Si ' It is always a problem, this for literary; work. Some people travel to the far corners of the "earth seeking to "prime the pump" of their brains by drawing on the rare, the distant ors remain at home and fabricate novels, poems,? plays from the stuff in their dooryards And there are others who jour ney far in time and recreate scenes and characterslfpm days long past. . . Charles Dickens sketched his own London, a London not of humbler folk, clerks and tradesmen. Scott and Thackeray found Clio their muse and developed the historical novel. Vic tor Hugo took the human materials of Paris and gave them literary, immortality. Robert Louis Stevenson, though he journeyed far from his Scottish birthplace, and finally died in the South seas, made this interesting comment at the end ,of his "An Inland Voyage", descriptive of his boat journey along the canalsand rivers of Belgium and northern, France: "You may paddle all day long; but it is when you come . back at nightfall, and look In at the familiar room, that you find . Love or Death awaiting you beside the stove; and the most beau tiful adventures are not those we go to seek." f . fis . ' Is it not something of a confession of lack of originality to seek inspiration and materials in remote quarters of the globe, as though 'the author hoped by using liberal splotches of foreign color lo cover deficiencies in his imagination? Then there are those who as Carlyle says in his "ESssay on Burns" may "travel from Dan to Beer-sheba and find it all barren." i , jj i . We have had some excellent production in receiit years of novels'whose material is wholly indigenous. The south, for example, has been a newly discovered mine of riches. Mrs. Julia Peterkin has taken the Gullah Negro of her own section of South Carolina and used him as source material for Pulit xer prize-winning "Scarlet Sister Mary" and for other novels. Basso's "The Cinnamon Tree" is another recent novel Of the south which excels in character study. English novelists, Hugh Walpole, Galsworthy, Priestley, Bennett, for the. most part have used materials right at hand. .. - s H. There is however, always a danger of parochialism. Lo cal material often may be shallow and inadequate, lacking sufficient substance to serve as the vehicle of great writing. After all there is no final answer to the problem of source material.?

J; HENDRICKS The White Headed Eagle of Richard Montgomery: There are many biographies of Dr. John McLoughlln. Every true history of Oregon or the Oregon country must of necessity contain one, short or long. The latest one is that of Rich ard Montgomery of Portland, great grandson of Dr. W. H. Will- son, who platted down town Sa lem, and Chloe A. Clark-willaon, first teacher of the Oregon Insti tute that by change of name be-1 came Willamette university. Mr. Montgomery thus needs no excuse for taking up the responsibility of supplying the need of a better bi ography of the man ften called the "Father of Oregon." S S S He has done this. He says in his introduction: "Although a search for hitherto unpublished material was not without result, I am frank to say that my princi pal aim was to collect, - between the covers of a single valume. such information about the White Headed Eagle' as has heretofore been accessible only to -fihe more enterprising students of western history." It was a worthy aim, and is well performed; Eva Emery Dye, 34 years ago. gave the world her "McLoughlln and Old Oregon," an interpreta tive biography In which the high points oi tne epocnai career oi the great organizer, leader, ad ministrator and statesman were made to stand out in plain and intelligible outline. Seven years later appeared "Dr. John McLoughlln, the Fath er of Oregon," by Frederick V. Holman, which he called a "plain and simple narrative of the life of Dr. John McLoughlln, and of his noble career In the early his tory of Oregon." It was well and sympathetically done. S Mr. Montgomery in his new book' has, as his introduction in dicated, gathered the . essential known facts in print up to date, and added what new: ones, he could find from original sources. Mr. Holman said in the intro duction to his book, in 1907 "The full, history of. the life of Dr. - John- : McLoughlln wUl be written is the future: Such a his tory will have all .the Interest of a great romance. It f begins' In happiness and ends In martydom, It Is so remarkable that one un acquainted with the facts might doubt if some of these matters I have set forth could be true. Un fortunately they are true." ,-: Dr. John McLoughlln was born Oct. 19, 1784, in the parish Rlv lere dn Loup, Canada, 120 -miles below Quebec, on the south side of the St. Lawrence river. He was baptized Not. 3, 1784, both parents ' being Roman Catholics His father was John, native of Ireland. His mother before mar riage was Angelique F r a s e r. daughter .of Malcolm Fraser, scotch; a member of the High landers, related to the General Fraser who was one of Bur- soyne'i. chief officers killed at the. pivotal battle of Saratoga, U. ?, 1777. r David, older brother, and John were brought hp In the home of Malcolm Fraser, their maternal grandfather. They both were doc tors.

