It was In following Ina latter course last Sunday that R. M. Gray, clothier, nature lover and sportsman, found what he calls the most beautiful spot on the North American continent. Air. Gray for the past eight years svery Sunday. later and bummer, tfprlng and Au tumn, baa made a trip In his seven pasaenaer Peerless to some stream or trail within easy motoring distance of Portland. He saya he has visited practically every spot within a radius of ie rollee of Portland and was per f-ctly content with them all until last Xunday. when he discovered a stream far aupertor to any he has ever seen. At S o'clock In the morning Mr. Gray. with Major Sherwood, of the United States Army, aad four of his sm ploye. A- Brown. Morris Silver, George Toshlda and Charles R. Welch the latter with his wife and kodak, started for the Columbia River High way, bent on hitting a good fishing stream. The party continued out the scenic road aa far as the Oiling station half way between Chanticleer Inn ann Crown Point, where they turned off onto the dirt mad leading up the hill to the right of that place. They followed the main road about Ave miles, taking the right fork where two roads branch and the left fork around a hill at the third division of the driveway. Trail Followed Fee. The machine continued on thla road until it arrived at a spot where an old unused road branched off to the right. The car was parked about yards up thla road and the, party proceeded to follow the trail on foot. "The road to this point." saya air. Gray, "Is la exceptionally good condl lion for a dirt bottom. "After we had hiked a short distance aloag the unused road w came to a place where, for Sea yards, the trail had been completely obliterated by a storm. Beyond the washout It c tinned la good condition again." Mr. Gray and his party did not follow the trail to Its extremity, but. hearing the roar of water, set off down a cliff- liko slope. The stream at the bottom of the bill la called Gordon Creek. In describing It sir. Gray said: "I have traveled all through Canada, the Can. dian and American Rockies and the Grand Canyon, but the scenes along Gordon Creek surpass anything I have arer seen."

BT TV. B. SHIVELiT, Chairman Legal Committee of Portland Keaity ioara. Can a broker represent both the sel ler and purchaser In the sale of real estate and collect a commission from both? This question has been discussed by the Supreme Court of Oregon upon several occasions and the circumstances outlined under which the broker's dou ble employment is allowable. The rule Is that If one employs a broker or ac Also, the operations of life Insurance companies are so carefully eaf e-guardea by th,e state laws and so rigidly su pervised by state officials that you need have no fear but that the pro visions of your policy contract will be fulfilled to the very letter. The apologetic attitude of the agent is probably due to the fact that he is a new man and that life insurance is the most difficult of all branches of salesmanship. The average life insur ance salesman out of an innumerable number of calls a day, generally suc ceeds in securing five interviews, mak ing 130, actual Interviews a month, and out of this 130 interviews a month he possibly writes nine cases of insurance. From this it is easy to be seen that the great majority of bis calls are futile. But there is one case on record, and a remarkable one at that, where a man refused an honor which kings might cepts his services with knowledge of I covet simply because he loved the bust- his employment by another the written agreement to pay commission can be enforced, if the transaction is other wise fair and honorable. In the case of Jameson vs. Coldwell, 23 Ore. 144, 31 Pac. 279, the court said: "Ordinarily the law will not allow the same man to act as the vendor and the purchaser of property, but while this may be regarded as good and well-settled law yet it is not applicable to a case in which a man is acting as the agent of both the vendor and purchaser with the authority or consent of the parties Interested. . . . Two parties may always by mutual consent, no mat ter how diverse their interests, make a third their agent. It is true if A have an agent, that agent cannot with out A's consent act as the agent of B in a matter in which A s interests con flict with B's; but B. who selects the agent, knowing he is the agent of A, cannot take advantage of his own wrong in giving knowingly to the agent a trust conflicting with his duty to A." Court Explains Rights. And in the later case of Franck vs. Blaster, 66 Ore. 377, 133 Pac. 800, the court held that a broker has a right to represent both parties in the deal and receive commission from both, ness of life insurance. B. C. Forbes, in a copyright article in a recent num ber of "Leslie's Weekly" tells the story in this way. 'Only one man ever refused a part nership in J. P. Morgan & Co. 'The partnership was offered the first time the late Mr. Morgan saw the man. It came after only a few mo ments' conversation on a non-business subject. 'More extraordinary still, the man had never had a day's banking ex perience. 'Mr. Morgans engagement of H. P. Davison, a banker, and known to him personally, was dramatlo enough; but his proffer of a partnership to Georsre W. Perkins, as here described for the first time, constitutes perhaps the most dramatlo episode in the annals of high finance. "Mr. Perkins . . . had been named a member of the Palisade Park Commission and wanted to raise monev. A Morgan partner had several times this time he again suggested an in troduction. Mr. Perkins, with an eye. to "touching" the banker for a con tribution, agreed. Mr. Morgan greeted him in his private office, separated from the office of hla partners merely by a glass partition. "Mr. Perkins at once unfolded hia scheme, told the banker that they wanted to raise $125,000, and that Mr. Morgan's name among the contrib utors would facilitate the raising of the fund. " 'I will give you $25,000 Mr. Morgan replied without cavil. "Mr. Perkins thanked him cordially, and asked if Mr. Morgan could sug gest others that might be approached. " "Look here," Mr. Morgan immediately countered, 'I will give you the whole . $125,000 if you will do something for me?" "Astonished, Mr. Perkins stammered: "There is nothing I can do for you, Mr. Morgan.' " 'Yes, there is. You can turn round and take that desk and go to work. said Mr. Morgan very emphatically as he pointed to a large desk at the other side of the glass partition. "Mr. Perkins did not comprehend. H looked at Mr. Morgan quizzically. " 'I mean come in here as a partner,' explained Mr. Morgan. Mr. Perkins, to Mr. Morgans great astonishment for he was not In the habit o having young Napoleons re fuse to Join his cabinet replied: 'I can't do that.' . . .It was not until nearly a year after that Mr. Mor gan finally induced Mr. Perkins to Join the firm. 'Knowing this story, I asked Mr. Perkins why he did not at once grasp the opportunity to become a member of the greatest international banking house in the country, a position re garded as the Ultima Thule of Amer ican banking. Because I never have been in this world merely to make money,' replied Mr. Perkins in a tone that suggested there should be no amazement over his action. "I early learned that any man who starts out simply to make money never gets very far, for he will ruin his health or sacrifice his friends or drive so hard that there is nothing in it. I was brought up in the life in surance business. It Is not a charitable institution, but it is a business in which you deal with human beings and where you are doing something for the people. You work in a cause which you believe to be helpful to other people.' " fraud and that for that and other rea sons Dr. Bissell was entitled to rescind the contract and recover the moneys paid by mm.

