Per Copy I cents On trains and News Stands 5 cent x s Short Sand Beach IT was in 1924 that we first visited Short Sand beach which has now been deeded to the state as a park by E. S. Col lins, Portland lumberman. With a small party we made an over-night trip of it. Then to reach it one had to take the nar row trail around the, f ace. of -Neah-kah-nie mountain, which - shoulders out into the very ocean. The marine view along the trail was magnificent, one that has few parallels on this coast. Tillamook Head is something like it, and Cape Perpet ua down in Lane county. From Neah-kah-nie mountain one ... may see far out over the ocean, and the fringe of summer homes along the shoreline in the settlements of Neah-kah-nie, Manzanita, the mouth of the Nehalem with its spit of sand where the beeswax ship grounded centuries ago, and on be yond to Manhattan and Rockaway beaches and Cape Mears with its light. To the north is Treasure Cove, and beyond is Cape Falcon. Short Sand beach is tucked in between Cape Falcon and ; one of the ridges of the mountain which breaks down to the sea. The water runs in and forms something like a hol low square instead of the usual v-shaped indentation of the coastline. Mighty hemlock and spruce rise beyond the" short stretch which limits the tides; a creek meanders through the woods and spreads out over the tide-washed beach. On the Cape Falcon side there are agate caves, accessible at low tide. The beach itself is long and shallow, perfect for bathing when the tide comes in. At extreme low.tide clamming-is a major sport, with these fancy razor clams to reward the nimble. Last, summer we revisited Short Sand beach. Now a road has been chiseled around the mountain, hanging over the edge of precipices, possessing the matchless marine view like the old trail did. The highway will cut in back of Short Sand beach, though at present there is a half-mile of trail from " the end of construction to the beach. When the road is built and tourists roll in over the oiled macadam, then thousands will see and enjoy this little gem of a beach. We hope it may be preserved in its wild state; for the tourist overrun might soon bring desecration to a beauty now almost divine. One by one the threads of highways are woven into strange places, the remote is brought near, and the charm of distant mountain glen and ocean beach laid open for the mul - titude. The state is richer for this gift of Mr. Collins. It pre serve for the people one of the most lovely spots on the coast line; and saves it from the ruin of commercialization. Profits in Bond Flotations THINGS look pretty bad for some of the big bond houses who have admitted making millions in selling foreign bonds to American investors. On New York i nsf ifiiTinn ad mitted making over $29,000,000 on sales of oyer five and a half billions. Kuhn. Loeb and of $4,224,395 on sales of a little over a billion in bonds. Prof- us oi millions ioojc enormous to our eyes because we are ac i customed to think of profits in terms of dollars or hundreds of dollars. But when you figure it out in the first case the margin, of profit was 5-10ths of one per cent ; and in the oth er case less than 4-10ths of one percent. From gross profit also would need to be deducted expenses of handling such - bond issues. The profits appear large but the percentage of profit is small. Had the bonds turned out good, there would be little - criticism of the bond houses. We were starting out to fill the role of a creditor nation and to lend money all over the world. England had done it for centuries at great profit to herself. Our brief experience has been a sorry one; Just how much blame attaches to the financial houses which sold the bonds we do not know. In some instances the v. deals were putrid, as in the case of financing some South American countries and cities. Eut the great majority of tjjje loans were legitimately negotiated and were for honorable purposes, and no skullduggery is apparent in any part of the ' transaction. ., While the finger of shame is pointed at the foreign bonds because of their political aspect, the record of foreign bonds, aside from South 4merica, is not much worse than that of domestic bonds where values have melted away. Is sues brought out even since the depression started have sunk down into the thirties in the quotation tables. Some one is to blame; hut it is difficult to say just who. The times are out of joint and the judgment even of the most experienced men has gone sadly awry in many cases. I A Famous Editor Dies DEATH has removed o4e of the greatest editors of the western world: C. P. Scott for 57 years editor of the Machester Guardian, in England. His paper was little known this far from the seat of its publication, and the name of its editor scarcely at all. Yet the influence of the Guardian tin- de.r. tw. editorial tutelage of Mr. Scott was world-wide. His retirement from active work a few years ago was the occa- expression of tribute to Mr. Scott from all quarters . of the English-speaking wof Id. The only papers we trkink. of as comparing with the Guardian under Scott are the Springfield Republican under the elder Samuel Bowes, and the Nation, New York, first un tier L. Godkm and now,uder Oscar G. Villard. Scott made it nFiS " mss circulation after the fashion of Lord rthcliffe. He held to the! highest ideals of his profession, lie stood for principles wlich were rooted in instincts of idealism and social uplift, knd did not debase his ideas in . the race for subscribers. 1 - ,-,UAat Mo,uat Angel only $378.66 of the town's 1930 tax levy , of 2I0 remains unpaid.

