He responds to "his master's voice." If the presi dent had proposed to abolish the supreme court Farley would have jumped through the hoop. The short word is; that dem ocratic senators must conform, "or else .-. . . ' The workinsr of the Farley machine has already been revealed here in Oregon. E. WPA, sent out by the thousands copies of Harry Hopkins radio speech in support of the court plan, sent them out under frank (free postage). And our own Jim Smith ac companied copies of the Hopkins' speech with personal ap peals! to write to members of the Oregon delegation in con gress in support of the plan. No informed person thinks Griffith and Smith . acted "spontaneously." They acted on urging, which emanated from Washington. j A further debauching of the relief organization for part isan ends is seen in the journeying up and down the state by Floyd Bilyeu. He carries the title of field representative for --WPA. In reality he is a political scout for the democratic party. He helped reward the faithful with jobs at the Ore gon legislature. His most recent assignment is to build the backfires on-Oregon's senators in behalf of the ; Roosevelt court plan. Bilyeu goes to the county seats, calls on leading democrats, lays out the program,' and sees that it is put over. The program is to get scores or hundreds of letters or tele grams going to Senator McNary to induce him to vote for the president's court plan. Bilyeu's political principles begin and end with loyalty to the democratic political organization. He is merely carrying out the Farley orders. When Sen. Rob inson talked about "organized propaganda" he failed to men tion the calling the muster roll of the democratic office-holders and party committeemen in a propaganda drive reaching all over the country. Bilyeu is merely a man Friday for Far ley in Oregon, who hopes by doing the party chores he can move up to a better place at the federal pie-counter. The issue of packing the court is not properly a party issue. The democratic platform called for a clarifying amendment if necessary. The issue has become chiefly a per sonal one in which the president wishes to impose his will against the best judgment of party leaders. It is a patent fact that most of those who are leading his fight in the senate are doing, so reluctantly, against their better judgment, and '' in the case of Sen. Ashurst, chairman of the judiciary com mittee, against his own opinion expressed a few months ago. Fortunately for the country many democratic senators both conservative and liberal, have dared stand on their own feet and denounce the plan. Senator Wheeler of Montana is leading the opposition. Senator Clark of Missouri, another young liberal, is fighting it. And Senator Glass, conservative Virginian, made his first radio address since 1932! (when he made his famous speech in support of Roosevelt on the sound money issue) Monday night and bitterly attacked the presi dent's plan. M i , In his address Sen, Glass has this to say about making the plan a party issue: ;'! j " "This talk about party loyalty being involved in the opposi tion to this extraordinary scheme is a familiar species of coercion. It is sheer poppycock. No political party since the establishment of the government ever dared to make an issue of packing the supreme court." j Study of the facts has quite successfully riddled the argu ments first advanced bythe president in behalf of his amaz ing proposal. The court is well up with its work ; one of its most distinguished members is the oldest on the bench. There is no way to make sure of "friendly decisions" by the presi dent's device save by putting minions of his will on the bench. The proper method for constitutional change is by amend ment and not by debauching the judiciary, r The evidence that the president is employing all the force and pressure of his high office and using the party machinery in a country-wide drive for support should impress the peo ple as to the dangers of vesting too much power in the hands of one man. Read the history of Rome and see how the Roman senate persisted in name, long after it had assigned its real powers to the Caesar who soon became the emporer. Now we have a suppliant congress If the court bill passes, soon we will have a suppliant court. How far then will we be from a dicta torship, either under Mr!Rooseveltor his successors? - , -- - ! I--; ! Barbecued Salmon 1 j SALMON, barbecued Indian style, was served at a dinner at Chemawa Tuesday night; and those who partook of it were loud in their praise of its taste. ! The old Indian method is to take the salmon, split it down the back, then slo-bake it in a frame before an open fire. The frame is made after the ancient Indian custom. A four-foot length of a two-inch willow trunk is split, and the half salmon, with small sticks laid crosswise, front and back for support, is then firmly secured between the two halves of the willow stake by tieing their ends with cord. The stake is then driven into the ground a few feet from the fire. It is put on the windward side, with the inner side of the fish toward the fire. The cooking is hot a smoking process at all, like smoked or kippered salmon, but a slow baking in which the fish grease is cooked out and allowed to drip to the ground. After the meat is thoroughly cooked the skin side of the salmon is turned toward the fire and allowed to bake until ready to serve. . i 1 The process is similar to the grilling of steaks over hot coals; but of course the primitive method used by the Indians lends a flavor which the mechanics of grilles and broilers in well-ordered kitchens does not do. i ! The unique preparation of the salmon on this occasion was just another of the fine gestures of hospitality which Supt. and Mrs. Jackson manifest at the Salem .Indian school. , v Th I1"8111 'ormula for 1J37 production is this: Increase In labor productivity 19 per cent: redaction of prod act ion costs, three P?J increase of wages 5. per cent.

