fiOV. MEIER has called for
v irom the state board of
lated move which would have come more appropriately at
thehe.ginningr of his administration when he was flush with
a "new deal". Starr hangs over as a politician from the
Patterson regime. We have credited him with a sincere
interest in education, combined with Dolitical dark-room
methods.; There should be no particular regret over his pas
sing, provided some stronger man is named as his successor.

win pouxics aajourn m nigner education witn tne re
moval of Starr? This may mark the end, r it may mark
the beginning. For interwoven with the attack on Starr is
. the vendetta against Chancellor Kerr. The new drive will be
made to force Dr. Kerr out. Or the chancellor may quit in
disgust and despair. In other words politics in higher edu
cation may now be augmented instead of adjourned.
This seems to us an excellent time to reserve judgment
and hold tempers. Oregon's higher educational system is
on a powder keg. If some one lights the fuse the system may
be blown up. Hotheads at Eugene or Corvallis may precip
itate trouble which will increase the dissension and renew
the strife of a year ago. The state's nerves are still frayed
over past irritations?
The audit matter was merely an incident, some "overt
act" which the governor has waited for to get rid of Starr.
. The implications are of course more far-reaching and involve
the future of the present administrative organization includ
ing the state board itself. Our word to the people is to main
tain their composure and await developments.
California Juries Strike Hard-
FTlHOSE who have been following the latest California sen-
JLsations are familiar with
trials, the first, m which
$75,000 for stealing a man's
the second, where David Lamson was convicted of murder
of his wife with the death penalty attached to the jury's ver
dict. These are stiff jolts, showing that the California juries
are able to go the whole road when they make ud their minds.
In both cases, there appeared,
lack of evidence to justify such
paper readers cannot very well be a jury, because though
they read every word of evidence, they do not get to study
the manner of the witnesses or
respecting xheir attitude on the stand.
Miss Windsor, if the verdict is upheld, will have to pay
a pretty penny because she accepted attentions from a play
boy who, was away from home. The man's affections seem
-too vagrant, because he soon tired of Miss Windsor. Perhaps
she should sue someone else now; and then tell the ex-wife
that she will pay as she is paid, the same as the French on
war debts and reparations. The man in the case, however,
would appear to be the man who should do the paying. Per
haps his former wife is sticking him for alimony, too.
Accepting as correct the jury's verdict in the Lamson
case, it becomes a genuinely interesting psychological study.
Granted the man had lost his affection for his wife and was
enamoured of another, why in this day and age, would he
proceed to kill her? All he would need to do would' be to
walk out and get a divorce, or let her get a divorce. That
wouldn't "have been nearly so messy as a murder. If his
crime was committed in a fit of passion, then one would
expect a show of deep remorse. Students of human nature
and of psychology should find a great deal of material for
further study irt this case, regardless of the final outcome.
Butane for Farm Fuel
FARMERS in California are using butane which is a
natural gas, for power for farm implements. The chem
ical formula, of butane is C4H10. Some of the lighter hy
drocarbons are taken off of natural gas, then the butane gas
with some propane is liquefied and handled thereafter in
tanks. The liquid gas is carried in tanks on tractors and
flows into the carburetor and
same as gasoline or distillate.
Butane has been used for
ing.. It is now used as source of gas supply for. cities like
The Dalles and Cottage Grove which have' no gas works. The
butane is shipped there in tank cars. In recent week3 butane
. has come into use for tractors,
used for orchard heating. ' -". .
i The advantage of butane, according to an article by John
E. Pickett in the Pacific Rural Press, is its cheapness, as it!
sells for 3tt cents a gallon. That is the California price,
where the source of supply is close at hand. Butane is said
to work well, without carbon residue and without diluting
the oil in the crankcase.
- A farmer at Strathmore, Cal. has fixed up a 1000-gallon
tank on a truck and drives over to the Kettleman hills to fill
his tank, which supplies a 50-gallon tank on his tractor. He
reports he uses 3 gal. of butane per hour on his 35 tractor,
as against 4 gal. of gasoline, so estimates his saving at 55
cents an hour.
Butane requires spark ignition, and so will not work in
a diesel engine. The extent of its use will of course depend
on the price and the facilities for distrbution. Since butane
it controlled by the oil companies which handle the compet
. itive fuels, oil, distillate and gasoline, they will control its
consumption very largely by the price they put on it It
, does suggest possibilities however In the direction of cheaper
power fuels for farming. . v

