THE ALL WATER ROUTE Those who read the news story yesterday concerning the shipments of linen yarn to the eastern mills no doubt noted the fact that these consignments from Salem go by water By the all water route, down the Willamette by boat to Portland ; a transfer in the harbor there to the holds of ocean soing vessels of the American Hawaiian line, and then out to sea and through the Panama canal and on to the southern and eastern ports where are located the weaving mills using the yarn spun by the Oregon Linen Mills, Inc. This gives the advantage of cheap freights, enables the Salem manufacturers to deliver the yarn in tubes ready for the bobbins of the spinning concerns; gives the buyers of the yarn a 20 per cent advantage in expense under the cost of labor in handling imported yarns in hanksbesides the tar iff advantage of getting the Oregon yarns duty free. This is a fair sample, in a very small way, for the present, of what still water in the Willamette the year through will mean to the industries on the land and in the towns and cities of this great valley- ' We will have all water transportation to the-great mark ets of the whole world. This vision, which, is a true vision of the near or far future, is enough to stir the enthusiasm, of any lover of this Kreat valley and this great state. It will mean millions piled on millions annually in good time for this valley. (Portland JournaL) A lawyer has been hired and Harold Lotridge, 25, Flint, Michigan, will fight for the $8000 reward that is to be paid somebody for the apprehension of Hotelling, the Michigan beast. Lotridge and Hotelling belonged to the same church. Both were at the annual church meeting a day or two after the murder of the little girt. Lotridge succeeded to the vacancy as deacon made by the election of Hotelling as elder. That night Lotridge had a strange dream in which he seemed to see the murder reenacted. Deeply impressed by the dream, Lotridge told his father about it the next morning. "Why, that fits Adolph Hotelling," the father exclaimed as the story was finished. "I know it does," said the son; "that is what makes it so terrible." The story of the dream reached the police. They ques tioned young Lotridge. For a time they suspected him, and threw him into jail, where he was searchingly questioned. But his answers were so straightforward that he was finally released and Hotelling arrested. Are there thought waves? Undoubtedly at that church meeting, where young Lotridge was in close contact with Hotelling, the facts of the child slaying must have been surging in Hotelling's thoughts. Did thought waves resu that communicated themselves to Lotridge and caused his dream? One thing is sure: we poor worms know very little about things all around us, as we are finding out from each new and startling marvel whose secret is unlocked. The chosen location of the incinerator, for the incinerator itself is all right. Any location mentioned was an ngm, for the incinerator considered by itself. But it is all wrong for the future, because the incinerator and the future sewage disposal plant ought to be together, and the sewage disposal plant must be below the level of the city. A WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTION Prof. Morton E. Peck, head of the biology department of Willamette university, which place he has held for 20 years, has in vacation periods and other odd times, during all this long span of his teaching career here, been tramping the fields and forests and pastures and the highways and by ways, collecting the specimens of the vegetable kingdom found in this section And in his wanderings Prof. Peck has been accompanied a great deal of the time by Mrs. Peck. But these wanderings have been far from aimless. Prof, and Mrs. Peck have during that time collected about 17,000 specimens of the plant life that is indigenous to the Willam ette valley. Last summer, a man hi?h up in the world of botany visited Salem and examined the collection of Prof. Peck, and hc pronounced it worth from $20,000 to $30,000; and he said that it would be fully worth the latter sum, if completed and catalogued and properly arranged for the convenience of students. Now, Prof. Peck is far from being a man of independent means. His' salary during the first part of the 20 year "period here was not munificent, "nor always paid promptly, 'iind it is necessarily not large now. The salaries of teachers generally are not princely. Even so, Prof. Peck has all along considered that he was working largely for the benefit of the university, and for the good of Oregon and the generations of student that are comine in the future. So he has not at any time re irarded the herbarium