The Bend Bulletin remarks that "Dr. Vande vert is an enthusiastic sportsman . . . the ideal person for the position." It further remarks: "With the commission newly constituted of such an admirable group we r may expect to see a fine administration of game affairs. The Baker Democrat-Herald describes the Baker appointee, Carl Sflven, as Man aggressive alert, public-spirited citizen who should represent this section with distinction. Moreover he was clearly entitled to recognition from the administration for his valuable services during the cam paign.! . ' . , I For the men who are displaced however the home-town papers are a bit mournful. The Eugene Register-Guard takes note that David Evans was the last Lane county hold er of a state; office. The Klamath Falls Herald, original Meier booster, weeps copious tears over the dropping of Harry Poole, saying: "Without exception officers of the Klamath county sportsmen's association and the Izaak Wal ton league charge the governor with a rash and unwarranted act. ' ' ' - i ' " ' Base ingratitude is further alleged, because of the five displaced men "Harry Poole was the only one who was out spoken and active .in behalf of the Meier campaign for gov ernor. . - , : . ' The Herald is wrong when it says of the wholesale dis missals: "Not one man familiar- with the functions of the department is left as a nucleus of a new commission. Cor rigan served for several years as a member of the commis sion. While he was a minority member, not being in accord with the Clifford regime, he knows the work of the .com mission. In fact, eliminating the florid oratory of Dana and Vining, Corrigan will probably be the effective head of the commission. l he is, the body will not go far wrong. , , Chicago Not Reformed THE universal rejoicing over the defeat of William Hale Thompson as mayor of Chicago needs to be considerably tempered. - His successor, Anton J. Cermak, is no lily white reformer, but an astute politician who has run Cook county politics while Big Bill ran city affairs. Cermak first gained his fame in Chicago as head of the United Societies. This was an organization of the foreign element which fought consistently against all forms of prohibition, local option, closing lawsretc. Cermak was head arid front of this move ment, v, i The broom which Cermak alleges he, will wield will be merely to replace the Thompson grafters with the Cermak satellites. Cermak had the support of decent people be cause they thought he might at least break up some of the Al Capone racket. It remains, to be seen whether he will do this, or make truce with the beer barons and racketeers and let them continue to rule Chicago. Thompson's defeat by no means spells Chicago's refor mation. Booze will still be abundant as Cermak's bottle-opener emplem symbolized.' Cermak trained with Roger Sullivan and George Brennan, politicians as wicked as Croker and Charlie Murphy. He may give uplift a little boost in Chi cago; or he may tammanyize the city, leaving it permanent ly in the grip of the professional politicians. ,'- Cermak is slightly preferable to Thompson, but a few years hence he may be in similar disrepute from the all-too-impotent decent element of the city. The cause of good municipal government -gains a little comfort but not much, from. Thompson's defeat. ' Just a Paragraph AN OBSCURE paragraph in the news of yesterday was a report from Seattle to the effect that the president of the Puget Sound Power and Light company announced the resignation of Norwood W. Brockett,"who for28 years had been director of the department of public relations. The department is to be abolished. This is the first bit of light that we have seen breaking among utility companies. They have been the biggest dupes imaginable in their efforts to win favor to themselves. The title "department of public relations' has all too often cov ered a multitude of sins as well as duties. It was the "fixer division for the utility. It handled the lobbying, the publi city, the "expense accounts, the liquid refreshments, the good-fellow stuff; - - . - j -i The utility companies would have been far better off to have stopped the waste of money through these depart ments and dealt directly with the public.

