Quarreling
ONLY one thing can equal the Rogue river j fishing as a
fertile cause for controversy and that is rights to irri
Ration water. Over in Washington state the director of agri
'culture ia making bad faces at the. federal commissioner of
the reclamation bureau, -Ehvood Mead because the latter In
sists on. unconditional power rights in connection with fur
ther Improvements; in the Yakima project. The Washington
' official is all burned up too because as he claims the money
; to be spent on the Cle Elum project McNary and Borah got
t away from them and spent on Owyhee km in Oregon and
Deadwood dam in Idaho. ! ?
We don't know anything about the merits of the dis
pute between Washington and the federal bureau. The Yak
ima Republic thinks its state director is talking out of turn
and should get out of the way and let the government spend
aome more money tn the valley so the farmers can get real
water. We do know that Yakima is one project which has
succeeded. The government hasn't had to wash out the debts
of the settlers and furnish them the water for virtually noth
ing. The irrigationists. there have succeeded, have paid the
government, and have built up one of the" most prosperous
.sections of the northwest. j
More water to them, with or without power.
Day of Profits Past?
A government report has .been issued which accurately de
scribes the pains and pangs of the present distressful
situation. It reads as follows: . -'''.:
"The nations of the world have overstocked themselves
with machinery and manufacturing plants far la excess of to
' wants of production. -
"On all sides on eees tie accomplished, results of the la
bor of half a eeatury. What Is strictly necessary- has been done
: oftentiroos.to superfluity. i ' .
; ' "This full supply of economic tools to meet the wants of
nearly aH branches of comnure and Industry Is the most lm-
portent factor In the present Industrial depression. .
"It is true that -discovery of new proeeaaea of manufacture)
will undoubtedly continue and this will ait a an ameliorating
: Influence, but It will not leave room for marked extension such
..as has been witnessed during the last titty years, or afford em
ployment to the rest amount of capital which has. been created
during tbat period the day of large profits te probably past.".
Now, friends, this report of the U. S. commissioner of
labor was for the year 1886. Forty-five years ago there was
excess plant capacity, and the commissioner dolefully de
clared that the date of large profits was probably past. It ia
altogether reasonable to expect that the next forty-five years
will see as astounding business expansion as the last 45V

Aspirin
By C..C DAUER, If. D ,
. Marioa Oo. Dept. of Health
The former high prloe of Quin
ine caused chemists cult a nam
ber of years ago to look about tor
cheaper f f I
elent . sufestl-
tatea. It was
also attempted
to mak uin
in from chemi-
eala. This was
unsueoessf u 1.
but It did bring
to tight a very
large number
o f substances,
in 'some ' re
spect . e t e n
sor raleabl
than : qulainSA.
Thee 1 subs tan
tea, derrraliTfrs
xr. a o. Pa t what we call
coal-tar', are many and th more
important of which are: "phenol
(carbolic acid), aaUla dyes, acet-
anllld. creaoU lysol. aaccharin.
bensole acid, picric acid and aa-
P'rin. . . " .
Aspirin Is a trade name for th
frtnemlcal compound acetylsalicylie
acid. It is one of a number of sim
ilar compounds which : are used
primarily to .lower body temper
ature in ferers aad to ' relier
pain. Aspirin was introduced be
cause it was thought that it would
giro rise to leas disturbance tn th
stomach as th other members of
th salicylate family were apt to
do. This did not prore to J true,
howerer,. but lta use has contin
ued. -
Not Harmful To Heart , '
Aspirin Is used most commonly
and moat extenslrely la treatment
oi coios. immense and other lay
ers. Like some of th other sali
cylates, aspirin has almost a spe
cific action on th rise In temper
ature resulting from acute rheu
matic ferer. The drug is also ex
tenslrely . used -In neuralgias.
headaches, and other pains. -
There is no reason for th be
lief that aspirin has a deleterious
action on the heart. Such a be
lief has no doubt arisen because
people hay mistaken th result
ing disturbance of th stomach
from taking too much aspirin for
what they are supposed to be a
bad effect on the heart.
Occasional single doses per
haps are not harmful, but when
it is necessary to fake aasplrin re
peatedly it should only be on a
physician's order. Self medication
as a rule la not best nor Is iC al
ways safe.
Sereral years ago before th
patient or trade mark was void,
aspirin was-aold under a certain
name. The manufacturer claimed
his product was superior to all
others. This was not true yet the
statement waa enough, duo to fact
that he had the asm trad mark
ed, to get exorbitant prices for his
product.

