1 I Cards For
fTlHE state health officer who
X the census bureau is peeved
came to his birthday party. He sent out cards all over the.
state for registration of babies born in Oregon in 1934 and
got back only 6766 while he thinks he should get 11,000 ior
12,000; and believes there were really 14;400 babies born ;in
Oregon last year. So Pr. Strieker, the man in charge, has
been sending out SOS calls for more babies: or rather for
more baby cards, because it is
1934 babies. , '-t.
, ' I We confess to being somewhat dumb on this baby regis
tration business. We thought Oregon had a good registra
tion system, birth certificates
sus bureau is putting on this drive through the health off ice
to register the babes again. We strongly suspect it is to pro
vide more clerical work under the census bureau, and perhaps
to get some of the backward states started in vital statistics.
But! whatever the purpose every baby should be registered
with his name and his parentage. Thus he will be able to
prove his claim to a big inheritance some day, or to get; a
passport with less trouble than Dad McGilchrist, or to join
tne army or stay out or the army
JSo all parents of 1934 babies should send in the birth
card: and if you haven t had a
tor or from the county department of health, or from the
state health office, Portland. The baby should get his name
on the census roll early; maybe some new new dealer will put

Hedging on Philippine Independence i
A GROUP of senators are returning from the Philippine
I islands where they made an official visit to study the
problem of transition to independence. In the group are Sen
ator McAdoo, McKellar of Tennessee, Tydihgs of Maryland
and Gibson of Vermont. According to reports the Filipinos
- are cooling off toward independence as they see the probable
plight the islands will be in if turned adrift in the cold sea
: of world politics and trade rivalries. Manuel Quezon; chief
agitator for freedom, is said to be hedging on the deal: and
others want some kind of protectorate continued, perhaps so
tne U. s. wiu underwrite their follies and guarantee their po
litical and financial obligations. , H -. - j
;The 6,000 Americans resident oh the islands look Ion
the Independence to come at
tion period with foreboding. Facing tariffs then on their
exports to this country, and with the uncertainties of native
locar government, most of them are said to be planning to
.withdraw from the islands. .
As time passes the Filipinos will probably be more and
more reluctant to see the stars and stripes pulled down. It

The White Headed Eagle
of Richard Montgomery:
; v "W .
(Continuing front Sunday:)
FoUowshis note: "Foof chUdren,
a boy and three girls, had been
bora to Alexander McKay and his
wife at their Sault Saint Marie
cabin. ;' - - . v
, . "When John married Margaret,
he adopted these chUdren as his
own.
"The boy Tom, who, aa a lad of
14, had gene , west with his fa
ther, was to become picturesque
character in the subsequent . his
tory of Oregon and worthy step
son to John McLoughUn. The girls
married early and remained In the
east"
(This is largely new matter.
The fact that there were three full
sisters of Cap L Tom McKay was
unknown to most writers of early
Oregon history. Or any fall sister
at alL One of the three, Margaret
McKay, was married to Lieut. Mc
Connack of the British army: an
other to Capt. McCargo, who ran a
merchant; freighter on Lake Su
perior, and the third to Chief
Trader Sinclair of the Hudson's
Bay company. Rev. John IL Frost,
of the Lea mission 'on Clatsop
plain, wrote in his Journal that
he was called to Fort George (As
toria), January 9, 1842. to offi
ciate at the marriage of Francis
Ermatlnger to Miss Catherine Sin
clair, and Frost said Ermatlnger
was a chief trader of the Hud
son's Bar company and that tha
bride was a granddaughter of Dr.
McLoughlin. She . was grand
daughter of Mrs. McLoughlin, and
a step granddaughter of the doe-
tor.)' - :..,
a
Resuming the Montgomery text:
One wonders whether John,, de
spite his admiration for Margar
et'a charm and innate wisdom,
may not hare thought twice-be
fore taking a, wife with - Indian
blood. -Saeh marriages, howerer,
were the order ot the day. They
were. In fact, the only ones. Those
early traders knew only too well
that- white girls could not stand
the rough life at far flung out
posts whereas Indian women and
half breeds knew no other. Mar
garet, with her Indian, heritage,
could follow the doctor 'wherever
he went, and he could not hare
found anywhere a more loyal or
helpful companion. Indeed she
was to prove a model of self sacri
fice and wifely devotion. . .. . Not
withstanding tha fact that Mar
garet was nine yeara John's sen
ior, she proved, from the rery
first, a devoted and understanding
companion. ... Most ot the time.
in the years immediately follow
ing her marriage, aha spent at
Fort William. . . ..By 1821,' four
children had been ; born: John,
Eliza, Eloixa and Darid. . . Eliza's
birth year Is not known, but Elol-
aa arrived in 1818 and David in
1821. . . . We hare already sug
gested that Dr. John, at the time
of his marriage, waa no stranger
to romance. Indeed his experience
with women, howerer limited it
may have been, had netted him a
half breed son named-Joseph,
Whether or not the child was le
gitimate is a moot question and
one which most writers on the
early west hare, for reasons ot
their own, evaded." (Hera Mont
gomery argues, on account ot Dr.
McLoaghlln'a high sense of jus
tice and morality, that there mast
seem in the predicament of the
stop at "Whoar
day,- more deserving of print
hare been a former marriage. He
concludes: "The boy Joseph, it
would seem, was legitimate in the
same sense as were his half-broth
ers and halt-sisters.")
a e 'a
After Mrs. McLoughlin and the
children came to Fort Vancouver,
Joe was sent for. Mrs. Dye, who in
McLoughlin and Old Oregon,'
did not mention Joe, has said that
it. was upon the insistence of Mrs.
McLoughlin that Joe, son of "the
other woman, waa sent for. The
reader has his ow'n guess. The in
ference Is either , that Margaret
was a saint in the way of a for
giving wife; or else Montgomery
is right in his conclusions
Joe lived on the Yamhill river;
had a land claim there. He was
present at the July 6, 1843, meet
ing at Champoeg, and moved the
adoption ot Article 1 of the prori
sional government constitution.
which guaranteed religious liber
ty, reading: "No. person, demean
ing himself in a peaceable and or
derly manner, shall ever be mo
lested on account of his mode of
worship or religious sentiments.'
In the official record of the pro
ceedings, his name appeared as J.
McLoughlin; so, that a few early
writers of history said Dr. John
McLoughlin was present, which,
of course, he was not.
V -a
Dr. McLoughlin's great chal
lenge and supreme opportunity
came with the move to end the
open warfare between tha forces
of the Hudson's Bay company and
the North West company, by form
ing a merger. Dr. McLoughlin was
sent to represent his company at
tha London conference. He prored
himself a statesman and a dlplo
mat la the London meetings, and
to his ability was dne tha favor
able terms secured by his North
westers in the merger, though the
name of the younger concern was
wiped out in faror ot its ancient
rival running back to the original
grant of the rast but then vague
domain called Rupert's Land.
Such a man was needed, tool
when the Jme came to make the
merger harmoniously workable.
To this task Dr. McLoaghUn de
voted himself, and perhaps no oth-
er living man could have done so
well in smoothing out the rough
places ao. that the ancient concern
with its; added responsibilities
could function without many of
serious difficulties.
His next big responsibility came
in 1824. when Dr. McLouahUa
was given the post of chief factor
on the Columbia which meant
the empire- in size west of the
Rockies. July 27, just 17 days aft
er receiving his appointment. Dr.
McLoughlin was on his way west
from York Factory, headquarters
on Hudson bay of the Hudson's
Bay company bound tor the dis
tant Oregon country. Here is a
note from Montgomery's book: jj
"At Jasper House in the heart
of the Rockies, where the party
arrived on the evening of Oct, It,
tha doctor met with an unexpected
surprise. Waiting there was his
stepson, Thomas McKay, who had
coma up from tha Columbia sev
eral days before with letters.

and Kay was still closeted with Car
iotta Vestra. She waa frightened,
but didnt know what to do. Any
course she might take in handling
this temperamental woman to bring
her out of what appeared to be an
insane rage might be the fatal one.
All she could do was talk talk

nials. .
Cariotta began by baldly accusing
her of stealing Earl Harrow. -
"But I didnt. How could IT He's
a grown man. He knew his mind.
It waa nothias' but bu&raess. Ha

I dont know what happened be-'

But it was no use. There waa no .
reasoning with her. Kar was cer
tain that aha was face to face with
a mad womanrwho might be physi- -:

get up and try to go to the door. It
might be just the needed spark. And
so it went on. around and, around,
with no reason, no loeie: enhr Ma

stantly Cariotta jumped to her feet,
standing between Kay and the door..
"I've heard enough," Kay aald
coldly. "1 dont have to listen te

"Yon dont hare to listen to any

Cariotta tore at her purse. Hei

"I cant hare him and if I cant
hare him, you cant I" Cariotta
screamed.
"Dont!" Kar cried, atarin at
the pistol. "You're insane I"
Cariotta raised the pistol, 'Its

There was a sudden, scream. A

viciously in Kay's ears. But she

woman's wrist, was tearing at her
hand with her nails, trying to dis

Carlotta's hand opened limply. "
She began to sob, great racking '
sobs that tore cruelly at her chest. -
