' i - ; , ... " Observations on State Politics. ! . " ." DEMOCRATIC fence-building was the principal political activity of the legislature just closed. The republicans did little toward developing candidacies! or party pro grams. The democrats, on their side, more confident than two years ago when a democratic house was regarded as an acci dent, were busy with deals. Most of. the horse-trading was among non-members of the legislaturebut Salem was the pit - yhere trading was in progress. - pi: - ' Chief manipulator in the last 30 days was Willis E. Ma honey who is endeavoring to edge out Gov. Martin as party leader in Oregon. Coming back from hisT fireside chat or whatever it was with Jim Farley, Mahoney geared right in jwith the pension-labor bloc and posed as its leader. The gov ernor wouldn't let him get away with credit tor the pension ibill, and told a group of the wire-hairs who called on him that the bill the legislature passed was "his", bill, that he was for jit and would sign it. ' , , j j ' - - j; The most interesting development of the Mahoney man ipulations is his reported alliance with Howard Latourette, inational committeeman, and John J. Beckman, chairman of .the Multnomah county central committee. If the republican liy .party haa had its "four horsemen," the democrats would now I .

Salem for the duration with the title of legal adviser tojthe governor, j Jn fact his time was devoted to politics pure and 'simple, or , rather not always pure and seldom simple. Lauorette, "off" ;on Gov. Martin since the 1935 special session, is credited with 'ambitions for runningfor governor in 1938. Mahoney looks tr, j c: i f 4i x ' j t-iJ i j iu ficu oiexwcr a seat m me as a political factotum. - Of immediate interest is the filling of the vacancy for :, federal judge in Oregon.

Organized la bor supported former senator Hess of LaGrande, while Judge I Hall Lusk of Portland had strong backing. At the moment I the star of Mark Weatherf ord appears to be rising.

Probable choice for next president of the senate if it remains republican is Robert Duncan of Burns, one of the ablest lead ; ers in that body. . ! i Dean Walker, senator from Benton and' Polk counties, proved himself an invaluable member. As chairman of the - ways and means committee for two sessions he deserves a great deal of credit for maintaining the excellent financial condition of the state. He is lucid but brief in debate, a man of great personal charm, thoroughly frank and honest, so that he wins the respect and friendship even of those he dis agrees with. Polk and Benton have an unwritten law that the ' senatorship should alternate between the counties. In Walk er's case the law should be suspended.

Dr. Hosch of Bend, an intelligentsia liberal, was influential in debate iT at times his appeals were rather maudlin. A man of genuine .worth was George Friede, who might also be listed as one of tne liberal intellectuals. He was independent in -his thinking and voting, and showed a rare facility in clear expression of his views, something which the house sadly lacked. Mrs. Mar tin of Salem, who fought a gallant fight against the slot machine and pinball interests, was badly boxed on labor Jeg lslation and irked fellow-members by protests over adjourn ment.

O. Ellenbecker, Syl- ran Heights Farm, Route 5, MarysTille, Kansas. He was the speaker at the dedl cation of a fine marker placed on the old trail at. Bremen, that county and state, on June 9, 1935. (He writes now that the work goes on that plans are laid for - a campaign that- will bring another marker there. Then others will follow.) a - S Mr. Ellenbecker sent to the Bits man a photograph of the Bremen marker, and it shows as part of the '.lettering engrared on its granite sides these words: "Lest we forget. OREGON TRAIL. 1827-1875. Dedicated 1935. a e e In commenting upon that word ing, the Bits man said, in the Is sue of January 1 last: "The '1827-1 875' is perhaps meant to bound the years during which the road the Tnarker In dicates was-used as a part of the old Oregon trail. V "If not, what? (White men first went through South pass be fore 1827. The time of the last year of the use ot the old Oregon trail as such Is generally given as 1869, , when the golden spike was drlren that linked together the Union . and Central Pacific rail roads. But let's not split hairs or- er dates. The people of .Marshall county, Kansas, hare undertaken a great work, in marking the old Oregon trail through its confines. and highly historic spots on that historic thoroughfare.' Mr. Ellenbecker has written an answer to the comments just quoted, which has been held over- long, for reasons too numerous to mention: mostly rush, of other matters for this column having the character of urgency. He says S S "Now as to '1827-1875' relative to the Oregon trail; and this is just a candid exchange of ideas: I may be wrong. "South pass was traversed and discovered In 18 23 'or 24 by J. S. Smith or Thos. Fitspatrlck or others. But all these fellows work ing for Wm. H.

Not even work could allay It, because Jimmy was always at the back of her mind, no matter how hard she worked. And she did work hard. Her shop had gained a rogue. her name a prestige. 'And it isn't my real name! It's the name I took to get away from Gerald Bruton!" Where was Gerald now? He had not been recaptured ". . . It was an old tale that was told.

"Don't you worry, Miss Waters." But Luana did worry.-She was ashamed to the core of her being. Publicity had brought her fame but one paid for being; in the eye of . the public . . . this proved.it! Her arrangement with Mr. Van daveer had been purely business like. But evidence was strong against her. - She knew, with the sixth senseJ or a woman, that Yvonne Dautrey and the wretched little Armand would seek to curry favor, te ad vance themselves In the rich woman's graces by going to her and her lawyer with the story of Luana's 'marriage to the crook . . . Fortunately for Luana, how ever, . Yvonne was vacationing with Armand at Atlantic City at that time . . . and they did get legally married during their holi day. Gradually It dawned on Luana that the scandal of the divorce action , was harming the business of her shop. Customers fell off. Lorraine Vandaveer had gained a good deal of sympathy by her story. Luana had "bit the hand that fed her" ... She was an in grate ... dangerous to the happi ness, the tranquility of marriage. Ia a word, she was too pretty, too fascinating! Society women In particular sheep-like trend of "follow the leader! The fact that Mr. Vandaveer had Insisted that his business con nection with Luana be a profound secret worked against her In the long run. Why the secret? What to hide? .That "still waters run deep" is a well-known saying.