Jan. 2(AP) The urge for wealth that gara the white race world supremacy has created a new kind of "racial peril" that may threaten white rule, the American association for the advancement of science was told Friday. The new "racial peril", includes yellow, brown and black races and arises from rapid increase of these races in. response to the white man's world-wide demand for la bor and markets." said Dr. a. J. Holmes of the University of Cali fornia. It is financially profitable for the whites to eneourare. increase of the world's colored races, for these races help produce, the white man's wealth and buy his goods, he declared, but this aolicr may result in an intensified struggle lor existence between the colored races and the whites. "The tendency of industrial de velopment to cause dominant peo ples to be swamped out by the de scendants oi - more primitive stocks who are utilized as laborers is one which every wiselv-eov erned people should consider with great care." Dr. Holmes con tinned.' , "Just 3 bad money drives out good money, so a low standard population tends to drive out i high standard population. "The white race's nolicr of m ploitation has contributed not onl to the Increase of the white race out it nas aided also the increase or its rivals," he said. "In the present period of the worms history, the white race, after having spread over and ex ploited very considerable portions of the earth's surface, and after ward wrought unspeakable havoc as a result of Its domination, has uuw come to minister to .the wel iare or its colored cohabitants, oecause it is rinding them a valu able financial asset."

A com pany under Sublette (likely Min ion ouoiette) traveled with them from the Platte to Green river" We find Harris with the party starting fromthe old what became Salem with Dr. El- ijan nite on July 12, 1815, in his then well known attempt to find a passage over the Cascades for future covered wagon trains arriving from beyond the Rock ies. The other members of this party were Joseph Gale, Baptists DuOuerre, John Edwards, Orris Brown, Joseph C. Saxton, and two others. They explored up theSan tiam, and further south, perhaps as far as the MeKenzIe, but made no headway In finding what they were searching- for. We find Harris in the spring of 18 4 going with another party up the Santiam on the same quest, the other members being the J. M. Garrison, J. B. McClane, Thom as Holt, James P. Martin, J. W. Boyle and A. a R. Shaw, known as "Sheeo" Shaw. Is Stin later in that year, Harris was with the party on the sajne quest, mentioned by John Mlnto; the party headed by Col. Corne lius Gmiam, and of which Judge T. C. Shaw was the youngest member and in which was Jo seph Gervais.

His faded blue overalls were tat tered at the edges. The shoes upon his feet wtre cut and worn. He looked up fearfully at the towering vaquero. "For the love of God, sefior," his thin, high roice began, "what do yon want of me? I have nothing here. I am poor." Jito smiled thinly. "And you will be many times poorer before the night is finished." He rolled a cig arette. "Two months aa. YeWn Dominguer, I told 'you to leave this country. I told you we would not tolerate your presence here in the midst of our range." But I own these fire acres. I have my papers." The voice trem bled. Papers, you peon dog. What are papers to; us? Are we clerks and schoolboys that you talk of papers?" eut, se&or,- the voice had token on a puzzled tone, "I own this land." Now, by the cross, you - own nothing here except through the tol erance of Paco Morales. You all know that. He tolerates you. By his favor, he lets you live, and when he chooses to raise a finjrer and sav go, it is better that you eo. or ths you had never been born.

I asked for time." the thin M voice replied. ' I asked only to stay until after harvest. It would ruin me to leave my home before har vest." It will ruin you in any case, old one. Jito pnffed slowly at his cig arette. The flames roared higher, gleaming on the vaqueros' bridles and polished conchas, casting long shadows out toward the black night about them. Beyond lay the village in ab3o!jte quiet. Morales had laid his long arms about Adela. Beside her Ted stood, grimly alert. To Be Continued) 154 on; especially since the Hud3on'a Bay company men had used it up to the thirties or later, and the Indians had come that way from time immemorial up to the early -part of the last centnrv. . And the search for a better way across the Cascades went on. That same year (1840), Black Harris started JuneS from the Apple gate settlement on the Rlckreall in search of the "southern route." Jesse Applegate headed the party, and the other members besides Harris were Lindsay Apple?ats, John Scott, Henry Bogus, John Owens, John Jones, Robert Smith, Samuel Goodhue, Bennett Os borne and Wm. Sportsman. The party had a Journey of many hardahlps and dangers, through southern Oregon, the Klamath country, and on eastward, and ar- Fort HaU 118111 fter JulX -5. Henry Bogus learned there that a son of James Grant, fac tor at Tort Hall, had started for St. Louis, and,-wishing to return across ths plains, followed him. and was never again heard from.
