The Elevator -Gomg Up
THERE is renewed crowding and pushing in the lobby to
be first to get Into the elevator, for the call boy has sig
, naled "Going Up!? Orders are rolling in to buy stocks till
the ticker gets all jammed up. Wheat is reclimbing the lad
: der. Hops are doing a sky rocket. Even wool, staid old wool,
i I -Js turning handsprings.
" ' ' It is the old fever of speculation. It's in the blood. Peo-
pie buy if they think something is going up in price. They
i bought U. S. Steel at 250, when they knew its earnings did
. not justify the price, simply because they thought it would
go higher and they could unload,
i 4 There is justification for a recovery of prices which
i have been depressed far below costs of production. Specula
i tion is br no means all a sin i but it so easily gets over into
the gambling fever that periods of deflation inevitably re
sult. They are the natural aftermath of speculative excesses.
Trees do not grow to the sky.
Congress may pass all the laws it desires to curb spec
ulation. It may put bridle and breeching about issuance of
securities.' It may put hobbles on the stock evxhanga. But so
long as individualistic economy obtains, uun will speculate.
It may be Florida real estate, or Texas oil wells, or Central
Public service stock, or hops or hogs. Sometimes people win
i by speculation, sometimes they lose. 1
You cant stop speculation; but it might be a good idea
1 to post a sign like they do at swimming places: Manage-
ment not responsible for injuries, lost umbrellas, or stone
bruises. .
I A Frigate Calls
THE old frigate Constitution is moored in the Columbia
river off Astoria. This is appropriate anchorage for Old
Ironsides, because Astoria was founded in the days of the
frigates. During the same war in which the Constitution
gained distinction Astoria was surrendered to the British
who rechristened it Fort George. Frigates of many nations
called at the mouth of the Columbia a century and more ago ;
and the Constitution is but traveling old sea lanes for ships
of this classification.
Too bad the Constitution cannot sail on up the river to
Salem. It is expected when the water in the Columbia is low,
during August, that she will come to Portland, following a
visit on Puget Sound. But her masts of 200 feet are too tall
to let the ship pass under the Portland and upriver bridges.
She draws 10 ft. of water which calls for more draught than
the Willamette allows in low water season; and her beam
is about 10 feet too wide for the locks at Oregon City. The
vessel is 175 feet long, the same length as the steamer North
western which plies the river here.
The frigate does not sail under her own canvas. Instead
she is drawn by a naval mine sweeper. " ,
When the Constitution calls at Portland there may be
fitting exchange of salutes between her and the battleship
Oregon, which won honors in a later war. The frigate gave
place to the steam-powered battleship; the battleship may
give way to the aerial bomber. The mechanics of mass
slaughter we call warfare keeps marching on.

Third, quality. W d mot have,
here, weather sufficiently hot in

in California. Besides, w her
slower growth, with cool nights,
sad a firmer, ''nuttier texture
aad taste. Thus, a higher quality
resulting in a differential la fa
vor of our first quality, grafted
product, over California's firsts,
called there budded," or som I
cents a pound. There ar other In
equalities, in favor of western
Oregon. That is, as to walnut
growing. It is th climate sun
shine and showers, and soil.
S
As to filbert growing, w have
an exclusive field, extending to
western Washington. Excluslv as
to both Americas; giving us fil
berts as a franchise crop. As to
chestnuts, w eaa compete 'with
the world on at least an qual
footing.

In time, the writer bailor es. w
will be growing in our forests
blaok walnut and chestnut trees
for both their edible ants and
their wood, for us In furniture
and I ether manufacturing. We
wftl j be fattening our hogs on
chestnuts, as la Sicily and other
countries. With a dens popula
tion, which will eom. in all like
lihood, future generations will use
edible nuts as a meat substitute.
That tendency Is now gaining
ground in this and other coun
tries. "a "a
Th owner of the grafted wal
nut trees under dlacussloa is O. A.

for about 11 years. Th Clark

The site Is oa the David Leslie

deeded the property to Gee. H.
Jena, la Its 5. Job end wife
transferred it te Laden Heath In
1110. It went from Heath te S. S.
Kearney In 1864, from Kearney
to C. B. Bellinger la 1811, end
oa. through a succession of own
ers, ineladiag the Inlows, there
after. All th first owners represent
names prominent in the history ot
the early days. Leslie was the key
man in the second Methodist mis
sionary reinforcement of 18ST.
One of the first wives ot Jones
was a Leslie. Luclen Heath was
the first mayor of Salem, chosen
at th. el actios held th first Men

