Medford Remains m Oregon ; t
JTlHE Medford Mail-Tribune was at the wailing wall a few
X " days ago with indignation over omission of reference
to the Medford region in Amos Burg's article on the state In
the National Geographic magazine. The editor burst out with
veiled hints at secession to California: "If the Rogue River
.valley wishes to register, it appears to be the only way!"
The cause for the omission the M-T professed to find in the
fact that the author of the Geographic article was born on
the BANKS OF THE COLUMBIA (capitals not ours), and
goes on to complain:
"There Is something about those born on tbe 'banks of the
Columbia' and who lire there, which makes them terribly short

Unfortunately for Editor Ruhl he fired before he saw
i the-whites of the eyes of the enemy. He was too quick on the
trigger, shooting on the basis of a few pages of advance
' proofs sent out by the magazine. When the magazine came,
i here is the consideration the

A picture of a stile over a fence along the Rogue, show
ing farmer's courtesy to fishermen on the famed stream.
Several paragraphs of text describing the region, in
cluding the following:
j . "Wealthy easterners saw the possibilities of the Rogue

ed west. Today ten thousand acres in irrigated pear orchards
i cover the hillsides and valley bottoms. Medford, the valley's
pear center, ships 3,500 carloads annually, one stream moving

i fresh fruit." .
. Salem and the Willamette valley get no such proportion
i of space as the Medford country ; tout we are happy to see
t the whole state described so comprehensively and accurately
! as Burg has done in his article.
j . Of course Editor Ruhl did the amende honorable as
soon as he got to peruse the magazine itself. And we hope he
has pulled down the flag of secession and renewed his fealty
to Oregon. The state needs all its parts, and regards the
Rogue river country as an important section of the state,
rich in resources, and occupied by a people above the ave
rage in culture and inteflirence. rieanite the sVin win tr of the
Jackson county revolutionists of a year ago.:
' : Game Commission Audit
BETWEEN failure to collect fines and fees and excessive
expenditures in operating by the game commission there
is little wonder the fishermen complain about getting a little
back for their fishing licenses. The game commission was re
organized by Gov. Meier and good men chosen for the posts ;
but old habits of management have persisted. Now the offi
cial audit plus the prob!rg of Chairman Corrigan are bring
ing to light wasteful practices which impair the usefulness
of the commission's work. .
; - The difficulty has been that the game commission was
more or less of a football of politics. Money came easy; went
more easily. As a nearly autonomous commission, with of
fices at Portland, it ran the works to suit itself; and was not
subjected to, the severe scrutiny of units located "under the
dome".
'! Oregon needs building up of its fish and game stocks
over the state, not only for our own pleasure but for the
state's profit because of the tourists attracted here by fish
inor and huntintr. We believe th nreoenr. riisrlnsnrea will re.
suit in a tightening of control, great economy and better
service to the sportsmen of the state.

