And while we have no literary Digest poll to determine the per capita consumption 'we daresay there were some arrests on Glorious Fourths We make no bold assertion that in 1930 on July 4 there was no drinking in Linn county but it would seem that no attests and no u tomobile accidents are proof positive that the great rank and file of people-In Linn county were sober And able to tra verse a street crossing without reeling or navigate a Ford to a picnic ground without attempting totramp their neighbor front the road or climb a telephone pole. , . There U much in relativity. Business Is slightly poorer than in 1929 and immediately we bewail thehard times for getting that 1930 is about good as 1927 -which was con sidered normal. Today's prohibition is by tod means perfect and we pine for the "good old days" forgetting that in linn county on July 4, 1930, and on July 4 if ever comes drinking, there was no "an arrest or a serious automobile accident" Restore fthe old days" and we venture the Albany-Democrat - Herald can print livelier if less happy news on the day after 'the celebration. . Grants Pass to Buy Water System , GRANTS PASS, convinced like Salem that municipal ownership of water is to be desired, last week voted through its council and its water commission, to acquire the property of the Grants Pass Water company. The voters of the city must validate the proposed purchase before it can be completed. Under th terms agreed upon Grants Pass will pay ap proximately $65,000 for its water system. This apparent bargain is qualified when it is realized that at least 230f 000 will be required to handle necessary new construction of the system, giving Grants Pass a water company property which will approximate $300,000 in cost. Citizens here will be interested to know that Baar and Cunningham, the same engineering firm employed by Sa lem, is to be considered as consulting engineers for the city in its proposed water system development Grants Pass, like all its many predecessors, for 75 per cent of American citiss own their water systems, has acted wisely in preparing to acquire its own water system before f ranchise and going-concern values could be pyramided. Sa lem should have taken this step years ago but to bemoan nast mistakes how for this citjr is futile! an Immediate ap praisal of the plant here, its acquisition by the Salem coun cil and water commission at a price consistent with the in herent worth of the local plant of the Ctoegon-Washington company, is the program now to be foQowed. Utility Commission Investigation A REPRESENTATIVE from Syracuse University, New York, and from Governor Roosevelt of that state has been in Salem this week to gather information about Oregon public service commission. like his eminent collaborator, , Mr. Hoover, the New York state governor it using the but vey system to back up recent changes in the Empire state's Administration of utilities and to prepare additional legisla tion. - . - An investigator will find at least two urgent necessities in any public service commission. The first is good person- .' nel chosen with regard for ability and not for politics. This qualification, so easy to propose, is exceedingly difficult to secure. Public service ' commissioners are human, often times need the job to make their previous training. Good on en, 11 and wnen tney are se cured, constitute the first essential of any successful regu lation of public utilities. M ' The second essential is a uniform standard f or valuA - tion &nd costs. The entire matter of a fair profit it effect ed by these standards' Given an "open door" b&eis for ac counting without limited charges for such items AS taalnten- ance, expense and depreciation almost way rate can be made fair.

