BEAN When an official is doing a satisfactory job it is a matter of sound voter practice to keep him on the job. An exception to this would be in the rather rare case that another could be found who, while lacking equal filled, might reasonably be expected to do even better. When an official is doing a question as to the wisdom of retaining his services. . Such a one is Earl Snell, republican candidate for re-election as secretary of state for Oregon. Mr. Snell has set new standards of efficiency and economy in his office. He is able, energetic and progressive. Not the least of the reasons why he should be continued for a second term is in order that the splendid traffic safety campaign which he is conducting, al ready resulting in a marked decrease in the highway death rate in this state, may be continued with unabated vigor. Another incumbent who should continue as incumbent is Rex Putnam, democratic candidate for superintendent of pub lic instruction. Mr. Putnam is well and favorably known in Central Oregon for his work some years ago as head of the Redmond school system. In various other communities in Oregon he had held principalships and superintendencies before being promoted to his present position. He is putting into effect his slogan of "Good schools for better citizens." Another is Henry J. Bean, candidate for the non-partisan office of judge of the supreme court, position No. 2. On the supreme court Mr. Bean is now serving his second term as supreme justice, and has had 27 years of experience as a mem ber of Oregon's highest tribunal. Of Justice Bean his oppo nent speaks in the highest terms, referring only to age as an argument for change. This argument will not be too seriously considered when it is recalled that one of the nation's greatest and niost able supreme court justices was still conceded that fating after he had passed the age of 90. COMMISSION ASKS ADVICE When election day rolls around Bend will have the oppor tunity of casting another of those straw votes. Ordinarily a straw, or advisory vote has very little significance, for what humanity usually does after receiving advice for which he has asked is to ignore it. In this case, however, Bend's govern mental body, the city commission, has stated that the advice set forth in the vote will be accepted as a mandate. The straw vote will be on the duck-dog ordinance. It is well that it is being made possible and it is well, also, that the city commission will accept the people's vote as n, mandate. The question came up in the late spring, while the ordinance requiring the leashing of dogs through the waterfowl mating season was still irking many a household pet. Dogs which were not irked had their owners' disregard for the law to thank for their freedom. It was while all this was going on that the commission was petitioned to repeal the ordinance. Petitioners were placated with the assurance that it would be better to repeal by ballot. But presently summer was here, the season for application of the ordinance was gone. Dogs were legally on the loose once more. Their owners forgot all about it and, apparently, so did the city commission. By the time they remembered, it was too late to "put the ordinance on the ballot as a referendum measure. Hence the straw vote, the announcement of which indi cates that the commission does want the people to speak their piece on this subject and which carries with it the statement that the commission will repeal or continue the ordinance as the vote on November 8 may request. When this is done there need be no recurrence of the dog vs. duck question next spring. : OREGON EDITORIALS PRUNUS SUBCORDATA (Klamath Falls Evening Herald) The above title is the scientific name for the wild plums that have won so much interest this fall in that part of Southern Oregon which is cast of the mountains. The species is commonly called the Shasta plum, according to Henry Hartman, horti culturist of the Oregon experiment station, who has written an interest ing letter on the subject in answer to an inquiry from Klamath Falls. This plum constitutes a fairly dis tinct botanical group, according to Mr. Hartman. Its native habitat is well defined and its fruit and tree characteristics are different from those of other American plum species. The expert tells us that ef forts, have been made to divide the group into several sub-species, but there is question as to the authentic ity of the groups named. Klamath wild plum enthusiasts have, . remarked frequently on the difference in the fruit found on dif ferent trees and in various localities Mr. Hiirtman says that in fact prac tically every tree or shrub within the species varies sufficiently so that it could be rated as a distinct horticul tural variety. One notable group dis tinguished from the average run is the aKclloggii, which has a grayish bark end is found only in the imme diate vicinity of Mt. Shasta. EiiYly settlers In California valued the .wild plums highly, and some effort was made to cultivate them. However, they lost pooularity after introduction of the better varieties of European and Japanese plums. Bur bank successfully crossed the bhuMi plum with other American specir-s. Mr. Hartman bays that the famed horticulturist produced fruits nf beautiful color In this manner, but apparently he did not regard them highly as ho made no attempt to in troduce them. These are facta about our wild plums that arc interesting bul little known. Ihc fruit at this lime sue ins to be oniovinu a revival in DouuLar- ity. and those who have partaken of wild plum jelly or pjcwiives along BULLETIN OREGON PRESS The Bend HulMI. (dallr) eat.

