How are they going to? Well, just after this big film the Fox Elsinore showed a newsreel of Mussolini giving one ot his inflammatory speeches. The Italian dictator struts his part like a modern Caesar (Kaiser comes from the old Latin word "Caesar") and exhorts the masses of his people and they go wild with enthusiasm. Banners waving, people shout ing. But that is Italy and the Latins are oreotloni few whiffs of French grape shot and this Italian bubble WUl?nbAerica a picture like "All Quiet on the Western Front" will sap the fighting spirit. We state this simply as a matter of fact that if this government is planning on any early wars, it better cancel this film, the book, and a lot of other books with their realistic pictures of life in the trenches and death in the barbed wires. Vacate the Street IS the council going to let a few mossbacks and croakers block the expansion plans of the paper mill? The mill is asking for the vacation of a section of the end of Trade street on which it will erect an annex. This portion of the street will not shut off traffic There will still be ample room for movement of trucks. The property owners in the area are, we understand, agreed to the vacation of the portion asked for. Why then should there be any objection? The city isnt giving away anything because it never cost the city any thing. This end of the street is now used by the company i i l a. 1.

This city has previously vacated streets for the benefit of industries. The objection that it sets a precedent is a poor one, be cause a precedent like that is a good precedent. Anytime we can anchor industries with million dollar payrolls in Salem by vacating segments of scantily used streets, we ought to do it. Here is a chance to give immediate employment to man in the building trades and permanent jobs to a considerable number in the paper mill annex. We want to repeat our urging on the council not to be wnall-minded. Let's not apply village parsimony to city prob lems. We can't afford to be penny-wise and pound foolish. If necessary Vandevortfi sheep-dealers' ethics ought to be in voked when the city can mak aa good a deal as this for an addition to an important Industry.

She wished wistfully, that she- might be sure no one would come ; and so wish ing, she pressed on, each new pool among the rocM wooing ner afresh and urging, her to its cool embrace. She heard, in the wooa ahead of her, an increasing clamor of falling water, and guessed there might be a cascade there of larg er proportions than she had yet seen. The path left the stream for a little, winding to round a tangle ot thicker underbrush, and she hurried around this tangle, her eyes hungry to; 6ee the tumb ling water she could hear. Hurrying thus she came out suddenly upon the lip of the pool. It was broad and dark and deep; its upper end walled by a sheet of plunging waterj that fell in a mirrorlike veil and churned the pool to misty foam. Her eyes drank eagerly; they swung around the banks. And then she caught her breath and shrank back a little and pressed her hand to her throat. Upon a rock, not fifty feet from her, his baek half turned as he poised to dire, there stood a man a white man, for all the skin ot his whole body wa$ golden brown from long exposure to the open air. He poised there like some Winged-god. Faith had a strange feeling that she Jiad blundered into a secret temple of the woods; that this was the temple's deity. She smiled faintly at- her own fancy. God has made nothing more beautiful than the human body. whether tt be man's or woman's. Faith. thought, in the instant that she watched, that this bronzed aa of the woods was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She had no sense of shame in watching him; she had only Joy la the sheer beauty of him, golden-brown against the green. And when, even as she first saw him, he leaped and swung, smooth and straight, high through Aha air, aad turned with arms uka arrows ta pierce the bosom t the sooL she gasped a Uttle, as one gasps oa coming suddenly oat upon a mountain-top with the world outspread below. Then he was gone, with acarce a sound. She saw f or'an instant the golden flash lot him in the pool's depths. - His brown head broke the wa ter, far across the way. He shook back, his hair and passed his hands aeross his face to clear his eyes. . I His ayes opened and he saw her standing there, There were seconds on end that they remained thus, each held by the other's gate. Faith could not, for her; life, hare stir red. The spell oft the place was upon her. ! The man, for all his astonish ment, was the first to find his tbngue. He called softly across the water. 1 "Good morning,! woman!" Hi voice was so gentle, and at the same time so gay, that Faith was not alarmed. She smUed. nv afternoon." she said. "Good afternoon i-maa." When Faith answered hist the man's face brake jinto smUes. ' "It you're so familiar with the habits of the sua.! yon must be a real woman and not a dream at an. ho told her laughingly. Tm awake, am I not ?f "I should think you would ha. said Faith. "That! water mast be cold enough to wake anyone. - He shook his head. "No, Indeed, lust pleasantly eooL Cdp year hand la It," - Something led her to obey him. She bent by the pool's sandy brink and dabbled her fingers, while the man, a hundred feet away at the very foot of the wa terfall, held, his place with the effortless ease of an accustomed swimmer, and watched her. "Wasn't I right?" he challeng ed. She nodded. "It'a delicious." "Tour being here means that a ship is in, of coarse," he said quickly. "Yes." "What ship?" "The Sally Sims whaler." "The Sally! I know the Sally." the man cried. "Is Noll Wing still captain?" "Of course." Hla eyes were thoughtful. "I'm in luck, woman," he said. "Listen. Will yon do a thing for me?" "What do you want me to dot" "I've a sort ot a home, up on the hill above us here; an observ atory. I've been waiting four months for a ship to come along,! keeping a lookout from the top there. Missed the Sally somehow. Must have come In sight after I came down." "We made the island a little before noon, she said. "Ah, I was in my boudoir then. I want to ship on the Sally. Does she made men?" Her eyes clouded thoughtfully. "I think so." she said. "They lost two, three days ago." "What was it!" he asked quick ly. "Fighting whale?" She shook her head. "Boat got lost and they were short of water. The jug wasn't fresh filled." The man whistled softly. "That doesn't sound like one of Nell Wing's boats," be said. "Moll Is a stickler en those things Faith bowed her head, tracing a pattern in the sand with her forefinger. She said nothing. "How long before they sallf the man asked. They're going to trait for me," she. said. His eyes lighted. and he chnek led. "Good ! 'o w . Jisten.

