In di 1 V dactic fashion it takes a pointer in hand and directs the sec retary's attention to the Bonneville dam where dirt is-com-- mencing to fly. The dam is being built by army engineers. On no other project is work under way, which proves, the school '.Jjnaster avers, that there is something terribly wrong with the I . Ickes department. v The Oregonian forgets that Bonneville was ordered by : presidential decree, that no government body passed on its ' t merits, that it was ordered chiefly as apolitical move of the t president and not because of immediate need for the work. Mr. Ickes however basks in no such public favor. He does not presume to allot millions with the waving of a wand. He has a winning smile with whith to captivate those who might ; be critics. Mr. Ickes feels responsible to the public for some S three billions of their money. He wants no, ghosts of "wooden ships" to haunt his reputation after his work is over. Conse quently he is subjecting applications to careful scrutiny, de termined that there will be no huge mistakes laid at his door. ; The Oregonian chides Mr. Ickes with proceeding in a Iei- surely manner as though there were no emergency. That is mot true. J He has been industrious to the limit of physical trength. He has had to create a new organization before any thing could be done. Army engineers hadsurveyed the Co lumbia for years. If the Oregonian thinks it is an easy task ' let it sit down and outline how to spend three billions in pub . lie works in a manner to provide the most employment and serve the txjst public purpose. It has (been said that we are in "war". Quite so, and re . calling the extravagance and mistakes of the last war, let us commend Mr. Ickes for his caution. School Districts in Distress THERE are fifty school districts in the state which are , three years behind paying their warrants. One hundred twelve districts are two years behind; 441 districts are one year behind: 890 districts are six months behind. There are 248 districts which have contracted for short er terms than eight months this year. There are 830 districts whose warrants will not be cashed at par by banks. Four hun dred ninety-two districts have their warrants discounted 10 or more. One hundred forty will not be accepted for cash equipment or teachers' board 15 or more. Discounts on warrants range from 5 to 35. Oyer $6,000,000 in unpaid warrants of school districts are ailoat, and the increase as of June, 1533, was 37 z-6 per cent ever the year preceding. These facts are supplied by Charley Howard's office. They are deplorable. They reflect not only on the adverse conditions which prevail but on the willingness of some peo ple to let their taxes slide. Here is one zone of the depression which Washington has not figured how to relieve. ; The legislature will meet in special session and Gov. Ileier in his message referred tricts as one subject for consideration. Districts cannot go on indefinitely, piling up warrant debts. Costs have now been greatly pared; The legislature tax-collecting laws. It might plemental sources of revenue for support of schools. L w.- Lo, the Poor Bootlegger 1 AD are the days of the bootlegger. Everyone seems, to be O after him; and not for his wares, but for his sins. Dries ' have condemned hira in times past ; but now the wets seem to be panning him the hardest. They are the ones who raise loud wails lest in pending legislation some loophole be left by which some bootleggers might survive. Is it taxes? then the country is warned that if the taxes are made just a little higher than some, the legger will stay in business. Is it sell ing spirits by theglass? then another group warns that un less this is done opnly the jointist will continue to flourish and the speakeasy to operate behind its swinging doors. . ; Sad, isnt it? The bootlegger and the speakeasy proprie-r-T tor lias no friends left at all. Those who have been his patrons now desert him and shout the loudest that he be harried from Jhe land. Ergo, make booze cheap and easy and frequent, and T the wicked tribe of leggers will le driven out He whose tele phone number was on many parched lips, is now discredited ou damned. . -Are these new foes of . the bootlegger new soldiers of so h briety; or. are they merely after his business and his ro - fits? 46 Students For Studies DALLAS, Nor. 2.

