partly because so many Oregon carpenters and builders
had come down there in the last
That should open our eyes. We are spending a good
many thousand dollars to attract people to Oregon; what are
ve doinsr to hold -these who are already here? We believe
most people like the Oregon country, its climate and its scen
ery. What forces many of them
to get into profitable business or employment. They come,
stay here a year or two, then are attracted to California.
Of course it works the other way too, for there is a steady
movement of people who haven't been successful in California
north to Qrc-gon and Washington where they go to "try it
for a while."
Oregon's need is internal development to hold those who
now reside here as well as to attract those from other sec
tions. This development must be industrial and agricultural.
Wills and factories converting raw materials into finished
products will give increasing employment and call for ser
vices of other lines of business and professions to care for
the larrc-r population. Agricultural progress ought to be
steady from this time forward. Farming is emerging fast
from the post-war slump and there is some inclination to
ward expansion.
In the matter of land settlement nothing is gained by
bringing in a Minnesota farmer who buys out an Oregon
farmer if the Oregon farmer does as many of them do, takes
the money and leaves the state. Real progress comes where
new land is being added to cultivation or where present lands
are being farmed more intensively. Then production and
wealth increase and more people are supported from the soil.
In the matter of factories it is all very good to try to
attract men of wealth to come in and put up big mills in
Oregon. But the surer promise lies in the growth of small
plants already here into big plants. We have conspicuous
examples of this growth in the Jantzen Knitting Mills and
the Iron Fireman Manufacturing company. The former ent
ered a highly competitive field ; the other pioneered in a new
f ield. Both have won wide markets for their products. Ideas,
capital and management are the main requisites. The capi
tal' is here or is available if the project is sound and well
managed. The notion of "location" ia. pretty much of a fic
tion. It is the winning idea that locates, a big fountain pen

like it grows restless when a movie theatre starts showing
advertising pictures. So the revenues from advertising very
generally fail to pay for the expense of maintaining the sta
tion and providing programs.
There is such a piling up of inventions competing with
each other for public interest and attention that it is diffi
cult to keep each up to a level which will give adequate sup
port to all the commercial interests involved. Movies, talk

A Tail Hold on the Bear
THE bear is the tariff problem'. Congress has the tail
hold. It looks as though it was hard for congress either
to let go or to hang on. The senate bill is much at variance
with the house bill. It seems to have followed no particular
rule at all. What decreases it made were chiefly at the ex
pense of agricultural schedules. It made some strange in
creases. So there are now two tariff bills before the coun
try, the Hawley bill and the Smoot bill. It is hard to tell
whether either parent will recognize the bill when it leaves
congress.
A long fight is ahead of the bill in the senate. Demo
crats with a remnant of the "faith" are threatening on
slaught. y Progressives with the frankly selfish program of all
the tariff they can get on agriculture and as little as possible
on industry, are sure to wage war, out of habit if nothing
else. It looks as though the country would be celebrating
unparalleled prosperity at its Thanksgiving dinner before the
senate will get around to voting tariff relief to a busted na
tion. After the senate passes its bill, there will have to be
a conference between the house and the senate; and the con
ference bill must be passed by both houses before it goes to
the president.
Mark Sullivan ventures the opinion that the tariff prob
lem will go over into the regular session starting in Decem
ber. That may mean its being drawn out till late winter or
spring. Congressional elections lie just ahead in 1930, as
dreaded by congressmen as the fated ides of March,

Salem to Salt Lake
SALEM finds its back door leads somewhere.
For generations the outlet to the eastward has been
through Portland and up the Columbia river. That was the
old wagon trail; then the route of the Union Pacific Now
the Southern Pacific announces

Pacific main line between Oakland and Salt Lake City.
Through trains run on to Chicago over the U. P or connec
tion may be made with the Ljenver and Rio Grande for Den
ver and points east.
This is interesting. Probably the time required may
be a little longer than via Portland. The fare will probably
be the same. The difference will be in giving an alternate
route to the east and in giving possibly a more direct route
into Salt Lake and the great intermountain country.

Judge L. 1L McMahan tells the

the name of the historic Blacker

should remain the Blackerby

Blackerby of the early days, who
was truly a "doctor of the old

was called, whether or not he got
any pay, to alleviate sickness or
suffering. The old split log
school house with its big fireplace
of mud and sticks is gone long
ago. But no matter. Blackerby
is a good enough name, and the
correct one, for any school house
that has been or may be built in
that district.

by the name it went by for years.
It surely should be restored. Or

Bishop Matthew Simpson, the ;
most noted man in Methodism in ;
his day, and, according to Abra-1
ham Lincoln, the greatest orator !
or his time, who preached
the
funeral sermon of the martyred
president, spent a part of his sec
ond year as a bishop In an offi
cial visit to California and Ore
gon. He wa3 in Salem on his way
going to and coming from the
second Oregon conference of the
Methodist church, held In the Bel
knap settlement that year, 1854.
S
In writing to his wife of his
trip. Bishop Simpson said he met
at the wharf on his arrival from
Oregon City by boat Governor
John W. Davis of Oregon. This
was in March. The conference
opened March 18. He told his
wife: "We passed over hills
south of Salem . . . with thin oak
timber, scrubby and orchard-like.
The land Is rolling and nearly
mountainous. Some very fine
views wero had of the Coast
Range, the Cascade range, and the
snow peaks of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jef
ferson and the Sisters.

