After weeks of negotiation, under con siderable strain, representatives of the state, the city and of Willamette university reached a harmonious agreement over the proposal to acquire the eighteen acres of ithe lyillamette university campus for addition to the present grounds owned fcy-the state. The agreement will need to be approved by PWA, adopted by the legislature, and aid to! the 'amount of $100,000 provided by the city of Salem, before it becomes final. . ! . :' ' Since the Capitol burned, much has been talked or writ ten about the new location. There is an overwhelming ma jority in favor of retaining the capital on or near its for mer location, in the center of the city. Not Only does senti ment pull the reason in that direction, but the logical argu ments are advanced that this location is easy of access to the business district, to the other state office buildings, and to principal highways. It is further urged that removal of the capitol to some distant location would disrupt property values to a considerable degree. The acquisition of the Willamette campus, if achieved, will satisfy those who want to retain the approximate old . location. The capitol .would continue in the center of things; . it would merely be moved a few feet to the south of the " former spot so as to give a little more open ground for the approach from the north. Part of it would probably rest on the bit of earth which lonsr supported the old building. "... The added space would do these things : give the new edi fice a proper setting which cannot be gained onsthe identical old location. It will also provide ground for future expan sion of tlje state capitol group, so that buildings may be erect ed as need for them arises. By providing ample ground the state will not have to erect a "monumental' and expensive capitol to house future offices; but can make provision for quarters lost by the fire with such additional offices as ap- pear to be needed in the near future. Nebraska's capitol, which is often pointed to as a model, cost $10,000,000. The estimated cost for . Oregon is only $3,500,000; so the state will not be able to get a very "grand" building for that amount of money. The university, which would thus be forced to move, would be relocated on ground of its own choosing in the Bush pasture. The trustees gave very earnest consideration to the matter of sale, and their conclusion to sell under the condi tions set forth in their reply, to the governor should satisfy alumni and friends of the university that it will not suffer seriously in making way for the state. The city of Salem,, if it can thus obtain such anchoring of the state capitol here, and such a large expenditure of money In the ensuing year or two, is fully warranted in sub scribing $100,000 to the state as a grant in aid of construc tion. This would have to be met with a bond issue, under an enabling act to be passed by the coming legislature. Such a contribution would effectively answer critics who say, "let .Salem provide the site." Salem's contribution is fully as great as should reasonably be expected of it The city's $100, 000 could provide plenty of acreage on the environs of the ' city; but it will take far more than that to give the needed land in the heart of the city. The Statesman has never felt that it should "pick the site". After the fire we concluded that we should be. satis fied if the state erected a beautiful and spacious capitol any where in the city. Various locations have much to be said . in their favor. It would be a heroic thing, for example, to take the capitol to the heights south of town which provides a sweeping view of the valley. But the solution finally ar rived at represents the general agreement of the state board of -control, the state planning board, and of the citizens com mittee of Salem. We are happy to concur in it and to endorse the plan to the people of Salem and of Oregon. We urge, therefore, a united front on the part of Salem people to pre sent this plan successfully to the legislature and to the people of the state, and when the time comes to give hearty approval of the contribution required. Coquille Vigilantes EVEN-HANDED justice must condemn use of violence by employer groups or in their interest the same as it con demns use of violence by laboring groups or in their interest. Thus the vigilante methods invoked at Coquille to prevent holding of an assembly justifies Gov. Martin in assuring to organized labor the protection of the law as he has prom- - ised protection to workers desiring to work without molesta tion. .It is not a matter of sympathy with one side or the other in an industrial dispute. It is a matter of the preserva tion of civil liberties. The sooner the agency of the state ' makes it clear to both parties that law and order must and - will prevail, the sooner violence will come to an end. At Coquille union organizers sought to hold a meeting, which it is p resumed, was to be a peaceable assembly. They have a constitutional right to assemble; and the strong-arm tactics of those hostile to their purposes cannot be condoned. Peace officers have a duty to seek out the vigilantes as they have to seek out the strong-aimsquad of a group of strikers. The answer to injustice is not more injustice. The an swer to violence is not more violence. The law should not be bent to favor one group over another. Members of the board ot gov ernors of the Oregon state bar will meet In Salem today to or ganise.. The board is composed of nine governors, three from each congressional district. - The governors were elected un der -a law enacted by the 1936 legislature. , Governors from' the first dis trict are Judge James T. Brand, Marshf leld ; Allan Carson, Salem, and Oscar Hayter, Dallas. A. A. Smith, Baker; Harvey DeArmond, Bend and Colon R. Eberhard, La Grande, are the second district. Governors trom the third district Multnomah county, are Nicholas Jauregay, Robert S. Magnire and Arthur M. Geary, all of Portland. , Employment of a paid secretary will probably be discussed by the board at today's meeting. - Plant New Rose ; At Martin Home The new rose Caacadla, propa gated in- Portland and dedicated to Governor 'Martin by the Royal Rosarians at the state fairgrounds last Thursday afternoon, was yes terday planted at Governor Mar tin's residence .grounds here. Th-e bush was placed near one end ot the east side of the home.

