Brosnan's Life of Jason Lee xtO WHERE should there be creater interest in Prof. C. J. 'IN Brosnan's biography of Jason Lee than in Salem. This became the center of his final labors as "Missionary to Ore gon". Numerous churches of the denomination which sent him to this coast attest the permanence of -his work; a 'university stands on the foundation of his Indian school. IWa in a heautiful soot on old Chemeketa plain his remains lie buried, besides the two wives who before him yielded up their lives in this new land, distant from home and kindred. This biography deserves to stand as a complete and on the whole accurate relation of the facts of Jason Lee's life. Trip rtvIa is distinctlv narrative : striDDed almost to bare fact. There is little of appraisal until the epilogue; and through ' out the work there is little in the way of description. The nW mflv lav the book aside with very little stirring of his emotions, so barren is the book of personal feeling or appeal. While this is a tribute to the impartial character of the work trnA tn the fidslitv of the author in sticking to fact, still the character and the scene would seem to excite some use of brushes dipped in richer pigment than the bare details of bi ographic fact Perhaps, however this is a praiseworthy fault;. for Lee like most of the pioneers, has suffered some from over-eulogy, though he was not apothesized quite like Dr. Marcus Whitman whose martyrdom became a crown 01 giory. Dr. Brosnan introduces considerable new material, par ticularly the correspondence between Lee and his former teacher. Dr. Wilbur Fisk, one-time principal of Wilbraham aeademv. Massachusetts, and the man directly responsible for selecting .Jason Lee as Methodism's response to the cry s of the Indians for the white man's religion. His work is lib eraHy sprinkled with extracts from letters, contemporary is sues of the "Christian Advocate", and other source mater- ials. Particularly full, and for the most part new to western admirers of Jason Lee, is Brosnan's study of Lee's life in The Murder of the Night Club Lady By ANTHO BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J.

And the roar of the water fall over the mlU dam gave it a thrill never to be forgotten by me. For years It held me ia that trance. It Inspired me to draw pictures, and day after day, month after month I used to draw its people on the smooth surface of the pine boxes that brought dry goods to town, and, strangely, many of them I mount ed on fiery Arabian steeds, and the strangest part of Silverton Is that it never releases me a day from its hold.

I yet hear the roar of Sil ver creek as It pours like a sheet of silver over the mill dam be low the 'old red shop'; then again I see it each day as the years go by as I first remember seeing it the evening I lost the copper toe from my new boot. I hare thought of it while seated tn the ruins of the Coloseum at Rome, thought of it in London and Paris and Constantinople, thought of It while rasting in the death-like silence of the shadow of the Sphinx, and told of it near the Euphrates river in Arabia, while among the wild trlbea of Anezeh.

They with the petty pains aad pangs of life have been forgotten, and while I know that some ef my expressions of love for this little town have been misunderstood by the newer and younger genera tion, yet I am certain that the pio neers, the men and women that belong to the old oak tree, have all seen in every word I have written or line I have drawn per taining to Silverton and the farm ers around it, nothing but love. All the attention I have drawn to it in the past and any I may la the future was. will be. to benefit Silverton. My only regret Is that we couldn't have remained always the same as wo were before the big oak tree was chopped down, as that tree seemed to fit into our landscape better than open or paved streets do. The tree seemed to be a center of dignity around which we could build, a tree with stories beyond the first white mam it ever saw: and many a day whea have watched the leading cit izen playing v marbles la Us ex tensive shadow, I have thought: How many are the interesting stories YOU could tell, of ages past whea you saw the beautiful deer aad other wild game gather at your base, of the great pride you must hare felt when the old cock grouse hooted from your moss covered limbs la the early breaklag of the spring and of the Interesting councils of war which painted Indians in ancient days convened under your spreadiag old limbs.