Xeb., AprU t (API Th l jrcnrv rllmM : I By DR. VERNON DOUGLAS ; County Health Officer Vincent's angina is a disease of the mouth which la common ly known as trench mouth due to its greatly in creased; ; inci dence under military condi tions. It Is very commonly found, howev er In civil lite at all seasons of the year. The germ which Is cork i rw shaped i often found la nor mal mdutha es pecially where oral hygiene is ur. c c ir not good. When conditions for its Increased growth, are right, such as, fatigue. chilling, exposure, Insufficient and improper food an dexcesaive use of alcohol and tobacco, symptoms of the disease may develop. Ba bies may - develop tne condition due to imperfectly sterilized utensils and in fact it is generally spread through dirty dishes, glass es or drinking- fountains. : The essential pathology ot trench mouth is an ulcerated con dition of. the gums and throat, often resembling diphtheria. - As a general rule this is not serious unless the ulceration becomes very extensive.- It is Important in all ulcerative ooaditiona of the mouth to make sure that diphthe ria or some other more , serious condition Is not present. There fore, a culture or smears taken by a physician fa necessary and some times a blood test. Marlon county provides laboratory service for the purpose of diagnosing such con ditions. ... The sreventlon of trench mouth consists in sterUlalnr dlshee and eating utensils, keeping: up bodily resistance through rest and pro per diet and correcting any den tal defects or poor oral-hygiene. All family physicians, are ac quainted with the curative treat ment which fortunately is In most cases very effective. . This con sists of local applications and at times intravenous medication.

'I prom ised to bring Dave, some flash lights.' Have you any. Miss- Mar-bury?- Joan and Sally had settled back in their chair aad were watching Barbara, who . had just screwed another cigarette Into her long red holder and was smoking with quick,' nervous puffs. : "This is certainly a wow, this party you've brought me to," said Barbara bitterly. "And to think that we missed a costume ball at the Vlnoy Park!" I "Don't forget you Invited your self along, Babs," retorted Tal bot, heatedly. "Gerry and. I were all for dashing over here and bringing Dave back with us. But no you got all warm and uncom fortable about something and had to come, too. Well, you're here, my spoiled sweetheart, so be a good sport about it." Truth Hurts ' "This Is one of your horrid nights, Talbot," she snapped. She turned to the Marbury girls with a shrug. "His manners are beastly, aren't they?" Honest criticism Is never pleasant to hear," retorted Sally, her black eyes glinting. Barbara a insolent stare encom passed the younger girl, examin ing her simple wash dress, her carefully-mended sUken hose, her somewhat shabby slippers. Sally, a vivid spot of color on each tan ned cheek, matched ber, stare for stare. "Miss Marbury." said Talbot, hastily, "hare you any flashlights you couli. lend us?" Joan rose and left the room. Barbara tossed her cigarette end into a flower pot. ! "I suppose I'll ruin this frock," she sighed, "but I'm tired of it, anyway. 111 say you'll ruin It," agreed Talbot, vindictively. "And you'll need new shoes, too. If you're going, you'll have to ankle every step of the way!" He whirled and retreated pre- cipltantly, slamming the door be hind him. Joan returned with the flashlights just In time to bear hist heavy footsteps clattering across the porch. ; Hannah's portly figure .was framed in the dining-room door. "Miss Joan, Is y'awl gwiae out?" she asked anxiously. , Joan glanced uncertainly to ward Barbara, whose hand was already upon the door knob. Sally, too, had risen and was fol lowing Barbara. r "Yes, Hannah she said. "WeH be back in an hour or sO." Hannah untied her voluminous white apron and began to fold Itt Her eyes rolled whltely atvd her huge mouth was set in a straight red line of determination. , ' - "Miss Joan," she declared pos itively, ' "I enta gwlne res In dls house one little minute alone. Lawd, not. Dey's too much ruck us gwine 'on dis night.' I'se gwlne rlghty along wf you, I is." Left Behind ' "Let her come, Joan, laughed Sally. "We can leave her In the car while we go after the boys." Barbara opened the door and peered : out into the night. The sound of a whining motor came into the room. . "Talbot has taken the car." she said.-1-'. .--. fit doesnt matter, said Joan. "I know where they-are. We can take our Fotd." - "That will be most amusing I'm sure," purred Barbara. : i e- ; Talbot, unconsciously crooning a melancholy version ot Gerry's favorite blues, was brought to a startled halt by a sibilant whis per from - the adjacent under brush: ": -Shut up!" hissed Dave. "Are you practicing - for. a hog-calling contest? Between you and Gerry, an x need is a college cheer -lead r to keep the noises organized." TDon't you pod out at me like that!" gasped Talbot. "For two is? : rrr zt i Don't forget you invited yourself along, Babs," retorted Talbot, heatedly. I'm that nervous." "One more yip out of you and 111 tie you and Gerry together, gag you both and turn you loose In. the scrub," retorted . Dave, emerging-from the thicket which surrounded the nearest of the abandoned houses. "Where's my car?" demanded Gerry, thickly, appearing from behind Dave. "Well, well, well!" commented Talbot, admiringly. "Still schmoz aled, what?" Gerry, wearing gently, bestow ed an unfavorable glance upon his friend. "Where's taf Car?" he repeat ed. "Dave