BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
TODAY'S CROSS WQD PUZZLE
any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
uhtther it be of God, of whether I snenk of myself. John
7: 17.
A Blossoming Easter
"What is so rare as a day in June?"
An Easter Sunday when it falls on blossom day in the
Willamette valley, under the blue and gold of a sunny April
sky or draped in a bridal veil of Oregon mist, with the soft
green witchery of spring transforming the hills into fairy
land, "unlocking the flowers to paint the laughing soil" to
the lilting melodies of birds, amidst a fragrant mass of bloom
ladened trees, heralding the fruition of the coming harvest.
From early dawn, when "jocund day stands tiptoe on the
misty mountain top" till night's curtained shadows fall and
"the moon takes up the wondrous tale and nightly to the
li '-ning earth, repeats the story of her birth" midst a flood
of softened silver, the "holy spirit of spring is working
silently," magically performing the annual miracle of the
renewal of life.
Such an Easter is a very real symbol of a new and quick
ened existence, of the resurrection and the life eternal. Is it
any wonder that our modernized spring festival has been a
sacred celebration since humanity evolved from the darkness
of doubt the hope of a future? Joy over the awakening bf
nature from the death of winter became rejoicing at the
rising of the Sun of Righteousness, at the resurrection of
Christ, from the grave.
Blooming Salem, this Easter Sunday, welcomes the world
to view, amidst a bewildering succession of picturesque land
scapes, the varied panoramas of orchards, extending o'er
hill and valley, mile upon mile, which
"A wondrous snow of starry blossomsbear
And spread rich odors through the springtime air."
Our Opportunity
Promotion of the proposed linen mill offers Salem a chance
to measure up to her opportunities and develop an industry
that furnishes a profitable crop and home market for farmers
and a payroll for the city. Failure to finance the plant will
indicate that the community is lacking in the public spirit
that creates cities. .......
The development feature must overshadow either the
investment or speculative features, for establishment of an
industry such as proposed, is essential in upbuilding stale
and city. Every possible safeguard, including experienced
management and an organized selling 'force, has been
provided to insure the safety of the investment, make it a
profitable one, and eliminate the speculative features common
to new enterprises, but even if these were lacking, it would
be worthwhile from a development standpoint.
The local men back of the enterprise are hard-headed
business men who have made a success of their own enter
prises, and as directors will see that investors interests are
taken care of. The proposers of the project are successful
linen manufacturers who have built up a million dollar enter
prise from comparitivoly small beginnings.
The linen mill will mean far more to Orogm and S:ilem
than the paper mill has or can mean and should be as profit
able an investment, so if you are really interested in the
prosperity of valley and city, you will do your part to
establish it by subscribing for stock.
For a Free Ferry
Petitions are again in circulation requesting the county
courts of Marion and Yamhill counties to cooi)erate in estab
lishing a free ferry across the Willamette at Wheatland, to
replace the privately operated toll ferry.
Sooner or later a bridge will have to be built to span the
river somewhere between Salem and Newberg, for conven
ience of residents of both counties who now have to go many
miles out of their way or else pay a toll to cross the stream
In the meantime, the counties should maintain a ferry to
.1. 1 . ... .....
aiu in me aeveiopment oi mis iertue district.
A ferry is jointly operated by Marion and Polk counties at
Independence, and certainly the residents of the Wheatland
Dayton section are entitled to the same consideration as those
of the Independence country.

To Uiu iMlitoi: As there li.ts
been quito a lot of talk. In regard
to the fish ladilcrs In Halom 1
would like to throw a little light
on the subject. 1 was ordered anil
hounded by the deputy game war
dens to build a fish ladder which
I did and maintained for two
years. The lee IrsI winter dam
aged It and It- la not now In good
conditions. The game warileu Is
now ordering another fish ladder
installed so here le where the
hitch comes In.
The state penitentiary main
tains a small diversion dam at the
Headwaters of their race or power
ditch. Here all the water from
the natural channel of Mill creek
Iff sent througli their ditch during
the spring and summer when the
fish are running. The result l
the natural channel of Mill crock
is dry and all fish which go up
the stream are (topped at the die
charge waters of the turbine
wheel Inside the prison yard
where salmon or other fish can be
caught and which has been done
nd sold In Salem markets. 1 do
not care about the few aalmon
that were caught out there. 1 bat
Ir not the Issue.
