Ocean Commerce Gains
IN THE face of statistics released by the Portland Mer
chants' Exchange respecting commerce at the Port of
Portland in 1929, the pessimists should crawl through a small
knot-hole. For the tonnage shipped out and the tonnage
shipped in exceeded the corresponding figures for 1928 which
was a fine year in water-borne trade. The showing the past
year we consider quite remarkable because the wheat crop,
which makes up a large percentage of the export business,
was very short in 1929 and the movement greatly retarded in
the fall because of low prices.
Salem has real interest in these figures because Port
land is the water port for Salem, and hundreds of tons of
Salem products are shipped by boat from Portland. The re
port places the combined inward receipts at 2,741,969 short
tons against 2,599,504 tons for 1928 and last year's outward
movement at 2,602,304 tons, while in 1928 the volume dis
patched totaled 2,583,697 tons.
: From the standpoint of value, inward shipments last
year are shown to have aggregated $185,179,031, and in 1928
they were worth 1170,504,190. The value of the outward
movement for 1929 was $124,048,359 and in 1928 amounted
to $126,783,062.
The showing made in the foreign trade is very gratify
ing. The imports were about 3,000 tons less in volume than
in 1928 but with a value about $6,000,000 greater. Foreign
exports increased from 1,437,515 tons in 1928 with a value
of $50,322,276 to 1,490,421 tons valued at $52,975,338 in
1929; and this record was made in spite of a lessened move
ment of wheat, the principal item of export.
We are sometimes impatient at the slow gain from year
to year, but when we look back a period of ten years we find
that the gains have been very substantial. So we may look
ahead about ten years to 1940 and vision a trade from the
Port of Portland far in excess of that now handled, calling for
more and larger terminals, and calling for a greater produc
tion of those commodities which enter into foreign trade.
Salem's production has not reached its peak, not at all. The
next decade will call for increased tonnage of fruits, berries,
dairy products, poultry products and other products of soil
and of industries.
Salem is rightly pleased at the 1929 record of "its" Port
of Portland.