He Joined the Northwesters, ri vals of the ancient Hudson's Bay company in the fur trade of North America. He risked bis life in the armed conflicts of the rival concerns battling for prece dence on the hunting and trap ping grounds of western Canada and the old Northwest of the Uni ted States. ! ; j S In 1821, Dr. John McLoughlln was in charge at Fort William chief depot and factory ' of the Northwesters, on the north shore of Lake Superior, having worked up to that prominent place from the lower levels of the service. In the more or less hazy span before the attainment of this dis tinction, he had married Margar et McKay. Wrote Montgomery: It was on one of his sojourns at the North West company's ; (the Northwesters') Isolated Sault Sainte Marie post that he met this comely widow and promptly lost his heart. Up to then the young Ndrth Wester, save for one ob scure affair, had had no time for romance; but his infatuation for Margaret appears to have been in stantaneous and profound. Through the long years ahead. their association was to contain all the elements of a great ; and lasting love. hi "It was at Sault Sainte Marie that Margaret, still attractive. though well past 30. had resided since the death of her first hus band. "Of her early life almost noth ing Is known. Her father! was a fur trader. lamed Wadin. and her mother was either a full blooded Indian or a halt breed. The! his torians appear evenly divided be tween these two alternatives. though at least one is positive that the widow of Alexander i Mc Kay was 'one fourth Cheppewa from Red River of the North.' (Reference is to S. A. Clarke's Oregon history, volume 1, page 189.) Whatever her origin may have been, she was, when John first met her, a picture of loveli ness with her straight dark hair, her flashing black eyes, audi her slightly coppered skin. She not only was charming, but, to a tery limited extent, educated, for, as a girl, she had attended the con vent of the Ursuline nuns in Que- Dec. There is a remote possibil ity that John's older sister, JUarie Louise, was a student there at the same time,. In which ease . the dark haired girl from the Red-1 River country may hare learned something of her future husband long years before she met him. Doubtless the heart of many a stalwart Scot had thumped In vain until she succumbed to i the wiles of the bold spirited McKay toward the close of the old cen tury. "The name jf Alexander Mc Kay is renowned in the annals of the North West company.. Among other daring feats he had accom panied the pathfinder. Alexander Mackenzie, on his overland,: expe- ainon or 178993. Later he had joined the Astor enterprise; only to-do murdered by hostile Indians . . . when. . . the savages : seiz ed, the lU-fated ship Tonquln and massacred all hands." (This was in June. 1811.) Resuming. ;from tne Montgomery text: ii "Margaret, waiting at Sault sainte Marie with growing alarm, could scarcely hare received news of her husband's tragic death be fore the latter part Dt 1811. How long- she tarried before accepting Dr. John, who had been nreasinr his suit with rigor, is an unsolv- abie riddle, but we can hazard the guess that their wedding took piace either late in 1811 or ear ly in 1813. The fact that the first child. John, Jr., arrived on ? Aug. 18. 1812. offers our only clue, to we marriage date." t. (Continued on Tuesday.) Mi::'! :- ' -' '-- .

Harrow's glossy black eyebrows arched gracefully and he nodded very alurhtly. Kay continued, ''but it wouldn't be fair. Yon know how thingi art with Pete and me. .

The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers TOWXSEXD PLAX i Jan. 1, 1935. The Editor of The Statesman: The Townsend Plan will solve the three R problem. Those against the plan try to create the impression that the 8200 a month is a gift, that we can travel outside the V; S., can bank it, buy bonds or give it away. They have even got the great Babson 'on the air telling us wo are trying to get something for nothing. - It is Just the reverse. We are agents of the government to pay the $200 out for labor, service on our homes, and for utilities each month. As we could not use all the 'utilities me must buy, there should be some one to tell us what to buy, and where lo place them to do the most good. When the president signs the bill, 10 million people will be taken from relief, and unemployment rolls. With at least one to three quar ter billion dollars new moaey spent each month for utility, in dustry would soon need the bal ance of unemployed to keep up with- the . increased demand. Crime would decrease. ' Boys and young men would rather work than be idle. Older men would go straight for a criminal rec ord gets no pension. Taxes would be much lower, income taxes re duced, and inheritance taxes In creased. After two or three months, national; state and coun ty relief would - end. Everyone would be busy. Poor farms could be sold. State old age pensions stopped. One county in Kansas needs $500,000 tor relief.L 40 counties two billion: dollars. New York budget calls for SO millions for relief. So it goes all orer the U. 8. A dole never can bring back prosperity, for the one who receives it can Just live, never having enough money to buy any utilities. - The sales tax is a fair and just tax, for we all enjoy the protection and privileges of our government and we all pay ac cording to our ability to buy, but under the Townsend Plan wo pay it to make our old age secure. Under the plan. Instead of unein pioyment insurance-dole i em ployment Is Insured or assured; and. our country will always be prosperous. - The tax will not affect Industry because it, will be passed - on to the consumer, but we will be glad to pay it for we will get better One would, I tmtgTne ' o girl of your sort," Harrow oboerred.

