In the crowd that assembled there was a sprinkling of men and women who lived on "French Prarie" when that strip of land running back to around Gerv&is and old St. Louis was ail there was of the farming section of Oregon ; With Champoeg the central point, because the trading post and warehouse of the Hudson's Bay company was lo cated there i Placed there because it was the first point on the Wil lamette river where the wide expanse of open prairie met that stream; convenient for the landing of the small boats of the traders. V '' - - " 5 There were good speeches, and much friendly visiting of the old timers at the reunion on Sunday ; -And among the speakers was Eva Emory Dye, author of Old Oregon books and historian of the days when the J Oregon country was foreign territory. Mrs. Dye, in the course of her talk, made the statement that Dr. McLough lin came to the Oregon Country as the result of an inter esting episode of his young manhood. He was a medical student at Montreal, Canada, and was- walking with a young lady who might have become his bride, wKen they were met on a narrow .walk bjr a British officer with his red coat and otherwise, brilliant uniform ; and the soldier rudely swept them -aside, landing -the young lady in the mud by the side of the walk; whereupon, his Scotch ire up, young McLoughhn resented the insult with blows And Canada was immediately too warm for him; he became a fugitive, and joined the Frasers in their trapping expedition the Frasers after whom theFraser river was named. This led to his joining the historic Hudson's Bay company and becoming their chief factor and virtual gover nor of the whole vast Pacific northwest country. F.'X. Mathieu, when a young man in Canada, joined a historic rebellion against the rule of the British government in that' country, and became a fugitive and drifted west with the trappers. , Mathieu was one oi tne lew men ot Tencn gescent wno ' : , . ii '; :a -aa- n try Art .1 ijtji it VOieu wun me majority on -may xoto, wjucn ueciueu me Oregon Country for United States territory instead of a Brit ish colony. And Dr. McLoughim was a iriena 01 tne early "covered wagon immigrants who came later in their "trains" drawn by ox teams, to wrest irrevocably from his country's domin ion the Oregon Country over which he heid sway. " These two runaways from Canada changed the course of history. The insolence of the red-coated British officer led to the saving of many precious lives of distressed Oregon pioneers. The hot young blood of Mathieu, stirred in patri otic zeal, was ordained by the Ruler of the universe to be come instrumental in placing the Stars and Stripes over a vast domain out of which have been carved four great states of the Union. SUICIDES ARE The death rate from suicide is now decreasing in trie United States; a lowering rate .being shown at all ages -. The most favorable , showing being made in the age group from 10 to 19 years; a welcome thing, considering alarming reports of a few months ago; especially referring to the students of eastern schools V ! And the recent study was made largely to ascertain ;whether there was any justification for the feeling of alarm that followed press comments early in, the year. The study was made by tne statisticians ; And it is' further gratifying that the age group 20 to 29 made the next best showing of decreases, and the age group 30 to 59 the next; the age group over 60 showing the lowest relative, decreases, though the footings indicate a recession even irt that group The very opposite is shown of what might have been expected, from alarming publicity reports. The concluding paragraph of the summary of the analysis is as follows: "The conclusion, seems to be that suicide among the older persons is occasioned by stresses of a more; fundament al and irremedial character than in the case of younger per sons, and, hence, is less amnable to" reduction. ; Suicide, in youth, is" no doubt committed in many instances;. under pro vocation that, on reflection, would appear insignificant even to the victim." -"'' v HEALTH ' (Portland Telegram.) It la Interesting to note that speakers at the opening session of the Oregon State Medical society meeting, at j Salem emphasize. In their several fields the Importance of .preventive rather than cur ative practice. . " . - ? , One doctor discusses the 'thyroid gland as provocative of dis ease; another, tells of sterilization provided under Oregon 'laws as a preventive means of eliminating feeble mlndedness; another gives common sense suggestions for avoiding those shocks to the ear drum that occasion deafness, and ! all agree - on the Importance of IViaAV vimw m , J ' VJ K7vaaa tat . ww - vr u0wwvfS . nuu nip In the bud the beginning of Illness. A generation or two ago, it was the ambition of the young med leal student to snatch an imperiled victim "from the jaws of death by some spectacular display of skill. , Now the conscientious phy sician considers It a greater victory to reach his patient first, rather than the eleventh hour. The old-fashioned doctor was altogether occupied with repair work, with machinery. The modern doctor Statesman Ralph H. KleUin Advertising Manager E. Martin - Sunt. Merhaifiral lpt W. H.

