This Is sanity. - The more than 109 miles of , two' roads, side by side
aad but a few yards apart, never should hare been built 'n that canyon.;
That madness meant more than 200 miles of costly track where but
160 miles was needed.' It meant an original outlay of more than $20.-
000.000 instead of $10,000,000. It meant $10,000,000 of ojther people's
money utterly, and wantonly wasted by railroad wreckers. If anybody
else but railroad magnates had done It the fact would have been heralded
over, the world as a scandal, an outrage and a financial tragedy.,
It meant the construction and upkeep of two sets of costly bridges,
two sets of expensive tunnels and two. costly roadbeds of more than 100
miles each. It meant the demand by the companies of .rates high enough
to produce sufficient revenue to pay a fair return on the investment, one
half of which investment was as foolish as If the money had been thrown
into the sea. It meant that the public was called upon to pay the com
panies a profit, not only , on the legitimate investment but on the phony
Investment. . .
It is Just to say that the Harrlman interests were chiefly responsible
for this crime of the Deschutes. Urged, by the then Governor Chamber
lain and others to build a railroad into Central Oregon, Mr, Harrlman
steadily refused to" do so. ' ! , ;
James J. Hill came along after the trip of John F. Stevens through
the country, and set about tojauild the-line. Harrlman rushed in then
witn ms own line ana usnered in the gloomy chapter of -the wasted mil
lions with: most of the Central Oregon territory still unserved by a railroad.
The other 75 miles of . two roadbeds within half a stone's throw of
each other ought to be reduced to one, and the salvaged rails and other
materials be. used in extensions Into Central Oregon. Portland influence
ought to.be used to forward that extension to the end that Central Oregon
should be kept as a part of this state- instead of remaining tributary ter
ritory to California. .. ' , ' v-:'"A.-
The two companies that spoiled a great railroad program by spend
ing their energies In a duplicate system ought to repair the damage done
in that crime by combining now to make the suggested extensions.; -

OUT OF THE MESS?
THE CRIME OF THE DESCHUTES

estimated value of $85,000.. Every
state is having its tax troubles. Still,
there are people who do not want
international agreements to end war.
MUNICIPAL JUDGE EKWALL,
T70nD flltere out of Washington
' that the Harding adminlatra
tlon la nerving itself to take part in
European affairs
, It U difficult role for that ad
ministration .to undertake, lnaa-
, much as campaign talk repudiated
ruch a policy, Bulsvenis v over
which the national administration
nas no . control are compelling
high officials to take the 'view
that was ' held by the previous
government, that America must par
ticipate: la foreign problems., f or the
protection, of her own, Interests.
The Rhine claim was undoubtedly
one of the .reasons for the reces
ion from the position of isolation.
In that Instance this government
found that It was extremely difficult
to collect $341,000,000 owed this
country for malntensnce of the
American s.rmy ontho Bhtne. In
faot, the sum bas not been collected,
yet and may not be collected' be
cause of our, substitution of a sepa
rate treaty with Germany for the
'treaty of Versailles. 'It was found
that a $241,400,000. isolation was an
expensive isolation.
Then the problem of claims of
Americans against Germany comes
along. Relatives of those who lost
their lives in the Lusitanla disaster
have claims against the German gov
ernment, So have those American
Interests whose .property In German
territory was confiscated during the
war. . The combined "claims amount
to approximately '300.'000.00. But
that sura, too, is hot to "be easily ob
talned. . The. Versailles treaty gives
the allies a first mortgage ort Ger
many. .. Our senate refused to per
mit this country to become ft party
to that agreement. - Consequently,
the all res collect, first, then America,
and the allies are likely to collect 11
that Germany has to pay, at least for
the next few years. The result Is
that American officials are wonder
lng whether this nation is going to
do any collecting at all, or whether
the neople of this country are t lose
a half million. dollars in. claims be
cause Of our Isolation, or whether
the collection, is to be ,' postponed
until the claimants of this country
have. gone to-the great beyond. - .
There Is another .' consideration
that must also Impress Itself -upon
the administration, . Our 'foreign
markets have 'declined 10 per .'cent
since Mr. Harding took office.' We
,ha refused to" deal with ' Europe;
we therefore cannot eaTery .afford her
more credits and she cannot buy our
products. It Is one of the Impor
tant 'reasons why there is a dearth
of Profits aad jobs and buying power
it this country. Can the admin 1st ra
I'.on take the responsibility f or -a
continued basinets i depression by
continuing the Isolation humbug?
It ta to- be hoped that reports that
Mr, Harding Is ready to recede from
th policy forced on him by cam
PAifA doctrine are true. He should
rrve himself, take the leadership

up in the manufacturing plants at
home. . j
But the crime waves and murders
have apparently beaten the path for
another such bill at Washington.
The repeated crimes in which the
pistol always plays a part have at
last called men's attention to the
tremendous destructive power and
crime breeding agency the weapon
has proved to be.
Cities have prohibited the sale of
revolvers save on a permit basis.
States have enacted similar laws. But
those who wanted guns have always
found it easy to go to neighboring
Ftates or neighboring- cities and pro
cure weapons.
The regulation of pistols is a regu
lation that cannot be fully effective
unless it is by action of the federal
government. The statute must apply
to all states if the sale is to be
stopped. And the best way is to
reach the gun at its v source, .. the
manufacturer.
If the crimes of the last two years
have fully educated the people to the
crime - breeding propensities of ; the
pistol, it is possible that congress
may yet pass a law to aid in the
conservation of life and property in
spite of the lessened profits of the
gunmakers.
I A Pennsylvania judge decides that
lit is legal for a man to scatter poison
over his garden to protect hls'vege
tables from his neighbor's chickens.
It may be legal all right, but it Is
hardly a Christian act. Nor would

