fnglish. I in vented It, and taught him how. That's Frank Grahamo a little out of breath!" Tho pilot's Jaw dropped. "Grahame . . . my God!

In Washington Itv Herbert I'luntlmer WASHINGTON It Is the belief in best Informed circles here that President Roosevelt's approval of the Bankhead cotton reduction principle Is more significant than first appears. The proposal, authored by the Bankhead brothers of Alabama, one of whom is In the senate and the other In the house, would apply for the flrat time compulsion in the cot ton acreage reduction campaign. Cotton production would be limit ed to 9, 600.000 ordinary bales under tho bill, Allocated among the states and counties. All in excess of this amount would be taxed 75 per cent of its value at current market prices. There are those who believe that presidential approval of this measure is the first step taken by the admin istration toward Its national land plan now under consideration. The government proposes to spend Immediately $25,000,000 in buying up submarginal land land which Is so unproductive that the crop Is not worth tho effort that goes into it. Official Opinion Divided A longer-range plan Is being studied in detail now by a cabinet commit tee. Built around the Tennessee valley project as a model, the plan embraces flood control, prevention of soli ero sion, decentralization of industry, and the manufacture of electric power. Those who profess to see a tie-up between the national land plan and the Bankhead cotton control pro posal take the position that if the former Is to succeed the government must demonstrate its ability to con trol cotton and other major crops. The Bankhead measure offers the opportunity for such a test. There is wide variance of opinion on tho question of the government applying compulsion to acreage re duction. Secretary Wallace lias been rather cool toward the principle, al though he officially sanctioned the Bankhead bill as representing the majority sentiment among cotton growers. His belief that compulsory reducr tlon would find rough going In, the courts If brought to a test is respon sible for his attitude. He appears to believe the voluntary approach, now being used is about as far as the government can go without raising a question of constitutionality. President To .Try 'I.uek President Roosevelt, however, ap parently is determined to try his well known "luck" once more. It hasn't failed him yet. With his approval of the Bankhead theory, passage of the cotton bill this session seems assured. The house agriculture committee has done al most an about- face. Before the president wrote his letter to Chair man Jones of Texas the attitude of the committee had been one of in difference toward tho bill, if not. actual hostility. Now It appears to be In a receptive mood. India was the original land of sugar cane which now grows In prac tically all quarters of the world.

The legislature appropriated $2,500 for this survey and additional funds were obtained through the C. W.. A. Mr. Allen explained that the commission is going into the Investigation with an open mind, and is primarily after l the cold, hard facts, and has no in tention of favoring any one side in the matter. - Later the commission, after ascer taining all facts possible, will ap proach public utilities to see whether they would be interested in buying 'electricity If it were cheaper for them to purchase instead of manufacturing. Leroy Ore t turn, manager of the E. O. L. & P. Co., was the second speaker, and he stated that the pub lic utilities would be only too glad to purchase power if it could be done so at a cheaper cost than by manu facturing it. and that the companies also would be glad to pass any sav ings on to consumers. He said that from 30 to 35 per cent of the cost of electricity is in the manufactur ing, and that from. 60 to 65 per cent is from distribution and overhead. He Is not sure, those in attendance at the meeting said, that power could be brought into this section from Bonneville at a cheaper cost than It is manufactured here, but expressed the thought that something might be worked out. In connection with service to far mers in this valley, Mr. Orettum said that it was difficult to serve them at present because of the distance between' farms, which resulted ' In prohibitive expense in sohie instances in providing transmission lines, etc. SALMON. 1'KICKS SKT ASTORIA, Ore., March 13 (fl1) A price of 11 cents a pound for Chinook and blueback salmon from the start of the season, May 1, to Aug. 8, and 8 cents a pound from Aug. 8 to the season's plow on Aug.. 25, will be de manded by fishermen of the Colum bia river.
