Former Governor Oswald
National Committeeman for
paper interview as declaring:
i rr Wkitjr m Tt-rr and Georae-
mor In tha Democratic and Republican primaries tor governor. I will
resign aa Democratic national committeeman and ma lor governor as
an Independent.
Pierce, Joseph and West! What a hell of a combination
: of hell-raisers to pick from! The campaign would be the
best show ever staged in Oregon with something- popping
all the time, as Walter weeps, George hurls vitriol and Os
plunges the stiletto. And whoever won, would continue the
! circus under the big domei though it would no longer be
i three ringed.
Tis a consumation devoutly to be wished, especially
i; from a newspaper standpoint. West made more news than
' any governor Oregon has had since Pennoyef told Grover
I' Cleveland to mind his own business.1 Fire-crackers were
: banrins perpetually throughout West's jazzrtime regime,
Pierce's saxaphone merry-go-round had an accompaniment
of bombs and they weren't all duds, either. Having had a
tour years rest for jaded nerves, we sigh again lor trie day
- when there'll be again something doing all the time in Salem.
You have to look to the Democrats for color either in
6tate or nation. The Republicans are like their symbol, the
elephant, bone-headed and dull beasts of burden that exe
cute orders. Joseph is by temperament a Democrat just
! like the Sons of Wild Jackasses in the Senate, who while
i' masquerading as Republicans
Democrats. The Democrats are also like their emblem, tne
jackass, always braying and using their heels against each
other and kicking away victory when it is within their grasp.
. So Mr. West, as national committeeman, is running true
! to Democratic form when he declares that if Mr. Pierce is
nominated by the Democrats, he will resign from the party
i to encompass the defeat of the nominee and the election of
the Republican disbarred hybrid. It is because there is no
harmony, that there is no Democratic party in Oregon, only
a bunch of rule or ruin factions whose motto is "All against
; one and one against all."
A Major Problem
i 1 Without question the greatest problem confrontino; the
United States as well as the over-populated countries of
Europe, is unemployment, and it is a problem that will in
', jrrease in importance-with the years; s .This- is one result of
I- the machine age.
i. i A majority of our population has been drawn from the
country to the city, but fewer farmers are producing a
greater output than ever in history. The same process is
: going on in our industries, men are being replaced by ma
i chines, fewer are annually employed and the output greater.
; So we have a surplus not only of agricultural, but of manu
j factored products and of the unemployed.
It is estimated that only about one-eighth of our 6,500,
i 000 farmers have taken advantage of the best scientific
!; tnethods and the most up-to-date agricultural machinery
i available which accounts for the diversity in costs of pro
!' duction. Eventually all who remain on the farm will have
I to lower costs by modern methods to survive which will
further increase production and lessen the number of toilers,
i What is to become of all these unemployed, in city and
; country? Some of course will find employment in new in
dustries, but a vast number will be turned adrift and pro
vision of some kind made for
land and trance seek to solve temporarily by doles and pen
sions for the unemployed will soon have to be met in our own
country if it is not already here.
As a preliminary to a solution of the problem. Senator
Wagner of New York has introduced three bills, drafted by
the international unemployment conference:
One calls lor setting on a bureau of unemolovment In the denart-
tnent ol labor atatisttea to gather
cerning unempravment oondiuonn. The second authorizes $4,000,000 to
to create a cooperative federal employment bureau and the third au
thorises 1190.000,000 for promotion of a long time system of public works
to guarantee steady employment In government buildmg operation.
1 Jubilant Lumberman
Lumbermen of Oregon are said to be iubilnnr. Waus
the Senate has voted a tariff
. tariff that can only benefit the industry in two states,
'. Oregon and Washington, and which will penalize the people
of all the 48 states in higher prices for building. Perhaps
the tariff will bring prosperity to the lumbermen, we hope
sjo, though how an industry thut depends upon foreign tnnr
i kets can be materially benefitted by a tariff on imports re
mains a mystery.