HENDRICKS I II st. : f ' Site of lower ' Astor fort on the Willamette river now surely known: must be marked: :.V (Continuing from yesterday:) There is a great deal yet to be said. in. a later series, concerning the locations and relationships of the Jones family. Mrs. Osborn was born Emma S. Jones. Her sister Eliza was married to Joshua Geo. W. Eberhard, living next to the Jones home; next up river. The reader having noted that Frank E. Osborn l.elp?d burn the last logs of the lower Willamette Astor fort when he was 18 years old, and that he was born in 1861, will see that this was in 1879. . When the last logs were burned, the well was filled up. and so was the cellar hole, and Mr. Osborn aided in all that work. But the new earth filling for the well and the cellar hole set tled, so that there is & plain de pression on the highest point of the knoll where the fort stood. That definitely marks the site. "W Thus, any one having once seen the site of the lower Astor fort will have no difficulty whatever in finding it again. Mr. Osborn said a great deal of rubbish was included in the dirt that went into the well and cellar hole. -S S The party there on Sunday last found hand made nails with square heads. None but square headed nails were known when the fort was built, nor for many years thereafter. Wire nails were undreamed of. Also were found other relics, including pieces of colored dishes, and one ancient button. And one precious (to the Indian mind) blue bead! Commencing in the field a few hundred feet toward the Newberg highway, many, many pieces of broken colored dishes are found. That means they were broken in the camps of the Indians who came to trade. They were not al lowed toNget or to camp near the fort, as was said before, and thus is explained the distance of the broken dishes. V That field is now in grain, and the writer hopes no trespassing may result from these lines while the crop is growing. When settled dry weather comes, there will be easier ways to reach the fort site. Again, where is the fort site? Start at Champoeg state park. That was on the Andre Langtain donation land claim. V' S Next, up the river, was the Rob ert Ady donation land claim, and next the Joseph Despard claim. After this was the Stoklpv T. Jones claim, on which the Frank m. usborns live. Followed the Pierre (Peter) Bellique donation land claim, the right of patent to which went to his heirs. Then came the Etienne Lucier donation land claim. Lucier was a prominent early pioneer, one of the 12 of the As torians who remained in the country after all the rest of their companions had gone back to eastern United States and Canada. That dated his settlement back to 1812. Only two of the Lewis and Clark party of 1805 remained be hind here and became settlers, Francis Rivet and Baptists De Loar. Bellique was also an early settler, coming in 1832, according to Bash ford. Lucier voted Jn the affirmative at the May 2, 1843, meeting at Champoeg, and his name appears on the monument there. So did Bellique, though his name does not appear there. The same as to Joseph Gervais of the Astor party, and Donpierre, Lad trootf Bernier, and others. The Bellique donation Und claim, the next one after the Jones claim, passed early to George Eberhard. Some records call it the Eberhard claim, but it was patented under the name of Peter Bellique, or rather the heirs 'of Peter Bellique. It is not quite as simple as it looks in the above the six dona tion land claims beginning with the one of Langtain and ending with that of Lucier. S The Willamette river makes a great bend in its flow from the south line of the Lucier claim to the part of the Langtain claim that is in the state park at Cham poeg. So one In trying to get his bear ings, from the old maps and the river, gets badly - mixed half turned around. What looks like north and south on the ridge where the lower Astor fort stood Is east and west. That is. it Is east and west the long way and north and south the narrow way. " A The land on which the fort was erected was in what became the Etienne Lucier donation land claim, and ownership appears now to be in W. J. Gearin of Portland, or parties represented by him. The writer believes he is a member of the clan of John M. Gearin. United States senator from Oregon, 1905-1907, appoint ed by Governor Chamberlain upon the death of John H. Mitchell De cember 8, 1805. Of course, the site of the fort must be marked, and it should be made a national or state park. It would be appropriate to ex tend the Champoeg state park to Include this. The distance in a straight line is abont a mile and a half. The distance to Newberg from the fort site is about two and a half miles. This, too. : in a straight line. : (Continued tomorrow.) j I Bomb Wounds Mayor KIRKVILLE, Mo..