he was getting together as his prop erty, for his own gain. Now, however, the board of trustees of the university . has proposed that Prof. Peck be given a year, on full salary, to catalogue and complete the herbarfum, when it will be come the property of the institution, and he has gladly ac cepted. . He will go to Chicago and New York and the great in stitutions of the country, including the Smithsonian Insti tution at Washington. He will spend sufficient time to mket catalogue complete, and to collect rare specimens that are now lacking And all this will involve the printing of a book on the "Flora of Oregon." Can the reader think of a labor of love finer than this? The collection should certainly be named the Morton E. Peck collection, or the Morton E. Peck herbarium, just as the Condon collection of specimens of geological history at the University of Oregon is named for the Prof. Thomas Condon of blessed nfiemory, the man who spent a large part of his useful and unselfish life in collecting it. The OUTER GATE By OCTAVUS ROY COHEN okstbax rmsM as, is. Chapter SI - BOB TERRY went to worlc un der Al Gregory. He was expansive affability. Gregory did a great deal of talking to Terry as usual, saying little. He sensed that Carmody was keenly inter ested in Terry, and he himself felt that the young man furnished an invaluable contact between the circles in which he moved and the social plane on which the Bordens and the Merriweathers belonged. Work was made easy for the newcomer. In the first few weeks, he was given time to be come accustomed to the office and its routine, and gradually Al Gregory taught him the rudiments tiveneas which made Itself felt. He walked more like a free man now, and less with the rhythmic beat of the convict. He bad learned to speak occasionally and to meet the eyes of other people squarely Bob himself was unconscious of the changes being effected In him self. And Kathleen was too blind ly In love to analyze. That he wat better, she knew but she did not probe. She was content with the glorious results, and her dally contact with Terry brought to her a new beauty, a new vivacity and a new delight. The development which was oc curring In the lad was Che thing for which Lois Borden bad prayed. From the first he had ENTY-FIVE YEARS AG? (From columns of the States man, February 8, 1903) Chicago W.

Twenty million dollars goes out of Portland, to say nothing of the rest of the state, every year for goods mannfactured in other states and countries, that could be spent in Oregon for goods manufactured here that are just as good and in many instances better than the foreign products. That is the statement of the Oregon Manufacturers' asso ciation. The statement was made in an appeal for the sup port of Oregon-made goods by the people of Oregon. It was made in an effort to retain here the $75,000,000 that is now distributed In payrolls and to add to it through the expendi ture of $20,000,000 more here every year. A manufacturing industry brings wealth to Oregon. It brings people here. It creates payrolls. It creates markets for other Oregon products. Enough of a market, and more industries will come here. That all means more business and more wealth for Oregon people and a larger and strong er state. - When Oregon goods are as good, and as cheap as. foreign manufactured goods what possible argument can there be for purchase of the foreign products? Why build up another state at the expense of yourown and why send wealth abroad when it can be created and retained in Oregon? could afford to pay large fees for defense. And in this role the young ex-convict was brilliantly! uccessful. ! It was with these men par ticularly the one who had exper ienced the horror of the state pen itentiary that Bob Terry was at! ease. He talked their language! and understood their psychology. And they knew him; it seemed that everyone in the state knew Bob Terry and his story. They saw that he was bitter against so ciety and knew that he was a friend and an ally. And from them he extracted statements which Al Gregory never could have done. After that Gregory deftly directed the young man through interviews with possible witnesses, discovering what they knew about the case and what was of far greater Importance what they would testify on the stand. These men were not reticent with Terry. He had been In the penitentiary and could see things through their eyes. They knew that he was mentally one with them and followed their in stinct In trusting him. Within three months Bob Terry was known individually rather than as a mere employee in iarmouy a or ganization. Through all of this Carmody sat back In his private office ana watched. The