BUT SCOUTS DUE ' FOR PROMOTIONS Tne first thine that we dis-1 covered was that In the first re port of the Northwestern Elec tric company back In 1914 it carries as an "asset" Water Rights at a valuation in excess of $10,000,000. In 1914 it was $10,309,728.87. We further found that this write-'up of fic titious Water Right values was done by Herbert Fleishacker, who as president of the company was the responsible executive for any such watering of its assets and issuance of watered stock $10,000,000 worth. It Is the same Herbert Fleish acker of San Francisco who is chief owner of the Portland Tel egram, now leader of the muck raking campaign against the wicked utility magnates. Fleish acker sold out the Northwestern Electric company to the Ameri can Power and Light company several years ago; so whatever loot or swag there was in this inflation of assets was obtained by Fleishacker with or without his associates.

(AP) An explosion on Cap tain Anton Helnen'a baby Zeppe lin "Air Yacht" today hurled three men 40 feet to the ground and wrecked .the dirigible's en gine and gondola.

Captain Heinen deflated It for transportation to the Heinen Air Yacht corporation's hangar at Cape May. Officials of the company said repairs would be completed soon. Captain Heinen refused any comment on the explosion. He received wide recognition as an expert pilot when he guided the dirigible Los Angeles across the ocean from Germany for deliv ery to the United States navy and later when he brought the Shenandoah back to her moor ing mast at Lakehurst after a storm tore her from her moor ings. TO BE DEBUTE TOPIC Assurance that the question cho sen for debate in Oregon high schools "Resolved, that chain stores are detrimental to the best interests of 'the general public," will not be scrapped by the state debating league, has been receiv ed by the Independent Retailers' assocation of Salem, it was report ed at the association's meeting on Tuesday night.

Mr. Howard conferred with Percy M. Collier, state director of the debating league, and learned that though some objection had been made to the question, for fear It would arouse animosities, the objection was not widespread and ' it had been decided to hold to the original plan. In some com munities where objection was raised, the high schools will not participate in the program, It was stated. The Independent dealers held that the question was vital and should be discussed.

CAUSES INJURIES IIIN EARLY WINTER BEATS RETREAT FROM MIDWEST Relief in Sight From Snow and Cold but Traces Linger in South Pacific Slope is Warmer; More Good Than Harm Done, is Belief KANSAS CITY, Oct. 21. (AP) Old man winter's premature rendition of button up your over-; coat" was due to end tonight in ! the middle west, its echoes ling ering in Oklahoma and Texas and in states east of the Mississippi. With the dusting of snow re moved by rising temperatures and sunshine, artist Jack Frost was ready to take by stage and com plete the transformation of wood ed hillsides to crimson and gold, ready for the frolic of a promised Indian summer. Relief for the blizzard-swept and shivering eastern states was thus promised from the land in which much of the eastern weath er is brewed. The Pacific slope was moderate ly warm today and the country east of the Rockies experienced Intermittent sunshine and clouds with no further storm threat. Col orado had cool, fair v eather, Wyo ming rising temperatures and ling ering snow flurries and Montana was warmer with more warmth predicted. Moisture Comes As aid to Farms In place of temperatures which ran from a new seasonal low of two degrees at Max, North Dako ta, to a high of 55 as far south as Oklahoma City, the wheat and corn states west of the Mississip pi were promised a milder night tonight and maximum tempera tures -vhich might reach into the sixties. That was the interpreta tion put upon the laconic "slight ly warmer" forecast for the Da kotas. Nebraska, Kansas. Oklaho ma, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota by the weather observers. Freezing temperatures were to continue tonight, however, in Kan sas and Missouri. The freeze which gripped the middle west over the weekend and yesterday did more good than damage in most agricultural states, in the opinion of S. D. Flo ra, meteorologist, Topeka, Kas. He said it tended to conserve moisture already in the ground, while the snow and sleet augmented it. But In the Red River valley of North Dakota 1500 carloads of po tatoes were reported frozen, the loss to growers estimated at $500, 000. E 15 MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 21. (AP) A pioneer in surgery, an old man who performed the first oper ation in America for removal of a gall bladder, was prestented late today to delegates attending the international assembly of the post graduate medical association of North America, and was given an enthusiastic ovation.

