SWART REPORTS
The Willamette river Is gradually
forcing Its way over against the west
bank of the river across from Salem,
cutting Into the bank and in a few
years part of the main channel will
be flowing under the Polk county
approach or the Willamette river
bridge, according to prediction made
by County Engineer Hcda Bwart,
who not so long ago made some
surveys of the river in this vicin
ity in connection with a gravel
case in circuit court.
He stated that ten years ago be
predicted the river would cut its way
into the left bank aud it is per
forming Just as be expected it to
do.
"In mv nnlnlon it Is only a ques.
tlon of a few years before the steel
trusses of the big Bridge will have
to be extended on into Polk county
as the piling approaches of the
bridie as they now stand will be
inadequate to hold the bridge under
traffic when setting into what will
virtually be a part of the main
channel of the stream.
"While the river is cutting away
to the west the meander line on the
east has remained virtually the
same and the river ts merely broad
ening out at this part. This is apt
to shallow up the stream materi
ally by the time the river cuts
through a complete new channel
under the bridge as I am certain
it is bound to do in the course of
time and probably not so many
years at that."

not tonight I Roy was coming
back I Roy might be here at any
minute.
"No. nol" she protested anxious
ly. "I I can't let you in I Oh, I
warned you never never to come:
here!"
And then, before she had scarce
ly realized what he was doing, he
had pushed her almost roughly
away from the door, and . had
stepped into the hall.
His. voice came harshly again,
as he closed the door behind him:
"You go along there into that light
ed room 1 see down the hall! I'll
talk to you in there V
"Phil!" she cried ,out wildly.
"What does this mean? - Why do
you speak to me like that?"
"Go on into that room!" he re
peated. , '
She obeyed him mechanically.
She found her way to the desk and
leaned against it for suddenly her
knees felt 6trangely weak. What
did this mean? .He was standing
there on the threshold now unbut
toning his coat. His face was hag
gard, ashen.
And then from under his coat he
took out an object that, crumpled
as it was, she could not mistake,
and the sight of which, she knew,
left her own face bloodless too.
Here's your hat I" he said
hoarsely.
He flung It toward her. It struck
the typewriter and fell to the floor
on the far side of the desk.
She did not move. It did not
seem as though she had the power
to move or the power to speak. It
seemed as though she had never
seen so white a face as his.
"Why don't you speak?", he de
manded almost incoherently. "Why
don't you say something?"
"How how did you get it?" she
asked faintly.
"Is that all you have to say?
He laughed at her bitterly. "You
know very well how I got it, don't
you? I found it in the cellar of
the Murkman house beneath the
casement windowl" He came a
step toward her. 'T3t night you
asked me how I was going to ex
plain the presence of the mysteri
ous woman' In my story. Do you
know what I wrote? Did you read
the papers?"
She shook her head.
"I'll tell you, then! I said it was
a woman who must have been one
of the gang but, oh, my God, I
didn't know I was telling the
truthl"
He was rocking on his feet, his
words pouring from him in a shak
ing voice. "A thief! A criminal!
Youl I said she helped me to es
cape because she had probably
t.v.n mltw m arA (hat then
she gave me the slip. Oh, yes, I
proieciea youi i i wveu jw.
thought you were an honest wo
man! And nowl No wonder you
did not want me to come here!"
She was scarcely conscious of
what he said. She must get him
away from here. Suppose Roy
came!
"Please, please go!" she cried out
imploringly. "You mustn't stay
here! I I am not trying to to
escape. I will go with you."
"Where?" he flung out.
"Anywhere," she said Lvokenly.
"I I do not know. To to the po
lice, I suppose, from what you
have said."
"The polfce!" He .laughed rau
cously. "Why do you think I had
mac nat maaen unaer my coatr
I do not know," she answered
helplessly.
"Because he was close to her
now, and suddenly his hands closed
fiercely on her arms "because I
have not forgotten that you saved
my life last . night nnd because.
God help me, I sttn love you! Do
you understand? Enid, do you un
derstand? I love you! And I don't
know what to do!" -
She closed her eyes. When she
looked again he had thrown him
self into the desk chair, and his
head was burled in his arms out-
flung across the desk. She laid her
hand timidly upon his shoulder.
I do not know how you came
to be at there tonight," she wills--pered;
"but would it help, any,
could you believe me, if I told you
I am not not a thief, or or a
criminal? But, please, anyway, do
not let us stay here!"
He looked up at her, ignoring
her pleading to leave the horse
s though, Indeed? he had never
heard it. There was torment In his
eyes.
"If any man had told me tills
about you," he said in strangled
tones, "I think I should have killed
him. But I was there in that house
tonight myself. It was I who was
behind that portiere In the library
with a policeman! I know . that
unless you were one of the gang,
yes, and one of the Big Shot's gang,
you could never have known any
thing about Murkman's house, or
his wall safe, or have been there
tonight for I set and baited the
trap."
She stared at him wildly. In the
face of what he was saying, all else.
Roy, everything, was for the mo
ment swept from her mind.
You! Her throat was dry and
parched; she could scarcely speak.
A trap! I I do not understand."
"It was a trap I arranged to get
the Big Shot's gang. When I was
held in the house I overheard Bat
ty Rose and Skinny talking about
Murkman a. Skinny was going to
blow the safe. I beard enough to
know that Murkman's valet was
the. inside man and something
about the basement window being
fixed.
I fixed it up with Murkman and
got help from my friend, .Lieutenant
Kinger. Murkman agreed to a trip,

