Per Copy 1 centa On tratna and News Stands S rrnfn f Public Interest and the Railroads WHETHER it knows it or not Marion .county and the state of Oregon are in the railroad business. We are proprietors in the sense that we share in the revenues with out putting up any money for investment or for running ex penses. Moreover we get our share even if the stockholders . get nothing.The public's split is called a tax, the share the stockholders get is called a dividend. This year it is probable that the only road operating in Oregon which will keep up its dividends. r Considering the fact then'that this county and state are through collection of taxes vitally interested in the fortunes of the; railroads the report of the Southern Pacific company which, Is one of the heaviest taxpayers here is of importance to the general public as well as to the employes and invest ors. Lj ' ' , , . , The 1931 report for this road. shows that the business de pressimfhas rSaWlTeavy inroads on its income and reduced its profits nearly to the vanishing point. Dividends for the last year were paid out of surplus of prior years; and this year the old S. P. which paid 6 annually since 1907 will pay no dividends. Operating results the first four months of the year have been even poorer tnan in iyi. Railway operating revenues -for the road were down 23 and net revenue from railway operations down Zi. The net income after interest, rent3 and taxes was oaly $7,138,372, a decline of 77. The total taxes paid by the system anoTof affiliated companies was $19,204,782. The dividends paid last year were twenty and a half millions, but they were not earned. Such a vast sum levied on the railroads and through them on the shippers gives the public a tremendous stake in the railroad business. Now, through stoppage of dividends the share for the stockholders is gone. The pertinent question to the public is, how long can the roads continue the burden of taxation? Yet the public continues to tax itself and the railroads to build roads for competing forms of transportation which pay scant taxes into the public treasuries. Even if there is a re sumption of business the situation of the railroads is still un certain because of unrestricted competition which they face. -The public is just letting matters drift; but it. takes no long look ahead to scent trouble. What if the railroads become un able to pay the taxes imposed upon them? That will create a serious condition in cities and school districts particularly. The public will not worry much about the stockholder whose dividend is cut off; but it will squirm uneasily if its prin cipal taxpayer turns up its toes. It is not difficult to foresee a time when the financial difficulties of the railroads may result in depositing them on the doorstep of government, 'f or better or for worse" ; and wartime experience showed it was decidedly for the worse. Birth Control Legislation THE battle over birth control legislation is on in congress. Mrs. Margaret Sanger wants congress to pass a bill which would permit dissemination of such information by physicians. The bill is favored by some and opposed by oth ers. What a foolish argument! Both the information and the devices are in general distribution ; so the argument is large ly academic. The standard women's magazines are advertis ing contraceptives in a phrasing only thinly veiled. The fact Is the fact and congress might as well recognize it instead of maintaining the present statute which is quite futile. ; Religious groups opposing the practice of birth control may bo discipline or counsel should look at the question in a has suffered much abuse: but pretty well agreed with the for all the years.

BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J. HENDRICKS- The first grist mill: Where was It built, and by whom? "a The writer finds In the Cham- poeg Park correspondence of the) Aurora Observer of last week the following: "Last Sunday Presi dent Dobbs of Pacific university, accompanied by Mrs. Dobbs and Albert Tozler, were taken by Hen ry Zorn, owner of the Champoeg farm, to the spot where was built the first grinder mill In the pres ent Oregon and there were shown the old time mill dam and some of the timbers used In the mill nearly 100 years old. It was there that people In the French prairie section assembled and awaited their turn for the grist. The spot is to be marked by the millers ot Oregon." Before President Dobbs gives his full sanction to the millers of Oregon in the proposed marking of that spot as the place where the first "grinder" mill In the present Oregon was built and op erated, It would be well for him to search the records of history, or to make his study a more thor ough one, if he has already searched them. a S S Several historians say Webley Hauxhurst built the first grist mill In the Willamette valley and that would necessarily be the first one "la the present Oregon." It is pretty well established that the mill built by Hauxhurst was located on the stream that runs to the north of the Wheatland terry road, near where it branches ot: from the river highway, about a mile north of the first log houses built at the old mission. At least one historical writer says the mill built by Hauxhurst was erected In 1834. It Is not likely that the date was that early though It la possible; towards the end ot that year. Hauxhurst came with the Sw ing Toung and Hall J. Kelley par ty in 1834. Jason Lee commen ced work at the old mission Oc tober S, 1S34. It la related that the missionaries at . first ground tho grain for their flour in a cof fee mill.

