THURSDAY, AUGUST 14
From the Top of a Steep Trail
' From a point on tho McKcnzie highway, near the
summit on the Lane county' side, there starts tin over
grown trail. One uninitiated could hardly hope to find
its starting point near the roadside, but Forest Super
visor Macduff knowB where it begins.
Tho trail lends up a mountainside bo stoop that in
some places it is almost perpendicular. It ia an old
trail and has been seldom used in recent years. As a re
sult of this fact it is obstructed, by overhanging and
protruding branches and limbs of young trees growing
along it. ..The footing is firm but progress is impeded
by these obstructions. The trail zigzags like a railroad
switchback. i.
lie who perseveres in its ascent will reap a rich re
ward. A view is sprond out from this trail's top of sur
passing glory. Away to tho loft stand in their silent
' majesty and all in full view tho Threo Sisters. Little
' snow is on them now,' except in tho sunken places and
on the glaciers. But the absence pf the usual snows
causes tho barren ruggodness of the peaks themselves
to. become accentuntod, and gives tho beholder an added
appreciation of their wonder. A deep scallop marked
by new-growth trees marks quito plainly tho boundaries
of a crater extinct sinco the far centuries bnck beyond
the time of recordod history. High np tho side of tho
middle Sister loom in view the obsidian cliffs. To tho
south is Little Brother and away to the north tho Hus
band, an insignificant looking enough peak to carry the
conventional relationship that a more father usually
boars to three such mngnificent daughters.
Slightly to tho right and almost in front of tho North
Sister from this vantage point there tumble into view
Linton creek falls. Half way up tho mountainsido the
falls first aDnear. a long plunging stretch of white water.
Lower down they disappear, only to appear, disappear
and appear for tho third time, finally pinging their
flood into Linton lako. The northern and western half
of this lako is in view. Its waters are light light gray,
colored by silt from tho glaciers. Its lower end is dam-
mod by tho lava How wJiicn can do tracea wun mo eve
bnck along tno lower ronencs 01 ine mountains 10 uiu
old crater which spouted it tortn m tne ages gone.
Awnv to tho rirht is a mngnificont stretch of un
broken green fir timber, unmarred by fire and unscarred
by tho axe. At ono's feet tho highway, forming a com
plete horseshoe and then strotching for a visiblo distance
of ten miloB or more either way. Automobiles come and
go. But for tho sight of them ono might think himself
transported to a virgin wonderland. .
There nro many bonntiful scenes in tho McKonzie
country. But, ono who has climbed Mnoduff 'b zigzag
trail and contemplated this particular view doubts that
thero exists its equal.

Who It to Pay7
(Hillsboro Independent)
Washington county people who are
joining La Fouette dubs might pause
long enough to consider what would
follow If the senator's Ideas about
government ownership of railroads
prevailed. Hadroads at present pay
a considerable proportion of Wash
ington county taxes. L'nder govern-
in eat ownership they would pay no
taxes. The situation which followed
when the railroad land grant in Ore
gon reverted to the government would
be duplicated, only greatlv multiplied.
The railroad natd taxes on the land.
When the government took it back
tax payments ceased, lost as they will
cease when the government owns the
railroads. Somebody, however, must
pay, and are Washington county farm
ers who lean to the La Follctte plat
form anxious to have' the tax now
psid by the railroads added to their
annual tax bills?

Candidates' Speeches.
Ono learns by rending the Democratic partisan news
tinners that tho acceptance speech of John W. Davis car
tied compelling truth in every lino and that adoption
of its preachments through election of Mr. Davis as
president will mean oomploto. nbulomont of every ovil
to which the country Is heir and tho dawn of tho millen
ium. And by reading the Republican partisan news
papers one learns that this same speech was without
redeeming feature ns to content or construction and that
it holds out to tho country nothing whatever or promise.
Between these two rathor ridioulouB extremes, of course,
the troth reffsrding tho Davis speooh really lioa.

ance Mid then tho two branches of tho pnrtisan press will

the Affirmative. What the newspapers on each side will
say xb as wen Known now as it win no aiier 11 is said.
The choice of words in eaoh enso is tho only detail lack
ing. But by tho republican partisnn press the Coolidge
speech stands indorsed in advanco in full and in detail:
by the democratic partisan pross it. is totally oondemned
before roaa.
As for the Guard, It is not n pnrtisan newspaper.
As an independent newspaper it has published in full
tho acceptance speech of Mr. Davis. It will pulilih in
full the Bamo way tho aeoeptanco speech of Mr. Coolidge,
and that of Mr. La Folletto if he makes one. Latr it
will have comments to make concerning them all. But
the basis of tlioso comments will bo tho merit or lack of
it in the various measures advocated by cneJi of the
candidates. They will not be based upon partiwan party
bius. .

THE WEDDING
1 Chapter 40
Leah found Peters' caresses a much
needed comfort and support. They'
were standing together at one end of
the long reception room and the or
cbeatra was playing ever so softly.
The musician's had muted their vio
lins and the plaintive thrumming of
the harp rose sweetly above the
dreamy motif of the wedding march.
Leah wondered if Peter could hear
the riotous beating of her heart.
Down the wide stairway at the
further end of the hall, she could
see Rosalind moving slowly Her
long white tatin train reached out
yards behind her. As she came to the
bottom step two little flaxen haired
boys caught tho very ends of it and
followed slowly, spreading the wide
train out behind the bride like a pea
cock's toji. '
Leah pressed nearer to Peter and
her knee touched him. She was so
thankful for Peter just then. She
wished he would put his arm around
her. She moved a little, aa if ahe
were trying to get a better view of
the bride over the shoulder of some
one who stood in front of tMem, and
the move brought her closer to 'Peter.
Soon she beard the resonant voice
of the minister aa he repeated the
words of the marriage ceremony. She
bad a' strange feeling. She did not
aeem to be herself at all. It waa
as If she were some stranger, looking
down at herself and wondering why
it waa that she did not cry or faint.
She was thankful the tears did not
come. .
She found herself looking down at
the floor in front of them, and ba
consciously she knew that she was
looking at Peter'a feet, and sort o
saying to herself over snd over, "I'm
glad they're big I'm so glad they're
big."
In the next instant but it seemed
an eternity to Leah the crowd was
laughing and talking and pushing for
ward to congratulate the bride a1
groom. Leah felt Peter's arm hold
ing tightly to hers, and they were
forced forward by the gay throng.
The next ten minutes taxed every
ounce of Leah's self control to :
uttermost. But Leah's heart was
brave and her spirit was made of the
kind of stuff which makes heroes of
us. She rushed to Rosalind'a p1
