THE BIO
(Los Angeles Times.) j
4 'Descendants of Col. Thomas
lack of foresight indicated by their ancestor. He had a farm
of sixty acres on Broadway in New York City and in 1723
itraded it f or 100 acres across the river in New Jersey. He got
more land and he found himself farther removed from the
'growing noises of a town. These seemed to he distinct advan
tages at the time and he was pleased with the deal. Today the
New Jersey farm is, worth possibly &M),000, but the Broadway
, acres woild bring something like $1,000,000,000. The great
-inoney ihthe world has been made in the increase in value of
business property in the large cities. More wealth has been
found in Los Angeles than in all the diamond mines of Africa
and the gold hoardings of the Klondike combined."
.-;, '' j - -v
T The Los Angeles Times puts the matter rather strong in
the above : " "; " -
But Ihe principle holds' good in any growing city. It will
hold good in Salem, and increasingly so in the business district
from now on, with the possibility of the doubling of the popula
tion here! within a few years; within ten years, if the industrial
growth is as great as present prospects indicate
And then only a fair start will have been made.
. Take the paper mill in Salem, It emplo3-s directly about
550 people; but these represent with their families about 1750
people, and they must patronize, the butcher,! baker and candle
stick maker; they need the services of doctors and dentists and
lawyers and preachers and teachers. A couple of additional
jostoffice employees are necessary because of the presence of the
'nriginal 350 here. I This may lie drawn out almost indefinitely.
Thev must'have raw materials in the shape of wood and logs.
toavinsr out many thousands of
employing many people in the woods and on the farms, and in
hauline and trucking. All this additional activity would rer
. uire a town of 3000 to. 4000
ivould double the copulation of
I Two! or three linen mills
iirectly.l and in themselves make necessary the doubling of
, Salem's bresent population. And we may have, will no doubt
have, in time, sugar factories
- many otners. i ' ! ;
When we get 100,000 people in Salem, we will be going still
I stronger! towards 200,000. The linen industry alone, developed
': as it should be, would give Salem a half million people.
"The big money V is just as certain in Salem, in well located
real estate,' as it is in Los Angeles; and without anything re
i fcembling boom conditions but just the necessary growth con
! sequent upon the development of our resources ; just hooking up
i our workers on the land to our workers in the city, manufac
, turing and marketing what the land may produce.
"FINISHING FLAX HARVEST"
"h (Portland Commerce of yesterday.)
"The flax harvesting season in the Willamette valley is
nearly over for 1924, and most of it will be pulled by the end of
the current week. Through use of the pulling machines which
the Chamber of Commerce and the state enabled the farmers
to get this year, remarkable progress has been made in the
harvesting work. In one instance one machine pulled 29 acres
in 32 actual op'erating hours. Five to eight acres have been
pulled in one day by one machine, thus doing the work of
approximately 40 hand laborers. Costs in operating the mach
ines have also fallen appreciably below the figures estimated at
the beginning of the year, so that there has been an excellent
all-around showing made with the new mechanical equipment.
"The Chamber officials believe that this is proving perhaps
the most important step that has yet been taken to put on a
sound commercial basis the great flax industry that all believe
possible in Oregon. The mechanical pullers bring the harvesting
work" down to a cost that is of the highest importance in the
ultimate results, and also make the matter of production of given
.quality a certainty, which could not be attained through hand
pulling methods. ... - ! - ! .' .
Flax Pulling' in Movies
"Included in the Pathe Weekly shown at. the Peoples
Theater this weeki, is a picture of the flax pulling machines
recently purchased through the aid of the state of Oregon and
the Oregon Development Fund. The operation of the machines
is clearly shown with close-ups whieh enable one to see.the'exact
operation by which the flax is pulled. As a finale, in order
to indicate the improvement brought about by use of these
machines, the old method of hand pulling is showii." ; .
"Portland Commerce is the weekly magazine of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce. The flax pulling machines may
be made to take the place of 80 people, running from daylight
to dark; and it might be equipped with lights and run at night
and take the place of 160 hand laborers; f
The Pathe films of the operations of the flax pulling
machine will be in Salem soon, and their coming will be an
nounced in The Statesman. ' - , - -; i . :
Wonderful things are being done with cellulose at the Salem
-paper mill, including the nialcing of "bond papers;" the kind
you use " in writing' letters 'to your Jfriends and to keep books
' with. More wonderful things will be done in the future. Ask
r the librarian to let you have a work on chemistry, written' in
popular form, and read "up on cellulose, You will i find it in

