Again, The State Fair OYEZ, oyez, oyez, the state fair is about to open, j Mon day is the day for the beginning of this great annual exhibition. Preparations are being completed. Men and women are working line beavers to get everything dressed up for company; and the job promises to be done tomorrow iri rendiness for the thousands of visitors who are exjjected. sr The state fair is a ereat agricultural and industrial ex- nsiiinn with divertiner entertainment in addition.: It ;ap-; peals to the masses of the people, giving them a picture of development which thev never would get by reading.; There it ui i 4- .,v, 4- Wocf Ktovtnn trip hicr Tiart- Will Lrc iiic x l siuai iiuiii --, letts from Medford, the fine potatoes from Klamath or Red mond, the -tall corn from the Willamette valley. Then there will be the big bulls with their marcelled backs; and the massive swine; and the chickens with the funny Combs; .and the white rabbits. Recite them all one cannot; and it will blister one's feet to make the full rounds of the barns and booths and stalls. But all of us love it. We walk to plumb weariness looking at cows and cakes, at carrots and bedspreads, at percherons and painted china.. . The weather, yes the weather, for the weather is a most important factor in the equation of a successful fair. Well, the weather gives promise of being favorable. : Skies have been fair for the week past, and the days glowingly warm, sweatingly so, and coatlessly so. It may welj be that the weather gods will smile another week and give Salem . and Oregonians a good break for the fair. ; One must not forget the "horse festival. " There are the afternoon races, harness and running, with the? elite of the racing family doing their turn on the track. ; And; at "night the real horse opera, with the horse show on at the pavilion where the real aristocrats of the stables step their minuets and pose their parts. A great week looms. Oregon's own week land Salem's. About Salem's Power Venture THE Statesman feels that this way about Salem's going into the municipal power business: v.e should learn to walk before we start to run. Salem has just voted $1,200,000 in bonds to uy the water plant and initiate its municipal ownership venture. That is a sizable sum and a sizable activity to engage in. Voters and taxpayers have a perfect right to test th stew ardship of this sum before going farther afield. So far as selling five million dollars worth of utility certificates on an unborn municipal enterprise, that sim ply is not going to be done. Bond buyers are not quite so gullible. If it were put out in the form of mining stock or oil stock, it might be sold; but bonds secured only hy the assets of the utility would be unsalable except at; heavy discount. . ; : Salem has no legitimate complaint to make against the Marion lake development because Mr. Kelly, who made the . filings there, repeatedly endeavored to interest Sjalem in the project and to have the city proceed with the develop ment. He was turned down here and finally sold Hi.; inter ests to the Pepco. Havjng rejected the Kelly offer some years ago, Salem is in poor position now to demand priority at Marion Lake.

Conservative business "Judgment clearly dictates that Salem first show its capacity to operate successfully its soon-to-be-acquired water plant before launching isuch an ambitious program as the utilities committee of the; coun cil is proposing. Another Independent Candidate SURELY our gallant secretary of state Hal Hoss will not bar Mrs. Myrtle Purviance Wilson from entering the race for governor. Is there not some way in which the ex acting details as to precise moment of filing nomination papers may be overlooked? Surely Oregon's campaign; neetls the feminine touch this year, and Mrs. Wilson may be just tke person to lend appropriate color to what is now quite a dour and dark campaign. There have been those who saw no good in any bf the three candidates now absorbing so much attention; and en gaging in so much verbal fisticuffs. Mrs. Wilson' may be just the person for them to vote for. Of bourse she will have no quarter of a million to spend, like Ruth Hanna McCorm ick. And her campaign may not progress beyond the stage of complimentary publicity in the papers. Bt Mrs.lVilson appears as a diverting light j so by all meaas let her; enter. One independent deserves another. ( : Salary of Judges A candidate for justice of the supreme court, J. Et Hos mer, wrote a letter which The Statesman published Saturday. Mr. Hosmer offered to serve for the -cohstitu- tionat salary" of two thousand dollars a year. One would think a candidate for the supreme court should know his - state constitution along with his Blackstone. Evidently Mr. . Hosmer doesn't or he would know that in 1910 the eopIe V adopted an amendment to the constitution part of which reads as follows: "The Judges of the supreme and other courts shall . h . receive ' ch compensation as may be provideed by law." ; We call this to Mr. Hosmer's attention, so that if, when v and as lie is elected, he may in perfect good conscience draw has seventy-five hundred a year. !

Now -the? i smaller sizes are rapidly decreasing and the larger sizes are in increasing demand. "Size nine and One-half is the general average -worn by women, but size ten Is: coming more and more into deniand." I follow the statistician to this point. I must part company when he says, "In another generation there will be little difference In the size of a woman's and a man's foot." j 1 I don't believe It Tht is mere ly another of thei manyjdtre pre dictions we have heard about what will happen to women.

