Fern Ridge Dam Dedication .
. A million and a third cubic yards of earth
were moved and more' than ten thousand cubic
yards of concrete were laid with more than a
million pounds of steel reinforcement, in con
structing the Fern Ridge dam on the lazy Long
Tom in Lane county, first unit of the Willamette
Project to be completed. The physical results
of this physical construction naturally are im
posing. Opportunity to admire them will be
afforded the general public on Friday when
formal exercises of dedication are held. -
Naturally too, speakers at the dedication pro
gram will accord due praise to the engineers,
who prepared detailed plans and to the con
tractors and workmen who put those plans into
execution. ".
In addition however there should and doubt
less will be recognition that Fern Ridge dam is
the initial completed achievement in an under
taking which is, taken as a whole, by far the
most ambitious group effort ever attempted in
western Oregon, overshadowing in its ultimate
scope and significance even Bonneville. In bring
so great an undertaking even to this stage of
partial realization, citizens of the Willamette
valley have performed a vast amount of work
which cannot be measured in cubic yards nor
in tons.
Originally there was an idea, a vision; later
it was necessary to sell that idea to a sufficient
number of citizens in the affected area citizens
who would work toward its realization. After
that there was a fight to convince the army
engineers for a while an uphill fight, one bat-,
tie front in which was the Salem armory,
. crowded with farmers whose lands had been
damaged by flood, one dismal day more than
five years ago. Congressional committees and
congress as a whole had later to be convinced
and there were a great many trips on the part
of Willamette valley citizens to and from the na
tional capital.
Now Fern Ridge dam, built at a cost of $2,
00,000, stands ready to store water this winter
. in its 9639-acre reservour, largest of the group
of nine projected. To the extent of the 95,000
acre' feet which is its capacity, it stands ready
to relieve any flooding which may occur in the
rainy season which already has made a couple
of false starts.
Fern Ridge reservoir is perhaps best situated
of all the project units, for ready utilization of
this stored water in irrigation. In such utiliza
tion there will be further need of local initiative.
It is likewise fairly well situated from the stand
point of general benefit, spread throughout the
greater portion of the valley, of its flood con
trol function. v
Farther up the valley, work is proceeding with
gratifying dispatch on the Cottage Grove dam,
second unit of the $68,000,000 project.' Due to
,. the defense emergency and the influence of
priorities and the current premium on man pow
er, loyal backers of the project who assembled
t Fern Ridge on Friday must realize there is
little likelihood that other units will be started
in the near future unless it is decided in the
national capital that they are needed for power
development Such a possibility exists in the
case of the Detroit dam, the one nearest to
Salem.
Barring this possibility, the remainder of the
project must bow to the more urgent need of
national security. Completion of this one unit
is the more gratifying, in that it will function as
a concrete evidence of the promise that, in due
season, the entire project will be completed and
will speed to fruition the destiny foreseen for
the Willamette valley by it earliest settlers a
century ago.
Sinkings Kept Secret?
If any German submarines have been sunk
by United States naval 'vessels it hasn't been
reported; and if any German submarines are
sunk hereafter by our naval forces, it probably
won't be reported, Secretary Knox""Said Wed
nesday. - - .
If that is to be the navy's policy there is not
much than can be done about it for, regardless
of the voluntary censorship, the press associa
tions are under a distinct handicap in the mat
ter of reporting naval" engagements by the eye
witness method. If a submarine is "spurlos ver
senkt" the nazis, too, are not likely to have
word of it and of the nationality of the at
tacker, even if they deemed it expedient to
admit such losses.
It may be to the nation's and the navy's best
Interests to withhold such information from the
public -We have a notion, though, that the pub
lic isn't going to like being kept in ignorance
of "the score," and it may be disposed to criticize
without warrant the apparent ineffectiveness of
our patrols in the Atlantic. ,

Congratulations v
Out of some seven thousand Future Farmers
of America chapters in the high schools of the
United States, the Salem high school chapter
has been cited as one of the four best. The
gold emblem of such recognition recently pre
sented, is the first of its kind and significance
to come to Oregon.
Congratulations are due to the Salem high
FFA boys and to the faculty members who have
encouraged (their outstanding endeavors. They
have brought honor to their school community
and state, through activities which are a credit
chiefly to themselves as individuals. , -
High honors are no novelty to Salem's high
school, either in 'academic or extra-curricular,
athletic or intellectual competition. This par
ticular honor however serves locally as a re
minder of the valuable contribution which rural
territory in the vicinity makes to the student
personnel of our jiigh school. The cooperative
labors and mutual association of young people
of city and rural backgrounds comprise a note
worthy advantage of the modern educational
program.
These little paragraphs are supposed to be
light and bright. Their production is becoming
more and more of a chore as the world's aspect

