' " "01(1 Northwest" Settlement A year ago the nation was celebrating the 150th anniver sary of the United States constitution. This year the spot light of century-and-a-half history turns to the "old north west' a designation which still lingers somewhat to the con sternation of the people of the "new northwest. 0r8p Washington and Idaho. Easterners even.yet leave off the "old and call Unio, inaiana, juicmpan, iiui-uu.,? n.yo, and part of Minnesota "the northwest." I It was in 1788 that the Ohio Company of Associates es tablished the town of Marietta, Ohio, under the terms of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Back of that important epi sode may be traced the victory in the western campaijn of George Rogers Clark during the Revolutionary war, .a factor in recognition of United States claim to this territory in the treaty of Paris in 1783. There followed the dispute involving claims of various states, notably Virginia, New York. Massa chusetts and Connecticut, to this territory, ending with their cession of the lands to the federal government and the rather fanciful suggestions of -Thomas Jefferson for a program of colonization. - ' ' ' . -.' ' it " . . -3Ieanwhile colonization in the west received further im petus! from the claims of war veterans .who. had heen prom ised bounties in lands as an inducement to enlist. (The North " west Ordinance was finally enacted largely at the instance of the leaders in the Ohio Company of Associates Rufus Put- ' nam, Samuel Parsons, Manasseh Cutler and others. . Settlement following this impetus was rapid but there were still the hostile Indians to be overcome, wjth the victor ious campaign of Anthony Wayne as. a satisfactory climax, and the subversive influence of English traders j which con tinued to keep the Northwest Territory in the international spotlight and make it an important factor in the war of 1812, even though Ohio had been admitted as a state in 1802 and the territories of Indiana, Michigan and Illinois had been split off prior to that conflict. j -V The settlement of the "old Northwest" is a! significant episode in American history because it marks the beginning of actual colonization westward by the- new nation 150 years ago although it was little more than half that long ago that Horace Greeley provided a new impetus with that classic advice, "Go West, young man." j ; Leveling Water Supply j The weather contrasts of 1938 have re-emphasized the need of leveling off the water supply in the Willamette valley. Last winter the flooding of the Willamette river was more pronounced and more costly in damages to lands along its banks than usual. This summer is marked by one of the long est sustained dry spells in many wears. No rain of- conse quence has fallen since May 11. The condition is pointed out by Dr. W. L. Powers, head of the soils department at the state college, who reports that not only are non-irrigated crops suf fering, but many private irrigation systems lackf water sup plies to operate them. i The WillametteValley project proposes to solve this pro blem, storing water" during flood periods so that the flow at such times will not be harmful, and releasing it so as to pro vide irrigatI6n water for large systems yet to be built, and to maintain the flow in the river so that the private irrigation systems will be supplied. These two benefits constitute the immediate and major goals of the. project although naviga- , lion and eventually power development are included, in the plan. 1 ' . . The people of Lane county are thoroughly sold on the Willamette Valley project because that county suffers most from floods. Marion county ranks second in this regard. The leaders in the effort to obtain funds for the project could use some more active support and enthusiasm in Marion county. Recent developments have emphasized the warning issued by these leaders, that "the fight has just begun." The army en gineers and congress have placed their stamp of approval upon the project but no funds have yet been appropriated or assured. . . Music and Rowdyism ; . - - - - i . For many years Salem people in large numbers have en joyed the summer band concerts provided by the municipal band at public expense. Because of the torn-up condition of portions of Willson Park where these concerts have beeri held in the past, they were transferred this year to Marion Square. Deportment of a small minority of those attending these concerts in the past has always been cause for mild complaint, but for some reason there is much more strenuous complaint this season. It seems that' there has been an unusual amount of commotion and disturbance, some fighting including a fra cas that involved the use of a knife but no serious injury, and general rowdyism. . ; The public pays for these band concerts and is entitled to the prospect of enjoying them without disturbance. The Statesman takes cognizance of the situation . and the com plaints that have arisen, in the hope that the offenders will take warning. If they do not. the only remedy will be the as signing of more police officers band concerts. . - "Pauline" Fails to Escape If the death of Pearl White in Paris on Thursday stirs clamorous memories. -then vou middle aged, for it was in the da3s wrhen flicker films were1 very young that she thrilled patrons of the "nickelodeons") .with her hair-raising and hairbreadth escapes from the jaws of death at the opening of each chapter of the "Perils of Pau-j line.'1 By the end of the chapter she always managed to be-1 come involved in another seemingly hopeless predicament,' not to be solved until the next week's episode. But "Pauline" who was also "Elaine'Vin a, similar chap ter 'melodrama, did not finally escape after all. She earned a fortune in the movies but strenuous "stunting" and the early day studio lights took their toll and she was forced to retire in the early 20s.