KENT Copyright 1933, fcy no Baltimore Ess - Swollen Pay Rolls - S - ? " Washington, Sept. . ONE ot the real dangers, in a democracy is the growth ot the governmental machine. This has . been ; recognis ed by all clear- ' headedmen from the begin ning of our his tory, and there hare been few campaigns in - which the ten dency of the Federal em ploye! to in crease, multi ply and expand in- tixe and power, has frank x. Seat not been " de nounced. THE Democratic party In particu lar has consistently set' its face against this expansion. Resistance to the enlargement of the Feder al machine and the extension of the Federal authority for genera tions has been one of its basic tenets. In view of this, the figures revealed in Washington yesterday of the present status of the Fed eral pay roll may be Interesting to people generaUy. At any rate, they should be. IT is shown, for example, that in the three months from May 1 to August 1 of this year, 19,792 new jobholders have been placed on the pay roll. This swells the grand total to 730,000, which compares with 560,000 in March, 1933. In other word3, in less than two and a half years of the Roosevelt Ad ministration there has been an in crease of 170,000. This, of course, does not Include the large army estimated to exceed 50,000 of part-time employes of the Depart ment of Agriculture, nor the 500, 000 "special" employes enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps. The first have Jumped more than 7,000 and the second 135.000 in tie past three months. If they were added in, the gross number ot civilians on the pay roll would be about 1,300,000. BUT leaving these out, there are 170,000 more people drawing reg ular pay as employes from the Government today than there were in May, 1933. More are go ing on very day. The distribution of the fonr billion dollars appro priated by Congress for work re lief involves the setting up of a vast and elaborate machine man- rned by new employes. That sec tion directed by the starry-eyed, young Professor Tugwell alone has more than 9,000. on its pay roll. When the full number of new employes necessitated by the work relief machine, plus the var ious new boards and commissions created by the last Congress are on, it is estimated that by Janu ary the total, leaving out the CCC and half-time AAA boys, wiU ex ceed 750,000 or a net increase in the regular full-time civilian job-holders of more than 181,000 since Mr. Roosevelt came in. It may be more than that; it cannot well be less. THERE are two significant things about this situation. One is that practically all of the new Jobhold ers have been chosen without re gard to the Merit System, which means that they have been named through the politicians. The dis regard of the Civil Service system is almost complete, which Is the surest way to promote waste and inefficiency. The other Interesting feature Is the additional cost. That is hard to estimate, but the July pay roll of the executive branch was $112,000,000 without counting the $13,000,000 required to pay the CCC. If to the number of 730,000 bona fide and regular pay-roll employes, there are add ed the 5,000,000 on relief or pub lic works, the 2.750.000 receiving checks for reducing crops or for veteran benefits, this 500.000 in the CCC, you get a really stupen dous total of people who are re ceiving money directly from the Government. The contention that more than one-sixth of the popula tion is being supported by the Government seems borne out by the figures. IT IS impossible when one sur veys this spectacular increase in the number of Federal jobholders and increase in Federal functions not to recall that It was Mr. Roos evelt who, on September 29, 1932, in a speech at Sioux City. Iowa, said this: "Later In the campaign I propose to analyse the enormous increase in the growth of the Fed eral bureaucracy. We are not get ting an adequate return for the money we are spending in Wash ington. Or. to put it another way. w are spending altogether too much money for Government ser vices which are neither practical nor necessary. In addition to this. we are attempting too many func tions and we need a simplification of what the Federal Government is giving the people.

HENDRICKS How Sheridan broke ' 5 up a take camp meeting: -:'-V- W V -Ti . '. .n 5- "Second Lieutenant PhU "Sher idan, during his service la Oregon, April, 1856, to September, 1861, fighting and guarding Indians, saw a good many camp meetings, and respected their evangelistic spirit. That was a time of flourishing camp meetings of different de nominations In the pioneer Ore god country. V But, as major general com manding the forces that had driv en the armies of General Jubal Early out of the-Shenandoah val ley and thus made the nation's capital safe, which it had not been up to that time since the begin ning of the Civil war, General Sheridan ran into a fake camp meeting in West Virginia tor which he had no respect, and so planned to have it broken up. V H Sheridan was in winter quar ters at Winchester, Virginia. He had sent most of his forces to Grant, before Petersburg and Vicksburg. He wrote in his Mem oirs of the matter above referred to the fake camp meeting. His words follow: f "On account of this diminution of force, it became necessary for me to keep thoroughly posted in regard to the enemy. "I now realized more than I had done hitherto how efficiently my scouts had become Blnce under the control of Colonel Young; for not only did they bring me almost ev ery day intelligence from within Early's lines, but they also oper ated against the guerillas infest ing West Virginia. (Col. Young was one of the most noted ot aU Civil war scouts, or spies. General Sheridan liked to call them scouts.) s "Harry Gilmore of Maryland was the most noted of these since the death of McNeil, and as the. scouts had reported him in Har risonburg (Virginia) the latter part of January (1865), I directed two of the most trustworthy to be se.nt to watch his movements and ascertain his purposes. "In a few days these spies re turned with the intelligence that Gilmore was on his way to Moore field, the center of a very disloyal section of West Virginia, about 90 miles southwest of Winchester, where, under the guise of a CAMP MEETING, a gathering was to take place, at which he expected to enlist a number of men, be joined by a party of about 20 recruits from Maryland, and then begin depradations along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. m m "Believing that Gilmore might be captured, I directed Young to undertake the task, and, as a pre liminary step, he sent to Moore- field two of his men who early In the war had 'refugeed' from that section and enlisted in one of the Union regiments from West Vir ginia. "In about a week these men came back and reported that Gil more was living at a house be tween three and four miles from Moorefield, and gave full partic ulars as to his coming and going, the nnmber of men he had about there and where they rendez voused. "With this knowledge at hand I directed Young to take 20 of his best men and leave that night for Moorefield, dressed in Confeder ate uniforms, telling him that I would have about 300 cavalry fol low in his wake when he had got about 15 miles start, and instruct ing him to pass his party off as a body of recruita for Gilmore com ing from Maryland and pursued by the Yankee cavalry. m "b I knew this would allay suspi cion, and provide him help on the road; and, indeed, as Colonel Whittaker. who alone knew the secret, followed after the fleeing 'Marylanders, he found that their advent Bad caused so little remark Daily Health Talks 3y ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States senator from New York Former CommUtioner of Health, New York City RAPID STRIDES have been made la the treatment and prevention of disease. Victims of many heretofore incurable diseases are now assured ot recovery. But ther remains af fliction ot mankind that continue to baffle medical science. For many centuries epilepsy was considered a hopeless affliction. Be Uevinsr the sufferer to be possessed ot evil spirits, the ancients avoided the victims of thla disease. Of course, this attitude has no piae In modern life becauss the true nature of the disorder is better understood. Epilepsy must not be confused with con rola Ions. ConvulsioM tn children and adults closely resemble epilepsy, but the attacks differ from it in form and severity. Leans the faase Convulsions in children can often be traced to a disorder like chronic constipation, rickets, undernourish ment or some Infections disease. In adults the attack ts often due to hysteria or soma disturbance of the central nervous system. Complete rare is possible when -the cause lal determined and radicated. Bat persistent and repeated at tacks of epilepsy, with or without con vulslons, is a more serious problem. It i no longer regarded as a hope less affliction, but it does require pro longed medical observation and care. The attacks are usually doe to ir ritation and change In the mem branes coverlnj the brain. : It may be due to Inflammation, hemorrhage, tumor or Infection of the brain. ; As a rate epilepsy can.

V ; "Reaching the designated place about 12 o'clock on the night ot the 5 th of February, Young, under the representation that he had come directly from Maryland and was being pursued by Union car airy, gained immediate access to Gilmore's room. "He found the bold guerrilla snugly tucked in bed, with two pistols lying on a chair near by. "He was sleeping so soundly that to arouse him Young had to give him a violent shake. V m "As he awoke and asked who Young, pointing at him a cocked six-shooter, ordered -him to dress without delay, and in answer to his inquiry informed him that he was a prisoner to one of Sheri dan's staff. "Meanwhile Gilmore's men had learned of his trouble, but the ear ly appearance of Colonel Whitta ker caused them to disperse; thus the last link between Maryland and the Confederacy was. carried a prisoner to Winchester, whence he was sent to Fort Warren. S S "The capture of Gilmore caused the disbandment ot the party he had organized at the 'CAMP MEETING,' the most of the men he had recruited returning to their homes discouraged." The title of Young was chief of scouts. He was Major H. K. Young, U. S. army. After the last battles ot the Civil war, Sheridan was sent to have charge of the southwest territory in the early reconstruction period. He took with him Major Young and four of his most trusty men, Young became mixed up with the Mexican troubles, part of which resulted in the execution ot "Em peror'' Maximilian in 1867. Young took sides, against the Maximilian sympathizers, and in attempting to lead a small force to the aid of those supporting the Mexican republic, he was killed. The Maximilian usurpers had been supported by the help and sympathy of the Confederates. Sheridan sympathised with the Mexican republic, but he advised Young against his desperate un dertaking, though, at a period ot his project, shortly before his death, Sheridan supplied him money from his own pocket, to supply a pressing need, for the Bake of their long friendship.

Their skiff Is mysteriously set adrift and their clothes stolen, ret there is no other sign of a living human at first. Intermittently, however, blood-curdling cries come from the jungle. The mystery deepens with the finding of a well kept . though deserted plantation. They take refuge in a small house there. That sight, Linda's slip is tors off her by soma unseen crea ture and again the eerie scream is heard. Trf", frightened, insists that Jerome stay near her. The mystery of the night prowlers and stolen clothing clears with the ap pearance of a mother and father gorilla and their cob, and still an other hairy monster decked out to Jerome's shirt. Jerome recites poetry and feeds the animals sugar water to keep them from getting vicious. The dislike which Linda and Jerome had for one another changes to admiration for each other's courage in the face of real danger. Exploring the KrovniB. they discover a strange tree, foil of luscious fruit, attached to the trunk of which is a sign reading in Span ish: "Any person landing here is forbidden to touch the froit of this tree under penalty of punishment the most severe. El Dneno." CHAPTER XVII Jerome went on: "This tree Is the only thing the Dueno has both ered to post. There's a pretty vigor mi threat in the way he's worded it He doesn't say, 'Will be prose cuted by the law out nana is out straight, 'Severely punished, liter ally, terribly punished.' An idea seized her. "Maybe It's deadly poison." - fc "It's say that it is. You cant ro ramming through a jungle eat- tag w iwu But both knew in their hearts that thera was no such dansrer. On the contrary there was to this fruit a sort ox beneficent promise as ox aomethins' not only delicious and refreshing and exquisite of flavor, but a tonic, wholesome, strength bestowinsr Quality like a luscious melon in an arid, stifling desert. Linda advanced another argu ment: "He's gone off and left it just as it is ripening. Wouldn't it be better to gather it and put it in a cool place?" "It would be better to leave it alone entirely," Jerome said stern ly. Thourh Linda disregarded the curious analogy to the earliest his torical record ox the nrat human tragedy Jerome could not get away from it Whether because his mind was better brained, more discerning, or because from a long line of sea faring ancestors, he had inherited his snare of sailor superstition which is actually distorted religion. He was struck through with awe over the correspondence here. Fragments of the book of Genesis nassed thronrh his mind. ... lie waa about to drag her from the place by force