Then was fulfilled thai whi?-h was spoken by Jeremy the pro
phet, saying. And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of
him that valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; And
arama them for the DOtter' field, as the Lord appointed me. Matthew
OUR GOLD AND OUR FORESTS
Gold is a masric word. It symbolizes riches. It stirs the
imagination. It is the yard stick of all values
And yet every year, according to a writer in the Eugene
Register, the value of the forest products alone of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia is 13 times greater than
the value of the entire gold'ouput of the United States.
All the gold mines of this nation produce annually about
$40,tKM),000 worth of gold. Each year the value of the for
st products of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia is
approximately $518,550,000.
California is the leading gold state, but not an outstand
ing timbered state. Yet each year the output of California s
forests is worth twice as much as the annual output of her
gold mines.
Each year, on the average, Oregon realizes 20 times a3
much from her forest products as California realizes from
her gold mines.
Our .timber is a splendid resource. By reforestation, it
can be made to last forever
And by the refinements of manufacturing it will be mul
tiplied in value; in the increased prices from paper and the
manufactures of paper; in the higher values of furniture
and all the special things made from lumber.
Some day, when Salem uses for these higher grade manu
factures the ripe forest growths annually harvested in her
tributary territory, with the employment of the available
"white coal" coursing down the streams that may be harn
essed for this work, the capital city will be great as a forest
products center.
AMERICAN COLLEGES IN NEAR EAST
initiative and referendum with one they w,ould select, and
when the time came they ran me up against W. S. TTRen,
the father of the scheme. The night of the debate the house
was not only packed, but the open windows and half of the
school lot. Well, we had a good time, and Mr. UKen and
myself, have been good friends ever since.
I always enjoyed going to the Rickey school house for
such gatherings, because I had splendid backing from the
Humphreys boys, the Gesners, the Culvers and the Glovers,
also Billy Tayor, Ed Hartley and the Craigs of Macleay.
The days when young and old Took a deep interest in the
discussion of policies pertaining to the life of the nation
are gone, and now one of Marion county's landmarks as a
neighborhood lyceum is also going. Many of the notable
characters of those earlier days have also passed away, and
the rest of us are gliding in their direction.
FRANK DAVEY.
Portland, Ore., April 5, 1928.
(While official duties hold Frank Davey in Portland for
the time being, his home is in Salem, and his house, too, and
he will alwavs be a Salemite. Ed.)
Great is this electrical age. The price of electric service
for home use has been decreased 15 per cent shce 1913,
while other commodities in the general cost of living are still
50 per cent higher than they were in 1913. If the price of
household electricity had increased since 1913 in the same
ratio as the cost of living, the average rate throughout the
nation today would be 14.3 cents per kilowatt hour, whereas
it actually is 7.4, which measured in terms of the 1913 dollar
would make it only 4.2 cents today. The resident lighting
customer has also had the benefit of the improvements in
the efficiency of lamps and material reduction in the price
of lamps. More than 23 times as much light can now be
obtained with the 40-watt mazda lamp for the same expense
as was obtained with the original 16-candle power carbon
lamp. The price of the mazda lamp is less than one-fifth
what it was when it was put on the market.
Six American colleges in the Near East are seeking an
endowment fund of $15,000,000
And more than $10,000,000 of this fund has already been
subscribed,
These schools, the best known of which is Robert College
at Constantinople, are remaking this part of the Orient
For example, the Turkish government is sending 24 young
men to Robert College to study engineering. They will be
used to install modern sewage systems, water supply and
electric lighting in interior Turkish towns.
At the university in Beirut the government of Iraq is
supporting 27 students, the government of Palestine seven,
the government of Ethiopia six, and the Soudan five
And nearly every modernizing influence which is lifting
this part of the world into line with scientific progress can
ben traced to these American institutions.
All the six colleges were founded by Americans; are most
ly financed by Americans. All of them are chartered by
either the state of New York or the state of Massachusetts.
This campaign for endowment is being pressed on the Pa
cific coast, and Dr. Bayard Dodge, president of the Ameri
can Unviersity of Beirut, will speak in Salem during April.
Every one of these schools is a radiating center of inter
national good will in a region which has always been the
seat and breeding place of wars
And they are factors of immense importance in creating
friendship for the United States in all the countries of that
region, where European nations, more often than not, are
regarded with suspicion, becuase of their supposed seeking
for self-aggrandizement.
America is the most highly idealized of nations in that
part of the world, because of the unselfish work of the
American colleges, and for the reason that this country has
no imperialistic or colonization enterprises there.
The American colleges deserve well of every citizen of
the United States; of every person on the globe who loves
his fellow men.
PLEASANT MEMORIES.
Editor Statesman:
The Rickey school house Is to go!
4 1 notice in The Statesman the successful vote to replace it
with a $5,000 building.
This brings back pleasant memories of stirring political
vtimes. - -
The Rickey school house was the scene of many an inter
esting and exciting discussion in the days long past, when
crowds from the neighborhood, from Macleay and from
Salem taxed its space to overflowing.
,?In the days of populism, free silver and other diverting
issues, the Rickey neighborhood was a hot-bed of partisan
contest and 'bitterness, and for years betwen 1890 and 1900
that school house was the forum in . which their forensic
battles were fought out.
f lJay Bowerman, since president of the state senate and
acting governor,, was a young man, son of a farmer in that
vicinity, and was then as now an ardent republican, though
. his father was a consistent prohibitionist and Jay had many
scraps with the rabid democrats and populists around there.