forests, flowers, and fields green
with, wheat, and "'the mountain
range, all made a delightful pros
pect; while ths evening rays of
the sun gently shed a mellow bril
liancy over the landscape. We
crossed the ferry."
Now, the Bits man, after a
good deal of inquiry, concludes
that Humphrey's ferry was be
tween where are now Indepen
dence and Sidney. That It was
near Judson's ferry and Judson's
rocks, known to early boatmen
oa the Willamette. The high
point from which Bishop Simpson
saw the river beautifully winding
from the ferry site must have
been a short distance south of
what is now the Skyline orchards.
An old trail (or road) led through
the country east ot the orchard,
went over the hill at the point
where Bishop Simpson must have
stood, and thence down to the fer
ry. Marks ot the old road are
there yet though it Is not now
used. The owner of a tract
south of the orchard disputed the
right of Marion county to keep
the road open, and fenced it up,
and the controversy has never
been renewed, though it should
be. and no doubt will be. In time.
That was no doubf a part of the
"old Spanish trail," leading to
the Mexican (California) border,
over which cavalcades of the Hud
son's Bay company passed annu
ally, or oftener, in the service of
the fur trade, beginning as early
as 1325, and perhaps the pioneer
traders and trappers came that
way earlier. That surely ought
'to give that fenced-up old road
the muniments of public right by
usage.
That Is that. But the Bits man
cannot find the location of Bish
op Simpson when he "passed the
governor's residence, eight miles
from Salem." It must have been
not far from the Skyline orchard;
east ot it. But the county records
do not show any transfer ot land
to or from John W. Davis. Per
haps he had a squatter's right.
Perhaps he rented the land. If
so, why did he live on a farm,
eight miles from his office? For
Salem was then the territorial
capital. He was governor of Ore
gon in 1833 and '54. He had
been speaker of the Indiana leg
islature and speaker of the lower
house of congress, and commis
sioner to China, before taking of
fice as governor of Oregon. He
died a few years after that, In
Indiana. Can some reader locate
the Governor Davis farm?

FIRE SITII1 IS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.
(AP) The forest fire situation in
Montana and Idaho was regarded
today by the forest service as
verging on a disaster.
The district forester at Mis
soula, Mont., reported today that
fires in northern Idaho and south
ern Montana, were the worst in
19 years and that conditions were
such that there was little hope
for control except in rains. Wea
ther reports, forestry officials
said, Indicated but little relief
from this source within the Im
mediate future.
Fires on the Kaniksu, Pend
O'Reille, Selway, Blackfoot. Flat
head, and Lewis and Clark nation
al forests were spreading rapidly
the report said, with a strong gale
blowing the flames along In the
face of the combined efforts of
4,700 fire fighters.
Offsetting the ominous reports
from the Idaho-Montana region
were reports from Portland, Ore
gon, saying that the situation In

proved. Encouraging reports
also had been receiving from sec

HEAD PARLEY
Secretary of State Expected
To Lead United States
Delegation
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.
(AP) Secretary Stimson Is ex
pected by well informed circles
here to head the American delega
tion to the naval parley which la
being tentatively discussed by Am
bassador Dawes and Prime Min
ister MacDonald.
While there has been no deci
sion on tire-date or location ot a
disarmament conference, some
consideration has been given by
officials in both the state and na
vy departments to the personnel
of the American delegation. Re
ports from London have stated
that the conference will likely be
held there, either late this year
or early next year.
President Hoover and Secretary
Stimson are well aware that the
setting of a definite date for the
conference must necessarily de
pend upon the- progress which Is
made by the British premier and
the ambassador in securing some
basis of settlement between Great
Britain and the United States and
on the baste factors and princi
ples in the problems as they con
cern these two countries.
Other Powers T
Be Consulted!
After these factors are determ
ined, and hopes are held here that
some definite arrangement can be
reached in a matter of weeks, the
other power will be consulted
with a view to a new naval confer
ence. Since Prime Minister MacDon
ald has been conducting the dis
cussions in London on behalf of
the British and is considered here
to be the most likely one to head
the brltish delegation at such a
conference, it is felt in official
and diplomatic circles that the
United States should send to a
parley a high ranking govern
ment official.
Hoover And Stimson
In Constant Touch
Secretary Stimson has been
dealing Intimately with the situ
ation and has been in constant
touch with Mr. Hoover and Am
erican naval experts. Officials
here tonight pointed out that Mr.
Stimson would be prepared to en

quainted with both the American
and British desires and view
points. To assist him there would
be Ambassador Dawes and Hugh
S. Gibson, American Ambassador
to Belgium and head of the Am
erican delegation to the League
of Nations preparatory disarma
ment commission, who is particu
larly well informed on the view
points of other nations.
Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones,
who retired sometime ago as
chairman of the general board, Is
viewed by naval experts as a pos
sible choice to assist the Ameri
can delegation with the technical
angles of the situation. He is
considered well acquainted with
the disarmament question and has
