"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Plan for the Future The issue before the legislators is whether they will have the vision to plan for the future by enlarging the capitol site by the acquisition of Willamette campus or whether they will make no provision for the commonwealth's future expansion by limiting the grounds to the old site, one of the smallest in the United States and necessitating the abandonment of Willson park by the city. This subject has been convincingly set forth by Gover nor Martin. The capitol site enlargement will be vigorously combatted, every proposal for progress is in Oregon, and has always been, even in the days of the pioneers. There is al ways a very vocal reactionary element that has fought every public improvement, whether it be sewer systems, paved streets, good roads, new schools, court houses or capitals. Governor Martin has the same kind of a fight on his hands to provide adequate facilities for the future that Gov ernor LaFayette Grover had early in the 70's when he erect ed the former capitol. It was called "Grover's foljy," "Grav er's brick yard," "mausoleum" and other derogatory epi thets. But Grover had the vision and put it over, despite myopic opposition. Oregon is not a little state, despite the efforts of ob structionists who would throttle development. It is on the threshold of great growth and expansion and we should plan for it, as the builders of the former capitol did, and plan in a big way and not handicap future generations. As the fed eral government pays 45 percent of the cost and the project can be financed without bond issues, there is every incentive to make the most of the opportunity. Keep Expenses Down With the recommendation of Governor Martin that it "devote its undivided attention to the solution of the problem at hand" before the legislature should not only confine its activities to matters pertaining to reconstruction of the burn ed capitol, but in so doing should also strive to keep expenses of the special session at a minimum. Because of the expense to which the state has been put in titting up temporary quarters for the session it is est mated that the minimum cost will be at least $2400 a day. Already for the sake of of proposed extravagance in Clerkships are being proposed little or nothing to do; stenographers are being employed by members who will not know what to do with them, and the slated empoyes in the bill fDom if they all get jobs who have been promised them will leave no room for the few bills which will be printed. Printing is another item be accomplished by adoption of until it nas been reported out need for the hundreds of extra leit over when the session closes. i , By reason of the nature of the emergency accommoda' tions there will be need for an ana messengers, but beyond more tnan a skeleton organization. Stream Pollution The most flagrant instance common in Oregon is thus described by the Portland Journal: A fifteen mile blanket of death, thousands of dead fish in wiilam ette slough, near St. Helea?, Sauvies Island and mainland banks littered with dead silverside salmon, sea-run cutthroat trout, scrap fish and even crawfish, forced on the banks by polluted condition of the river, is a picture in a news story describing waier irom tne st. Helens pulp and The St. Helens mill denies the accusation, but it will probably be proven conclusively enough, for the sulphuric acids causing the fatal polution could come from no other source. And it is all so unnecessary for it can be eliminated and the vyasted valuable chemicals thereby saved at a profit to me mm. iney are in most other pulp and paper mills. All that is needed is a little law enforcement to bring it about. The laws of Oregon prohibiting pollution of waters are rigid enough to reach any offender, private or public, but they have seldom been enforced. Portland, Salem and other cities make the Willamette their sewer, despite the menace to J"l. lie i i-i- i ,n- t . ... .. .. iibii me ami puunc neaitn. it is only a question ot time, If it continues, before this sewerage pollution becomes as fatal to salmon as industrial chemicals. The cities of Oregon all have had the opportunity through federal grants to construct at a minimum of cost to themselves, modern sewerage disposal plants, whose pro ducts would pay for their operation, but the lethargy that characterizes progress in the state, has prevented its being taken advantage of, save in isolated instances. The menace continues unabated, our streams not only becoming unfit for human use, even bathing, but fatal to aquatic life. SEX EDUCATION FOR ISLAND FOLK Hawaii (IP) Sex education and guidance to children and parents will be furnished through the so cial hygiene association or Hawaii, recently organized. The organizers, consisting of doc tors, teachers and private citizens, adopted a five point program of objectives. 1. To furnish all who guide chil dren with sound material and meth ods for sex education. 2. To preserve and strengthen the family as the basic social unit, through family counseling, and training for marriage and parent hood. 3.