a half times those of New York. In Liverpool, he adds, such
arrests in proportion to population average four times as

liquid refreshment, arrests for intoxication per 10,000 of

to be admitted that Euroje has not been able to achieve

Lynda Fenton. a singularly in
nocent girl, is private secretary to

er deserted them, and that all
women have their price.
Lynda meets Emily Andrews
who cherishes a secret fondness
for Darid Kenmore, Lynda's com
panion from childhood. Emily
plots against Lynd afrom the very
beginning. David tells Lynda he
loves her, but she decides she
doesn't want to be in love with
any man. David is away on a
trip.
Lynda's father deserts her
Ralph Armltage pays her actful
compliments, and Claire Stanhope
comes to live with her. Claire
tells of innocent love for Fred
Blaque. a married man.
June Challer, who has annexed
money. Invites Lynda and Claire
and Emily to a big party. It's
Lynda's first real affair, and she's
enthused.
Emily secretly sends David a
tetter, suggesting that he come
home for the party, so that Lynda
may be made to feel at ease. Then
she sends him an anonymous note,
saying "Ralph Armltage la rush
ing yottr gtrL" David writes to
Lynda, admonishing her to beware
of Ralph Armltage.
Ralph has met with an accident.
and Lynda goes to his home to
take dictation. He's holding her

Hal Galbratth thought he un
derstood the situation perfectly.
Arm! evidently was off with Pa-
milla Sbeston. and , was trvinr to
get on with Lynda Fenton.
"Well." fas ssld, "I'm trely glad
old man. it's no worse than it is.
and I Just wanted you to know
that if you wished for anything
that I could do. you had only Xo
call me." Then rtainx. he asked
uan I do -any IRtie errand for
you today?" V
"The only thins -you can do.
Hal, is to keep that woman away
from my house. Miss Fenton will
answer my letters and telephone
calls for a day or two from the
office, but I expect to get down
tliero myself, at the lateat, by day
arter tomorrow'
The maid was wheeling in a
tea-cart that could be made into a
small table.
"Won't you stay for lunch. Hal?
I'm sure Miss Fenton will play
hostess for us."
Hal Ualbraith knew when he
was not wanted, and he an
swered: "No thanks, old man, I must be
toddling along."

"Com again, soon, won't von?
And tell all the. boys and girls that
I am not so badly hurt that 1 will
not be at June Challer's party."
1 "There, I'm glad he is gone!"
he exclaimed, as Hal Galbratth
left the room. "He's a .good chap,
and my best friend, bnt I can't see
why a man who has pretty nearly
got . himself killed can't wu
himself In his own way, with
whom he pleases, while he i? re
covering."
The maid set the table close to
Ralph's bed, and drew a chair for
Lynda beside it.
He had to eat slowly with hie
left hand, while Lynda served hlw
more delicacies than she knew ex
isted.
"Aren't you going to talk to roe
a little?" he finally asked, aa the
maid placed the Bar le Due and
Camembert cheese before them.
"I've been wanting to tell you
all the morning. Mr. Armltage.
how wonderful it was for you to
risk your life for a little, un
known child."
"That's nothing. I'd risk it
again, gladly, if I were sure I
would be rewarded by this lunch
eon with you. D oyou know, I'm
silly enough to think that food
has never tasted so good before
It has been much better, because
you served it, Lynda. Eating with
one's body In a caet. with one':
right arm bound to one's side4 has
its compensation, although you
might not think so."
"Don't intimate, Mr. Armltage.
that I am a compensation. Why
are you so modest? Tou know
that no thought of me passed lrto
your mind when yon turned into
the ditch yesterday afternoon."
"Why. It was the thought
vou that made me oblivious of the
child. I was cursing my fte that
I could never. y what I wanted
to. like an honorable man,-when
that child ran under the wheels.
"As Emily Andrews would say.
if yon gave her the chance, I've
fallen for you bard, iynoa. ana at
the present moment I am the hap
piest man on earth, because that
old joker. Fate, has let me live a

