A Man Who . . .
THE Albany Democrat-Herald labors to call for a new deal
on the governorship, as it takes nte of Gov. Meier mak
ing a tour of the provinces as a manifest bid for another
term. After noting that the executive is thus stealing a march
on "his one-time chief lieutenant and present arch-enemy,
Kufus HolmarT, and edging Jus ambitious utility bloodhound,
C. M. Thomas, out of the limelight, the Democrat-Herald
says bluntly:
This newspaper is not interested in any of these candidacies.
It has grown tired of Oregon's gubernatorial campaigns, with
their appeals to ignorance, prejudice and passion; with their
. attempts to array class against class and to win the support of
the groups that have the biggest rotes. It has become weary of
the lack--of constructive leadership that has followed in the wake
of these opportunistic appeals. It is looking forward hopefully
to a time when some man. either Republican or Democrat, will
. come forward with a constructive policy of state government
that will pull the state out of the quagmire of fake programs
d political heresies in which it has well-nigh foundered.
Oregon needs' a governor who will not stoop to the oppor- -tanlsm
of the moment but who will champion a well-rounded
platform conducive to ttre state's interests instead of his own
political fortunes.
. The D-H then proceeds to recite: "Oregon needs a
governor who . . ." in seven paragraphs. Usually such a per
oration leads up to mention of a candidate's name; but the
D-H leaves the gaping populace aghast when it concludes:
' Will a candidate who possesses these Qualifications, please
step forward? Let's put an end to impotency. Let us seek &
rear leader and rally behind him. -It must be that or a contin
, ued inability of the state to function.
. ,Ecee homo" all right; but who is he and where is he?
There willbe numerous individuals to step forward and
claim they fit the specifications. Among observers there is a
growing inclination to the opinion that the next governor's
name will begin with Martin or Carson; seeing the set of
the new deal tides at this writing.
Special Session in Sight
IF the decision of the lower court in the truck case is sus
tained by the supreme court another reason will be add
ed for the holding of a special session of the legislature.
Comment on the decision of Judge Lewelling may properly
be suspended until the higher court has made its ruling. But
to absolve contract carriers from all obligation to the state
save license fees and gas tax would play havoc with the mo
tor carrier lines and would deprive the highway department
of revenues which are sreatlv needed. Truck owners oro-
fess their willingness to bear
onable; though the dispute starts on what reasonable
charges are; -
It will be imperative to hold a special session of the
legislature to enact liquor control laws effective on the re
peal of the 18th amendment. Conditions now are chaotic in
the interval between prohibition and state control. Bootleg
ging flourishes with impunity. Drunkenness is more open
and frequent. The governor's liquor commission will have
a report ready before long which should serve as a basis for
legislative deliberation.
Nothing much may (be done by a special legislature on
the tax question, except to restore penalty for delinquency
on tax payments and increase the interest rate. The state
has voted in rejecting the sales tax to cling to the property
tax with its supplements of inheritance, income and intangi
bles taxes.' The only thing left for the legislature to do is to
put the squeeze on so the property taxes will be paid more
promptly.
1 A special session by .next January is almost a foregone
conclusion.
Five Month School at Eugene

J. teachers for five months only. Extension will be de

Headaches Ahead .
THE politicofixits who enroll under the banner of the
: league for independent political action will hold a meet
ing in Chicago September 2nd and 3rd. Since the president
has taken over most of the ideas of the brain trusters who
makeup the principal following of the league, the only
excuse for the convention, as we see it, is to see the world's
fair or else call on Charley Dawes and gloat over his set
down as a political and financial figure.
However the invitations go out to "representatives of
labor, farmer, unemployed, white collar, professional, vet
erans' and progressive political groups"; and there ought to
be enough bellyaches in that line-up to give the professors a
fresh start. But it takes, people with sour dispositions to
keep the world stirred upl What a life it would be if every
body voted the republican ticket.
" . The best story of the summer was the Eugene Register-Guard
story on the avalanche on South Sister. It . was a splendid piece of

of Rasputin is
based on tno fact

Among the let

' i am confident that this girl is not
afflicted with this disease. I say this
without hesitancy because hemophilia
rarely occurs In females. It Is a
hereditary disease transmitted by the

offspring.