VaU Interpreting By MARK WASHIW.TON Mrh There is a way by which President Kooseveii s court proposal couia De beaten, lciaii lbly. Back of the senate committee hearings on the court proposal back of the radio speeches, back of everything, goes on the slow pro cess that will etve the final an swer. It is a pro- Uuk &sui cess of Individ ual senators making up their minds how they will vote. j Some have made up their minds by personal conviction. Many take politics into account. In deciding, they will include the factor of their personal chances for reelec tion. They listen and watch to find the feeling of the voters In their respective states. Not the whole of the voters. Democratic senators want to know about dem ocratic voters. And it is democrat ic senators who will decide the issue, because there are so many of them. In the whole senate of 9 there are 75 democrats. If the court proposal is to be defeated, about 30 democratic senators must vote against it Upon all senators, the political factor weighs. (Excepting, of course, those who act on convic tion only.) The political factor weighs In varying degree. Upon senators who come up for renom ination and reelection in 1938. it weighs heaviest, for their fate Is little more than a year away. Up on those coming np in 1940, the political factor weighs less; by 1940, the court proposal may be out of the voters' minds. Upon those coming up In 1942, the po litical factor .weighs still less. In deed hardly at all; between now and the time they face the voters there will intervene five years and a presidential election. Consider now a democratic sen ator coming up for reelection next year. For an example, take one who has already made up his mind and is against the court proposal. Senator Frederick Van Nnys, of Indiana. (There are- others in the same situation, notably Senator Bennett Clark, of Missouri.) Senator Van Nnn. fay in- naw year, has two hurdles. One is the democratic primary, which will determine whether he Is renomin ated. The other, assuming he is renominated, is the general elec tion. ; Consider Senator Van Vnn he goes into the democratic pri- uary ior renominauon. Ho knows the democratic national organiza tion, headed by President Roose velt and National Chairman Far ley, wiU oppose him. Mr. Farley has given notice. As part of the administration's broad fight for the court proposal. Mr. Farley early made a speech in which, in effect, he told the world, and dem ocratic senators especially, that the court proposal is a democratic party measure and that democrat ic senators must vote for it. "or else . m Senator Van Nuys knows that Mr. Farley and President Roose velt can almost certainly cause the democratic organization in Indiana to oppose him. They can line np the democratic office holders In Indiana. They can line np the ben eficiaries or relief, and the other beneficiaries of federal money. They can line np not only the fed eral office holders but presumably the state and local ones. Besides all these. Mr. Farley and Mr. Roosevelt will have on their mlAm all the democrats who have little conviction abont the court pro posal, one way or the other, but who follow, the party leadership as a matter of course. All these groups will vote in the democratic primary against renomlnatlon of Senator Van Nuys. Ordinarily they i ... 4 i the News SULLIVAN should be more, than enough to defeat him. On Senator Van Nuys' side he will have only those democrats who believe with him on the court issue, and those who admire fidel ity to personal conviction, and those who esteem him as a pub lic spirited senator. But the per sons who vote on 'this basis are not ordinarily a majority. They are unorganized, and ordinarily could not prevaU against the party machine. In short, ordinarily, and with out knowing the particular con ditions in Indiana, one would say that Senator Van Nuys would be defeated for renomination. as a penalty for his stand agairffl the president on the court issue. And of course if he is defeated in the democratic primary, that ends it. He will no longer be In the sen ate. He will have been punished for opposing the president's court measure. Meantime thpr win ha tn In diana hundreds of thousands of voters who will regret this, who will wish that Mr. Van Nuys be returned to the senate. But these particular voters will not be able, under ordinary conditions, to do anything about it. They will not be able to help Senator Van Nuys. They will be unable to help him because they are republicans. And as I have explained. Senator Van Nuys' real test is in the democrat ic promary, where republicans do not ordinarily vote. But If all the republicans who approve Senator Van Nuys for vot ing against the court proposal were to go into the democratic primary and vote for him there, he would win the primary The republicans, added to the " dem ocrats who are for him. would win the primary overwhelmingly. Senator Van Nuys would also win the election and be returned to the senate. His rote against the court proposal would be justified and the country would continue to have an able and conscientious senator. . whr can' tha republicans in Indiana do Just this thing? Why can t they next year ignore their own primary and go into the dem ocratic one, for the sake of in suring a return to the senate of a man who has opposed the presi dent s court proposal? I do not know the details of the Indiana law about members of one party goln into the primary of another. In a few states the primary laws are written in such a way as to prevent this. But. assuming that Indiana Is like most states, that republicans can go into the dem ocratic primary aasnming that, the obligation would seem to be heavy on republicans to thus in sure the return of Mr. Van Nuys to the senate. To be sure, by this course the republicans would forfeit the chance of electing a senator of their own. But have the republi cans much chance to do this any how in Indiana next year? Be sides, republicans' have been say ing that the president's court pro posal raises the greatest issue In American politics since the Civil war. If the republicans really be lieve this, does it not follow that the return of a democratic sen ator who opposes the court pro posal is more important than whether or not the republicans have a candidate for senator? I have dwelled upon Senator an Nuys as one example. The same consideration applies to ev ery democratic senator opposing the court proposal. ' If th republicans are going to do anythlnr like this tflaV 4kKrkn1 take steps at once.' Their actually uwuia n nexi year la "not enough. It Is -important that it should be known' now. that they are going to do it. .For right now many dem ocratic senators are making up their minds how to vote. I think that every observer would agree with this statement. If It were positively known today that the republicans next year would go into democratic senatorial primar ies and support democratic sen ators who vote against the court proposal, then the court proposal would be defeated. For a large majority of the democratic sen ators would prefer to vote against the proposal if they were free from fear of political consequences.