No whales had yet' been sighted by the Bally, and her docks were clear of oil. Mr! Tichel's watch had the ship; .but Tichel himself, old man that he was, had stayed below and, was asleep in his cabin. Dan'l was asleep there, also; and Noll Wteg dozed in the after cabin! Willis Cox was reading, under the boat-house; and two of the harpooners played lldly at some game of cards In the lee of the rail beside him. Brander and the Ulan at the wheel had the after deck to themselves when Faith came Up from the cabin Boy was with her: Out the boy weftt ferwafd at nce end climbed the rigging ta the masthead, to stand watch with the men there. Ha loved to perch high above the deem, with the eea spread out nza a bide saucer ofiow mm. He teased Faith to go with him; but Faith shook- -her head. There was a certain physical Indolence about her that contrasted with the vigor of her habits of thought and speech; she liked to to sit quietly and read, or sew, or think; and she cared nothing for such riotous exertion as Roy lik ed. ' ,4, "No, Roy, she told her broth er, sou go 11 you like. 111 stay dowa here." "Come on. sfa." he teased. 1 guess you're afraid. Ton never could even elimb a tree .without squealing-. Come oa!" She laughed Voftfy. "No. I don't like to do hard things like- that' "I won't let you fall," he promised. . ! "Some day, maybe. Run along, Roy!" CHAPTER ATXVI The boy went away resentful ly a little more resentfully be cause Brander had heard her re fusal. He looked back from -the re rigging, and saw Faith standing near Brander. For a moment he was minded to so back and join them; but the dwindling line of the ropes above him lured him on. He climbed, lost himself among the great bosoms of the sails, stopped, to ride a yard like a horse aad exult when it pitched and rolled. He climbed, at last, to the masthead perch where the lookout stood in thetr hoops with, their eyes sweeping. the wide cir cle of the seas. .- Faith and Brander were to gether. Save tor the man at tha wheel, whom neither Of them heeded; they were etoee. Bran der was at the after rait when she appeared; he nodded to tier. She stood near him, hands oa the tail, looking out across kthe sew astern. The wind tugged at her, played with the soft hair about her, brow, whipped her cheejtkf to fire. . ; - - : . - She did not look at Brander, but. Brander looked 'at her. - The man liked what he saw; he liked not to much the beauty tit her as the strength and pOU4 taatliy .ta her face.- Her broad. lew brew, her straight, fine nose, her sweet ly molded - lips, eat -reaadiag chin strength there ant- caln, and power! '- Beauty?-too; -more than one v woman's - meat are ef beauty, perhaps; hut above all, strength. That was what Bran der saw. . it was nonew-thlngrxjirrthe man to study Faith's countenance. It .was firm-fastened-' la his thoughts; he could conjure it up at will, and it - appeared s before him, many ' times, r- without - his volition' Faith's evea were bins. der couduiaTer forget them. Tha eye of a ntaa trots woman is a thing almost aUve; it seems to have a soul of its own. Stand at one side; unobserved, and watch the eyes of your friend; yon will reel that yon are watching some living personality apart from the friend you knoWr- It is like spy ing on a wild thing which is hid ing in the forest. The eye Is so alert, ao quick to swing to right or left at any sound. Woman's eyes differ as much as women themselves. Faith's eyes were like Faith herself, there was no fear or uncertainty in them; and there was nb co quettishness, no seduction. They were level and calm and perfectly assured; and Brander thought that to look into them waa like taking a strong man's hand. He thought Faith as fine a thing as woman can be. Brander made sure that Faith did not see him studying her thus; nevertheless, she must have felt his scrutiny. She was con- scions of an unaccountable diffi dence; and when she spoke to him at last, without looking to ward him, her voice waa so low he scarcely heard at all. She said some idle thing about the beauty of the sea. The sky was so clear, ant the heavens were so blue, that sky' and heaven seemed to be cousins or sisters, their hands clasped at the far horizon. "I always think," Brander said amiably, "that looking off Into the blue on a day like this Is like looking deep into blue eyes. There seems to be a soul off there, something hidden, out of sight; but you can feel It looking back aj you." Faith Was so surprised that she looked up at him quickly, aide wise; and She smiled, her cheeks a little flushed. "I never felt Just that," she said. "But did you ever look at a hill, so far away it is Jest a deep blue shape against the sky? Blue's a beautiful color to look at, I think." He nodded. - "From my hUl." he salt, "1 .used to be able to see an itland northwest of the one where 1 was. Just a line laid down along the sea a line of blue. . She said nothing" in reply td this; and he said no more. iThej! were thus silent tor e little be-i fore Faith asked v ' i "Tell me, how Bid you live1 there? Whs at It lonely? Of were there others?" - Ho laughed. i wasn't lonely In the least,", he explained.

I've always loved, the smeil of the sea at home, and the sight of it. Buf'-Hshe grimaced harshly "I'm getting a bit tfred of salt water. 1 want te get ashore!' Bur, Brander agreed. "And when you've beea a month ashore, yba'H be hungry for the tea again. It's like a drug you get used to it, and you can't do With out it." "Do you think sot" "I know it. Wait and nee. After little ehe spoke ot the ill luck that had pursued the Sal- ir. "Isn't It unusual to go almost six weeks without getting a whale?" "No, not necessarily, he told her. "You may kill every other day for a year, and not see a fist for three months after. The whales seem to come and go, in some waters." "These?" she asked. - He nodded. "It's uncertain here.

Nothing but sunshine will serve tor arymg retted flax, up to the present. There have been many expert-) meats at mechanical drying, and great Claims are made for some ot them. But this process it sttn fa the experimental stage. Drying by sunshine is the only method that' will retain the resiliency ef the fibers retain its splnabiiity; make it a high class product for the markets. w. . This will perhaps not always be to. The drying is the last (save fttt) process of the ancients, In the dtyt ef old Babylon aad Egypt, that has net beea improv ed poa by modern methods and machinery. This hurdle will be vaulted by science . In - time, no doubt. Perhaps soon. But It has not beea dene up to date. The last, except a weave the Egyp tians knew, as shown.

These re quirements bare taken close to $290,009 in the past two years. Added to the $950,900 that the growers will Absorb, and added besides te all the capital Invest ments that had gone before, since It 15, whoa the state flax plant was established, this runs into a large ana tot (he total present assets of the state flax plant perhaps over $1,009,906. repre senting earnings that hare been mads, and saving, excepting for around $250,000 of original ap propriations. It would be a great thing for this industry, for the institution and the) state, if the legislature at' Its coming session could find a way to furnish the revolving fund f the Orego penitentiary with $200,000 to $400,000 more cre dit, or a way to have for use something like $750,000 to pay the growers for their flax to be contracted, for and grown oh lo 000 acres ot land next year.
