Bishop Bruce Baxter
"Bill? This is Bruce."
How manv Salem residents have had
'that brief and always cheery salutation over the telephone?
Never a suggestion that the speaker was "Doctor" or 'IPres-
.ident" Just Bruce, calling up a friend. 1
Now the title is to be "Bishop. But if and when Bishop
Bruce Baxter has occasion ajrain- to call us on the telepnone,
we know it will be; "This is Bruce." The new title will mean
no more to him than those he has previously held.
Nffvertheless. congratulations are in order. It is an hon

If the reader happens to be a resident of Salem, espe
cially one closely associated in one way or another with Wil
lamette university, the news of Dr. Baxter's promotion is, to
put it bluntly, unwelcome news, une nas to pe an especially
loyal Methodist in order to react favorably to it. And that,
of course, is in itself an unadulterated compliment to
"Bruce." Willamette university is losinj? an outstandingly
viable and noDular executive leader, anl Salem is losing a cm
zen who has exerted an active and constructive influence in
many of its affairs and who has reflected widespread credit

In such a mood, Salem citizens are wondering whether

But once again we may be misjudging Bruce, uf a univer
sity president, as of a bishop, some fplks might expect dignity.
"Bruce" has always managed to ignore the very existence of
such a concept He is neither dignified nor undignified. He
is just "Bruce."
Doubtless he will continue
joy life and make a great deal out of it. And with him into
his new duties and new position of influence in the spiritual
life of the Pacific northwest go the best wishes of the people
of Salem. It is unanimous.
The Eve
The bombers, malevolent as the ancient eagles in the
arms of the former royal house of Brandenburg, are at last
seeking their prey in England. Ravenous, they fly now the
short distance from Boulogne, Calais, Brest, Amsterdam, to
release their loads of explosives over the English Midlands,
over Kent and Sussex, Cambridgeshire and; Norfolk, over
Yorkshire and the Lowlands of Scotland. Not yet have they
flown in great black droves over Middlesex, to reduce to a
shambles the city of London which Englishmen have been
a-building since Hadrian called back the legions of Rome two
milleniums ago.
But that will come. These air attacks, daily and nightly
from over the channel and from across the North Sea, are
the tragic interlude before the
or is wreaked upon the city to which all Englishmen look as
their spiritual home. There wa3 a time, not so long ago, when
., the long-told tales of the mass air attack upon London seemed
improbable, despite the clear potentialities which "were even
then recognized. But that was hefore Amsterdam was re
duced, the Dunkerque beach made a shambles; and the stage
for an act of matchless heroism, before Pans fell and with
her the light of French civilization, burning through these
long decades.
It will come, and with it, probably, the attack from
across the Narrow Seas on the shores of England herself,
untouched by conqueror since
Normandy. The delights of the conquest the Germans already
anticipate in & sated, cynical way, like an executioner wonder
ing idly whether his victim will feel the knot as it slides home.
There is much of Prussian brassiness, and little of Bavarian
or Swabian kindliness about the boasts of Hitler or his men.
The attack will probably be launched! if it is, after all,
a frontal attack, and not a war of attrition waged with a sub
marine blockade and frequent, heavy, air bombincr from

navia. It may he held back until the dark of the moon, or un
til fog obscures the advance of countless small craft moving
over the restless waves of the
banks. More likely it will come merely at night, after heavy
bombings, in mighty, overweening flood like! the hordes of
Satan pouring up from hell.
' "Britons never shall be slaves." So runs the anthem
close to the souls of the English people. In this hour it means
that though slavery be one alternative, there is still anoth
er, and that this latter is preferable. And a people that can
choose between two courses of
City Hall Debt Paid Off
Final liquidation of the 47
affords almost too ready and too obvious an opportunity to
"point a moral' One must be careful in such instances to
pick out the right "moral." ! !
Recapitulation of the financial details reveals that the
city hall's original cost was $54,675 but that lengthy procras
tination of final settlement coupled with interest charges in
creased total cost to $138,450. It is easy enough at this date
to recognize Jtnd to resent the needless waste of taxpayers'
money. But there is no need to let resentment go too far, for
to. the Salem of today either sum, viewed as' capital expendi
ture, is chicken feed. The larger amount wou. Idn't pay our
street lighting bill for five-years. I i
Back in 1893, when Salem had a population perhaps of
MX), expenditure of $54,675 for a municipal building was
a .sizeable venture. There was folly, of course, in letting the
debt run along on a warrant basis for the first six years, but
the major folly developed in the succeeding! years when no
provision was made for amortizing the debt; with the result
that unpaid interest charges actually increased it There were
several pepriods subsequent to 1909 when the entire debt
' could have been paid off within axfew years without serious
burden upon the taxpayers. The real point of the story is the
failure of succeeding city councils in those, periods to see the
wisdom of such & procedure. . i s
In other words the city, even in the face of these unwise
practices, has not suffered greatly. In view of the steady in
crease in value of the underlying property, it is fair to assume
that housing? of the municipal government has not, over near
ly a half century, cost as much as $2000 a year exclusive of
maintenance.' . - .";' : i ' I
. , Butwiser,' municipal business practices might easily
' have reduced that cost by half. And the shortsighted policy
which permitted the debt to run on unnecessarily was the
product of the inefficient and outmoded council-manager sys
tem to which we still clng. And today, though the city hall
is paid for, a council and mayor required by city charter to
direct city business under that same old system must admin
ister a bonded debt, not of $54,000 or twice that but of more
than three million dollars. - ' ;
Yes, the city hall is paid for. And there It stands, still a
substantial building; not particularly well suited for housing
.the municipality's business offices, but. admirable as a mon-t

- (Continuing; from yesterday:)
The General Palmer letter of
July IS. 1856. was thus conclude
ed: "The Indians gathered frdm
remote points giro us but ! little
trouble at the encampments; but
many of -those who bare hereto
fore resided in the Ylcinlty of the
Grand Ronde are often running
away, which requires the constant
employment of messengers, and
aometimes troops, to hunt them
up. - -
'I hare good , reasons to be
lieve that they are enticed away
by the whites who desire the
benefits of their labor; but of
this I have no positive 1 proof
beyond the statements of the -Indians,
whose evidence is ! inad
missible In oar courts of law.

