On Monday, the senate passed the bill providing for an administrator. The house had passed a similar bill and .since the principal bone of contention, the Boulder dam rider, got nowhere in either branch, there should not be any great difficulty about synchronizing the two measures. : i Also on Monday, Governor Martin and some like-minded people got together and launched a program designed to block the appointment of J. D. Ross of Seattle to the $10,000 job the Bonneville bill created. Last night Representative , Hosch and others who see Bonneville as the fighting physician sees it, were to meet and line up their strategy in support of Ross. They, waving aside the issue of Mr. Ross' residence in Seattle and identifi cation with Puget Sound interest, will support him because he represents and obviously believes in the public ownership principle. ' . . Getting back to Governor Martin's group, its external argument is sectional. Ross is from Seattle. Portland and Se attle have been battling for commercial advantages ever since the first tree on a hillside overlooking Elliot bay was txut down; a matter of some 85 years. Much of their heavy cannonading has been done, not across the Columbia but on the battlefields of Washington, I). C.,ever since commercial interests found that it was possible to tiave laws passed fa voring them and handicapping That 85-year rivalry could be sufficient explanation of the Portland and upper Columbia opposition to Ross, but the public ownership people see it otherwise. Ross has success fully managed a publicly owned power system. He is a new dealer, in close touch with the president The public owner ship advocates rate their principle ahead of sectionalism ; they want an administrator friendly to their cause, no mat ter where he comes from. And as this newspaper has pointed out before, they probably will get him. . But that is merely the first skirmish. The real battle is that of switchboard rates vs. postage stamp rates, public use .vs. industrial use. - Oddly enough Mr. Ross does not seem to agree altogeth er with some of the people who are backing him so strenuous ly. They fear that industry will grab all the power. On the opposing side are those who fear that all the power will be transmitted to distant rural users and there will be no indus trial development on the Columbia. - We hope that all who are interested in this bulky issue read Mr. Ross' letter to Mayor Carson, published in full in the Sunday Statesman. Repeating just a paragraph: "Any development on the Columbia will help you, regardless of who uses the current. No man or no group of men should cor j ner the current. Every man and every group of men should be . . able to get all the power they can use at lowest rates." Elsewhere he makes it quite plain that he does believe in public control of the power, but is thoroughly acquainted with the costs of transmission and, if he does believe in post age stamp rates to some degree, knows full well the limits of economical transmission. Each group in this fight is busy calling the other "the en emies of Bonneville." And the sad part is that they are fight ing over so little. The public power issue is not really in volved; Bonneville is public power. Likewise the question as to who will obtain the use of the power is largely a phantom issue. There will be power both for industry and for domestic use. The only big issue involves rates. All this discussion of Bonneville is a good thing. It would be a better thing if the arguments were based more on hard facts and less on ballyhoo. It should be widely known that Bonneville is the only big government power project on which opposition to industrial use has arisen. On the Tennes see Valley project and Boulder dam, absorption of a majority of the power by industry was taken for granted. It should be recognized that Bonneville is not a play thing, subject to political whims and fancies, but a huge in vestment loaned to the northwest by the federal government, an investment on which the northwest must eventually make an accounting. ' . - . " Selecting Judges Improvement in the calibre of men selected to fill the circuit judgeships in Oregon, by improving the .method of their selection, has received considerable attention in the ' part. Governor Martin's committee for improvement of judi cial procedure, in its report to the 193? legislature containing recommendations on other points, some of which were adopt ed, touched upon this problem but announced no conclusions, reserving it as a problem for further study. Now comes ,a committee on the selection of judges, com posed of members of the Oregon State Bar, with specific rec ommendations which would require amendment of the state constitution. - " Under this proposal, circuit judges would be. elected as follows: The incumbent circuit judge, at the last primary election before expiration of his term, would if he sought reelection be placed on the ballot alone, without opposition, for the ap proval or rejection of the voters. Also at a primary election, which might or might not be the same primary at which the incumbent judge underwent this test, there would be elected in each judicial district a ju dicial committee of five members, three of them having been , nominated just as candidates for circuit judge are now nom inated, and two selected by the members of the Oregon State Bar who reside in the district. :-'-."i-5-v Then if the incumbent judge were rejected at the polls in the primary, this judicial committee of five would nomin ate from one to three qualified candidates for the judgeship, to be voted upon at the general election. Supreme court va cancies would be filled in the same manner, with nominees to be selected by the combined judicial committees from all dis tricts in the state. ' In event of the death or resignation of a judge, the judi cial committee would nominate three eligible from whom the governor would appoint a judge to fill the vacancy. Terms of the judges would also be changed. A first term would be four years, a second term six years and a third term, if the three terms follow each other without a break, would extend to the retirement age; optional at 70, compul sory at 75. ,; v ,u:y.-:--' The thought behind all this is that the selection of jud ges by the usual political process is not conducive to selection of the best qualified men in all cases. It would still be an elect ive office under this program but "self-starters" would be eliminated. Once in office, a judge would be less subject' to political influences. - The proposal is new; a snap judgment as to its merits at thk time would be ill-advised. The voters will -probably be called upon to make a decision at an early election, unless there should be obvious reaction sufficient to cause its with drawal. It does not require a crystal ball to foresee that there will be .opposition. Because of a surplus Brazil Is burning: a considerable portion of lis coftce crop.