HEALTH
v Royal S. Copeland. M.D.
MANY OF MY reader will agree
with me that a corn la an annoying
and sometimes really distressing af
fliction. It is one of the most com
mon ailments of
modern civiliza
tion. It is prob
able that our remote-
forefathers
rarely, tt ever,
had this trouble.
In spits of the
misery caused by
a corn, and ths
constant remind
er of its pres
ence, I venture
to say that no
other disturb
ance ef the hu
man body is
more neglected.
If given any
Dr. Copelnni
treatment It Is usually some homo
remedy or old-fashioned procedure.
The application of a corn salve, par
ing the corn, and other household
measures are not curative, although
they may give temporary relief.
These methods sometimes lead to
serious Inflammation of the foot.
Severe- blood palsoniBg may result
from the careless handling and home
treatment of a corn.
Though a corn may form on any
portion of the Skin. It usually In
volves one ef the toes. Frequently
tt Is duo to the wearing of Improp
erly fitted shoes. They press upon
ths toes and cause Irritation.
A corn Is really nothing more than
thickened akin that has resulted
from long continued Irritation. At
times ths corn la extremely painful,
tender to the touch and considerably
Inflamed.
RemoTal ef Cera and Sac
The corn Is surrounded by a see.
Unless this Is temoved with the corn,
the condition cannot be cured. Tt
will be seen, then, why local appli
cations are of so little value In overcoming-
this painful condition.
A recent article la the Journal ef
the American Medical association
states that too little attention U paid
to this affliction. It points out that
as I have told you. complete cure Is
only possible by ths thorough re
moval of the corn and sac by a aim,
pie surgical operation. The oper
ation need causa no alarm or hesi
tancy on the part of the sufferer. It
Is dons under local anesthesia and
can be performed In the surgeon'
office. When the com and see are
completely removed It la seldom that
the affliction returns. .

