"J , , mandt that it enforce rate reduction which it felt it could hot sustain in court, and faced also with the maneuvers of Carey and Harlan for a fresh bill of sale on a portion of the city's income for "experts services". So it was a brilliant idea to wrap the "utility bomb' in "a neat package and ad dress it to Charles M. Thomas, public service commissioner, Salem. But as Mr. Thomas had in a way already asked for " it, no sudden detonation is expected when the package ar rives. . ' ... The action of the Portland city council impresses us as exhibiting a rare streak of wisdom. Pending determination of a franchise it would enable the company to operate under a revocable permit, witti a gross earnings tax of 2y2. In fact there is some agitation now against all long-term fran chises and in favor of indefinite permits. The St. Louis Post Dispatch, one of leaders in the fight against utility over charges and excesses, has fought vigorously against perman ent or long-term franchises to utilities. Portland and Oregon may well await the result of cer tain pending cases dealing with the American Telephone and Telegraph company and its operating units. An Illinois case was remanded back from the U. S. supreme court some months ago for further findings. There will thus be decided before long certain vexing quest-ions of fact as well as law, with respect to the operations of the telephone company. The Oregon commissioner should proceed to assemble all the data concerning the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com pany in this state; but he may as well save the state money and accept the decisions in the eastern cases with respect to those questions the ruling onr which will apply here. This relates in particular to the relation between the operating telephone units and the great manufacturing subsidiary, the Western Electric The telephone franchise in Salem will expire in 1934. By that time the situation may be clarified so it may be re newed with a fuH imderstanding of what is involved. The action of the Portland city council in effect scraps what we always believed was a foolish piece of legislation spon sored by the "Joseph platform", the "home rule" bill, which as enacted was "home rule with hobbles. Hoover and the Navy League APPARENTLY President Hoover should have worn his "hair shirt a little more cheerfully last month when the Navy League president accused him of "abysmal ignorance. While his own committee has condemned the statement of the Navy League president, 7.Tilliam Henry Gardiner, that of ficial has refused to apologize as the president originally de manded; and now the League renews with vigor its attack on the president's' naval policy. The Navy League is clearly seeking to sabotage efforts at disarmament. While the peace organizations such as the - National Council for Prevention of War are circulating pe titions demanding radical cuts in armaments and military budgets at the Geneva conference of next February, the Navy , League fights for naval parity with England, fights against ; the president's program, and uses the old slogans of naval supremacy which date back to Admiral Mahan's "Sea Power .' in History". Judging from its list of off icers the League is a group of Sack Bay patrioteers. They are like the Daughters of the ; He volution with pants on. It is just because there are these Navy Leagues in most every large nation that progress in - . the -direction of disarmament and accord is retarded. They represent the conception of imperialist-patriotism backed by . military and naval force, forgetting that the last war dem onstrated the folly of war in the modern economic world. The president in showing his irritation at the vicious thrusts of the Mary League surely blew the draft of publicity on the coals, of their fire. What would have been just another dig quickly forgotten assumes now the proportions of an "incident". HHwn county game yroieciive snagne oagm to extend a , benevolent .protectorate over Tn&ko. While the game league's activ ity does not actually extend to elephants which see not native to the ,,. valley, still an elephant 1a an animal. the game league is as good an organization as any to see that old Teske gets food and X Grins through the winter season. 1 1 less. I n. By XL 8. COPBLAND. If -D. ' Not long ago as Important child health conference was held la Washington. At that time the daily newspapers ported the de bates and final ly the conclu sions of the con ference. Recent ly little has been reported concerning . the results ot this important gath erings K everthe- the work being carried even though iftm Vnmnaf mi. Dr. ceoeiai Blong tn&td some time since. The conference expressed the views that although education is important, the health of our chil dren most be considered first. It has been estimated that nearly three hundred, thousand cases of communicable diseases -are report ed annually in the United States. Half of this number occur in -children. This makes It important that the schoel ceeperate with the health -authorities and that great er public effort be made for better child health. These authorities insist that all children be vaccinated for small pox and be immunized against diphtheria and scarlet fever. It is important that this be done before the child is admitted