Capitol
, finHE Oregonian is having a bad attack of editorial shingles
JL relative to the pew capitol program. Thus far it hasn't
v. . gotten down to a $250,000 log cabin; bat it conjures
'visions of state extravagance which is not contemplated by
; - the governor, the legislature, or by citizens of the state. Gov.
. Martin has bluntly said this would be a practical building,
built to conform with the Oregon tradition, a building of con
servative beauty and dignity, symbolical of the state. "No
gold spittoons or sflver chandeliers", said the governor.
If the legislature should carry out the program set out
in the governor's message the total cost to the state would be
. - $1,925,000 in collaboration with federal funds plus as much
as was necessary to acquire additional ground, a total of not
to exceed 12,650,000. With that expenditure it would get a
- capitol at about half the average cost of capitol developments
of other states in the past 25 years. Can such a program be
- charged with being a "splurge"?
- . Itis in fact a very reasonable program, taking account of
' the present financial conditions. It omits a state library
whose needs are pressing for more space. It omits a state of
fice building to accommodate overgrown departments and
" those to be created under o. a. p. and social security leeisla-
. tion.
- . The old capitol has burned; a new one must be built to
replace it. It is surely .wise economy to plan the development
now so that there may be no eventual waste through blunders
. in location or design. The fire gives an opportunity, not want-
: ed at this time, but now thrust upon the state, to lay out its
program for the future, building-tmly the major structure
now, at a very reasonable outlay; and leaving tothe future
the completion of the development as times improve and
, necessities grow moreurgent.
.To get a new and attractive capitol with no burden of
, bond debt, and the building all paid for in three years will be
; an achievement which should mark the builders as wise fi
nanciers, as the eminent Oregonian must agree.

Write-up, First Class
Anew idea of money-spending has been developed under the
beneficence of WPA in Washington. Henry G. Alsberg,
" director of federal writers? projects, has written us about
. it. It is the, preparation of the "American Guide". A staff of
workers will be engaged for the coming months working out
of every city of 10,000 or more people gathering detailed in
. formation on the scenic, historic and industrial interests and
possibilities.
All of this material will be assembled and will amount to
- five volumes of 600 pages each. The information about local
ities will be left for use in preparing local guides.
, Mr. Alsberg suggests that the guide can be used with
f local tourists:
t "To make access to each community easy and pleasurable
for strangers doubtless your city's restaurants, hotels, board-
Ins houses and commercial establishments would welcome tran
- sient customers from out of town the Guide wlU outline sight
, seeing tours especially designed to accommodate them."
The data will be compiled by local unemployed people
. as far as possible ; but Mr. Alsberg says the cultural and bus-
in ess leaders of the city must cooperate with the workers to
-i make the studies thorough-going. He wants to know if this
publication will cooperate "in giving your city a first class
. write-up."
' . That's asking a good deal of any first class newspaper to
give its home town a first class write-up. But most of them
will no doubt be willing to give a second-class write-up. We're
." glad to give this new adventure in boondoggling a first class
write-up, so as to inform unemployed local writers that Santa
Claus fs just round the corner.
V Murder Mysteries
A murder mystery may be as dark as a cave ; then of a sud
den light breaks.
That is the way it appears to have happened with the
.massacre at the summer home near Bremerton where six per
sons were found murdered after a bloody battle. And the un
raveling of that mystery supplied threads which now ex
plain the murder of Aiken in Portland. In the former case
. mere greed appears to have been the motive; in the latter
revenge so deadly it hired a gunman to do the job. True, no
one has been convicted yet; but the web of evidence is so
closely woven that the mysteries are well on the way to so-
lution. ,
These crimes have baffled detectives for months. But
while the public dropped the cases out-of mind soon after
their first publicity the officers brooded over them. Their
memories were relentless. Always thera remained hope that
some clues would appear, someone would talk. Finally it
, happened. And, as is often the case, a woman talked, a sor
ry, sordid tale of that shadowy world, of that twilight zone
just outside the realm of orderly society. Bootlegging, thiev-
ing shifts in jail or prison, and finally murder, murder
and a guilty conscience.
"Murder will out." Time, which erases many memor
ies, makes the guilty less vigilant. Give the detectives time,
and few are the homicides they will not solve, few the mur
ders they will not ferret out
This steady pressure of law enforcement agencies against
L the criminal classes, this -relentless search for the guilty is
all that protects society from the ravages of those who deride
law and hold life in contempt.
Salem and the Capitol
AS Mrs. Sackett said at the public hearing Friday night,
Salem has an interest and a responsibility in the matter
of the capitol. We have to live with it day by day. Some
. hundreds of our citizens work in it from year to year. It is
the center of the city's life and should be the center of its ar
chitectural development
. Citizens of Salem have from" the first recognized that
they may be called on for special contribution to the state if
additional and now costly land is required. In negotiating
" with the state and with Willamette the city representatives
have definitely indicated a willingness to aid the state in the
pu rchase. In order to bridge the gap it made, subject of course
to approval of the "voters, a proposal of contributing to the
state 125,000. Governor Martin says that is insufficient;
and has fixed tie amount ofSalem's contribution at $250,000.
This is a large sum, greatly in excess of what was antici
pated would be regarded as a generous offer. But since the
governor and legislature insist on that amount although the
; legislature has yatto" act, the city of Salem must make every
effort to comply.
s - - There is a limit of course, to what the cdmmunity can do.
-. We can't build the whole capitoL When land is needed for ad
ditional campus at the university or the state college or the
state normal schools the state in the past has put np all the
money. But Salem should meet the challenge which is now
.: "made ; and organize its efforts to provide np. to $250,000 if
the legislature finally decides to acquire additional acreage
such as the Willamette campus adjacent to the present site.