Haggard. Nash ville, president of the association, who Introduced Dr. Ohage, now 87 years old and retired from prac tice, said that the latter through modestv had refrained from mak ing known his accomplishment and that recently througn acciaeni ine fact was discovered and added to important known incidents in the history of American memcine. Auto Dives Into Glass Store Front When Mrs. Britt Asplnwall of Brooks "stepped on the gas" late Tuesday afternoon she kept right on going and Into a 6x18 foot plate glass window at the Mac Marr store on the corner of State and Commercial streets. Evidently she became confused as her Model A Ford car sur mounted the curb and started for the show window for the speed of the car was not diminished un til the car went square into the plate glass. The entire window, valued at more than $100 and in three sections, was destroyed. Mrs. Aspinwall was uninjured. She carried liability insurance on the car. According to Manager Arthur O. Upson of the store, this is the fourth time a motorist has driven his car Into the front of the store during the time he has been man ager here.

E House Turned Topsy-Turvy But Nothing is Taken; Is Amateur's Job Burglars, gaining entrance through a first floor bedroom window by cutting a screen, thor oughly ransacked the home of El mer Hodges at 1493 Center street last night sometime between sun down and 10 o'clock. But as far as it could be determined they did not carry off anything for their labors. Hodges, who is superintendent of the Woodburn cannery, return ed home from work about 10 o'clock to find a light burning in the kitchen, the blinds pulled down, and the back door open. At almost the same time, Mrs. Hodges, accompanied by Mrs. Frank G. Myers, returned. The three entered the house and im mediately called the police. They feared the burglar or burglars might yet be upstairs. First floor and second, contents of every drawer, every cupboard and other containers, even to cov ered chinaware, had been emptied upon the floors in pell-mell fash ion. Beds were literally torn up. Mattresses were slit open, one of Mr. Hodges suits ripped. The drawers were left in heaps where they had been emptied. The house looked as though a cyclone had struck It. Search for Money Goes Unrewarded Motive for the acts must have been confined to a search for money, for no silverware, cloth ing or objects of minor value were taken, as far as U could be ascertained. Police made investi gation of the premises but found no clues other than fingerprints. At least, they divulged none. Mrs. Hodges had been away from home since 4:30 in the af ternoon and her husband had been at work at the cannery. The fact that the marauders had turned on lights led to the conclu sion that they had done their work between about 7:30 and 10, that is, after dark. Apparent carelessness of the burglars made it fairly certain that they were amateurs. They worked with the lights turned on and seemingly paid little atten tion to avoiding leaving of finger prints. The two women were naturally quite frightened. They were very glad that Mr. Hodges happened to pick out last night to come home (Turn to page 2, col. 4) ECLIPSE IS VIEWED NIUAFOU ISLAND, Oct. 22 (Wednesday) (AP) Weeks of patient waiting and construction by American astronomers of this tiny island in the South Pacific were rewarded today when 41 photographs of a total eclipse of the sun were taken successfully.

Coxey, Massil lon, Ohio, who led an army of unemployed to Washington In 1894, and thereby gained his military title, came to Washington today alone and tomorrow will lay before Secretary Lamont of the commerce department his "so lution" of the unemployment prob lem.

Recall Effort At Sioux Falls Proves Failure SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 2 (AP) An attempt to ree-u Mayor George W. Burnside a4 Alex Reid, street commissioner, failed in a special election today. Burnside, mayor for 22 year, defeated A. N. Graff. 5.24 8 to 5.026 votes, while Reid easi'y was elected over Ellis O. Smith. Charges of inefficiency, lmproi er government and political fav oritism against Mayor Bnrnti' and Reid brought about the ra call election. From data now in the bands of the federal government, largely compiled by the census and labor branches, the number of unem ployed workers was placed at 3 500,000 and it was pointed tst 1,000,000 persons are always unemployed. The census inquiry was consid ered as demonstrating that th was on the average In each famiij one and three quarters persores regularly employed and that the present situation there act lesser number of families coa pletely devoid of bread wiun- than has usually been so regard ed. There were the usual reports the effect that the next step is the federal employment progra would be directed toward stimis latlng public work expenditure. It was considered certain a tMr thering would be summoned roa, either by the president, or bf Colonel Woods to assemble advise ors of responsibility and kn. edge whose opinion will guide it main direction of action.