J. HENDRICKS The tradition of .. 8-5-38 the Sherman rose at Monterey and its romance . tUl persists, though floated: ; -.. Don Wiggins, well known Sa lemite, who takes Interest in things historic and Is an author ity, on guns, of which be has a great collection; anctent.'less aged; And new. spent a little time at old Monterey la 1904, and there saw Dona. Maria Ygnacia Bonifacio and the famous rose tiee, and brought away and treas ures a photograph of the two the woman and the tree; 'he then old woman and the old -and Tery !a" e tree, for a rose tree. - Mr. Wiggins keeps an Associa te Press clipping which appeared in" American and other newspa pers! under the date Jine, Mon terey. CaL. Jan. 6That was In 1916. It reads: fThe Z . :. rita of the Sherman rose cottage' Is gone. She died at the age of 86. firm in the belief that i the romantic soldier who came into her life for a brief time many years ago and promised to return, is still alive. During the Mexican war Gener William T. Sherman, then a captain. Tislted this section, and met Senorita Ma ria Vnacia Bonef acia. He planted in her garden a rose ' tree, since grown to huge proportions, and promised to return to wed her, it is said.", Readers of this column know Sterman was not yet a captain, and that he more than visited the section around Monterey; that he was a young lieutenant, and was located there many ; months, on duty; performing numerous and various duties, and that later, for several rears, he was a nrominonr early day resident of California, a leading banker in San Francisco. Also, readers of this column know the Associated Press reporter at Monterey In 1S16 made a rather bad out at spelling the name of the deceased senorita. S S Mr. Wiggins said t' - tree was of the cloth of gold variety of rose, and that ooth Its size- near the ground and Its spread of limbs were enormous almost beyond belief, for one used to roses on small bushes. General Sherman died Febrn ry 14, 1891. The anly explana tion of the statement In the Asso ciated Press dispatch that the senorita never learned the news of his death Is that ahe was old then, and that the good Spanish people surrounding her were care ful to keep the news from her On. anything Is possible, if one wishes to keep alive the tradition; the romance. - - v . i . Sherman was engaged to Ellen Ewlng. daughter of his foster fa ther, Thomas Ewlng, when he was sent to California. He I carried withy him a lock of Ellen's fcair. The two had grown up together. In the Ewlng family. It Is hardly likely that red headed young Sherman thought of deserting Ellen. Their love let ters were -onstant and tender during the period. They awaited their marriage only until Sher man could support her In the style she was used to, in her well to io and'stinenL''--- father's home. They finally married, after the lieutenant had made some good money in California in sirveying during a furlough. V Ellen was religious. At one time, she told "Cnmp" that be should become a preacher as a way out of the poverty of mili tary life in the lower brackets. "Cump" was short for Tecnmseh. Sherman's middle name. He was slways "Cump" as a young man among his familiars. And one of their sons became a Roman Catholic priest, and taught at Santa Clara college, not far from Monterey and San Francisco. Don Wiggins found Monterey a city of great historic Interest, as be had expected. A ' woman died there about the time of his visit who had lived In Monterev when it was the capital for the California of three governments Sprain, up to 1821; Mexico, up to 1848; the United States after that. Don saw the restaurant of Jules SIrooneau. in which that sympathetic Frenchman supplied food to Robert , Louis Stevenson when he was hungry; where he took him to his own bed and -oora when he was sick and homeless. The room is pointed out yet. ' V: Monterey, mecca : for artists, writers and antiquarians kept the inquiring mind and wearied body of Don busy days on end; but he had much company, so many things of world Interest are to see there. v The light from the ship Natalia on which Napoleon escaped from Elba, foundered in Monterey bay In 1835, Is there, also many re covered pieces of the woodwork of the vessel.