BITS for BREAKFAST

First six ascents of
Mount Jefferson retold:
(Continuing from Sunday: )
Next in order comes a news item,
dated Detroit, Oregon, and-printed
in The Statesman of Sunday,
July 21', 1897, following:
"The party of mountain-climbers
consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Epb
Moores, Miss M u s a Geer, Miss
Helen Hibbard, Pearl Blackerby
and Chas. Roblin. of Salem, ar
rived in Detroit Monday evening,
all covered with glory from their
trip to the top of Mt. Jefferson.
They succeeded in reaching the
very pinnacle, some 200 feet above
where the box had been left. They
carried the box to the extreme
summit, where they left it, and
also planted a flag. They made
the ascent on June 14th, and are
the first persons who have ever
reached the highest point of the
mountain."
That was the second ascent
the third being the one so vividly
described by Judge Burnett.
"Eph" Moores of the second party
was E. T. Moores, afterward coun-.
ty school superintendent, but Mr.
and Mrs. Moores did not reach the
pinnacle the reason will appear
further along in this series.
Is
The fourth ascent of Mt. Jef
ferson (to the pinnacle) was mads
by Sherman Barnham on Sep
tember 24. 1101.
e
The fifth ascent (north side)
was made in August, 1803 by S.
S. Mohler of Oregon City, alone,
a 'm
The sixth ascent (Lorth side)
was made early in August. It 08,
by Mr. Mohler and I. J. Hicks of
Portland. , .
The Portland Mazama of March,
1907, contained an account of the
last named exploit. A eopy of this
magazine has been ftrnlshed to
the writer by Ray L. Farmer of
Salem. Brief excerpts follow:
Mohler and Hicks left Oregon
City toward the end of Jnly.
1908; walked to the mountain
by way of-Wllholt Springs. Table
Rock and Clackamas Hot Springs.
Climbing up into Hanging valley
on the north side of Mt Jeffer
son, they had a wonderful view.
They had passed a practically un
explored wilderness in its prime
val beauty; had seen fresh tracks
to the number Indicating at least
1000 deer in those haunts; from
a height somewhat above S000
feet-they viewed 40 lakes.,
' The ascent from the north
proved difficult; .mostly ' steep
rock work; circling around steep
cliffs; pulling themselves up with
hands and feet;, crawling on
hands and knees; climbing
around rock slides; hoisting one
another to a rock shelf; using
ropes in one place; over snow
a half mile; encountering Jagged
rock slides; getting over a gla
cier and, worst of all, through
crumbling rock, breaking off at
a touch. At the side of a rock
runway, they looked down oa
Pamelia lake, almost a sheer 8,
000 feet below more than a per
pendicular . mile. They surmount
ed further up a ridge add" looked
straight down on a rock-slide
several hundred feet below,
where, .had they been struck by
a possible avalanche, they -would
have been carried to their 'death.
asVjl
Thence, some hundreds of feet
further, after fire hours, they
ate their well earned lunch, and
continued over loose rock to the
summit of the mountain, except
for the sharp pinnacle that sur
rounds it. This rock spire, ris
ing, according to Hicks' estimate.
400 feet, they found could be
climbed only on the north and
west sides. "On this north side."
they wrote, "it is steep, but of
fers plenty of foothold and hand
hold all the way," adding: "Its
top is barely large enough to
accommodate two or three peo
ple at one time." On one of the
many boulders they found the
small flagstaff Mr. Mohler had
planted there two years before.
This stout green stick was splint
ered to tne base, presumably by
lightning. They planted a new
flagstaff 12 feet long, with their
names and the date engraved at
its base. By 5 o'clock camo was
reached. Hicks wore soft, yield
ing tennis shoes, good for 10
hours of rock work, but hot long
er. They found the sky, line ridge
between Jefferson and Hood for
nearly 50 mUes almost as level
as a floor; opportunity for a
grand boulevard Joining the two
mountains, almost already com
plete a natural road; even tra
veled scenery sublime.
V
To the same number of the Ma
zama. Rav L. Farmer f Satm
contributed a letter. Commenting
on the first ascent of Jefferson to
the ton of the n Inn aria naV K,
E. C. Cross and himself, he said:
we nad nothing to leave on
the summit except a cartridge,
Which we shored In the rrarV nf
a large rock, and this cartridge I
understand was found a few years
ago on this rock bv Mr. Tm
Gates. This last information was
given me by Mr. Barnham.
i nave always contended that
We had On Of the moat favnrahla
seasons, and that there are seas
ons when it would be Impossible
to make the ascent. To nrova thta
a party, consisting of Mr. Edward
vvener, r. Harvey Jordan, Mr.
Kugene wmia and the writer,
were on this same trip the year
before. 1887. and that vear
(1887). in order to raach th
camp at the foot of the mountain
we walked over acres of snow that
was all the way from three to 20
feet deen. The next vear. isax
there was not a bit of snow where
the year before there had hn an
much of it.
"Ton wUl note that Mr Tinr.
nett says (Oregon Daily States
man. Aug. 8, 1897), that we are
no doubt entitled to the honor of
having made the first ascent of
the pinnacle, although not reach
ing tne mgnest peak. This may be
a little misleading, as, after hav
ing reached the top of the pin
nacle, it was Just as easy to step
to -the top of one peak as to the
other, and we certainly would not
let an opportunity like that pass
by without taking in all there was
to it . . -
"Ton will also note that it was
nine years after we made the
ascent before It waa made again,
and. during that time our state
ments were, to be plain, rather
disbelieved, but now all are will
ing, to admit It.
' "This first ascent was made by
way of the south slope. They esti
mated the distance from camp to
the base of the mountain to the
toot of the pinnacle as about three
mUes and it required fire hours'
steady work to reach that point
A bottle was found there contain

