To have approved these measures would have been a plain statement to citizens of Salem who invoked the refer endum on the first franchise passed by the council that these people could go hang; the motor bus line was to hav. its franchise if the council had to declare it an emergency! and ' rush the ordinance through. f The point of The Stateman's protest has not been to at tack the rhotorbus company nor to prevent its receiving a suitable franchise. The point has been that the Southern Pacific interests prepared a franchise, saw it passed b$ the council arid then discontented and restless when it met a i referendum, attempted an ill-advised coup to escape a public f vote. . " i l We feel that a fair franchise, guaranteeing the bus com pany that measure of security necessitated by its investment ' and justified by the service rendered the public, is in; line ' with public interest, i We are sure that such a franchise is , all the transportation lines desire. j . For the council to ignore the disapproval expressed by ; one group 'of Salem citizens and to beat the devil around the bush by the emergency clause would justly arouse suspicion of the motives both of the council and the transportation company. If the original franchise passed by the council is meritorious as The Statesman felt it was, a referendum ivote preceded by a campaign of public education would doubtless" mean approval of the measure at the polls. f j . I What Goes Down; Comes Up OLD MAN SUPPLY is doing a fine job which the hew farm board was expected to have to assume. It is boost ing the price of wheat once more to profitable levels. Wheat slumped to below a dollar a bushel in May and deep gloom settled over the farming belt and deeper gloom over politi cal offices.! Farm relief legislation was speeded up, and ap pointments; to the board were rushed so the board might drive hard to the rescue of the 1929 farmers. Then? the weather took a hand. The glorious prospect for the sduth west failed to be realized when the harvest reports came in. Late damage cut down the yields sharply. - But the biggest jolt to Surplus Supply came in Canada with estimates of a yield of from 100, to 150 million bushels less than last year. The big Canadian crops of late years viave been what broke the back of the wheat parket. With Canadian -production 8$ greatly curtailed it is not surprising that wheat prices have risen 35 cents from the low of IVIay 31. Add to this the report that Argentine acreage will be cut down about 15 owing to adverse conditions. The world production j in 1929-1930 promises to be substantially under the amounts of recent years, so that the big carry-over from the last crops will be easily absorbed into world consumption. Nature has a way of doing just that. The weather swings like a pendulum, now to the extreme of nearly iper fect conditions and then to the other extreme which may cut production to the point of a shortage. Supply and demand continue to be positive forces in the control of such commodi ties as wheat with world-wide and year-round production. Better let supply and demand, the great natural forces, con : tinue to function than to try to interfere with boot-srap laws. Clearing the Air C10MEHOW the advent of a-new government in England is iU serving to clear the air. Not only is there a new toie in international affairs, but the Britishers themselves are hope- iful for better days. The immediate program of the labor government includes a reapproachment with Russia, irfitia: ;tion of steps toward removal of.allied troops from the Rhine-r I landaccord with the United States in the 'matter of naval f disarmament. In internal affairs the policy of the MacPon jald government is the reduction of unemployment, the stim- ulation of business, and an attempt to solve the coal mining problem. Commenting on the rather dramatic character of the premier's speech at Lossiemouth which he called "the begin ning of negotiations" on the Anglo-American naval Question, I the Manchester Guardian gives a compact summary oi the 'fresh wind" which has come "Only in that way. can the' ! quality of the change which has since the deieat of the Baldwin government.

He has taken the best means, by appealing to the sense of the dramatic, to impress the public with the conviction that these are no ordinary diplomatic negotiations, bnt signify a momentous departure of diplomacy. Good News for Oregon j SECRETARY WILBUR of the department of the interior, who has just visited Crater Lake, announces that the government will pave the road around the rim of the lake at at cost of $1,000,000. This is wonderful news for Oregon, for Crater Lake is still in Oregon despite the ravages of Cali fornia press agents. It means that the unique beauty of Crater Lake will be made more fully accessible to the thou sands who visit it annually 1 i Crater Lake is not a resort for just an outing, whicli one I seeks on a camping trip. It is one of nature's curious -phenomena, a lake on a muntain top. Folk visit it to see its rare beauty and to appreciate the singular wonder which the scene arouses. So every facility- for making the lake easily visible from all parts of the rampart wall should be suppied. The paved road will entice many tourists to girdle the bow with its blue contents, and give them it betterpicture to car jry with them as they drop down into the valley. j V ' .