The av erage grade of the hill Is 60 per cent, although beyond the first 200 feet the grade runs 70 per cent. The contests were replete with thrills. Some machines stood on end and final ly turned over ' backwards, while some looped the loop and went off the course, after which the crowd retreated and gave tbe ridera plenty of elbow room. Cooper Quits Track. Earl Cooper, one of the kings of the automobile race tracks, who enjoys the distinction of being one of the most consistent winners in the racing game, has practically given up racing for the coming year on account of the decision of the American . Automobile Associa tion to sanction no races for the dura tion of the war. Ho will devote the greater part of his time to an agency for Firrstonu tires in Sacramento, Cal. iOOI PASTE TO REMOVE RCST Ifs Made of Cyanide, Soap, Whiting and Some Water. Steel which has become rusty can be cleaned by brushing It with a paste composed as follows: Half an ounce of cyanide of potassium, half an ounce of Castile soap, an ounce of whiting and water sufficient to form the paste. The steel should be washed after the paste has been applied in a solution of half an ounce of cyanide of potassium in two ounces of water. On the other hand, rust may be prevented on steel parts by applying the following mixture with a brush, just as If It were varnish: One prt caoutchouc. 16 parts turpentine. These Ingredients must be dissolved In a gentle heat and then eight parts of boiled oil should be added. The whole Is now mixed by bringing them to boil ing heat. This material may ba re moved by the use of turpentine. Tighten Engine Bolts.

The court held that the fact that officers of the company . entered Into such a con tract was not in itself sufficient to render the same void, as, said the court: "To ' do so there must have existed at the time it was entered into a trust or some fiduciary relation be tween the plaintiff and the company, which required them to exercise a dis cretion." Secret Agreement Xot Binding:. It is to be inferred from this state ment of the court that if it had been tbe duty of its officials to buy the lum ber in question and to exercise their discretion as to whether or not the lumber should have been purchased. the commission contract would have been void. The effect of a secret arrangement for a commission without the knowl edge of both principals is illustrated in the still later and comparatively recent case of Whitney vs. Bissell. 75 Ore. 28, 146 Pac. 141. In that case the facts briefly were that a Dr. Bissell, then residing In Florida, employed a broker named Zlmmer, to purchase for him orchard land in Jackson County, Oregon. Through another agent. Zlm mer got in touch with a man named Whitney, who owned a tract near Med-ford. Zimmer wrote to Dr. Bissell and rec ommended that he purchase the Whit ney tract. During the negotiation Whitney agreed to pay Zimmer a por tion of the commission for making tn sale. The transaction was consum mated and the land conveyed to Ir. Bissell. who afterwards, believing he had been defrauded, rescinded the con tract and demanded judgment agains Whitney for the amount of the pur chase price paid by him, together with additional damages. The court held that when VVhitney, the seller, agreed to pay Zimmer, the purchaser's broker, a commission, if he had knowledge that Zimmer was al ready employed by Dr. Bissell and if he latter did not assent thereto, Dotn Whitney and Zimmer were guilty of a wrong committed against Lr. Bissell, for the reason that Zimmer's employ ment by Whitney was a temptation to. Zimmer not to give his best efforts to Dr. Bissell. The court thereupon held that the contract was procured through SHIPYARD FOREMAN JOINS ARMY OF REO OWNERS.
