Orville Wrie-rrf who never father did. is reported to be - use to which hia invention, SO-odd years: after he and his brother Wilbur made theirtirst flights. Today it has become the most, deadly weapon of de structioa ever known to mankind, 1 . Misirfvinffa have also been expressed recently by a. fa- molis scientist Dr. Paul de Kruif, as to the possible results of theltom-splitting achievement of Dr. E. 0. Lawrence. Dr. de Krnirs fears that the cyclotron may become a "Frrnken v stein monster" have to'do, not so much with new destructive powers which may be released as with the economic upheaval that, may attend the tapping of unlimited atomic power. - That man's conquest of the physical elements has pro t pressed much too rapidly in' relation to his progress, or lack Kot progress, in the intelligent control of social forces, has been remarked repeatedly but the thesis has never been illustra 1 ted quite so eloquently as in the last two weeks' developments in Europe. One difficulty, it may be argued, is that once the inven tor or physical scientist has done his work, any ordinary man is capable of appropriating the results to his own use, where though the social scientist may "know all the answers," putting them into practice in a free society entails their ac ceptance by the majority. That argument leads toward a ne gation of democracy. A totalitarian rule by leaders of suptr ior intelligence is necessitated, it may be argued, by man's new-found mastery over physical forces. But, fortunately the fallacy of this argument is just' as emphatically refuted by current events. It; is not the opera ' tion bf democracy, whatever its other faults, which has pre cipitated this bloody misapplication of harnessed physical - forces. Nor has democracy, where exercised by literate, in telligent'peoples, failed within itself. If democracy is in peril the menace is external and guilt in the present holocaust rests with the totalitarian elements. It has been demonstrated, once for all, it may be hoped, that where autocracy is inevit able, it is equally inevitable that leadership be seized by those who are neither broadly intelligent nor humanitarian in prin ciple. ' That solution may be discarded. Must, then, scientific progress be curtailed until average social intelligence catches up? The hard realities of the pres ent once again provide the answer. Curtailed by whom ? The best social intelligence is not, just now, giving the orders for . this; world's conduct. The, Wright brothers are not respon sible for this wholesale destruction ; if they had not invented the airplane someone else would have, for men had already been working on the problem for decades and its solution act ually awaited only the development of adequate and suffi ciently compact motors. And i the, scientists devoted to hu manity's best interests do not harness the atom, scientists in spired by more self ish aims will do it if it can.be done. Sci entific progress cannot be dammed ; society's hope rests in somewhat comparable advancement in social intelligence and, if that hope prove vain there is only one other. Plaintain, Campanile, Euthanasia, Adventitious ' These are the words, solpe are informed, that a young lady, aged 14, learned to spelpas a part of her training for victory in a national spelling7 bee sponsored by a, Louisville, Ky., newspaper, She mastered their syllabification, their . vojarel sequences, and, one trusts, their pronunciation, by the "hardy means of reading a 960-page dictionary as less vigor ous persons would a best-seller, or even the; comics. Here in deed is intellectual fortitude, and learning in the raw. : Now there is no questidn but that the words "plaintain, j campanile, euthanasia, arid adventitious," three nouns and j one, we believe, adjective, are important cOrapoaents of the I great mass of words and terms which comprise our native tongue. The only doubt which can remain, in fact, is the'rdcjDf which he claimed to be utility which they may have it is difficult to imagine such a young person, manifestly charming thought she be, using "euthanasia" in conversation with her friends in the eighth grade, or "adventitious" in de scribing her ability as a speller or hop-scotch player to her parents. This is perhaps not important, butvis worth remem bering. ' : " , ,. i '. . On the other1 hand, there can be only profound respect gjfor the temerity of the young person in facing-, alone, the '60 pages of Webster, or, if she is a free spirit, Funk and " Wagnalls. Her courage we have noted above, and it is only necessary to observe that this should be a conclusive answer to those who assert that modern education is, nothing but the flowering of little souls of their own accord assisted only by soap carving and accessory arts a sort of unmoved-mover process, abetted by Proctor and Gamble. Like the youthful Mozart, this young Jady turns from childish pleasures to the realm of art, in her case perusal of the dictionary, nor will I she be turned aside from her appointed goal. Perhaps this is the much spoken of democratic way. Who is to pass judgment on the young lady who can spell plaintain, campanile, and the rest? jSurely not we. One can on! hazard, that if, in learning their' vowels, and the se quence of their consonants, she pay equal attention to their derivation and meaning, and in her1 speech,, long after she is a 14-year old girl, use them with propriety, accuracy, and, above all, rarity, she will indeedhave accomplished something ' of lasting value. Spelling is a dark art; but, finally mastered, it is essentially mechanical; arid the achievement still to be won is the ability to, use, as well as spell, the words of the language. Here indeed would be true distinction. 1 ; Public Power in Seattle" ; Seattle City i Light rate reductions were approved the other day by Seattle city councilmeni,-, The Associated Press . dispatch announced that the new ratea would save consumers 200,000 a year, particularly in the higher "brackets of home j consumption.- Tx , -7 ' : Analysis of the new rates reveals that 56 kilowatt hours r wilt cost $1.75 instead of $2 under present rates; 100 kwh will cost $2.95 instead of $3; 220 kwh, $4.97, instead of $5.40. Most recent reductions of Portland General Electric, a : wicked private corporation, brought residential rates down to these figures : j 50 kwh, $1.75 ; 100 kwh, $3 ; 220 kwh, $5.05. Thus the Seattle householder, who has , been paying more j than ther Portland user for similar amounts of electric ty, will 1 now save a nickel on.100 kwh and 8 cents on 220 kwh.' But I he will pay that "tremendous" saving, and a lot more along ; with it, over to government because Seattle City Light doesn't 1 carry its share of .the tax load.'' i : - Journalistic JBlitzkrieg ; i ' "We are pre-empting all of North Marlon county as our' r field, with th municipalities of St. Paul.