If th tree was not set out by

probably belongs to Jones, or at
least to one ot the other owner
ia the early days, mentioned

to the evil-smetling little booth aad

slow deep voice' that ,was like no
otner toic ia the world. He was
taBuog- to some one ia the prescrip

booth. And before she had finished
talking- to Dr. Thatcher. Kim walked
past her en the froat of the store.
-Good-bra,- sh heard him caS U
some ae bchiad the partitioa, aad
a girTs vole answered:
"Good-bye, Sec yoa later.
Mary Faith watched him aro out
Then she heard the familiar sputter
of his roadstec. She opened th door
ot the booth and stepped out Be
hind her, ia the prescription room,
she could hear a girt tmsnsniog. She
harried late the feme-starred dark
ness f Elver Street and turned to
ward . home. Her thoughts were
where her heart was at that moment
ia the Sat with the. baby. At the
moment Jealousy and heartbreak
aad suspicion were trivial things in
th face of his Alness. The very
word conYuUion was so terrify
lag.
She reached the door of the apart
ment buOOiog just as Kiss came
around the corner from the garage.
-Where have yoa becar he
asked, waiting for her to unlock the
door.
-Sam. place yoa were at the
drug store," she told him, with a
flash of bitterness.
She ran up the stairs ahead of him
and through the flat te the bsrhroocn,
where Mrs. Farrell had th baby ia
a tub of hot water. She did not
think of Kim again until eight
o'clock, when the doctor had gone
and she was sitting beside the baby's
crib, watching his regular breathing.
Then Kim came to the door ef th
bedroom and beckoned to her. She
did not mors, merely looked up at
him thoughtfully.
-Kim," she said at last, getting up
from her chair, T saw you in the
store tonight, and X heard you in
the back room, talking to that girl
Kim, how can you be so cheap?
Carrying oa aa affair ia ta back
room of a store'
"Oh, for goodaess sakeT Kim
interrupted, whh a groan. They
were in the dining room now, and
he sat down beside the table, shak
ing his head. "What arc you trying
to do, Mary Faith I Make me con
fess that I'm u love with a derk
ia a store. Just because I happened
to drop ia for a book or a pack of
cigarettes every now and then?"
He got up and stood in front of
her.
-What's the matter whh your he
asked.
klary Faith shook her head. "Kim,
you were ia the back room of that
store."
-WeU, whet if I was? I was sit
ting back there talking to Jim and
that girl cleric That may be a crime
ia your eyes, but that's what I was
dome."
Jim, Miry Faith kaew, was the
proprietor of the store. She had not
heard his voice as she stood ia the
telephone booth, but that did net
prove that he had not been there,
and she wanted ta better that he
bad been there. She wanted so des
perately to believe that nothing was
wrong' that Kim had no interest in
that pretty blond sjrL

him.

brows. "I've been working hard
lately, Mary Faith, aad you kaow it
I haven't bothered you with aB the
details. I thought, if I told you that
I had to go out and stay late occa
sionally, you'd understand. I aever
dreamed that you were torturing
yourself tike this."
But I was," she blurted out
"Kim, how could I help it, whea I
saw you smiling; at that giri that
night when we were in the drug
store? And lately yovvc been go
ing out every night aad staying so
late" She was crying now, aad
her fee was drawn aad white.
"Kim, I shouldn't go to pieces like
this." She knew that he hated to see
her cry. He was looking at her with
an expression of actual dislike ia his
eyes. "But I can't help crying. If
you only kaew bow sick the baby's
been tonight end you weren't here
aad, Kim. I've beea so jealous aad
nahippy the last month or so."
"I don't see why you should be
jealous," he said.
"Any wosnaa who loves a man is
jealous whea he seems to be inter
ested hi some other woman. Of
course, I know you love me and the
baby
-WeTL them, what are you having
hysterics about?" He spoke briefly
sod brutally. Then he went oa in
that sam hard, angry voice. 'New,
let sac tell you sometbJas, Mary
Faith. If you'd cut out the grief
aad meet me at the door with e

have to worry about me and other

Eke a shadow all the time, it's your
own fault! You hadn't figured it out
that way, had you?"
He picked up his hat end weat
out The door slammed behind hhu.
Mary Faith stood where he had left
her, wringing her hands ia genuine
psia at the unfairness of the things
he had just said to her. She kaew
that they were unfair and untrue,
aad yet she felt that somehow or
other she had failed him. It wss her
job to hold him, and she had failed.
She knew that what he demanded
from life was gayety and good cheer,
aad that whea be didn't get what he
wanted at home, he looked else
where. "But how could I laugh whea the
baby was sick?" Mary Faith went
oa thinking, aad the more she
thought the more angry she became.
"And how could I smile whea Kim
came home after aa erening with
that giri tmfle and pretend that I
didn't know where he'd been?"
But surely there must be men who
didn't look for amusement and love
making an of the time. There must
be husbands who shared the burden
of illness and anxiety with their
wives. Men who realized that mar
riage and children and home-making
areat all "beer and skittles," as Un.
Puckett would probably have ex
pressed it
Kim was like a spoiled boy, Mary
Faith decided. There was no use ia
talking to him; the thing to do was
te stand by and wait for him to grow
up.
He did not come home that night
The next tnonuag she telephoned
the office. Mr. Farrell had ram i
a few minutes ago, the telephooe girl
tola aer, but he bad gone out agaia.
He was safe then.
"Safe aad u!kiag- said Mary
Faith to herself. She woadered
where he had speat the nixht aad
decided that ia all probability he had
gone down to wa with Jack Maldoa.