"The' fish seines ordered from
San Francisco have been received,
and are taken over to the 1 coast
to aid In their subsistence! Two
of the largest have been trans
ferred to agent Thompson, at
The Dalles, far those of his dis
trict. (R. R. Thompson was then
the Indian agent at The Dalles.
He was one of the earliest of -the
builders of steamboats for the
waters of the Columbia and Wil
lamette rivers.)
"I am happy to think that, In
our operations on the Coast res
ervation will be crowned with sue
cess." (And they were, as nearly
as the average throughout the na
tion, for General Palmer was both
an able and an honest man. ; He
desired to do justice to both! the
Indians and whites. There were
lad . whites as well as bad : In
dians, and at times General
Palmer was abused by the crooked
whites for attempting to protect
the honest and peace loving In
dlans.)
S
Tnere is a letter in tne rec
ord (Report of the Commission
er of Indian Affairs for 1858) to
General Joel Palmer from Robert
C. Buchanan, Lieutenant Colonel
United States Army, dated at iPort
Orford, Oregon Territory, July S,
1856, which reads:
"Allow me to thank you for
your kind letter of the 24th

congratulate you upon the sue
cess of the experiment of send
ing the Indians by sea, as it has
produced a very favorable result.

give me pleasure to Inform him
verbally of the value of your serv

. S f
Thus ends the Buchanan letter.
It will be Interesting- to some
readers to know that the Gen
eral to whom Lt. CoL Buchanan
referred In his letter to General
Palmer was General John 1 E.
Wool, then In charge of the De
partment of the Pacific, United
States Army, with headquarters
at San Francisco. -
Also that Buchanan had been
the officer in charge- at Fort Hum
boldt, Cal.. in 1854, who warned
Capt, U. S. Grant that he must
drink less whisky or resign and
Grant resigned hoping and ex
pecting that he would never again
be a soldier; Grant as a lieutenant
had fought under Buchanan as a
captain in the Mexican war. The
wife of Buchanan was Miss Wind-
er, granddaughter of Governor
Lloyd of Maryland. He was aa
outstanding general on the Union
side in the. Civil war, when he was
familiarly known by his men as
Old Buck." But General WooL
as commander of the Department
or the Pacific, had made himself
very unpopular, and had achieved
the open hatred of both Gover
nors Stevens and Curry of Wash
ington and Oregon respectively,
by taking the stand that the local
militia could not properly handle
Indians; that only the federal of
ficers and soldiers could do that.
The two governors fought Wool
so bitterly and ably that they
caused his transfer from this
coast: i .1

the Buchanan letter, referring to
eld Chief John . and his band:
"They arrived here (Port Orford)

Reynolds and Lieut. Chandler."
That would have made! Cast.

John and his band and the other
tribes on July f. 18 St. He actu

surgeon, rode out to ' the . first

Zara led the way into a room
crowded with many dusty and bat

demanded. "So cheerful, too.
Some seem to smile at you, see?"
Although her conception was a
novel one. North nodded then
said, "This one's different you
couldn't by 'any stretch of J the
imagination say she's smiling?"
At the lend of the row he had
paused. Though of great age, the
mummy was contorted in lines
suggestive of 'greatest agony,
Lord! How dreadfully its fingers
were curved and its legs twisted.
'In several ways lone is the
most fascinating of our mum

low-pitched voice.:
'But poor lone Is different
from the : rest," Lollta protested
She doesn't look like an Egypt
ian mummy.
'That Is so," Mrs, Ladd ad
mitted. "Larkin really should not
have lone here. She was 1

during the Byzantine domination.

century, became a lost art. My

palling to think of returning td
life only to perish a second time?
A truly dreadful death?" she
commented. -
Mrs. Ladd remained viewing
the wooden coffin, until her hus
band returned, profuse in hie
apologies. ! Moving to the dining
room, they had a modest repast of
cheese and beer..
Shortly afterward the party
broke up : and Captain North
sought his room. Sitting on the
edge of th bed, he commenced to
ruminate. "Molra appears defin
itely to be playing an intricate
double game. But is she on the
level with the a L D.T Let's see.
I found her la Hasid's house with.

doesn't seem as if she were a pal
of our Egyptian friend. TJm! Sup

Armstrong." The more he thought
of it, the more he wondered.
Hasid was undoubtedly deep in
this game;
Suppose, my boy, our suave
Egyptian was the friend Natlka
Black had wanted me to meet?"
Or was it Phillipides. with whom
she was so friendly on the boat?
Softly North .snapped his fingers.
Was this ! the right train of
thought? .!-';;
Only one thing was sure the

powder analysis had proved that.
Therefore, it seemed logical to
assume that the murdered girl

Characteristically, the man

He found himself suddenly eager
to see her. Soon he and the
blonde Lollta went . out Into the
morning sunlight He suppressed
a little start of surprise to note
that Lollta' eyes looked some

wept the night before. Now, how
ever, she seemed to be In the
best of spirits.
.She led the way into a cheerful.
well-lit room where filing cabi
nets and typewriters stood about
in ordered rows. One wall was
occupied by a huge, large-scale
map of lower Egypt which North
surveyed. He turned with
smile. "What are the pins for?
"Some show where Dad is con

where the students come from."
He ran bis eyes over the map:
