While a news release early in the month stated unqualifiedly that the Wash ington districts would support such a plan, the unreliability of the report was clearly shown at the meeting at Goldendale this week of directors of districts of the two states. The meeting was, in fact, of the northern PL a corporation to deal through were present on invitation. The same clash of opinion which developed at a called meeting at The Dalles last month con tinued. Also, the issue was more closely drawn and partisans were more partisan. Now none of these directors was against the theory of people's utility district operation. But those of the Washing ton corporation were, in the main, in favor of the districts running their own businesses. The idea, it was apparent, was beginning to be entertained in Oregon as well. Ostensibly the program for purchase negotiations by the Bonneville administrator originated with the districts." spe cifically with the Northern Wasco county PUD. Actually there can be little doubt that the movement intended to bring all the districts in the P. P. & L. area into line as endorsers of the program was inspired by the Bonneville administration. It ties in too closely with the Columbia Valley authority bill which, anion)! other things, would place $200,000,000 at the disposal of the administrator for acquisition of plant and line facilities, to be otherwise. I nder the provisions of the bill, the purchaser of company facilities would be the administrator (for the federal govern ment) of the combined Bonneville and Grand Coulee projects. Under the plan which would delegate district negotiating au thority to him. he (for the federal government) would become the virtual administrator of the districts as well. To all in tents and purposes the districts would become a part of the Columbia Valley authority. A Hood River director expressed it at the Goldendale meet ing w hen he said, "It looks to me as if the show is being run from Washington." He disliked this. He was one who contended that a district should retain its rights to buy power where it choses, from whom it choses. and to fix rates according to its own tmst judgment. It was manifest to him, as it should be to most of us, that acceptance of federal control would waive these rights, that home rule, or the possibility of it would as well be for gotten. The matter of home rule or the abandoning of it is, we be lieve, one of the most important things to come out of the Goldendale meeting. We believe, too, that its importance will be increasingly recognized as more study is given to utility questions. THE NEW ENGLAND HURRICANE A former Bend resident. Jack F. Campbell, now head of the New England forest emergency project, reminds us that officials in charge of salvage operations in the region devas tated by a hurricane on September 21. 1938. are gradually "seeing light." Most of the timber salvage work will be com pleted this coming summer. Not only are emergency project officials making fine head way in clearing up the wreckage from the whirling, circular storm that spread death and desolation across the New Eng land states, but after slightly more than two years it has been possible to make a final inventory of damage. Some of the most valuable contributions to the "inquest" were made by weathermen. The whirling storm of September 21. 1938, rushed north ward toward Long Island and New England with the speed of an express train. The wind drove the sea water with such force that waves beating against beaches rose 10 to 17 feet above the expected level. Demolition was general along the exposed coast. Hundreds of persons, many of whom crowded to the sea shore to watch the fury of the storm, were engulfed and drowned. Sea salt killed vegetation 20 miles inland. The gale lashed inland points with great furv, roaring over the countryside in devastating gusts. Some 275.000,000 trees were toppled over. Thousands of buildings were destroyed Twenty-six thousand automobiles were smashed. Even high ways parallel to the terrific wind were "blown over." More than two and a half billion board feet of timber was thrown down. Some 600 lives were lost. The total property damage was about 500.000,000. " And now undoubtedly Jack Campbell and other officials in charges of salvage and restoration work are asking: "Will this happen again?" The. answer is that similar storms will undoubtedly occur again, but the loss of life and property V2.?rlK fiflould not be as freat- Tvvite before, in 1815 and 18Jj, similar storms swept over the New England states. In tact, in the past two and a half centuries, at least 10 such storms have occurred. Already people of the exposed states are preparing for the next storm a storm that may occur in a few years or may not develop for a century. The weather bureau is closely watching storm developments, aided bv observers on vessels at sea. Also, in the restoration of buildings and of forests hurricane hazards are being taken into account. In these preparations for the next storm, we are glad to Know that a former Bend man is playing an important part. Just aswe thought, it's the first day of winter and it feels like spring. Lntirely by contrast it reminds us of one week of autumn this month which felt and acted like winter Complete AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE SPECIALIZED BRAKE SERVICE MOTOR REBUILDING CRANKSHAFT AND BRAKE DRUM GRINDING ELECTRIC AND ACETYLENE WELDING Bent Equipped Shop In Central Oregon All Work Guaranteed Bennett's Garage Use Bulletin Want Ads for Best Results! 8.1 M.wtha t.s On Monk 1 PAYAHI.K IN AHVANCK of nddraaa, ar af taUura to raraira tha papar that Dr. 1'aul Raver should be Us which had already formed a private negotiator.