Jed Ork says he's had his am bltioua moments, but he's i about decided to settle down and be a pedestrian the rest of his life. A magazine writer says life is two-fold, conscious and sub-con scions, and the language of the sub-conscious is dreaqi. and therefore wo should take dreams more seriously than we do. The sub-conscious - mind, he says, is mighty important, because it knows a heap of things abous ns that we don't suspect. The poet Bryan had a notion that life Is a two-fold affair, but, because he was a poet, I spose, nobody paid much attention to him, and any way his conscious mind seems to have done pretty well by him. A dream may, I presume,' suggest a line of thought, which, followed through, will result in something of importance. Many people have told me of terrifying dreams they hare had; some of which were re peated insistently. These dream ers admitted they were worriea But I hare never known one whose fears were Justified. And I have been told of dreams which portended good fortune, and these didnt work out either. But they resulted p a slight improvement, temporary In its nature. In the state of mind of the dreamer. I once spent a season on a mid west race circuit, and during two memorable weeks I "roomed with a gentleman driver, who owned a one-horse string of thor oughbreds. We roomed during that week In a sort of box-stall at the end of a long one-story sta ble, the remainder of which was occupied by horses. It was an old stable, and the floors squeaked. and It was flytlme. and the win dows were screened with mosqui to netting which the horseflies broke through with the greatest of ease, and the mosqultos were rather bad. and altogether sleep ing conditions were far from per fect. My "room" mate : Informed me on the second morning of the week that he couldn't stand it any longer. Twelve horses stepping about on a squeaky floor was keeping him , awake. : and he could n't dream when he was awake and so he had no way of telling whether his horse would win the following day or not. No, he didn't mind the mosqultos, he said. They made him sort o' home sick for the. old home in the river bottom, that was all. he said. Nor he didn't mind stable noises ex cept, during a race meeting, but during a race meeting he Just sim ply had to have heavy slumber so Ten Years Ago Marion County Boy's confer ence opens today, D wight Adams will bo toastmaster and Mayor T.

However, there was some sort of gentleman's agree ment between the association offi cials and the owner of the one horse string that he ahould spend his nights In the stable during that week as a species of guard, and so after a period of rather heated conversation ho decided to stay. I stayed with him for several reasons, the principal one of which was that he wanted me to stay. But the following week we were at another track, and had a room in a hotel, and he settled down to get him some heavy sleep and some dreams that would give him a line on track results the fol lowing day. That turned out to be a more memorable week for me than the week previous, because my partner snorted and .snored and rolled and tumbled and groaned frightfully In his sleep Perhaps I'd have been somewhat disturbing myself, because X was mighty tired when bedtime came those days, had I been sufficiently speedy In. the takeoff, but n was too fast for me.

Easter Sunday was celebrated in a befit ting manner in Valsetz. Even Old Sol turned out tor the occasion and dispelled the few early morn ing clouds so that spring flowers and new bonnets, dresses and suits were appropriate for the Easter parade. The young people of the high school and upper grades met in - 1 the kitchen of the school for a sunrise breakfast with 20 present. They decided to organise a league to meet each Sunday evening. For the first time since the starting of the mill attendance at Sunday school exceeded 160, be ing one over that number.