tial remains of a few of his choice
pullets, look upon It is an example of
neighborly affection.
A FORBIDDEN RIDE
rpWO girls in their teen -.were

by two men, rolled up by the curb,

It is not known yet whether "there

not .known whether the men ;in
flicted some of. the wounds, or
whether they were all sustained when
the two gfrls leaped from the running
board: i as, the. car speeded, toward
another it and away from parents
and home.
When the least Injured of the girls
awoke In a hospital her first state
ment was:

to ride with men I didn't know.
Of course; the mother was dying.
She was going through untold mental
suffering while- the child was absent.

.But that IS one of the' great -dif

lines, and concludes with the statement
that "substantial provision for the bonus.
should be made by the levying of a
small production or sales tax. Then It
could stand on Its own feet and hon
estly pay its way." And the Chicago I
Tribune (Ind. Rep.) rises to remark, that
we do not know that the house bill is
(.the best bill possible. It at least shows
good faith of the government toward its
defenders. It is reasonable to demand
that the senate shall not now repudiate

in. A roatar ot MfaGrooms' neighbor Ot tha
early "SOa exhibits acorn of naxna that are' part
and proH o( $ha history of Portland.
Mrs. William Grooms is 94 years old
and has lived In Portland more than 70
years. When she came to Portland In
1850, she lived at the home of Rev. Hor
ace Lyman. Mr. 'Lyman, with his wife,
bad sailed from 'New York late in 184S
aboard the bark Whitton. It took them
six months to' round the Horn and reach
San Francisco. At San Francisco they
went aboard the Toulon and spent, an
other month In, sailing from San Fran
cisco to the mouth of the Columbia. At
Astoria they went aboard the Sarah Mc
Farland and reached Portland in the
summer of IS 19.
Mr. Lymaa : ws from Massachusetts.
He was born at East Hampton in 1815.
He was a graduate of Andover Theo
logical seminary. During the fall aad
winter of 1549 he and his wife, in Port
land, lived in a small frame building that
had been built for a stable. , He spent
the winter teaching school and gather
ing a Cock about him so as to found a
Congregational church. He secured a lot
at the corner of Second and Jefferson
streets on which he spent all his spare
time, cutting down trees and clearing it
so as to be ready for his proposed church
building. Old-time Masons and other
early day residents of Portland will re
in ruber the gala time oa St Johns day,
1850. In spite of logs and stumps in
thu embryonic streets, a procession was
formed which marched from the Masonic
hall to the Methodist church, where the
people heard an address by Mr. Lyman
and an oration by T. J. Dryer. That eve
ning Lieutenant F. S. R. Russell of the
United States army, who was stationed
at Fort Vancouver, acted as worthy
grand-master. In this same year Mr.
Lyman was very active in the forma
tion .of the "Sons of Temperance." He
was also active in the good roads move
ment. The following year the road from
f ortiand to Tualatin Plains was opened.
at which occasion General Stephen Cof
fin laid the first plank.

' When M. hrman, who was later-an In
Btructor in Pacific university, started his
school, In December, 1849. la Portland, he
taught In a frame structure built; and
owned by Colonel William King. This
combined schoolhouse and church was
located on First street about two doors
north to Oak street. A bell was pro
cured for this building which later hung
in the steeple of the Taylor Street Meth
odist church.
Following atr, Lyman, Cyrus A. Held
taught a term in this schoolhouse, in the
spring of 1850. The number of students
had grown from about 40 under Rev.
Lyman, to over 60. The charge for pu-
iuia was am i or a tnree months' term.

The Impassable Canyon of the Snake
A Feast of Horseflesh Across
Country for the Columbia, r.
By Walter E. Meacham, Psesldent of the -
. 'Old Oregon Trail Association,
On December a, 181L Mr. Crooks and
bis party were seen on the other side
of the river (Snake), returning after a
vain attempt to get through, the narrow,
precipitous canyon of . the river aad seeing-
nothing but mountain Piled 1 upon
mountain for miles ahead, i Crooks and
his men were almost starved, having
subsisted on a few beaver and old moo-
casins. Hunt and his men then turned
about and started back up the river. '
In their extremity, Mr. Hunt ; sug
gested that the horse, of Pierre Dorion
be killed and eaten, but the owner
doggedly refused to part with his animal.
Continuing on, the -party came anex
pectedly upon a camp of Shoshone In .
dians. who fled in great fright whs
the white men came in sight. ' The party
immediately caught five horses and
killed one for food. They made a boat :
of the skin and sent meat over to the
starving men on the opposite side of the
river. One of the Canadians, Jean Bap
tists Provost, returned In the boat and ,
because of his hunger gad enfeebled
condition, became excited en beholding
the meat roasting before the fire avnd -upset
the canoe and was drowned la the
cold, swift current of the river.
' A station on the Homestead branch of
railroad, down the river la named after
the unfortunate Canadian aad one also) ,
in honor of Sardepie. another Canadian
boatman who ferried meat across the
treacherous stream for tha relief of tha
men oa the other side. Proceeding aleng
the liver banks the party met with some
Shoshone Indians and tha lure of an eld
Un kettle secured another bora fo
food.' - '' ' - - X '
