Will the Ice Hold? ! mHE Booth-Kelly lumber mill at SDrinrfield. one of the X largest interior mills; in western- Oregon, commenced op erations Monday after a two years; shutdown. The event was made theo ecasion of a community celebration at bpnngiieldV as well it deserved to be, considering the im portance of its running to the business life of the town and of the county. Logging operations are in progress at Wend ling, back in the hills, to supply logs for the mill. This is asample of - what is in progress all over the lumber country. -Quite: according "to 'pattern is business coming back. One by one blast furnaces are blown in. One by one railway shops go back on lull time. One. by. one textile mills start night runs. So with the lumber mills. We have seen grass, growing in the docks of big mills on Grays Harbor, which a few months earlier and some time later were scenes of great activity. Lumbermen are naturally however holding their breath. Prices have advanced. Orders received are still in excess of production. The order file for the week e n d i n g July 1 amounted to 181 million board feet, which broke all records : for 1933, 1932 and with one exception,. for 1931. This burst of buying is to a large degree speculative ; stocks are going into yards rather than into construction. Will the fresh ice .of higher prices and better demand hold t We are inclined to think that it will, though perhaps not at feverish E levels There may be a lull when the new industrial code goes into effect. ' ! !i There is however a great potential market for lumber, especially in the farm zone. .With better conditions in Agri culture lumber will be in great demand for farm structures of all kinds, which have deteriorated rapidly in the last de cade. Residential building will also revive though not on the scale of some of the post-war years! Much may be accom plished by the adoption of a code for the industry to hold down production to actual consumption levels, preventing the gluts which have' ruined prices and preventing expan sion of plant capacity in advance of needs. If that can be accomplished the present "thin ice" wilL thicken until it can sustain the lumber industry and through it the economic life of the great northwest, on a permanently profitable basis. :"' ;: ; Wheat Bounty Under Allotment Plan TEN' days ago at a wheat meeting in Spokane, the func tioning of the government domestic allotment plan with reference to wheat was explained by Dr. M. L. Wilson, for merly of Montana state college, now with the federal de partment of agriculture, and one of the authors of the de vice. The plan is briefly one to grant a subsidy to the wheat-grower Jn return foriis agreement to reduce acreage and cut down production. The purpose is to bring this coun try down to a consumption basis on wheat so it will not have its domestic price lowered to meet world levels. ; The bounty which will be paid direct to the wheat grow ers will be 30 cents on the 1933 crop Of this 20 cents will be naid this fall and 10 cents next spring: but only on con dition that the grower agree to reduce his average wheafl acreage of the last few years by 20 for the crop years ol 1934 and 1935. County committees or managers will be ap . pointed to see that the agreements are lived up to. The acreage not devoted to wheat may be ; used for ' growing other crops such as will not complicate matters otherwise; and the contracts will state the crops which are forbidden to be grown. ! ' It is the privilege of the wheat grower to sign up or not as he elects. If heroes he gets the 30 cent bounty on this year's crop ; and a similar bounty for the next two years which will bring the wheat price back to the 1909 1914 buying level." If the price automatically goes there,, of course there would be no bounty. On the other hand if a large production next year because of better climatic con ditions would, depress wheat prices, the. bounty would be larger, ' ''. The farmer can figure out for himself how he will be nffprtprf. The wav nature has interfered this year the al lotment plan la already made practically unnecessary. But ' th crrnwpr mflv not feel like rambling on the drouth and freeze which have reduced wheat production in this county to the levels of thirty years ago. Committees will be desig nated in each county to carry forward the organization ' work. PTnlflinintr to individual farmers iust what the re quirements and what the benefits are. The plan; is a de rtartttre ? it in art experiment. It does do this however, it does put real money in the farmer's hands, instead of in the hands of speculators. . - , . Protecting River Lands A LONG our rivers are the choicest farm lands. Builtup J bv alluvial denosit dvrrine the passing centuries, these lands are highly productive. They are subject however to destruction by their father, the river. In the season of flood th rivpf works with its ten thousand chisels to cut away hank.' break throucrh or seerj under dykes, to spread its Waters over the cultivated area reclaimed by thetoil of man. .. ' - . , . " ':' . This year flood damages were serious, particularly on the lower Columbia. The damage on the Willamette above the falls is chiefly from erosion of the banks and washing ; away rich farm soil into the stream rather than irpm over ' flow. But on the lower Willamette and f Columbia rivers. i f dykes ihis year proved in many places insecure, and floods occurred at Sauvie's island, Fuget island, at Kelso, wood land and other ulaces. : ... . i , Land owners along the water courses are seeking gov ernment aid in flood control. In this northwestern country most of the protection! work has been dona by drainage dis tricts at cost, to the owners of the lands; whereas in other parts of the country the government has done much work in levee building. Northwestern land owners are now tasking that men in some of the conservation camps be assigned to work in repairing and strengthening the dykes. The Colum . bia is an interstate stream, whose flood strength the indi vidual 4and-owners seem helpless to combat. In : addition there is complaint along the rivers that the wing dams built .by. the government to aid navigation have caused soil wash ing on the dykes in the eddy below the jetties. 4 Washington is far off from Kelso and Clatskanie and Puget island. Engineering offices of the government here . are seldom able to modify policies adopted at the national '.is . j. - : "I"- -i :- . - ' ' ... - . v 'A.