One of the encouraging features and surprises to financial authorities is the continued volume of exports to foreign countries, coupled with "the mounting lending business on foreign account, the latter now amounting in one class to $14,000,000,000 of foreign bonds taken in this country since the close of the World war. Champoeg now has electric lights. It was a long struggle that was made in securing this modern convenience. But that historic shrine has.no telephone. It will take about $150 to secure the telephone poles that will admit of the extension of the wires to the memorial building" by the mon ument. Why not get up a pilblic sucscription and have the telephone ? Albert Tozier will contribute $5. The States man will contribute $5 more. That is $10. Who will be the next to subscribe? And the ing of the $150? Up to August 31 inclusive, 16,837 cars had entered Champoeg park thi3 year. The' size of the vro- cession of patriotism is constantly growing. Speaking of the proposed hew evening paper, projected by strike voting printers and their sympathizers, it perhaps might be well to remark in: passing that The Statesman is well on its 77th year, and it jwill be hale and hearty when it reaches its 177th year, and young and lusty as such instil tutions go. And The Statesman has lived to see a very well filled newspaper graveyard, which will likely have its potter's field enlarged from time to time as the years come and go. The Statesman has no professional jealosies, and nothing but good wishes for every legitimate newcomer, for which a growing city and country will provide room and a welcome. But there is no call for spite organs, which al ways and everywhere have short and troublous and useless lives.

The Portland News is jumping onto the state institution for the feeble minded; the burden of its song being the idea that there are persons there who are not feeble minded. But the News seems to be taking the word of the inmates themselves.

It would be a-burning same If any newspaper were able to create a rift in. the wonderful work being done at the Oregon institution, on the word of inmates who imagine they are capable of self support on the outside,' to say nothing of the propagation of a brood of their own kind. The latter idea is what seems to be one of the leading thirgs giving cause for this Port land newspaper's attack. KOZEFTS TERM QUERIED PORTLAND, Sept. C.

PART THREE THEIR ELDERS There was one thing about Helen which her contemporaries appreciated but which posterity has apparently lost sight of. She was a most stable character; noth ing of fickleness was in her. Once sbe set her mind on a thing r on a person, for that matter there was no gainsaying her. For example, she wanted Hermione to inspect Pyrrhus before committing herself to Orestes. Hermione was rebellious. . . . Now go on with the story. Chapter I "If you insist on knowing my reasons," said Hermione, "they are tpre, as nearly as I can take an inventory at short notice. In the first -place, I don't love him. ' In the second place, I do love Orestes In the third place, Pyrrhus is a good deal of a brute, from all I have heard, and the "strong-handed sort of husband doesn't appeal to nte. Let Pyrrhus come; J will look at him, as you wish, and then he can go home. All this talk makes me care less for him every day." "If my object were merely to arrange a marriage between yon and Pyrrhus," said Helen, "I cer tainly would not talk so much about it. But it is your education I have set my heart on, even mere than your marriage. We of the elder generation have a point of view, you know. It comes from having brought children into the world. We wish to give them a better life than we had. The only way is to put our experience at their disposal. But nothing an noys the young so much. Now I don't pretend to know, everything about love, but I know a great deal more than you do, and your three reasons for not. considering Pyrrhus seem to me absurd." "They don't . seem absurtt to me," said Hermione, "and'l'm the one who has to decide." "You are." said Helen, '"and 1 want you to decide with your eyes open, without deceiving yourself. I'm not asking you to lose your heart to -Pyrrhus, I'm giving you fair warning, that though .you haven't seen him, and though you are, now, as you think, in love with another' man; you may wjsh you belonged to Pyrrhus, body and soul, twenty-four hours after you have met him." ' . "If you mean that Orestes Isn't so remarkable a person" as - Pyr rhus," said HermJone,,,MI am will ing to accept your opinion: That is, I don't agree with it," but I don't mind your thinking so. You may be quite right. But that Is no reason why I should hesitate noment when my heart Is commit ted once for all. I believe there Is a destined mate for each orie of us, if we are Jonly lucky enough to jtWill ":7.