Referenda Facts
- Washington, Oct. 28.
In Tiew of the approaching corn
hog referendum on Saturday, It is
perhaps Interesting to recite the
facts concerning - the four AAA
referenda already held each of
which, of course, resulted in a
large favoring majority for the
previously determined AAA -policy.
......
A RELEASE of the AAA dated
June 14. 1935, shows that In these
four 'elections" there were a ' to
tal of 2,918,678 rotes, cast as fol
lows: Program For Against
Corn-Hog ... 374.585 161,105
Cotton act ..1,361,347 100,540
Tobacco act . 370,907 23.633
Wheat 404.270 62,291
The total vote for and against
W&8
Corn-Hog 535.69C
Cotton act 1,521,887
Tobacco act 394,540
Wheat 466,561
Total 2.918.578
NOW the deductions from these
figures are not without signifi
cance. According to the 1930 cen
sus, there were
6. 2 9 7, 8 7 7
farms In the
United States
T h e r efore, it
seems that only
a little over 46
! - v l'i Per cent of all
I W V i f 1 the farmers
hare ever rot-
ed In all the so-
called agricul
tural referen
da. This makes
no allowances
for d u d 1 1 c a-
Frui B. wrt tions by yoters
In more than one referendum.
Deducting the 1,521.887 TOtefs on
the cotton act, there were only
1,396.791 farmers who Toted in
the other three programs all told
The large vote on the cotton act
is explained by the fact that not
only did the tenant farmers rote
but the exemption of the two-bale
producers from the tax was an
inducement that made them nn
animously favorable.
THUS, after all the administra
tion ballyhoo, all the proselyting
by the county agents and commit
tees, and all the propaganda oral
and written, plus the bait of the
government checks, the total vote
on corn-hog, tobacco and. wheat is
not impressive. Exact figures are
not available as to the total num
ber of farmers engaged In the
corn-hog business, but in 1930
there were 1.9122,120 farmers in
the nine northern central states
Indiana, Illinois,' Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri.
Nebraska and Kansas. It is con
servative to estimate the corn-hog
producers of the nation at well
over 2.000,000. A total vote,
therefore, of 374,585 after an in
tensive campaign conducted by an
extraordinarily effective organiza
tion, and with no opposition, is
not a showing about which to
grow excited. AAA directors know
this and are making a great ef
fort to get a larger vote on Satur
day. HOWEVER, to the average man,
not a farmer, the most interest
ing thing about these referenda
figures is the fact that there
should have been any adverse
vote at all. A total of 407.569
farmers or about one-seventh of
the wbole actually voted against
the proposals. . If you eliminate
the cotton vote, which should be
eliminated, then one-fifth of the
farmers voted against lhe corn
hog, wheat and tobacco proposals.
If you take the corn-hog vote by
itself, then more than one-fourth
of those who cast ballots voted
against it.
THE question is why did any
corn-hog farmer vote against it?
By reducing the production of
hogs and corn the AAA raised the
price of these things. To gain the
cooperation of the corn-hog farm
er it paid him 35 cents a bushel
for the corn and $15 apiece for
the'bogs he refrained from rais
ing. There are arguments and
sound ones why this plan in the
long run will be disastrous to the
people as a whole, Including the
farmer, but these arguments did
not get to the farmer. Nobody
made them. On the contrary, he
was drenched with reasons prov
ing its extreme merit. It 4s, when
the facts are considered, very re
markable that 'these 407,569
farmers should- have opposed the
AAA program, refused to indorse
its policies. It seems to mean that
despite the "gentle rain of
checks", ai least a certain number
of farmers are not for AAA. All
of which makes Saturday's corn
hog referendum more Interesting.
The administration Is counting
upon an overwhelming vote. Cer
tainly it has left no stone unturn-
to insure one.