By R. J. HENDRICKS After 87 years 8-11-37 Oregon native and pioneer moving; her life rich In historic memories; : The column of Fred Lockley in the Portland Journal for the is sue ot June 24 last contained the life story of a Marlon county native who has lived in Oregon 87 years, and is now going to Maryland. : - Her life story is connected with that of many prominent peo ple of this section. Her long time friend. Miss Ellen Chamberlin', whom she mentions, is now liv ing in Salem, with her sister, Mrs. Chas. S. Weller, 150 W. Lu ther street. With only tine orig inal quotation marks, the matter follows: "m ; "I have been a widow SO years," said Mrs. Martha Ellen Adams ot 2811 S.E. 61st avenue. "I was born on my father's farm, be tween Marion and Jefferson, on March 15. 1850. After living In Oregon 87 years it wrenches my heart to think of moving to Mary land, where I shall be going soon, to live with my granddaughter. How I shall miss the evergreens, the enow-clad mountains, our clear streams, our springs and, roses and alt other things that make Oregon seem a; heaven on earth! "My father, William McKInney. who was born in Kentucky on Au gust 20. 1820, came to Oregon in 1847. My mother's maiden name was Matilda Darby. Mother was 16 and Father 26 when they were married, in April, 1847. A week later they Btarted on their six months' wedding trip by ox team to Oregon. Mr grandfather. John McKinney, a Methodist minister, was captain of the wagon train for a while. j V "Father, in Oregon, got a Job making rails for John Minto, who had crossed the plains In 1844. Early in the spring ot 1849, when my brother Ed was a little tot. Father came in from his work one day and Mother put some boiled wheat and deer meat on the ta ble. Father said, 'If it wasn't tor you and Ed I certainly wouldn't be staying here on the farm while every other able-bodied man has gone to California to make his fortune In the gold fields.' Moth er said. 'Well, it that's all that's keeping yon, go right ahead. Fa ther said. 'If that's the way yon feel about it, I sure will. So, in a few days, he started for Califor nia. He had good luck In the gold fields. He got back the next De cember, having been gone about eighth months. He brought back $7000 in gold dust. He bought a squatter's right to a farm not far from Marion. He put np a grist miU on the Santlam river, also a sawmill, and Installed a carding machine, He carded wool for peo ple all over that part of the coun try. V "My grandfather, the Rev. John McKinney, looked after Mother while Father was in the gold fields. Mother stayed with the Careys, who has crossed the plains with them In 1847. I was born about three months after Father came back from the gold diggings. Father and Henry Turner built a grist mill at Scio. Later, Father ran a mill at what was then known as Hogum, but was later called Aumsville. ; S S i "When Father married my mother he told her parents that he would bring her ; back to see them within 10 years; ao, when I was 8 years old Father and Moth er went to San Francisco by boat and took a boat for the Isthmus, on their journey 'to see my mother's folks. They left the farm in April and got back the day be fore Christmas. My ! brother Ed, my sister Ann and I stayed with my mother's relations, the Dar bys. j "Father bought 640 acres three miles southeast of Turner. He had prospered, so he decided to put up a brick house. He burned the brick himself and put np a two story house of 10 rooms. It was one of the finest farm homes In the neighborhood. I w e n t to school at what was then called Ale, but is now West Stayton. My first teacher was J.iA. Richard son, later a doctor at Salem. Later, I went to school at Sublimits Professor T. H. Crawford and W. W. Beach ran the school. Before I started to school there my brother Ed's wife, whose maiden name was Virginia Condlt, went to school to Bishop Milton Wright, who later moved back to Ohio, where his two sons. Wilbur and OrviUe, were born and where, in their little bicycle renalr shoo. they began experimenting In the mating or airplanes. When I was a little girl we used to cross the ferry at Santlam Citr. not far from Jefferson. Jacob Conser owned the ferry. My husband la ter worked . on this ferry for years. V "I entered Willamette univer sity. In 1868, the year Ellen Chamberlin graduated. She lives in Portland and is one of. my best friends. Ida Pratt Babcock, who lives at Salem, graduated that year. Ellen Chamberlin was born in Michigan in 1849, so she was 19 when she graduated. She taught at Willamette for many years. ' -, "After I had attended Willam ette university two years Mr. Con dlt came to our house and said. "We need a teacher, and can nay $35 a month. He asked me to take the school. I was rather doubtful, bat I took It and within a tew days had SO pupils and got along very nicely. My career as a teacher, however, didn't last long, for on April 6, 1870, I mar ried Tarrin Adams. The Adamses used to be our neighbors, and his mother put my first clothes on me. When I was 8 yeara old we moTed from there, and I didn't see Tarvin till I was about 1 18. He was 29 and X was 20 when we were married. ft . a-l Ca IW. SAam. Inc. WW nri. mmd . 5 i ,. . ,Tt ' Nebraska Family Silverton Guests SILVERTON House guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. E.

