The Anvil Chorus
OREGON is being treated to an overdose of lamentations
in this glorious springtime. Between the waitings of sev
eral of the gubernatorial candidates afid the recriminations
over census shortages, it is surprising that the state has any
residents left. Over at Sheridan Friday night the American
Legion had assembled various candidates for governor and
the speaker's platform became a wailing wall for those who
want to get the office through the promise of the efficacy
of their particular brand of promotion serum. A few count
ered, but the anvil chorus seems to have had the day. Even
The Oregonian accents the complaints with the comment
that "Oregon has not made the headway it should in the
last ten years."
What's the matter; what's the matter?
Every man has his theory! Joseph says: Elect me and I
will give you cheap power to bring industries. Ed Bailey
says : High taxeS on real estate are the trouble ; elect me and
the income tax and then the crowds will come. Hall says:
Elect me and I will "industrialize Oregon," presumably with
Class A stock. Norblad says : Elect me and III put pepper
on Oregon's tail. The Oregonian says our slow progress is
because the state "has not told its story in the same syste
matic and convincing manner that has brought results else
where." So we have the jerimiads of the discontented and the
panaceas of the politicians.
We would take all this deeply to heart if we had not trav
eled about some in the good old U. S. A. and i ided in dif
ferent states and heard something of the same wail of woe.
There is scarcely a state which does not have the same anvil
chorus working overtime. With a few outstanding exceptions
all the cities are engaged in internal backbiting over their
slow rate of growth. The big town tomcats have alley rackets
just like Portland has been having because the luncheon
clubs -haven't eaten the town into junior New Yorks.
All this coyote cacophony makes us tired. Oregon has
gone ahead in the last ten years; has made abundant and
gratifying progress by whatever measure one wants to use.
When the tally is complete we venture that our percentage
of growth will compare very favorably with either Washing
ton or California, that our rate of growth in value of manu
factured products will likewise be as high as most any of the
other western states. Oregon has had more railway construc
tion in the past decade than either Washington or California.
Its tourist travel has grown far more rapidly than Wash
ington, and in percentage, probably more than California.
The volume of foreign commerce out of the Columbia river
has likewise shown wonderful development in the past de
cade, and the number of shipping lines making Portland a
port of call is greatly increased. There has been fine growth
in production of specialized agricultural products, as well as
sustained volume of production in the major crops of wheat,
wool and sheep.
Oregon is just as alert to progress and development as
any other section; perhaps it has not been as generous in
spending money for promotion, but that is being corrected.
The old description of "mossback" doesn't fit a state which
has spent $100,000,000 in developing the finest road system
of any state in the west, the state which has taken a lead in
preserving and exploiting its scenic and natural resources,
a state which has made national records in many lines Of
produtcion, in dairying, poultry-raising, in flax-raising. We to tell them and, if tLyaktt,
are as eager for progress as anyone; but it takes more tha- to tarn it over to them.
campaign speeches and luncheon club resolutions to build
factories, cultivate idle acres, and develop our na'tural re
sources. '
Oregon is going ahead, but the anvil chorus of pessi
mism is more of a hindrance than a help.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR.
EMILY DUANE and her friend, Pauline Pennington, disappear
on Emily's wedding rehearsal day. Emily had gone to visit the
hospital, bat never arrived there. After leaving the Dnane home,
Pauline alio vanishes. Later, Pauline's body is found ia the ravine,
and, dote by, Emily's scarf.
" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

THEY retired to the other end

among themselves. It was

they all loved Emily, it was not

the excitement of it all rising
above the grief.
And, too, there was always hope.
Whatever had happened, Emily
might yet return safe and sound.

