The Fall Flower Show
A REAL treat is in store for flower lovers this week-end
when the Fall Flower Show will be held at the Valley
Motor company building on Center street. The exhibition
held last spring gave a foretaste of what rare beauty may
be enjoyed this fall. We shall mis3 the flower3 of spring,
the roses and the fairie columbines and all. But there will
be the maroons and golden browns of the autumn flowers.
Dahlias and chrysanthemums and zinnias and pom poms
with their rich, deep colors will win many admirers.
Flowers help make life in this coastal country an un
ending delight. There is rarely a farmhouse no matter how
humble, nor. a cottage in the city, but what has flowers
about, offering a wholesome interest for those dwelling
there and a friendly appeal to all who pass by. Rower cul
ture in Oregon has passed the "common garden" . period. It
has been developed through many agencies ' until our flow
ers are pre-eminent for their beauty, their variety, and
their quality. And the names of the varieties are becoming
household words as folk seek to improve the produce of
their gardens.
The commercial side of flower culture may not be over
looked either. Bulb growing is fast becoming an important
specialized industry in many districts of the northwest. The
October issue of "House and Garden" contains the following
in an article by F. F. Rockwell:
"Last spring I traveled to the Pacific coast to see the 3prlng
bulb shows in the Northwest, and to get a first- 'and view of
the rapidly developing bulb industry in this se on. What I
found was a revelation! The whole section from . ancouver, B.
C. to southern t)regon has within a few years become bulb
miuded, with both interest and progress in bulb culture on a
large scale centering aronnd Portland, Tacoma and Seattle.
These people are crowing bales (sixteen carloads were shipped
from one point last fall); they are ?oing to grow a lot more
bulbs; they are going to give us even better bulbs than were
ever received from abroad. That Is not merely my opinion, but
the mature judgment of not a few of the largest; Dutch bulb
growers. Incidentally a number of these men have already in
vested hundreds of thousands of dollars in bulb growing in the
Northwest.'
This flower show is not at all commercial. It is pro
moted by flower lovers for their own satisfaction and to in
terest others in flower culture and in growing finer flow
ers. Do not miss it. Get acquainted with these flowers which
add so greatly to the pleasure we get out of living.
Dr. Schmidt Loses Appeal
BY a three to two vote a committee ef the American
Medical association on technical grounds upheld the ac
tion of the Chicago Medical society in expelling Dr. Louis
E. Schmidt from its membership. Dr. Schmidt was a physi
cian of high professional ability and of excellent personal
character. Dr. Schmidt took an interest in social medicine.
An organization he was identified with subsidized a public
health institute caring especially for social diseases, and
engaged in advertising to reach those who needed such
treatment. Its services were offered at very low cost.
This was an unpardonable sin for the medical Brahmins
of the Chicago Medical society, and they voted to oust from
their professional organization Dr. Schmidt, whose qualifi
cations and professional standing were unassailable save
that he had violated some of the hocus-pocus ethics of the
profession. ;
Some day the people are going to turn over and take a
fall out of this medical trust. Its charge system is particu
larly reprehensible, unfairly graded and often so excessive
as to put proper medical or surgical care beyond the reach
of the people. A working man may be kept poor for years
trying to play some excessive charge for an operation for
his wife; while raising a family has become almost pro
hibitive. The worst of it is that poor doctors charge just
as much for their services as good doctors, and the befud
dled patient doesn't know the difference.
The doctors perform a lot of charity work for which
they receive no compensation; but there would be less of
this If the scale of fees were more moderate, because the
patients would make more of an effort to meet the bills.
For that matter the business man is constantly called on
a l 1 ' J 1 a. 1 w
I or donations, ana proDaoiy gives away more inan tne doc
tor does. Writers on this subject have said that the reform
would have to come from within the profession. That may
be true, but if so it will be a long, long time in arriving.
Turner community club and Bllverton grange art recent re
cruits to the cause of creating the office of county agent for Mar
lon county. The resolutions of these organizations are not inspired
by anything save the. recognition by the farmers that a county agent
would De oi real service to tnem; jusi as tney ooserve in counties
now employing aa agent. Very few counties air permanently
abolished the office once it was created. This la because the county
agent effectively proves his worth to the farmers of the county.
It is getting time for the Marion county court to wake up and give
tome consideration to the requests for a county agent; and not Just
be deaf and dumb because of some negative vote years ago.
Saturdays at least will afford a holiday from politics while the
people turn their attention to the big foobtall games. The Oregon
Washington game Saturday Is now holding public, interest. Sport
writers by the gross will call it a "classic" with the "stands a riot
of eolor".
- W. W. Atterbury. republican national committeeman from
Pennsylvania, resigned because as he said he couldn't support all
on the ticket, meaning Pinchot of course. But Atterbury was hon
est at any rate. He wasn't like the Coos county eleven who voted
to betray the party Into the camp of the Independents.
As The Statesman remarked long ago, the political campaign
is chiefly a Portland affair. The Telegram is busy paddling the
broad buttocks of the Oregonlan and the latter keeps raising welts
on the flanks of the poor Journal. The rest of the state has to suf
fer while Portland feuds absorb all the Interest.
, Since the war the federal government expenditures have been
reduced and tax cuts amounting to billions made by congress. But
local taxing units have taken up the slack. Economy, unlike char
ity, doesn't seem to begin at home.
Colored cigarettes are predicted tor this winter. To match the
eostume, the color scheme or the bathroom fixtures, we suppose.