fought with cellulose; without it there would be no high ex

MONEY"
DeKay are 'grieving over the
dollars monthly for these, and
people. A few such institutions
Salem. j
may employ 4000 to 5000 people
and potato starch factories, and
on the Columbia
Portlana and not
rirer east of
a vessel plies
there now. We spent a lot of
money on the Willamette river
and not a vessel Is golST. Jt is
alt well enough to talk about
forcing 'this, but the center we
will have to buck is too strong.
The Mississippi river, upon
which more money has been spent
than any other river In the world,
is scarcely used for transportation
at all. All over the country mon
ey has been dumped into the riv
ers and; it has all been graft, pork
barrel waste. ' ' '"-": "K
Senator Gooding of Idaho fig
ures that we have spent $1,200,
000,000. In the last 22 years we
have spent $750,000,000 on our
rivers and harbors.
Senator Gooding defined his
national policy when he added:
I want to continue to vote for
appropriations for rivers and har
bors for I do not believe I this
country can reach its fullest great
ness as a nation without the de
velopment of water transporta
tion upon our rivers and in our
coastwise shipping. But it seems
to me t is a waste of money to
continue appropriating hundreds
of millions of dollars for the im
provement of our rivers with a
governmental policy that makes it
impossible to develop wafer trans
portation upon our inland water
ways. (For capital will never In
vest in river boats as long as there
is the (slightest danger that the
investment may be destroyed by
permitting the railroads to charge
less for the longer haul than for
the shorter haul. I want to say.
Mr. President, that, as far as I
am concerned, if it is going to be
the policy of this government to
permit violations of the fourth
section; to destroy water transpor
tation upon our rivers and water
transportation through the Pana
ma canal, then I have cast "my
last vote for appropriations for
rivers and harbors." ? f
The rivers can not compete with
the railroads, and now we have
added i highways. With our im
mense, trucks it is still more im
possible than ever to use the riv
ers. The harbors we can use be
cause of our foreign trade, but
coastwise trade is gone forever.
When , the Roosevelt highway is
completed in western Oregon the
last vestige of coastwise trade will
disappear in this state.
OUR FOREIGN TRADE
John W. Davis offers as a pana
sea a democratic tariff bill. This
might be all right, but for ! the
unfortunate fact that we have had
several democratic tariff laws and
they have been market killers.
Mr. Davis believes if we would
lower the tariff the foreign coun
tries would more quickly pay the
twelve billion dollars that they
owe us.
The plain English of this Is to
reduce the tariff so as to enable
their cheap labor to come In here
and American labor can whistle
while the market is being supplied
with cheap goods from abroad:
That may appeal to some people,
but it does not appeal to the man
who is a member of the tin buck
et brigade.
The foreign trade In July this
year f sustained an unfavorable
merchandise balance of $400,000;
imports in July were practically
$4,000,000 greater than In June.
On the other hand exports dur
ing July were $28,000,000 i; less
than in June and $24,000,000 less
than July last year.' It wilt oc
cur to any man who thinks that
if this country needs anything,
it needs to increase the tariff.
With the balance against us it
Is a mighty tough proposition , to
talk pt still lowering the tariff.
The present tariff law is work
ing well. Until recently we have
been; selling ' more abroad than
we have been purchasing. The
huge; unemployment of the coun
try is being I gradually taken up
and prosperity is becoming more
general. M
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
It has been a favorite sport for
older people to tantalize the young
by telling them of the good old
days of our daddies. As we grow
older we understand that this is
a figment of the imagination; hat
while today seems hard, yesterday
always seems easier, the day be
fore yesterday was a glorious day
when the sun shone all day. This
is brought to mind by an article
In. the Aumsville Star, under the
above heading. It says: ; ;
"Talking to a pioneer of : this
section recently we said something
about 'the good old days,' and he
smiled and told us a few things
that made us wonder If they were
as good as they were cracked up
to be. He said as late as 1875 a
blacksmith made about $2.30 a
day, a common laborer $1 to $1.25
and; a carpenter, was lucky to get
$2.50. Wheat; sold at $1.75 In
1816 at 99c In 1845 and at 58c
as late as 1894;" 0 ' -'
LOOKING AT MARS
The last few days have been
wonderfully interesting ones' for
astronomers and scientists i who
turned their attention to Mars.
It will be months before the final
conclusions are reached and the
chances are there never will be an
aereement. ' There 'are 'so inariy
' theories advancedlhat' It w ill bo
&
Soon to be
mpossible ever to reconcile them.
So many of the scientists are see
ing things that they will never
come into accord.'
It will be; a good many years
before Mars ! gets; this close again
but the chances i are that by the
time it Is we will perfect our In
struments to such an extent that
we will, be able to see something
definite. f -
THE THIRD TICKET
The Oregon Statesman does not
believe that La ; Follette would
make a good president. lie is a
man in broken health and (69
years of age. He has had 25
years of strenuous political fight
ing. He has lost his vigor, lost
his punch, lost everything but his
ambition, his will and his hatreds.
If by any mischance the third
ticket should, be elected, the
chances are! largely that La Fol
lett will not live out his term.
That would mean! Burton K.
Wheeler as president of the United
States. Is anything more needed
to cause the people to turn to
old party tickets. If there is a
man in America unfit to be presl-
dent it is
Wheeler.

