I Meet Professor Jones. 5 WILLAMETTE has a new professor this year by the name of Jones. He comes from California and has waited a surprising self-restraint. But he opened up at a pep meeting it the school Thursday and diagnosed the ills of the citizens f this commonwealth. The prof essor in quoted: "You Oregonians are the most patient lot of folks I .ever - 8a w. When I go down town I see people coughing and sneez- !Tly Wr"trTl t ho T.2.r. mill aonHa rnf if a ati1nlinina cfoni Vint " aobody does anything about it. A bunch of Los Angeles real estate men would get rid of-the nuisance in a hurry." From the reputation Los Angeles real estate men have; " we do i(dt Houbt.it in the least. Indeed they would get rid of it, they would move the whole plant down to L. A. on the next boat if they could get hold of it, and sell it for two or three times what they thin kit ds worth after they get it there. ..... , - We get mighty tired of this ever telling us what they do in a monopoly oh all virtues, why person who prefers California down there and stifle in the heat, drink its rotten water, en joy all the stenches from its industrial plants, its oil refin eries and sugar refineries that he wants to. For our part we will stand all the odor of pure sulphur the paper mill will vomjt on the air, and we work right close to the chimney. They can double the size of the plant if they choose. The smell of sulphur may be rather penetrat ing, but it is not at all unhealthf uL Salem has very little of it compared with Oregon City, with its larger paper mills. Professor Jones is further quoted: "If California had half the scenery you have, she'd let the world know about it." Well, she does and she does. She does have half of Orgon's scenery, we concede that, and she does tell the world about it. But so does Oregon, though California and Wash ington at times try to appropriate some of our scenic assets: Multnomah falls, Columbia river highway, Crater Lake. But Oregon is diligent in advertising its scenic wonders from Bandon to Wallowa. More may be done, yes indeed, and more will be done. Perhaps Professor Jones will feel that we are peeved at his criticism. We are. Not that we are smugly self-satis-fied and excessively modest about proclaiming our virtues. On the contrary Oregonians are quick to criticize themselves, and Lord knows they get plenty from outsiders. But Pro fessor Jones is wrong Oregon is progressive, is forging ahead as rapidly as most any other state in the union, and is : going ahead on a sound, substantial basis. Professor Jones mistakes lack of nervousness for lyhoo for "modesty." Charge to. Profit and Loss. IF a masked man entered the U. S. National bank in Port land, or the First National there, waved a revolver and demanded $2500, he would be promptly disarmed and jailed. If a man entered the same institution and sought to bor row that amount on a personal note without satisfactory se curity, he would be auickhr sent on his way without the mon ey. v If a man went in and tried to sell them some phony ad vertising proposition for $2500 hp would be unceremoniously squelched. ' Sq the mystery is how these banks can put up stakes of $2500 or $1000 for horse show prize money. It isn't adver tising, as any one who knows anything about advertising would quickly testify;- It isn't charity, for the winners rate among the wealthy. It might be classed as a donation, but to our rural mind it looks more like a fraud on the stockhold ers. ,; v- . . l How does a solicitor put this over on astute bankers who are as penny-pinching as a green-grocer? Why simply by the old art of flattery. The to be an affair of the elite, so the stakes are made the strut ting of the wealthy institutions. " If pne ttoes it, then the others "have" to do It to, and before it Is over with the bank Is stuck for a good round sum, just to get their name listed in the social blue book that a horse show program signifies. The stakes are-absurdly- large for the; performance, though probably not for the money invested in fancy horses which show on the tanbark. everything from a horse race six-horse hook-up. But we have to smile at the way the big city bankers are bled when it comes to financing the stakes.

HENDRICKS Some historic bits: A slip of some kind made this column say on Tuesday that the Willamette woolen mills, the com pany to buUd and operate which was organised in 1866 and the first machinery ot which was put into motion early in 1857, was located near "the island" the pro prietor of which. J. B. McClane. claimed was the true town of Sa lem when he platted It, in the year after North Salem and Sa lem proper were given the name by having their plats placed on record. Mrs. W. L. (Lincoln) Wade lives now on what was "the isl and," in the home she has owned and occupied many years, and she of course remembers well the woolen mm, which, was opposite her home, and on ''the island," and she hat Tivid recollections of that factory, which was the big gest industry ts Salem in its day. It was unfortunately burned early in 1878, giving the- city a bad set back. It was the erst woolen mill buUt on the Pacific coast. The one at EUendale was buUt by Judge B, P. Boise in 1864. Eflen- dale was on the Rickreall a few mUes above Dallas. R, P. Boise ot Salem has his farm and coun try home there now. The Oregon City woolen mills were built in 1864 and 1861. W W Mrs. Wade has childish recollec tions of the mission saw and grist mills that were built on "the isl and' ia 1849, after the arrival of the- Lausanne with the machinery. She remembers that, as a small girl, she went Into the principal store on "the island" to wait for her father, who had gone across the road to get some flour at the mission grist mill, and she at tempted to negotiate the purchase of a bat she fancied while her paternal parent was after the makings ot the staff off Ufe for the family. H Her husband became the prin cipal merchant of the town some years 'afterward, and was In busi ness for a generation. He first had hit own store banding, a wooden structure which atlU stands there.