Present session of .
Oregon legislature is
like coming back home:
(Continuing- from Sunday:)
What about the relationship of
Willamette university and its cam
pus to the reasons for the special
session of the Oregon legislature?
' This matter Is worth examina
tion. Willamette university was con
ceived in the fertile brain of Jason
Lee. At the founding of the school
that by change, of name became
Willamette university he propos
ed that It be called the Oregon In
stitute. He desired especially to
have the 'word Oregon in the
name.
' The direct origin of the historic
school goes back to a fund of $650
subscribed on the Lausanne as
that Mayflower of the Pacific
sailed its tedious way in 1839-40
on its 13,000-odd mile journey
half around the world toward the
Oregon country, carrying the lar
gest missionary body that up to
the time had ever left any port
for a "foreign" shore.
The 1650 nucleus, all but $20
of it subscribed by the Methodist
missionaries on the vessel, was
proposed as a nucleus for, primar
ily, a school for white children.
The extra $20 was subscribed by
Sheldon Dibble, American Board
missionary, passenger, on his way
to Hawaii.
The next definite step was a
meeting at the mission house, the
home and headquarters of Jason
Lee, now 960 Broadway, Salem,
still standing the first residence
for whites erected on the site of
Salem; built In 1840-41. That pre
liminary meeting, held Jan. 17.
1842, was adjourned for further
action to the old mission, 10 miles
north, on February 1, 1842.
At the adjourned .meeting, the
Oregon Institute was organized,
trustees chosen and committees
named to proceed with the work
of choosing a site, gathering fur
ther subscriptions and erecting a
building.
Choice of location fell upon
.Wallace prafrie, about three miles
north northeast from the Lee
mission house on the site of
Salem. The building site was to be
the exact spot on which the Astor
expedition had erected its fort in
the winter of 1812-13. Clerks Wal
lace and Halsey having been sent
with 14 hunters and trappers.
Hence the name, Wallace prairie.
That was the first building erected
in present Oregon by white men
outside the vicinity of Astoria.

A half mile north of the fort's
site was the first white settler In
present Oregon, Baptiste Deloar,
Health
By Royal S. Copeland. M.D.
WHEN THE weather begins to get
cold my mail Is filled with inquiries
about frost-bite and chilblains. Often
the writers of such letters confuse
frost-bite and chilblains. As a matter
of fact, these two conditions axe quite
different
It is true the condition known as
chilblains is caused by exposure to
cold, but to hava It it is not neces
sary to be exposed to severs and
freezing weather, as is the case with
frost-bite. The former Is In reality
a disturbance of the nerves and small
blood vessels of the affected part As
a rule the symptoms do not appear
until a day or two after exposure to
tbe cold.
Some persons are extremely sus
ceptible to chilblains. The ailment
Is especially common among children.
In adults it rarely occurs after mid
dle age. So if you suffer from chil
blains you may at least comfort
yourself with the thought you are
still young!
Tbe victim complains of pain and
shows discoloration of tbe heel, foot
or leg. There is likely to be marked
swelling of the involved part Some
times the pain is so severe as to re
quire an opiate.
Frost-bite is quite a different con
dition. It occurs as a result of un
due exposure to freezing weather.
Mil J frost-bite causes the skin to
become a bright red and perhaps to
blister. In a more severe case the
skin becomes pale, stiff and even
brittle.
Common in Winter
Frost-bite of feet fingers, nose or
ether portions of the body is a com
mon accident of winter. In most
cases it Is due to carelessness of the
cold ana failure to guard against It
Exposure to extreme com ts serious
and often has produced fatal results.
Of course, when this happens, the
weather is probably below xero.
The victim of frost-bite becomes
numb In his affected parts. In a
severe case he may be unable to
move or walk. A drowsiness soon
overtakes him and unless rescued he
fails unconscious. Then, of course,
be is In danger of general freezing.
Never apply heat in a case of
frost-bite. The frost-bitten parts
should be gently rubbed. Apply cold
compresses to the skin if tbe mate
rials are available. It is a splendid
plan if there is snow, gently to mas
sage the skin with it
Sudden change from cold" outdoors
to warm quarters is dangerous for
the frost-bitten person. There should
be a gradual adjustment of tempera
ture. After this, stimulants and
other internal medications must be
considered. A soothing ointment
may be applied to tbe Inflamed skin.
In treating -chilblains every effort
must be m&de to stimulate and Im
prove the- circulation. Painting the
sldn with m mixture of tannic acid
and camphor is beneficial. Tour doc
tor will have his favorite prescrip
tion, perhaps a solution of Iodine
crystals and tannic acid. Be may
apply melted paraffin or collodion
possibly, to protect the skin,

