A Steo Toward Invadinc an Empire A "FLANK movement" is the XI. proposed advance of the Oregon Electricfrom isugene to the Siuslaw river in the general direction of the coast. It f a m'ffnal that the Hill lines are starting their invasion of southern and southwestern Oregon. It may signify their eventual building to Marehfield, perhaps to Medforci, ana -thence by utilizing existing lines, over the mountains to Klamath Falls. If such should be the prospect, it will mean railway competition in the southern part of the state. It will mean the opening up of that district along the line of the proposed line of railroad, and should result in rapid devel opment of resources in that area. Eyes have been riveted on the effort of the Hill lines to extend south from Klamath to form a link with the Western Pacific, creating an alternate route north and south. Decision on this proposal is now in the hands of the interstate com merce commission. Hitherto the commission has been friend ly to Great Northern extensions; but it has several times denied applications of the Western Pacific for expansion in certain California districts. The O. E. was known to be plan ning a branch up the Santiam in Linn county, but nothing was intimated until Thursday's announcement, about the ex " tension from Eugene to the Siuslaw- This comes as a flank attack; and it will be interesting to watch Whether or not the Southern Pacific will resist this further threatened en croachment on its preserves. Prayers for Russia M1HERE is plenty of political dynamite in, the saying pray X ers for the distressed religionists in Russia. Thus the soviet representatives assert that the pope, Poland and God are forming a triple entente to give Ukraine, now one of the autonomous states of the Russian union of soviet republics, over to Poland whose state church is Roman Catholic. Which in of course the Russian way of saying that the pope's call to prayer has a political motive in stirring up the faithful In Russia and inducing them to turn to Rome via Poland. This is of course soviet propaganda. But there is the haz ard of letting sympathy for the oppressed in Russia become a vehicle for attack on sovietism as a political theory. This would add the bitter brew of religious prejudice and intol erance to the already sharp antagonism over communism and abolition of political liberties. So far as the political Question goes, the western world ought to let God be neutral Lead Kindly Light TEN days ago Charles Hall leaped into the Portland street car fracas with the pronouncement that if elected gov ernor he would fire the public service commission. Now we note he has written a letter to the Oregonian as follows: "I had hoped and prayed and worked to get a message from Houdini, and several of the great spiritualistic advocates declare I are succeeded, but It is not true. The silence Is impenetrable." "In an editorial last week concerning my statement about the public service commission, The Oregonian evidently did not get the Import of my statement. I did not criticise the 10-cent fare, but I did criticise the public service commission for not passing on the uestlon, rather than letting It go into effect. They hare bid what would seem to be ample time. How's that for a "please-everybody" statement? It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out just how many ides of the question Mr. Hall is on. Misrepresenting the Party Organization WITH his usual capacity for bauing things up, Newell Williams, secretary of the county republican commit tee, without the knowledge of the chairman, has written pre cinct committeemen a letter which is a patent effort to line up the party organization of the county behind Governor Norblad. J. C. Perry, county the letter? and the flare-back the block and probably react The party machinery is and contest of this character, where there is no danger of a party maverick getting the nomination. Williams merely suc ceeds in getting Himself in hot elf the governor and Hal Patton, who has been handling the governor's interests in the county. Marion county republicans are not "lining up" in any organized or unorganized way behind any candidate. The at tempt to put over such a line-up by one member of the rartv committee is a tawdry misrepresentation of the real atti tude oi the party organization neutrality in tne primary campaign. The Impenetrable Silence mHE silence is impenetrable." So says the widow of the JL great Houdini, world renowned mairlci&n. While the rhetorician might ask what meaning ox Airs, uoudini is plain. As she said: "I do not hay sufficient facts on which to base an opinion, but I am incUned to believe that the street rilw stratum land to not making money, although it appears to me that it has the best of management." Houdini, it will be recalled, was a tfono-rttv mmint of spiritualism, seances and the whole set-up of attempts to talk with the dead. He exposed manv franda inunv mmma and challenged any of them to prove. they had communica tion with the spirits of the departed, Before he died he ar ranged with hia wife certain signals which he would attempt to use in communicating with her after his demise. Once it was announced that Mrs. Houdini was satisfied she had had communication with her late husband. Now she admits such was not the case, that "tha silence U t mrnfyoMA v So ;it was after the passing of William James, eminent psychologist, wtowu interested In the scientific attempts to communicate with the spirit world.