Weed Control Work in County Is Intensified Weed control work in Deschutes county has been intensified since announcement was made by G. Y. Hagglund, county agent, of a cooper ative agreement between the state and Deschutes county whereby the .state department of agriculture will furnish one-third of the sodium chlorate used on private land in the control of Russian knapweed, white top, Canada thistle, wild morning glory and quack grass. Hagglund has notified all people known to have weed problems, sug gesting that they take advantage of this unusual a-.i-irw.rtiinilir tn .klnin help from the state in the control I of these serious weeds. Sodium chlorate is a chemical of about: the consistency of salt and Hagiilund recommends that it be broadcast dry in the fall at a rate of about five pounds per square rod. Experience in the. past has shown that this treatment gives excellent results. Willi the lower cost becaiifc of state cooperation it is expected that many mure weeds will be treat ed this fall. On state and county owned lands one-half of the materials will be fur nished from the same source. "VIOLATOR" CORRECTS POLICE Dallas, Tex. 'Ill Police for years have been arrest inn motorists for driving their automobiles throuxh filling station driveways.

The taxi driver', is knifed at the old factory building where Tait is called and Tait won ders about the perfume there, the same scent as used by the strange, exotic blond. CHAPTER XVH At the first stair landing. Tait paused. The light, he discovered, came from a candle set on the floor in its own wax. He reached down and touched the wax in which it had been stuck. It was still warm and soft! Tait stood up quickly, his back against the wall. The landing was bare. There were no openings. It simply doubled back to reach another series of stairs to the next floor. The stair well was typical of those built into the lactones of two decades ago when modern health and fire protec tion weren t considered. Cautiously, Tait peered up to that second landing. For a moment his heart wavered. It all seemed too much of an invitation to death and yet yet he could be very close to the murderer of Ludden Dombev and the solution for Myrna's problems. Sud denly he snatched up. the candle, snuffing it out as he did so. In one swut movement he leaped for the second series of stairs, holding an ann anead of him in the darkness. Every moment he expected to feel in his flesh the cold steel of a blade either thrown or driven. Then, unmistakably, he heard a sound above him. It was the opening of an ancient vindow. Tait yelled at the top of his voice. "Stop stop or I'll shoot!" He followed the f ound up stairs and into a long deserted room with narrow windows at one end. One of the windows was open and Tait rushed for it. But beyond he could see nothing but black roofs. It was only three or four feet down to the adjouuna- roof, but he knew that he was stopped. To go out there would be inviting death in earnest. Keeping out of line of the windows, hc relighted the candle. The room was absolutely deserted. A few ma chine bases were all the evidence that it had once held life, and certainly no one had been making a home of it. a e In the dim light of the candle Tail noticed something odd. I lis own foot prints were clearly visible on the dust-covered floor. But the path of the would-be murderer was of a dif ferent nature. It had been swept ils he went, as is with a coat or scarf! Tait thought bitterly that the factory roofs were gravel on tar. There'd be no footprint there. Grimly disappointed, hc retraced his steps to the street. The astonished stare of the taxi driver sought him from the depths of the cab. "I never thought you d be down here again on your feet, mister!" He was holding his shoulder now painfully. "Did you sec anything of that so-and-so who sliced me'" Tait shook his head. "No. And I'm sorry to have, got you into this mess, old man. I'll make it right with you and now we'll gel some attention for that shoulder." "You'll have to drive. And say, if I gotta stay in the hospital all night you'll have to explain It to my wife. She's funny that way." Taid slid into the driver's seal. "I'll keep you out of the doghouse, pal." a a a .

