In the passing of William Mc- Murray at Portland yesterday, Or egon loses a wise and influential friend, and the flax and linen in dustries a powerful sympathizer and. helper; He was born in the flax and linen district of Ireland, and he took an interest in flax growing and manufacturing all the time he was general passenger agent of the Harriman lines in this territory.; He was a friend of the Iae Mrs, .W.:.P. Lord, and aided her in early flax experiments here. He .died a stockholder of the Ore gon Linen Mills,- Inc. . in the or ganisation ot which, enterprise he alaed. It f was partly r through the enthusiasm' of ;William McMurray that the- late: B- H. Harriman, the colossus Of the railroad and finan cial . worlds, became interested, in promoting the ; flax and linen in dustries, of the.. Willamette valley. to such an extent that he was' car rying on investigations when death overtook-him that would .no doubt have led to. great and swift devel opments in this field had he been spared in his dynamic vigor for a little' while ' longer. He - would have done at one stroke ;W hat is now being accomplished and will be. developedthrough a term of years. The wnoie state or uregon, and this entire northwestern coun try, will miss the constructive and far sighted work of William Mc Murray.. t EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPJ-E AH Mmtpoadane for this depart mont mutt b sign by- tha wriwr, aart bo written on em aid of tit papor only, and aaoold not bo loasr t&aa 150 words.

They tell us the Bible is not true, but they can not prove it. I do not un derstand evolution, but I under stand what the dictionary says about it. But it appears that great scientists in that great city that is robbing and cheating jus tice thinks he understands evolu tion and now comes the Capital Journal and says, "in the death of Luther Burbank our world loses one of its most useful men. Per haps it's most useful." It has been said that Luther Burbank was an infidel. If he was he probably nas done more to prove the Bible' Is true than any infidel that ever lived. Why? Because the good book says man has sought out many inventions, and it has been said he was a Mason If he was a Mason and was an in fidel when ho was made a Mason it was a disgrace and shame to God and the Masonic order Why? Because if he was an in fidel when he was made a Ma son he did not tell the truth to God and man. Then comes Judge Lindsay and says Burbank was the world's most contented man But the Savior said to his disci ples, rejoice not because the. dev ils are subject to you ; rather re joice to know your names are written In heaven. And if Bur bank was an Infidel outwardly it is to be hoped he was not inward ly, although he did not let ..his light shine to the world as we are commanded to do, and it appears his light went out and . we know not where. And I believe the Bi ble is true regardless of what the scientists, evolutionists, and inl? dels rosy say or do. But the poet says God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. He plants His feet upon the sea and rides upon the storm. The great est, grandest and noblest thing I ever did was seek and find the noiy gnost religion wnen X was young. '. S. B.

How Clay Wales T hated " them. Prom his fearljest youth he remembered his mother as one prone to cry on the slightest provocation, .it was her whip. He had grown up to de spise tears, to feel them as if they were acid. And here was his bride crying. . . 'Oh, please, dear," he pleaded. "I didn't mean it." He kissed her Several times but her lips did not cling with that warmth which al ways was so thrilling. "Please forgive me. please. I didn't mean to hurt you." This is what he al ways said to his mother when he thought he was to blame for mak ing her cry. At the same time he hated her and he hated himself. ' No eye is lovely when it's well ing tears, whatever the poets say. Clay, so used to seeing Eve at her best, now saw her at her worst, with bleary orbs, wisps of hair straying about her face, tightly pressed lips. Instinctively she sensed this and was ashamed, for she jumped out of his lap and ran into the bathroom. Clay sat staring out of the win dow. He wasn't ready to admit to himself that he had provoked this display. He got up to complete his dress ing, and his eyes fell upon the paper.

He suddenly thought that he would like to be a hotel clerk. He remembered the offi cious person who had received them on arrival. Drcr.3ed well; got to meet all the celebrities; probably lived in the hotel. There was an idea He became aware of the fact that the bathroom door was slightly open and that Eve was peering out at him. Slowly the door opened and she came toward him, her eyes, cast down. Then, like a child, she climbed into his lap again and buried her fare be tween his neck and shoulder. . . . LINOLEU At the C. S. Hamilton Furniture Co.

Her fingers closed over his mouth. Here they eat in silence, until Clay spoke. "I want to go down the street and get some ties and collars and things. You be ready when I come back and we'll go out to lunch." She clung to him more tightly. ''No. don't go.". "I won't be gone but a minute." "Let me go with you." She couldn't bear the thought of his being out of her sight. "But all right, i Get ready." "You go outside tor a few min utes." Smiling broadly, he complied. Though he wasn't expecting any, Clay went nonchalantly up to the hotel desk to inquire for mail, using the opportunity to get a closer view of the clerk and the office surroundings. Ah, if only he could get the position! A package was promptly produced. He scanned the address: "Mr. and Mrs. Clay Wales, Greathouse ho tel. Chicago, Illinois." It was strange to see Mr. and Mrs. on his mail. Eve came up to his side. "What is it. what is it?" "I don't know. Let's leave it here until we come back." "No, let's look at it now. . . . Oh, I wonder what it is." Rhe took the package from him. "It's heavy, isn't it?" "Weighs 9Vi pounds." he re plied, with shipping room accu racy. f . Pulling him by the arm she led the way to a lounge in the corner Clay took the package back and beKan to pull the strings. "No, let me," she protested. "It's addressed to me as well." "ALL RIGHT! As if it is of any importance who opens it." Nevertheless, he surrendered it re luctantly. Ooh! A silver teapot appeared from out of the box and wrappings "And ooh! Look!" She brought out cream pitcher, sugar bowl and hot water mug to match. "Isn't it lovely! I wonder who sent it." Clay's thought was John In gate. That was the name he ex pected to see on the card her fin gers produced from the inside of the pot. Instead the paper bore the legend: "Bast wshes and three ARMSTRONG'S latest' in Hand Craft Tile.

Oh, I'm sorry that you've married such? a poor bride," eho faltered. ! "Shut up, he said, with mock severity. "Just for that I'm going without kissing you." But she blocked the door and cancelled this declaration. Outside, in the balmy air, he felt a curious freedom. He was him self again. A great hotel bulked against the heavens across the way. THERE would be a wonder ful place to be a clerk. . . He wondered if there would be any chance of him getting such a po sition there.! . . Impulsively, ho turned across the street and went into the hotel. (To be continued) In the next instalment: Dot's Sonic Thinking.