The penitentiary warden says
that a fish ladder would be Im
practicable or words to that effect
Co the ouUlde of the prison wsll
where the spillway la located there
It a eicelleat place for a fish lad
der and It could be put In at a
small cost. All that would be re
quired lo make the ladder prac
ticable would be a fine grate
across the creek to keep the aal
mon from entering the prison yard
lo tura then up the spillway
Witiuuei. This uoul.l give Hie Iib'i
i free wny all the .iy to Staytou
where they would enter the San
Ham river, giving the fish a cut
oft and save DO miles of travel for
litem.
If law enforremtut Is (he order
or the day. why doesn't Uovrruor
fierce see that the stale practices
what It preaches? No! There Is
only one kind of law enforcement
now and that Is Volsteadtam.
I'rlminala are paroled from th
bench, also automobile, btrycli
and other thieve, too numerous to
mention, hut you poor guy that
has something on the hip. you look
outl Uni t let them catch you or
you will get the limit.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
THE SOI L KLS8 LINGERS
LIUetnay Vail looked out of the
window. The train waa traveling
CO miles an hour across the Ne
braska prairies. 8ho wondered if
somewhere on the continent Rob
was opening- his eyes upon a dif
ferent and stationary landscape
juat a little while ao the two had
been together. Time, space and
circumstance had been as nothing
to their eouls.
The maid set the coffee and fruit
on the little table beside her. Kor
a moment she stood waiting tor
orders but seeing still that faraway
look on the face of her mistress
she left the compartment with the
words "If you want me, Mi?s
Lillemay, wilt you ring?"
Llllemriy was not aware that her
maid had left the room. She wan
living again the visit of her lover.
Reason was trying to tell her It
was all a dream but In her soul
she knew Rob had come to her last
night across the miles of sea and
land to tell her she was no long
er a poor little rich girl. He had
been with her. She still felt the
thrill of his kisses; she still heard
his voice.
More vivid became the events
of the ntejht, more sure her con
vie t ion that her dream if dream
It waa was truer and more rtiul
than things she had always con
sidered national.
She looked about the little room
For a moment her n oat r 11a were
assailed by the fragrance of cig
arettes and cmcky scotch home
spnn that always followed Rob
She almost looked to see if a bit
of a "fag" were lying on the win
dowsilL With renewed energy and hap
piness ehe drank -her coffee and
called her maid to draw her bath.
'Miss Lillemay,1 said Marie as
she entered. "Mrs. Vail asks that
you come to her whenever you
wish in the lounge. She has been
up quite a while."
Lillemay turned to the ffUi In
surprise. Until that moment the
world had been peopled only by
Rob nnd hereelf. She smiled as
she ralfzed she hnd been doing
thut which she had found faulty
in her mother and the others the
night before. She had been too
absorbed in her own affairs.
Should she tell her mother of
Rdb's visit to her? Instantly the
decided she could not tell anybody
of the wonderful thing that tad
happened to her. They would call
It only a dream and It would muke
her very unhappy.
Lillemay dressed very quickly
and soon waa in the lounge. Every
one wan already there; they seem
ed to be very much interested In
some sort of discussion.
As she papeared in the doorway
Harold Kennedy sprang to his feet
"Welrome, fair maid." he exclaim
ed, "there Is no need to ask you
how you have spent the nifht.
Aurora herself could not be more
radtart than you are this morn
ing." Acknowledging his compliment
with a smile Lillemay went to her
mother's chair and stooped to kiss
her.
"Did you sleep wel! dear." she
asked.
"Splendidly," was the surpris
ing answer. "I think we all spent
a restful night; we went to sleep
knowing we were ne.irlng home."
Nothing was said about the burn
Ing oil wells. Lillemay took it for
granted nothing more had been
heard about them. She looked
around. Harold Kennedy, she
thought, was a little pale and
strained but a ber mother did not
:seem to notice it, she called her
self fanciful.
The train was passing through
a village. "You see." spoke up Nun
nle, "that Peter Ibbetsoa picture
is being shown in all the small
towns. We just passed A on anoth
er billboard. Ws have been talk
ing, Lillemay, about that story.
Mr. Marchutont said be waa sure
it was ail a dream. He insisted no
one could project his soul into an
other life during sleep.
'Mr. Kennedy, however, seemed
(o think that I'eter really did live
for 20 years a life In which has
left the prisjn walls at night and
visited the woman he loved.
"Well," said Mrs. Vail, "very
it ran ye things are happening
every day. S e have begun to
think that they are commonplr.ee.
We accept them without the slight
est discussion. It does seem as
though It could be no more pecu
liar to transport our spirits across
miles of space than to transport
our olres across the world as we
do today."
