CopelarjL M.D. ,. , . Lambs in Wall Street - FT1HERE is a widespread belief that the major losses in A speculation in Wall street are borne by the small invest or3 out in the sticks. Lambs, they are called. They stray blissfully into the den of wolves, there to be shorn. The ac tual facts scarcely bear out this theory. Studies that have been made show that the small investor has much greater in- tellisrence in his financial operations than he is usually cred ited with. The noteworthy thing is that the dispersion of stock ownersmp occurs most widely in times when stock prices are low. When prices get to rising the small investor being less experienced usually sells out and takes his gains before the peak of the price movement is reached. Even the good Bishop Cannon had a book profit when his brokerage firm failed. And Claudius Huston, the immaculate chair man of the republican national committee, cleaned up a few hundred out of the self-made loan from the treasury of the Tennessee River Improvement association. . The best proof of the truth of this theory that the gen eral public is not so stupid as the newspaper paragraphers make out is shown by the most recent statistics as to stock holders' lists in large corporations. We quote the following from a circular of a New York stock exchange firm which has come to this desk : "During 1928 and 1929 stocks accumulated in Wall Street margin accounts, brokers loans mounted, turnover of shares was rapid, and the percentage of outright purchases seems to have declined. Since about the middle of October stocks have been passing out of Wall Street into the hands of in vestors who are becoming shareholders of record. The real distribution of stock? apparently has been brought about on the way down. Since the break in the market the small in vestor has been the biggest buyer of stocks; and there is abundant evidence to indicate that last fall's collapse result ed from the financial dilemma of larger traders. "From a technical standpoint the biggest thing which the price adjustment has accomplished is a wider diffusion of corporate ownership. Many big blocks of margin-held com mon stocks have been broken up and the number of stock holders of record never' was so large as at present. Mont gomery Ward had 11,773 common stockholders on August, 4th, just one month prior to the peak of the stock market advance. On May 7, 1930, the company's shareholders' list had increased to approximately 51,250 names. General Mo tors Corporation on February 15, 1930, had 218,392 common stockholders, or 100,625 more than on August 17, 1929. Unit ed Gas Improvement in the summer of 1929 had '23,004 shareholders compared with 68,500 at the end of the year. United States Steel's list gained from 110,166 at the end of the third quarter of 1929 to 124,069 at the end of the first quarter of 1930. Pennsylvania Railroad had 184,997 hold ers of record at the beginning of October and 196,119 at the end of December. The number of names on the books of such companies as Radio Corporation, International Nickel. Anaconda, Standard Oil of New Jersey and Packard Motor Car showed a phenomenal gain during the final three months of last year. Here is testimony from Wall street itself that the people who were trimmed last fall were chiefly the pool operators, the board room boys, the ticker-thumbers, the tip-takers. The innocent lambs of Kansas and North Carolina and: Idaho were the ones who jumped in when stocks were on the bar gain counter. They are in now all right, and all waiting for bulls to start the escalator.

HENDRICKS- The Printing of John Henry Nash LOVERS of good printing ought to step into the lobby of the First National Bank today and see the display of the work of John Henry Nash of San Francisco. Bibliophiles will revel in the treasures more than if they were turned loose in the bank's strong box to finger the bonds and the greenbacks. Nash is one of the greatest printers in the world. In fact, he says himself that he is the greatest; which ought to settle it. He has done some noteworthy work and is now engaged on what is to be his magnum opus, the Irmting of a new translation of Dantes Divine Comedy. In this little group of products of his print shop are books, brochures, broadsides, small circulars or announce ments. What a contrast one will find in the typography of two of the books: one volume of the Book of the Psalms; the other the announcement of his edition of the Divine Com edy. The Psalm book is. done in heavy text type with large cursive initials. The marginal decoration is wide and highly .ornamented after the fashion of old bibles. Only the Orange of the running head and the blue of the initial letters at each of the psalms lightens the heavy page. f The announcement book is altogether different.? It is printed on a fine, hand-made crash stock. A new cutting of Cloister Old Style Lightface type is used, far more graceful add lighter in color and tone than the "old English" text of the psalm book. The margins are wide, but light blue rules are the only borders, leaving the wide, white margin to add to the effect of lightness. There is an art in printing. It has its mechanics just as do painting and sculpture. But with the craftsmen like Nash, the mechanics are but the vehicles for the expression of an art motif. Anyone with an 'appreciation of art wiD find much to study and admire in this little collection whose exhibition is made possible through the agency of the Salem .

May 28. Being the author of the charter amendment which Mayor Eastman calls "the most atrocious smead ment Silverton ever placed on her books.' I hone and believe I am entitled to defend It. Ia y star- day's Statesman under a lull page heading, "Stlwtoa Mayor Flays Charter Barrier to Cleansing Creek" the mayor Bays his "hands are tied." Now that is too baaV bat It Is really true, and the peo ple who passed the amendment twice through, the tnttiattre, think as I do, that his hands ought to bo tied. We don't want a king and -his- nobles to have unlimited power In Sflrertoa. If,' however. Mr. Eastman wants to clean Bu yer Creek he can easily untie his hands for that purpose for the ma orlty df the people want to build up Silverton and clean up the rot- tear condition here, both U the sewer department, and in the po litical conditions as well.