talus cup. dear held just beyond
my thirsting lips.
"Why did you paint your ador
able mouth again today? Here "
He held out a large handkerchief
of exquisite fineness. "Wipe off
that grease. It makes me think
that I am mistaken in you. It
takes you out of a class by your
self, and puts""you in with the
mob."
Lynda Fenton obediently wiped
her Hps. leaving a red smear on
the handkerchief. Ralph Arml
tage snatched it from her. and
carefully put it into the breast
pocket of a wonderful velvet rob
that covered his silken pajamas.
Lynda felt her heart beating
rapidly, as she caught his caress
ing eyes bent upon her. She asked
herself, was she , falling in love
too? She had forgotten all about
David.
"Now bring me my letters, and
will you put those pillows about
me a little closer?"
Lynda brought the letters, and
obediently bowed her lovely head
so that he could, by placing hi:
left arm about her neck, draw
himself up a little, only to slnl
back into the pillows with a sigh.
Did he leave his arm about her
shoulders a little longer than was
necessary? She could not tell, and
she was a little ashamed for ask
ing herself .the question.
"You will find -a paper knife on
my deak over there. Take all
these letters out of the envelopes.
Hand them to me, as I call for
them."
All but one was disposed of very
quickly. Over that one, Ralph
bent with deepening brow3.
"Do you know, Lynda, in htfw
many ways a man can make a
damn fool of himself, to please a
woman's whim?"
"No, Mr. Armltage. You see,
have only known two men in my
life, my father and David Ken-
more. Perhaps it was because of
my mother, though, that my fath
er has made a fool of himself all
these years. That might be one
way to make a fool of one's self.
But David " Lynda hesitated
moment the idea of David mak
ing a fool of himself was new to
her. . "I don't think or believe
that any girl could make a fool of
David Kenmore."
"Not even you, my dear?"
"Least of all I, , Mr. Armitage.
I would as soon think I could
make a fool of you, as David."
"That shows how little you
know men, Lynda. You are either
very Innocent or very clever for
surely you must know that you
can do with me what you please."

JAZZ OFFICER GETS
SMP1ISHHT
Member of British Navy
Tried By Court Martial,
Found Guilty
THE MORNING ARGUMENT
AUNT HET
By Robert Quillen
-GIBRALTAR, Apr. S. (AP)
A second British naval officer con
cerned in the controversy over
jazz music and the ship's band on
the British battleship Royal Oak
at Malta has been condemned by
court martial and duly punished.
Captain Kenneth G. B. Dewar.
commander of the Royal Oak, re
ceived a similar sentence to that
imposed on Commander H: M
Daniel, in the court martial whicl
concluded on the plane carrier
Eagle here tonight.
He was found guilty of acting
in a manner prejudicial to disci
pline in acting and forwarding a
letter written by Commander Dan
iel criticizing Rear Admiral St. G.
Collard in command of the first
squadron of the Mediterranean
fleet.
The second charge agarnst Cap
tain Dewar of accepting and for
warding a letter whose terms were
contrary to the king's regulations,
was announced as "not proved."
The sentence was dismissal from
his ship and a severe reprimand
given.
Captain Dewar's trial was the
more dramatic because he faced
Rear Admiral Collard. his super
ior officer, and several hot ex
changes occurred between the two
men. 'Dewar conducted his own
defense and made a fifty minute
speech to the court. He attribut
ed the whole trouble to "uncon
trollable fits of temper on the part
of Rear Admiral Collard."
He ridiculed the idea that he
and Daniels had entered into a
Machiavellian conspiracy to re
move Collard.
Interesting evidence was given
by the chaplain of the Royal Oak,
the ReV. Harry Gouleing. who tes
tified that he had called on Rear
Admiral Collard and remonstrat
ed with him for "Insulting very
cruelly somebody not in a posi
tion to reply." This had reference
to the bandmaster whom the ad
miral had taken to task as an in
competent music director.
"My notion is that a woman
that puts on fresh clothes without
takin' a bath ain't above aweepin'
the dirt under a rug."