Got a few things I don't want to leave." She had turned away, and she heard the water stir as he raced for the shore and landed. "I'm going now," he called. "How long will you be?" "Not over aa hour." "I'm afraid someone may come along this path. Will they? Should I hide from them?" He laughed. "Bless you, this is my private path; It's officially taboo to the natives, by special arrangement with the old witch-doctor who runs their afairs. There won't be a soul along. Ill be back In an hour." "Ill wait," she agreed softly. There was a light of mischief in her eyes. Still standing with her face downstream, she heard his bare feet pad the earth ot the path for a moment before the sound was lost in the laughing of the waterfall. A moment later came his shout. "I'm gone." She sat down Quickly on the sand, smiling to herself, sure of what she wished to do. She slipped off her shoes and stock ings with quick fingers. She ga thered her skirts high, and step ped with one foot and then an other into the pleasant waters of the pool. They rippled around her ankles; she went deeper. The wat ers played above her knees, while she balanced precariously In the swirling current and gathered her skirts higher. (To be continued) Yesterdays ...

I never thought Mr. Luelling re ceived the reward that his enter prise merited. I have dealt with him to the extent of thousands of dollars, from one dollar to two thousand dollar transactions, and always found him honest. Being hjnest himself, he trusted too much and consequently was vic timized' to a fearful extent. The conception and carrying out of that enterprise was not the sud den conviction as to the import ance of the fruit business, but was the result of a train of circum stances, the most controlling of which was his long and successful engagement in the nursery busi ness. "In the fall of 1845 he began to prepare to start to Oregon, but could not dispose of his land In time to start until tt would be quite late, so he concluded to wait another year and bring the 'trav eling nursery.' He planted his nur sery thus: He made two boxes 12 inches deep, and Just wide enough to fin the wagon bed, and filled them with a compost consisting principally of charcoal and earth, Into which he planted about 700 trees and shrubs, from 20 Inches to four feet high, and protected them from the stock by a light though strong frame fastened to the wagon box. He left the Mis souri river the 17 th of May. "On the Platte, Mr. Luelling took charge of the nursery wag on and team to bring it through In his own way and time, for it was already pronounced bv some of hla friends a very hazardous under taking to draw sueh a heavy load all the- wav over the RrwW moun tains; but every discouraging pro position he invariably answered, that so long as he could take it without endangering the safety of his family, ho would stick to it. The last time any one tried to dis courage him abont the nursery wagon was on the North Platte. Rev. Mr. White sueeested that it would be better to leave it as the cattle were becoming weary and footsore, and that owinar to the 1 continued weight of that load, it wouia kiu ail his cattle and pre vent him from evrttlna- threueh: but hla answer was sueh aa em phatic no that he was allowed to follow his owa course after that without remonstrance.

He moved to Indiana, and in 1844 was a member of the legislature of that state. While attending the legis lature at Indianapolis he came up on Oregon country literature and decided to see the western coun try; and he crossed the plains the next year, and the following year (1146) returned for the purpose of bringing out his family. So he was naturally chosen as captain. As Ralph C. Geer has told, many families afterwards prominent in Oregoa were in the Palmer cov ered wagea train. (The Bits man would be pleased to answer in this aolumn any pertinent ques tions about any of them). m 1. They Included such people aa the Ceers, the prims, the Collards. tha Taylors, the Bakers, etc., and those mentioned specially in the article quoted the last several days. Ralph C. Geer was one of the earliest school teaehers in the Oregon country, and ia many ways was a prominent and useful eitl tea. Former Governor T. T. Qeer's father waa Herman J. Geer, who was a son ot the original Joseph Carey Geer, Sr., who lived and died ia Clackamas county across the river, and not far from Bntte ville. Judge Grim married Eme line Geer, daughter of Joseph Car ey Geer, 8r. He was a member of the first territorial legislature ("841); was county commissioner and acted as probate Judge tor two terms, beginning In 1852, and was twice elected state senator, in 1868 and 1878. Judge Grim was a lead er of early Oregon activities. His home was near Aurora. S Joel Palmer published a guide book of the plains which was largely used by early imigrants. On tha donation land claim which he took up he laid off the town of Dayton. He was quartermaster and commissary general in the Indian war for the forces that went to punish the perpetrators of the Whitman massacre. He was a member of the lower house of the legislature In 1862, and or the senate in 1864-66. He was super intendent of Indian affairs In Oregon, appointed in 1853, and under his direction the Indians were gathered on the Silets reser vation, which he selected. He came within 630 Votes of being gover nor of Oregoa; ran on the repub lican ticket ia 1870, and was de feated by that slim majority by L. F. Grover, Oregoa then being a democratic state. He died at his homo in Dayton, Juno 9, 1881. Slit the Label; If Glue's Scant Its Real Scotch SAN FRANCISCO.
