THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO.
CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, President
- Member of Tha Associated Press
Tha Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all
news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this newspaper.
Not Dumb but Hapvire ,
No one to our knowledge ever ordered a
calf s head in a restaurant, so the story couldn't -be
true, ' As the story goes, the waiter brought
it in but the customer, a loyal laborite, carefully
inquired if it was a "union calfs head." The
waiter said it wasn't but that he could bring
one. What he brought looked just like the first
one and the customer so remarked.
It is the same one," the waiter conceded.
"But it's a union calfs head now. I took out
the brains.''
No, the story isn't true and when applied
to organized labor as a whole its implication
isn't pertinent enough to be funny in the strange
way that such stories are supposed to be funny
except to those. persons so constituted that
they will believe anything that may be said
against labor.
On the other-hand, the story falls a Utile
short of illustrating the mental limitations of
t?C- representatives of labor who pulled the
main switches in the Kansas City power plants
the other night at midnight.
As one writer vividly described it, "the
whole city was blacked out instantaneously.
Surgeons operating in hospitals were plunged
into darkness; patients in respirators began to
strangle; the waterworks pumps stopped; molt
en metal in defense factories began to freeze;
all industry run -by electricity came to a halt;
elevators and streetcars went dead where they
were."
It, was a strike, yes. But it wasn't a strike
called because of a dispute over hours or wages,
or any matter to which management or the pub
lic which was the real sufferer, was a party.
Cause of the trouble was a dispute between two
unions and the climax resulted from a ruling
by the National Defense Mediation board. It
wasn't even a final ruling on their dispute, but
merely a decision that certain agencies had
Jurisdiction in the case.
Civil authorities acted promptly to curb the
outlaw strike and restore electrical service; re
sponsible labor officials properly condemned
the hotheads' lawless acts. The incident serves
to illustrate that in the case of a public utility,
sitdown strike or any form of strike which
abruptly and without warning disrupts service,
cannot be tolerated and that there is a public
obligation which greatly modifies the right to
strike even in orderly fashion.
But the principal lesson taught is the folly
of labor, or employers, or any group, attempt
ing ruthlessly to ignore public opinion and the
public, interest. The public is the final arbiter
of all disputes, if the public is duly aroused. A
calf from which the brain had been removed
wouldn't have jdone what those labor leaders
in Kansas City did. That takes an active brain,
one haywire.
Annual Warning
"Words to the wise" offered here recently
in relations to the extra hazards of driving in
the early portion of the rainy season did not,
we. fear, save any lives. One never can tell
about lives saved by warnings, for no statistics
can be kept. Recent statistics of traffic deaths
in the Salem vicinity are not, however, cheering.
Perhaps we may take refuge in the assumption
that persons who need to be warned about such
hazards never-read editorials.
Yet there is nothing to do but try again.
Hunting season, the sport page reminds, is upon
us. Each hunting season in Oregon has its
fatality list. Each year grimly facetious com
ment implies that more hunters than deer are
killed. Unfortunately the statistics are poorly
kept. .Yet we have a suspicion that if statistics
were at hand, they would prove the hazards of
deer hunting to be decidedly greater than the
hazards of traffic, number of participants con-
sidered. ' '
Whatever the number of fatalities, it is too
great. Every gun casualty of the hunting sea
son is preventable.
"Shoot first,' was the president's order to
' the navy. The reverse admonition is suitable
: for hunters. "Be sure first that it is a deer."
For the rest, we take the liberty of quoting
a series of suggestions prepared by W. J, Smith,
' president of the Oregon Wildlife federation:
Don't trespass get permission.
v . Dont cut wires nor leave sates open. '
Don't run your dogs through a crop that
will be damaged by your actions.
. Dont shoot - near a house, near people,
across the highway, nor among livestock.
. ' Skin out your antelope, deer or elk; it will
not only be easier to keep while in camp, but
Y will taste better.
Be sure you know what you are shooting
at Dont point or handle a gun around people
remember,: that it is the "empty" gun that
kills.
Don't forget that a rifle bullet may travel
: farther than you "thought"
i Don't mix drinking with hunting do one
Or the other. ; Otherwise, you may find your- '
self looking at one of your pals through the
sights of your gun, or on a marble slab.
Last but not least: WATCH YOUR FIRE.
May it be said when the season is over that not
a single fire was chargeable to our hunters.
READ YOUR GAME-UPLAND-Ml CRA-TORY-REGULATIONS.
Think to conserve
what we have, while you enjoy the sport of
i hunting this year.
KieV and Red Morale
Seven universities,- seven museums, 17
technical schools and some of the world's most
notable botanical gardens or whatever may be
left of them after the siege of Kiev not to men
tion many great industrial plants including
Russia's principal sugar industry, have fallen
into nazi hands if communiques issued : from
Adolph Hitler's personal propaganda factory are
accurate.
The press services seemed to credit these
communiques despite the contrary Moscow ac
counts. Presently we shall have one definite
measure of the comparative accuracy of German
and Russian news reports; in the meantime it
will do no harm to assume for the sake of dis
cussion, that the nazi version is correct.
There is no minimizing the physical setback
"Wo Faoor sways Ut; No Pear Shall Awe"
From first Statesman. March 28, 1851
which the Red cause has in such case suffered.
But, leaving aside for the present the circum
stances which are still in doubt, as to the ex
tent of soviet army losses in the Ukraine, it is
safe to observe that loss of Kiev is not as sever
a blow to the allied cause as the loss of moral
which may be its result and which may have
been its cause.
In this matter too, time will tell. Immedi
ate consternation is not due to the fact that Kiev
fell, but that it fell with such apparent abrupt
ness. This does not harmonize with the street
fighting, house-to-house defense and "scorched
earth" tactics to which Stalin's forces were said
to have been committed. It immediately raises
doubt as to their will, rather than their ability,
to hold Moscow and to carry on with the aid,
particularly in the north, of King Winter.
It is another of the great crises of this war.
GOP Backs LaGuardia
There were dozens of reasons, this column
remarked some weeks ago, why republicans of
New York City should turn their backs upon
Mayor LaGuardia, and only one simple little
reason why they should support him; he was
a good mayor.
No long-distance political prescience is
claimed; the answer was equally simple.
Rejecting a candidate of unassailable party
regularity but of uncertain qualifications for
the office, the republicans have renominated
LaGuardia for a third term by a substantial
majority.
Ultra-liberals predicted a few years ago,
after Senator Wheeler had fought the court
packing bill, that he couldn't be reelected in
Montana. On the contrary, last November he
received "the largest vote ever given any
candidate for office in the state of Montana'
according to the congressional directory.