One result will probably be a retaliatory tariff by Can
ada on lumber imports, to aid Canadian lumbermen. While
this will not seriously affect the fir lumber business, it will
militate against the pine lumbermen, for Canada is one of
their markets. And it is not at all improbable that an ex
j. port duty will be added by Canada on pulp and paper pro
,. ducts. Canada, our best customer, is not going to be dis
criminated against on so 'many commodities without retali
ation. If a tariff could save an industry that produces a sur
i. J)lus, it would have saved wheat, hops, prunes and other
products, for high tariffs prevail for all. Yet the prices of
all of the commodities, despite protection, rest on the law of
,. supply and demand, except to American consumers. ..
To secure this protection for our lumbermen, all of our
, IopI will pay more, for sugar, for cement, for a thousand
T Other necessities of life included in this tariff of abomina
l tions. They were all secured by log-rolling for local privi
i leges under the leadership of Senator Grundy, king of the
.'lobby, who has by appeals similar to those of the lum'ner
stale senators, defeated the Jong battle of tho coalitionists
to restrain the grabs.
Tins people, that is the consumers, are apparently in
tfifferpnt now to what is going on. But when the new duties
tore in effect and the cost of living mounting the storm will
!' treak among the mulcted. It is not the passage of a tariff
, kill that causes the trouble, it is the afUr-cffcvt yet to be
experienced. . " i

Veteran Captain
OfRiverhoats Tells
Of Pioneer Days
Echoes of the old river steamer days when water formed
the most feasible and popular
lem Wednesday by Captain Frank J. Smith of Portland, for
53 years a "merman" on the Wil--
lamette, Columbia and Snake rtv
era. The particular evidences of
the steamboat days which the Can
tain brought with him were photo
graphs of the river steamers noted
in Salem during the 60's and 70c,
together with extracts from a diary
written by Captain George A. Pease
in 18o9, which, he presented to Hal
. Patton,
Smith worked for a number of
years with Hal Patton's father, Tom
McFarlane Patton, secretary-treas
urer and business manager of the
People's Transoortation company
pioneer steamboat company. A. A.
McCully, related to the Patton
family by marriage, was president
of the P. T. company. Que of the
exhibits Is a pass on the People's
Transportation company written by
McCully for Jacob Katnm, million
aire steamboat magnate who died
in 1SI2.
Two of the steamboats owned and
ran by the People's Transportation
comixmy were named the "Fannie
Patton' and the E. N. Cook for
members of the Patton family. The
Pannie Patton beat out the old Re
liance, known In 1805 to H7 as the
fastest steamboat on the Willam
ette, and for a number of years the
Fannie Patton and the Alice,
owned by the same line, were the
.speediest boats on the run between
Portland and the Willamette val
ley towns. A picture of the Reli
ance Is Included In the collection
brought by Smith to Patton and
the Captain Is endeavoring to se
cure pictures of the Pannie Patton.
A photograph ot the City of Sa
lem built In 1B75 by the U. P. Scott
company before they were farced
out of the business by their Utter
rivals, the People's Transportation
company. Is shown in the exhibit.
The city of Salem was noted as the
steamboat on which every officer
was an accomplished musician, and
waa one of the favorite passenger
boats on the run to Portland.
The Willamette Chief, built lit
1814 by the Willamette Transporta
tion and Locke company, was oper
ated directly from Corvallis to As
toria where the loads of grain car
ried were transported directly to an
ocean vessel, making CorvallM a
seaport. The Willamette Chief,
pictured In the collection, was ono
of the largest boats ever used oil
the Willaraette and was made ex
pressly to fight the railroad lines
to which it was later sold.
Both the Willamette Chief and.
the Beaver, built In 1073 and also
pictured In the collection brought
to Patton. were used to start
small Insurrection in the rate Cur
ling. The Beaver waa later used
In British Columbia waters.
Captain Smith tells many almost
unbelievable tales ot the skill with
which the river boat captains han
dled their crafts In the hey-day of
steamboaUiui. One large lie am.
boat, the "Onward.' made Its wav
up Mill Creek to about where Wil
lamette unlvmrty- now stands;
went over low ground to attiere tho
first Methodist church ts now lo
cated and turned around and went
bark: . Tills was during the noted
iresiwe. of MXs andr was purely a
bluff on the captain's part to show
how he could manage his boat.