MAKING A PROFIT
There is talk that our roads cost
good deal of money, but there
is one angle on them that we fail
to j see. In addition to being a
great convenience to us as money
savers In the i handling of our
own business, they are paying. a
good dividend put of the profits
of tourist travel. '
Tourists will leave several mil
lion dollars in Oregon this year,
estimated as high as $15,000,000.
and they use the roadsfor which
they pay in this way. ' They pay
a big dividend to the people of
Oregon on the highways they use,
in addition to paying the gasoline
tax for every mile they travel in
the state, it:
IT IS TO LAUGH
John Wj Davig is not a , brave
man. He made a vary brave dec
laration the Other day but -he
showed his anxiety by asking
Coolidge to join in afterwards. Mr.
Davis knows no politician would
do this. He simply got scared at
the sound of his own voice.

"Hello, lady! I see you still
have the usual complement : of

mother-in-law didn't quite dis

Lillian came into my room with
her usual; breeziness of manner,
and stopped short at the sight of
me. 1 i h t ....
"What's the matter?" she asked
with quick concern. 'You look
as If you'd jUst received a com
munication from one of Flam
marlon's unintelligent spirits."
"Nothing so interesting," I re
turned, forcing a - smile, fearful
that in some manner I would be
tray to her keen eyes the shock I
had received at the sight of the
handkerchief : hearing Grace Dra
per's embj-oidery upon it- "But I
have a miserable headache, and
Mother Graham hasn't been - ex

"I hav a better medicine," she
replied, and I guessed that she
had detected my subterfuge and
would not embarasa me with any
further solicitude. "I have just
come from your ; father's "room,