WASHINGTON, Oct 29 Mrs. Roosevelt is acting
as publicity agent for what seems to be a solidifying
administration firmness against doing anything to
top wage increases which are inflating prices. To

Paul Halloa
concerns, thus leaving out the bulk of the workers
of the county, including himself. He deduces that
wages in factories are only 40 per"ent of industrial
production costs. He finds wages in i the manu
facturing industry have increased only 17 per cent.
Voila Mr. Lubin concludes a mere 7 per cent (40
per cent of 17) of the price increase is due to wage
increases. .... .
i " ,
The true facts can be proved.
Gross national income last year amounted to
$86,000,000,000 of which $48,000,000,000 was paid
out in wages and salaries. That means at least 56
per cent of production (not 4 per cent) is known
to have gone into wages. The department of com
merce says total salaries and wages (not just those
in the manufacturing industry) have increased 35
per cent since before the war. Voila If you con
sider the whole picture, 20 per cent (56 per cent
of 35) of the price increase is due to wage in
creases. Obviously, the influence of rising wages
Is about 3 times as important in inflating our
economy as Mr. Lubin claimed.
Mrs. Roosevelt's argument is as bad as Mr.
Lubin's basic data. While she fears a fixed price
ceiling would put the union worker in slavery,
she fails to muster a note of fear that business can
exist if wage-costs are to increase indefinitely while
prices are to be limited.
A wage scale rising against a fixed price ceiling
could crush every business in the country Into back
ruptcy at a time when the free capitalistic system
and free labor are what we are supposed to be
righting for. Certainly Mrs. Roosevelt mentioned
the wrong amendment. The fourteenth prevents
seizure of property without due process of law, and
that is what is being done when the government
tells business: "We are going to let wages continue
to rise but we are going to stop prices with our
forthcoming legislation."
With this kind of policy carried to the fullest,
the workers of the country might eventually find
themselves working for the government instead of
private enterprise. That prospect cannot be tanta
lizing. Mrs. Roosevelt and the administration have not
practiced in their own business of government what
they preach for private enterprise.
Wages of government workers have not been in
creased. Nobody is rapping Mr. Donald Nelson's knuckles
these days. Some officials -yho tried it received
a life size view of knuckles in action.
It may now be related that immediately after .
Nelson's SPAB defense regime was set up. House
Coordinator Palmer got someone to slip a letter
on Mr. Roosevelt's desk giving him authority to
handle priorities on all defense housing including
federal works authority (Carmody), federal hous
ing administration, etc ' -i
Mr. Nelson heard about this and immediately let
Vice President Wallace and Harry Hopkins know
that he was not going to submit to this typical
Washington defense game. Wing clipping has been
a common practice which has hampered the activi
ties of an the other defense leaders In one way
. or anothcc '
When word of the situation got back , to Mr.
Roosevelt, he said he did not' recall signing such
a letter to Palmer and would rescind it, which he
. did. : .''yy: - --"V . -
Mr. Nelson also may get a congressional medal
for bravery in successfully rebuffing the most famed
new deal wing clipper, Mr. Ickes. (whose own el
bows seem to be in pretty bad shape right now).
Mr. ickes tried to control all oil policies as co
ordinator but soon found Mr. Nelson would noj
relinquish his final say on priorities and allocations.
Mr. Ickes had no real authority to do anything. He
bulled his way through the policy by forcing vol
untary cooperation. Nelson, however, had legal
authority and kept it ""'-"
It was Nelson who turned Ickes down cold on the
; proposed pipeline and broke up the last vestige of
the gas curtailment policy. . . '
With these displays of unique personal' lnitia-
ttve, Nelson has established himself as the dominant
existing force of the defense program.

Today's Garden
By LHUE L, MADSEN
All rhododendrons do not re
quire shade. Some even like al
most full sun. In the latter
group come the R. carolinianum "
which grows a little scraggily if
planted in much shade. It forms
a much more compact, pleasant
looking bush if given sun for at
least three-quarters of the sunny
part of the day. R. catawbiense
'twill do equally well In sun and
will flower more there. The R.
maximum, frequently called' the
rocebay rhododendron, likes
shade best and becomes rather
unattractive if given too much
sun. .
C E. asks me to join in the
' "national discussion on whether
birds are more of a nuisance or
a benefit in the garden.
This is perhaps a matter of
personal opinion. It you have
berry shrubs and you are very -eager
to retain the berries, you
will have to resort to some self- '
protection against the ravages of
birds. But, somehow, I cannot
imagine a garden without birds
and I always feel that my berry
shrubs axe serving a real pur- -pose
when the bushes are filled
with birds enjoying the berries.
". While birds as C E. suggests) '
do not clean the garden from

be given credit for their work. .