Another noted adventure in river
strombsatlng was that of -th
Lucklamute Chief, whose cantaiaj
took It as far up the Lurkimwts
river as Alrlie. according to Cspi
lain Smllh. For several year
tesmbuats ran uu the Tua'aUn
river several miles above IllUsboro
to a place known aa Emerlck's
Bridge, Steamboats were also used
extensively on the Santiam river.

highway were brought to Sa
the first of his many runs exactly
57 years ago Wednesday night at
Salem. Since then he has worked
on more than 200 river steamers.
Smith tells of the rapidity with
which men went from one steamer
to another in the early days on the
river, mentioning a man known as
"Three Trip Dan" because three
trips on any one boat was the limit
of his staying with, that Job. When
asked what his sobriquet was.
Smith laughingly declared he never
stayed with a job on any single boat
kug enough' to get a nickname.
Extracts from the diary of Cap
tain George A- Pease, brought to
Patton by Captain Smith, include
the following quaint Quotations:
"Jan. , I860. 'Onward' left Cane
mall about 4 a. m. Foggy at Booties,
but I ran on to Chamiraeg and laid
down and did not start on account
of the fog, but Capt. Jamieson
started at 10'i o'clock and in try
ing to land at Davidsons Land
ing got turned around and when I
looked out I told him he was eolng
downstream on the opposite side
and below Davidson's. I took the
wheel and ggt back to Crawford's
Landing and laid up.
March 10, 1859. I went to Santi
am City on Santiam river with the
'Onward and Janueson was at
Victoria, came back 3 days after
ward." July 22, 1859. Chris Swelt-
zer started for San Francisco. He
left on the steameP 'Jennie Clark.'
August 19, 18?i. Chris Swettzer
returned from Ban Francisco,
brought 300 watermelons."
One of the mounted pictures In
the exhibit presented to Patton is

1874. It shows J. B. McClalne,
wearing a stovepipe hat. Qovernor

that the (3S.100 was in return for
maps and other data on surveys of
the Tennessee river sold to the Car
bide company by the Improvement
associauon.
Haggerson. said Friday that he
gave the money in response to an
appeal by the republican chairman
but said he would not say that "we
bought" the maps adding "I be
lieve It was a consideration for the
money we gave."
Senator Blaine, republican, Wis
consin, said while Moore was on the
stand, that the records produced for
the committee by Blyth and Bon
ner showed that when the $22,000
deposit was made there was a defi
cit in Huston's account ot S1959S.
Moore, questioned about this, said
this indebtedness was for margin on
stocks but denied that he was di
rected to make up the balance over
drawn. Moore testifying that on acces
sion he was given instruction by
Huton as to the purchase of stocks,
added that he received two checks.
one for $22,000 and the other for
$14,100 from a messenger who said
they were Iran the republican
chairman.
The witness added that he did
not know the messenger and did
not know where the money came
from. He was questioned sharply
about this, but replied that he
would take money without question
ir Informed that it came from Hus
ton. Testimony given by Haggerson
about the money given Huston con
flicted with the latter's version of
the circumstances surrounding the
contributions.
Haitgerson said his recollection
was that the two contributions were
not agreed upon at one time.
The republican chairman had
testified the $3C,100 was agreed up
on originally and that after the
$22,000 was paid the next check
automatically becams- $14,100.
The president of the Carbide com
pany arid that Huston came to him
and said he needed $22,000 "at
once" to meet the obligations of his
association. Haggerson added that
Huston did not tell him why he
wished the check made out to V7. E.
Moore.
The republican chairman who
on the stand for four days de
clared that he deposited the $3,
100 with a brokerage flrm because
he wished to use it as an "emer
gency account." He also emphati
cally averted that he had - given
$38,100 to J. W. Worthlngton. exe
cutive chairman of the Tennessee
River Improvement association.
Reports that Huston would re
sign his post as republican chair
man bare persisted since his ques
tioning by the lobby committee be
gan. He, however, haa denied this.
His wtUidrsyal at some later dare,
however, would cause no surprise
in political circles.