He was baptised there July 16, 1837, by Jason Lee, and thus became a Methodist, and was one of the organizers ot the First Methodist church ot Salem, and a member of the board of trustees ot the Oregon Institute (Willamette university.) He mar ried an Indian woman, of the Yamhill tribe, arthe mission, and the writer thinks she survived him. "a Mrs. Gen. W. H. Odell, writing In 1884 of the Methodist semi centennial (First Methodist church of Salem), said ot the old mission family: a "a "A coarse kind of flour, this, varied with boiled wheat, suf ficed tor bread. Some times, when the delicate appetite required a daintier dish, wheat, ground through the coffee mill, gave flour of a finer mold. But in a little time the missionaries had a mUl of their own put In operation, which, though at first worked by horse power, met their necessi ties.' 'This could not have fur nished bolted flour, for it is told ot one of those ladles, how she would take her sack of wheat, and, with two little wee tod dlers,' make her way on foot to the mfll, PERHAPS A MILB FROM HER HOME, wait for it to be ground, and on her return sift out the finer portions to be made into bread for her husband, who was miles away at another mis sionary point, . and serve the coarser for herself and her chil dren. Others probably practiced similar denial." a a "a Mrs. Odell was a cultured wom an, and she knew and was inti mate with several of the surviv ing members of the old mission family, like Mrs. David Leslie, Helen Leslie, J. L. Parrlsa and others. Rev. George Gary, who came to close up the affairs of the old mission, after the depar ture of Jason Lee, had a good deal to say of Webley Hauxhurst in the written records he made. He was frequently entertained at the Hauxhurst home, then on Mill creek across the present high way leading past the plant and o I j . : U7 - -1 '--. ' I- - . -il lands of the Oregon penitentiary. Hauxhuret's donation claim was there, running east of the creek and out as far as or farther than the "four corners." "a S a April 18. 1845, Rev. Gary wrote: "Brother Hauxhurst is more pleasing and agreeable than the ordinary many. He waa born la Brooklyn, New York. He was formerly a sailor. He left his ves sel la California and came into thla country . . . with all the pro pensities of a depraved life He in a short time experienced religion, and is now a respectable man la the community, only he has a squaw wife. He is leading a religious life, their oldest child is at school, and he takes a great Interest in his children." Other writers of early history. Including S. A. Clarke, gave sim ilar testimony. Bancroft said ot him: . "Hauxhurst, a native ot Long Island, also stood well la the territory, especially with the missionaries, by whom he was converted in 1837. He BUILT THE FIRST GRIST MILL la the Willamette valley." In the above, the writer for Bancroft. Mrs. Frances Fuller Victor, was quoting from S. W. Moss, and she also was then near enough to the events, and had suf ficient other contacts, to discrim inate between true history and uncertain hearsay evidence. Ia giving the names of the Touag Kelley party, Mrs. Victor listed Hauxhurst as Webley John Haux hurst. In the same paragraph In which she wrote the above quoted words, she wrote: "Jean Baptists Deportee McKay came with As tor's company, and settled at Champoeg In 1831." a la a It is generally conceded that he was the McKay who built the grist mill that was at or near Champoeg. If so, it is evident that he did not build it at as early a date as the one constructed for the mission by Webley Haux hurst. Jeaa B. D. McKay was well knowa to all the original arrivals in the country after 1831. He kept the first turn v Willamette, near where Cham poeg park Is now. That was a fa mous headquarters plaee for tha original white comers, and at that point mere was an ancient ril lage of the Champoeg tribe of Indians, who had bark houses oa both sides of the river, on and across the stream from the site of the state park. If there had been a grist mill there In the early or late thirties, some person passing that way and WTlting of his ex periences would hare mentioned it. The Bits man cannot find any such record. Who was S. W. Moss, quoted by Mrs. Victor T He came with the Dr. Elijah White party In 1842, the first considerable body of per sons coming to the country as set tlers. He was very well known to all Oregoa pioneers. He had spent some time, on his way out, at the Whitman mission, and Narclssa Whitman, after her visit In 1843 to the Methodist mission families ia and around the site of Salem, la writing to some of them from her home at WaUIatpu, spoke familiarly of Moss and his affairs, showing interest ia his welfare, and indicating that he had con tided in her as to his beliefs, as pirations, etc She ao doubt met him. on Wallace prairie, at The MUls (Salem), or Oregon City.