There's got to be an inventory taken of everything in that box. You can't destroy any of it's contents." The county treasurer had whirled at the sound of tearing paper. Aline Everett, standing in the corner with her back turned, was methodically dropping torn shreds of letters into the wire basket. But the county treasurer's way was unaccountably blocked by a tall, thin figure which stood be tween him and the woman in the corner. The wrinkled lids of the sheriff's eyes were lifted. His eyes blared with a cold and steady fire. "There ain't goin' to be no let ters In this inventory," he said quietly. But" 'I said there ain't going to be no letters in this inventory!" The words dropped with the tinkle of icicles. Bad men, wild and drunken men, had felt the chill of that high-pitched, nasal drawl in the old days, and had stopped in their .tracks before Simpson's hand had so much as strayed toward his gun. The treasurer felt it now, and paused, bewildered. Aline's hand darted to her handbag. In another Instant there was a sharp click and her open cigarette lighter with its tiny point of flame described a shining arc as she dropped it among the shredded papers in the basket. Smoke rose and curled in the windowless, steel lined vault. Not until it stung his eyelids did Pe ter turn from the table where he stood bending over the thin. closely written sheets which had been the only other contents of the box. "Well, for the love of Mike!" he exclaimed impatiently. Then, discovering the cause of the dis turbance which had set the other two men to stamping with heavy boots in the charred remains of the bottom of the basket, he turn ed to Aline. She was standing, unmoved by the commotion about her, in the center of the small, open space. 'I wish you'd fish out my lighter before they tramp on it," she said. There was a catch in her voice, but her uplifted face was triumphant. "Well, I'll say you're thor ough," Peter commented.- "And I'll say this much. Don or David couldn't resist any woman that crossed his path, but yours were the only letters he saved." Oh, that!" Alfne's shoulders lifted. "That deesn't matter any more. The only thing that mat ters is that it's over." "I don't know what this is all about, but it's most Irregular. It's likely to get the whole bunch of you into trouble," the treasur er protested as be extrieated bis feet fronr the waste basket. "There's three of us in rh room to swear that there never was anything in that box except the one paper that's on the table right now. I guess that simplifies your inventory some." The sheriff a Hps barely moved as he spoke, but Peter caught again the deepening of the wrin kles about his eyes. "Ma'am, I did you an injustice a white back and I don't like to be under an obli gation to nobody. "I don't blame you for not lik ing nte," Aline said with a shak en laugh, but her -eyes were steady as the sheriff's own. "I think we just didn't understand" is mora likely to get worse than better as times goes on now that long step has been taken in the wrong direction. Barker Demo crat-Herald. - By Nancy Barr Mavity each other very well. But I do thank you." Simpson took the hand which she extended and held it iu his huge bony fingers. "You've been a very foolish woman." he said severely, looking down at her. "But you've got nerve. I always did admire your nerve." Peter, once again oblivious, had returned to the table. His soft black pencil flew across the pad of paper which he had ex tracted from his pocket. "Just don't start anything else till I get this thing copied, will you?" he growled. His near-sighted eyes bent again over the close ly written sheets before him. ' To Whom It May Concern," he read. "If this is ever found I shall have lost my stakes or won them, I don't know which. I've left It up to fate, or luck, or Qod. "I've tried lo make myself go back and face the music, but I couldn't do it. I know that I nev er will. But if I'm found out well I won't be altogether sorry. There are times, like tonight, when I know myself for what I am. That is why I am writing this to show that I know. "I did not mean to kill my brother. That was an accident. I came back home, and learned that he hadtold mother I was dead. He said I'd already disgrac ed us all and broken her heart, and that he wouldn't let me see her. He called me a libertine and a bum and he was right. He was always right except once and for that once I killed him." Peter saw where the pen had rested heavily on the paper, leav ing the blot of a long pause be fore the words raced on. "He accused me of coming back because I wanted money money from mother. I knew I'd given her nothing to be proud of, but I loved her. Perhaps that is why I tried to break her heart, because here was the only love I couldn't win. "He told me I bad no right to keep the only thing that I'd tak en with me from home the ring that she'd had made years ago, one for each of ua. He wanted me to be dead. He wanted to take her .gift away from m because it was one remaining link with the life I had forfeited. But I had a right to keep it. "I was mother's son as much as he though they both wished I hadn't baen. When I told him Fd see him in hell before I gave up that ring, he accused me of keep ing it because I could sell or pawn it. That was when f snatch ed a golf club out of the corner and hit him "I can't say I was sorry when I found that he was dead. There was a sort of relief In it as It something that had tightened and tightened for years had broken at last. I'd always wanted to hit him -and now I had. He wasn't right any more he was dead." The pen had stabbed almost through the paper at the end of each of tha short, terse sentences as if the man who. wrote had held himself to speak briefly of things which be could not reveal fully in words. The pressure of emotion found rent only in those stabbing per iods, tearing at the paper which epesad so little of aU that lay behind. "Then I remembered that they would net kill me at once that people were locked up before they were tried; The handwriting was large and shaky now, with jerks that made It at time almost 11--, legible. "So I wiped off the golf club with my handkerchief and left as I nad come hy the French win dow. My mind was very clear. I even thought how fanny it was that Jerome was saving me against his will Jerome, who had always tried to make a prison of my life. "Because I had seen the light in his study, I had gone around that way when I came In, instead of ringinp the doorbell. Because he had tried to Mot out my very