' Pres. Hoover and others have insisted that this coun try could regain its prosperity no matter what happened in Europe. It could perhaps, but rapid developments abroad may mean that Europe will step ahead of us. Their troubles were not due to over-expansion but to credit anguish caused by reparations, tariffs, etc. Lausanne has been a triumph, the greatest success since Locarno. We look for recovery in Europe to come about with a fair degree of swiftness. Chaos, at any rate, has been averted for the 'steenth time since 1918. ! The clearing of the air in Europe has produced a favor able reaction here; and while we may not build too much on the brighter outlook which prevails abroad, the improved condition is a highly favorable factor for us. Especially is it favorable for lines of trade depending on export to Europe ; and even this remote valley may feel the benefit which may follow the healing measures at Lausanne. The world does learn Its lessons. One we are learning now Is that panics have not been made impossible. That was what we were told after the creation ot the federal reserve system. In 1920 mer chants learned the perils of large Inventories; and since then store-, j keepers have been keen on small stocks and quick turnover, it nas been almost an. obsession with them, but it played hob with manu facturers whose former long runs were spilt into dozens of profit less short runs. In 1925 people learned the folly of riding Into riches on Florida real estate. In 1929 they learned that security prices do not reach to the skies. A new generation will have to learn all these things over again: but the experience of 1930-32 will have a sober ing influence for many years. It Is doubtful barring one grand Arm ageddon that ever again there will be such a coincidence-of catas trophic factors the whole world round. 1 nickreatl, no La Creole: (Continuing from yesterday:) IL . P. Boise baa since. Monday found for the writer the follow ing, from an eld file ef the Dal las Itemixer. which, the Bits man submits, seems to ennch the con tention for the original and early pioneer name! a TJnder the heading of aa Il literate Conception,' the Itemixer ot April 16th answers the ques tion, How eame the reek and ceaatry aboat Dile te be called Rickreall In a manner that is very unjust te the pioneers of this valley. Ia behalf of those pioneers I will give a brief his tory ot the origin of Rickreall. In January. 1145. my father. Nat Ford, while looking for lo cation tor himself and brothers- in-law. C. D. Embree and David Qoff. visited with Jesse Apple- gate, who eame to Oregon 1 la 1843, and was known as a most intelligent man. Applegate came to my father to show him, as he said, the beautiful valley of the Rickreall.' My father return ed to Oregon City for his family and informed us that he had found a place far a future home on the RlckrealL Soooa after we came, my brother, Mark Ford, in conversation with the bright est Calapooia Indian we ever knew, learned that the meaning of Rickreall is 'hlack chuck that is, water that runs very fast. The Indiana had given to this rushing mountain stream one ot their characteristic names. We have in our possession letter written as early as 1845, all ad- dressedto Rickreall, one being from Mark Ford te J. W. Ne- smith and headed Vale ot Rick reall. These man were neither stupid nor illiterate, and could hsTe spelled, pronounced and given the meaning of la Creole- "Josephine P. Boyle, Pioneer of 1844V a Col. Nathaniel Ford was the father of Mrs. Boyle. CoL Ford was a man of good education. His son, Mark Ford, waa a brilllaat lawyer. David Goft was the fath er of Mrs. J. W. Nesmlth. Most readers know that Jesse Apple gate was a man ot culture. He had. In, the spring of 1844, with bis family and his brothers, Charles and Lindsay, and their families, settled on Salt creek. next north of the Rickreall, after spending the winter at the old mission 10 miles below the site of Salem, where they had gone after Jesse Applegate had led the first covered wagon train across the plains the first one bringiag wagons all the way. The original meaning of Creole was a Spanish or French person settled in a colony, and who re tained his racial purity; that la, did not mix with the natives, ta the southern states of this coun try, it became corrupted, until it has come to mean, in some cases, the opposite. That is, a persoa with white blood mixed with col ored, as black, red or brown, etc. or infused with different blends. Even the term "colored Creoles" is sometimes used, bringing pro tests from those holding to the original meaning. S "La Creole," therefore, means, in its original sense, a female of a colony of Spanish or French or igla, la being the feminine' form of the definite article the lan guages coming from the Latin. Dr. McLoughlia ot the Hudson's Bay company told some ot the early settlers ot Polk county that an Indian or no-account half breed, with a party ot his French Canadian trappers, was drowned in the fur hunting period la the Rickreall, and the trappers. ferrlng to the poor fellow as "la Creole," probably attached to the incident the locality and the riv er, giving, of course, the mascu line "le." There Is another tradition that concerns a story ot a reputea beautiful half-Indlaa girt of the locality, who waa called "la Cre ole," or the creole. A forgotten romance connected the maiden with the naming of the stream. Some one will perhaps refer to La Creole academy, once a flour ishing school at Dallas, and argue that It name Indicates the pro per one for the river and locality. But it he will examine the session laws ot the territorial legislature of 'Bl-4. the one that was held In the Rector and Xiesmita buildings. he will find that, oa December 11, 1858, that institution waa charter ed as Rickreall academy, at a time whea la that body sat such mea aa: H.

The U. S.

"The Harvest Days Are Over, Jessie Dear" i ; The death rate continues to decline, according to the figures of the. Metropolitan Lite Insurance company. For the first five months ot the year the rate "was 9.2 per 1,000 among Its millions of policy holders. Last year's rate was 9.8. The chief reasons for. the decline were lower mortality rates tor tuberculosis, pneumonia and lnfluea sa. These are diseases which are subject to considerable control. Medical science now is bending its efforts toward diminishing the In roads of cancer, heart trouble, kidney diseases, classed not as gecm but as degenerative diseases.