Copeland. MJD. MOST PERSONS are familiar with that disturbance known as "sinus disease". It Is indeed a common at flicUon. Hardly a day passes that I do not redeve an Inquiry about this disorder. D n fortunately few realize it can be prevented. It is Important to prevent it, or to begin treatment as early as pos sible. When neg lected the disease may result tn serious complica tions. Sinusitis, as its name implies, is an inflammation Dr. Copeland of the nasal si nuses. The sinuses are cavities in the bones of the bead. They are con nected with the Inside of the nose by means of small passageways. Each sinus is given a special nam. The name usually corresponds to the bone In which it Is located. For ex ample, the "ethmoidal sinus" is lo cated In the "ethmoid bone," and the "frontal sinus" is located in the "frontal bone". Cold Often Cans It- "What causes sinusiUa?" "Is it curable?" These are questions asked about this affliction. Sinusitis can usually be traced to a head cold, to coryza, influenza or some other infectious disease. The germs of the infection reach one of the sinuses where they rapidly mul tiply and set up an inflammation. The sufferer complains of severe headache, pain in the face, discharge from the nose and throat, and diffi culty in breathing through the nose. The disease soon becomes chronic. Largely because, the sinuses are in accessible to simple medications and local treatment. Then again, most victims of sinusitis neglect the dis order or rely upon patent medicines aqd ineffectual remedies. This is un fortunate because pus soon accumu lates within the sinuses and leads to poisoning ot the whole system. Dangerou Complications In many Instances neglected si nusitis may give rise to dangerous complications. Tn pus sometimes breaks through the walls of the sinuses, eventually reaching the eye, brain or the blood stream. When this occurs, expert medical attention Is essential, because continued neg lect may lead to a fatal outcome. Sinusitis and the complications of sinusitis can be prevented by Imme diate medical care of the common cold. If you contract a cold do not regard it lightly. Rest in bed end If you do not improve consult with your doctor. If sinusitis develops do not rely upon home remedies but take and follow expert advice. In a persistent case of sinusitis may be advisable to operate upon the infected sinus and drain off the pus. Of course, this must be deter mined by the physician who will be guided by the conditions. In most Instances he will advise an X-ray picture. This will deter mine the extent of the infection. The 4byIcian then decides whether aa operation Is necessary. . In - children, removal of Infected tonsils and adenoids is beneficial and prevents further trouble. Every ef fort should be made to prevent re peated attacks of sinusitis and thus escape Its undesirable complications. (CopyrioM. ISM. JC F. .

HENDRICKS- Pony express, first wire. overland stages, railroad: S (Continuing from yesterday:) 'Meantime one of our superin tendents located at Carson City, Nevada, was hiring men while an other located at Salt Lake was buying horses. The 60 men se lected for riders, at the outset. were still young but every one a splendid horseman hardened by .years of life In the open In a word, the pick of the frontier. "The wages ranged from $50 to $150 a month, the highest paid of any of our men below executive rank. The horses as sembled for the purpose were the best that money could buy, rang ing from tough California cay uses or mustangs to thorough bred stock from Iowa. The line when fully equipped comprised 190 stationmen and keepers, and 80 riders, but those who had preparations in charge labored to such good purposed that 60 days after they were set afoot It was ready for active operations.' a . "Thus far Mr. Majors. By the route to be followed the distance between St. Joseph and Sacra mento was 1950 miles, and this It was prpposed the riders of the pony express should cover In 10 days, an average of eight miles an hour from start to finish. "The amount of mail to he car ried on a trip was limited to 20 pounds, and, at first, in addition to the regular United States post age, a charge was made for each ounce or less, this charge being later reduced to $2.50 for let ters not exceeding a half ounce in weight. Each rider carried a pair of Colt's revolvers in his holster, and a Spencer rifle strapped across his back; but the latter was soon abandoned as use less and cumbersome. "His horse's equipment Includ ed saddle-bags of heavy leather with a pocket In each of Its four corners one in front and one be hind eaeh leg: of the rider. In these pockets about $ by 12 Inches in size the mail was placed, first being wrapped in oil skin to preserve It from moisture. Three of the pockets were locked at the beginning of the trip, and