won't let- me go find Mueller. I'm going home." "Your car is in the road back there, with its bow turned back toward Joan's. But don't worry about not finding Mueller. This is a Bight when my perceptions are sharp. Something tells me that well have an eyeful of Muel ler before the sun rises." "Are the girls all right?" in terrupted Dare Impatiently, "Well, they didn't seem very chatty with each other, returned Talbot evasively. ''They've been sitting around hating each other all evening. I sort of gathered the Idea that they were a little bored or something." "You get behind Gerry and See that he doesn't stray away," di rected Dave. "We ought to hang a cowbell around his neck. Come on, let's go." "Go where?" demanded Gerry, truculently. "No sense in wasting good liquor like this. I've got a fight in me. Ought - to ' use It. Don't like the way Mueller parts his hair, or the color of his neck tie, or the perfumes - he's dous ed with. Want to tell him so. Tired of walking. Never did like to walk."

We all catch colds and they can make 113 miserable: but yours needn't last long if you will do this: Take two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as possible after a cold starts. Stay in the house if you can keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those symptoms of cold persist. Take a good laxative when you retire, and keep bowels opcn.v . If throat is sore, dissolve three .tablets in a quarter-glassful of water and gargle. This v soothes inflammation and reduces infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for a cold, or sore throat. And it relieves aches and pains almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer, are absolutely narmless to the heart. -r AiiyrEna . as. ip n m n kj BITS for BREAKFAST Marking founders graves: (Continuing from, yesterday:) The first year in Oregon, Reuben Lewis resided at The Falls and worked la the saw mill, of Dr. McLoughlia there. After the .ar rival ot the Applegate train, la 1 8437 Lewis worked as a Carpen ter, for that embryo town then en joyed its first balding boom; . Only two or three houses were there when he arrived, and by the end ot the next year it contained oteT 30 buildings. Old Champoeg was the metropolis ot the little colony before that. : In the first, years of their set tlement, the Lewis people had to make buckskin clothing serve al most exclusively- for .women as well as men. Since' they were as well oft as their neighbors, they were contented and happy. - Reuben Lewis was engaged, with the other early settlers, in the Indian troubles ot those days. He was In the skirmish called the battle of Battle creek, and also he participated in the "battle of the Abiqua," In which some It In dians were killed, with no loss ot life to the whites. " - Mr. Lewis was present at the Champoeg meeting ot - May 2, 1843, and voted for the provision al government. He remained . at the meeting held on the spot for the choosing of officers, and was elected one of the four constables; the others being O. W. Ebberts, J. C. Bridges and F. X. Matthieu. He Joined the gold rush to the California mines in 1848; mined on the Feather river, where the yellow metal was in such plenti ful supply that In an afternoon, with his pocket knife, he took out 1 100 worth from one crevice. He started home by sea, expecting to return to Calif or n!a-with his fam ily, but the sail boat he took pas sage on. was the Brother Jonathan, which was 15 . days reaching the mouth of the Columbia, and he was so dreadfully sick that he de cided to remain in Oregon. He made a sea voyage after this, in 18 St, going by way ot the isthmus of Panama and on to New York and back to Wisconsin, to get his mother, whom he had left behind in 1848. He returned with her by the same route. A few years after this the young wife, the bride of 1844. died, and the young grandmother proved a won derful help in the family left motherless. . V-V . ' Reuben Lewis was a good and thrift farmer and a capital trad er, but he was liberal and always willing to share with those ot les ser means. Near his donation claim was a place where many im migrants camped while ' looking around tor location. "Whenerer a company fresh from off the plains came to that camp it was the habit By It. J, HENDRICKS' Talbot, sadly. "It certainly sets Gerry to talking, if u snouia set 1 him to thinking, too, no telling what might happen. Go on. now. Gerry, old soak, and follow Dave before he leaves us flat." , Dave was already pushing through the underbrush, leading the way toward the black bulk which loomed over the tope of the scrub pines and young cab bage palm. Bottles Everywhere "The second house was jammed to the ridgepole with liquor, Tal bot," he whispered. "Now we're going to have a look at the house near the county road. There's been a whale ot an up roar from over by the landing field. Guess the guard got loose and set them all to rushing about looking for us. They're likely to come over this way at any mo ment, now." They crossed the wide flagstone porch of the abandoned house. Palmetto scrub was pushing Its way up between the flags, bend ing them in its remorseless, pa tient strength. The front door, a massive slab of pecked cypress, swung listlessly on creaking hin ges of Hammered Iron. Within was a vast, echoing expanse of black hallway, at the other end of which was a patch of dim light, the door to the patio In the rear. Dave groped his .way along the ball, glancing Into the huge, high-ceillnged rooms mhi c b stretched off to either side.