' People.' he said, "com back

"Perhaps Miss Dnane dropped
her fur piece as she was on her
way to the hospital and Mrs. Pen

I Lamb, who wu thinking deeply.
"Perhaps, but that necessitates
Miss JJoaners having gone first.''
"I eant see," put In Nell petu
lantly, "what earthly difference it
makes which one went fiat"
"That's the difference. If Miss

! Lumber is the Sacrifice
LUMBER was the lamb at the slaughter Friday. By an
overwhelming vote the house of representatives defeated
the proposed tariff of $1.50 on lumber and likewise voted to
keep shingles on the free list. Congressmen Hawley and,
Albert Johnson of Hoquiam led the fight in favor, of these
rates, but in the name of "farm relief" the tariffs for the aid
c-f these distressed industries were defeated. It was the votes
of the mid-western representatives who have had increased
duties on most all their agricultural products that defeated
the duties on lumber and shingles.
This robs the sick lumber industry of the northwest of
or.e ray of hope. Though it qualified as did few other indus
tries, with the Hoover formula of limiting changes to indus
tries suffering from adversities, the opposition of the con
suming areas was too great Now all that Oregon appears to
get out of the tariff measure is a cherry, a nut and a ball of
wool. Measured in dollars and cents, the added protection on
these products, while important, will not be large to the state
as a whole, when compared with the expected benefits to
fiow to a big industry like lumbering.
There will be a disposition to blame the defeat on Con
gressman Hawley, but he is no more to blame than Johnson,
Hadley of Bellingham or other northwestern representatives.
They suffered because they were from those states which
Grundy said ought to "talk darned small The bouse is not
nearly so much of a social club as the senate.
Tar iff -making lias become more than ever a clash of lo
cal interests. The old theories of broad beneficence are prov
ing a mist to cloud the activities of the organized forces of
local selfishness. The present' tariff satisfies nobodv: about
the only reason to vote for it is that another revision might
be even worse. Tariff duties have not been decided on the
basis of needs, but on the basis of votes, political deals or po
litical fears, tnougn there Is nothing new in that.
Lumber will simply have to solve its own problems even
if that means busted companies, busted employes and busted
communities. We have seen grass growing in the lumber
docks on Grays Harbor; it may have to grow there again
until healthy conditions are restored in the lumber market.
The G.A.R. post at McMinnville will end Its organization today
when its guns and flags will be turned over to the Spanish war vet
erans, for later delivery to the American legion. Time has decimated
.the ranks of this post, till only three survive, two of them ia poor
health. The charter of the post will be delivered to the department
commanders. But a little while, and all the charters mast be sur
rendered, and the once powerful organization of "boys In blue" will
become bat memory, sacred to those who knew them, and to those
coming after, who know the value of the service they rendered to
country and humanity.
The stock market had another bad heart attack last week which

said, realizing, after being told,
the truth of the matter.
"Do you mean to-night?" asked
Lamb.
"I think so. It's only a little af

chaps are not early birds, want
to telephone. Lsmmie?"
"Yes. What shall I say?"
"I think Td say that we have
a bit of what may bo evidence,
and shall we telephone about it,
or will they toddle round?"
Lamb inwardly rejoiced thai
Sayre was at least coming out ef
his apathy enough to speak a lit
tle more lightly, and went to the
booth.
He returned to say Lawlor

The detective came and listened
to the story.
He was greatly impressed, he
seemed astounded, and his expres

The census:
e
A card or thanks and a note
of appeal:
The census enumeration for
the second Oregon district, head
quarters Salenf, talcing in Marion,
Polk, Yamhill and Tillamook
counties, has been conducted
strictly according to the program
of the heads of the department at
Washington. Among the direc
tions to supervisors was a recom
mendation that, at the end ot the
work ot enumeration, tho news
papers should be asked (tree of
co), to publish cards requesting
those who thought themselves
overlooked to mail their flames
on the coupons to the supervisors.
S e e
All the newspapers of this dis
trict have freely responded, in
cluding th two Balem news
papers. This publicity campaign
is still going: on. and this kee-ps
the schedules open for a short
time yet. In order that the enum-
eraors still in the field, or the
office force where the enumera
tors hare turned in their schwl
ules, may check up, and add the
names in case they are entitled to
be added. This process automatic
ally gives a slight extension of
time necessarily so, for in some
cases 1000 and more names must
be scanned to verify the correct
ness of one person who thinks he
has been missed.
S
Now the card of thinks is to
the faithful and patriotic people
who have reported, and are yet
reporting, for themselves and
members of their own families or
households, or for their neigh
bors or others within their know
ledge. A man and his wife came
to Salem from California, he to
work here. They established their
home here a few days ago. They
had not been enumerated there,
or on the way here. They are
clearly among Salem's population,
and they surely wanted to be
counted in the population of the
isolated case. There are manv.
S
A Salem lady is a world trav
eler. She Is Just now in Africa.
She will surely not be enumerat
ed there. Her permanent home is
in Salem. She has been enumer
ated as a Salem resident. Neither
is that an isolated case. A Salem
boy has enlisted in the fighting
forces of the United States. He is
not at West Point or Annapolis,
or at San Diego, or any perman
ent post. He is at sea. on a ve&sel
of Uncle Sam. So his mother
gives him m as a Salem resident.
She is entitled to do thts. Other
wise he would not be counted as
a resident of the United Spates,
though working and training to
defend the good name of his
country. Neither Is that an iso
lated case.
A bcry Is away at school, at
Eugene; and a girl at Monmouth
or Corvallis, or studying music
or some other branch at Portland
or Chicago or elsewhere. Her
home, or his, as the case may
be, is till In Salem. The enumera
tion should be here. A stndent
does not lose his residence, for
census purposes, by being away
from home at school. It is differ
ent with teachers, where they
live or room or board In the dis
tricts where they teach. So all
Salem teachers except one, so far
as known, have been counted ia
Salem's population. The one not
counted lives outside of the city
and neither rooms nor boards or