en route could be opened only at military posts and at Salt Lake City. Each station keeper had a key to the fourth pocket, which it was his duty to open for local mail, at the same time noting on the way-hill which formed part of its contents the rider's arrival at and depart ure from his station. "A saddle-bag leaving one end of the route was transferred from rider to rider, and from pony to pony, until it reached the other end. A rider after the service was in full swing was expected' to make an average ot 75 to 100 miles a day either east or west, with a change of mount every 10 or 15 miles, go that the pony, while In use, could be kept at the top of its speed. Half an hour before an express was due at a station a fresh pony was bridled and saddled in order-that no time should be lost In the change ot mounts. The rider as he n eared a station would loosen his saddle-bags ready for their transfer to his fresh mount on which. In less time than it takes to tell it, he would be speeding away across the desert or mountain traiL "At relay stations there was change of riders; the incoming man would have his saddle-bags unbuckled, and ready to hand to his waiting relief, who in another instant would be speeding on his way. The maximum halting time allowed at stations, whether to change riders or horses, from the first was two minutes, and this limit was rarely ever succeeded. S W - 'Mark Twain in Roughin It' hag an oft quoted description of the pony express rider as seen in action by travelers on the Over land stage. 'Here he comes!' he writes, 'Every neck is stretched further, and every eye strained wider. Away across the endless dead level of the prairie a black speck appears against the sky and it is plain that it moves. Well, I should think so. In a second or two it becomes a horse and rider, rising and faUing sweep ing toward us, nearer and nearer growing more and more distinct, more and more sharply defined- nearer and still nearer, and the flutter of the hoofs comes faintly to the ear another' Instant, a whoop and a hurrah from our up per deck, a wave, of the rider's hand, but no reply, a man and a horse- burst past our excited faces. and go swinging away like a be lated fragment of a storm!' "On April 3, 1860, the first pony express left St. Joseph and San Francisco. At the western end of the line a steamer leaving San Francisco at 4 In the after noon carried the mail to Sacra' mento. There the first rider. uenry Roil, mounted on a spirited half-breed broncho, started a t midnight, took the mail, and with it covered the first 20 miles in 59 minutes, including one change, Fort Churchill, 20 miles east of Virginia City and 185 miles from Sacramento, was reached in 15 hours and 20 minutes, the rider crossing the Sierras in 30 feet of snow with drifts cleared from the trail by ' trains of pack animals, The eighth rider to receive the mail reached Salt Lake City 15 minutes before midnight on April 7. And the. same rate .of speed was maintained during the re mainder of the first eastward journey, which ended at St. Jo seph in the early hours of April 14. "Meanwhile the express which left St. Joseph at 6:30 in the aft ernoon of April 3, in charge ot Johnson William Richardson. sailor turned landsman and known to his familiars as 'Billy,' was speeding westward. 1 1 reached Salt Lake City in the aft ernoon of April 9, and at 2:30 in the afternoon of April 12 the operator at Carson City, then the eastern terminus of the California telegraph lines, wired its arrival at that point on schedule time, accompanying this welcome news with a resume of eastern and world events only nine days old. "On the instant plans were per fected both in Sacramento and San Francisco to give fitting wel come to the Tint express. At Sacramento at 5:30 on April 13th the whole town turned out with bells, guns and band to receive the rider, and escort him to the swift steamer. Antelope, which was to carry the mall to San Fran- ClSCOw "There at 1 o'clock In the morn ing of April 14 a great throng greeted rider and mall, and with noise making devices of every sort kept them company from the dock to the office of the Alta Telegraph, western terminus o the express,' and in this Jubilant fashion was celebrated the suc cessful accomplishment of a great undertaking. V S "At the outset the pony express service, east and west, was a weekly one,, hut after June 19, 1860, there was a semi-weekly dispatch of riders from both ends ot the line. The original ached ule of 10 days between telegraph stations was reduced to seven when the llne from the east reached Fort Kearney, but with the coming of winter this was ex tended to 11 days between tele graph stations and to IS days be tween St. Joseph and San Francis co. - "The route followed by the rid ers - ran from ' St. - Joseph to ' the present town of Horton.

