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 -

Whites Exploit Colored Peo
ples, but Races may
Compete
By P. B. COLTON
NEW ORLEANS. 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."

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.

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. Certainly ft is a
wonder the Mlnto pass was not
found in time t5 give great relief
to the covered wagon trains from

Jito gave his vaqueros an order,
and in the instant they brought the
bent old man before him.
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. Yon know

this bandit has promised to protect
all of you. WeD, he makes poor suc

let that pass. You have been warned
to go. One month aero I warned to
again. You said nothing. You did
nothing."
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.

way from time immemorial up to

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