disease is susceptible to bleeding,
even to severe hemorrhage. One at

The bleeding may begin with a
-imple blow or Injury, such as a
scratch, a fall or a push. The dis
ease may be present for many years
and accidentally be discovered by the
bleeding after a slight abrasion, cut,
extraction of a tooth, or the removal
of tonsils. In these cases the bleed
ing is sudden, unexpected and severe.
Coagulation 'Test
When the tendency la unsuspected
and the subject has a minor opera
tion such as the removal of tonsils
and adenoids, the sufferer may bleed
to death. Within recent years this
danger has been minimized by the
routine use of a special examination
called the "bleeding and coagulation
time test". This Is used In suspected
cases of hemophilia and en all chil
dren admitted to a hospital for op
eration. The cause of hemophilia has never
been discovered. Much research
work has been conducted all over the
world in an effort to solve this prob
lem. Within recent years the dis
ease has assumed less dangerous sig
nificance, because of Its early recog

(Continuing from yesterday:)
Alanson Beers, Joseph Gale and
David Hill were with the same
vote, of one following; made the
first executive committee of the
provisional government, and that
organization took over or rather
continued the first provisional
government established at the Lee
mission Feb. 18, 1841.
Up to that time, the laws of
New York had -been followed.
Thereafter, in matters not cover
ed by the "constitution" Just
adopted, the laws , of the territory
of Iowa were taken as effective.
H
Alanson Beers, member of the
first executive committee, was a
lay member of the Jason Lee mis
sion, enlisted as a- blacksmith In
Connecticut and coming with his
wife and three children by way
of Cape Horn, arriving In May,
1937. He was on the tint board
of trustees of the Oregon Insti

Davd Hill was of the settler
class. Besides being on the legis
lative oommittee that framed the
constitution," and on the first
executive committee, he was elect
ed a member of the legislative
committee (legislature) of nine
members in 1844, from Taualatln
county, and reelected in 1845, the
number Increased by this time to
13. He was on the ways and
means committee of the 1844 leg
islature, and on the one memorial
izing congress in the 1845 ses
sion. In 1848 he was made the
first U. S. postmaster at Oregon
City, the only other office then es
tablished being the one at Astoria,
where John M. Shirely was made
postmaster. The rate on letters to
the east was then 40c. Hill was
also a member, from Tualatin
county, of the last provisional
government legislature of 1848-9,
and of the first territorial legis
lature, of 1849, having a seat in
the lower branch, or house, of the

In his annual address at the June
15, 1880, meeting of the Oregon
Pioneer, association, made extend
ed reference to Joseph Gale, Ex
cerpts follow:
"There are some men now with
in the sound of my voice who re
sided In . Oregon -when all of the
imports and Exports by the mouth
of the Columbia river, aside from
the business of the Hudson's Bay
company, did not amount to 91,
000 per annum. We have lived to
see the exports alone of last year
amount to the approximate sum of
ten minions, and -there are men
listening to. me who will see our
great inland empire developed,'
and when the commerce of the
mouth of the Columbia and the
straits of Joan do Fuca wOl
amount to 1200,000,000 per an
num. "It Is ... my purpose to speak
briefly of the inception of our ex
ternal and internal commerce, as
inaugurated by the efforts of the
early pioneers. The grand results
up to 1880 are before you. Let as
compare them with their humble
origin while we may still, with
reference to the future, regard
them as in their infancy.
eflPrtT years ago the few Amer
ican citizens in Oregon were iso
lated from the o a t s I d e world.
Some adventurous and enterpris
ing persons conceived the idea of
building a vessel of sufficient ca
pacity to cross the Columbia river
bar and navigate the ocean. Those
persons were mostly old Rocky
mountain beaver trappers and
sailors who bad drifted like waifs
to the Willamette valley.
Their names were Joseph Gale,
John Cannon, Ralph Kilborne,
Pleasant Armstrong, Henry
Woods, George Davis and Jacob
Green. Felix Hathaway was em
ployed as master ship carpenter,
and Thomas Hubbard and J. L.
Parrlsh did, the blacksmith work.
In the latter part of the summer
of 1840, there was laid the keel
of the schooner Star of Oregon,
upon the east side of Swan Island,
near the Junction of the Willam
ette and Columbia rivers. .
"The -representatives of the
Hudson's Bay company, either
dreading commercial competition,
or doubtful about their pay, at
first refused to furnish any sup
plies. . But, through the earnest
representation of Capt. Wilkes
then here in command of the
American exploring squadron, and
who offered to become responsible
for the payment Dr. McLoughlln
furnished all suh necessary ar
ticles as were in store at Fort
Vancoaver; ';'"-
"On the 9th of. May, 1841, the
schooner was launched. She had
only been planked up to the water
ways, and In that condition was
worked op to the falls of the Wil
lamette. 'j :
"Owing to destitution of means
and scarcity of provisions, the en
terprising ship builders were com
pelled to suspend work upon their
vessel until May, 1842. On the
25 th of August the vessel was
completed and the crew went on
board at. The FaUs (Oregon City.)
They , consisted of the following
persons : -' - Joseph Gale, ea ptain :
John 'Cannon, Pleasant Arm
strong. Ralph Kilboarne. Jacob
Green and one Indian boy 10 years
old. There was bat one passenger,
a Mf. Piffenhauser. Capt, Wilkes
furnished the shipbuilders with an
anchor, hawser. nautical instru
ments, a flag and a clearance.

