GAME COMMISSION EMPLOYES
Decision of the state game commission to choose new em
ployes on the basis of competitive examinations, already made
known in the news, should meet with general approval as one
of the most intelligently constructive policies adopted since
Oregon began the development and conservation of its wild
life assets. First examination under the new policy will be
held in Portland on March 1.
While this will be the first examination of the kind to be
held in Oregon, it is not inconceivable that earlier game com
missions would have endeavored to do much the same sort of
thing had Oregon made provision for the scientific training
01 men ior mis sort 01 work. But, up to a relatively short time
ago, only a few of the courses, completion of which will now be
required of applicants, were available in the colleges of this
state. It was necessary, therefore, that the commission or its
executives pick lively young men and train them in the work.
Recently, however, graduates who had maiored in fisheries
and game management work as well as in rantre management.
forestry, agriculture and biology became available. Some of
these were employed by the commission. With their back
ground of special study and training, they developed rapidly
as they gained actual experience and the present commission
came to the conclusion that full advantage should be taken of
the opportunity for drawing on this new source of personnel
supply. The conclusion was also reached that the commission
should obtain the services of the best of the specially trained
men available and that, to this end, competitive examinations
should be held.
When these examinations are held, only those who have
completed the four-year course affording this training and
who have established residence in Oregon will be eligible.
Experience will be considered. A written test covering fish
and game management will be given, and each applicant who
rates satisfactorily will be granted a personal interview.
Adoption of this new schedule of requirements for employ
ment is not to be taken as affecting men already on the payroll,
it is explained by Bend's commissioner, Kenneth Moody.
Those now employed, as he points out, are also trained men,
but the trained men of the future will have learned the easier
and quicker way.
The advantages to the state made possible through the
decision of the present commission are, however, obvious. It
will be hoped that its action will establish a precedent which
will.be followed by other commissions in later years.
The man" who reads Our editorials called in last night to
question the arithmetic in the next to the last paragraph of a
discussion on the use of the gasoline tax. Of course the writer
was;not at fault, so it must have been the typesetter or the
proof reader. The net result, however, was that the figures
giving comparative cost of car operation on pavements, gravel
and earth road just didn't jibe. As it should have appeared
the difference between per mile operation cost on pavement
and on earth road is 1.2 cents per mile.
The correction has already been given orally to the man
who-reads our editorials. It is printed here for the sake of the
record.
Believing, as we do, that Bonneville's vn'ue and importance
in the northwest is in direct proportion to the number of new
industries it attracts we are glad of the news that an iron mill
has .been signed up by Administrator Raver. This is indus
trial user number two. Congratulations to the Bonneville
administration and to the city of Vancouver where the new
plant, like that of the Aluminum company, is to be built.

Havers recent report to congress
whi& mentions an imminent "ser
ious shortage of power in the north
west,' and in which are included
varidiis estimates of demand running
into -the hundreds of thousands of
kilowatts, it may be that some resi
dents of this region may be a bit con
futed about the actual present sit
uation with respect to Bonneville.
According to the report, existing
contract call for delivery of 51, Mi
kilowatts of power. Of this item more
will be said presently. It H announc
ed that an additional CS.COfl kilowatt
load from municipal, rural electrifi
cation and private enterprises may
Lc counted upon when Bonneville
has facilities for delivery. On top of
that,' negotiations are in progress
witn private concern. and individ

tional load of approximately 100,100
kilowatts: and sponsors of public
emmets nave applied lor or signed
contracts for around 420.000 kilo
atts but none of these is ready to
take, power in the near future. Then
thera are additional applications and
inquiries for approximately 180.000
kilowatts.
If all these figures represented ac
tual, immediate clamor for Bonnc
vill powcr these would indeed be a
"serious thortagc." As a matter of
fact all of the items beyond the lir'.t