"j.jVVV : Ml, j The marriage of Reuben Lew is and Polly Frazer was among the ' first celebrated . by a white man and woman in the Oregon country, outside of missionary circles. One writer thinks it was the second, and that the one of Allen J. Davie and Cynthia Brown, the "belle ot Oregon," was the first. Another; writer says a sis ter of Cynthia, who married Hen ry Foster of the '48 immigration, was the first white woman among the settlers to wed a white man. So there were at least three of the tine Brown girls. Instead of two. which a slip in the use of words In this column of yester day may have led the reader to infer. . ":;-: V ',. .;' Nine children were born to Reuben Lewis and wife. Four are still living. They are Newton, who makes his home with his daughter at Mill City, Oregon; Frank, who resides near Walla Walla, Washington; Mrs. James Chambers, of Turner, Oregon, and Abner, mentioned above. Ab ner was the second child, the date of his birth December 10, 1848. So he will pass the 85th mile stone ot. his earthly pilgrimage December 10th, next. On the 12th of the same month his good wife and himself will celebrate their 62nd -wedding anniversary. She was Margaret Baker, daugh ter of Harrison Baker and wife, who came with the 1881 immi gration from Iowa and setUed a short . distance above Turner, Marlon county. - - Abner Lewis sull owns part of the donation land claim of his father. His own claim. In the same section, has had but three owners, from the patent by Un cle Sam. Abner served his school and road districts for many years as director and clerk, and super visor. He was a worthy member from Marion county of the state legislature in the regular and special sessions ot 1888. He Is one of the oldest living men born in Marion county, and still residing here. It not the old est. His memory, runs back al most to the beginnings of Salem. The Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution, as was said In. this column In yesterday's issue, are planning to mark the graves of nine other men in the Salem area where lie the bodies of that number ot the Americans who voted in the affirmative at old Champoeg on the question of es tablishing the provisional gov ernment. -b One of these holds the sacred dust of Allen Jr Davie. Note the spelling. It Illustrates the diffi culty of arriving at accuracy in such matters. The name is spell ed by the various Oregon histor ies in three ways, Davie. Davy and Davey; most frequently the last form being used. And the original survey records of the government make it Allen J. Da vis. But, in signing deeds, he him self spelled it Allen J. Davie, and in making his will he called himself Allen Jones Davie and an affidavit had to be secured by his executor to show Allen J. Da vie and Allen Jones Davie were the same person. Some writers spell Allen, Allan. la His donation claim container 648 acres, in sections 82 and 38, T. I S., R, 1 W. and sections 4 and 6, T. 8 8., R. 1 W. It was about a mile east of the present Aumsvllle. The land now has a number of owners. The notifica tion was No. 53, and the claim numbers 46 and 66, and the pat ent was dated October 24. 1865; recorded October 28, 18 88. The notification. No. 53, shows that the Da vies were early applicants for donation rights. The patent was to Allen J. and Cynthia Da vie. An interesting side light In the fact that, in making deeds, Mrs. Davie signed with a mark, show ing she could not write, and the person writing her name did not know how to spell It. He wrote "Clnthla." But old pioneers re member that Cynthia Brown-Davie, the one time "belle of Ore gon," was a good and true worn (Continued on page C) Dial - - U .e at ste ad-aww-Knd-howV
