SUuu'ieM as United States senator from Oregon says: "Bob" Stanfield really is a re markable man. Except subjects with which he has had little practical everyday contact, he has an extraor dinarily powerful intellect. There is no danger of his becoming a statesman so absorbed in vast questions of na tional and international policy that he will forget his native state. He will make few speeches, if for no other reason that when he gets into the sen ate he will find that his speeches fall flat. But before he has been there many sessions, he will be on the inside of many private confer ences, where the fate of the great mass of legislation is determined. And in those private conferences, he will prove to be the equal of any of them when it comes to trading.! And the tradinc "Bob" will do will be j way on what he was interested in, and became the natural leader of his house. During the two reasons he served as member, he hardly made a speech. Then when he became speak er, he made very few. but while he 1.50 : had to post up from the chief clerk on ,75 ! parliamentary points, he didn't pet -; :t!nnv wires mixed on what really Was poinrr on, He knew what bills were in the pockets of committee chairmen and knew how to keep them there un- jtil he Rave the word to call' them forth. And of course he knew how to trade. "Now this is not the picture of what ordinarily is regarded as a frock-coated, high-brow statesman. But it is an attempt to give a line on the notable abilities and remarkable character of an extraordinarily ef fective young man he is only 42 or 43 years old who has been given "the highest honor within the power of the people of Oregon to bestow. The people have made no mistake, traordinary degree, both for nation and state, and he will not forget his state while he is remembering his country." local authorities have put up neve temporary structure . containing four to eight rooms, each room hous ing a whole family of eight or ten, sleeping, eating and washing 'e dune in the same room.

He has a personality, a 1 in grade and course should arise from charmingly winning personality, ex cept when he arses to address an audience. 'He can swim in the wa ter but not in the air. It will not be long before he is rated by the big men of the senate, and most of the the primitive methods of construction under which the road was built. For the purpose of remedying such condi tions, the forest service this summer sent out a party of five men, under the guidance of T. P. Flinn, surveyor senators, are men of some considera-! of the service, to make a preliminary ble caliber. He will be rated very, 1 survey of the entire road course.

But it will show up in what I cated, being about 100 feet lower than Orpp-on cret rather than in eloauence ! the old route. It is planned to begin spread over the pages of the gressional Kecord. "Bob" will go into the senate a man of independent means. He' has lost several millions through the slump in the sheep and wool industry, but when he has cleaned up, he will have a million or two left. It prob ably will take some time for him to cean up. Hs paper is scattered all the way from Boston, New York and Chicago to the little banks of the far interior of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon , and Washington. He has had to take back flock after flock of sheep that he had out on shares and that was given up by the little own er who was unable to finance him self when Stanfield could, put up no more ready cash to keep him going. He is loaded with wool and sheep to . the tune of millions, and nobody wants his wool, sheep or paper. His operations are estimated by financial authorities who ought to know as running into possibly five or even ten millions or more. No wonder he is hard un the hardest-up man m i the hard-up and near broke sheep industry, for the reason that he is the biggest operator. But when all is, said and done, he will be found to have traded himself into a net es tate of considerable size. He is rid of the campaign, and will have little to do for six months or possibly a year (if no special session is called after March 4) except trade. And he knows how to trade. All through the years he has been winning such amazing success as a sheep man, only to be caught in the Worst slump that ever hit the indus try, he kept most of his books and most of his deals in his head. He never could discipline himself into , business system, which is a defect in his makeup, but anyone who knew about- what he was carrying in his head knew it took a heavy capacity to carry it. In his three terms in the Oregon legislature, he likewise carried everything that went on in his head. He didn't have to refer to files of bills, or refresh his memory by looking up procedure as to what had been done by committees or members or on the floor. He was shrewdly and quickly observant, knew what was going on, had the s faculty of penetrating into hidden motives, knew what to say in a very few words to cret the right man at .i i Con- j next summer tne new grading wortc and the clearance of about . twelve miles of road that is entirely impass able by machine. With the construction of this high way, a vastly important opening into Central Oregon will be made. It will be as scenic as the Columbia high way, according to the foest service. As to the scenic attractions, the roaa passes through timber and mountains that will give the traveler all ' that could be desired. The road should be also a popular route for sportsman, numerous lakes, well stocked with trout and bass, being abundant in the mountain regions through which the highway passes. BE HAPPY NOT TO LIVE IN SALONIKA Salonika Americans who think they are suffering from bad housing and living conditions and high rents should get a glimpse of the congest ed p.nd benighted Oriental city with its narrow streets, cobbled pave ments, tumble down building's, cellar like homes and other concomitants of poverty. There are only enough houses to shelter one-half the popu lation of 175,000. The rest of the people live in tents, in huts, in the fields, or among the charred ruins of their former homes which were desolated by a ' great fire that level ed the city to ashes in August, 1917. Only the wealthiest can afford any thing like a fully furnished house. Whole flats or apartments are un known; a family must be content with a single room. Rents have in creased greatly and have no such le gal protection again'st landlords as those enjoyed by New York resi dents. So great is the need for space that the municipality has turned over a number of Turkish mosques in which to shelter the people. In one of these ancient shrines COO people live as one great family. They sleep on the stone floor and live a primitive community life. Salonika is strikingly like the de vastated areas of northern France. Everywhere are ruined homes tangled wreckage, and piles of dirt and debris. The government has done little toward restoring the city since the great fire which left 75,000 persons homeless and entailed $50,- The ladies will serve a light luncheon at 5:30 so yoft can plan to stay for the evening services.