That was Salem's first brick store building, and she thinks It was erected by J. D. Boon.-. W By the way, Mrs. Wade can qualify' for membership In the re cently announced club of those who were bona la Champoolck die trict or county or Marion county in its first year, or first few years. She was ben In Champoolck dis trict, just before it became Cham poolck county, at what Is now West Stayton, Feb. 14. 1846. She was the valentine of her family, her name was Malinda J. Neal. She has the same birthday as Ore gon for her statehood, for this Is the valentine state. There are men and women In considerable numbers in Salem who. ean remember the times be fore we had railroads, and a tew who can hark back to the days when the first regular stage lines were established, aa the transport ation facilities emerged from the Indian canoe or pioneer bateau, or the ex wagon, and saddle r pack animal. There are those here yet who wUl recan that the last overland stage left Salem for the south, on December 7, 1870, and at the same time took all the horses, wagons, hacks and stages belonging- to the company. The 69th anniversary of that day will not come UU De cember 7, ot this year. By the fall ot 1872. there had been successive removals of the stage front on south,- with the completion ol the railroad, till it reached Rosebnrg', -where it re mained for 10 . years, when. In 1882, there was a commencement of construction to close the gap between the shire tefn ot Douglas county and Reading; Cal and th last spike to mark the final com pletion ot the lis was not driven tUl ia the first days-of 18SS. V V The Bits man was at Roseburg the last five years ot the 10 when that town was the front, and that was a period of bis news, with stage robberies and all the other unusual happenings that go wit the life ot a frontier town. The Dad's Day at University of -war; ,04; h ; ' - Bits man will some day under take to review some of the high light features ot the big news ot those years when rail met trail and stage coach at Roseburg. He saw the last stage that went out of Roseburg to the tune of a brass band, drawn by six white horses that always were kept on that section, with the lines In the capable hands of Billy Carll, div ision superintendent ot the over land stages. S Rerertlng ta 1879, the year when the last stage went south out ot Salem, that was a hot year in politics. The waa Issues were fresh. In the campaign of that year, John Minto and Tim Daven port (father ot Homer, the great cartoonist), were elected to the legislature. In the campaign Min to roasted the southern democrats and Pete Bilyeu took exceptions The Statesman account said Min to tried to explain that here was nothing personal in what he said, but Bilyeu wanted to fight, "so Minto bounced a brick off Pete's head, ending the row and spoiling the brick, the printed report con cluded. It H One ot the Minto boys, Jasper, used to tell a story, of his father, the pioneer and leading character of the second wagon immigration of 1844. Members of the Minto family had a stock ranch east of the mountains, and the father In making a visit and trip of inspec tion, hearing ot seme trouble they had been having with a neighbor, cautioned the boys that soft words were useful In turning away wrath, and that more could be done with reason that violence. m But one day the father encount ered the neighbor near their line fence, and In reasoning with him about their differences, found the neighbor in a hostile mood,' with demands that were anything but point where the father of the Mln falr. The dispute had led to a to famUy had peeled his coat and was preparing; to attempt to en force his arguments by blows, when Jasper sot between, the dis putants and reminded his patern al champion of his advice, and un dertook, to assume the responsibil ity for the rest of the proceed ings, resulting in the unreasonable neighbor getting the licking he had coming to aim but not at the hands of the father.

Charles XL Folsom, certified pubUc accountant, of Portland ad dressed the following open letter to the secretary of state and ten dered a copy to this paper for pub lication. Hon. Hal JL Hoss Secretary of State Salem, Oregon Dear Sir: Re-Accountancy Meeting The paper that was circulated for signatures at the Accountancy meeting today signed without reading, as it was stated that it was simply a "registration of presence." If the paper stated that the meeting waa a "public hearing or it it is. going to be used as a verification that such a "hearing" has been held. I wish to withdraw any name from it, as I do not con sider that any meeting can be a "public hearing" under the pro visions of the statutes, that de nies a citizen of Oregon the right to be heard for a reasonable time; the Tight ot offering a resolution; the right te offer an amendment to pending resolutions, and the right to vote upon the same; and as I was present by your invita tion and denied these rights by ryour rulings as chairman ot the meeting, I contend there has been no "public hearing." Moreover, the object of a "pub He hearing" under the (HB No. 218) act must have been to de termine the time and method of the installation of the new ac countancy systems provided tor in the act; and, also what kind of system or systems the secretary of state Intends to install. This essential ground was not covered either by remarks or res olutions at the meeting unless the report of the chairman of the lea gue of Oregon cities be so con strued; but the fact is, the method stated was too vague to be under stood and if Intended for a gen eralization it was too extended, and if for detail it was too con tracted. Hence, the purpose of a "public hearing" intended by the legislature has not been effected. These statements being true, I as a specialist in governmental accountancy deem It very neces sary that the an of the chief char acteristics of any system to be in stalled shall be made known by some actual demonstration and passed upon by disinterested com petent authority before any en gagements are made for .any in stallation whatsoever. Because this is the only way by which the state's money andconvenience can be protected from unrighteous assaults, i This ot course, means that there should be an opportunity given to all comers to present systems actually demonstrated for the proposed installation, and hae the same passed upon as hereinbe fore stated. As this and correlative work. under the most advantageous con ditions (which do not now apper tain) will require a period of sev eral biennlums to get Into good f working order and an expenditure of a very large amount of time and money, it would be an almost irretrievable blunder to have the work actually begun during the present bJenninm, instead of wait ing tin the effect intended by the three "companionable" accoun tancy bill presented to the last legislature can be consummated by further action without excep tions of any units or things that make good execution practically an impossibility. I. therefore, most respectfully request that, such a "public hear ing" as is contemplated by the statutes be called and the writer notified at your earliest conven ience, and at which time and place the features here mentioned may be fully; and unreservedly dis cussed. ; ' . Tours very"' truly, Charles E. Folsom.

Two sessions of the federal re serve bank board were held, Se cretary Mellon attending, and with participants in telephone communication with New York and other centers. The board ad journed, however, without alter ing re-discount rates or other wise moving to deal with the sit uation. In the senate, the events occasioned renewed mention of proposals by Senator King, demo crat, Utah, to Investigate the credit influence on stock market affairs, but dealings with it were not expected before December at the regular session.
