Governor Norblad ITIHE Portland Telecrram throws a fit because Governor X Norblad gave a radio talk in favor of Phil Metschan for governor. It advances the very petty reason that the govern-, or should spend his time serving in his office because he i3 paid by the taxpayers. . ; Doesn't the governor have any time off at all? Hi3 radio address was made at night, and that after a full and busy day in his office. . . We can imagine the ecstasy of delight with which the Telegram would have hailed a radio address from the gov ernor in favor of Julius Meier. He would have had a big boost on the front page, with a two-column cut; the whole being advanced as evidence of his and Meier's greatness. Governor Norblad is not a bolter. He took his defeat In the primaries manfully, and is carrying on in fine shape throughout the remaining months of his administration. In fact he has been winning widespread commendation for the way he is managing state affairs. Always a republican, the governor would not bolt to boost an independent with no proper claim upon the suffrage of the republican party; one who now is assembling mavericks of all parties in his effort to win his fight. . What the governor said deserves the careful consider ation of the voters, and we quote his radio address in part as follows: : ' The lending of aid and comfort to an iadepeuc' -ni movement, born ol dissatisfaction, will go farther toward . -troying confi ; rionoa in thA nrimarv system than any other one i.-'ng, for it is only a step from a state independent ticket to independent tick ets in our counties and nation. "The republican state central committee and the democratic Btate central committee are Integral parts of our state primary law. The members are selected in the manner prescribed by that law', and the fact that we have neglected our state central com mittees, and that we have come to look upoa them as a sort of appendix of no particular value, does not depreciate their value. If we fail to appreciate the importance of those committees the fault is ours, and not that of the direct primary law. 'Phil Metschan, republican candidate for governor, was nom inated under our primary system, too, and his nomination, al though made by the state central committee, i Just as valid and should be Just as. binding upon members of the party as though, he had stood for the nomination in the spring elections. "Phil Metschan is a man of many excellent qualities. He has the type of mind that qualifies him to occupy the govenor's chair. When he reaches a decision, you may be sure that he has reached It without passion or prejudice. He has the courage to speak and to defend his convictions." Stop, Look and Listen THE city council is to meet tonight presumably to: act among other things on a Five Million Dollar bond issue proposal which the public utilities committee of the council presented to other members just a few nights ago. We doubt if many of the councilmen have had oppor tunity to study this 24 page ordinance critically. The edi tor of this paper has not had time, securing a copy of the ordinance only Wednesday. A cursory reading discloses that it has within it provisions which we regard as danger ous: this five million dollars worth of bonds may be sold at any discount; they may be given to any contractor who will take them (at whatever discount he may figure for "liimcplf nnrl rharce un in the work). The Statesman urges the council to STOP, LOOand got- ""ofbe t ktrm hoforp adnntino- this ordinance and presenting it L aeent- M"d MaiMrf. to the people. i There is at present an hysteria over public ownership, so that straight business propositions like issuing Five Mil lion dollars worth of bond may not be studied in as criti cal and cautious a manner as should be. Salem doesn t want to be rushed off its feet into an orgy of Frenzied Fi nance.

Her home life ia far from pleasant. She lives with- an aunt and a snooping girl cousin. Nell is all right until she spies a "swell" rid ing a horse. Neil chides Ardeth jealously. The next day Ardeth sees a picture of Ken Qleason, the man on the horse, in the roto gravure section and her heart thumps. But Ardeth comes to earth with the usual bickering with Bet about stockings. CHAPTER 5 "Come back for that sandal wood fan you were looking at last week. Miss Parker?" Ardeth ask ed as she came up to Jeanette. "Noi Something more Import ant. You." Jeanette blew a cloud of cigarette sm'oke down her long thin nose and looked mysterious. "Ardeth, love, you and I are go ing Into business together." Ardeth regarded her with puz zled golden eyes. "I'm fed up on society stuff," said Jeanette loftily. "I'll kick and scream if I have to go to an other tea or a dance or a bridge game! I've become an Earnest Worker, Ardeth. I'm going to op en a shop and you must come and run it for me." Ardeth looked her astonish ment. "A shop? You?" A Parker turned shopkeeper! Jeanette smiled. Very pleasant to have this girl's obvious admira tion. Soothing to vanity bruised by years of playing second fiddle to a younger and prettier sister. "Yes, infant. A Bhop I!" she nodded. "And I told you I was utterly fed up on the social end. You've no idea how I'm run rag ged, Ardeth. The price of popular ity, I suppose!" She shrugged with an air of comic helplessness. "But I happen to have a mind which demands food and I'm out after a career, darling." She flipped the ash from her cigar ette airily. The other girl stared at her, uncertain how to take this. Ardeth could not begin to guess at the tangled events which had led up to this moment. What Jeanette would not ad mit even to herself was that this sudden' decision on her part was a pose. It was to be an ex cuse for not shining socially as did the younger and prettier De cile. Jeanette was already practicing little slighting remarks about "idle women" which she would toss on to admiring male ac quaintances hoping they would take the hint and mark the dif ference between her own effici ency and her sister's frivolity. "Her business" would provide a convenient excuse for refusing invitations to dances and house- nil, rw mi--' i going into business together.'