BITS for BREAKFAST
Making Pershing the Goat
XTEBRASKA politicians are seeking to run General Persh-
JLl mg as a candidate for the senate against George W.
Norris. It is a plain case of trying to capitalize Pershing's
military reputation in an effort to defeat Norris. Pershing
had had no political experience and no known Dolitical ability :
his fame alone is what makes him the choice of a group who
want to retire the redoubtable Norris. In post-Civil War days
Pershing would have had no difficulty in running for office
even mp to president. But times have changed and he will
lead a forlorn hope if he seeks to break into the senate from
Nebraska.
Norris is unlovely; he isprovincial; he is irregular; he
is a disturbing element in national politics. But Norris is
honest ; and we are inclined to think he is sincere. More than
that, he has a hold, even is demagogic, over the voters of
arin tuab uui oeu jrei&jtmg ma BiiaKe. vvunoui pro-
all, we would think that ex-governor McKelvie would make a
better opponent of Norris than Pershing. McKelvie has
political standing in his state as a leader of the conservative
wing of the republican party. He would be a better man to
rally round than Pershing, because his political ideas are well
known, and his political standing in Nebraska is assured.
Norris follows a policy of isolation. It suits him like it
suited LaFollette. He campaigned for Smith in 1928, a most
incongruous companionship for Norris, by way of demon
strating his political independence. Norris is hated by good
party tnen because he constantly upsets the apple-cart ; and
he is irritating to the Hoover group because he is defiant,
hostile, and refuses to eooperate. But Norris will never be
overthrown by pressure or money from outside any more
than LaFollette the elder. And we see little prospect of any
revolt in. Nebraska against hfs leadership which would unseat
him. Pershing, it may be said with confidence, would be a
helpless victim not of the zeal of his friends but of the mis
guided judgment of Norris's foes, should he become a sen
atorial candidate.
The Prodigal Returns, and Re-turns
JOE THOMISON is back in Oregon. This able journalist,
famed for his work at Hooji River, returned some months
&go -to his old home in Tennessee. He had disposed of his
newspaper interests at Hood I River and taking his children,
who had been left motherless, returned to-Tennesseel '
But the west had gotten into his blood.' Like many an
other since the great westward trek began, when he went
back home he found it not so satisfying as he had anticipated.
It is always like that: we go "back home" with fond hopes,
only to find changes. We see things differently the hills
are not so steep, the fields are not so fertile, the yards not so
tidy as we had remembered them. So Thomison has come
back to Oregon. He has taken an editorial rjosition on The
Dalles Optimist, and his old friends of the profession in Ore-
T 1- - X. 1 1 ,
kuu give aim most coraiai welcome.
Joe could not resist that call of the golden west
Aberdeen has been stuck another 132,900 by the findings of as
arbitral board, on Its construction of an industrial water system.
-The city anxious to make itself great. Jumped in and built a big Im
line to supply water for Industries. The pipe line was built, though
me construction is reported interior, but the industries never came.
The pipe line was just a suceway for the taxpayers' money. Even
tually it may be used, but it Is a monument to city folly now.
v Telling of his plans to make publieTila platform about the first
of February, Charles Hall, of Marshfield, speaks thus: "la my
statement of policies to be followed when 1 become governor, X shall
stress," etc. . "When I become governor," that assurance would seem
. to make the expense of the primary and general elections altogether
unnecessary. But perhaps Norblad, et. aL, will haTe something to
say on that subject. .
"The distance to be traveled before the soviet government enters
. the league of nations Is still great" is the t notation attributed to one
"well-informed obserrer." But not so great as that before the United
i States enters the league.
Jesse Applegate: ,
He did much more than lead
the first covered wagon train to
the Oregon country, lay the first
firm foundations of pre-state gov
ernment; reconcile the heads of
the Hudson's Bay company to
the Jurisdiction of and participa
tion in the provisional govern
ment; pioneer in many other use
ful ways.
His influence brought about
the nomination of Abraham Lin
coln for the presidency at the Chi
cago convention of 1860. In 1849
the chief of the Oregon pioneers
went to the oak-clad hjlls of the
beautiful Yoncalla valley. He set
tled on a donation land claim a
short distance from the present
town of Yoncalla, where he lived
thereafter.
In his early days Applegate
had received important assistance
from Edward Bates of Missouri.
He named one of his boys Ed
ward Bates Applegate, who when
14 years of age was capsized and
drowned In the rapids of the Co
lumbia river on the downward
journey of a part of the 1843 im
migration, and he kept up a reg
ular correspondence with Mr.
Bates from his Oregon home; till
long after Bates became attorney
general in the cabinet of Presl
dent Lincoln.
S
In 1860 Bates was a promin
ent republican and a candidate
for the nomination for president
of the United States. Leander
Holmes (of the present Holmes
gap district In Polk county) had
been the nominee of the republi
can state convention held April
21, 1859. he, along with Dr. W,
Warren and A. O. Hovey, were
chosen delegates to the republi
can national convention for 1860,
and were instructed to use their
influence for William H. Sew
ard for nomination for president.
(It was claimed that these Sew
ard resolutions were slipped over
on the convention by P. J. Peng-
ra, editor of the People's Press
of Eugene, after the convention
had made arrangements to ad
journ and half the delegates bad
left, supposing there was notn-