if necessary when there came an interruption. It was about time xor Papa Go rilla a afternoon can and in the ex citement of their discovery they had forgotten about it Now in the height of the argument aa to the violation of the forbidden tree, Linda facing the house saw the srreat lrute boundinsr toward them through the thicket. He waa fol lowed by the deb who hitherto had shows herself coy .and retiring. "Look I" Linda tried sharpJy. Despite his great bulk and the fact that he waa bounding toward them the gorilla s approach w noiseless. Jerome spun about at the look of fright on Linda's face. He saw that something had altered the friendly and rather jolly rela tionship that op to vow had been enjoyed. Papa Gorilla was evidently in a state of aeute excitement He was emitting growls and dicks and dockings aa- he sped, alona. and these now became audible. They STATTON, Sept. 9 What might have been a very serious accident occurred Saturday night at about 11:30 a half mile east ot Jordan on the Jordan-Lyons road, when a car driven by Gor don Shields, collided with a car driven by Mike Schwindt of Jor dan. Shields had with him Mr. and Mrs. Val Gardner, Miss Jean Inglis, Milton Bell and Gerald Marking, and Schwindt was ' ac companied by Miss Rose Silberna gel of Jordan. Both cars were badly wrecked, the Shields car, a new coach, hav ing the body wrecked beyond re pair. Shields suffered head injur ies, as did also Mrs. Gardner, who also has a broken arm; Gardner was injured in the side and Miss Inglis has a broken pelvis. Mark ing was badly cut about the head. All were brought to the Stayton hospital and Dr. Brewer and Dr. Betxger called. Schwindt and Miss Silbernagel were the least hart of any, though all were taken to the hospital. Reports from the hos pital Monday were that all were considered improving and not in serious danger. Schwindt's car was piled on top of the Shields car. Rev. F.

The - huge brute exhibited every i symptom of anger and also of fear. The deb began to chatter. ; She also was distressed, r 1 j -:,;?! As ; the formidable nalr : came dose, Jerome realised his otter helplessness and complete futility. He waa emptr-hawded. which made slight difference unless provided with a heavy firearm. He knew no word of command.: For a moment it looked as if the big apes meant to hurl themselves on Linda and himself and tear them to pieces. J erome knew ' instinctively what that reason was. The pair might not only be objects of scientific ex periment to develop their intelli gence bat had been trained as care takers of this part of the planta tion. .; .:-,..l!--r,.r- There was no thin to do but wait what looked like a charge. .Glanc ing at Linda, Jerome saw she was white as sea foam. .

He shredded the tough creeper n his powerful hands as that it-left a piece about five feet long. He flailed about with this like man alsshine; round him with a whip. He reminded Jerome of a Zulu head boy in a safari about to discipline the lagging porters with a shambok or Boer whip. "Wow I" ha exclaimed to Linda, "if he starts to flog us with that thing we're done- in." She did not answer. Their course took them obliqudy toward the ex cited gorillas and they did not swerve away from it This advance seemed to confuse the big ape and to reassure him.

The contortions of his- f ace became less agonized and his dose set eyes under their penthouse , b r o w a stopped their roiling; Several yards behind him the deb crouched down as if awaiting further orders. Jerome began a steady patter of talk in the recitative voice ha had already found grateful to the go-. rilla. He fell back on the rhyme of the Nancy Bell that by this time may have begun to sound familiar and therefore reassuring. Linda joined in her own soothing voice Papa Gorilla suddenly flung aside the liana as if with a gesture of relief that he no longer felt com pelled to use it One might have thought ha had been working him self up to the necessary frenzy. He straightened himself to his full height, clinched a fist that was appalling', inflated his tremendous chest, and began to beat upon it no- This great drum was what had ter rified them the night ef his first visit But it waa not followed by the former bellowing. The change wrought was of the sort peculiar to the Simian species; aa abrupt-cessation from the action prompted by one idea. Perhaps in the sundew lack of the motive that had nremot- ed it this became forgotten. Mon keys do not seem able to carry on. a sustained line of conduct when distracted from its effort.- It is as if their minds were suddenly de railed.
