Re-enforcements in RECENTLY we discussed in 'Economy of Abundance" validity of Chase's conclusions that we had passed the produc tion age and entered permanently into the "age of distribu tion. The magazine "New, Outlook" for this month carries an article by Robert R. Doane which states baldly that in atead of overproduction the country had under production even in 1929. As a member of the National Survey of Poten tial Product Capacity .Doane made a study comparing pro duction with the requirements of an "annual liberal diet' for the American people based on the circular of the U. S. depart ment of agriculture. He writes : r "Oa this basis toe most accurate figures disclose aa annual de 1 ficiency ot approximately 27 billion pounds of milk (the equiva lent ot 13 billion quarts), a deficiency ot 1 1-3 billion pounds of tomatoes and citrus traits, a deficiency of more than 12 billion . pounds of fruits and green vegetables, a deficiency of 2 billion I pounds, of meats, ot more than 13 billion eggs and 2 billions pounds of sugar. ; About the only surpluses he found were 16 billion pounds of flour and cereals and nearly 3 billion pounds of fats, bacon and lard. Doane takes what we interpret as pointed pokes at Chase and others of his opinion : The concept of a, surplus economy is not new. It has ap peared with astonishing regularity at every crisis since the Na poleonic wars. The redundant contention ot an ever widening variety of individuals eager, for some fresh and glittering in tellectual currency has been that this paradox of plenty repre- sents a new phenomenon entirely peculiar to our America of the past few years. This concept of poverty in the midst of plenty whereby our surpluses hare become the very source of our dis tress, has penetrated throughout an amatingly large section of . our people. -It has become part ot the "thought currency' of the man in the street, It has been given velocity by the socialists, the communists, the technocrats, the new economists, and last but not-least, the New Dealers. "When further inflated with the Idea that all privation and want are but artificially enforced phenomena in the face of a plethora of resources, we find in it a new fulcrum around which - is swinging the most amazing variety ot economic and political topsy-turvy doctrine since Rousseau set the world on its head by proclaiming that all heads were equal regardless of what might be In them." At least Doane can throw energetic prose, though not so much of a rhetorical barrage as Chase. For ourselves we are not convinced of productive scarcity which-Doane seems to prove or of excess production which Chase tries to establish. Doane claims we need 500,000 dwell ings per year and on account of the deficiency in building in the last few years 2 million a year for five years. He also says we can't build but 200,000 per year for lack of transport, etc. These figures sound goofy, and one critic says the coun try did build 700,000 dwelling units in 1928. Economic laws finally work out some kind of balance be tween production and consumption. Maybe we can find some method which will help preserve the balance longer and pre vent its getting out of gear easily. We still question conclu sions that this alleged overproduction is a permanent condition. Reclaiming the Pontine Marshes SOUTH of Rome along the old Appian way were the Pon tine marshes. In the days of the empire they were par tially drained and 'reclaimed. With the fall of Rome the works fell into decay, earth movements raised the outlet of the principal canal so water again filled the lowlands be tween the Lepine mountains and the high dune3 bordering the Tyrrhenian sea. Now under orders of Mussolini the area ' of 175,000 acres is being reclaimed. He has set a date, Oct. , 28, 1935, when the work is to be finished, 4000 peasant homes j built and occupied, and three cities, Littoria, Saboudia and Pontina, built to serve them. The job has been proceeding on . schedule. Already 160 miles of road have been built, 300 miles of canals dug and 23 million lire spent A large canal, 'Mussolini', carries water from the foottf the mountains to . the sea. ' In the middle ages kings and popes made attempts to re deem the land but failed. In the 16th century a nephew of the pope, one of the Medicia undertook the task and had good suc- - cess, making a fortune for himself by sale of the reclaimed lands. Other w6rkwas done later, and the old Appian way, portions of which had been submerged for a thousand years, was restored to traffic Malaria was common however and : drove away settlers. The marshes became the paradise of -aucics, geese and other waterfowl. The Rockefeller foundation in late years has carried on a war against malaria in the region, which was so bad in some places that 95 per cent of the population was infected. Now the, disease has been rooted out. . An interesting description of the work, illustrated with maps ana colored photographs xne national ideographic magazine for August The author, Sen.