She had run away from Edwin Barnes their wedding night, and had worked at advertising In Birmingham. But Edwin almost died of pneumonia, and Emily returned to him and re signed her bright dream of David Carroll at the same time. Now she 1b trying with all her might to be a good wire," and not to aisiiKe ner husband's Barents too -much. It is a struggle. Chapter 25. THE BARNES Two nights later they had supper with Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. It was their first meal there without the comforting presence of Prances and Jeffrey, and Emily approached it with misgivings. It was strange, she thought, how little real consid eration you gave to your prospec tive parents-in-law before you were married. Actually they were fright fully Important, not only in them selves, but for what they had con tributed to our husband's character and background. Like his wife, Mr. Barnes was plump and ruddy and reactionary. The list of things that Mrs, Barnes prided, herself upon was exceeded, only by the list of things that Mr. Barnes didn't bellve In. He didn't believe in bobbed hair, or dinner at night, or the theory of evolution. I In fact his credo, Emily thought Irreverently, could probably be summed up in the words: "I believe 1 in the Holy Catholic church (In the Protestant sense, of course); the communion of saints; and the Barnes Grocery company." The dining-room was typical of Mr. Barnes, The furniture was oak, heavy and iricredfbly ugly. It had j outlived one generation and would, H she should lack money or courage. outlive several more. The china was rose-sprigged Hav- Hand, and the heavy white damask smelled faintly of cedar. There was cold sliced lamb for supper, and mashed potatoes with rich gravy. and caramel cake and ice-cream. . After addressing a few perfunc tory remarks to her Mr. Barnes talked to Edwin about business, while Mrs. Barnes discussed the presidential possibilities of the Wom an's Auxiliary, for the coming year. Jeffrey Pelton made it a rule nev- ed to discuss business at meals and Emily wondered why Mr. Barnes and Edwin, who had been together at the office alt day, found it neces sary to continue the topic at night. She wanted Edwin to tell her about his business, but so far, steep ed in his father's contempt for fem inine intellect, he had been reticent. But meals, she had been taught to believe, were social affairs. Mr. Barnes didn't think so. Meals were purely for the purpose of hold ing body and soul together, and you ate them and left the table. He didn't believe in dividing them into courses, or sitting over the crumbs when you'd finished. Emily's defection had been a great blow to his pride, and only the most ardent entreaties from his wife had induced him to swaliow the Insult. They must do it, she insisted, for Edwin's sake; if he still loved her and wanted her (though Heaven only knew how he could) then they must make the best of It. She laid great stress on Emily's breakdown, advancing the theory that illness had temporarily affected her mind. Such Instances, she has tened to point out, had no connec tion with hereditary insanity; they were merely the result of illness. In the end Mr. Barnes had re lented, but he was actuated less by Christian forgiveness than by i recognition of the impregnable po Through menacing Rnoke-rlouda that billow and dip, MacDrmont and PuffT continue their trip The forent fire mm, there'a oka In their Then THUNDER AND LIGHTNING rip open the tklea. isir 13 Sims sition the Pel tons occupied in Els ton. Of course the position of the Barnes family was equally goad, but still "I wish we could prevail upon your mother to accept the office," Mrs. Barnes was saying. Acutally she was wondering why they hadn't thought of offering it to her. "I doubt If she'll do it," Emily said. "She was president three years ago. and she believes in rotation in office. Besides, she has so many irons in the fire!" Lucy Barnes knew that. She did n't exactly believe in dissipating your energies in so many fields, pos sibly because there were so few fields in which she could dissipate hers. "I suppose you'll be stepping into her shoes in a few years " Mr. Barnes flung a sentence Into the midst of their conversation like a benevolent parent tossing candy to his children. , Edwin looked appealingly at her. He was aware of the hostility of his i Landmark Lore By E. B. A 4-story grist mill with numer ous blank windows stands silent and alone on the banks of Big Pudding river at Parkersville, Not many travelers who go that way and read the signs posted on the building, "Danger, Keep Out," know that it stood there when gold was discov ered in a mill race in the Sacra mento valley, 1848. William and Cynthia Ann Parker built this mill, and a saw mill nearby on their donation land claim, num ber 49. of 640 acres. They had an extensive trade in flour, feed, fir and cedar lumber until Mr. Parker's death in March, 1859. Mrs. Parker was married Nov. 1, 1859 to William LerwiU. He bought ISLAND PONDERS LORE OF ORIENT Honolulu (LP) Japanese as well as other foreign languages should be taught in Hawaii's public schools, Lawrence M. Judd, ex-governor of Hawaii, told the ninth annual con ference of New Americans here. The New Americans organization is comprised of youth of Oriental ancestry, preparing to exercise their rights as TJ. S. citizens. Judd offered the teaching of Japanese in public schools as the answer to the problem of foreign language schools, which lie out side the jurisdiction of the terri torial education department. Such a practice, he said, would eliminate the cultural need of the language schools. "By and large," Judd told the delegates, "the people of the main land still feel you have not lived long enough in America to be thoroughly assimilated in our body politic. This feeling places you in a position of unusual and grave responsibility." While recommending the teach ing of Oriental culture Judd scored the contention that American-born Orientals would not be loyal to the United States. He said it was "pure theory," not borne out in the his tory of the territory. "Orientals in Hawaii are further along in their Americanization than foreigners in many parts of conti nental United States," he said. "The American idea of equality and of self-government, Hawalians maintain, again has proved itself. These citizens of Oriental extrac tion for example are given to fru gality, hard work, self dependence and respect of law. . "The record tn Hawaii shows that fewer persons of Oriental extrac tion come in conflict with the law, become charges of the community, require hospitalization, or apply for federal aid, than of any other group." AGED KNIGHT WEDS The romance of a seventy-one-vear tld knight has been revealed by the announcement of the mar riage of Major Oeneral Sir Philip Palln to Miss Gladvs Love. The ceremony was performed in Hove England, home of the bridegroom Philips first wife died last year. parents and painfully anxious for Emily to overcome it. Emily smiled. "I don't know. Civic and religious activities are things that you can only escape by dying, once you've gotten Into them. I'm going to hold out a little long er and do the other things first." Mr. Barnes read his own meaning Into her reply. "I guess you're right," he said with a significant twinkle. "You'll probably be pretty busy with other things for a few years." She flushed. He meant children, of course, and if she failed him. In that the twinkle would be replaced by veiled sarcasm. In the future she must become accustomed to having her figure scrutinized whenever she came to the Barnes' household. Por Edwin's sake she managed a smile. "I meant cultivating my gar den and my friends and my mind," she said. "But of course those other things have to be considered." Encountering Edwin's eyes for an instant she read his gratitude and felt repaid. Being married to Edwin, Emily found during the first few weeks that they had lived at the little white house, was rather like a trip to the dentist. You dreaded it un speakably until it was actually upon you, and then you found that after all you could stand It quite easily. The blinding happiness that she had hoped to find was missing, of course, but perhaps that was some thing that existed only in romances. Thinking of the girls and women of her acquaintance who had been married more than a few months, she couldn't find one who was hap py in that way, so perhaps she had been foolish to hope for it. And if that sort of happiness did n't last perhaps it was better never to have had it, then you could make no comparisons. After all, you didn't marry men like David; you dreamed about them, and ended by marrying men like Edwin and being reasonably content. During those first few weeks Ed- win was almost child-like in his happiness. Secure In his conviction that she was permanently his, he became more definitely an individ ual than she thought possible. Cer tain characteristics of the new Ed win delighted her; others, too rem' inlscent of his father, filled her with misgivings. (To be continued). FLETCHER the claims of heirs at law to the Parker estate, and operated the mills until his death in 1872. Persons fa. miliar with English manners and customs soon guessed Mr. LerwiU s aristocratic nationality. Children who visited the mill shared his gen erosity, and often went home ex claiming. "See this pair of pigeons the miller gave me" I. After Mr. LerwiU's death, Mrs. Parker Lerwill married D. H. Ford who was not interested in operating the mills, and for some time a mil ler, "Sam Slick." whose real name was Peter Northmore, had charge of the estate. , In 1874 Vollier Wattier purchased the Parker-Lerwill mills. He had his sons, William, Francis and Vol lier, Jr.i had a large trade in lum ber and flour. The upright, or sash saw was first used in the saw mill and stone burrs were in use for grind grinding flour and feed. Some years later they built the mill two stories higher, and replaced foundations that first were hewed out by hand. Circular saws, im proved water wheels and the roller process for grinding flour were in stalled. Forty pounds of flour were then given in exchange for one bush el of wheat, instead of the toll of 1-10 for feed and H for flour. During the spring and summer they did logging with oxen in the mountains, and floated the logs down the Abiqua into Pudding river during the first big water. Farmers above the mill, during the slack sea son, also did logging. Among these were George Ritchey. Alexander Es son and William Cline and their sons. In March. 1912, the Wattlers. for the consideration of $14,168 sold to the Labish Drainage company, all their right, title and interest, to dam the waters of Lake Labish and Little Pudding river, and to back and overflow the said waters on the company's lands, and lands adja cent therto- Since that time. 23 years, the mills have not been oper- j ated. I This important event, the release of an eighty years' water right, led to dredging the main channel of the riven and widening and deepening an outlet of the lake into Big Pud ding river. This means of drainage mad the sub-Irrigated or beaver dam lands suitable for cultivation, and instead of "swamp land" we have the famous Lake Labish sec tion.

They manage their land holdings of the estate and answer questions for visitors, concerning the historic community. SEVEN ROBBED AS THEY SLEEP While seven men slept in a house in Humewood, South Africa, recent ly a burglar ransacked all their clothing without any of them being disturbed. The audacious theft was not discovered until the seven awoke next morning several hours after the culprit had left. Jefferson J. T. Jones is workmp in the Smith and Fontaine store while Lincoln Waterman is off duty operation, News Behind The Ne , By Paul UallOD Washington, Oct. 21 Some peo ple have been putting the currency stabilization hopes of State Secre tary Hull together with the stabil ization willingness of Treasury Sec retary Morgenthau and arriving at the conclusion that stabilization Is near. That is not the right answer. It is not even being discussed, except academically. That is why Messrs Hull and Morgenthau can afford to be so free In their pious public ex pressions. Their financial advisors have told them it is Impossible, and that the developments in Europe lately have made it even more impossible. In fact, the real inside trend of thought lately has been far beyond such orthodox procedure. There has been a revival of inner interest in the possibilities of "an interna tional currency, other than gold" and in the forgotten Ideal of the new deal, the commodity dollar. These are not to be taken very seriously either as yet, except as they reflect the remoteness of the old fashioned ideas of stabilization '.n the new deal mind. Cat and DogThe commodity dollar theory is, of course, consider ed out of the international ques tion by the money policy handlers of the administration. Hie most optimistic among them has come to the conclusion now that It might work all right if trade balances could be cancelled off, but nations must have some form of interna tional money to pay for the excess of purchases over sales. The inefficiency of gold as a method of payment is being con sidered, In view of the fact that the stability of the dollar is draining gold from the rest of the world, and probably will continue to do so. The question is what the rest of the world will use for international payments when its gold is gone. You may suspect this would en courage the other nations to be drawn into some stabilization ar rangement. The reverse Is true. Their gold weakness would place them at a