census home here. Her name is
entered la the district where she
lives. Tbe cases of the students
eo not by any means constitute
isolated cases.
"e m 'm
A man has his home In Salem.
He works for one of the state de
partments. His family is now
with him. at his Job? m eastern
Oregon. He is loyal to Salem. He
has responded to the call of the
"pink slip" sent to him. He is
counted. Neither is that ao iso
lated case.
V
Salem loses the enumeration
ot all university students who do
not have their homes In this city.
She is not allowed to count a
single persoa outside tbe city lim
its. This eliminates more than
5000" people, in the institution for
the- feeble minded, state tubercu
losis ho?plal. deaf mute school,
girls' industrial school, and all the
people outside the city limits to
the south, east, north and west:
including West Salem. (Even
West Salem has a large popula
tion outside its limits). It
eliminates about 1000 at the Sa
lem Indian raining school. Even
Marion county loses 600 or more
there: for the students are sup
posed to be taken on the reserva
tions or at heir homes.
S
The meropolitan district that
ought to be Salem, or that really
is Salem .depending upon he acti
vities of this city for their liveli
hoods, contains around 32,000
people. But the metropolitan dis
trict does not count in census
matters, as Portland will find.
The enumeration totals will stand
for the next 10 years at what the
fi.Eyiref; sTiow for the people
counted within the present city
limits. There mu?t be some rule.
That Is the rule.
Now for the appeal: It is the
duty of every loyal Salemite. un
derstanding the purport of the
above suggestions, to answer the
newspaper appeal, or In some
other way to get word to the cen
sus headquarters in the Salem
postoffiee. building, in case of
knowledge, or even suspicion,
that some one who ought to be
counted hag not been counted, or
Is likely in one of many ways to
be missed from the count
e S
And fo do It now. Today, or
tomorrow, or before the end of
the present week. There can be
no good excuse for holding the
schedules open longer, unless
something not now known may
come to light. The phone num
ber of the census office is 686.
The office Is on the second floor
of the postoffiee- building, third
door to the right. It is open about
16 hours of the day (and night),
and every niemebr of the force is
anxious to cooperate so are the
enumerators who have been in
the field.
S
They realize that what the
footings shall show, after a few
more short days, will for 10
years stand before the country
and the world as Salem's popu-.
iation.
W - e
And that will mean much, in
many ways. The location of new
industries will hinge on this. So
will the establishing of branch
offices, bringing new payrolls and
people. So will the making up of
advertising campaigns of various
kinds, bringing more money to
Salem to enter the channels of
trade here, in 1000 ways.
W S
That is how important this
matter is. It concerns every prop
erty holder or worker for a daily
wage or a monthly salary. It is
more than a matter of pride. It
is a matter of business. Salem
should have extended her bound
aries. It was attempted. The out
siders, most of them, wanted to
stay ontside. That matter should
have attention before another 10
years. It is too late for this census.
