Washington wants the Columbia basin project for irrigating
a million acres of land whose production is not needed. Ore

velt and reported things were jake with him for building a
dam at Grand Coulee in north central Washington. Power
would be generated and sold to the jackrabbits that inhabit
that area. Water might be pumped to flood the thirsty acres.
Next day the Oregon senators see Pres. Roosevelt and report
that the president is all off on the Grand Coulee dam, and
is turning a friendly smile toward Warrendale, The Dalles,

Not only is there discord between the two states re
specting development of the Columbia, but there is a deep
cleft in Oregon at about the John Day river. Below that
they want the development at The Dalles, while above they
argue that the best place to build is at Umatilla rapids. AH
those who do not want to be shot just pass the buck to the
army engineers, hoping perhaps they can get round to the
back door first and influence the army board over what
choice to make. i . . . .
Even if the northwest doesn't need the irrigation or the
power, it will provide work for men out of jobs; and if eith
er takes as long in proportion as to put up a town postoff ice,
it ought to be completed by 1950 when the second cycle of
good times may be back again. The work is to be paid for
with pacer money anyway. ' , ' . ,
Seriously speaking however the Columbia river zone of
fers an opportunity for big-scale planning on a better basis
than the Tennessee valley. Irrigation, navigation, power
await only the expenditure of some hundreds of millions. If
the million acres in Washington is put under irrigation then
tht power development would be needed to supply electric
energy to the homes and industries of the northwest; and
navigation would be needed to bring cheaply to world mar
kets the production from such an area. The project would
not carry itself so far as the interest load is concerned and
repayment of the principal; but it would provide employ
ment, and eventually the development would mean much to
the northwest. f , .
There will never be any agreement however who gets
the first bite of the cherry. Congress should adopt the cus
tomary formula of "empowering the president" to select
what ever project he wishes, free coinage of cement at Um
atilla or the allotment plan at Grand Coulee which will take
over thousands of acres of jackrabbit land.

to children at an early age. Th chad
should be taught to eat all foods and
never to develop a dislike for any eae
food. The food should be varied and
tempting to the eye and palate. Par
ents should avoid discussing foods
they dislike la the presence of chil
dren. Mealtime should be punctual and
meals served without rush. The
breakfast la the most Important meal
of the older child and sufficient time

means a good start for the day. It
should consist of fruit, a hot or cold
cereal, a glass of milk and buttered

Dr. A. M. Belt, pioneer shval-
claa, had his home at the north
east corner ot Union and Church
streets, and owned all the land
back to North MiU creek. Wiley
Chapmaa had brought some Am
erican or eastern black walnuts
with him in IS 47, and had start
ed plantings. Dr. Belt employed
him to set out some of tbm
around his property.
Wiley Chapmaa erected one of
the first 10 to IS residences in Sa

was the builder of the first Mar
lon county court house, on the
site ot the present one, la 13(1-2.
His son, M. N. Chapman, was
county clerk la the eighties.
Some time later. M. N. Chapman
acquired the old Belt property,
running along the east side of
Church street from the corner of
union to North Mill creek. Ia

Later, the tree In question was
completely topgraUed, as told
above. That was II or more years
age. The first seasoa after graft
ing, some English variety walnuts
were produced on the grafts. The
next year, a flour sack full of
nuts was harvested, and the crop
cas increased every year sine.
With the black walnuts kept
pruned off. It wiU not be long un
til the historic tree wUl be fur
nishing lite pounds a year, aad
eventually a ton or more, perhaps,
with normal growth. That expec-
lauon u not a pipe dream. There
are English walnut trees in Eur
ope 1500 to 1800 years old. aad
stm bearing annually increasing
crops some of them with limb
spreada that seem all hut mirac
ulous in wideness ot spaee cov
ered, and annual crops in propor
tion. V
All this is, it should be added,
more or less speculative. No one
knows the certain expectancy of
life of aa English walnut tree. It
may depend apoa location, ana
include the matter of possible
moisture for the roots. But the
walnut tree has a tendency to
seed its roots deep and far, seek
ing moisture and fertility.
The expectancy may or may aot
depend somewhat upoa the effect
of grafting a black tree over to aa
English one. That experiment is
not old enough to yet determine
definite reactions or influences

