Orenco's Bond Bubble
In bursting the Orenco bond bubble, the Better Business
Bureau or Portland has again justified its existence as a
protector of the public from fraudulent investment.
This deal bears all the earmarks of a clever and unscrup
ulous swindle. Last May a special election was held at
Orenco, a village on the Oregon Electric near Portland and
the city boundaries changed so as to exclude most of the 400
or 500 residents who lived on one side of railroad track,
leaving the town of Orenco, consisting of the property of the
Oregon Nursery company and other miscellaneous property
and some dozen or so families.
In June, at an election which bears all the earmarks of
irregularity, bond issues totaling 1550,000 are alleged to
have been authorized by the few remaining inhabitants of
the village and duly signed by the city officials, who were
also officials of the Oregon Nursery company, which has
been in financial difficulties.
Before the partition of the town, the assessed valuation of
Orenco Was $116,000. Its present assessed valuation is
probably considerably less. Against this valuation as
security, bonds totaling $550,000 were sold to the president
of the nursery company and by him through the fiscal agent
of the company, Frank E. Keelcr and his connections, peddled
to the investing public.
Suit has been started to invalidate $500,000 of these bonds
by purchasers of the first $50,000.

Another "Vile Sheet"
The Woodburn Independent comments as follows upon
Portland s attitude towards the proposed linen mill :
Portland cut down Its apporlionmcnt to the Snlcni linen mill and
then failed lo ralao even that. This is not a linen mill for Salem
alone, but for the entire state. Portland, Interested in its own
growth, giving little encouragement to its outside resources. Is but
pursuing a course that it has followed since it was a hamlet. That
is why periodically tho metropolis, pausing in its onward career.
turns to see what outside resources are doing and seeks trade irom
that quarter. That city seldom if ever considers appeals from
Industries other than within Its limits and learns, when rather late.
that It should not have been so ir.'lrish, niggardly and blind during
its prosperity. Portland in time will recognize the fact tha It is not
all of Oregon and without the backing of other parts of t lie slate it
will again enter Into a alllinp. We arc nevertheless proud of. l'ort
lnnd, but have little ndniiralion for Its secluslvcnesH. Without t tic
policy of living and helping tho rest ot Oregon to live It will never
step ahead of Seattle never to be a city of one million inhabitants.
It is now up to the Orcgonian to denounce the Independent
as a "contemptible, insolent, slanderous sheet" for daring lo
tell the truth about our sacrosanct metropolis, for abuse is
its only defense.
A Loss to Oregon
The passing of Prince L. 'Campbell, president of the
University of Oregon, who throughout his life has been
identified with the cause of higher education in Oregon, is
a distinct loss lo the state. He took a comparatively small
college and he left a relatively great university as an enduring
monument of Ins career.
Forced to struggle for existence in earlier years with
hostile legislatures and a public opinion inimical to higher
education, his unfailing courtesy and tact, as well as his
abilily and capacity, won over the university's worst enemies
and proof of the popularity he obtained for his cause was
evidenced in rapid expansion and increased attendance.
Under President Campbell the university kept pace with
the progress of the age and its activities covered a multitude
of fields. As the popular demand for education extended
to ever widening fields the university kept pace with nn
ingenuity in financing that was perhaps the keynote of
his success.
Though gone, he will live as a pioneer who builded
enduringly and well in enlarging the intellectual horizon
of a state.

POPULARITY
(From the Baltimore Evening Sun)
The average man wishes to do
huj duty. It is, the re tore, quite In
evj table that the vice of a repub
lic snouid be the making of laws.
As a rule, the men elected
representative of the people are
average men, neither better nor
worse than their fellow-cltitens.
Being average men, they "wish to
uo their duty.
ineir uuty, ooviously, is to run
tho business, of the country. But
the newly elected representative,

foundation of Utopia.
hat shall he do? The question
answers itself. He has zeal nnd
autnoniy; there are faults to be
corrected. He will make gome laws
to correct the faults.
Alas! Jle is neither a Solon nor
Solomon. His laws serve only
to annoy nnd irritate. He makes
bad matters worse. The ilet good
he accomplishes Is exactly none.
And the result is that the peo
ple are afraid of their representa
tives. They may enthuse about a
man while he la a candidate, but
when he takes office nnd is for the
time being Independent of them
they begin to be uneasy and to
watch him with dread.

d an act that wins friends is al
most certain to lose others. The

So the people, observing that

IVITTS NOT
IMPLICATED
IN ESCAPE

other vegetables available for food
nearby. The theory was advanced
first by the members of the Port
land police detachment aiding in
the man hunt, and may or may
not be well founded. But those
familiar w'ith former occurrences
of this kind In which the Portland
officers have participated are
not above suspecting that many
"leads" reported have existed chief
ly in their own minds, nnd have
been closely related to their desire
to prolong the lark they were en
joying.

and those In charge of the hunt
are loathe to believe that it was
one of the fugitives who entered
the Mcllheny homo near Walker
school house night before last.
Officers who investigated the re
ported house breaking yesterday
said that they were convinced that
if someone did enter the house it
was not one of the men sought.
Food, they say, would have been
the first cbject of any of the cons
in searching the place, and while
there was a whole pork roast, a
put of beans and other eatables In
plain sight none of this was taken.
Questioning revealed that Mrs. Mc-

til the enthusiasm of the chase has
subsided.
Th most flncrant and unjust of
the errors that have been broad
cast In reports of the atiair were
in a Rtnrv carried in Port
land papers yesterday, in which It
was sought to connect tne taxi
.iHvor nnA his uassenger in com-
niiniitf with the convicts in the
plot. It was stated that Ivitts had
disappeared the day following the
escape and could not be found by
officers seeking to question him,
and that the taxi driver was an ex
convict. The name oi Wley Zinn
another Salem taxi driver "was used
instead of that of Zlnna Zinn. :
Both of them are well known In
Salem, where they have resided for
years, and local authorities say
that neither has ever been a prison
inmate.
Facts About Ivitts
This angle of the escape was In
vestigated thoroughly by local of
ficers immediately after the break,
and both of these men were ab
solved of any and all connection
with the affair. The facts of this
investigation were available to all
newspapermen who asked for
them.

STRAW STACK
Des Moines. Iowa, Aug. 15
Oliver Dawson, 29, was being ques

tlon with the finding of the chnr
red body of a woman, believed to
have been murdered In a straw
stnek near Carlisle.
Dawson, it was reported made
inquiries at the Victoria hotel for
Jeanctte Wilier of Luvcrne, Minn.,
who registered there July 23 nnd
disappeared a day later, leaving no
clue as to her destination.
Dawson was questioned last night
but failed to yeveal anything con
necting him with the girl's disap
pearance or with the murder mys
tery at Carlisle, officers stated.
The man was arrested by Deputy
Sheriffs Anderson nnd Shuey, who
declare they are seeking three oth

there. He- drew his warrant lor
accumulated wages that day and
cashed it at tho state treasurer's
office. This, with the money he
had on hand, accounted for the
$100 the convicts took from him,
o which he said they returned $40.
After securing the money for his
warrant Ivitts went down town and
got-Zinna Zinn to drive back to
the hospital with him to get his
belongings.
'Our investigation satisfied us
that Ivitts and Zinn had no crim
