Dismissing the demurrer entered by the . state in , the case in which a temporary injunction was granted by Judge Eakin, preventing Oregon - fish wardens from arresting purse seiners bring fish caught during the Sunday closed period into the' Co lumbia river for .sale," Judge Coke of Marshfield today declined to dismiss the temporary injunction granted by Judge Eakin. The state was given 20 days in whloh to file answer.' While not settling the case the decision Is a temporary victory for the purse seiners. It will allow them to fish dur ing the present week-end. The ruling made no attempt To determine the con stitutionality of the law, which was at tacked by the purse seiners, and merely denies the state's request to suspend the temporary injunction,: ' The fight against the parse seiners , end the advantage they have gained in the courts will be continuedi, after tha fishing' season has closed Thursday and the final legal decisions on the present law may not be expected before winter. In the case of the purse seiners arrested by the fish, wardens for bringing fish caught outside of Oregon waters into this state for sale, though the fishermen were not possessed of licenses to fish in Oregon water. Judge Coke ruled that the men had violated no law and that they hould be released and their bond money two cases were filed by mail from Marsh field and were received by the county clerk today. - i - . n miMiisiunuHlBnT5itmWJW 1 S "x"" V ' f it f - -v ' Who can blame them if, in order to live, they fall back upon their aim re maining asset?

At 2:30 o'clock Brumfield had covered the return- 22 miles and was working on a. patient in his office 'lh the Perkins building on the main street of Rosebarg. It Is worthy of note .that, both going and returning, the dentist had passed the cabin where his prospective victim lived. Did he Stop there?. Was it even perhaps the spot where the ' box was packed? These questions remain to be answered " -: '! KCOK0 UKUOJIKS CLEAR Now the record emerges from even partial mystery and becomes - extraor dinarily clear. j From 2:30 to 6 o'clock, !

"I'm mitrfaty glad to see you back, mighty glad. You mightn't believe it, but I consider you one of the best friends -I've got." and ueorge grins. That's the kind of a man "Doc" is hail fellow well met with everybody, no false pride about him. calls 'em by the first name, willing they should call him by his, just one of the boys. In the old days they say "Doc" wasn't that way. : Some persons even declare that he was accustomed to pass up good fellows like Sam and George with a very perrunctory nod.: But "Doc" has seen the light Adversity has brought . Its usual miracle, s-and humanity blooms generously in his heart. SPIRIT IS INFECTIOUS As for George and Sam, well, they just naturally can't be expected to treat "Doc", like, an ordinary criminal, Of course, they had to hunt him up when they round another man under the Doc's" automobile, with the "Doc's" clothes on and a couple of bullet holes through his back, but that's no reason why they should be disagreeable about it. fSam," Qeorge says, "I don't believe it would be a good Idea' to put Doc in the regular bull pen. I guess we'd bet ter fix him up in the woman's Quar ters on the second floor." r So "Doc" gets an airy apartment In stead of a'celL ' . - , "Doc's" wife, comes to visit him, of course. If jail custom' were strictly fol lowed, she would be watched to see that she didn't pass "Doc" a cold chisel, or an automatic 'pistol; 'either of which would be juite sufficient to effect his deliverance from' present surroundings. LIKE HOME FOR "DOC" But, of course, in the case of "Doc" that would be ridiculous. : So Sam calls Percy over and says : "Percy, you can just shut the door and leave them in there together." -So "Doc" and "Mra. Doc" are allowed to chat in the strictest seclusion for--well, yesterday, it was for about eight hours. Of course. If the "Doc" were mean enough he could take that occasion to patch up some holes in a defense which on casual inspection appears- to need V XiWV AT THE CaBIN. mllnlml)llllHnlmllllIlIlBlllHllllnlr ''.fy 'U.TJ5SELL9 SSACK, ' y?