Health to a natural thins. Bad health to unnatural. Host diseases are broaght Optra as by ourselves. They are da to our lack . of knowledge of nature's laws, or to lack of common . sense to act In ac cordance with these natural laws. The normal. healthy body wards ef Infee Uoa and dis ease. Tha won derfully effi cient methods by -which the W a A w rnr4te Itself are oaiy now being discovered. We are be ginning to understand the work ing of the complex glands of the body. There mast be proper func tioning of the heart, lungs , and other vital organs, to protect the healing power of Nature. Children, the vast majority of them, are born with sound health. Too many of them are allowed when young to form bad habits of one kind or another. This is a pity. Every child should be taught deep breathing. It should receive attention in the very earliest years. Good lung action Is absolutely essential to good health. When you see a person whose body lacks symmetrical development around the chest, you may know it is duo to lack of deep breathing. Deep breathing means that your very elastic lungs are open ed wide enough to take in a large volume of air giving oxygen to the blood as you breathe. If that air Is pure, then you are building up your body. If you are on a mountain top where the air is uncontaminated, that is quite a different thing from being in the midst of crowds of people in the city. In the lat ter case, the air is defUed from germs, dust and dirt, and the foul air excreted from millions of per sons. Ths blood circulates through the lungs and around the body three times in about a minute. Each time the blood passes from the right side of the heart Into the lungs it is dark purple in col or. It is saturated with the waste products of the system picked up by the blood as it passes through ths body. When you exhale in breathing, these waste products are expeued In air and moisture. When you inhale, and the air is drawn into the lungs, oxygen Is absorbed through ths thin walls of the tiny blood-vessels of ths lung structure and thence into the blood stream. Here the lm pure purple blood turns to pure blood of a red color and returns to the heart from the lungs, pur ified for its journey around ths body again. It takes with it lite and vigor.