what would happen if the election were this

The Free French are giving President
Roosevelt a gorilla, said to be the biggest and
wickedest in captivity. There's supposed to
be some significance to it, but to our mind the
tieup involves a word often pronounced the
same but spelled "guerrilla."
Changes Outlined
In Priority Rules
With a number of basic changes made in
the priorities system in the past few weeks, Wil
liam D. Shannon, district manager, division of
priorities, has outlined how developments and
regulations will affect industrial relations in the
northwest and other parts of the country.
"The main effect of these changes," he said,
"will be increasing attention to the distribution
of critical materials, a strengthening of enforce
ment activities, efforts to put defense needs even
more uncompromisingly ahead of non-defense,
and a policy of cutting down or even cutting off
less essential requirements for critical materials
so that more essential needs, especially the na
tional defense needs can be fulfilled promptly.
"Among the important developments which
will affect industrial operations are the follow
ing: "I. Priorities regulation No. 1 has been is
sued by the director of priorities. This regula-
. tion requires specifically that all defense orders
must be accepted, even if this means pushing
aside and deferring non-defense orders.
"21 Regulation No. 2 has been issued, mak
ing mandatory all preference ratings, whether
these ratings are for army and navy orders,
civilian orders, or other contracts. This is im
portant, because heretofore only army and navy
orders carried fully mandatory preference
ratings. 1
' The new supply priorities and alloca-
tions board has been created by the government
to provide centralized control over the defense
program and to streamline the all out defense
effort.
"4. The supply priorities and allocations
board has adopted-the policy of not expanding
productive capacity to meet purely civilian de
mand at this time if such expansion would re
quire large, quantities of materials critically
needed for defense,
"Although it is still too soon to give a def
inite statement of policy, the actions listed make
clear some of the points of emphasis which are
to be given increasing attention.
"It may be said specifically, in addition,
that there will be increasing efforts to find out
the facts about inventories and keep them at
reasonable levels, to prevent hoarding, and to
conserve critical materials.
"What the future will hold insofar as pri
orities is concerned in its broadest sense was in
dicated by the first official statement of the
supply priorities and allocations board issued on
September 2. In this statement it was said: 'Our
general policy is simple. Production shall be
stimulated and organized to the limit of the
nation's resources. Every available man and
machine must be employed either on direct
defense requirements or at work essential to
civilian economy. Along this road lies protec
tion of our freedom and of the basic economy
necessary to maintenance of that freedom.
. " 'We must forego the less essential that
we may have an abundance of the more essen
tial. By less essential industry is meant those
industrial activities involving use of materials
and production facilities which sap supplies and
machinery resources necessary to a realistic all
out defense program. In some cases this may

; Every means will be employed to expedite this
process with a minimum loss of time for men
and machines. But the less essential must go."

