Job Department Entered et the footofflco to Beleey ANOTHER WQED ABOUT OVER PRODUCTION Another word about the bugaboo a possible over Pro duction of dairy products in the Salem district i' And this is the word: : Ve can and do produce butter fat in the Salem district at a smaller eost than it can be produced east of the Rockies. How much smaller! At least 7 cerits a poiind smaller. Who says this? The highest authorities in the dairy world say it. They Raid it in speeches at the Salem Armory at the first Jersey Jubi lee banquet, and on similar occasions every year since- - v Only some of them make the difference in favor of the Wil lamette valley still greater; as much as 10 eents a pound. The 7 cent difference was worked out by good 'authorities in the time, years ago, when C. II. Markham was in charge of the Ore gon .lines of the Southern Pacific, and was boosting ' dairying here. (Mr. Markham has since become one of the greatest rail road men of the world. He is now president of the Illinois Cen tral.) , r -. . . , . . That 7 or 10 cent a pound difference does not take into con sideration the cheaper living conditions of the dairymen and their families; the smaller costs for getting through the winters and the summers, in our immunity from the extremes of cold and heat.':..- ;,; . v .m . -t . . . ' ;, . -C . There can never.be an over production of dairy products here, with these conditions existing. We can compete on more than an even footing with the world. - If that fact could be soaked into the heads of all the dairy men of the states east of the Rockies; thoroughly soaked into their heads, there would in two or three years be ten cows milk ed in the Salem district for every one milked now And this would be one of the best things that could happen to this section; and ,to the dairymen themselves, new and old. "NEW CHAPTERS IN THE OLD BIBLE." What is perhaps the largest Christmas card ever made was completed in an American orphanage in the Russian Caucasus when on Christmas Day twenty-two thousand children finished the signing of a card addressed to the whole American natiott ia gratitude for the care which has meant life to , them. , The card is now. ia the mails, and will be delivered ou its arrival in Am eriea .to President Coolidge. ; In Bethlehem the .very i town where Christmas originated with'he birth of Christ, the day was celebrated in'an American orphanage, for. nearly one hundred children are in an orphan Egc there.; J '."V ; ;!'.". 7'' . - Njsrareth; the-home of Jesus for most, of. his-life,-.was the scene o another celebration .As "more than one hundred boys are bein j trained as carpenters iri a shop located across. the ttreet from the shop of Joseph and Jesus. : ,.

Word has just reached the orphanages that hun dreds of Christian children left homeless when their parents, were'exijed from Asia Minor were wandering in the storms of Central Turkey.

"'-:f:- OUt WOXDEKS Oregon Is learning to capitalize its wonders. Mt. Hood, solemn, majestic, inspiring, stands through the years a monument erected by unknown hands to unknown things. Possibly the early gods, working their human subjects, builded this monument as care fully a3 the pyramids 'were built. Possibly some great upheaval came nearly upsetting the world, but left Mt. Hood as an 'everlasting monument to the power. ' , Then there is Crater Lake, si lent, stupendous, , awful. Just what made Crater Lake is not known, but beneath the placid waters of this natural wonder, be hind the smooth surface, there is a suggestion of infinite power. Crater Lake. is one of the world's greatest wonders. Or, suppose we enter the earth to hunt for its heart. In Jose phine county there is a great cave that men haj searched in vain to find the end of. . It may lead to the very heart Of the world so far as. explorers know. Ahyway, it is a, remarkable cave. j ; And wehave lesser things to attract; 'things worth going thou sands of miles to see. j Because they are close to home we do not notice them, but our visitors rave over them, and stand with un covered heads before the natural wonders that make Oregon great. . THE WROXG IDEA The prohibitory law is one of the few laws wherein epemies of the law undertake to dictate its enforcement. We read In the whiskey sheet of Salem the other day how the prohibition law should be enforced. There 'will be trouble In the enforcement of this law un til the present practice of loading op' enforcement is discontinued. The law does not have a fair chance, and will not have until the .enforcement is in the hands of its friends. ... It is time for the friends of pro hibition to demand that this law be rigidly enforced the same as any other law. We no longer set a thief tb catch a thief; in the un covering of crime. It is not fair to", put anti-prohibition ' men, or men not- In sympathy with the aw, in charge of enforcing the prohibitory law. " NOW VOll THE PARK The Chamber of Commerce has courageously taken hold of the park, proposition, and this means hat the tourist facilities will be adequate .the coming year. When The Oregon Statesman first be gun its campaign to make the park creditable it was an uphill job. A tourist park was a new thing, and there are stilt a good many people here who are prejudiced against new things. The new board of directors of the : Chamber of Commerce will practically major in putting the park. In condition, , TOOZE REPLIES Elsewhere In ihis issue the Ore gon Statesman publishes the reply of the state chairman, Walter L. T ooze, Jr., to the letter of H. H. Stallard of the8 Nonpartisan League. Mr, Tooze devotes' too much time to the league. The Nonpartisan League flourished for a few years, but it ran Its course and .there Is no chance in the world of ever reviving it. Every man who was In it at the borning of the movement has deserted it, and the self-seekers who kre try lng to pull It out for selfish ends can no more do so than anyone could revive the old Greenback party, the Farmers' . alliance, the Populist party, or any of the other defunct parties, Mr. Tooze is ns ins his ammunition on mighty small , birds. ., t, r MOKE I1Y-PLAY In 1912 the standpatters scut tied the ship rather than permit the progressives to have any say in the party- management. Fol lowing this same policy they aided in electing a liemocrat as chair- ban of the most important com mittee in the senate in this par ticular session rather than permit the progressives to namu any one of their umber. The progressives were willing to take Howell. Com ens or several others. The stand- palters started all that. While tew ol them' die, they nver learn anything. The pity of it. WELL DONE : .The new Chamber of Commerce board "of directors Muado ' a good Btart br re-elccUua C E." Wilson as secretary. Mr. Wilson dropped into that work almost accidentally, but from the beginning he showed such adaptability for handling'thls kind of busipess that he soon de veloped into a great secretary, Just at this time Salem is in need of a big business man in charge of the secretary's office, and the demand happens to be filled by the man now in office. MEXICO The pity of it Is that Obregon cannot get sufficient arms to crush the rebels at once. There will never be peace in Mexico until the central government is strong enough to dominate every .part of the republic. 'The least show of weakness will always be followed by a resort to arms on the part of rebel-minded men.