Lately she never knew what mood
he would be ia when he stepped into

morning he had forgotten to kiss

had been thinking of it all day, tell
ing herself that doubtless be was
worried about something at the of

now, she smiled up at him and held
oat a hand. His own fell slacldy
away from hers as sooo as he had
touched it. "Still awake?" he asked
tonelessly.
-Of course, I'm awake, Kim." She
closed her book and laid it oo the

Kim turned his back to her and
began to take off his necktie.
"Yeah, that's the way they do it."
he answered.
He took off his coat and Mary
Faith got out of bed to hang it over
the back of the chair. Then she took
his pajamas from their book ia the
dothes closet and handed them to
him. She always waited oo him as
if she were his servant
"I was sure I saw you tonight,"
she said presently, by way of making
conversation. "I felt lonesome, so I
took the baby up to Mrs. Pucketfs
and had dinner there. Oa the way
home, I was positive that I saw you
come out of the drug store."
He swung round then aad looked
at her. "Oh. you're crazy T be said
roughly. "So that's why you were
cross-qn es trading me about the clam
bake? Trying to find out whether
I really went to one, or not"
"Why, Kim, I was not!" Mary
Faith's voice was full of indignation.
"I thought it was yoa oaly for s

Well, all right, i U take your
word for it Right now I'ra too

looked better thaa Mary Faith had
ever sera her. f
"I had a beautiful time." she said
at supper. "Lacy watted oa me,

was there. She just couldn't do
enough for me, it seemed. Every
morning she brought me my break,
fast ia bed and once or twice a week
she'd have friends ia to loach, just
for my entertainment"
This was her way of making Mary
Faith feel that she was neglected at
home, and Mary Faith knew it She
knew, too, that she did not neglect
her, but she felt s bit guilty any
how. "Perhaps we ought aot leave your
mother," she said to Kim that night
whea he suggested a drive through
the park. "If we go out, shell have
to sit here alone with the baby, and
she wan't Lice that after the gay life
she's had at Lucy's all summer."
' Kim's only answer was, "Well,
suit yourself about going." He
started for the front door, and she
suddenly decided to go, too. After
all. he was more important than
Mother Farrell, and they wouldn't
be gone long.
On the way back to the flat Mary
Faith suggested that they stop at
the drug store oa the corner for a
soda. Afterward she remembered
that Kim had not looked exactly
pleased at the suggestion.
They were sitting at the marble
counter when she saw him turn his
head and look at someooe oo the
other side of the store. Mary Faith
turned her owe head after a minute
to find out whom he was looking at
so steadily.
Behind the perfume and cosmetics
counter stood a tall girl ia a green
linen dress. Her eyes, from that dis
tance, looked as if they were green
too and her ash-blond hair was
braided around her head. She was
extremely pretty. And she was smil
ing st Kim.
As soon as Mary Faith turned,
she stopped smiling and Kim looked
away.
"Kim, why should you turn your
head and grin at her, even if she is
pretty?" asked Mary Faith.
Kim laughed and shrugged his
broad shoulders. "You know what
they say Mary Faith. A woman is
as old as she looks, but a man Is old
whea he stops looking."
Mary Faith could not sec any hu
mor ia that "I never think of notic
ing any maa but you, Kim. I never
really see anybody but you any
where." He patted her hand.
Two or three times the next day
or two Mary Faith found herself
thinking of the girl in the drug store
aad of the maa whom she had seen
coming out of the store on the night
of the Shore Club clam bake.
Was it possible . . . .?
But beyond this point Mary
Faith's mind refused to go. She was
so honest and straightforward her
self that it was easy for her to be
lieve that everybody else was
straightforward and honest too. Her
instinct was to trust people in gen
eral, and Kim ia particular.
However, she was neither stupid
nor blind. And as the bright chilly

knew that Kim no longer belonged
to her as he had during the summer.