Broken terms of
Oregon high officials:
Errors of the Blue Book:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
The first Oregon state superinten
dent of public instruction-was Syl
vester C. Simpson, appointed by
Governor L. F. Grover. Simpson
served from Jan. 30, 1873, to
Sept. 14, 1374.
He was a son of Benjamin
Simpson and a brother of Sam L.
Simpson, poet, author of "The
Beautiful Willamette." They had
been editors and managers of The
Statesman.
The writer believes that dur
ing his term tbe office was on
the second floor of the present
Statesman building, for he had
been state librarian, and the state
library was in that period here.
as well as the rooms ot the su
preme court and the governor's
office. This holds for his succes
sor, up to September, 1876, when
all these offices were moved to
the present capitol (which is gen
erally called the state house.)
V V
Benjamin Simpson was promi
nent in early day Oregon. He was
in the fifties, a great friend of
Second Lieut. Phil Sheridan, hav
ing had tbe sutler's store at Fort
Sheridan on the Grand Bond In
dian reservation. When General
Sheridan, after the war of the
states, came- back to Oregon, to
look after his land claim near
the reservation, Benjamin Simp
son met and took charge ot him,
going over familiar scenes of the
old days in Oregon.
The Simpson family home in
Salem was at the southeast cor
ner ot Chemeketa ajid Summer
street. The house still? stands.
much as it was in the old days.
U
Dr. L. L. Rowland was the sec
ond superintendent, elected in
1874. He became in the nineties
superintendent of the asylum for
the insane, now called state hos
pital. After him came J. L, Pow
ell, and after Powell came E. B.
McElroy, serving 12 years. Then
Q. M. Irwin had one term, after
which J. H. Ackerman had three
four year terms, followed by L. R.
Alderman, serving until June 28.
1913, when be resigned and Gov
ernor West appointed J." A. Chur
chill, who held the place by ap
pointment nearly two years, and
nearly 12 years by election, when
he resigned and Governor Pierce
appointed R. R. Turner., who held
the office from June 1, '26, -.to
Jan.. 3, '27. . - - '
Cfeas. A. Howard was elected
In 1916 and reelected in 1939. i
The breaks in - terms of our
fj. S. senators started with, the
kining at the battle of. BalTs
Bluff of CoL E. D. Baker Oct
21, 1861. (He was one of the
world's greatest orators.) ; Benja
min Stark succeeded him, by ap
pointment of Governor White
aker. serving from OctJ 21, Ci,
to Sept. 11, '62. when the legis
lature elected Benjanjin Harding.
A paragraph should be inserted
concerning the election of the
first two XL S. senators. Gen.
Joe Lane and Delazon Smith were
chosen, and Lane drew the long
term. So Smith; who took his
seat, along with Lane, . the day
the state was admitted to the
Union, Feb. 14, 1859, lasted only
to Mah 3 ot the same year. like
Congressman Grover, as will be
seen further along. Lane lasted
one year longer After that, his
long political career suffered; a
complete eclipse, he having cast
his sympathies with the south in
the war ot the states. For some
rears thereafter. Lane was rather
a pathetic figure, in complete re
tirement on bis Douglas conaty
farm. In the last, few years of
his life, however, Jn Rosebarg,
bitter memories having mellowed.
yss5?,
he enjoyed a period of peaceful
Quiet, well regarded by all. In
the last days, of the seventies and
the first ot the eighties he was
easily the most distinguished ci
tizen of Douglas county's shire
town.
The legislature of 1897 falling
to elect a successor to John H.
Mitchell, Governor Lord appoint
ed Henry W. Corbett, whom the
senate refused to seat, and so
Oregon had only one man,
George W. McBride, in the upper
branch of congress from March 4,
'97, till Oct. 6, '98, when the
legislature elected Joseph Simon
to fill the unexpired term. Then
Mitchell staged a comeback; was
elected by the 1901 legislature,
and died in office Dec. 8, 1905.
Governor Chamberlain appoint
ed John M. Gearin to fill out the
term, Dec 12, 1905 to Jan. 23,
1907.
There was a HttlA niA
term left. nnrl fi. 1..i.i.n. I
chose Fred W. Mulkey to fill it,
Jan. 23 to March 3, 1907.
Chas. L. McNary first went to
the senate on appointment of Gov
ernor Withycombe, to fill the un
expired term of Dr. Harry Lane,
who died May 23, 1917. McNary
was elected by tbe people in 1918.
and has been having the same luck
ever since. His present term runs
until 1937.
Tbe first election of a senator
in congress by tbe people ia Ore
gon was that of Geo. E. Chamber
lain, in 1914. The next was Mc
Nary in 1913.
S S
The first member ot congress in
the lower house from Oregon was
L. F-. Grover. But though be was
elected in 1858, he did cot take
his seat until Feb. 15. 1859. and
served only about two weeks, un
til March 3, same year. This was
occasioned by the long pending de
bate over tne admission of the
state after the adoption ot the con
stitution, the bill for which final
ly passed February 12, 1859, and
was signed by President Buchanan
Feb. 14, that being Monday, and
Grover took his seat the-next day.
That debate makes op a long and
interesting chapter of American
history. Bitter political medicine
was being mixed, the taking ot 4
which was one of the causes of tbe
war of the states.
(Territorial members of con
gress are called delegates. Oregon
had only two. Samuel R. Thurs
ton, 49 to Si; and Gen. Joe Lane,
51 to '59.) ,
. There were a number ot broken
terms of congressmen. Jos. G. WU-
soa, great pioneer citizen aad
booster of . Salem, and who was
largely Instrumental in the final
round of the successful fight for
the location or the capital here.,
was elected to tbe congress to open
in 1873. But b died before rual!-1
lying, aad J. W. Neamith was
chosen to tm the vacancy.
For the very neat two year
term term. Geo. A. La Dow of
Pendleton was in 1874 chosen at
the.Jaae election, but he died at
Pendleton May 1, 1875, and La
fayette Lane waa chosen for the
vacancy, sitting from Oct. 25,
1871. to March. S, 1877. Ho was a
son of Gen. Joe Lane and a resi
dent of Rosebarg. La Dow waa a
native ot New York, born Mar.
18. 182 f. and came from Wiscon
sin to Umatilla county In 1119,
before there was much fenced