call that it was written about 20
years ago; so some changes have
taken place since.
For instance, in parts of Cali
fornia, especially in the southern
districts of that state, many
thousands of acres of walnut or
chards were taken up, 10, 15
and 20 or more years ago, and
orange, lemon and other trees
substituted, with the idea of
maintaining better paying crops.
s s s
There have been changes in
the walnut districts of Oregon,
where prune growing has be
come more favored and followed,
in the new acreages planted
and, in the immediate past,
throughout the Willamette val
ley, a preference has lately been
given to filberts.
All three crops are potentially
profitable in this section, and
the acreages in all three should
grow. How can this be brought
about?
The walnut crop of Oregon
for 1941 is about 25 per cent
above that of 1940, according to
an authority this writer believes
to be among the most reliable.
But, this columnist thinks the
same authority would agree, all
the three crops mentioned should
be vastly increased, and that
this can be profitably accom
plished. Walnut and filbert coopera
tives are doing fair work in Sa
lem, Amity, Lebanon, Dundee,
Gaston, Oregon, and Vancouver,
Washington. But the number
should be increased, and there
should be cooperation among the
cooperatives.
This applies to prunes, too.
There is nothing in its domain
finer than the Oregon prune
the "tart-sweet" Oregon prune,
that had its origin in Italy.
Our prune growers have been
neglecting their prune orchards;
or many of them have. There
should be a campaign, persist
ently pushed, for more prunes
and better prunes, and for more
and better prune packs; dried,
dehydrated, canned in tin and
glass, and saved for and sent to
market in cold packs. .
And Oregon walnuts, filberts
and prunes should be advertised

Timmy wriggled and got up,
his broad head tilted, his shag

dog, lonely and afraid, his eyes
tried to tell his friend.

There wasn't a sound any
where. Yes, Timmy was making
for Jane's room. David with
trembling fingers, clicked on the
light and gazed in, his red hair
wet over his brow.
He wasnt dreaming. The little
pink and white room had been
savagely torn up; bed sheets
trailing, clothes ripped from
their place in the closet; a box
of powder upset on the dresser,
and a perfume bottle broken on
the floor. The faint fragrance
carried through the havoc. Cher
ished little ornaments were scat
tered on the rose rug.
But Timmy was sniffing in a
corner. He crept out, his hair
bristling along his back. He
growled.
David went slowly toward that
corner, his hands clenched.
Flung beside the window lay a
big dog he had never seen be

horribly. Between his paws lay a

had ever known had given him.

; David looked down at Timmy.
"Wheres Jane, Timmy? Jane
Where's Jane?" He opened the
kitchen door. ; . '.
Timmy streaked.. outside,
dashed madly to the road and
back, barking loudly.
"Sorry, old boy, you make, too ,
much noise." David shut him in
the house again.
Then he walked, without
sound, toward Kurt Helm'i
shack. He went around the side
to window where the curtains
were half drawn; peered in.
Sweitzer was there.
Fan Rubley sat tearlessly star
ing down at the East river. She
was too dazed to think things
out for herself. After last night,
she didn't care where she went
or what anybody did to her. If
Attorney Garrison . had saved
her, for the time at least, from
being held at a material wit
ness to Mat's death, well, she
must do as he said.
'', She supposed, for this Mon
day anyway, she was virtually
a prisoner- in the guest room of
his apartment at Rio House.
They hadn't trusted her to go
back to her own j?lace.
Someone knocked. Theyv
wouldn't leave her alone. Selin
da resolutely came in, dragging
Doremus by the hand. Selinda's
dark eyes flashed, and her sof
-brown face was brightened by
a generous application of Fan's
lip rouge. ,
"Doremus never aimed to
make you grieve, Miz Rubley,"
she said in her husky tones. "He
was mighty fond of Mis tub.
Br'nu. But I tol' him if he evah
sez you did what he fuhst say
you did, I wont marry him. And
he done re-considah. You nevah
did it Why, Mistuh Br'nu wuz
yo man. .
"Please " Fan rose, holding
to the back of her chair. She
looked very tall in black.
"You ask Miz Rubley to pah
don you," Selinda commanded.
Doremus sidled away from
Fan. "Ih'm sorry. Mix Rubley ,"
he mumbled. "When Ah saw
poah Mistuh Br'nu layin daid,
Ah went kinda wild."
"It's all right, Doremus," Fan
said wearily. "Mr. Garrison is
taking care of me." The tears
came at last, misting her blue .
eyes.
