On board was not only the greatest company a religious organization to a "foreign" land which Oregon then was for the Lausanne brought also the machinery for a sawmill and a grist mill, purchased in the east by ; Jason Lee with missionary funds. Bali, of the same party, was the As soon as possible after the arrival at Vancouver, work "rst teacher in ail this vast Ore was begun on construction of the mill building and this mimultJuM9i was Salem's beginning. The mill was situated on the low same year, 'and Bali was sue .spot below Broadway now occupied by the Larmer ware- ceeded by Solomon smith, second house, just opposite 960 Broadway where the first house, ? sun standing, was consxruciea as soon as me saw nun was in full operation. More of the historical details will be filled in by the Bits for Breakfast column, upon whose domain we tread unwillingly and as briefly as possible. The fact that con cerns this column is that Salem's centennial is fast approach ing. With the momentum started by Governor Sprague in his talk at the chamber of commerce Monday noon and sec onded by a voluntary sneaker who is in position to know . what a pioneer celebration can mean to a city, it appear that the uromotion of" such an observance Is on its way. But there. is the danger that it may be allowed to go by default r-as opportunity for, celebration of the first Jason Lee party's centennial slipped by in 1934. Jason Lee didn't just sit and applaud some chamber of commerce speaker's word-picture of what might be done arChemeketa-on-the-WiIlamette: it was his own; vision but the significant thing and the difficult thing he did was to convert the vision into reality. A much smaller and less difficult task lies ahead of the dozens of civic leaders who currently fill his place: Lee really started it for them. He's Ready to Tignt Overseas ';. It's almost the unanimous opinion of Americans that we shouldn't get mixed up in this war, shouldn't send an other army to fight in Europe Almost but not quite. A letter-writer to The Oregonian,-a veteran who fought in France the last time, says he's willing to go again and thinks it would be better to fight the dictatorships now along with England and France, than to have it to do later alone. t It is not alarming that one voice -should be raised in sup 4 port of such a policy ; it would become alarming if the num ' ber of such voices increased, for that would indicate a trend just the trend that we are most anxious to avoid. For the moment, we may assume that the letter-writer is just a lone exception ; heretofore we have pointed out . that the authors of . letters-to-the-editor are almost always excep tional people, one way or another. : I : In this particular case, we are sure of it The veteran writes that'I am willing to leave the question of war and peace to the president and congress.

Crisp made a short statement of regret that such action had been necessary. "We feel suck a drastic measure will best serve the team and Rea gan." ! So they'd kicked mm ontl Jusi when he was ready to behave him self. Hike dropped onto the dav enport, covered her face with her hands, what would this ao to him? Mike prepared their dinner. She dressed carefully in a simple white frock. Then she sat down to wait. He would come, or telephone. She tried to read. That. was no good . . At 10 o'clock when she was desperate, the telephone rang. It was Bob Kenyon. "Are you all right?- "Oh, yes. I was sleeping when the phone rang." He must have noticed the disappointment In her voice. "Do yon want me to drop by before I go home?" when he ran away with the baker's wife at the fort, and came to the Gervais place, near which he taught the first school In present Oregon, beginning about Septem ber 1, 1SS4. Solomon Smith's wife was Ellen, a sister or halt sister of the (then) wife ot Ger vais, named Margaret. Ellen and Margaret were daughters ot Clat sop Chief Concomly; the mother of each may have been the same woman, or each a different plural wife ot Concomly. Jason Lee mar ried Ellen to Smith Feb. 11. 1837; Margaret to Gervais Jan. 21, 1838. Smith and Ellen were converted by Lee, became 1 devout Christians, went to the Clatsop branch mis sion, where Rev. J. L. Parrish had charge, and worked faithfully with him among ber tribesmen. So the teacher of the school which the Applegatea attended, winter of 1843-4. must have been some other Smith than Solomon, for Solomon and Ellen were on the Clatsop plains by that time. It is possible that Solomon Smith and A. T. Smith taught school in the same house, near the Lee mis sion. By the way, J. L. Parrish bought the Clatsop land claim, as Aianson Beers bought the original one of the Lee Mission.) A son of the Smiths, Solomon and Ellen, became a prominent citizen of Clatsop county, was in terested in early Oregon history, and helped the writers of It in getting many twisted facts of It straightened out.