Hies the plane himself. Lona kicks Andre's Indian drum out of the plane. Unobserved, Ronnie seizes a para chute, fastens its straps, dives from the plane. OFFICER STARK EXPLAINS CHAPTER XX "Her parachute's open, she's safe!' Wesley shouted frantically at the two officers in the autogiro. "T thank God!" "Use your rifle!" the pilot yell ed. "Aim at the front of the cabin, the controls!" But Officer Starr was already aiming, and he began firing with meticulous care. Crack! Crack! They just had to stop that mono plane now before il could outdis tance the government ship! "He's hit!" the pilot yelled. "He's got to land!" There was no open field, no cleared spot. Ohviou&ly Girardeau was striving desperately. He did guide the crippled monoplane over huge boulders then all at once it struck the earth, bounced twice and finally halted tail up against thick yucca growths. The autogiro was settling right near it. Girardeau jumped from his plane and started running. The moment the autogiro touched earth Wesley York leaped out in pursuit, carrying Officer Starr's gun. "HALT!" Wesley yelled, a a a Girardeau shot back twice, ran on. The chase continued half a mile, each man dodging cacti, greascwood, rocks. All at once Wesley saw they had been run ning at an angle toward the spot where Ronnie landed, saw her un strapping her chute to be free. She saw them then and began shouting. Girardeau stopped abruptly be hind a rock and shot back again and again, and Wcs in turn drop ped prone to resume shooting. He saw Girardeau's' head go out of sight, and so he quickly sprang up and ran again. When Girar deaus' head next showed, only a few feet separated them. He himself couldn't have said what slrange fury drove him, but Wes was on the feeling man with a peculiar exultation. Both guns had been emptied. Wes literally dived at Girardeau in the last few feet to make a flying tackle such as any man who has played foot ball knows. They fought there furiously. Ronnie came running toward them fast. Girardeau suddenly trained his feet but Wesley straightened up ! wurd, swinging under Girardeau's I guard. Splack! The man s head I snapped back; he fell limp. In GO j seconds more Wesley had Glrar 1 deau's hands tied with his own neck lie. "Wesley!" Ronnie Bailey was shouting nearby now. "Oh-h Wes!" a a a The officers had found Lona Montoya daud but not critically hurt, even though In the landing she had fared worse than Girar deau. Mr. Starr gave first aid. The Border Patrol pilot took to the air and when he saw that Girar- ideau was safely captured-with Something Else Landing h. flew hack a few miles. land- for a momt.nt and promptly to?k " aKain ,or his return. If u :i niarm run hnui hu r It was marvelous how he could set the autogiro down and Ml it irom small places. When he came to the crasned monoplane this time all the others hau gathered there waiting, and he left the gow ernment ship' carrying- surpris ingly Giraraeau's Indian drum. bull panting, Wes York stepped forwaru. He tore off the pauumg around the drum, then witn poc ket knife cut the rawhide head and took out the parcel concealed within it. "You had the right bunch. Dr. York," Officer Star said, calmly. "That's the bomb sight." a a a The others Ronnie especially just looked on. enthralled. Luna and Girardeau had been handcuf fed now. "The U. S. Secret Service owes you a new hat. Dr. York," Starr went on. "You've lost yours. And there may be some points you and Miss Ronica want cleared up, eh?" "Yes-yes!" Ronnie could barely mutter it, nodding. "Well." the officer looked with obvious respect at Ronlne and Wesley both, "to tell you the truth, Girardeau isn't French, and the Montoya girl isn't Mexican. Our federal undercover force has been checking close for weeks, the Mexican government co-operating. He's German; she's an Asia tic mixup, probably part Japanese at least. And she was playing him for a sucker all along ha? She and some Jap agents have a secret cache in Rainbow Canyon, which radio and everything." "Oh -h-!" murmured Ronnie, wide-eyed. "So that's" "Kinally," the officer went on. "She made Girardeau take the actual risk of stealing the bomb sight, but she would have taken it from him." Wesley turned toward Lona herself. "Did you havo it when we were out riding horseback? You hid It then!" Surly for a moment, Lona final ly nodded and spoke slowly, "Ex cept for the autogiro I would have taken It to my own countrymen then, on the disert. Have they not been near the bombing field all the while waiting to observe the army tests? Yanh!" "Certainly," Mr. Starr, agreed. "We kept a secret watch on that from the day Miss itonica and I caught the five Japs. Watched you, too." "Later to keep Andre from be ing suspicious I brought the bomb sight back.