HENDRICKS Military beginnings of the Salmon river highway: a S Leslie M. Scott, chairman of the Oregon state highway com mission, delivered the principal address at the dedication, July 19, of a tablet in memeory of the builders of the Salmon river high way, frequently cauea tne sal mon river cutoff. The tablet was erected and unveiled at the site of the old toll gate on the John W. Boyer ranch, beside the high way eight miles west of the town of Grand Ronde, The address. without main quotations marks, follows : The Salmon river highway was first a trail of Indians; next an avenue for military ana govern mental administration of palefac es; after that, a track of pioneers, and now it is a road of motor travelers, the main connecting link between the Oregon coast highway and the interior. I am asked to narrate the mili tary beginnings ol the Salmon river highway. These beginnings date from the establishment of the Grand Rond and Siletz In dian reservations, ana the con finement therein of the trouble some tribes, the Rogue River, Mo doc, Klamath and Umpqua In dians. Others confined there were the Calapooias and Chinooks. Some 4000 Indians were held on these reservations In 1858-57. The army built Fort Yamhill and Fort Hoskins ia 185S to guard these reservations, and also blockhous es at Silets and Newport. The most notable personage en gaged in the activities was Sec ond Lieutenant Philip H. Sheri dan, who commanded Fort Tarn- hill and afterward Fort Hoskins, and later served as police patrol at Fort Yamhill, under Captain D. A. RuseeU. Captain Russell was killed in 1864 at the battle ot Opequoa Creek, Virginia, where he served under his former lieu tenant, then raised to the rank of brigadier-general. (And Rus sell then had the same rank and was given the rank of major-gen eral.) Lieutenant Sheridan completed blockhouses at Fort. Yamhill and Fort Hosting m 185s, ana op ened a 30 mile trail between Fort Hoskins and Siletz. He also built the blockhouse at Newport. His Personal Memoirs do not mention the Salmon river trail. now known as the Old Elk trail. hut evidently he used it for his patrol duties. In that work he spoke Chinook jargon fluently, which he calls the "court lan guage," meaning the common vo cabulary of the tribal conferences. Sheridan came to Oregon In 18S5 from Reading, California, as a member of the railroad survey party of Lieutenant R. S. Wil liamson, traveling by Upper Klamath lake and the Deschutes. WUlfamson and Sheridan entered the Willamette valley by way of tha Three Sisters and the McKen ale river. In November, 1SS5, Sheridan waa a member ot the ill- starred expedition of Major Gab riel J Bains against the Yaklmas. This failnre followed the defeat ot Major Granville O. Haller, and made additional "bad medicine' for the whites. Colonel James W. Nesmitn, commanding Oregon mounted vol unteers, participated In the Rains campaign. Rains was a major. but by some "hocus pocua" says Sheridan, was made a brigadier general by Governor I. I. Stevens, of Washington, in order to out rank Nesmlth of Oregon. The ex pedition of Rams faued, s ay a Sheridan, because or the late sea son, discord, Incompetency, and fictitious rank, and the Indians got away to the Okanogan coun try.

In that battle a bullet Erased Sheridan's nose and killed a soldier. In April, 1856, Colonel George Wright, who commanded the de partment of the Columbia, suc ceeding Rains, sent Sheridan from Fort Vancouver to Fort Yamhill as commandant and quartermas ter, and to relieve Lieutenant Wil liam B. Hazen, who had begun construction of Fort Yamhill. The ourney took Sheridan four days. In July, 1856, Captain D. A. Rus sell assumed command at Fore Yamhill, and Sheridan was trans ferred to Fort Hoskins. wr here he finished the blockhouse begun by captain Cbristoppher Columbus Augur. Sheridan says in his Personal Memoirs that he spent many hap py months at Fort Hoskins. Wtta his native energy he opened a trail to Silets, and drove a wag on over it. Oxen drew the wag on, and refused to pull a bad grade until it was discovered that the oxen knew only "frontier vo cabulary"; whereupon that sul phurous vocabulary was used. and, says Sheridan "the wagon and contents were speedily car ried to the summit." The buildings at the fort were rough and crude. "In those days." says Sheridan, "the government did not provide very liberally for aheltering its soldiers and officers, and men were frequently forced to eke out parsimonious appro priations by toilsome work, or go without shelter in most inhospi table regions." The two reservations were col lectively called the coast reserva tion, and were connected by the trail whose route the present high way zoiiows. (Continued tomorrow.)