HEALTH
Today's Talk
By R.SL Copelanj M. D. .
In most of onr large cities and
towns today health officials and
educational authorities are coop
erating la a!
movement tor ,
better health
a a d greater
public safety.
In the past
schools paid
too little at
tention to
teaching the
child how to
liTe. Vast
progress is be
ing made in
these matters.
The- correc
tion of physi
cal defects af
DQCDPELAND
ter careful physical examination
is the right of every child. The
school should keep a careful rec
ord of each child. There is
greater certainty then that the
physical defect will be remedied.
We shall have a better race
when such matters as personal
hygiene and sanitation are made
a part of every child's education.
No boy or girl should go throagb.
life handicapped by physical de
fects and poor health. Many of
these disabilities are curable.
Cleanliness of the body, care
of the eyes, the teeth and all the
organs are absolutely essential
to good health and success In
life. Tonsils, if actually diseased,
and adenoids, if. they are obstruc
tive, should be removed. A child
cannot do justice to himself in
his studies if he has infection
from one or another source.
When your Child, complains of
what you perhaps call "growing
pains" the probability la that one
of these hidden sources of infec
tion is breeding rheumatism. With
rheumatism comes heart weakness
or infection of some kind. There
are thousands of cases of so-called
"rheumatic heart" among chil
dren from these causes. Some
cases of heart disease discovered
in later years can be traced back
to childhood.
A complete physical examina
tion of your child, either by the
family or school physician, will
determine whether the lungs and
heart are in good condition. It
will show, too, whether the child
can exercises vigorously and nor
mally, or whether care must be
taken to save the heart from too
violent activity
Athlete's Heart
Only too often the athletic boy
or girl abuses the heart until the
muscles give way. Then there is
developed the "athlete's heart."
This may bring with it months or
years of trouble from the weaken
ed condition of this organ.
See that your child's new
school shoes are comfortable and
sensible. They should be well-fitting.
The rapidly growing child Is
using up great Quantities of ener
gy in school work and play. On
this account the diet should be
ample and carefully regulated.
Regular habits of eating are im
portant. Every precaution should
be taken to direct the eating so as
to prevent indigestion and at the
same time to Increase proper
nourishment.
For these reasons see that your
school child has a thorough phys
ical examination. At th same
time have one for yourself and all
your family. It is by this preven
tion of sickness and disease that
good health is made sure.