disadvantage in any gold stabilization negotiations. Thus, the gold dog continues to chase the trade cat in an ever di minishing circle, getting nowhere, except toward a tooth and claw. clash in the center. Responsibility Another reason why Messrs. Hull and Morgenthau feel free to speak Is because they know Britain is holding up stabil ization and will continue to do so. Britain does not want to tie herself down In the existing situation. When she will care to, if ever, Is not yet within the realm of speculation. Help Congressmen have been slipping back into town one by one lately. It seems that many of those who went home after the close of the session were besieged from morn ing until night by Job-seekers, re lief callers, etc. The record for the round-trip jump was established by one congressman, who traveled 2.000 miles to his home, remained one day, and then started back to Washington. Another recent arrival here said that, while home, he had to go to THE BEARS By Mary Graham Bonner Although the little man Willy Ntl- ly knew he had a great deal to do, he was very happy that he and his animal friends had acted so well in the sideshow that there was money to spend for much that they needed. And, in addition, there was a good deal put away for things that they might need later on. He stroked his side-whiskers and smiled so that his face creased up and his little bit of a nose could hardly be seen. He wondered what he would do first of all. In the meantime the bears were calling each one of the other Puddle Muddlers aside and telling them they had a wonderful idea. "Meet us up at our cave. Top Notch," the bears whispered to the rooster. "We'll be waiting for you," they told sweet Face, the lamb. "I'll run up there at once and be there ahead of you," barked Rip, the dog. "We'll waddle up as quickly as our webbed feet can take us," quacked all the ducks. "I'll fly there this moment," caw ed Christopher ColumbUF Crow. "You know, too, that a crow always flies in a straight line. You've heard the expression 'as straight ' as a crow flies,' or speaking of a distance be tween two points and saying 'that is the distance as the crow flies'." "Unless," said Top Notch, the roo ster who was listening, "you are bent on mischief and don't keep to the straight line." "We have no time for jokes now." cawed Christopher. "We want to hear what the bears have to tell us. Ji Tomorrow The Meeting. his downtown office through alleys In order to get away from begging constituents. Saved The dignity of th state department is never forgotten and rarely lost, but Mr. Hull dropped it on the floor the other day and al most shattered it. Mr. Hull was attending one of those buffet luncheons of the Pan American union. Latin-American diplomats were thicker than at a Rio fiesta. They all forgot him in the rush for food, all of them stand ing in a corner juggling a plate of lamb stew. He got along decorously until his fork slipped unobserved to the floor. Stiff and starched, in a morning coat, he tried to reach for it with one hand while holding the stew in the other. His foot kicked it and he chased it, only to have the sime deplorable thing happen again. He could not eat with his fingers, nor could he get down on his hands and knees and corner the fork. The last shred of his dignity was saved by a sympathetic newsman who rescued the fork and enabled Mr. Hull to resume his luncheon be fore the returning diplomats caught him playing one-handed leap-frog with himself. . HasteAnother case of bad addi tion lately was the rumored assump tion that President Roosevelt was rushing back to Washington because he planned to disembark at a Flor ida or South Carolina port. The fact is Mr.' Roosevelt told newsmen off the record at Hyde Park before he left that he intended to curtail his trip exactly that way. The real explanation appeared to be that the president does not enjoy the waters off Cape Hatteras at this time of year. Also, disembarkation south of Hatteras will permit him to spend an extra day fishing. Accuracy A business man wrote a sarcastic letter to a government ag ency sometime back, suggesting that the agency would probably "don Its coat of ermine" and act officiously in his case. His stenographer ap parently misunderstood him. She made it "coat of vermin." The recipients of the letter agreed that the stenographer was probably more accurate than her boss. They are a defunct agency of the NRA. Answers to " A reader can get the answer to any question of fact by writing The Capital journal Information Bureau, Frederic J.