"I'd love to so, of course " Jeanette would say airily, "but I'm a working woman now, you know. My business . . . I'm so devoted to It " She would give little expressive shrug. That line should go well with men. She went on. "I'm going to op en a small specialty shop in the finest shopping district. No es pecial line, you know, but the newest and most expensive nov elties. The latest perfume. Or slipper buckles. And Spanish shawls. And I want you. Infant, to come and tend shop for me." She knew what she was doing. did Jeanette. She did not intend being tied down to dally duty be hind a counter. So long as it pleased her she would play at "keeping store." But she wished to be free to put on her hat when the mood mov ed her, to drift to the St. Fran cis or the Fairmount in the after noon to boast of her business ov er the tea table. Ardeth wai to be the crew. Jeanette would be all the officers. "I'll pay you whatever you're getting here," she went on cap ably. "I must have you with me." Ardeth had turned away and was absently shoring about pack ages 'of Incense with one slender finger. Her face was carefully business-like, but her heart had set up an exciting pounding. Instead of Jeanette's torrent of words she was listening to a tremulous inner voice. Ken Glea- son he had been in the Parker group yesterday. If she went with Jeanette some day Ken might come into the shop he would speak to her. Was this to be the way? She tried to tear her distracted thoughts away from him. This was an Important mors. Here, where she now was, there was an assured future. If she went with Jeanette, she would be dependent upon a rich girl's caprice. But the sun had gleamed on his hair yesterday. And that strange moment when his deep gaze had met her own and had been un able to glance away. "Weil!" Jeanette's voice waa half amused, half offended. Ardeth had the impression of being in the grasp of some fate too strong for her. The sense that she was being breathlessly hur ried along to what? "I I all right.

Jeanette rose and crushed the cigarette in an ash tray. "I'll run along and start the wheels turning. I'll see you tomorrow." She departed in a glow of ac tion and importance. Already Jeanette was boasting in her mind to an Imaginary audience. "I hired this girl I had in mind and inside of a week the place was running, my dear! I'm like that when I start anything red hot decisions " Ardeth was swept by doubts and fears. Yet under the thoughts which she tried to make deliber ate and etald, was beating the consciousness of Ken Oleason. Fate . . . rushing her toward him. That night at the dinner table, she announced her decision to an unappreciative audience.

Munkers, Fallon, Nevada, has' sent to the Bits man under date of September 14, the fol lowing letter: - "I am sending you a clipping from the Reno Gazette of Septem ber 12. Such stuff is sure dis gusting. I would like to see you pan hell out of this guy Beard. I am not so old, but you know better than I that the old stock of Oregonians. with the excep tion of the mountain men and Hudson's Bay company's trappers did VERY little intermarrying with the siwashes. I can remem ber a few. and mighty few at that who were 'squaw men, when I was a boy in Linn and Magfcn counties, and, to come down to 1860, why,. the man must be Ig norant. With best regards," etc. S S The article sent by Mr. Munk ers is headed. "Oregon Pioneers Had Indian Wives," and reads: "Intermarriage with Indians was quite commonplace among Ore gon pioneers of the '60s, relates Dan Beard, veteran scout, in Boys' Life. 'They, the Oregon ians,' writes Mr. Beard, 'were simple childish people and had not been in the states, as they termed It, for 20 years. Until they organized a territorial gov ernment in Oregon they had no one but themselves to call upon for help in the Indian wars,' and when asked where they 'found their wives,' they replied with a comprehensive sweep of the hand, 'plenty of them out thar.' They all had squaw wives. These men were not educated In book-lore, but were shrewd men, level head ed and what they lacked in mem orized book-lore they made up in practical original thought, he says." S "r Words would be wasted, friend Munkers, on a person as densely ignorant as "this guy Beard." Or on the editor of the magazine silly enough to publish his stuff, or the exchange editor of " the newspaper green enough to copy it. None of them knows what Ore gon pioneers are, or were. At first, the Oregon Pioneer associa tion organizers had in mind to admit as members only men and women who came before 1850. The date was extended to include those who came up to and includ ing 1852, and since that time has been expanded rather indefinite ly, the Bits man believes, includ ing the sons and daughters of pioneers, under which heading the Bits man is eligible, like Mr. Munkers. S About 10,000 men, women and beneath knit brows. "Be sure you don't come to grief with your high and mighty ideas," she said darkly. "Your fine friend will get tired of her scheme over night, an you'll find yourself -holding the bag, my girl." "Think you're going to bust into society?" inquired Bet sour ly. "I suppose we'll be reading all ahout you running with the Burl ingame crowd now you're so pop ular with the Parkers! Well they aren't marryin shop girls, let me tell you that!" Ardeth's golden eyes blazed under level brows. "You'd tell me anything, Bet providing it was nasty enough!" she said in a low, shaking voice. And the real battle came with Neil. He was waiting In the dark hall when she let herself into the house the next evening. She gave a little startled cry as he stepped out of the shadows and grasped her arms. In the thick light his face was white, and the black eyes burning down into her own were wild. (To be continued.) "Copyright 1930, by King Fea tures Syndicate, Inc."

Then tl c covered wagon hegira started again. The Lewis and Clark and Astor and other parties had lift remnants prior to 1842, and there were the Hudson's Bay com pany men, running back to l S o and before. S S The total in the covered wagon days, ending with the driving of the golden spike linking the Un ion and Central Pacific railroads, at Promontory Point at the north end of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, in 1869. represented fully 350,000 men, women and chil dren, coming to the Pacific side of the Rockies and with 20,000 to 30,000 unmarked graves left on the plains.