CHAPTER 21
Before Taits-at-t h e-B e a e h
reached the scintillating glory of
becoming San Francisco's most
romantic cafe, it had been a large
private dwelling standing In sol
itary glory on the oity's ocean
shore.
The long hall, now used for
dancing, though ample for a
home, waa entirely Inadequate
tor the pleasure-seekers which
gathered here Saturday nights,
and dances quickly evolved into a
confused and laughing shuffle.
On the nights when she had
come out here with Ken this had
been a piquant feature to madcap
gayety of the evening, fro worm
their way through the merry
crowd, pressed close and laugh
ing. But tonight, as she slipped into
Torn Corbett's arms, the piqu
ancy was lost. Warm air, stirred
lifelessly by the shuffling crowd
. . . breathing of crushed flowers
and stale perfumes . . . faces
swimming by like drowned sha
dows in the half light . . she had
to fight to keep her spirits from
drooping.
Fortunately. Tom was not sub
tle. He missed the strained note
in Ardeth's laughter. He thought
only that he bad the prettiest
girl out here and he told her so.
At the sadden smile she flashed
him. he caught his breath and a
tender warmth crept into his
heart. 1
As they made their slow way
down the hall, passing the open
doorsvof the small private dining
rooms, Ardeth eyed each one be
neath her lashes, hoping and
dreaming to see Ken.
She had already seen Mary
Eastwood and Phyllis Hawkins
dancing by. Now, la a small room
at the further end of the bouse
she saw the rest or Cecile's
party.
Fred Eastwood's broad back,
turned to the door as he best to
speak to his dinner partner a
woman Ardeth did not recognise.
At the end of the table, as coldly
beautiful as a moonbeam la
severely smart white satin dinner
dress, was Ceclle. Beside her.
leaning on one elbow, head bent
so the light gleamed on his hair.
turning it surprisingly blond
above the. black of his tuxedo,
was Ken.
At the sight of him. Ardeth felt
her blood rush back to her heart.
felt her face go white and pinch
ed. Instinctively she . clung to
Tom's stocky figure, for her
knees went weak.
The man's arm tightened auto
matically and his gaie, warm
with pride, rested on her shining
hair.
At that moment Ken raised his
head, met Ardeth's wide stare,
became transfixed.
A breath of time only; then
the measure of the music had
carried her by the open door
away from the blue misery in
Ken's eyes, and Ardeth dropped
her lashes quickly, lest Tom read
the wild grief in her face.
Back at the table she was de
terminedly gay. Her sweet, high
laugh was frequent; she chatted
with a bright vivacity, feeling all
the while as though she were in
some unhappy dream.
It was an open wound in her
mind. She turned on herself with
bitter scorn. Well, was she going
to stretch herself out for a man
to walk on? She seemed to hear
the cackle of Aunt Stel's derisive
laughter. Nell's bitter sneer. Ce
cile's crisp voice, "I hate a door
mat woman!"
She graded herself to anima
tion, trying to forget the sight
of Ken's shining head bent to Ce
cUe. Oh! Withering shame
sweeping through her like a bit
ter wind leaving desolation in its
wake.
Let him have Cecil, if that
was the kind he was! Whose
heart was broken!
She drooped her bright head
close to Tom's shoulder In a
dreamy waltz, but her watchful
eyes were searching, searching.
Over there that cool and
lovely white satin figure and
Ken.
Tom's arm Instinctively tight
ened as the girl in his clasp sag
ged a trifle.
But after that she was hecti
cally gay and Tom was entranced.
When they danced by the dining
room again she felt Ken's eyes
upon her. She knew without
looking directly that he sat in
there alone, save for Mary East
wood. "You're a lovely thing " Tom
was saying softly.
The golden eyes swept up,
startling him by their sudden
beauty.
"Not reaUy!" she mocked.
Tom's heavy face kindled to
adoration.
"Really!"
Ardeth gasped. Ken suddenly
between them. Taking herout of
Tom's arms. Saying between
tight Hps.
"Mary wants to talk to you,
Tom. Go on in there I'll finish
this"
The girl had a startled glimpse
of the other's face, surprised, af
fronted. Ken's face, so raw with
anguish that her heart jumped.
Mary Eastwood's curious eyes
watching ffom the dining room.
Then she was swept into the
crowd by Ken, swung away from
Tom, who still stood Irresolute.
Her heart was "pounding, stif
ling her so that she could not
speak. But the man gave her no
chance to speak. Eyes dark with
anger, nostrils quivering, he
said "Think I can stand that!
You looking at him like
thatr YVm know' Tom's crazy
about yon , , . and you leading
him on"
She gasped. Her eyes as angry
as his own. "You you M she
spluttered. "You teUing pie
what to dol After tonight you
let me go!"
She tried to tear out of his
arms and he pinned her so close
to him that she could not choose
but dance.
"You don't know what you're
talking about!" his roles was
smothered between his teeth.
"You don't know. "I tell you
God what I've been through to
night" "And II" her voice was shrllL
"I waiting poor fool a dctor
mat your doormat I" She tried
to laugh, and it turned into a
dry sob.
His eyes flinched and he shook
her gently. "No! You don't know
i
what you're talking about I've
got to tell you"
She lifted bright, indignant
eyes. "You have nothing to say
to me not anything ever
again"
He was white to the lips. "Per
haps you're rl?ht perhaps it's
best. But you must know"
The music stopped and she
tore herself out of his-' arms.
Walked back to the table, thread
ing her way through the crowd
so that he could not reach her to
speak.
He followed, stood for a mo
ment as she took her chair.
"Ardeth" ho stopped, whit
misery turning his face to a
mask. She would not lift her
head. Ha made a queer futile ges
ture with his hands. Suddenly
walked away.
Ardeth saw, through eyes
blurred with angry tears, that
Tom had seated himself in the
chair oposlte. Tom's broad face
was very grave. He studied her
downcast eyes for a moment then
nodded slowly.
"So, that's It . . he said soft
ly. "Ken Isn't it, Ardeth?"
It did not seem strange that
it should be Tom Corbett sitting
there talking so quietly and so
Intimately with her.