In the sprinr of 1842, W. H.
Gray, lay member, left the service
of the Whitman mission east of
the Cascades and engaged with the
Lee mission in the Willamette val
ley. He was given the work of su
perintending the erection of the
building for the Oregon Institute.
It was finished in 1843.
S
It had been the intention for
the Oregon Institute to haye there
a 640 acre donation claim, and to
divide the land outside of a con
venient amount for campus and
sell it in small tracts, for two pur
poses. First, to get money for en
dowment and other needs. Sec
ond, to make up a college settle
ment. s s s
But that building was never
used for school purposes. Jason
Lee, late in 1843, went "to the
United States," for the purpose of
reporting on various matters to
the Methodist missionary society
at New York, and in the mean
time he had been superseded by
Rev. George Gary.
Jason Lee never came back. He
died in the east. Gary upon arrival
in this section began dissolving
the Methodist mission.
Lee had erected a $10,000
building for the Indian manual la
bor school of the Methodist mis
sion. The $10,000 building was
for sale.
The trustees of the Oregon In
stitute sold their building and
land claim on Wallace prairie for
$3000, to James Force, an immi
grant of 1842, and bought from
the Methodist mission the Indian
manual labor school building, for
$4000; the mission land claim of
course going with the manual la
bor school building.
S .
Force completed his land claim;
got his patent to the 640 acres on
Wallace prairie. He later sold to
A. Bush. There has never been an
other transfer. That is still the
Bush place: a fine dairy and fruit
farm.
Timbers (some without nails )
of the original Oregon Institute
building may be seen in outbuild
ings on the Bush farm. Stone and
brick of the Institute building are
round there yet. The first book
composed in Oregon was written
there. Narcissa Whitman visited
the Grays there. These are only
hints of many other historic facts
clustering around that hallowed
spot

laughing eyes, Spanish combs inlaid
with gold, ornaments of loved, dark
tresses, earrings of great weight
and value, that had swung beside
some nowenike throat. The thmgt
tney naa leit behind. . . .
Out in the street again, walking
idly down Toulouse, she stopped to
admire a fan window. A young
man, bareheaded, smoking a pipe,
sauntered down the street toward
her, towed by aa active little wire-
haired pup. The young man stopped
casually beside Sharlene and re
garded the window with, the affec
tionate interest of a proprietor.
"Very nice," be pronounced it.
box have yon seen the fan windows
in the Claiborne House natio?"
Sharlene glanced at him and re
plied in his own pleasant casual
key: "No, I haven t ventured into
these patios, except the Arts and
Crafts one."
"Then you most come to the Clai

un, yes," sue said witn spon
taneous enthusiasm.
The young man smiled with arrow
ing eagerness. He couU not fail to
see that she was a tourist with
money to spend. He conducted her
first through the Claiborne House
flag-stoned porte-cochere to the rear
garden wall. Then he bade her torn
around and look en.
They were very beautiful fan
windows, and wild ferns grew in
the chinks an rroun dinar them.
Then Sharlene found herself be
ing taken chummily around to vari-
oai studios in tot building-. She
admired endless colorful -paintings
which were exhibited to her art
studies of patios, stairways, oyster
luggers in tbe bayou, the eld French
Market.
The young man turned out to be
Peter Hartt.
Several artists followed them
when lie took Sharlene to his own

and at home.
"You'll want to look closely at
this," Hartt amid aa be banded her
