That "all" happens to be an executive

coming to the woman's defense, he must

He experla the move to cost him his

, HIS GOOD ANGEL
"Mrs. Wurtxburger has been my good
angel," Gallagher told a reporter for The
Journal. "She raised my soul from hell,
when I was full of bitterness and vin
dlctlveness against the world. There
never was a finer, purer, better woman,
and it is inconceivable that she could
have committed this crime except under
desperate fear of losing her own life." ,
'.. -Mra Wurtzburger faces a charge of
first degree murder as a result of beat

Marion county, September 4. .Wurtx

the face of widespread unemployment
and stagnation in the agricultural and
Industrial lines the cost of living. con
tinues to mount higher and higher.'
This was shown today when the bu
reau ot labor statistics issued figures
showing that in 15 principal cities in
the United States the retail cost of food
Increased from I to I per cent during
the period of July 15 to August 15.
Bradstreet's index of wholesale prices
now shows an Increase after 13 months
of steady decline.
Roger Babson. B. C Forbes and other
economists have noted and announced
the same trend and predicted Its con
tinuance. The encouraging thing about high
prices, economists say, is that it means
"equilibrium and stability. .
They explain that prices which de
clined sharply are coming up to meet
those which did not fall so far. No ei
pert has yet satisfactorily explained why
those, which did not fall should not now
go down to meet those that did, instead
of the low ones coming up to meet the
high ones.
American ' consumers might as well
abandon hope that pre-war prices will
again prevail, the experts warn.
Government figures show the cost of
living never has dropped to the 1913
level. The same figures show also that
there Is a bigger margin of profit today
somewhere between the wholesaler and
the consumer than there was in 1913.

GEAR FOR ACTION
Seattle, Sept. 9. (U. P.) A penciled
letter, addressed to the -Police Chief, Se
attle," and purporting to have been
written by the escaped bandit. Roy
Gardner, is being, investigated by Post-
office Inspector J. J. Swenson today.
According to the postmark, the letter
was mailed in Seattle at 6:30 p. m. Sep
tember 7. This was two days after
Gardner made hla dash for liberty at
McNeils island prison.
Written on plain white paper with a
sort lead pencil, the letter reads :
"I am in Seattle. Will be in Yakima
tomorrow and then East. Come and get
me, you cheap dicks, but bring 'your
.guns, for you will need them. I paid
for my getaway charge it to Maloney.
(Signed) ROY GARDNER"
On the upper left hand corner of the
brown envelope was written. "Roy
Gardner, at large."
Growth of .Portland's port and exten
sion of its trade territory is one of the
factors in the Spokane, Portland & Se
attle railroad and affiliated lines show
ing an increase in earnings of more than
$1,000,000 during the year ending Sep
tember 1. as compared with the same
period one year ago.
This report was made this morning by
William F Turner, president of the
North Bank line, following, compilation
of an income account to be submitted to
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railroads, Joint owners of the S.
P. & S. i
Railroad i officialdom attaches great
importance to the report showing rail
road earnings during the year ending
September 1 for it shows the results of
the first year of corporate operation
sinoe federal control and guaranty ended
The guaranty period ended September 1,
1920, and the federal control period con
eluded March 1, 192a
I Jf CREASES SHOWS
Officials attach even more importance
to the report from a local aspect, be
cause of the rapid growth the port has
enjoyed during the year and because
the S. P. &; S. serves a large portion of
the Snake ; river territory which was
made exclusive trade territory for Port
land by .the Columbia Basin rate case.
So anxious was Turner to have the
figures down in hard cold statistics that
the tables for the month of August
had to be estimated to make " the re
port complete.
During the year just ended the S. P.
ft S. earning increased approximately
1812,000; the Oregon Trunk line in
creased JS3.000 and the Oregon Electric
increased $335,000. .
During the year of federal operation
and guaranty the thsee lines showed
net income : of $337,639 46, while during
the year Just ended the total net in
come was $1,443,810.57, or an Increase
of $1,106,171.11.
These highly increased earnings, ac
cording to Turner, were due to 'economy
of private ownership which meant' reduc