To oa who had waded throagh se much mystifica tion ia the last twenty-four hears bis accusation seemed something mora than mere guess-play. Ia my owa mind, aa I reviewed our past findings, the links began to appear. Yet how had Guy Everett man aged to kill both Lola and Chris tine? Granted that be had ample motive, where was his opportunity T True, we did not know his move ments between certain highly crit ical and important hours. But Lola had died, practically before our eyes. Christine s body had been smuggled late the apartment, against our police guard. Where waa Everett then? Until these rid dles were answered we were no better off than when wa started. "May I see the body of my sla ter T" asked Edgar Quires, rising as if he understood that bis inter rogation was ended. Colt rose with him. "You will be notified whea you may claim her," the chief answered. "You see, the medical nrwrr has not yet brought in his complete re port. But that is only a formality.

I would tike you to be at the pent-house of Lola Carewe whea I call yoa, You wOl be notified!" Thatcher Colt and Edgar Quires Shook hands. Then, with his hand laid tenderly oa the arm of his wife, the brother of the murdered Christine departed. As the doer closed, the Police Commissioner pressed a button. NY ABBOT " i fl1! Twe plain -clothes men were set oa the trail ef Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Quires. And thus It was that two plain clothes men were set on the trail of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Quires, while Colt and Dougherty onee more put their heads together for new plans and fresh devices. Dougherty took the lead in the discussion. "I do not see," he began, "where your Paris background, what we might can the Basil Boucher mo tif, fits in with the newest devel opments. Vincent Rowland had a good motive for killing these three peojle. If he has been involved ia crooked dealings, his high position, coupled with the known force and resourcefulness of the man, make the theory quite attractive. What a job, it would be to try Vincent Rowland for two murders!" "You would try them only one at a time," Colt corrected the District Attorney with a smile, "Need we be technical?" chuck led Dougherty, running a thiek sand through his mop of red curls. 'On the other hand, Guy Everett teems to be an emotionally unstable ersoa - who might have done it through some insane motive of re venge. I believe the ease has nar rowed down to these two." Colt nodded philosophically. "Perhaps," he commented. "But there remain certain obstacles to both theories. As a matter ef fact, there remain other obstacles to any theory until we break through one physical barrier. Where was Chris tine Quires between the time she got out of the elevator and the time we found her dead? Until we get over that hurdle, everything else stands still." "That's a tough one," agreed the District Attorney. "I have been racking my brains ever since last night, and I confess that for hours on end I eouLurt get within an ineh of the problem,' went on Colt. "But tonight I ex pect to solve it." "Tonight?" "Yes, Dougherty. In a little while, you, Tony and I are going back to that pent-house. And we are not coming out of it until this mystery is solved." "Great I" approved Dougherty. "But in the meantime there are a few questions" The telephone rang. Inspector Flynn was speaking from his office downstairs. A few reports had come in which were of interest in the Carewe-Quires murders. The clerk who had been on duty la the lobby of the apartment house had at last been located. He had been oa a beach-house party la DeaL New Jersey, but was now being ques tioned by the police. He did re member the letter which Lola had found in her box the letter of warning which had drawn as inte the case. When asked hew the let ter had been delivered to the desk, he replied that he did not know. He had been called te the telephone for a moment. When he returned, the letter was lying oa the desk blotter. There was no one in sight. He had not thought this very sig nificant and had merely put the letter back into the box. Farther, Flynn went on te re port, the autopsies were completed, and Doctor Multooler had signed documents, releasing the remains to the family. Told about Edgar Quires, he promised to arrange with the brother for the claiming of Christine. From these details, Flynn passed to a recital of the work on vari ous trails. Vincent Rowland had been under complete observation aU day. Nothing suspicious had devel oped. Late ia the afternoon be had caned at the pent-house and in quired as to the health of Mrs. Ca rewe. The old man looked haggard and shaken at the events ia which he had been entangled. From there he had gone to the Union League Club where he remained up to the last report. Guy Everett had gone to bed and was still ia bed, in his room at the Axton Club. He had left word not to be disturbed. CoH thanked and dismissed Inspector Flynn. "Don't you think we ought te get Rowland and Ererett down here and have it out?" a gala urged Dougherty. But Colt remained adamant. "Not here," he insisted. "But 1 am hoping that I win hare a sim pler plan. Let's be going." And thirty minutes later ws found ourselves back ia the apart ment that had been the home ef Lola Carewe. rr a cwi(d ia raatarca Sradicata. la.