CHAPTER 8 "Should She Many a Scientist?" Should I marrv Professor Gil bert Pritchard and accompany him on an expedition to the South Seas?" Corinne Grant asked Wong wno, wun tne a jo ot hts mystic sand box, was trying to solve the future for her. . Sands tell all" Won f rt-rAA laconically and, as Corinne watched tne magic sands, she saw the scene change. She and her husband wtri on board a dirty tramp schooner. The tedious weeks on this slow, boat with its lawless crew and its brutal captain had filled Corinne with fear and loathing., Pritchard, who should have been her comnanion and protector, was occupied with nis dooks and his specimens, and when she hinted her fears to him, he tossed them aside as the imagi nation of a sensitive woman. ct Corinne s fears were very real. She trusted onlv M auri. a half-breed, who was a dealer in pearls and who offered Corinne one of his best when she had warned him of . an attack upon him by Simon Blake, the ship's captain. wake ruled his crew with gun and fast and him she feared most even more than Malay George, for he, in turn, feared Brake. Both Blake and Malay Georcc had been too familiar in their attitude toward Corinne, but Blake had gone so far as to grab Corinne brutally bv the wrist and snarl at her, "Keep away from that yellowback Mauri. it you want a man, pick a white man like me!" And Pritchard laughed at her fears! One day Blake, goinz into his cabin, found Sam Comstock search ing his cabin. Comstock was a de tective who had spent years in the chase of South Sea thugs and pirates. He had long suspected Blake of smuggling and now had the goods on him. Blake attacked Comstock. ' The crew, awaiting their chance to mutiny, rushed into the cabin. ! - -s ,-y , ; On deck Corinne heard the dis turbance and sought the aid of her husband, but it was Mauri who was prepared. In anticipation of this he had provisioned a lifeboat They had just shoved away from the ship's side when the body of Com stock splashed into the water. He had been trampled and beaten by the crew. Another splash, and Blake had dived in. In a minute he had climbed into their boat and he and Mauri were rowing toward the distant shore.' n Corinne was entirely inexperi enced in the ways of such a primi tive existence, but she tried with all sincerity to adapt herself to her surroundings and to be of help in setting up camp. That was more than could be . said of Pritchard. Leaving this work to Blake and Mauri, he , went, in search of his precious specimen's. i Blake had assumed authority of me nine group ana, tearing mm in every fibre of her being, Corinne krpt as far away from him as pos sible.". Blake was marking time he kept the boat in readiness to be rolled into I the sea. One day Corinne looked ud from her clam digging on the beach to see Blake Stealthily creeping up on Maun, who was sleeping. She tried to cry out a warning, but she was so frightened her voice would not respond to her wilt Blake clubbed Mauri on the head and knocked him unconscious. Then he ran down to the beach and seized Corinne roughly by the arm. "You're comin' with me, he told her savagely.; --; r !.' Corinne struggled ' in his grasp while she f wondcrr tf : where Jier husband conld be.. Why didn't he help her? Surely this was not to be her fate, , Just as her strength was giving out, help came sudden- 'v; s Mann, his brain still half Dumb from Blake's blow, statferertrf nn Hjs arm raised, a knife flashing ia ni5 nana.- - Slake released her and she fied.