"We can't allow 70a to get mixed
up. In this. Miss Laneska," he said
quietly and politely.
Leni, with her whole world In
ruins, pot a smile en her lips. The
smile had nothing whatever to do
with what was occurring in her
heart.
Her weaker inner self was reeV
tng from the blow. Under the smile
her brilliant white teeth were
clenched. But she did not speak.
She sat entirely motionless, .her
hands clasped around her soft silk
en knees, her eyes misted.
"Cant yon see, darling, that this
is going to be a terrible scandal!
asked Wing ate fatuously. "If any
of it rubs off on you it will be posi
tively ruinous. Absolutely! I would
n't dream of letting yon blight your
career. Yon mean too much to the
screen far too much to your pub-l
lid-
Ton fool, you fool, yon fool I Leni
wanted to cry aloud. Cant yon un
derstand, yon idiot, that your talk
of admiration and the screen and
the public is nothing but stifling
smoke rising from the funeral pyre
of my dead ambitions? Do yon
think you can say anything with
that loose, funny - looking mouth
that could be important to me or
to Lucky CavanaughT
Yet, ' strength and power was
coming back to her. From where,
Heaven alone knew. It poured into.
the vacuum of her breast, gathered
into a deep and expanding pool of
vibrating energy that- her heart
could take hold of and pump
through every artery of her body,
"Don't, worry about it, please,
Ned," said the smiling shell of her
self. "Everything will turn out ail
right."
"That'a the spirit!" cried Win-
gate.
Gerstenfleld suddenly was ignor
ing Leni. He picked up the blue
covered contract from the table,
folded it and restored it to the en
velope.
"Under the circumstances," he
said aridly, ,"we may not be Justi
fied in offering this contract to
Miss Laneska. IU have to take it
up with the company."
Leni felt she knew what he was
thinking. The value of a motion
picture star varied almost from dsy
to day. A breath of scandal reacted
directly upon the box office. No
other business on earth was like
this.
"It doesn't matter at all about
the contract," she said to Gersten
fleld. "I wasn't going to sign it
anyway."
He did not even turn his' head to
look at her. The commanding power
of his eyes drew to a focus that
centered upon Ned Wingate.
"Get out!"
Wingate twisted his head with a
bird-like motion as though he had
not heard aright. "How's that?"
"Get out. I want to talk to Miss
Laneska alone. . . ."
Wingate s long lips gave a twitch
of embarrassment. He was a vain
man and would have found it much
easier if Gerstenfleld had troubled
to be just a little polite. As.it was,
he tried to pass it off as a bit of a
joke.

"Right-ot Bat if she talks yon

loWr don t blame me!
His effort at lightness thudded tolyoa is you've jeunped the track and
the floor. With a bow to Leni and
a smile which meant to "be humor

Disappointment just as the sun
touched the western horizon.
"That night there arose a ter
rific storm that lasted for 38
hours, daring which Capt. Gale,
who was the only experienced
sailor on board, never left the
helm. The little Star behaved
beautifully in the storm, and after
a voyage of five days anchored in
the foreign port of Yerba Buena,
as San Francisco was then called."