uwOU TEETH are essential not
only to good appearance, but to good
health as welL You have been told
many times how properly to care for
your teeth, and it
l xx n n e c canary
tor me to say
anything about
that. But I can
not too strongly
emphasize the
I m p o r tanr of
mouth hygiene.
In prehistoric
times and even
today, uncivilized
races had little,
if any, trouble
resulting- from
tooth decay. But
Dr. Copeland
as a race be
comes more and
more "civilized",
troubles resulting
the number of
from defective teeth
Increases rap-
Idly. It is amazing to learn that a
large percentage of tbe people in the
United States are seriously troubled
with faulty teeth. Almost 10 per cent
of the population are so affected and
it is alleged that at least 40 per cent
ot all illnesses may be traced to bad
teeth.
Mouth Infection
Heart disease, rheumatism, ulcer
of the stomach, diabetes, brain dis
eases all these and many more have
been attributed to some form of
mouth Infection. Minor troubles,
such as sleeplessness, nervousness
and mental instability, are sometimes
traced to defective teeth.
There are two types of mouth In
fection. Tbe first is tooth decay
which Is most prevalent Tbe main
cause ot this is improper cleansing
of the teeth.
In tbe process ot germ growth
adds are developed. These attack
the enamel ot the teeth. A tiny
amount will be eaten away. Then
with tbe next meal, the satn process
is repeated and more enamel is re
moved. Finally a hole appears and
tbe tooth starts to decay.
Unless tbe cavity is treated Im
mediately, it will gradually enlarge.
With further Infection a pus sac may ,'
form, Poisons generated here travel!
through the blood stream and affectt
other parts of the body. Shortly an4
other victim Is added to the growing1
list of rheumattca and diabetics.'
Careless CUaaalng of tbe Teeth j
Do not be careless about cleaning
your teeth. Brush them- morning
and night. B sure, when . you no
lsh, that you have removed all the
food jMurticles lodged between and
around the teeth. If your brush can
not reach a piece ot food, a silk
thread will remeve it from between
your teeth.
The other type of month infection
Is known as "pyorrhea'. This may
be traced to an Injury of the gum

CHAPTER THREE .
"Go down Fifth," Stanley told
him, once they were In bis car,
"and drive slower than slow. I
want to feel H--you know, sort Of
breathe in it. I love it at night like
this all deserted and quiet and
sort of waiting. She laughed husk
Uyk "Heavens, Perry, I'm going
emotional on you!"
: "I'd much prefer your going emo
tional about me. Any chance of
that, Stant"
She squeezed his arm with a
friendly little gesture. "I like you
a lot. Perry"
"Yon mean I'm nice to have
around but not exactly vital to
your happiness.'
"Not exactly."
They both laughed. Stanley, be
cause she was amused, and Perry
because she expected him to be.
He reminded himself again aa be
slowed for a red light that he would
wade into any affair with Stanley
not dive from any emotional
springboard. Comfortably unintui
tive about most things, Perry real
ized in some dim way that Stanley
had never been touched by passion.
That neither he nor anyone else
bad any adequate idea of her emo
tional potentialities. He rather tm
agined that they might be rather
tremendous once awakened. He had
failed to awaken them once. He
had no good reason for believing
he would succeed now. Therefore,
he Intended to be not too badly hurt
if he failed. He felt that in any
love-affair he might have with
Stanley discretion was obviously
the better part of enthusiasm.
As they rode slowly downtown
through a mildly caressing spring
night Stanley was not thinking at
all. She was feeling. She" was feel
ing very young and a little excited
and delightfully contented. She was
glad she was riding down Fifth
Avenue with Perry at midnight.
She was utterly relaxed and yet
pleasantly exhilarated. She won
dered vaguely if she had had too
much champagne and decided she
wouldn't drink any more that night.
She thought girls who drank too
much were stupid. Too much liquor
took the edge off things. A little
was all right. But as far as she
was concerned she didn't need any,
She had only drunk tonight to be
friendly and to sort of celebrate.
She'd probably have a head in the
morning. If she did, she d swear off,
' She hated the thought of an early
morning hangover was quite sure
nothing was worth It.
By the time they had reached
Stern's apartment house, she had
decided quite definitely not to drink
any more ontil she was thirty. By
that time probably everything that
was going to happen to her would
have happened. There was some
thing a little frightening in this
thought. For a second she wonder
ed rather wildly which waa worse
never to have had anything hap
pen to yon or to have had every
thing? Before ehe could decide
Perry had parked the car and was
waiting for her to ret out.