machinery was be ainninr to work. The net was closing closing about Peter Bor den and about Bob' Terry. Car mody, cold and bloodless, was pa tient. He was keen and alert and willing to wait. Sooner or later he knew his opportunity would come, and when it did, he meant to deal with Terry even more forcefully than he did with Borden. Through Whispering Willie Weaver he kept in daily and intimate touch with tbe fi nancial difficulties being experi enced by the Berkeley Steel com pany, of which Peter. Borden was nart owner and operating vice president. And he missed no de tail of the development of the re lationship of Terry and Kathleen Shsnnon. There Carmody's perception was almost uncanny, for it was be who detected a new element In their relationship long before It became apparent, even to the girl. iOT was mat cum aij uuuuaiu.i for Kathleen gloriously bappy ltj her first love anew noining oi the change which regular work was making In Bob's attitude to ward the Bordens and particu larly toward Lois Borden. Lois Borden worried when Bob went to work for John Carmody It Indicated to her that he bad definitely cast his lot with the less desirable element in the clty'c social structure. But within a fortnight she saw that work 1 even witb Carmody was chang ing him. He was kept busy, ana mat in itself precluded the possibility of the long agoniiing days of brood ing. There was dally work to t dona and less time for contempla tion of bis own bitterness. Hit position modest enough in way yet carried a certain author! ta In her eyes he was no longer merely someone to be sorry for. but a man to be regarded as a man. And the pity remained a great, absorbing pity which she unconsciously dramatized. Lois visloned Bob as a vounj? man who was battling against au adverse fate; fighting desperately to re-establish himself in a world which had scourged bim cruelly. She saw the pathos which was there, and the drama but she added even more drama to it. And because of that she permitted her self to love him. She did not admit this to her self. But she knew It. and Bruce Richardson knew it, and was hurt and worried. Somehow, people did not mind hurting Bruce. They never knew they were hurting him. He had a way of smiling wistfully when he was cut deepest, and so when Lois admitted to him that Bob Terry was meaning more and more to her with the passing of) each day, he merely smiled and said that Bob was a fine young man and that he hoped the world would make up to him for its in justices. "There's only one thing that worries me, Bruce," she said. "Bob has never forgiven father." "Is that unnatural. Lois?" "No. I suppose not. But I get frightened sometimes. The way he stares at him occasionally, when father isn't looking his way. I see it, and he doesn't know that I do. It isn't exactly exactly human." "I suppose this bitterness smol dered in him during his three years down yonder. But it will pass." "Will it?" Of course. He's a different person now " "Yes. Ever since he went to work for John Carmody. But that is sinister, too. I don't want to be melo-dramatic. but you know, Bruce and so do I, that Carmody hates father. He'll never forgive that disbarment thing and I get the idea can't rid himself of It that there Is something more to his employment of Bob than an al truistic Interest." "Bob should prove quite valu able to him." "Because he understands the criminal element and their psy chology? "Yes. I understand that's what he's doing down there. Hasn't he told you?" Bruce was surprised. "No. I don't see much of him, Bruce. Only at meals, occasion ally. He's out a great deal es pecially since his friend Shannon was released from the penitenti ary." Her eyes clouded and she paused for a moment. "Have you heard anything else about Bob Terry?" "What do you mean?" "That girl Shannon's niece?" Bruce Richardson's thin, sens! tive face flushed. "I don't like to uess about things like that, Lois." "Things like what?" "A man's interest in a woman.' "Then ther is an interest?" "They're together a great deal or course, it might nierelv be be cause she is Shannon's niece. "But you dont think so?" "I den't know.' She turned on him passionately never suspecting- that she was cutting him to the quick. Lois probably knew that Bruce loved her -but somehow one took things for granted with blm. She would have been amazed to know that she was hurting him. "What Is she like?" "Kathleen Shannon?" "Yes." "We-e-11" he traced the pat tern of the rug with his toe "she is pretty." "Very?" "In her own way yes. Not your type. She's a sort of bru nette) that Is, black hair, but with a light complexion. And she's well. I'd call her vivid." "Different from me?" He smiled slightly. "Quite.