DECK M HER 21. In China take It from under his wry nose!" Lona glared now at Girardeau In obvious contempt. "Engaged to thecs Ronica, and make the love with me!" Ronnie gasped. "No! I have never been engaged! Never! Why Starr resumed talking. "We know a lot more than we told any body. But Dr. York, you sure saved us! We could get nothing clinched either way. I see now this Lona was working her treachery In two directions. And they would have gotten out of the country with this bomb sight to day as sure as sin! An Indian drum ha! And Bailey's own daughter!" "I feel utterly flat." murmured Ronien. "Wes, however did you know? You came when I needed you most!" Inspector Star grinned. "You two kids talk that out while me and the pilot take the prisoners in. He'll come right back for you. Ship won't hold all six of us." a a They watched the autogiro soar off like the weird mechanical bird it was, and when Wesley turned to Ronnie again he saw that she was still trembling and had slumped a bit as if tired. He put a comforting arm around her. "Ronnie." said he, ever so gent ly, "It's all over now, except that I simply must-I've got to uh. you" He swallowed. "Ronnie, this Lona was a type who tried to get everything In life through her feminine appeal. And this Gir ardeau had money and a smooth way of -" "Must we talk about them, Wes?" "No. No Indeed, Ronnie! It wasn't what I -1-you - Ronnie, could you ever be engaged to a -a mere college professor? Ever? Ronnie straightened up a bit and sighed elaborately. Then she took his face in her two hands, her own face very close, and shook his fine head a lit tie. "Wesley York, If you don't kiss me! I've been throwing myself at you for weeks, I love you so! And I know you love me. Or - do you?" Dr. Wood row Wesley York, Ph.D., could find no more words. But sometimes even a scholarly young man doesn't need them. (THE END!

The 1!0 census said there were aliout six unci a quarter million aliens ill the country a decade ago. IVducting the number that had become naturalized and adjusting the figures to account for deaths and the excess of emigrants over immigrants, statisticians floured that :i,wJ,imo uas about the right total for l!MO. It is obvious now. however, that that figure will be exceeded. Best K'licis Is that fully i.iio.inni win nave registered by the time the registration period Apiuirently what has hannt'iicd Is that there were many more il legal entries than anyone had lie ured on. Surprising thing to the immigration and naturalisation service men Is that the aliens who are here Illegally are omiing for ward so eagerly to register. Many of them, as a matter of fact, have said thiit they were glad to regis ter and end the suss-nse and fear ing each day that an Immlgraiion Inspector would catch up with them. All of this will ultimately elve Attorney General Jackson a head ache. The law elves him auihur. Ity to pass on each individual case and say w hether an illegal entrant may be allowed to remain. Before he gets throuKh he will have thou sands and thousands of cases to handle. a a a DEFENSE BOOM HELPS ( OTTO.N The defense Ixxjm Is giving the cotton Industry a much necdi-d shut in the arm. although a still bigger one is badly needed. It looks now. say agriculture department experts, as if total domestic consumption of cotton for the present markctim; vear will run a little belter than 8.500.. 0OO bales tierhaiM as hivh as 9.00G.IXJ0. This would be from one and one-half to two million above the average consumption over the last five years. mat Uoesn t make un for the loss of exports due to Ihe war. Total exports for Ihe year will be close to 1.500.000 bales, which is some 3,M,nnn under the five-year average. With a current crop of 12,500.000 bales anticipated, slocks on hand In the U. S. are likely to exceed the all time high of 13,000, (XX) bales set in 1939. The cotton problem is still there. in other words. Increase In home consumption provides the only ray of light. Town Police Chief Urjres Court for Bicycle Traffic LcKoy, N.

"It is hard to fine the boys for law infractions," Police Cantaln Fred J. Rider (old the local board. "If we fine them the money has to be paid by their parents and does not make Ihe desired impression on the children.