Blowing the weather round. The cool and wet and the dry and hot, Ne'er knowing where they're bound. Sweeping across the hills and the dales. Whispering, shouting, too. Each in its turn the tree winds come, E'er eager their work "to do. Days ot sunshine and days of rain. Days of much heat and of chill, Nothing to lose and nothing to gain, ' And unending time to kill. Friendly the winds are to human kind The influence they exert Is the only help we are apt to find When choosing an undershirt. SILVERTON, August 8. D. H. T.: We were over to Salem Sunday, and while there picked up a copy of that morning's States man, so we did hot have to wait tor the mails. We liked your poem, "The Whisker." But should the f econd line of the second verse not rhyme with "breeze"? The fi nal word of the line should be "whiskerese," Should it not? By the way. The Statesman is a very interesting paper these days. D. It is difficult to find one per son who is infallible under all conditions, and it is Impossible to find a number of people on the same Job, all of whom are infalli bie. Certainly, the dull, dead "whisker" of the second line ot the second verse of that poem (it was nice of you to call it a poem) should have been "whiskerese," meaning the language of whis kers. Somewhere in the process of publication the word lost its ese and such meaning as it had. Also ita rhyme waa destroyed. It is not a very serious matter. Few newspaper typographical er rors or discrepancies, apart from price quotations in the advertis ing columns, are serious. The ave rage reader is sufficiently intelll gent to correct in his mind the usual error he finds in a newspa per. And in all things there is compensation. As, tor instance. the letter from Silverton with its proof ot a reader's friendly inter est. Newspaper typographical errors are sneakish things. Seemingly in visible on the proof sheets at press time, over the coffee next morning they fairly kick onein the face, They fairly burst in their eager ness to make themselves apparent. They are the visiblest things on the page. How account for them? Weariness of sight and mind un der the strain of getting the paper to press the night before, I reck on. Simple enough. The only won der is that, considering the possi bilities, so few of them sneak through. Manv an old time nrinter could doubtless recount for hours typo graphical errors he has known. He does not do so. because he finds little of pleasure in the ex ercise. Few typographical errors are funnv. Thev are not lane-hpd at by other than thonehtlesa in dividuals who laugh uproariously at tne motion picture comedy in which legs are broken and the comedians inflict one another with various sorts ot physical pain. There are a number of newspaper humorists, so called. in this country who convulse their readers with references to human weaknesses and unavoidable phy sical eccentricities. And this, I think, is a fitting place In which to say a few words to the rlorw nf Odd Mclntyre, who Is never guil ty of SUCh "humor" Mr. Mrlntvro is alwaya Interesting, on occasion ne is really humorous, and he has that quality which Mr. Kipling re ferred to so many times in his writings aa "the bowels of com passion."

" TALMADGE domestic peace of mind, I knew a printer who made an error in a legal blank. - one of the sort which begins with "Know All Men by these Presents." The printer used Old English type for this line, and instead of a capital M in the word men he inadvert ently used a capital W. Now a wen Is a fleshy or callous excres cence, which all men are not, and the error worried the printer a heap. He did not wish to do the Job over. Finally, he referred the matter to the leading lawyer of the town. The leading lawyer blinked at the line and withheld his opinion in the matter. But he offered the printer half price, which almost covered the cost ot the stock on which the blanks were printed, and the printer ac cepted the offer. Later, I under stand, the lawyer told an ac quaintance that there was nothing wrong with the blanks except a letter, upside down. Just the same, the printer was well satis fied wth the way in which the er ror had been adjusted. The most serious effect of er rors, typogranpical and otherwise, is not usually in the error itself) but in the annoyance it causes in' the minds of those whose pridp ia the finished product is humbled . Will Rogers came back to the Grand theatre Sunday. The pic ture, "Handy Andy," which gives "State Fair" a close run for pop ularity. One thing is evident Will is still alive in the hearts of the theatre-going public. How long he will remain alive is some thing only time can determine. The State theatre Is continuing its vaudeville experiment, and. be lieve It or not, is gaining notice ably. Two questions were para mount among Salem theatrical addicts Sunday and Monday how long will Will Rogers last? and is vaudeville regaining Its erstwhile status? The Friday-Saturday bill at the State, with the two Barty girls and their 12-year-old midget brother, Billy, the white-haired youngster, so familiar to followers of the old Mickey McGuIre come dies, and three other excellent acts, were given big patronage and aroused many enthusiastic comments. A Warner Oland film. "Charlie Chan at the Olympics," made an almost perfectly balan ced bill. "Darktown Scandals." dated at this house for August 22-23, a stage show running some what more than an hour, will demonstrate the attitude of the local public towards negro com edy. Many compliments are heard for the new sound system. Installed last week afr- the Hollywood. Personally, I am waiting with eagerness for the coming Saturday of "Wee Willie Winkle," the Kip ling story, -with Shirley Temple, Victor McLaglan, Douglas Scott (the other boy in the "Lloyds of London" picture) and a lot of others whom we know and like.