John Parsons, former lov ed and admired Salem pastor (of the First Methodist church), au thor of the book, "Beside the Beautiful Willamette," written in prose, but smooth and satisfying enough to pass for poetry, talked about the mission rose in his re marks at the Methodist mission day exercises at old Champoeg on Thursday, which is now an annu al event. U Mr. Parsons had been substi tuted for Fred Lockley, who Is under observation In a Portland hospital, and could not be present to take his place on the program. as he had promised. Which will give the occasion to every reader of this paragraph to at least breathe a wish or a prayer for the continued health of Mr. Lockley, so well known for his good works to most Salemites and many thousands of other Oregon lans. Mr. Parsons said Mrs. Alanson Beers was the originator of the mission rose. She came to Ore gon In 1887, one of the second group of missionaries sent out by the Methodist church. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Beers and three children; Dr. Elijah White, wife and two children; W. H. Willson and Lu J. Whltcomb; Anna Maria Pitman, Susan Down ing, and Elvira Johnson four. teen persons. They left New York in July, 183.6, and arrived at the "old mission" in May, 1837. it There were five women In the party,, the first white women to set foot in the valley of the Wil lamette. It was a great day in Oregon history; it signalized the addition -of family life to the work3 of "Christian civilization. A pleasant land met their wonder ing gaze.

OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Orw Wednesday Morning, July 17. 1929 Super Substitute? mighty Colombia, grim In its sol itude between dark forests of tall fir trees, rolled grandly past them toward the sea. Fair Wil lamette came softly down to greet them, robed in its garniture of spring. The snow clad mountains put on the gorgeous haes of sum mer sunsets, and in the Bilver moonlight the lesser hills gleam ed out like bannered towers guarded with watchful sentinel. S The occasion was worthy of the display. These five were the only white women within 2 59 miles, and there were only two others west of the Rocky mountains;. What is the story of the mission rose? Mrs. Beers found after her arrival In Oregon, among some mementoes of home, a withered flower. By carefully nurturing the germ she coaxed it into life. From that small beginning has come forth all this wealth of beauty. V What Is the rqse like? Ask any one In Salem who has a descen dant of the withered parent spe cimen brought half around the world to become the mother flow er of millions now throughout the valley and state. "It is a bush rose, pink in color, and very fragrant, the flower being two or more inches in diameter," wrote a pioneer Oregon woman, Mrs. Mary A. Gilkey of Dayton, one of the first graduates of Willamette university, who said the mission rose was the only rose bush in tfcelr old home yard for many years. v The "old mission" garden was a choice and famous one in the old days when that: was the seed place for Christian civilazation in the savage wilderness from the Rockies to the sea,:, from Alaska to the Mexican (California) line. Cyftis Shepard, the teacher, was the chief gardner. H. K. W. Per? kins, a former worker at the mis sion, made a pilgrimage in 1844 to that spot. Old memories rc- with Edwin Wetsei, of Milwaukee, from the season's first ascent of Mt. taken three days prior to the ac Siste 11? ,Jxttt - - ' v - ; j 7eL the mission garden: "I stopped to linger, for a few moments, around the little enclosure which contained the old mission garden, originally planted by Cyrus Shep ard's own , hand This was the moat pleasant $lace connected with the mission. It was well planted with young trees, and a great variety of herbs and flow ers. This was always a place of first resort for visitors." The seeds for this garden came from New England, and had been carefully carried Over the Rocky mountains long before wagons came through; when only pack animals could come. Seven months after her husband's death, Mrs. Shepard wrote: "I am now sitting opposite the window over, looking the garden planted by my dear husband. The flowers bloom as well as when he was here to take care of them, but the tender plants miss his careful hand. Sev. en months hare passed since he left me. and I still look for him in the garden, morning and even ing, and can hardly persuade my self I shall not see his straw hat among the vines." m For' over 90 years, Bince Cyrus Shepard worked In his garden at the old mission, there has been a volunteer crop from the aspara gus bed he planted ; as if nature were anxious to keep alive the memory of the good, man who was the first Christian teacher of the wilderness that is now the em pire of the Pacific northwest. L S Wordsworth communed with the flowers of the field and found in them thoughts that lie too deep for tears. Ruskin could not pluck a flower without pain, so great was -his love for them. Tennyson dropped upon his knees before a bed of flowers, and call ed to his companions, "Down on your knees, man. and smell the violets!" Linnaeus looked upon a field of mountain gorse in full bloom, and, in the exquisite phrase of Mrs. Browning. "He knelt beside them on the sod. for their beauty thanking God." Said the Master: "Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil now, -neither do they spin;; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these." Ministers Are Guests at Zena ZENA, July 16 Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Higgins of Zena entertained Revefend and "Mrs. E. H. Shanks of Loveland, Colorado, and Rev erend Charles Rutherford, -missionary from India, at their fruit ranch at Zena three days recently. Reverend and Mrs. Shanks are well known in Salem church work.