to school. Although typhoid fever cases are still reported, it rarely appears among schoel children. Typhoid is not easily transmitted from one child to another. If that dlseaae should become prevalent, vaccines may be easily administered. Bat as regards smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever, the danger J great er because these diseases are read ily transmitted. This danger is a problem ot the school, for in the schoolroom. Ilea the danger ef transmitting the diseases. It is important that the school-child be vaccinated before entering school. When vaccinated against smallpox, as well as receiv ing the innoculatlon against diphtheria, he is assured of reas onable safety from these diseases. Take the Precautions Although at one time it was hoped Immunity to scarlet fever could be given, the method has not been as successful as desired. At any rate, it can be said that a child who receives inoculations against scarlet fever la not harm ed, and in many cases may be markedly benefited. In actual cases of scarlet fever the advan tages and benefits of the admini stration of scarlet fever anti-toxia are well worth while. I mention these facts because there are many children attending sehool who have not received smallpox vaccination. In addition. there are manv who should be sub jected to the "Schick test and "Dick test." The Schick test deter susceptible to diphtheria and (he Dick test does the same for scarlet fever. Please remember that the health of your child is worth any rice By his being healthy he will be able to attend school without any loss of time. Also he will not be exposed to tho many dangers that exist in school life. If you have not already taken these necessary precautions, why not speak to your board of health official or consult with your fam ily doctor?

The New Orleans Picayuae editor ' writing in XtM aaid of the guide: who led the Applegate covered wagon train, that they "engaged aa old mountaineer, known as CapUin Gant, as their guide through the mountains te Fort Hall. He was John Gantt, for merly an army officer, who went with the contingent that struck off with the California party which left the main company near American Falls. There were II of these men, and they abandoned their wagena and made up a pack train. 1 S The concluding words of the tl year old news article, the reader wiU recall, were these: "It was droll to hear how the Sioux stared at the great caravans. Some of them on seeing the great number of wagons, and particularly white women and children, for the first time, began to think of coming down here, having Been, as they supposed, 'the whole white vil lage' move up the mountains.',' S He meant that some ot the Sioux Indiana concluded that all the white people had gone west, and that therefore they were free to go down to New Orleans and take charge of the abandoned countrv. A The Picayune editor said the wagoa company elected a council ot 19. Other authorities say nine; likely correct, coming from men who were members of the great company of Argonauts, and made written accounts of their exper iences and observations as such m Emerson Hough in his great book and picture, "The Covered Wagon," had in mind the Apple- gate train, more than any other, though he jumped It np five years in order to portray the California gold excitement of 1848-9.

Applegate was his "Jesse Win- gate ot the book and picture. - Those Who read the bosk or saw the picture will recall that some members of the great com pany of 1I4S turned back on the plains. This was in conformity with the truth. Neamith gave their names, la his famous address at the third annual meeting of the Oregon Pioneer association at the state fair grounds In 1876; the first one of the notable series held there. He said: "Of the par ty, the following named persons turned back oa the Platte: Nich olas Biddle, Alexander Francis. F. Lugur, John Loughborough and Jackson Moore. Their hearts weakened at the prospect of the toil, privations and dangers of the trip and the great uncertainty ot its termination. In view of all the surrounding circumstances then existing, I am of the opinion that those who turned back manifest ed more discretion, but less valor than, those of us who braved the dangers and uncertainties of the trip." S S S Neamith listed only heads of families; so It Is not known how- many women and children were among the party turning back. Following are some explanatory words from the Neamith address S S "Having been elected by the people comprising the emigration to the position of orderly sergeant with the duties ot adjutant, it de volved upon me to make up a complete roll of the male mem hen, of tha company capable ot bearing arms, and including all ahore the age of 19 years. They were divided lata four details for guarn anty, thus giving one fourth of the company a turn of guard duty every fourth day, or as soldiers express it, we had three nights in bed.' I have that old roll before me, and it is the only authentic copy extant. It has lain among my musty docu ments for nearly a third of a een tnry, and I shall now proceed to call over the names with the sad consciousness that the most of them have answered their last roll-call upon earth, and I hope have made a better exchange for the troubles of this life.