NORBLAD RIGHT
COREY ASSERTS
H, H. Corey, member of the pub
lic service (commission, in a letter
to Governor Norblad takes issue
with Chairman Miller of the com
mission and O. C. Bortzmeyer, the
third member, relative to the com
mission's attitude towards the ser-vlce-at-cost
pian of Corey & Harlan
in the street railway fare contro
versy.
Referring to your letter adressed
to the chairman of this commis
sion in which you so forcefully
point out the duties of this com
mission with its relation to the at
tempt on the part of the .city of
ficials of Portland to secure relief
for the street car riders from the
present 10 cent fare, the statement
of Chairman Miller manifestly was
made in behalf of the majority
opinion signed by Mr. Miller and
Mr. Bortzmeyer," Corey writes. "The
writer rendered a separate opinion
in whlchne wholeheartedly en
doresd theservlce-at-cost plan as
advocated by ,tho city's experts,
Carey dc Harlan.
There was no understanding be
tween Chairman Miller and thfs
writer as to the attitude of this
commission with respect to the co
operation with Messrs.' Carey and
Harlan.'
Corey declares it is the commis
sion's duty to cooperate with Carey
and Harlan to the fullest extent
with the city officials.

Hettin got hold of the combination

Hettin to bring him some papers in
his desk where he could'not help
but note the combination.
"We did'nt know whether Hettin
would fall for the combination
'plant' or not and in one sense it
did not matter. Our -object, was
to act auick action. We dldut
know who Skinny was. and we had
been unable to find out anything
about him: but we were sure that,
after last night, he would hare run
to cover.
"If he was the onrf man thev had

might be delayed; whereas, with
nothing to do but open the .safe,
any one of the gang could take
Skinny 's place and there prob
ably would be no time"" lost in
someone's doing so.
"We knew that Hettin In any
case would communicate with his
go between and the Big Shot's
gang to advise them of Mr. Murk
man's and his own departure, and
he was given every opportunity to
do so. Hettin, however, did fall
for the combination. And we had
made it so easy we got the woman
of the gang. We got you!"

According to the young American
engineer who travels round the
world building broadcasting sta

bid for the first place in powerful,
European radio stations. Discus
sions are under way for the estab
lishment in Moscow of a broadcast
ing station of no less than 400 kilo
watts to be provided by the Radio
Corporation of American. A station
of such strength should ordinarily
be audible In the United States.
The Rome station of Santa Pa

across the Atlantic, but the new
short-wave station shortly going on
me air at a distance or three or
four miles from Santa Palomba wilt
easily be audible throughout the:
American continent, under normal
atmosphere conditions.
This station built by the Mar
coni company will run on 13 kilo

about 80 meters. It will broadcast
the same program as the 50 kilo

UN THEE WdOEllLID)
That the new De Soto Straight
Eight is the lowest-priced Eight ,
In the world is only one of the
many appeals that this car is
making to thousands of buyers.
It is distinctly the kind of car
that gives no hint of low price.
It is a big car roomy and
comfortable. It is a powerful
car that gets away like, a
flash, and is capable of sus
tained high speed. Its Unisteel
type of body and chassis con
struction affords new measures
of sturdiness and safety. And
1 its mechanical features and
equipment parallel those
found in Eights selling for
hundreds of dollars more.
There is nothing commonplace'
about the De Soto Straight
Eight despite its low price.
And, anyone who will spend
five minutes behind the wheel
will find that there is far
more to recommend its owner
ship than its low price sen
sational as that is.