"Nothing of the kind," Gersten
fleld tossed negligently, over his
rshoulder. "Just keep your mouth
shut?
As soon as Leni was alone tn
the room with Gerstenfield a name
less tension increased perceptibly.
He took a step forward. Even be
fore lie spoke the dntt lights In his
eyes began to glow.
"Now were atone." said cool
ly, "well cat oat the fooliaknesa."
.Tm sorry Urere s really noth
ing for us to talk about, Mr Ger

my own private affair. It does not
concern the studio in the least."
Nevertheless, something was dis
concerting her. A mental flow from
Gerstenfield kept pressing In on
Leni's senses.
"Why do yon think I stayed here
to talk to ?oa?
"I dont know," said Leni frankly.
"It's not on account of your eon-

What then?"
Herman Gerstenfield took a step
closer. There was nothing about
Mm of charm or good looks. An
inconspicuous man with a tired
face and dry, neglected hair on an
ordinary head. A man to pass un

dark and elintine eyes..

Leni stood up straight ana xacea
him.
"Whatever you say has nothing

"Dont fool yourself," Gersten

eyes. "I know more about yon than
you knew about yourself. Whether
you realize it or not, you and I are

Gerstenfleld 'a words hit hard.
They stung her with surprise. She

standing directly in front of her and
she had the sensation that she was
close to a bare wire heavily charged
with electricity.
"You might as well get ready to
wake up!" he declared, a pressure
in his voice. ,
The faint smile still clung to her
lips, but there was no amusement
behind it.
"Please will you leave me
alone?"
She tried to speak with poise but
there was a gulp in her throat.
Every nerve ceil was alert with vi

Gerstenfield had unleashed
thing within himself that had
changed a cold.' mathematical ma
chine into- a relentless- and pulsat
ing male animal whose newly-re
vealed personality swept around
Leni alld threatened every moment
to seize command of everything.
"If I saw yoa stumbling Into a
fatal accident, I'd snatch yon back,"
Gerstenfield said.
His attitude, the flash of his eyes.
the snap of his voice, bordered upon
the contemptuous. His face had
grown paler, his body appeared to
have no temperature at all but Leal
had the distinct Impression that a
whits heat seethed inside him.
"Yoa are a woman and there
fore are not always in sound mind.
Your imagination runs away with
you. For a woman like yoo, life is
going to be miserable unless yoa
stay where yoa belong." .
Leni made a forced effort to
combat him. Deliberately she lifted
her eyebrows, an effort at skepti
cism. "Are yon, by any chance, trying
to save me from myself?" she in
quired with a hauteur that shook a
little.
"There's no one else to save you
from, except yourself." shot back
Gerstenfield. "You have beauty, tal
ent maybe genins, but no brain.
Of yourself you can do nothing. It
requires the combined resources of
the fourth largest industry to make
a place in which- yoa can function.
Before you got into pictures, what
kind, of a life did yoa lead?"
Leni could tell from the tingling
in her temples that some of the
color was leaving her face. This
man, she thought, has found out
somehow about my past. It gave
her a feeling of cold indeeeney and
she wrapped herself in a quick lie.
"I lived quite comfortably at
home." she said.
Gerstenfield scorched her with
his eyes and she turned her gaze
away.
"Come be honest! That's not
true, is it?"
Without lifting her fids she an
swered him. "No."
"I knew it was a lie. How? I can
not tell yoo: I just know. I sense
those things. There was Something
not pretty. You were out on your
own you bucked the game without
our vast machinery behind you. It
was an awful business. There's
only one place on earth for yoa
one island of safety. The pictures!"
Leni would have got up and left
the room. The instinct to escape,
for flight, awakened and she rose
to her feet
"What," she asked in a thin
voice, "does all this get us?"
Gerstenfield looked at her and
put a hand on her shoulder. It was
the first time he had ever touched
her. They had never even shaken
hands. He pushed her downward,
backward into a chair, gently yet
definitely.
"Sit there and listen," spoke Ger
stenfield. "If you walk out on me
yoaH walk .straight back into your
past. I'm telling yoa and I know."
But there was still fight left in
her. "Only fools know everything,"
she retorted.
"I know more about pictures and
picture people than anybody else in
the worid," said Gerstenfield.
He might have been elating that
two and two make four, so lacking
was egotism in his voice.