a talL absurdly thin girl with mag
nificent red hair and curiously
shaped eyes.
"Lovely, isn't she?" Stanley
spoke nervously, perfunctorily. For
some reason entirely unassociated
with the girl in green she felt sud
denly disturbed. Some sort of a
doll undercurrent of excitement
seemed to be reaching out, pulling
at her. She. lifted her chin a trifle
defensively,1 her eyes searching the
room apprehensively. She knew in
some inexplicable way that she was
being stared at not casually or
even curiously but intently and
brazenly, with a sort of audacious
insolence. Her eyes moved restless
ly, halted abruptly, widened slowly,
almost painfully. Tall, he was, this
dark young man who was staring
at her from across that crowded
room, and erect of shoulder and
ridiculously slim waisted. An arro
gant young man, with a defiant,
jutting chin and a crest of hair as
black and shining as a. crows wing.
Fearfully demanding and snatch
ing bis eyes were and there was
a bright stain of color beneath the
dark planes of his cheeks. His
month was red too, and looked as
if it had kissed many women aad
found the experience entirely to its
liking.
She stood quite still and return

laughter in his eyes and ruthless
ness and a certain pleased aston
ishment; aware, that somehow they
contrived to be at once coolly pos
sessive and rather tenderly con
trite; it waa aa if they said to her

in so many words: "You're lovely
looking and desirable and, of
course, I must have yon but I'm
frightfully sorry to be se abrupt
about it!"
"Yon wait here, Stan," Perry
told her and she felt a startled sur
prise that his voice waa so com
pletely undisturbed. "IH go hunt
op Nigel and a couple of drinks."
He went away and she watched
him go with distressed eyes, felt
a silly, desire to rush after him,
ask him not to leave her; but she
didn't do it, of course. She simply
stood where he left her and a few
minutes later the girl in green and
the man who had stared at her
came across the room and spoke
to her.
The girl held out a languid hand.
"I suppose you're Perry's Stanley.
He said you were beautiful and
yon are. I'm Dennis St John and
this is Drew Armitage. He's from
Chicago and has a way with wo
men. Dont aay I didn't warn you.
This Is Stanley Paige. Drew she
came here with Perry Deverest and
he acts as if she belonged to him."
Dennis put her cigarette back be
tween her lips, smiled at them
slowly, and moved away.
"Do yon?"
"Do I what?" He had taken her
hand. It was trembling terribly but
her voice was beautifully steady. ,
"Belong to Deverest?" j
"Of course not."
He dropped her hand. She knew
that he had noticed how it shook.
She knew that he' knew how he
was exciting her. She thought that
she hated him a little for it.
"That's fine. I didn't really be
lieve yon did. Let's get out of here,
shall we? Unless yon want a
drink"
She shook her head.
"Then, this way out, please." His
hand was light but firm on her
arm. He opened a door suddenly
in back of her and the next second
it had closed behind them, shutting
them out into a narrow, black hall
way. She looked at him with startled
eyes,
"To the roof, lady, to the roof 1"
He indicated a flight of dusty iron
stairs that led upward to a hatch
way. "Will yon walk or shall I
carry yon?"
"Ill walk," she told him, piqued
by the amusement in his voice.