Steelhammer., ; ! ii- - . a The stock that as been sub scribed for by the growers listed above is sufficient t give the con trol of the local cannery to the growers. The stocte is now being distributed to the growers, and a stockholders meeting will. be call ed in the very near future for the purpose of electing a new board of directors. C. A.: Hartley, and the other members of the present board of directors f will present their resignations tj take effect at. once, and the ney officers and directors will be chosen by' the growers. Under the new plan,, the growers will own and control all the voting stock, which places ab solute control of th'plant in the hands of the men Jwho will use the cannery to market their fruits. Thet cannery will be operated along lines similar to thosof the most while Blake twisted the knife out of Mauri's hand. A shot rang out. Corinne looked back and saw Mauri fall; She scrcamedland fled oh. Blake followed. Flan to elude him rushed through her excited mind as 'she 'ran. Sharp briars cutand scratched her. She was unmindful of any physical pain it was that terrible terror that 1 numbed her brain, stole her reason. Blake was now close behind her. She could hear hfm breathing heavily and cursing. But she cpuid not, would not give up.' She would keep- on running untif she dropped. Suddenly she emerged into a little clearing and saw tjiat she was trapped! : Shfe could fo no? further. She was on the edgef a precipice overlooking the sea. JThere was no escape now, save ipne. Rather death down there on he rocks than to become Blake's possession. She backed to the edge and waited, heart pounding in hei hroat, while Blake, a terrible ligljjt of triumph and anticipation in his eyes, came toward her. "Stay where you lire," Corinne said, and wondered that her voice sounded so calm. "5tay where you are 'or I'll jumpl' Confident that she would not carry out her threat, Blake ad vanced. Corinne shut her eyes and jumped. ...... In the meantime Comstock had found their camp. The shock of the water had revived him and he had been washed up on another part of the island. He saw Blake and Corinne on the cliff, silhouetted against the beautiful' tropical sky. He saw Corinne le$p. Pouncing upon the burly captain, thejf grap pled and fought fiercely, nearer and nearer the edge of Jhc precipice, and, locked in each 'other's arms, they fell down dowju! Blake was killed by the fall, hit ting on the rocks, but the detective swam ashore. There, to his joy, he beheld Corinne. She had land ed far beyond the treacherous recks and, except for bing stunned, was unhurt. Corinne looked across the sea and longed to be at home among her friends. , Then she cried with joy. Dimly on the horizon she saw the sails of a schooner. It meant relief front this terrible life. She had forgotten "her husband as he had forgotten her in jhis interest in his scientific explorations. Then she heird him shout and he came running toward them. Corinne's hcartv sank. Her duty would be here with him. f- Somcone touched : Corinne's el bow. It was Wong. With a start, she realized she vas at home. Sadly, she returncdrto Pritchard and told him that stfc had decided not to go. I Shortly after the professor's de parture a detective whom' Corinne had commissioned to locate a string of pearls that had bcen stolen from her called. The chase for the necklace had taken him all the way to Quebec, but hit had re covered them. 1 I Corinne was delightet, but at once realized that she could not pay the detective; "She told him about the loss of their fortune and suggested tnat ne Kfcp-tne pcaris until she was able to pay for his work. ' . ' ' , But the detectives had an idea. "Listen, Miss Grant! I can use a girl like you to helnj me on a big case. What do yon ay V Corinne reflected. She! fancied herself in, the role of a woman dc trciivr, .ferreting out 'evil-doers, un cloaking njrpocritcs and offenders against society and Jhe law. She was about to say yej wheit she re membered s Wong's pwer of look ing into the future. I Asking for a few imimites while she considered his offer, Corinne w.erii again to Wong .for advice. -Would Corinne succeed as a de tective?

Answer to today' picture paxile: The successful of the cooperative can neries, and no fruit will be taken care of other than that, of the stockholders. In order to reduce the cost of taking care of the fruits produced in this locality, the plant will run to' full capacity, which means that in the future several times the quantity of fruit will be handled as heretofore. The or ganizers of the cooperative can nery have been approached !by several big growers from the out side districts with, a view to their becoming interested in the local concern. It is their desire, how ever, that all locally grown fruit be taken Care of first, and that no outside fruit be taken until they know definitely the - number o'f tons of each, variety of locally grown furit that has to be taken care of. The local growers will be given an opportunity to affili ate themselves with this organiza tion in order to assure them of a market for their crops. In the event that the local growers do not subscribe for stock that repre sents sufficient fruit to run the cannery to full capacity, enough outside growers will be taken in to assure the quantity of fruit re quired to operate the plant to its lull capacity. 5 . . j BITS FOR BREAKFAST I Likp April showers.