RC?fORICK Direct descendant! of -l40 first whlt man to claim a property, right, on part Salem site Uvea in this J ! rftys A ( ConOflulnj from yesterday: ) Quoting farther from Htm. "3. B. Haston's interview with Dr. Wm. Gelaer: "Ilef t Honolulu In Febr o ary, 184 iT-and, came , to Monterey (Cal.) on tfirAmer! caa ship LauBanae, I had procur ed a passport at Honolulu for 1" bterey.i I went In a coaster, to ( the site of) San Francisco, which: was then a small place, i ; Tha Hudson's Bay j;cpmpanjt had a double loc house. There was also a cabined saloon, and! billiard hall.- and a hotel partly finished, and there were about 100 people there. At least half of them were transients. I re mained there only a short tlm. I Went across the bay opposite to the mouth of a small creek, where I got a bull and a boatload of I cows and took them up th (Sacramento) river to Sutter's Port, where I remained till, the spring of 1842, bat heard noth ing of Mr. Clark. 1 11 surTeyed Captain Sutter's claim for him. I had charffe of the fort while he was gone to Monterey for supplies. He had a lo: of hard-drinking, rpiigfc men around him. . They complained that I would not let them have whiskey while hewas gone. ''Sutter was a hard drinker himself. He had been an officer in i the Swiss army, and had left a Wif& and children in Switzer land. He gave me for my services three square miles of land which was situated In the forks of the Yuba and Feather rivers ' "W 'In the spring of 18 42 I trad ed everything I had to Sutter for horses and mules and started fori vhe states. I got as far as Bear river, and I was wining to go' on by the southern route, via Bents Fort, but most of the party refused to go unless we went the northern route. I refus ed'to do this and left the party and went to the head of Salt Lake, and from there to Fort Hall. In the party going to Fort Hall were Campbell, Childs and Hopper, a young Englishman. and Swinger. When we got to Fort Hall we met Medorem Craw ford, Dr. -Elijah White and two women, mother and daughter, Mr. , Penny and wife, fcer sister and- child, Trask (for whom Trask river wa3 named .afterward), and a widow he "afterward married. There was some very unplea sant gossip about Dr.. White and one of the women. White had been a Methodist missionary but had been 'fired.' He was after ward Indian sub-agent, and fin ally went back east, and I lost trark of him." (Dr. Geiger evidently encoun tered at least a part of the- 184 immigration coming to Oregon, led by Dr. White, and Dr. White himself. Dr. White came to th Jason Lee mission with the first reinforcement party of 1837; was dismissed by Leo after the coming it the Lausanne party of 1840; partly on account of his (Dr. White's) treatment of mis sionary women. Dr. White went to Washington, D. C., j got him self appointed sub-agent for In dians west of the Missouri river; contracted many debts in admin-, i lsterlng that orflce. In the con- governor Of-Oregon: went back to Washington agaln hoping to get his debts cleared ubycon gress. and that be might become Oregon's territorial delegate in congress; returned, again, and tried to start a city at the mouth of the Columbia on the, north side; finally went to San Fran cisco, practiced medicine; died there In March. 1879; certainly had a peculiarly beetle career. Did some good In early pioneer ing days of Oregon, with all his faults and foibles. He was the first medical missionary erer sent to a foreign land.) Resuming the Hon. S. B. Hus ton interview with Dr. Wm. Geiger: "I came down to the (Willamette) valey in August, 18 42. When Johnson left for the Sandwich Islands, I loaned him a small amount of money. He bought a writing desk for me at Honolulu and sent it back by the Hudson's Bay. company. I found It awaiting me at (Fort) Van couver on my return. This desk I still have. S V "I sold quite a number of my horses and' mules to the immi grants of 1842. The balance I brought down to the valley with me. 1 made my home for a while with Alvin T. Smith, near Forest Grove. In October I had a letter from Dr. Whitman,; asking me to come and take ' charge of ; his mission .while . he went east. I started on November 2nd, 1842; WhitnxaShad gone when I, arriv ed there. I was nearly three weeks .on the road. Thomas Otchins traveled with me a por tion, if not. all, the way, I re mained in charge of the mission -until Whitman returned.! 1 "A short time prior to the ar rival of the immigration of 1843, some of Mr. Spalding's family J (at the branch mission at Lap wai of : Whitman) ; had sent' an Indian out to meet the immigra tion '- and ask Dr. Whitman to come and attend to the sick. He left; Sticcas, an Indian ( Cay use chief), to pilot th immigrants and v himself turned off to come by Spalding's. The sick ones were much better - before he arrived. Ke and I rode together, then, down to the mission, and I turn ed things over to him. After; re maining a few days, I came back down to the (Willamette) valley, if (:.:-: - : ! ,LX first selected a claim where Salem now stands, but I gave It np; 'to satisfy the Methodist peo ple who wanted It or part of it I ! then took ' my f (donation land ) claim sear- Forest Grove,' wihica I Still own.
