The Willamette rlv demand will be made by Senator . er bridge Is now under way and when Charley Hull until after the official ; canvas of the primary election re - turns has been made. Efforts of certain newspapers to forecast Senator Hall's Independent candidacy, at the same time Infer ring that the recount Is certain, are silly. If Hall's state advisory com mittee of lawyers, which, It Is claimed, Is still functioning in checkng evidence pertaining to the election results, should recommend a recount as the one means avail able to substantiate what Is said to be the sincere belief of his support- ers that Hall is the regularly noml - nated republican candidate for gov-1 ernor, then it Is certain that there ' will be a recount. Announcement to ' this effect, however, will come in due time from no one but Senator' Hall himself. i The absurdity of a premature in-! dependent candidacy declaration Is j Tho lumber cut lg estimated at pres evident when It is realized that ; ent at about 3000 feet per day. The should a recount confirm alleged lr- timber is all right at the mill, and regulartles and make Hall, not 01- cott, the nominee, then Hall would , be an Independent candidate against' himself as the regular iiartv candi - date. Possibly no great harm Is done In flaunting the IndepeurVnt candidate threat at stated Intervals by news- papers having a purpose In fanning '; Into motion the political atmospl ere. YREKA. June 10. In tho pres But certain It Is that there can be,ence of the Immediate relatives of little gained In attempting to place, a cand date for nom'natlou for gov- ernor In such a rh'iculous llthl. The forces behind Hall are deter- mined to use every moans to g"t at the facts which they believe exist. In the meant'me what else ran be done but wait for the official count. Oregon Voter.

IGOLD HILL IS BECOMING POPULAR WITH TOURISTS Motoring days are here and the ! road In both directions from (iold Hill are as thick with cars as robins in the trees. The Pacific high way in Oregon Is now In splendid condition. Summer paving opera tions are hindering the fullest en joyment of motor travel, but this early In the season the detours are m,t "eaiI' 80 1)ad a laler- a,1(1 tnou sands are taking advantage of this fact to reach their destinations In ;' l""tl1- B0,,, or east before the roads are cut up where the travel Is shunted off the main highway. With r,'w exceptions the route between here and Portland is a boulevard. These delays cause no Impatience to the Oregonlan because It means t lie completion of the entire paved Pacific highway In Oregon In the near future. In the vicinity of Yon-i-alla and in the canyon near Canyon villo, paving operations will neces sarily put travel on time schedules, as detours will be impossible. One very beautnful bridge that will soon be opened to travel Is the one at completed will permit the travel to uso the west side of the river be- tween Oregon City and Portland cutting out the roughest piece of pavement In Oregon.

Ar- 'thur Hale Sprague, 74, died In Still- SCANDINAVIAN S The Scandinavians living In and around -Ashland, and in fact, those throughout southern Oregon, are go lug to hold a big gathering next Sun day, and It Is confidently expected there will be the largest number of descendants of the Norsemen present that has ever been brought together In this state.

Dick Posey has woven the following legend about this spot, and, some day, when Ashland has discovered the advertising value of such legends and monuments, It will be fitted with a headstone and a cross, with a small pouch receptacle on it to hold a little pamphlet of this legend. People would carry It away with them as an Interesting memen to of the Ashland auto camp, and the word of mouth advertising thus engendered would amount to thous ands of dollars in value to Ashland. We would suggest that the park board have the grave properly fin ished, and the chamber of com merce have this little legenn printed by thousands and Kept In the pouch at the grave where visitors can get them to send away. POCATELLO (By Dick Posey) Would you hear a tale that would touch your heart With its sweet simplicity? Would you sweep the chords of a human soul And list to Its melody? TIs only a legend, it might be true. And perchance It Is only a dream, But truth that la woven from fancy's skein Is the fairest truth, 'twould seem. On a summer day In the misty past, On a day like this, my friend, At the torrent's side In this canyon deep Where the shadows and sunlight blend, The friendly tribes of a savage horde Had gathered In friendly throng. To bask in the shade of this forest deep And list to the torrent's song. They loved this spot as we do today, For Its kindly and sweet repose, Where the air seems touched with the tang of wine And the gentle zephyr blows; Where medical waters springing up From fountains we know not where, Gave faithful promise pt lengthened years And vigor those years to bear, The warriors talked In muffled tones And they had strange things to tell, How an alien folk had entered tholr land, Their own loved land to dwell. These people had faces pale as milk And were mighty and strong In war, And their weapons flashed and thun dered And slew the game from afar. E'en as they talked a maiden Came swift aB an arrow's flight, 'Twas the chleftan's falreBtdaughter With eyes like a moonless night, As fair as the tints of autumn, With the grace of agile fawn, And a soul as pure as the morn's first beams That kis, the brow of the dawn. She spoke: "The foe Is coming, Be swift, he Is near at hand. Do you see the hock on yon hill top? It is there I will take my stand." Her lover spoke: "Nay, go not," But she answered with fearless eye: "I am your chleftan's daughter, Pocatello can but die." And soon the battle was raging Where rests our Ashland fair. And the maiden stood on the hill top A constant sentinel there; And oft the vicious bullets Came hissing around her form, But she stood like c.ilseled marble In the fury of a storm. She watched the tide of battle In its fitful ebb and flow, And tlgnalled her faithful warrlorg GATHER F OR THEIR NATIONAL I amitm trams wmi Where lurged the hidden foe; And the hearts of white and savage Grew cruel with bitter hate, While the shuttle moved relentless In the growing web of fate. And ever the fight grew fiercer, And ever their hate more strong, But the maiden stood undaunted Cheering her braves along; Then her lover sank down dying, Waving a last goodbye. She pressed a hand to her breaking heart, But her courage did not die. And Just as the run was sinking To Its billowy couch of rest, A shot from the hated paleface Sank deep In the maiden's breast; She cried as her slight form yielded To the bullet's cruel kiss, " Tis sweet to die for my father's - tribe And a beautiful land like this." They burledj her here in this win some spot At the rushing torrent's side,' And they heaped great stones on her tender breast, Her beautiful form to hide. We have fashioned those stones in this rustic seat, By the side of this rushing stream. (This is daught but a legend; it might be true; Perchance it Is only a dream.) HUGHES GETS HONORARY . UNIVERSITY DEGREE ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 19. The honorary degree of doctor of laws was bestowed upon Secretary of State Hughes at the University of Michigan commencement today. Secretary Hughes, In delivering the commencement address, declar ed that International negotiations cannot be successfully conducted In the face of a fire of criticism from a "clamorous public." He asserted that the old European diplomacy of Intrigue was discredit ed by the world war. He Insisted, however, that a certain amount of secrecy Is necessary even In Ameri ca's "open diplomacy." Premature developments in the press or In pub lic forums, he said, may prevent the accomplishments of the most enlight ened alms, and gives opportunity for the Insidious efforts of selfish Inter ests, as well as favoring opposition abroad. s JUNE 21 AT 8 A:M.

Many fires are started every Fourth by fire works landing In some unguarded spot, and with dry grass on every hand, a spark might become a blazing forest destroying thousands o' dollars worth of tim ber and perhaps causing the death of many people. The d-y grass should be cut and burned under the watchful eye of some responsible person who would be able to keep the blaze under con trol and possibly save his property from Injury by fire through some other person's carelessness.