Not thing." It's been that way ever since Sam and Percy went up to Calgary and got "Doc. Percy Is Percy Webb, a deputy sheriff. ' "What does he say about the murder?" an inquisitive outsider asked Sam when the party arrived in' Oregon. "Well, said Sam, "we haven't asked him much about that. It seems to bother him." George said he felt the same way about it. So "Doc" has completely es caped any shadow of the rigorous ques tioning -which is usually the lot of per sons charged with murder. Of course, it is possible that under such questioning, the "Doc" would have told who the woman was who bought a pink skirt for him the morning of the murder, and why he shipped that pink skirt to himself, and how a couple of bullets from his rifle strayed Into Dennis Russell's body, and why he lent the late Mr. Russell his clothes just before that gentleman chose to perish beneath his automobile, and a lot of other things which the Jury will want to know when the case comes up for trial. But then that would get the "Doc" all het up, and anyway, George says he's got more than enough- evidence to convict. MAT 3f AKE IT HOT TOR "DOC- -The "Doc" is going to get his all right. George says. . He was -a good friend of "Doc." They are even brother Elks. But that isn't going to swerve George not a particle.- .. ' "Justice Is goinff to be done." George says, "you can count on that." They are good people, are George and Sam. Maybe they are a little better to "Doc" than they would be to the aver age accused murderer say to defunct Mr. Russell If matters were reversed but not so very much better. After all they possibly reason, "Doc" isnt such a bad guy. - He did let himself get caught they must be filled from the civil service lists. ' ' -.- - SUBPATROXAGE XIL: ' 4 Now sa . to the collector of customs. which apparently Is to go to George U. Piper. This- prire, obviously, was bestowed on the insistence of Senator Stanfield. The lukewarm relations that existed between Stanfield and the Re publican organization during the cam paign are recent history. Thus when Piper on buttonholing visitors at - the headquarters of the -Harding and Cool- idge club over which he presided In the Hotel Portland would put a word in for Stanfield, he was bound to in gratiate himself with the now senator. This service doubtless had weight with Stanfield regardless of any other con siderations that might have appealed to his fancy. But Piper gets a Job and that Is about all. He will enter a citadel of civil service for every attache of the customs, office in this district, with the exception of one whose work is at New port and whose annual emolument is 1300 is under federal regulation. So much for that. . AS TO HARSHALSHIP Now for the ' marshalship for which Major Clarence . U. Hotchklss is recom mended. As United States marshal he will have at 1 his disposal the appoint ment of seven deputies with salaries ranging from 11540 to $22 40 and of two bailiffs. This is not a great deal of material with which to satisfy the earn- est seekers, but it. Is more than his colleagues will have. Here again the "organisation" scored. Hotchkiss Is satisfactory to State Chair man Tongue. And political gossips re call the foray which Jack Day. Mult nomah county chairman, is credited with having contemplated a year ago with the purpose of - supplanting Tongue as state chairman, w.ith Joe Dunne, leader of the Lowden forces. The plan failed.

Will Be Menaced by Disaster. London, Aug. 20. L N. S.) Woman must be regarded as any other market commodity butter, eggs, wheat, cotton or stocks and bonds. Her "worth" In society the respect man has for her depends exactly upon the demand, just as the law- of - supply and demand governs the price of butter and eggs. If the present surplus of un married - women, resulting from the World war, continues her value will de cline and civilization will be threatened with disaster. In this exceedingly blunt manner Pro fessor Patrick Geddes. eminent English sociologist, deals with the problem of what to do with the 10,000,000 "surplus women of Europe, a problem that has stirred the minds of leading French and German sociologists ever since the after war census statistis showed its gravity. WHE2C CITIxllATIok is HIGH "Civilization ' Is high, or low according as women are at a premium or at a dis count," says Professor Geddes. "In the present circumstances . our one hope Is America. There women are not so numer ous. There Is keen competition for them and they choose their own husbands. They are more highly respected, and If they retain that respect they will make their Influence felt In Europe, despite the seemingly hopeless . situation of many -women here." . . EMPLOYMENT SUGGESTED Other English social workers generally reflect Professor Geddes' views. With one accord they reject the suggestion by a French writer that European na tions should save their unmarriageable daughters by legalising polygamy. "The gravest and most urgent need of our times Is to give the women who can marry something else to fill up their lives." says Miss Lillian Barker director of a women's employment and . training. There are hundreds of thousands of women who cannot marry and who, un less they are helped, cannot get a job. Jill. A liter If- rV j .Did you f ever own a furnace 1 that leaked gas and smoke j . ' into your i home ? I This Is the Reason: Some furnaces are built of cast iron with the sections bolted, and others of steel with the sections riveted. Cast iron and steel furnaces will expand as they become heated, and when cooling contract. Bolts and rivets expand . to the farthest point. and as there is never any contraction in the bolts and rivets when the furnace cools off. eventually the joints become loose and permit leakage of smoke and gas Into your home. This has always been the most objectionable feature of the warm-air heating system, and in this respect the faults of a pipe furnace are also the faults of the pipeless. The manufacturers of the International Furnaces overcome the obec tionable features of gas and smoke leakage by constructing their furnaces of cast Iron throughput, eiiminattrg boils and rivets by the use oi cored castings, which give absolute assurance for all. time to come that your furnace will never leak smoke or gas. j We bark ear assertions with a written gaaraatee that these eered eattisrt will never crack or bars eat, as the Metal is of uniform thick tarosfkoat. , .. j INTERNATIONAL Pipe and Pipeless Furnace ' ' Coarealeat Tens of Paymeit -v LYNCH Broadway 2148 BROS. ; 92 Sbrth Street Pacific x Chiropractic College Augmented curriculum, able faculty.