Bonneville's present capacity is

CHAPTER 1
Ann Brown had the fidgets.
To tell the truth, she was reaching
the end of her own particular string
and whether or not she would be
able to hold on to the frayed ;nd
was a debatable question. It had been
almost a year, 328 days, to be exact,
since she had found her job it
couldn't be any stretch of imagina
tion be called a position in Mrs.
Pringle's Make-Over Hat Shop. She
had been desperately alone then.
She was desperately alone now.
She heated creamed dried beef,
frugally held over from the previous
evening's dinner, on a gas plate in a
corner of her uncomfortable little
room. She made a slice of toast. She
ladled four stewed figs into a dish
and placed two cookies on a plate.
To give her morale a lift, she took
two precious silver spoons -from a
bureau drawer, reacting delightedly,
as always, to their satiny luster.
She tried to eat, really tried. It
was useless. Getting water from the
bathroom on the floor below, she
washed the dishes. She wrapped the
spoons in tissue and put them away.
Then she tried all the usual things,
an hour of constructive reading, a
magazine atory. the triumphant,
happy ending adding to her depres
sion. She played three games of
solitaire.
It was 8:30. Suffocating loneliness
crowded in on her. The loneliness
had become so real a thing that it
seemed to have form and substance,
terrifying form and substance.
Ann glanced at the evening paper,
her eyes skipping over war news,
avoiding the most recent murder.
Turning to the society page, she
looked at the pictures of brides and
debutantes and out-of-town visitors.
Suddenly her eyes widened.
'There," she said alound. "that's
the way I'll make my new dress."
She studied the picture of a gill who
had been caught by a candid camera
as she stepped from a smart road
ster. "That's just the way I'll make
it. Ann cut out the picture and put
it in her purse. It was 8:45. '
Ann undressed. Taking her bath
towel, praying for hot water, just
a little hot water, she went to the
ancient bathroom.
Ann had the only room on the
third floor of what had once been
a fine old home. Jt was on Chicago's
West Side and built before the city's
elite decided upon the vicinity of
Sheridan Drive as the correct ad
dress. Ann's miserable room had
once quartered a servant.
a a
It was a few minutes past 0 when
she turned down the nhabby worn
coverings of her thin bed. Her
beauty-loving fingers resented the
feel of the cotton blanket and coarse
sheet. She switched off her light,
opened the window. The deep, broad
casement window was the room's
sole redeeming feature. Ann paused
beside it, as soft spring air crept up
from the alley below.
She gazed at a lighted window
across the way. There he was, the
big, dark young man. He sat in a
wooden rocking chair, his cheek rest
ing on a clenched fist, reading stead
ily. Ann knew that she should not
stand in her window and gare at the
young man. it wasn't polite. Just the
same, she had done it often. Not that
she was romantically interested In
him Ann was riot romantically in
clined. She had her own ideas con
cerning life. It was a luxury and
luxuries were not for her.
She went to bed lying tensely
quiet. Dreading sleep, she lay with
her eyes open. The dream might
come if she slept and the dream wa
a shattering tiling. She was always
fighting her way through a crowd on
a downtown street, part of the crowd
but invisible. In the dream she was
jostled this way and that, battered
until she finally fell to the side
walk, begging and pleading. Feet
trampled her and she cried out
No one heeded her cries, the feet
trampled and kicked and scuffed
until she awoke, sobbuig her pro
tests. Ana did not know tliat a psy
chiatrist would have credited her
dream u a lonely fixation; she only
knew that its recurrence was wreck
ing her nervous system.
She lay very still, her slim little
body traight under the blanket She
was getting too thin. Eating alone,
day in day out, did not make for ap
petite. Ann's hands clenched. It wasn't
reasonable that girl like herself, 20

days utterly alone.
Pretty enough? That was putting
it much too mildly. Ann had shining
bronze hair, its golden high light',
and lovely wave had been lavishly
granted by nature. Her eyes were
dark gray, wide and childish, her
red mouth curved deliriously.
Sometimes Ann wondered how
long she would continue to walk
alone, how soon, for sheer want of
companionship, she would respond
to the masculine advances which
constantly came her way.
She tried to think of pleasant
things. Her job only $15 a week
but just $15 better than nothing

Ann tried to laugh. It was a shaken

she confessed.
"Oh, I say that's a shame. All

"Yes all right now." She was cry

because of the rich sympathy in the
young man's voice. It was as if his
voice lifted her out of the way of
the trampling feet.
"Well good night."
'"Good night and and thank you."
'Ann was restless and wide awake.
Pulling down the blind, she switched
on the light which dangled from the
ceiling. She made a cup of cocoa and
drank it slowly. Still in no mood for

turning to the personal column. Ann