In the 8alm directory for IS 7 2.
under th heading, "Deaf and

article from which th following-
words are excerpted:
"During th session of th
stat legislature-of 1870. Mr.

New Tork college, proposed-that
if they, would appropriate 1 2 lot

and House, and he knew inti
mately "Dummy" W. 8. Smith,
th first principal. Th wTlter
bell eyes Smith was a printer, and
afterwards worked In Salem and
Portland newspaper offices. For
many years th Island Hons was
a famous and at first th town's
principal hotel. In its last and de
generate days It was a saloon and
brothel of the lowest type. It fin
ally. In th nineties or early years
of th present century, was de
stroyed by fire. (Relics of its
foundation ar still there.).
. Ther were IS "scholars, four
males and eight female," in th
"deaf and dumb school" la 1872.
In 151. th Christian" church and
th Masonic fraternity construct
ed a . building at the northeast
corner of Church and Chemeketa
streets. About th tlm it was
fairly enclosed, a -strong wind
blew it down, with a damage: of
about $1000. It was speedily re
cant, ana occupies: by tn a li
ferent Masonic societies, and for
church purposes, for several
years. Th Academy of th Sacred
Heart afterwards occupied . that
building as Its first homo. Later
It was th second horn of th
"deaf and . dumb school,'' when
Rev. P. 8. Knight was superin
tendent. H waa long pastor ot
th First Congregational church
of Salem and at on tlm editor
of Th Statesman.
A V V
Later, Dr. J. A. Richardson,
one mayor of ; Salem, built his
home, there, corner ot Church and
Chemeketa streets. In th back
Srd ot that horn was started
e loganberry industry of Ore
gon; Dr. - Rleahrdson baring
brought the first plants from
California. He planted in front,
on the Chemeketa street side, the
only cedar of Lebanon la Salem,
outsid of Willson avenue -now
a large and splendid reminder of
the tree growth that furnished
th timbers for Solomon's Temple
in Jerusalem.' Dr. Richardson
sold th horn of Dr. B. L Steeres
of Salem, later mayor of the
city and it Is now th Kappa Gam
ma Rho fraternity house. . Dr.
Steeres was also lieutenant gov
ernor of Idaho.
R. P. Bole of Salem remem
bers that Rev. Knight had a hand
In th suiting ot th "deaf and
dumb school." and that he was
its guiding genius through all its
early years, . even naming- -Its
board of trustees, of whom Wer
ner Breyman was on. In' the :
early eighties, the, Drea-on stat
school for th : deaf beeam a
purely commonwealth institution,
and Rer. Knight waa continued
as its superintendent for a long
time, with . Its location wher the
present state school for th blind
is located. That was Its third
home, . . . . .
Its fourth, homo, after the mid
dle nineties, was wher th Ore
gon stat- tuberculosis hospital 1
now Is. It' was 0 thought best to
mak lta permanent location far
enough away to-are!d the distrac
tions of city life, aad near enough
to hay tta eonrentences. It was
found that is following this Idea-
the ' thing was slightly overdone.

in th rear seat, he saw a woman
and a child, Th mother, I recog
nized at Feus Morgan, and the
little girl was Doris Morgan, the
child - companion of Doctor Mas
keil. his living alibi. She was
quit pretty. Later I learned that
ah was ten years old. Her golden
hair and large- blue eye and col
orful dress and hat . gave her a
rather spoiled and stager air-
one would expect her to grow up
into a cinema star, if cinema
atar ever do grow up. But what
interested me most was th low
and tenderness In-Doctor Mas-
keU's eyes when he looked at lit

quite unmanned him. He caught
her to him as. she rose with a
squeal of Joy at slrht of him. and

"Good " mornings . and - good

bent orer the wheel ot the car.
and he pushed the horn button in
the middle ot the wheel with his
long, peaked nose, so that tho car
cried out as if in. fright at his be
havior.
Doris - laughed. .
"Isn't Checkles too funny for
words?" she asked, with a grown
up glance at Thatcher Colt. "He
always blows th horn with his

The commissioner nodded, as
he -drew a slip of paper from his

and addressee of the patients of
Doctor Maskeil to whom, so the

gave Cheekle his orders and Im
