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.

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. "

The Oregon Statesman first be

lowing this same policy they aided

ticular session rather than permit
the progressives to namu any one

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. .

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

help her? Surely this was not to

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

hands of the men Jwho will use

Thet cannery will be operated along

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? Was such dancerous work

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

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

Btarted ages ago when men count

in twenty and thus the checking
off of things, by scores began.

ships traveling east grow lighter