But by golly, as long as you did it, I wish you'd got a look at the bird who wanted to cut into you." Feeley and Tait were on the way to the hospital where the taxi driver had been left in good care. "It's that perfume that gets me." Tait said. "Yeah. Doesn't seem like a spot a woman would Dick to make an am- bush, for guy. But there may have been tow people around, xou say you smelled it before. You sure you'd recognize the dame if you saw her again?" "I'll say I would! She was a honey." "Of course." said Feeley with ill disguised feeling, "some men wear perfume. The guy we're after may be one of those. Do you figure this fel low is the same guy who ventilated Ludden Dombcy?" "Maybe. Or it might be somebody who just doesn't like the idea of my monkeying around." . "As for instance?" "Harris Rogers." Feeley nodded. "There's' that. He promised you that you'd hear from him, and he has a reason to be plenty sore. I'll have Mike Dunphy see if hc can establish any movements for Rogers." "Also, it could be your screwy mu sician. He might think that I'm out to gyp him, too. "We'll go down to that factory building tomorrow and have a look at it in the daytime." Feeley rolled the ear up before the wide step of the General Hospital "Do you think this taxi driver'll help us any?" "1 doubt it. I was sitting right in the car and it happened too. fast for me. He didn't seem to know what hit him but it's worth a try. Maybe he's collected his wits by now." The pair were ushered to the driver's room by a nurse. At sight of Tait the man burst out, "Say, did you telephone my wife like I told you?" Tait laughed. "I certainly did. And she believed me, too." "I wish she's believe me once in a while," sighed the injured man. "This is Detective Feelcly. He wants to ask you uimc questions j about what happened. That is, if you : feel all right now." "I'm okay. The doc' fixed mo up in good snape. But 1 don t remember nothing except the flash of that knife and the way it felt when it hit me." "Try hard," Feeley urged. "Didn't you sec the arm?

SELLS MORE TO PHILIPPINES (iuin of II lVr Cent Made in One Year Washington ill'1 Reflecting the strong financial position of the Philippines in 1937. the United States sold goods valued at $HJ (KB.OOO to the blumls Inst year, it preliminary an nual report of the commercial de partment reveals. This wa a gain of 41 per cent over tho previous year and HO per cent over 1S33, the recent low level in United States-Philippines trade. The value of United blutes exports to tho Islands lust year was the third highest in the history of trade be tween the two countries. In 19-t), when commodity nrtces were abnormally high, the value of exports was $tl9.8.K).l00. During the 111:3 boom tho value was $M,W0,000, only slightly more than lost year's figure, Japanese Imports Down Among the notable features of the report was Ihc gain In consumption of Ainoricun -manufactures and a slump In the importation of Japanese cotton products. As a result of the Siiw-Jiipanese war, imports of Jap anese piece aixxts fell short of the Juotu provided In the American apanese. textile agreement. Toward the close of the war. the department reported. Amerlrmn ex porters were receiving orders fur piece goods that they had not shipped to ttte islands for years. The Philippines imported American cotton goods, excepting hoaicry, val ued at $10,800,000 In HH7. compared with $0,428,000 in 1930. Other fac tors fuvoring United States importa tions was the higher purchasiiu power in the Philippines and the smaller shipments of piece goods from China and Hong Kuitg. Tlie Philippines rcgulucd its posi tion last year as the principal outlet for cotton piece goods from Ihc United Stales, i u r p a s s I n g Cuba, which held first pluce from IXH to 1938. The totul value of all United States cotton manufactures to the Philippines was $10,903,000, an In crease of 08 per cent over 193. Mining Roam Reflected Tho intense activity In the Philip pine mining Industry resulted in an increase of more than 100 per cent in shipments of American mining and quarrying machinery. The depart ment also is establishing new records year after year and that the produc tion of iron and chrome ores ulso is expanding. American exporters supply ubout 90 per cent of the machinery used, and shipments in 1937 were valued at $l.S35,000. compared with $710,000 in 1938 and $111,000 in 1929. The wide spread use of American equipment was attributed In the fact lhat engin eers in tho Philippines are familiar with machinery manufactured in this country.