Oregonians discovered their
a
gold, broke state into Union:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
The heading for this series
says,' first, that Oregonians dis
covered the gold of the Califor
nians, and, second, that Oregon
ians broke that state into the
Union.
; As to the first the poet lau
reate of California, John Steven
McGroarty, said in his double
column of the Los Angeles
Sunday Times, for the issue of
February 26. 1939, that: "It re
mained lor a-Jerseyman, named
James ' Wilson Marshall, to
make the great find (the dis
covery of gold in California) at
last"
S
Then this writer typed for
the issue of March 12, 1939, of
The Statesman, what follows:
"It is the purpose of this col-'
umnist to show that Marshall
was a pioneer of Oregon, and
that other men were working
with him when gold was discov
ered in Sutter's mill race, two
of them other Oregon men.
. m S S
"Also, that more than three
years before, gold was twice
discovered in California, by
three young women who came
on to Oregon, and had been
residents of what became the
state of Oregon nearly two
years when Marshall and his
companions found gold in Sut
ter's mill race.
"Also, that Stephen Staats,
long a prominent Oregon citi
zen, remembered by hundreds
of men and women still living
here, always testified that Cap
tain Bennett was the first to
see the particles of the shining
metal in the mill race which
the three Oregon men were
helping to build."
S s
Here are proofs that are con
clusive concerning the discov
" ery of gold in California by
Oregonians land persons who
were on their way to Oregon:

Today 's Garden
By ULLTB L. MADSEN
C. B. sends me a snapshot of
a garden and asks me if I can
identify it j
Answer: The picture was
taken in Lambert's gardens,
Portland, but C. B. forgot to send
her return address so I cannot
send the picture back until she
does.
I would really appreciate if
everyone writing inquiries would
sign their full names and ad
dresses. Only the initials need
be used in the column anyway.
D. R. says that her snapdrag
ons have been full of rust during
the past six weeks and wants to
know if she can save them.
Answer: A stiff dusting pro
gram of the plants and ground
about them might save them for
next year's bloom, but I doubt
If they are worth it Probably
it would be much better to pull
them up and bum them and
plant a disease resistant variety
next spring. You can get thr
plants for as little as 15 cents a
dozen.'. Wintering over diseased
unless tney are some very spe
cial color or variety, but the dis -ease-resistant
snapdragons art
being used more' and more
Growing other varieties hardly
worth the trouble.

Truman Bonney and his
brother, Jairus Bonney, went to
California with their families
in 1845 and came on to Oregon
in the spring of 1846, making
the last part of their trek (Cal
ifornia to Oregon) on horse
back, over the old California
Trail of the Hudson's Bay com
pany; the trial that was the ex
tension of El Camino Real (the
King's Highway) of the Span
ish Franciscans who first
brought California under the in
fluences of civilized society.
S
When the Bonney clan wagon
train, which was a part of the
Todd-Swasey " company, of Wil
liam Todd, a cousin of Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln, arrived at
the foot of the Sierras on the
western side (1845), a stop of
three days was made, so the
women might wash their soiled
clothing, etc., and their tired
oxen be given a needed rest
Camp was made on a clear,
cold creek, one of the tributaries
of the Sacramento river. The
young folks had a lot of fun,
wading in the beautiful stream.
, S S
Lydia Bonney, daughter of
Truman Bonney, who became
Mrs. Cooley and whose descend
ants are many in Salem and in
a wide field, and her cousin, -Harriet
Bonney, daughter of
Jairus Bonney, and Benjamin
F. Bonney, brother or half
brother of Harriet wading to-,
gether, found in the stream
particles they thought resem
bled grains of wheat and pick
ing them up carried them to
camp.
There Dr. R. Gildea, a mem
ber of the Todd-Swasey com
pany, examined the specimens.
He declared them pure gold.
He asked the girls and Benja
min to fill a bottle with the
grains, which they did.
m S
He told Jairus Bonney they
would all go back the following
spring, and get enough gold to
make themselves the richest
persons In the country. Lydia
Bonney was then about 15, and

An entry in the diary of
-Captain John F. Sutter of Sut

at 4 o'clock p. m." Don stood
for Mr. or Sir. 1
L. W. Hastings of the 1842
(Dr. White) immigration to
Oregon, who stirred up a good
deal of discussion in the Oregon
Country, and then moved on to
California, administered the
estate of Dr. Gildea.
S
The death of Dr. Gildea so
soon made his plan go glimmer
ing to return to the place of the
original gold find and become a
billionaire (which was possi
ble), along with Jairus Bonney
and his people.
Jairus Bonney and family
upon arrival in the Willamette
valley in 1846 took up a dona

now the city of Hubbard, and
the family prospered and grew
large in descendants.

eased down at; the emergency
entrance of a hospital. But he
managed to whisper feverishly
to David, "Keep mum whatever
they ask. It's my story not
ready to break." He half rose;
sank back. "It has nothing to
do with Carlie's murder. Swear
you won't " Then he fainted.
The truck driver had told
what he knew; very little, but
enough to start things. David
heard an interne whisper to the
nurse. Police were on their way.
So meddling busybodies had
identified him with the rumble
seat murder; the whole ugly
business would be rehashed. ,
"Thanks, Doc. You've fixed me
up fine. Ill be going now." Da
vid sauntered toward the door,
his blue eyes alert Under his
bandages. He had resisted any
attempt to put him to bed. Upon
the doctor's nod, the pretty
nurse blocked the door.
David grinned at her. "I might
stick around if you'd hold my
hand," he said.
"Better stay a while Far
land." The doctor was an ami
able man, but a note of author
ity edged his tone.
