. fpHE theory of the adoption
X in the work relief bill is that paying less tnan the going
wage will bring prevailing scales down to the government
. levels. The president's theory in proposing a $50 a month
wage was that the higher wages in private industry would
as industry revived attract workers from government pro
jects so the government could taper off its work relief pro
gram. Another theory which is gaining headway among the
social reformers is that everyone should enjoy a g6od living,
even at government expense. The abundant life: Should be
distributed all round: and if individuals cannot obtain it for
themselves then the government should tax the more pros
perous to enforce the distribution. .
f 1 The answer to the question depends on whether you
want to restore the old system of individual enterprise and
,. responsibility or go to socialism. If the former, then the
work relief is temporary and wages should be at low levels to
provide little more than subsistence. If you think we should
move into socialism, then wages

- State Police and Strikes
THERE is good reason for removing the prohibition of
use of the state police in strikes. Unless strikers desire
to use jungle methods of violence in their disputes there
.should be no objection to the
enforcing agents. There ought to be no distinction in classes
ycf law violations where enforcing officers will work. We do
not desire the use of state police as cossacks; but the Port'

After leaving the Snake,' the
route for the starving, band was
up Burnt river. They had secured
from Indians five jaded and half
starved horses to - carry part ot
the baggage. The general route
that foUowed led not far from
the present railroad from Hunt
ington to the western foot of the
Blue mountains. As starvation
faced them,- horses - were killed;
the ration was one meal In 24
hours.. Says the Defenback ac
count: . .
"The description of the coun
try reached on the 28th, with Its
'small stream .winding to the
north through a fine narrow val
ley with mountains receding on
either side suggests the Powder
valley, and an encampment was
made somewhat north of (the
site of) the city ot Baker. They
continued along this valley for
21 miles on the 29th, through a
steady fall ot snow mingled with
rain.
"On setting out the morning of
December 30th, the halt-breed ap
proached Hunt with the state
ment that the . family would be
delayed tor a short time, and the
suggestion that the .party con
tinue on its way. 'We catch up
with you pretty soon,' he added.
"The event was, ot course, not
at all unexpected, yet the men of
the wretched band contemplated
her abandonment in great per
plexity. Every one of the plucky
chaps admired this heroic squaw.
Her patience and dogged resolu
tion had gained her their respect
and affection. They would ra
ther go into camp, they said, and
wait until she should be able to
continue the journey. But Pierre
seemed entirely unconcerned, as
suring the leader that the fam
ily would soon overtake the oth
ers. With this new cause for de
spondency the unhappy crew went
on, leaving the woman " and her
family in camp a short distance
north of the present location of
North Powder.

"Next morning when Hunt
sounded reveille, the French
man laughed at him. 'No travel

eh? January 1, 1812.' It's a poor

the colony at Astoria; remaining
there in comparative! idleness,
comfort and safety for more than
a year. But, as intimated else
where, the Dorion woman ' was
not through with the Snake. It
was arranged. In 1911, that John
Reed of the Astor expedition
should take a party into the up
per waters of the Snake for the
purpose of gathering i in several
Astor trappers who were wander
ing in the wilderness; it was
planned further that he ahould
locate on some stream along the
original Hunt route, ; secure as
many skins as he could., and be
picked up the following summer
by one of the parties from As
toria on its way to St Louis.
Reed was described as "an hon
est Irishman of impetuous tem
per and questionable judgment"
Here Defenbach is again quoted:
"Reed's party consisted of him
self, the morose half-breed squaw
man Delaunay, LeClerc, Turcotte,
Chapelle, Pierre Dorion, tho
woman, and the boys Baptists and
Paul, now aged respectively 7
and 4. Yes, the Dorions were go
ing with Reed. One would think
they had had enough Snake river
to last them the rest ot their
lives. But no; they went with
Reed."
They accompanied one of the
larger detachments up the C Co
lumbia as far as the mouth of the
Umatilla; up the Snake to where
Lewiston now stands, thence up
the Clearwater and over Into the
Salmon, arriving at the mouth of
the Weiser about the middle of
August, 1813; thence proceeding
up the north bank of the Snake
to Its confluence with the Boise,
they followed along the north
shore of the latter stream a short
distance.

CHAPTER III .
For the second time the outer
door opened to admit a woman from
the world of leisure. This time the
interest of the personnel was real
and respectful. Laura Ingram was
no such, frequent visitor as Als
pangh's wife, and there was not a
lowly file clerk who was ignorant
of her social prestige and import
ance. Though her complexion appeared
faded and faintly lined, her fea
tures were regular and she had tri
umphantly preserved her figure.
Her most youthful attribute, how
ever, was her dark-gold hair, as
abundant and as lustrous now as on
the day of her wedding.
She entered her husband's office
Jar more simply than had Marian
Ahrpaugh. In a low voice she
asked if Mr. Ingram had anyone
with him and being answered in the
negative, said, "111 go right in,
then.
-Alspaugh hurried, to open the
doer for her. "Let me show yon
in, Mrs. Ingram! And good after
noon! It isn't often we have the
pleasure of seeing yon here."
"Oh, it's Mr Alspaugh. J
Her hesitation before the name was
barely perceptible. "How are you?"
Marian's piquant face appeared
behind her husband's shoulders. "I
do hope yon haven't forgotten me
completely, Mrs. Ingram 1 I'm Mrs.
Alspaugh. I was introduced to you
at the polo game, when Mr. Seward
played so marvellously
"Why, of courser Laura In
gram's voice warmed at the men-!
tion of her son. "I remember you
perfectly. It's so nice to see you
again!"
She hesitated, her eyes drifting
coTertly up and down Marian's at
tractive figure. "I wonder if you'd
care to Have you an engagement
for tomorrow afternoon?"
"Oh, no!"
"""We're giving a sort of garden
party for charity," Laura Ingram
explained carefully as if Marian
didn't know all about it, hadnt
known for weeks and longed, with
out hope, te receive an invitation.
"We're ha ring all sorts of fea
tures, outdoor theatricals, fortune
telling, treasure hunting and a
mystery trip things like that, you
know. It occurred to me you might
care to come and sell cigarettes.
"Oh. Mrs. Ineram. I should love
it!" Marian gasped. "What must
X wearl"
"Any little fantastic costume rou
may have or just a pretty summer
frock. You'll have a tray, of
course, with ribbons over your
shoulders and mind you make
your customers pay well for their
cigarettes I"
She went on into the private of
fice, with a gracious nod of fare
well.
"I've lust asked that little Mrs.
Alspaugh to sell cigarettes for us
tomorrow. She's exactly the true
to wheedle men. I shouldn't be sur
prised if she takes in more money
than Rose and Mabel together.
You're looking very abstracted,
Jasper! Had vou forrotten that I
told you I should call for yon at
four, that you positively promised
to put in aa appearance with me at
Ruth Bartlett's, to meet that Span
ish Infanta of hers?"
"Did I say I'd do that?" Inrram
got to his feet reluctantly, blinking
away thoughts of business. "If I
did, I suppose III have to make
good. But I feel right now as if I
could worry along contentedly for

was the coolly selected instrument
of a purpose he had at heart
When he decided to marry, he
proposed to Laura Seward for what
seemed to him a number of good
reasons. She was handsome and
apparently healthy, she had a schol
arly background, and he had read
somewhere that a child derives its
intellectual equipment mainly from
its mother. Great men, he had
heard, have, as a rule, remarkable
mothers ana mediocre sons.
Marriage opened his eyes to the
fact that Laura's health was not
altogether sound, and that the pli
ability and sweetness and disposi
tion she had shown during court
ship masked a disposition that was
not entirely angelic. He had naive
ly tested her for love of children
and joyfully given her high marks
on her responses, but with the birth
of Seward, she refused to have an
other child.
Seward thus was an only child,
but surprisingly enough, he was a
charming boy, popular at prep
school and college and now shame
lessly run after by half the girls on
Long Island.
Ingram, somehow, had never
been able to get close to his son.'
As Seward grew older and heard
certain rumors about his father and
other women, the gulf between the
two widened and the boy became
a violent partisan of his mother.
So it was he entered a period of
cynicism and disillusionment in
which she alone retained his rev
erence. -

were found dead February 11. "
Two bullet holes, accounting
for the two shots of' the five fired,
were also found, one at the head
ot the bed in the footboard and
the other 4 feet from the floor
In the side ot the wall near the
bedroom window.
Bruno, the dog to which the
note refers, was found alive in
the house but there was blood on
his neck. At the time it was
thought he had gotten the blood
from the two dead bodies, but
now it is supposed attempt had
been made to shoot him in the
neck also, as Mr. and Mrs, Dahlen
had been shot
. An Inquest was held following
the" finding of the two bodies and
a coroner's Jury reported that
both, had been killed, by shots
fired by Mr. Dahlen. At that time
there was no indication of a sui
cide pact.

all the forms of respect, unlimited '

with her schemes that required his
assistance, - Social ambition, sup
plying her with an occupation, gave
her something to think about and
work for.
While Ingram mused silently of
mergers and stock manipulations,
she thought now about the Infanta,
second cousin to ex-King Alfonso,
whom a rival hostess, widow of a
former Ambassador to Spain, was
entertaining. -Laura had tried to
secure this lady for tomorrow, but
Ruth - Bartlett was whirling - her -prize
to Bar Harbor. After all
however, she reflected, the princess
was only a pious, middle-aged
woman with a moustache, heavy so
cially and physically : let Ruth keep
v
her, although, of course, it sounded
awfully well to have an Infanta
staying with you.
It developed, when the In grams
had joined the party on the Bartlett
terrace, that only a few ef the
more intimate members of Dona
Josepha's entourage were going
with her to Maine, The Marques
d'AIhues y Silva, certainly the most
attractive member of her party,
was to remain at loose ends in New
York.
"But then, I am enchanted with
your New York," he told Mrs. In
gram, "your so beautiful women
and so many cars, your sky-'
scratchers such as we have not in
Spain. What is Bar Harbor but
another San Sebastian? and that
is an old story."
"You don't find it frightfully hot
in town?" asked Mrs. Ingram.
"Heat does not incommode me,
Senora on the contrary. After
the revolution we went first to Eng
land. B-r-r. I still carry the chill
of that England in my bones!"
He had a charming laugh that
broke the classic lines of his face
into boyish curves and showed
teeth, startlingiy white in contrast
to his general swarthiness.
"Won't you come to us tomor
row. Marques?" Laura begged.
"We will promise not to freeze you,
and you might be amused."
"I shall be most happy, he as
sured her, and gazed aoulf ully into
her eyes as he kissed her hand in