going over that code 'you deciph

"The code I deciphered." I re
turned protestingly. "What ut

."Except that "one necessary In

desty is all right, but the truth is
something else again.! Besides,
you are interrupting Ine" this
with an assumption -x.f severity
which I saw was not all mockery.
That she was elated, triumphant
about something, I who know evr
ery line of her features every ex
pression, could tell, although one
less used to her would j have sup
posed her carelessly free from
emotion, i
"I'll be good," I jt promised
laughingly, i j
"You'd better!" she threatened.
"Indeed, i-you really don't deserve
to be told that because of that bit
of work you sat up all night to do
you've given us a' strangle hold on
a dangerous cobra- And it's & ser
pent which otherwise i bade" fair
to plant some mighty effective
venom in the body politic."
,'Oh, Lillian!" My pulses bound
ed with tumultuous pride. "Real
ly?" ;
"I Have a Hunch."
"Very much really, also certain
ly,' she returned. "Not that our
journey is over, by any; means. In
deed, there are ' several mighty
bumpy and devious detours along
the route, and the car will proba

hours in repair garages, but; we've

She was the incarnation of
swift, ruthless, pursuing justice
as she stood erect with brilliantly
glinting eyes, summing up her
case in metallic, closely-clipped,
business-like accents. I reflected,
not for the! first time, that I would
much prefer her as an ally than as
an antagonist. j
'You've heard nothing. ! from!
Katherine?" I asked, With her
reference to the man; Joe in my
mind. ..; : ! , i .
"No, but when we do hear, it
wilt be iri a mighty ! Interesting,
though short session,! I imagine.
However, Joe isn't my chief worry.
He's only evil, while Smith is dan
gerously near insanity, he has
brooded over his i devilment so
long. Don't think I'm officious;
but I wish! you'd keep close to co
ver for the next few; days. I'm
glad the Dicky-bird is perched In
another forest- Smith owes you
both a distinct grudge for that
Catskill business, and I'm afraid
he'll try to pay it off before Jae
leaves. I shall be mighty glad
when Allen gets through with him.
I have a hunch the gentleman will
be so thoroughly cowed that even
his half-crazed brain I will realize
the necessity of going away from
this vicinity and never, j never
coming back." r !
"You're still planning to let
him go free?" I tried! to keep out
of my voice the fear of the man.
Smith, which is mine, i
! "Not free," she corrected. "He
will always be under surveillance,
but he will not know it. On the
contrary, he will imagine that he
has managed very cleverly to es
cape from Allen's custody, and he
will give' this section a wide
berth. ,' ' :.v
"Yes," she went on In answer
to my unspoken thought, "it is a
risky thing, but he happens to be
the best clue we have to the big
brained,; powerful personality be
hind this whole thing whose lden
tity we have not yet discovered.
So we must play out the line with
this chap and let him run for
awhile. - But he'll be gof fed at the
last, and! the king fish with him
So don't worry. Just be careful.
You'd better lie down if you have
a headache, don't you think? So
long." and she was gone.

BY GYPSY CROWD
. (Continued from paga 1)
the whole flock of other Mitch
ells tagged along. Riding bird on
the crew was no little task for the
traffic man, but he was master of
the occasion. Wails proceeded
when Judge P, J. Kuntx levied a
tine of $10 for speeding. There
was not that much money In the.
entire cowd. Judge Kuntz was in
formed. Believing them not, he
ordered the machine locked up in
the Western garage until payment
of the fine was made.
Mrs. Mitchell and her flocK
parked themselves on the court

through the entrance with a big
touring car. . .

station. Mrs. .Mitchell, ignoring
all of the several chairs, calmly
seated herself on the floor, with
her - back against the wall, and
proceeded to enjoy a cigarette
while the little Mitchells strewed
watermelon rinds about and let
the juice trickle on the . floor.,
Finding that the floor covering,
coated with the watermelon juice
made an excellent skating and
sliding place, the Mitchell progeny
started in to enjoy themselves,
much to the dismay of Sergeant
George D. White, who had charge
of the desk. Seeking to rid him
self of the visitors Sergeant White
sent out officers to bring in otheds
of the tribe, but none would pay
the fine levied In justice court.
The police sergeant turned them
back "to the justice . court and
Judge P. J. Kuntz, who was called
a "stuckup and highbrow" by Mr.
Mitchell, and back to the justice
court they went. -Through some
mysterious means the $10 was
produced, the fine paid, the ma
chine released and with a great
sigh of relief the officers watched
the unwelcome visitors leave Sa
