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

pretty well agreed with the
for all the years.
The business ot examining the

er! that a pool operating la stock of .the Radio corporation made
profits ot five million dollars In seven days. Big names figured In
the split. Including Raskob, Jerry Riordan, Durant, the Fisher broth

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

the missionaries at . first ground

his arrived Joined the mission
forces, and he was converted at
the old mission. 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

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.