I know the feeling well. I've had it several times, for dif ferent men." "You don't believe in people be Irg spiritual mates?" ' "They may become bo in time," said Helen, "but it takes a great deal of adjustment, so much so that rather than be pessimistic about the accuracy of heavenly patterns. I'd rather say there are no predestined couples, no separat ed parts which brought together make a harmonious whole. You can't believe that spiritual mate nonsense, my daughter, 'after the experience of having two or more sincere men in love with you at once. Both think you are their fate, and when you choose one, the other wiirnever be convinced that you knew what your fate was. Very probably you didn't." "Mother, you talk as though nothing were stable in this world," said Hermione. "I can't agree; it seems impious. I prefer to be loyal." - - ... "Nothing is stable. in this world, Hermione, unless we ourselves are so," said Helen. "Loyalty is an achievement in our character you don't find it growing around you like a plant, or hitting you like lightning. There's a world of difference between loyalty and love. Lovers are often loyal, from youth to. old age, and their con stancy is all the more admired for not being natural. When once you marry, love may leave you, but the problem of loyalty never will. . I want you to choose the man to whom it will be easiest in the long run for you to be loyal. You say you are In love with Ores tes now. I warn you that you may be quite as much ; in love later with some one else. You would tf ll me, I'm sure, that the second love can be resisted and should be. I agree that It can be and so can the first." "Well, If you feel this way about-love," said Hermione, "I can't see why you didn't stay with my father. You could very well have resisted your" love for Paris; you could have set me an example of loyalty. I am confused, I must confess, between what you have done and what you .advise." "Dear t child," said Helen, "there's no .connection between them!" "That's what I thought!" said Hermione. "No, indeed." said - Helen. "I should never In the world advise you to do what I've done. It would be useless. You - couldn't do it. And even if you could, you haven't my reasons for it."

"I had no intention of justify ing my, life, Hermione, but your question made me think of the reasons for my actions, whether they are justified or not. Let me advise you no tto justify your life after it is lived; at that stage it will speak for itself. I discuss your life so much because it is still in the future; what you have once done, however, I shall say nothing about." - r -. . "I meant no discourtesy," said Hermione, "and I do see why you are different from other- people. You are so beautiful that ordinary rules seem not to apply."., "They didn't apply," said Helen, "but they ought to have done so, and I wanted them to. That is the whole trouble. No one has .the right to shut us out from any part of life, not even from hard things, from the sorrows and Bufferings. They always said I was beautiful, but the only effect ! could notice was that they treate me as if I weren't a human being. My whole life has been, an attempt to put myself back among other people, to make sure I wasn't missing any thing. If I did wrong when I was , a child, I wasn't punished. As a young girl, foolish and- inexper ienced, my mistakes never brought me to harm. In marriage at least I expected to find reality; living with a man, I thought, would bring home to me the mortal drama in which we are supposed to be playing our parts. But I was more sheltered than ever practi cally immune to life. "I gave my self to Paris because I loved him, but somewhere in my thoughts was the hope that our love, would actually be 'the great tragedy It seemed to promise, and that In the end I should suffer and feel. But my days in Troy might have been so many seconds in a dream; no one took me seriously; no one, not even Priam, upbraided me lor ru ining the city. When the end came, I said to myself, I shall livo at last, for Menelaos will -purely kill me. Your father will -never know what was In my mind as I saw the anger go out of his face, and that sheltering look come back into it. It isn't exactly that he has forgiven me, but - I am not counted In the same 'world with other peopleI'm a sort of wraith.

But In my search for the real thing3, I've learned to grasp at strict honesty with myself and complete frank ness about, myself with other peo ple; It's my only hope.