CHAPTER XLH. At last Stone rose, but Miss Wolcott said, hesitatingly! "I haven't yet told you what I want to tell yon." Get on with it then," he re turned, looking at his watch. He had already, learned how to talk to this vacillating young woman. "It'a it's about a sort of so cietynot society, but a band or clique or something for for forming a new raoe Let me help you, said Stone gently. "You're in mind a move ment for an institution or com munity that shall hare as its pro genitors only the best and finest specimens of our young people, and they shall be held captive and made, to become the fathers and mothers ot a superior race of hu man beings that shall lire In sort of Utopia" "Yes, yes, how did you know?" "I know all about that thing. It may be sincere In its Intents, but it is not above suspicion in its ways and means. Now, you think that maybe Miss Duane was ab ducted for that purpose, and spir ited away to the lair of these peo ple and will never be seen or heard of again." "Yes, Mr. Stone, yes. That's what I think, and you see, when they took her, Polly Pennington was with her, and they had to get rid of Pony, or she would tell on them." "I see. Now, Miss Wolcott, dis miss all this from your mind; there's nothing in it. For, In the first place, they don't want young people of Miss Duane s type; they want large, handsome blondes, Nordics, the type that they hare decided Is best for this scheme of theirs. This is no disparagement to Miss Duane's beauty or charm, but I happen to know that she is one ot the persons they would not select. And, another thing, no use painting them blacker than they are. I m very sure they would not resort to murder, or to crime ot any sort, other than their abduc tions, which they do not consider crime. If you'U take my advice. youll not mention this theory to anybody else, for I assure you it is not the true ene, and why stir up a hornet s nest over nothinr at alir We're going to find Miss Du ane, and yon have already been ot the greatest assistance to me. Now will you let me linger here a moment to look at some of your interesting books, and then I will collect Miss Bailey and run along borne. Aa good as his word. Stone re mained la the tiny library a few moments, and then reappeared. and he and Betty said good-try to their hostess and made their way back to KnoUwood. You're learned something! Betty exclaimed. "You don't hare to tell me! You learned something important." "I did, you little witch. How do you read me so. well?

Tne help she gave me he didn't know she was giving." "Well, I won't tease. I know you'U tell us when you get ready. And now can you get Emily back?" "I hope so: I sincerely lyope and believe so." At KnoUwood they found Abel Collins also the Reverend Mr. Garner. And these two. guests were en gaged in a spirited discussion about the general character and spirit of Emily Duane. Sayre had become so Incensed ai their remarks and insinuations that he had left the group and gone to the library, where Stone found him. Idly looking over some illustrated papers. "Cheer up, boy," ho said, brighter days are coming." "I couldn't stand that old par son' Rodney exploded. "He insin uated the worst things about Em ily.: "Such as?" "Oh, you know her little fool ishnesses about the wedding cere mony. She Intended to omit the word 'obey and she said she meant to keep her maiden name after we were married, and such matters. As if I cared. Probably she'd change her mind about it anyway. But that dreadful man Implied that any girl who held such ideas was quite capable ot throwing ber friend down the ra vine or anything else. I wanted to throttle him." "1 don't blame you." said Stone. "But let him go. add forget it. Ho isn't worth worrying over. Now. Sayre, I have to go to New York tomorrow. And I want you to hold tne rort bere." Ot jou-se; but what can I do?" "Nothing hot wait And watch. I don't expect anything to break, but something might.

"For the first time?" "Yes, they had never seen him before, and he was holding meet ings and they went, and somehow ho spotted them as easy marks. and he attached himself, rather. and he gqt money from them for his cause. Well, then one day, he proposed they all have their pic tures taken, and they did, Pauline and the Swami, and Emily and the Swami. and all three togeth er. Then, and I never was sure It was the Swami's doing, but I strongly suspect it, the photo grapher took some trick pictures, as they call them. You see and probably you know morn about it than I do they nave a prepared plate or something, and a girl sits on a bench and has her nicture taken but when It is finished up there's a man on the bench also, with his arm around her."

