SNELL. PUTNAM. 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.

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

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

this unusual

help from the state in the control I
of these serious weeds.
Sodium chlorate is a chemical of

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

that many mure weeds will be treat

On state and county owned lands

der. Yesterday! 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 double-barreled idiot to go up
those stairs. 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."

(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.
Exports of American construction
and conveying machinery increased
to $887.000 in 1937, a gain nf $892,000