It is a battle over a right so long ago fought for and won that during many generations- it haa been taken i for granted. Because this right has so long been taken for granted, it Is difficult' for the people to realise it is again brought Into question. Because of this state of mind, few real lie the nature! of the struggle going on between the governor of Pennsyl vania ilind the courts of the state. The I issue arose as an Incident of - the democratic primary In Pennsylvania last April. A candi date for the democratic .nomina tion fdr ' governor made charges against Governor Earle and-persons associated with him in lead ership lof the democratic organiza tion. The .man who made tne charges was one' of Mr. Earle's cabinet, the attorney general of the state, Charles J. Margiotti, who has been appointed to his office by Governor Earle 'himself. The charges, made, by Mr. Mar giotti and others can be summar ized as follows : ' K " . . That certain sums were col lected I from various interests for favorable legislation, that com missions were collected from firms 'selling' supplies to the state and contractors doing- business With the state, that some $2,000, 000 annually 'was. collected from state employes. - 'As soon as Attorney General Margiotti made his charges, Gov ernor Earle dismissed him from his offlco arid appointed a new at torney! general. Notice was taken of the charges by the court of Dauphin county, in whfch the state vCapitol Is lo cated. The prosecuting attorney or the county asked the county court to convene a grand jury to investigate. The court called a grand jury to meet Mayll. - . At once Governor Earle and his new attorney general, began - a campaign to prevent action by the court and grand jury. They went before the supreme court of the state asking it to prohibit action by the' Dauphin county court. The supreme court, after hearing, held that the Dauphin county court and grand jury were acting prop erly, t ' 7 Then Governor Earle asked the court, to direct that the conduct of.; the case be taken out ot the hands; ef the Dauphin county prosecuting attorney, and be en trusted., to the new attorney gen eral of the state (Governor Earle's appointee) er a subordi nate named by him. The court re fused.! By action after action. Gov ernor -Earle sought, without suc cess, to stop the case in the courts, or to take the case out of the hands of the Dauphin county prosecuting attorney and put it into the handa of his own attor ney general. Accompanying .this legal cam paign. Governor Earle carried on a newspaper ',and radio ' campaign of denunciation a'g a 1 n st the Dauphin county court and the grand jury. Later he extended his denunciation to the supreme court of the state. Among- other things, he asserted that the judges (of the Dauphin county court were re publicans and prejudiced. There upon the Dauphin county Judges withdrew from the case and asked the supreme court to appoint an other 'Judge. The court appointed another Judge, a democrat; from another, county. Judge Paul N. Schaeffer. Because Governor Earle had publicly impugned the grand"iury that had been called for May 11, Judge Schaeffer calledXa new grand jury to sit August -8,' next Monday. y When It was clear that the case In the courts would go on, Gov ernor! Earle called a special ses sion of the legislature for July 25. The legislature, having a demo cratic majority acting hurriedly and denying all requests for pub lic hearings, passed four mea sures.! I do not have the full text of the: measures before me; I sum marize them from newa paper con densations. The effect of the mea sures 1 is to suspend the grand Jury Investigation and to set up a legislative committee to investi gate the charges. To the legisla tive committee Is given power to take possession of the documents Windsors in West and other evidence in the case, to subpoena the witnesses and to jail any witness who does not obey the committee's subpoena. One measure provides that the at torney general of. the state may supersede the county prosecuting attorney, not only in this case, but in any similar case, at any time, in any county. Faced by this action of the leg islature. Judge Schaeffer is going on with his judicial function. "In order to prevent interference with orderly administration of the law by this court and Its grand Jury," he has- ordered that all docu ments, exhibits and other evi dence be impounded and be shown to no one except the grand jury. He has ordered that witnesses now under subpoena to testify be fore the grand Jury "are hereby directed not to testify" before the legislative Investigation. , i Next week, presumably, there will be dramatic developments. Nine out of ten persons will see all this as merely an incident of the political campaign in which Governor Earle is a candidate for senator next November. Hardly one out of ten will realize that there is here involved an attempt to trespass upon the powers of the oldest and most fundamental in stitution of law and justice, the' grand jury. To preserve; the func tion of the iecal grand jury, as against encroachment by the crown or other authority, much, blood was shed in the times when people felt that their-rights and' liberties were worth fighting for.
