uUiutUXU iituuoi ..' S. P.1 E CUTOFF Charles S. Fee of Southern , Pacific Company is Vis- ' ; itor in Salem " .". ". Charles 9. Fee. passenger traf fio manager for the Southern Pa cific railway system, with, offices at San Francioco, and John M Scott, general passenger agent for Oregon, visited Salem last Frldar, coming In Mir, Fee's-private car. , "I merely came to get one more glimpse of one of the most beau tlfol of cities," said Mr. Fee; as ha walked through the atate house' grounds after visiting - a number of the state offices in the capital. ''It grows more beauti ful, and busier,, every year." Situation 'Reviewed ! f ? 'Mr. Fee spoke. "briefly oa the railroad situation, in Oregon, as It concerns new building through, and east' of theCoscades. - lie says that ft the Interstate com merce commission theory of t portionment of the Central Pa cific is carried out the Southern Pacific is certain to build the Natron cut-off.

" " At present the matter - stands l!ke this: 1 .The aapreme rourt. In ttrpretinV tbe SKcrman antitrust lair, .holds that the Central Pa cific and the Southern Pacific should' be, divorced.', without 're gard to eoliseqnenees the decis ion is on the law as the court holds it to be written, and ex pediency or even justice., is not necessarily considered. The com mission, however takes the view that the railroad decision does not fall to the supreme court, but to the commission, as the ulti mate authority,: and while the su preme court is asked for a- rehear ing la the cane, the commission claims the right to act without regarding the supreme court or der on the theory that the su preme court has no jurisdiction. - . 8. P. .Hopes for Verdict If the supreme court should grant a rehearing, which will be announced in October, that might give' the- Southern Pacific 'the verdict ' that it says will assure the Natron cut-off and much other Oregon development.' If the su preme court denies the rehearing, the- Interstate commerce commis sion might act, and If it made good Its claim against the court, it might render an, early final de cision; ' But through whichever channel the ultimate authority may be de veloped, Mr. Fee states that it the Southern Pacific control of the Central Pacific, that hae been sV potent for progress for the past 56 years, is sustained and oonflnnyBdi, the company is going to make dirt fly in Oregon as it hasn't flown, for many, many ' years. 1 "j" ' J -' ' ?

THfcS VOICE THAT INTERRUPT: ED MADGE'S PERFECT MO MENT: "Well!" Dicky demanded aft"r several moments of searching', for the sprays of trailing arbutus, "Is your appetito for these thine positively:. Insatiable, or will you leave some for another tiras?" ' I reflected whimsically th.it the devotion;, of a husband where wild i flower picking was concern ed, must, not ,Je Jooorely taxed, so 1 1 rose to my feet promptly. "I, think., these will do-for now I said with a mischievous look at him. "I'll let you off thin time in the hope that you'll help me again." "Sure thing," Dicky replied carelessly, and we turned toward the lake again. I found that my strength had not' returned as much as I had fancied, and my steps perceptibly lagged. My husband saw this, and, an nounced authoritatively: "Come over- here and sit down." He put his hand beneath my el bow, hurried me to the rustic bench we had noted, and arrang ed me comfortably with my hack against one of the pine tree the commission, It is impossible to state. ! Long Time Railroader Mr. Fee was with the Northern Pacific railroad for 20 years in the days when It was being patch ed np front streaks of rust and barb-wire and splendid hopes. He helped to build, it into a real transcontinental railroad. Then he went with the Southern Pa cific, where be has been for an other 20 years. He is one ef the from-the-ground-up railroad ers who hare made the history of the west, and, he has fought his, way every inch of the road to international prominence. His family Is with him on this trip. trcr.ks to whfch the - bench waa fastened.'-' TYoa're Just like a colt." he, grumbled; as he dropped to the carpet of pine needles beneath the trees, and stretched himself lazily. "Give yon your head and you run till you drop." "Don't give yourself such airs." I retorted good-iiatoredly. "What sori of common sense are yon dis playing In lying on that ground? It Can't help bet be damp." A Shadow Dispelled. ' !'lts as dry as a bone," he asserted. "Remember, you're in the sunny South, my dear." t'And for that very reason you ought to be careful until you're acclimated." I said didactically. "Look here!" He sat np ener getically. "I didn't 'come here to lieten to any medical lecture. What the devil do you want to poach on mother's preserves for. anyway? She' the official wet hlanket and Joy-klller around thig family. According to her the oiv ly t-afe place for man, woman or child. is in bed, with the covers drawn tightly up to your chin. If you're going to begin that sort of thing, too, I'm going on a still hunt for some of the moonshine I've heard about in these parts or hereabouts." "I suppose yon quite fancy that as a pun." I said with mock se verity, gladly seizing any chance to turn the conversation to anoth er angle. I felt too entirely at peace with the world to risk Dicky's being annoyed at my fus siness. After all. I reminded my self, he was a folly grown man, and if he wished to risk taking cold it was strictly his own busi ness. But I could not repress a whimsical reflection npon the in-, consistency of Dicky's resenting, my solicitude for his physical wel fare when he was so authorita tively exercising his for me. "It isn't a bad little thing, is it?" he replied complacently, and then we both laughed I with re lief that a Bhadow, even if a trif ling one, had been driven away. I find, as I think every wife does, that the times when one can be completely In accord with one's husband are rare and precious, not to be marred ever so slightly if one can possibly help it. I was enjoying this little outing with Dicky so much that I would havd Persistency and bard work have been held up as the keynote of success and their value is not denied but Economy by the housewife it equally responsible for the success of the working man.

The Perfect Moment. I leaned baek against the tree trunk and began, arranging the prays of arbutus. I became con scious that Dicky was watching me rather intently, and flushed under his scrutiny like a school girL " "Put some f those in yonr hair." he said abruptly. I looked at him ' in surprise and my eyes dropped before something in his which made my fingers tremble as I put my hands up to my hair with the blossoms for which he bad asked. Tt wa: such a glance as he used to give me in the wild rapturous diys of his whirlwind wooing.; "Not that way!" He sprang to bis feet and ' towered above me. "Here, give ; me, "those things." , I meekly surrendered th4m, and I felt, his 'fingers tucking th fra grant blossoms among the twists of my wind-blown coiffure. I wondered if It wag only exciting fancy that his touch was tremu loui also. "There!" he stepped ba'k and looked at me, a gaze of Pennine youthful admiration that swept the staid commonplaceness of marriage out of existence. "Now, loo down at your flowers again. By Jove, I'm going to paint j-ou tha way! Do you know, Madge, you're absolutely the prettiest thing? My own sweetheart!" He put his arms around me impetuodsly, and I returned his lingering kiss rapturously. The next instant Dicky released me abruptly with a muttered impre cation as Maj. Grantland'p voice called to us from only a short distance away. ; (To be continued) FEDERATION TO '' ViSITlilTOI Salem Commercial Club to Be Represented-pt Gath ering Tonight Monitor is to entertain the Mar ion County Community federation tonight, at the Monitor home.

One other important matter to be brought up. is the move started by the Liberty fruit growers for a minimum of C cents a pound for Loganberries. The local repre sentatives of the big movement expect to go to the Monitor meet ing and lay their case before the people.
