The president has vetoed the
W alter-Logan bill as he said he
would. This bill would have sub
jected the rulings of adm inistrative
departm ents to court review.
This means th a t the NRLB and
other boards can continue to make
law by m aking rulings th a t can
not be changed except by them
selves.
‘T oday in

American ideals of justice,” said
the president, “an ounce of action
is worth more than a pound of
aipum ent.” There is in this s ta te
ment no intim ation of doubt but
♦ that the rulings of the numerous
boards will be of the sort to sus

IN TH E CfRCUlT COURT OF i T l E S T ’ATE OF OREGON FOR T H E COUNT If OF ¿H i L r MAN
On the “m ust list for reading
this w inter for residents, of
Sherman county will be ’’The
Tiail of the Plow” by Marie Mil
ler' Goffin, known b e tte r to local
residents as Mrs. Doc Goffin. Un
til 1912 she was doctor’s wife and
doctor in h e r own rig h t for the
central part of Sherman county.
The book, published this month
h” Birfords & Mort of Portland,,
is r novel. It is called an histori
cal novel, a classification to which
it canz barely qualify.
It recounts the troubles of the
homesteaders who came to this
county w ith the agents of the
• Braver Land company which wdl
tx recognized as the Eastern Ore
gon la n d company, and with the
- .cattlem en who tried to retain the
land for themselves.
• Some of the descriptions are very
good and the author reveals a lik
ing for thia country th a t has been
retained over the nearly_30 years
since her departure. H er plot is
satisfactory although many of the
homesteaders actually had a much
harder time than the books’ hero,
Frank Durand. Characterization
is inclined to be weak.
Readers will not find any known
characters Of early days in Sher-
man county in the book. Mrs.
Goffin has evaded th a t aourc< of
trouble.
Frank Durand becomes
homesteader, leader of the move
ment ag ain st the land company,
lawyer and congressm an and m ar
ries the girl he wants while beset
by the land company agent and a
jealous cattlem an.
The scene of the book is very
definitely in Sherm ancounty and
W rangle, the town in the book,
is- certainly Moro. Several scenes
are places in 'Hie Dalles.
The book is readable and wrill be
found interesting, e sp e c ia lly to
those who rem ember or have an
interest in early day history.