Chamberlin, state commander of the American Legion has been challenged to a debate on criminal syndicalism by the Reverend Ross W. Anderson. president of the lately organized American Civil Liberties union. Joe Chamberlin is exceedingly busy at present holding American Legion district conferences and spreading the gospel of 100 per cent Americanism. In case com mander Chamberlin cannot spare sufficient time to meet Brother Ross in open debate, permit a buck pirate of old fashioned An drew Jeckson and Theodore Roos evelt Americanism to- suggest the names of two Portlandders as pos sible opponents of Mr. Ross W. Anderson. In event' either Harold J. Warner, national rice com mander of the American Legion, or, Chaplain John W. Beard, lock horns with Reverend Anderson on criminal syndicalism, the worthy gentleman and his cohorts will re ceive a much needed lesson In good citizenship. It would be educational to say the least to hear two Presbyter-: ian ministers, Ross W. Anderson and John W. Beard, take diamet rically opposite views on this per tinent subject of whether Oregon should continue to. effectively en force her criminal syndicalism law; no one need apologize for Chaplain Beard s brand of Amer icanism. 1 . Today, January 1, is an appro priate time for all patriotic, law abiding Americans to stand up and be counted. Let us resolve here and now that we will do our level best to defend our state and natlonAfrom the Insidious attacks of those misguided souls who, In their fanatical desire to further personal liberty would destroy the larger liberty that makes limited personal liberty possible. There Is no such thing as com plete personal liberty. ''The Ten Commandments' are an infringe ment upon personal liberty.' All laws are a negation of personal liberty. The "bill of rights" of our American constitution - does . not give anyone the right of unbridled free speech as some of the spout- ers and loud speakers for crimin al syndicalism repeal hare stated. as good friends, aa ever, and he no . longer seemed to disapprove of Pete : since the kidnaping episode. SpOca let her in on secret. "It's v f Pretty good bet that Earl's got . Nick Caspar cornered," he said. The boys hare dug up enough dope -on him to railroad him any day now, - ' let alone this snatch game he tried. : Unless everything falls through, the " coppers will hare him in a day or two and hell go over for a nice, long rest. This guy. Earl, beats me. That's been his ambition for a year and his only regret is that he wasnt able to swing it practically single handed." .,- ., ' i ( At the house Kay noticed one new , development that surprised her. Ida Campbell seemed suddenly to hare grown cold toward Harrow. When- v ever Kay saw her she seemed to be with Spike, and, as only another girl could see, was playing up to him industriously. Spike seemed to -bo enjoying it, tow. He had begun to strut and preen. And there, Kay told herself, was the reason for his concluding bis gestures toward her: he. had directed his efforts in an other direction. Like Boris War-" ren. Spike Winch was honest. He knew what be wanted and he tried to get it. . k . I'm actnaly beginning to grow up, Kay told herself, and I'm seeing things at last as they really are. ... Meanwhile, the publicity pot was boiling. One tabloid printed a "can- , did camera" shot of Earl and Kay -dancing at a night club, the columns were buzzing with gossip about "Earl Harrow's new pash with All That mnvuA." and finally, a story was released announcing that Kay Owen, the beach beauty from Flor ida, -wLo had sared Ilarrow'a life in the yacht fire, was not only the "red-head" who was his new "heart," but also a grade-A the atrical "find" and was to bo the star of Harrow's next show, the lat est effort of the bohemian Boris Warren. Boris had tuned orer the first act of the play and Kay was study ing it carefully with Ben Leschin. For the first time the fact that she was to be the star of an Earl Har row Broadway production became absolutely real to her. And it was frightening to think about. Her per sonal affairs, her relationship with the men in ner life none of this mattered now: she had to make good and justify Harrow's faith in her, Boris Warren's, the expense, the public's expectation. Back in Day tona Beach, she knew.