the Quarterly of the Oregon His

1812, Wallace and Halaey and
their party returned from the
Willamette bringing with them
the FIRST results of the Astoria
venture. 17 packs of furs and 22
bales of dried venison. (This
makes a fourth first thing for

"On th 7th of October. 1813.
the Astorians were greatly sur
prised at the return of Donald Me
Kenzie, from up the Columbia,
escorting two canoes bearing the
British flag, and carrying Mr. J.
G. McTavish and Angus Methune
of the Northwest company." These
gentlemen were in small canoes
and formed the vanguard to a

His cousin, Wallace Henry, was

the Willamette on this date.
(That is. the post on Wallace
prairie.) Up to this time we have
had no inkling of the location of
this Willamette post, with the
statement of Franchese that It
was about 150 miles above the
mouth of the Willamette. There
cannot be the slightest doubt that
he meant 'Columbia' instead of
'Willamette,' as we shall show la
ter from the account which Henry
gives of his trip up the river ou
a visit to this post. (William Hen

the Younger, was a Canadian.
The last note of him in Alexan

"On January 22. 1814, Alexan
der Henry set out for the Willam

very good description of its loca
tion and of his trip. It may pos
sibly, be best to let him tell his
own story:
"a
"'On January 22. 1814. I sot
out with Wm. Matthews and eight
men. Started up the Wil
lamette. At 4 o'clock ran our
canoe on a rock and tore a piece
out of her bottom: The
channel then contracted, being
bound iu by high rocks, and we
had trouble in ascending soma
rapids. (The Clackamas rapids )
It was dark before we saw the
village on the south (Indian vil
lage), near a small but rapid riv
er on our left, called the Clucke
mus (Clackamas.) Shortly after
passing this river we came
abreast of this village, In hearing
of the falls (Oregon City falls i,
and saw six lights, which we sup
posed issued from the same num
ber of doors, the houses running
apparently with the river. These
Indians called the Clowewaillaa
are numerous. We put ashore on
a steep, slippery bank of grass,
where we could find no wood fit
to make a fire, all of it be!ng wet
and green. Mr. Matthews"cro.sed
over to purchase dogs (for their
supper, of course.) Sunday,
Jan. 23, 1814. At dawn we went
up to the falls, did not set o,;t
till 7 a.m., unloaded on the right
hand side and carried 600 paces
over a rugged portage, hemmed
in by a range of steep rocks,
close to the river as in soma
places scarcely to leave a passage,
especially near the upper end
where the men found It difficult
to get the canoe through.
A little above the portage, on th
spot where formerly a villae
stood, remains of the dead ara

a high range of perpendicular
rocks, over which now rushes a
considerable fall of water aftr

comes in. (Tualatin river.) About