(To be continaed) , , The provisional government: S As related in this column yes- , terday. Bancroft called the gov ernment set up the day alter the funeral of Swing Young, at the Methodist mission house at Cham poeg, February 18, 1841, the pro visional government. But what we know as the provisional gov ernment was due to the over tures that started in the autumn or 1812, overtures from the Amer icans to the French Canadian set tlers to assist in the movement, which the latter declined, "pre sumably." as Bancroft wrote "by the advice of McLoughlln and their spiritual adviser, Blanchet" The position of Dr. McLoughlln at this Juncture was embarrassing. It was evident that some form of political legislation must before long grow out of the persistent consideration of the subject. To aid or even countenance the es tablishment of a government ow ing exclusive allegiance to the United States would be disloyal to his country and to the interests of the company. An independent gov ernment would be preferable to this, though there was danger that such an organization, being Amer ican, might enact laws depriving him of his property rights south of the Columbia, at "The Falls," (Oregon City). Plainly the most prudent course he could follow was to avoid the issue if possible until the two governments claim ing jurisdiction had settled the matter. It was with this end in view that be, directly or indirect ly Influenced the Canadians to reject the overtures of the Amer ican settlers. They professed cor dial sentlmeniB toward the Amer icans and the gentlemen who had invited them to participate in forming a government, and de clared that they were in favor of certain regulations for the, pro tection ot persons and property, and were willing to yield obedi ence to the officers chosen at the meeting of February 18, 1841, al though they did not approve of all their measures. They declined to address a petition to the United States, as solicited, until tho boun dary should be established. They were opposed to the land law in contemplation by the supporters of the government scheme, be cause they had no guaranty that all would not be changed by the succeeding government. They ob- ected to a provisional form of government as being cumbersome instead of helpful to the colony. Men of laws and science, they said. were still few in the country, and had enough to do without legislating. W They proposed, however, that council or senate be chosen for the judgment of offenses, except capital ones, and to make suitable regulations tor the people; that the council be elected and compos ed of members from all parts of the country to constitute a parlia ment, the president of the council and another member being em powered to act as justices ot the peace in each county, with the privilege on the part ot the peo ple to appeal causes to the whole council. The members, they said. sseuid be influenced by a desire tor the public- good, and not for their own gain. Taxation they pro nounced Inexpedient, and especial ly onerous to new arrivals in the colony; and they would not eon- seat to be taxed. As to milita. they declared it needless, and the occasion of eusplclon to the na tives, as well as a hindrance to necessary labor and an expense to the peopl& The country, they contended, was open to all nations until Its sovereignty should be de termined, and people might settle in it without being called upon to declare to what government they would give allegiance in the fu ture. They desired to be in unsion with all respectable citizens, or else to be left free to make such regulations a appeared most nec essary to themselves, until the coming of some lawful authority, to which they would cheerfully submit. While they did not forget that eome laws might be profit ably adopted even then, they held that the more laws there were the greater the opportunity for rogue ry and for subsequent changes which might not 1e profitable. Be sides, ia a new country tho more men employed and paid by the Stone. eritJcally, ?but you're not except that they met the Swami." publio the fewer remained for In dustry. The address concluded with the assurance that none could be more desirous, of the peace. prosperity.'and liberties of the col-j ony than themselves, and with good wishes for "all those who are or may become our feuow coun trymen. S S Although Dr. McLoughlln bad taken no open part in these pro ceedings, be was naturally and rightly supposed by the rebuked and offended originators of the provisional government idea to bo responsible for the attitude taken by the French settlers, and a feel ing of hatred toward him grew. Meetings were likewise held ia other parts of the colony; one at the Oregon Institute (on Wallace prairie, now the Bush place northeast of the present Oregon school for the deaf) , where W. H. Gray then resided, and was em ployed as a carpenter and teach er, for February 2, 184S. Gray wrote and circulated the petition for the meeting, ostensibly caUed for the purpose ot devising means of protecting the herds of the country from wild animals, but really as a device by which the settlers, French and American, might be brought together, and the plan of a provisional govern ment broached. The minutes of the meeting occupy less than half a page, the only business accom plished being the appointing by Dr. Babcock, the chairman, of a committee of six, to give notice of a general meeting to be held at tho house ot Joseph Corrals oa Monday, the 6th ot March. Bancroft says: "Gervais had al ways been the active helper and friend ot the Methodist mission, of which he was a sort of lay member; and it was customary to hold meetings of a religious or secular nature at his house, which was a convenient center of bus iness for the settlers, about half way between Salem and Cham- poeg. As almost every settler had Buffered from the ravages of wild beasts, the meeting was fully at tended. James O'Neil was chosen chairman, and George W. LeBret on secretary. The business for which the people had come to gether was conducted to a satis factory conclusion; a bounty be ing fixed for every species of an imal killed. A committee was ap pointed to receive the proofs, a treasurer chosen, and regulations were established. Tho association thus formed was known aa tho 'Wolf Organization,' and was what it purported to be, a meas ure for the protection of domestie animals." James H. O'Neil, chairman of the "wolf meeting." came with the Wyeth party In 1884, along with Jason Lee and his missionaries, and he was converted and joined the Methodist church. Le Breton was a Catholic, having been con verted at the St. Paul church. Ho gradually withdrew from activ ity In that church (one historian saya on account of a lore affair), and was active In forming the pro visional government and became its recorder thus being Oregon's first secretary of state. He came from Massachusetts. He was wounded in the Cockstock fight at Oregon City ia 1844, and died from the wound. a w (This series on the formation of the provisional government will be continued in tomorrow's issue.)