Dr. Copeland A RECENT announcement of the Maternity Canter Association cf New York tells of a- campaign to make motherhood sate. This admirable so ciety la partfca- arly intareaiad In the welfare ot expectant moth ers, it alms to supply Important Information regarding- medical -care,' dt at ad rest, so essential tor normal re sults and safety. I hop averyone 111 co-eperata vritn this worthy organization. No one will deny that moth erhood has been made safer by Improved methods ef surgery, mechanical methods, anes thesia and other health saving meas ures. The. Introduction of the so called -prenatal care," medical at tention given the expectant moth er before confinement, has accom plished gratifying results. It is a well established fact that the ease of a confinement Is usually determined by the general care and medical at tention given before the birth of the baby. Treatment Improved When I began the practice of med icine, little consideration was given to the early care of the expectant mother. In fact, in many instances, the physician was not called until the very last moment, or to give ad vice If some complication developed. Today, with - periodic visits to the doctor. X-ray examinations and re peated laboratory tests, dangerous complications 'are rarely encountered. This prenatal care has helped to reduce the high and frightful mor tality rate of former years. It en ables the physician to- discover dan ger signals and in most instances to prevent serious accidents. Abnormal findings give the physician ample time to take the necessary precau tions against complications. The physician watches the patient's prog ress, makes the necessary measure ments, outlines the diet, exercise and clothing, and uses other measures that Insure the best of health for the mother and expected child. Early Care Essential It is only when these simple pro cedures are overlooked or neglected that . the , unforeseen calamities of pregnancy occur. Bear in mind that many of the serious complications of motherhood can be prevented. Every prospective mother should receive this care. Medical attention during the prenatal period is just as .important as it is after the birth ot the child. Indeed It is imperative. If it is Impossible to engage the services of a good private physician. i aavise the expectant mother to con suit with the local health apthorttles or visit a maternity clinic where this advice and care win be given.

Miss Pipes spoke of the facsim ile of the marriage contract of McKinlay and Julia. Ogden in the September, 1909, number of the Oregon Historical Quarterly. It was furnished by T. Q. Elli ott, the well known Walla Walla historian, who had secured a pho tograph of the original. It read: V "In the presence of the under signed witnesses, I, Archibald Mc Kinlay, a clerk in the service ot the Honorable Hudson's Bay com pany, late of Scotland, and now residing at Fort Vancouver, Co lumbia Elver, do voluntarily and of my own tree will and assent. take Sarah Julia Ogden, daughter of Peter Skene Ogden, to be my lawful wife; and the said Sarah Julia Ogden, also voluntarily and of her own free will and accord, takes the said Archibald McKin lay. to be her lawful husband.

That was the regular practice. In that way, the chiefs ot the ancient trading con cern kept track of the relations of their servants with the people among whom they did business, and it was their custom to see that such marriage engagements were faithfully carried out. This .was important, for many of them were more or less mar riages of convenience with daugh ters or near relatives of powerful Indian chiefs; whose friendly feel ings they were interested In main taining.

Peter Skene Ogden was a hlah character in early Oregon history, as 'readers ot this column will re call. He was a son of Chief Justice Ogden of Quebec, Canada. His fa ther had been a loyalist in ore- revolutionary times, in New York. and had emigrated to Canada, as many of his class did. Peter Skene, the son, was sunoosed to become a lawyer. But for various reasons he chose the career that led him into the wilds. One ot the reasons was his squeaky, effem inate voice. . As n young man, he came In the employ of the John Jacob Antnr party at Astoria, and weni with tne Northwest company when the Interests of that ambitions Amer ican passed to his Canadian ri vals, and thence to the Hudson's nay company when the North westers were merged In 1821 with tne ancient concern under the name of the former. " Ogden long led tranninar hrfr. ades to the interior and was active in-establishing posts nd trade treaties with the Indians. He dis covered jhe Ogden river and Fremont renamed It the Hum. boldt. His name became that of vgnen, Utah, j He was the man sent , to ran. som the white captives, about so. mostly women and children, after the Whitman I massacre in 184T. That exploit alone would entitle his -name to a high place in Ore gon nistory.