state convention
which met AprU It. I860, re-
adopted the platform of the
preceding convention with the
omission of the Seward resolutions.
Horace Greeley, through his pa
per, the New York Tribune, at
that time exercised a greater in
fluence throughout the country
north of the Mason and Dixon line
than any other man or set of
men. Some years prior to 1859
Greeley had broken loose from
W. H. Seward and Thurlow Weed,
his erstwhile political colleagues,
and was at this time opposed to
Seward for the presidency. On ac
count of this opposition he was
kept off the New York delegation
to the Chicago convention, which
delegation was solid for Seward.
He was then in the position of be
ing ' on the outside looking in."
V
Jesse Applegate and Leander
Holmes were fast friends: they
had been neighbors in what Is
now Polk county. When it was
discovered that Holmes could not
attend the national convention.
Applegate persuaded him to send
his proxy t o Horace Greeley,
whom he adored, with instruc
tions to use it In the Interest of
Edward Bates. The New York
delegation had no intimation that
Greeley was to have a voice in
the convention until the roll call
of states was made. When Oregon
was reached in the call, Greeley
stood tip and responded as one of
its delegates. At this turn of af
fairs consternation showed in the
faces of the New Yorkers. They
knew Greeley was In position to
wage a nght against their candi
date that had not been dreamed
of, let alone counted on, and
among them was heard some gen
uine swearing and epithets. They
chaffed afid bantered him, calling
out, among other things: "When
did you move?" "Go west go
west andrtay there ! "
S 'm
Greeley got a place on the com
mittee on, platform and resolu
tions, and he wielded a greater in
fluence in that convention than
any other man. Oregon had the
strongest voice In the gathering.
On the first and second ballots
the Oregon vote went to Edward
Bates. As between Lincoln and
Seward, the leading candidates,
the vote stood: first ballot, Sew
ard 173 H. Lincoln 102; second
ballot, Seward 184. Lincoln
181. There were 465 votes in the
convention, with 233 necessary
for a choice. During the third
ballot there was tolerable order
until Oregon declared for Lin
coin, rendering his "nomination
certain. At this point tbe enthus
iasm became irrepressible; . the
wigwam was shaken with
cheers from 23,000 repubUcans.
The Oregon vote did not render
Lincoln's nomination absolutely
certain, but it brought his rote
up to 231, within. 1 votes of
nomination, and before the re
sult of the rote was announced
other states changed to Lincoln
and no farther ballet was taken.
W W
Oregon had six rotes in the
Chicago convention. The conven
tion of 1859 had chosen Holmes,
Hovey and Dr.- Warren, and had
constituted a state central com'
mittee composed of H. W. Cor
bett. W. Carey Johnson and E. D.
Shattuck. When It was discovered
that Oregon had been assigned
six delegates instead of three
this central, committee appointed
three additional delegates la the

the Grand Army of the Republic.
Characteristic reports from sev

the work carried on by these organizations.
Greeley could not have achieved
this without his Oregon proxy.
He owed his place in that histor
ic convention to Jesse Applegate.
Who can say how different the
course of history might have been
but for this Oregon proxy?
S
Jesse Applegate was a member
from Umpo.ua county in the con
stltutional convention that met at
the old court house in Salem
August 17, 1867, and was la ses
sion four weeks, framing tbe
constitution for the state govern
ment, which became effective
upon the admission of Oregon on
February 14, 1859, and he intro
duced the first resolution In the
constitutional convention. In
1876. Jesse Applegate was a can
didate before the Oregon legisla
ture for United States senator,
along with J. W. Nesmith and
L. F. Grover. Governor Gro'ver
was elected, though Applegate
had 34 votes on the first ballot,
In the separate houses.

A little way south of Drain,
the Pacific highway passes
through the old homestead of
Jesse Applegate. Less than a
quarter of a mile from where the
old dwelling house of Mr. Apple-
gate stood, up on the spur of the
hill, is a little cemetery; and
here the "Sage of Yoncalla" and
his good wife. Cynthia, sleep side
by side. The spot is marked by a
humble sandstone slab of monu
ment two and a half feet by 20
Inches by six Inches in dimen
sions, facing north and south.
The stone was fashioned by Mr.
Applegate himself, assisted by his
son Peter Skeen Applegate, who
did1 the graying; and was placed
there at the time of his wife's
death seven years before the
death of Mr. Applegate. The
south side, or face, now bears
this Inscription: "Jesse Apple

Furthering the Fight to Control Cancer
By ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former CommUtioner of Health, New York City.
YOU will be Interested in a recent report of a two-year study of
health conditions In New York City, as made by the Medical
Social Service Section ef the Welfare Council of the city. As
a result of this work, extensive plans for cancer control are now being
usue a j cilj auuionues.
The report shows that cancer clinics and hos
pital beds are far below the needs ef the com
munity. The city authorities hare promised, not
only a new hospital for this work, but also that