Then Henry rains Philip In business. This changes every thing. "If we marry, my father will cat me off, and. it I know you, it wouldn't please yon any more to be poor than it would me," Howard tells Caroline. Disappointed that money should mean so much to Howard, Caroline break their en gagement. Another crashing blow falls when Philip tells Caroline and her mother. Alva pampered, selfish woman that they most va cate "Hawthorn," their lovely home, and live ia a poorer section of town. Caroline had never at tributed strength to her mother, bat she expected her to carry through gracefully instead of giv ing away to her emotion as she had. Caroline is doubly disappointed when her father, whom she thought capable of meeting any emergency, accepts defeat Returning from a ride, Caroline learns that Howard telephoned, but she refuses to call him, saying, "Howard wUl have to come back to me unasked." Their financial status has given Mrs. Rat ledge a change of heart where Howard is concerned. "Beggars cannot be choosers,' she -reminds Caroline. Howard takes a trip to California- The Rutledzes leave "Hawthorn" and sro to their fu ture home, an unpretentious dwell In An that sooth side af town. Alva eoUapses from shock and f a tirua. Their neighbors, Mrs. Stuart and her son. Malcolm, come to the Rutledges assistance. Mrs. Stuart does not know who they are, but one look at Alva's expensive clothes convinces her that these people had seen better days. CHAPTER XI Mrs. Stuart had, ef course, been out of the room while the doctor was with his patient It was growing dark. Malcolm had taken it upon himself te run the sedan into the Rutledge garage. There was no one for her to talk with about the family and she had noteyet learned their name. While waitinar for the doctor to leave she went out to the kitchen to see if she could find out what was wrong with the gas. "Land's sake, it only needs quarter in the meter 1" Mr. Rntledee came down with the doctor. She could see them from the kitchen door at the ead of the halL While they stood near the front door talking she went up to asa uaroune far a craarter. Caroline told her what the doctor had said. "She's to have absolute quiet for a few days at least," the girl added. Mrs. Stuart looked at the woman in the bed, her soft white hands, and then at the daughter, so quietly facing a situation that must surely try her courage to the ut most. Anna Stuart's warm heart was filled with Pity for them. She shook her head, said gently: "III go and make her a pot of tea and some toast. Then IH stay with her while yon and your pa have sapper with Malcolm." Mrs. Rutledge lifted weary eye lids, seemed conscious for the first time of her presence. Caroline held her breath. Her mother was so Used to neonle servtmr her that it rraite nossible she had accepted Mrs. Stuart's ministrations without thought of the woman's presence in the house. What would she say now upon hearing Philip invited to sup per at a house ia South TownT To Caroline's great relief she merely smiled faintly and again closed her eyes. Caroline motioned Mrs. Stuart to come with her oat of th room. DEER OF FMZIEB Bill ISJPUID Recent additional information regarding tha Fraxier-Lemke amendment to the Federal Bank-1 ruptcy laws designed to enable a farmer to go into bankruptcy as a means of retaining possession of a-j aeot-naaen iarm, tenas to con firm the early opinion that this is la the nature of a "club behind the door" and is something which will not be used to advantage by many farmers. This is the opinion of L. R. Brelthanpt extension ag ricultural economist at Oregon State college, who is also secre tary of tha Oregon Agricultural Advisory council. Mr. Brelthaupt recently sup plied all county farm debt ad justment committeemen with a complete analysis ot the term bankruptcy act recently appearing tn the National Grange Monthly. It is noteworthy that county farm debt adjustment committees are still regarded aa the best bet for farm debtors who need help in adjusting aad refinancing their indebtedness, says Mr. Brelt haupt "Their work Is expected to Increase rather than decrease as a result of this amendment" The article la the National Grange Monthly points out that la the overwhelming majority of eas es voluntary conciliation by a lo cal farm debt adjustment com mittee still offers the foreclosure threatened farmer the easiest and surest means of holding onto his farm and home. During tha past year these debt adjustment com mittees have provided solutions for more debtor-creitor conflicts than any other means ot settle ment Although there are some attrac tive prospects indicated by a cas ual perusal ot the bankruptcy amendment, it holds many serious dangers for any farmer, the arti cle continues. A six year pur chase plaa is one provision and a rental plan ot settlement is another, but the prospects are that any farmer taking the bank ruptcy route may find himself farming under the jurisdiction of a court.
