When an army of Willamette valley bankers and business
men swooped down ' on j Portland and asked for comparatively
small subscriptions to a linen mill, didn't it occur to you that
Portland should meet the request? ' , . ; j
It is a proposal for aj new industry; It is an effort to
, open up one more avenue for diversified agriculture. It is an
endeavor to add to ; Oregjon ; industry i a highly important
branch of production every step of which has been tried and

I process of manufacturing. j ; ; S : f y - ' 1

three-fourths of the cost off the lineri mill and business. ;

THE STATE
Members of the state game and fish commissions' are re

costs. It will be remembered that during the last session of

governor should be vested elsewhere. The state, legislature

It costs the state a considerable amount, however, for this ad
ministration including court procedure in cases' of violations
of the fish and game laws. ' ' T' 1 'ti
It is devoutly hoped in the name of efficient government
and a square deal to the state that the day will speedily com
in Oregon -when these and! all other funds of the varioui
boards and commissions will be controlled by the state itself.
And that all expenses of the 'government will be paid through
the state treasury. The position of the fish and game com.
mission toward the referendum is not relished by the general
public and the result will be to arouse still further antagonism
than now exists to these two jdepartments of the state govern
ment. The state SHOULD BE supreme over its departments.

WHY MADGE REPRESSED - AN
EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
TO CLAIRE
The sound of Claire Foster's
French heels clicking down the
stairs had not died away when the
solution of her odd behavior flash
ed upon me, and I rushed to the
door with the wild idea of calling
her back. .
Her hair in kid -curlers, her
soiled, eloppy negligees, her ap
parent laziness and, carelessness
concerning the - household duties,
her catty speeches toward me, the
outrageous gown she had worn to
the restaurant dinner even her
last audacious invitation to Dicky
to come to see her. all fitted
themselves into' a ' clear pattern,

She had been trying to disgust
Dicky with herself this was,' her
atonement for the reckless.

her! . :v ; j. fr
Remorse for my bitter anger
against her shook me as the fall
details for her pitiful scheme re
vealed themselves, and I was half
way down the first flight of stairs
before my ! common sense halted
me with a pertinent question.
"What are you going to say to
her when you reach her?"
I laughed a trifle bitterly as I,
vlsnalUed myself f telling Claire
that I realized she had been try
ing to disillusion my husband, and
that I was grateful to her. No, It
was something that never could
be named between us, and I went
slowly up the stairs again, my
heart softened toward- the effort
the girl had made, but filled also
with the little demonstrations of
doubt and suspicion to which I had
been a prey since Mother Graham's
discovery of Claire's photograph In
Dicky's desk. : ,
Madge la Troubled
I felt cold and found myself
shivering when I had closed the
door Into the hall. So I snatched
a' warm woolen blanket from the
foot of one of the beds, wrapped
myself in it and curled up on the
couch. : I had the absurb instinct
to bury my head in the pillow, as
if I were a child afraid of a bogey
man, and Indeed I was afraid of
the thoughts which came throng
ing upon the heels of the discovery
I had Just made. : y y

it was recalled, dealt with what
the Idaho senator looked upon as
a growing tendency of the federal
government to Interfere " w i t h
state's 'ights, the creation of too
many inquisitorial boards and
bureaus, and the regulating of the
pursuits of industrials and cor

Referring to Senator Borah by

not be passed by without examin

Senator Cummins dealt ir.di

he said, that they were not adopt -
ed hurriedly and did not impose
hardships upon the states. Of
commissions and boards, the Iowa
senator said:
"Who among those who are so

Salem, April 19.
Editor Statesman:
I believe that the Alexander
Grant referred to .in this a. m."s
Statesman was the "A" Grant
who was connected with the North
Front street flouring mills (Scotch
mill) In the 80's and '90's. He
was a member of the Presbyterian
church. After the mills were
closed down he acted in the capa
city qf caretaker (if I mistake
not) until his death, which must
have occurred more than, 10 years
! ago possibly 15 yearsi I've for
gotten what became-of the family.
By inquiry of the IOOF cemetery
authorities you 1 can, no doubt,
learn all necessary information
about the man, and possibly whe-
ther the entire family Js reposing
l beside him.
I have not -referred you to the!
church as, generally, few statistics !
are available. Besides, the church ,
clerk is rather a "newcomer" and 1 !
would have no old statistics stored
in his cranium. Tommy (T. G.)
Albert may be able to assist you
with information in this case.
Should Mrs. Grant be still liv
ing (which I doubt) I hope there
will be some .insurance money
coming to her. " i i