who had reached the base of the
pinnacle without being able to

CHAPTER TWELVE
Horn laughed at herself later for
having all those foolish fears for
when Tommy came home at Christ
mas he was bigger and stronger
and handsomer and braver than
ever. He actually picked her up and
hugged her and he was so big Horn
felt kind of embazraasef. aa though
he were a stranre man. He made
a big fnas over Pop and Pete and
teemed awful glad to get home;
Mom had worked all night to get
bis old room ready because Uncle
Louie hadnt left until the last min
ute and even then he had acted as
though he were being imposed
upon; and he left a lot of work be
cause he wasnt at all neat aa peo
ple might think from them white
shirts and ties he wore.
Tommy ate just aa mnch as ever,
even more, and waa full of life and
of telling them about everything
over east: and for once Pop and
Uncle Louie, who still came in for
a rood many meals, kept snll and
let him talk although Horn knew
they were just listening so they
could carry it all. downtown later
and repeat it Pop loafed .at the
garage, mainly, and Uncle Louie at
the city building, so they didn't
cross each other much; but Mom
could see Pop was beginning to get
sick of Uncle Louie, particularly
when he began to take all the credit
around town, for Tommy going to
college.
Why, 1 even named the boy,'
Mom heard he was telling. She
hoped that wouldn't get beck to
Poa'a ears.
The old hustle-bustle was about
the house again and Mom was kept
busy at this and that but there waa
something satisfied inside her
again; something calm and con
tented. And she drank up every
thing Tommy said about Thomdyke
and things over east He- hadnt
been to New York yet but he said
New York would be nothing.
Every day at noon, when he got
op, Mom was entranced. While he
waa eating and reading the morn
ing paper she would ask him about
this and that and he talked very
freely and told her many amaxmg
things. And when Mom went to the
store that afternoon she always
told the neighbor ladies. Mrs. Far
rell tried to edge in some things
about her Joie at State but she
dxdnt get very tar because State
was nothing new end Joie didnt do
anything: to talk about anyhow.
Of course, Mom said to MxsJ
FarreU one day, "everybody cant
play footbalL''
- "It's a good thing they cant,1
. Mrs. Johnson said, smiling at Mom
and Mrs. FarreU both. Mom wasn't
quite sure what she meant Mrs.
Johnson was two-faced, too.
But even Mrs. FarreU listened
hard when Mom told them about
the parties. Tommy waa invited to
the best homes in town and in the
papers the next day, oa the society
page, it always said, "Thomas Ran
dolph ox Thorndyke." And there
e ether Thorndyke men there

quoted; Mr. Pearce being the
third member of the party, who
halted at the base of the pinnacle,
and Mr. Farmer and K. C. Cross
the other two, who went aU the
way to the highest points.) (Mr.
Farmer added that he regarded'
the Pearce article as the "most
reliable account of this ascent")

On their way home Mrs. Johnson

that aisle every Sunday In the year.
knA outside the church when Mrs.
Johnson said hello to them. Tommy
actually bowed from his waist
down, like a German soldier In the
movies. Cousin Emmy said. Mrs.
Johnson waa real, impressed and
told it all over town; and when
she saw Mom again she told her
that the young girl all over were
just crazy about Tommys new
manners and that he treated them
just like they were on the stage.
So Mom didn't really mind little
things he corrected her on. Like
he told her not to be aaying "heUo"
to everybody.
"Nobody says hello over east
he said. "They all say 'how-do-you-do?'"
So the next time Mom came into
Butcher Brown's store and the
neighbor ladies spoke to her she
said: "How do yoa da??
They looked at her kind of funny
but nobody said anything about it
until she went out Then she saw
them all start edging together like
they did when they started to talk
about somebody who was gone,
when they couldnt hold it in any
longer.
Mom didnt care if they talked
about her for that It waa the prop.

time all of them were learning
right manners, too.
And Mom was careful, after that
and listened to all the new way of
talking Tommy had, and tried to
keep down trouble between htm
and. Pop and Uncle Louie because
they didn't take ta good manners
so easy and were set in their ways.
There was quite a row when Tom
my told the two of them not to talk
fso loud; that they could be heard
up to the corner, and that nobody
eared what either one of them
thought anyhow. Pop was fit to be
tied, then, and Uncle Louie just
grabbed his hat and overcoat and
walked out with his feelings hurt
So, when Tommy went back to
college. Mora missed him a lot
again, but she had to admit it was
more peaceful, because it was hard
to teach old dogs new tricks. She
had kind of hoped Uncle Louie was
so mad he wouldn't coma back
again to live; but Tommy had no

in in fact Mora found him there
in Tommy's room already when she
came back from the train; and he
even sulked like he had been put
out of his own heme but waa try
ing to be patient about it
Pep was mad when he saw him
back; and the two of them, having
raw tempers, were soon jawing at
each other. Mom, upstairs cleaning
up the room Tommy had left, heard
them. Then she almost had to
laugh; for Pop said: ,i
"Quit yelling like a sick cow
people can hear you all the way to
the corner."
T a or -

takes his bad manners from you."
"He might do worse and take
after you," Pop answered.
Uncle Louie took his hat and left
again but Mom left the light burn
ing in the ball and the door un
locked and, aura enough, he came
back around midnight and went
softly np to bed. Mom went to
sleep, then, glad he was ia. It
wasnt quite fair to Pop, having
him there, but then the poor fellow
waa old now and had no home and
no trade except a politician. Mom
couldnt help wondering how differ

been if he had only been a Re
publican because they always
seemed to be in office.