When Mike went back to the davenport she threw herself face down on It and wept. Wa this the way she'd made Handsome feel when he had ran off and mar ried Iris? How could she treat Bob sot But It was really beyond her control.' Until she fell asleep at 2 o'clock. she was sura Handsome would com. When she awakened In the morning, stul in her white dress, she got up wearily, bathed her hot face, put last nlr" -er away Keep Up Front Mike must keep np a front at the office. But Bob sensed some thing was wrong-. She felt he knew. She could see by- the hurt in his eyes that he understood her excuses. He drove her home be fore six and, when she refused to let him come up, he went away without "protest. She did not think of Bob for long. She was waiting again for Handsome. At ten o'clock the door busser sounded. She Jumped up, rushed to open it. Wish Malone walked into the room. He looked about for a moment, then he asked sharply: "Where la he?" "Handsome?" "Yes. Of course." Mike had nev er seen Malone like this before. "I don't know ..." 1 "Now look here, Mike. Ton know perfectly welL He was here night before last." He dropped Into a chair and she told him what had happened. and now she had waited for Hand some, last night. Wish had his hand over his face. He hadn't slept since Handsome disappeared. "When Mr. Crisp gave him his railroad ticket, he left without a word. He cashed it In a saloon up around 49th street about ten min utes later. He got lull value for it. The bartender la a redhot fan.

She says she hasn t heard from him and she doesn't want to." "But the bills are still unpaid? Mike asked. "Ot course. What there Is left- is in her name. I still can't see where the money went." They sat and looked at each other. "He'U come to yon eventually. I suppose. Wish said finally. "His father telephoned us a con. pie of times. I feel sorry for the old man. But Larry didn't send him any word. He just disappeared out of that bar. . . just as though the earth opened up." That is the way matters stood In mia-juiy. New York bad lost a great pitcher. The team was In second place. The fans raised a terrific hue-and-cry. But that did not alter the situation. The days dragged on. Mike had to keep up pretenses. She saw Bob Kenyon when he was so insistent that she did not have the courage to say no. At the of fice things appeared to be the same as always.

LAST TIMES TODAY together. It was Uks old times. Except that Bob did not speak ot their marriage any more. Mike was grateful that he spared her that.. In Carly September, Regan. Senior, came to town. Mike had dinner with him and he came back to her apartment to talk with her. He was trying to pay np Handsome's debts around the city. It was taking most ot his ready cash. Spoiled? "I'm afraid I spoiled him," the old man said. He'd aged years since his wife's death. "But he could always get around his mo ther and me." The elderly man took a card from his pocket It had come to him in July, not long after Hand some had disappeared, it was mailed from New York and read: "Don't worry about me. I'm go ing to sea." Mr. Reagan shook his head I'm hoping that is true. They've been through the hospitals, every place. And not a trace of him. How could he disappear on land? Ev ery kid In the whole country would know him." Before Mr. Regan left, he asked Mike for a promise. "If be should come to you, or if you should hear from him, yonll let me know? Mike promised, but she was losing hope.

Working upon this basis, some authorities here have been look ing into British and German trade with Latm America, They have fonnd ample cause for British sincerity In this fight and little around to believe she might matte peace until Hitler aggression Is eliminated. - The figures show Hitler has more than restorea uermany b ore world war trade with the .20 leading Latin American republics and has done practically all of it at the expense of the British. His nre-world war percentage ot the Latin market was 16.55: in 1918 4s was gone entirely: in 1937 he had 16.3 per cent of it back: In' 1938 exactly 17.1. Britain had 24.42 per cent of Latin buying in 1913; only 12.6 in 1937 and this diminished to 12.2 in 1938. The IT.

The prospect is foreseen here as a certain result bt the Japanese-Russian peace deal. !

They blame the loss on the presidential banshee Tom Cor coran and Senator Pepper of Flor ida, both of whom haunted the Young Democrat convention in Pittsburgh in behalf of their own slate of officers.