existence by telling my mother that I wa3 dead, no one could ever suspect that I had come back. "I knew I would never see my mother again he bad won a point there. But I took her pic ture from the mantel the pic ture where she sat between us, but with her eyea turned to Je rome. "It was a long time ago, but I remember the day that picture was taken, and how I hoped that just once her eyes would be turn ed to me. But they weren't. I've grasped at love wherever I found it natched at it for the mom ent, but somewhere in the back ground was always the love I didn't have, and waited for, hop ing and then giving up hope and rushing off to pretend that I did n't care. "The picture was never missed. But when I read the description of Jerome's body in the papers, mentioning specifically that his watch and pin had not been tak en, I .knew that his ring must be gone, and his money. Not even the police would fail to notice the ring if it were there, and he took out his wallet and offered me the bills in It in exchange for my own ring just before I hit him. "I knew that Lynn could not be guilty of murder, of course, but he had been guilty of rob bery. It must have been his foot steps that I heard on the stairs as I turned to leave the room. "I wrote a note to the police. It was dangerous, of course. If they traced the note to me, they would know that I must have been there. But they didn't and anyhow, it was the only way I had of finding out whether Lynn had robbed Jerome's body. "I called it a bet with myself if he were not a thief, I would have to come forward and not let him be convicted of the murder. But they found the money in his trunk then I knew that I could not have gone back anyhow. I couldn't face prison. The first time I ran away from home was because I was locked in my room. "Mother sent me there, but It was Jerome who turned the key. I thought I would go eraxy before I could get the window open and jump out. When Lynn was given life imprisonment, I knew that I could never bring myself to take his place. "I didn't know it all at once. For several years I told myself that It would kOl my mother to k-now that her son was a murder er, and that I must spare her that final disgrace. Then she died. But by 'that time Lynn had already served several years of his sent ence. It couldn't mean so much to him not what it would mean" to me. Perhaps he was even used to it by that time. And it he was not a murderer, at least he was a thleL 'I said all these things, and .most of the time I believed them. Sometimes I did not even think about It at all. But there are oth er times, like tonight, when X "know exactly what I have done. The murder was an accident but the cowardice that let an other man take the consequences for my act was net an accident I know now that I shall never tell anyone, except fa these words mat I should be in, Lynn's place prison. "It Is not that I fear danger it la certainty that I fear. I could make myself entirely safe by de stroying my mother's picture and (Continued on page 14) BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS The Cayuse war: S V Continuing the account of Judge T. C. Shaw: "About 175 men. all told, were the most that could be fully equipped and put into action, as many were ill and others were needed to guard the supplies. This was not a rery strong force to go out against such a horde of savages, but they went "out courageously. S "Word came through two In dians who had to be recognized by the officers, because of the white flag they carried, that the hostile redskins were headed for the (Snake) river, intending to cross. The militia traveled almost all night, until it was too dark to see anything, when they lay d-own to rest after putting out a picket guard. In the morning it appeared that nearly all the .In dians had already crossed the riv er, and as there were no boats available, nor tools with which to construct them, in the wholo command, our men could not follow the Indians at that time, but captured all the stock they could and started back to Walla Walla. They sent back to The Dalles the heavy cannon they had tried to carry along with them and as much unnecessary equip ment as possible. S S "They had not cone far in the direction of Walla Walla when they could see Indians corning in all directions. A line was hastily thrown out and they waited for the attack. When this seemed slow in coming, an order was giv en to fire. The Indians returned the compliment and the battle raged all afternoon. The militia found they had to contend with many times their number of the enemy, as well as to protect their stock. It was decided to turn the latter loose. S S "I hated to see this done, as I recognized oxen in the bunch that had hauled my friends, the I Sasrer family, across the plains. This family started to Oregon in j 1844. The father died at Green ; river of carun fever and the nioth I er died at Fort Hall of the same disease. The children had been ' brought as far as the Whitman I mission and left in Dr. Whitman's j charge. The two sons were killed during the massacre and the daughter taken prisoner. It was said that. the lad Francis was the only one who showed fight when they were attacked. Dr. Whitman i could not believe the Indians. with whom he had labored, would go so far as to take their lives, and waited until too late to de fend himself. "- "Returning ro the Indian skirmish at hand, an Indian in terpreter, called Mungo, had his horse shot from under him. and wDuld have fared badly had not a fresh horse been given him at once. Jacob BenLz. one of the militiamen, got a little too far from the lines, in order to get a better chance at the enemy, and was pounced upon by three In dians and received a wound from each of them. He was rescued just in the nick of time. Several hairbreadth escapes were record ed in that day's fight, but no real casualties. " mm "They fought furiously until the close of the day, when, near a place that is now called Waits burg and near a clear creek, the militia made camp for the night. It was here they turned the stock loose, as mentioned before. They had no rest, however, for all night ssipers kept up an occa sional firing, to be returned by our men. The ammunition was running low and care had to be taken in its use. They had to be as saving of this as possible. They were up and had breakfast before daylight, saddled their horses and took for the tops of the hills right near, avoiding the ambush they felt sure was pre pared (or them by the redskins, had they gone straight ahead.