And here when Mom opened the box it wasn't or dinary, candy hut candy that looked like fruit; yon could touch it and It even felt like fruit. Uncle Louie had something to say about that. too: he said what -was the sense In It when Tommy could have got real fruit for half the price and it was only another waste of money with times so bad; and Pop said If he had wasted as much time in bis life doing nothing, like some peo ple, he wouldn't talk about anybody else wasting their own money which they had worked hard for and it was nobody's business bow they spent it. It took Pop to settle him. But Mom noticed Uncle Louie could eat it, just the same; for when she went to get it to take up to the store the next day to show the neighbor ladies, half of it was gone; and of course he had had to take the bunch of grapes in the middle Mom Eked best. It was the biggest piece and that's why he had taken it first. She knew him. Then Cousin Emmy came over so quick that Mom knew she couldn't have half-fed her man and Mom wondered how he stood for it, even if .he was as dumb as they said he was. When Uncle Louie saw her coming he turned up his nose and stuck out his lower lip: and before Cousin Emmy could say a thing Unci Louie said, real loud, how good the meal was; and Cousin Emmy said she supposed he meant her cooking! was no jrood and that anytime he got tired of It he could leave and -it wouldn't make her mad. Then Uncle Loni looked at Mom tike he was asking her if he had to be insulted in her house and Mom turned it off by showing Cou sin Emmy Steve's ring. And here she hardly looked at it twice before she turned around and made for Tommy Eke she was going to kiss him but Tommy made out he didnt know what she meant as he bad never Eked people to kiss him, even when he was a child, particularly Cousin Emmy who was one of the kissing kind. Mom would never for get the time she had tried to kiss Pop the first and last tune. Then she got to asking questions about Hollywood and how was her old friend Jack Devere and how about Valeska Mount and Tommy said Valeska Mount was in love with herself; and Uncle Louie said. sure, that proved what he had said all the time, that she was no good and a hunky; and he looked at Pop and Pop couldn't say anything with Tommy going against him that way although Tommy didn t know he was favoring Uncle Louie, that was one sure thing. Then Cousin Emmy kept pester ing him so much and following him around askinc questions about this and that, that finally Tom excused himself and said he was going downtown. And when he went out he gave Mom a look as If to say The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers PLAY CRITICISM 8AID AMATEURISH A column in Tuesday's States man portrayed to your readers, in the form ot a criticism, the Chem- eketa Players as they appeared in Diana Rogge's "Modern Medley." The amateurishness ot the char acters is probably not half so no ticeable as the amateuristic fa shion in which this production was criticized in your column. Webster says that criticism should reveal the truth, value, righteousness and beauty of that thing criticized. It follows then that If the truth is not portrayed, the criticism is without value. There Is no doubt that Ruth Versteeg in the. role of Phillis Stockridge shows more training and ability In the art of drama than anyone In the cast. That, In the tint place, Is where the show was not balanced. If Mrs. Ver steeg had have been given the part of Mrs. Sayles, that part would have been filled by someone heavy enough to balance the show. Gladys Hog hey, on the other hand, should be complimented very highly fori doing aa well as she did in the role ot Mrs. Sayles with no more training and experi ence In drama than she has had. The acting of the players as a whole being light, Kathryn Rowe's acting. In the role of Carol Sayles, appeared a little emphatic in places. However, It Is not charac teristic for an amateur to over act. Therefore, if an amateur over acts a part, it is simple deduction to conclude that the character has been over coached. Miss Rowe displayed exceptional ability in playing the difficult role of Carol Sayles, and should be giv en credit tor carrying the play as well at she did. It is not necessary to discuss in struck the military road to Fort Leavenworth and Atchison, run ning thence by way of Gnnada and Seneca to Marysvfile, where It joined thomara Oregon Trail, and, crossing the Sowth Platte at Jules burg, followed that famous art ery ot travel to Fort Brldger.

Pon didn't sav anv- thing but she saw him looking from the corner of his eye, taking Tommy in xrom neao to root, par this article the rest of the parts separately. The reason being that general criticism, ot the entire play will cover each character. The most amateur part of the entire play was the makeup. It is very difficult for a 19 or 20 year old boy to take the part of an older man without he be made up to look just a little older. Such a fine part as Sandy Stockbridge should not be spoiled by making him look like he had 10 minutes previously entered an ordinary beauty shoppe. The makeup and the lighting of the stage should be worked out harmoniously; and when the lighting Is bad, the makeup would naturally appear overdone. Looking at the production as a whole one feels there is some thing missing. This fault cannot be placed upon anyone or two of the individual characters. If one character alone is guilty ot a dra matic error, I would think It was the character's fault. But when several of the characters are guUty of the same error, then It is certainly the fault of the coach. One of these general criticisms is the anticipation of the others' lines or of his own cues. Each character wonld act just like he knew before the other spoke what he was going to say, Another error that was general was the in difference of the rest of the char acters as to what was being said. Seemingly unaware of their en vironment, each character was ap parently worrying whether he would remember his lines or not Under the ostensible poor gen eralship, any actor, whether, ama teur or professional, would be very tempted to 'over act or do something to carry the play. Un der this same handicap of poor generalship fn directing, the char acters should he both collectively and Individually complimented very highly for the manner In which Modern Medley was played.