Ths pompous man threw the stub of ths black cigar at ths well curb the old stone curb Eve had weeded and brushed free of earth only ths day before, Hs lighted another, tossing ths match into a clump of Sweet William, waved a pudgy hand, drove away saying he would b back. Ev ran to th old Judge, trem bling. "You wouldn't let him come here? Old pig, throwing his smelly cigars around! You said you'd sell to someone who under stands someone who loves the place " Ths man shook his white head. looking helpless and sad. "I'm an old fellow, my dear, and old fel lows hare a way of stepping out. I'd hoped my homestead would pass into ths right hands, but af ter all . . So you've get to love It, too? Ah, I thought you wouldn't want it yourself?' Half crying. Ere began to pro test. She realised suddenly that it was quits as hs said: ahe loved ths roomy, ancient farmhouse, ths grounds whers a hundred flower ing things rioted all la gay con tusion; the remoteness and tran quility and old-time charm of it all. Never, excepting at Laksview. had aha felt so completely herself as she felt here, never so at home. Why, it was homo! The Lakeview place would be sold when dear old Uncle Mat was through with it: ths uncles Eld decided this long ago. Then she would be without an anchor for who could think of the noisy, ' untidy cottage in The Lane as this? Where would she go to do her writing when the pompous man with the black cigars settled down here? Eve remembered her writing and the account in the Harerford bank all in a breath. Eighteen hundred dollars, proceeds of her Revelations, and ther wss as much more to come . . . And she had been wondering what it would buy ber that the wanted most of am "Judge Randolph," she cried; "what would you sell ths plaes fort Your very lowest price ' Ths pompous man was consid ering It st four thousand but Eve could have it for less. Hs would like her to owa th old homsl Perhaps he might visit there sometimes. "Of course you might why. shouldn't be happy unless you did! If we can manage ' They, managed. Then and there Ere climbed into ths rattly old buggy behind the fat old horse and they went into Novel City. There was a great deal of red tape to be unwound at the court house, and when this was finish ed. Ere had given her check for 81,800 and a series of notes for 81,700. and within six months she would be the sols owner of Stony Wall, as the farm was called. She went back, looked at her newly acquired possessions with love and bursting pride. But now that tt was all settled, and hsr panle over ths thought of losing ths house, as wU as her exelts msnt over her first Important bus iness transaction was put, she felt a chin touch of fear. What would Ken say? Supeosing he would hare nothing to do with It refused point-blank to Tiro here! Ah, the disappointment of that, seeing the fine old place stand idle and deserted., knowing she never could come here, neerr could call it horns! "I must keep this t myself.' she decided finally. "Make a great secret of It Things must change some time; Ken and I well, w can't go on forever as were do ing. Ons way or another thing! must change. ' : "I suppo, her thought went on, "I could com her if . , . TEST FOR THE PERCH Oh, many things happen, and things you'd not want to think about. But a girl could live here by herself it she wished. Sh could make a living writing and there's Mary and Jimmy so near. And " But she was weeping then; stirred to tears by ths vis ion of life without Ken. Because of all that had hap pened, she decided to allow; her self a .bit of temperament and knock off work for the remain der of the day. She walked home through an afternoon grown sul try and oppressive. Out over the sound far beyond the Haverford hills thunderheads piled upon each other and still farther away toward the south lightning flash ed In a sky that was like a surg- ng flood. Sbs quickened her steps hoping that Ken was horns. Ths cottage was deserted, how ever, as Eve had left It in the morning. But once inside trees hid her view of mountains and sky and she forgot about ths storm, bustling about the prepar ation of beautiful dinner for Ken all of his farorlts dishes having learned that a great deal of very good food was likely to put him into a mellow frame of mind. For now shs had decided that she must tell him about Stony Wall; she could not keep her proud secret Ken must know. At six o'clock rain began to fall, largo splashy drops soaking Into ths thirsty garden and send ing up sweet, earthy odors. But not for another hour did the twi light of storm descend suddenly. preceded by furious winds, that sent leaves whirling, twisted branches, banged about the house like a thousand imps of mischief turned loose. Et hastened to close the win dows, fighting down apprehen sion. If Ken were in the hills! But she wouldn't think of this; Ken could take care of himself. He'd have found shelter when he saw th storm coming oh, shs wouldn't be Afraid she wouldn't let herself be afraid. Of courss h wouldn't come now. not through the downpour; shs would wait Calmly, very calmly. But when the lightning began to play tn sheets over ths whole earth and ths thunder relied wars after mlghtly wave of sound all about shs realised that she was not very brave after all. She kept seeing Ken on the mountains, de fenseless before all this fury, and fear sent her dashing out to the gats, looking up and down the road, though shs could sot see nothing through the deluge; dashing back to the house again to change her sopping clothes and walk the floor, wringing her hands. Such a kid as he was she should have taken better cars of Ma. She had faUed as a wife how she had faUed .... The storm passed over toward ths north and there was an hour of quiet; then a new tempest eame wilder than the first. In her mounting hysteria ft occurred to Ere that Ken might have gon horns with Puss If they vers to gether; frantically ah ran to ths telephone, gars th number shs had heard her husband call so many times. "Yes? Fuss voice sounded weak and frightened. "Listen is Ken over there?" "Ken oh" A sob; a ellck as the receiver was hung up. Again and again Eve tried to get the connection, but always-eame the operators answer, dim and far away under the roar of the storm. Tney do not answer." Kea was hurt he was dying i in at was way Fuss bad cried. There had been an accident; Kea wanted his wife, needed her he was dying over ther at Spring garden ... Driven by frenzied imaginings X DUZER and not at all knowing what she did, Ers threw Ken' slicker sround her shoulders, found ber old tam-o'-shanter and drew It on her head. She plunged into the rain, catching her breath, making her way against the wind to the garage. The top was up and ths cur tains on th car glory be for that. She backed out on the drive, swung into the road, the engine coughing as it with indignation at the battle ahead, and begant he drive to Spring Garden. xsoi as long as sne lived was Eve to forget that drive; times there would be when she would awaken from sleep, sick and trem bling with dreams of a solid waU of -water moving just ahead of two wavering funnels of light of wheels turned to jelly in a foam ing torrent of road, of a ear tee tering on the edge of an embank ment, turning squarely around in a crossroads whirlpool. But tonight shs knsw no fear ror ber thought was all ef Kan; A.en wao nesasa ner. sua vu waiting for hsr. calling hsr nam. Shs was solas to him aooa shs would see him, put her arms arouna mm. Soon now rsry soon tu car rolled coughing and sputtering into Spring Garden, stopped it ths cottags when Puss lived. Chilled and shaking. Ere stummed up the- steps and went in without bothering to knock. Someone was sobbing in a room at ins ena of a little hall. Eve followed the sound, pushed back a aoor.

Blanchet. $2000; Josepn eervais. 200; and Henry Buxton, zo: These mills represented tns er fort of leading men of the primi tive colony to turn the chief raw materials into manufactured pro duets. They were Oregon's first manufacturers, after the earlier operators of the Hudson's Bar company. "Merchandise existing In tne colony prior to 1844 was not taxed, the idea evidently being that only merchandise after wards imported should pay the levy. The exemption released val uations as follows: Dr. John Mc Loughlln, $2500; George Aber- nathy, $1600;. John H. Conch, 1000; F. w. Pettygrove, $zoo. "Luxuries represented by car riages, clocks, and watches were taxed. The citizens who had pleasure carriages were Dr. I. L. Babcock.

In the group- ot cattle own ers, tne richest was Hamilton Campbell, $4392; next, Jesse Ap plegate, $3600; third, Daniel Waldo, $3360. The owner of the largest value of horses also was Hamilton Campbell, $1870. Next was Joseph Gerrals, $800; third, Xavier Laderoute, $630.

The French-Canadian settlers latter had more liking for cattle specialised in horseflesh relative. y more thin the American. The More French-Canadian also own ed hogs. A reason for this pre ponderance, like that of horses, was the longer residence here of the French-Canadians. Thomas McKay had the most hogs. $250: after him, Joseph Gervals, $200.
