OFFICIAL TAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY WE WILL BE CRASSHOrrERS By Richard Lloyd Jones Did you ever hear of Doolittle? If some fellow had told your grandfather hen he s t boy that in the time of his grandchildren a man would take dinner one evening on the cool summer veranda ovtiooking the broad Atlantic and t ten o'clock bid his friends good night saying. i m aimng witn menus on ine racinc v-oasi to morrow evening. 1 must be on my way," your grandfather would have looked upon the predictor as either a laughable romancer or a pitiable fool. Well Doolittle did it. And not many people noticed it. The whole world accepted it as a little news item of passing interest. Few even noted the item and most of those who did as quickly for got it. Lieutenant James H. Doolittle. U. S. Army avia tor, hopped off in his aeroplane from the broad At lantic at PaHo Beach at three minutes past ten o'clock Labor Day. At '5 :34 the next afternoon (Pacific time), he stepped out of his sky-boat at San Diego, Calif., on the Pacific. Doolittle stopped an hour and seven minutes at San Antonio, Texas, to take breakfast with his wife and mother. In actual flying time, he flew from sea to sea in twenty-one hours and eighteen min utes. What would grandfather, as a boy, have thought of that? Nothing more than a passing news item of the hour now. We have grown accustomed to startling events. Some day some fellow will rise up into the heav ens and sail all the way around the world. And when that day comes, even that will not amaze us. We once thought it a wonderful thing to talk by wire across town. Now we talk by wireless across the continent. We once thought it was a great thing to go from New York to Buffalo in one day. Now we go from sea to sea in one day. You have seen in your school histories pictures of the little Columbus fleet, the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, compared to the modern ocean liner, nearly one-fifh of a mile long, accomodating thousands of passengers in the luxury of palatian grandeur. You have seen pictures of the little kettle-like locomotive, the De Witt Clinon, which was tHe mar vel of 1831 because it acquired the amazing speed of 15 miles an hour. You have seen the modern engine which pulls a palatial Pullman faster than a mile a minute. Wonderful changes, aren't they? Well The little air ship that Doolittle lifted above the storm clouds and sailed by compass was but the Santa Maria sailing an uncharted sky. A sky where great ships will follow. It was the De Witt Clinton piloting the path for the up-in-the-air passenger coach that our children will some day use to meet a business engagement or to greet a friend at din ner a few thousand miles away. All over the skies new lines of passenger ships will fly. As Doolittle hopped from sea to sea, we will hop from shore to shore. Soon Asia is but a day away. We take breakfast in Buenos Ayres tomorrow. 1923 FAIR TAX A trip around the world has convinced Julius L. Meier that Portland can spend its spare cash to bet ter advantage than holding the 1925 fair. There were others who did not have to travel so far. It is a matter of congratulation that Mr. Meier toured. What he has seen will make him a better citizen of Portland, a more tolerant citizen. He is brilliantly able, and can do much for his native city aside from all he is doing for it by building up a great business to even greater proportions. He has the sound idea that Portland should spend its energy in coloniza tion effort a worth while effort in which the bus iness community should join. He also discovers that the Frank Branch Riley lectures, in conjunc tion with our new highway system, are productive of heavy returns from wealthy people who tour. To get behind the colonization effort and to sustain adequately the Riley lectures will be worth far more to Oregon and Portland than the 1925 fair. Let's join with Mr. Meier in these enterprises, and for get about the fair nightmare. That is if George Baker will let us forget. "Damn the torpedoes," says George, imagining that we are at war with something or somebody. "Damn the taxpayers" would better reflect his habit of mind. But we are not at war, George; not yet, although there is no telling but what we will be involved in this Turkish mess long before 1925. So as yet there is no occasion for "damning" either torpedoes or taxpayers. We may need them both. And George encourages us to expect and hope that with election day he is through, so far as the 1925 fair is con cerned. Let's forget the fair and get down to real business. Oregon Voter. wagon and the like. The answer, of course, is that if all milk wagon drivers were college men milk would be delivered more orderly and even our ba byhood would be helped. The greatness of the college does not lie in its being the gangway down which one may walk to the pivressians. its wonn is in giving to the country men who can thorouehlv perform the dutv of the hour. The college is not the panacea for empty skulls. The best it can do is to equip the man who has something under his hat. Fire Prevention Week is October 2 to 9. Life and properly can be saved by prevention of fires. Statistics show thai in 1921 fire cost more than 15, 000 lives and $485,000,000 in property. Clean your premises, remove rubbish, correct your fire hazards and cultivate carefulness. Most fires are preventable. OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN American colleges prepared for the greatest year in their history. In almost every state of the union the enrollment figures show marked advances and records broken. Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union, Pennsylvania, Vassar and Dartmouth reached the pinnacle of their prosperity. It is also true of many western collepi'S. Fact is that this prosperity for colleges is due largely to the change in the viewpoint of our educa tional institutions. Many cobwebs have been swept way. Today the college means more than the accepted understanding of academic teaching. It means a bro3er vision of life and a greater understanding of the necessity of the thing worth while. The college man of today is to be found every where, lie is at the head of a great banking insti tution, he is a chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon, he tills the soil, he appears in literature and ornaments the plumbing establishment. - Sometimes the unthinking criticize the college because its graduates may be found driving milk A trip down the Walla Walla river to Wallula and then UD the Columhia tn Pa-n rho nacr urlr n. vealud to us what wonders can be accomplished by irricaticn.

THE POINT OF VIEW Pessimists find cause for gloom in the present status of the rail strike, the coal strike, the tariff national problems which affect Oregon directly or indirectly. But an analysis of the pessimist's gloom reveals the dark clouds mostly in the future bug aboos that are terrifying only in anticipation. It is true that the rail srike is being felt in car shortages and curtailed service, but as a matter of fact it is still far from a national calamity. Some lines of production have been hard hit, notably pro ducers of perishable fruit, but the pinch is localized at most. It is equally true that the coal srike is being felt in some industrial lines, particularly in the east, but there are still enormous stocks of coal on hand. Every day, furthermore, brings the end of the coal strike nearer, either through the force of public op inion or through direct federal intervention. And as for the prospect of a highly-protective tariff, it is a debatable matter as to whether or not this constitutes reasonable grounds for alarm and probably will continue to be debatable as long as party lines exist in the political world. By contrast with the pessimist, the opimist forms his pnclusions only from the acutal facts of the present. He looks to the future but refuses to worry about it. Here in Oregon the optimist finds much to his liking. In the lumber production field he finds that eighty to ninety per cent of the mills are busy; new facilities are being added to existing plants in Bend and Toledo; new mills are being built throughout the state, notably in Columbia County at Vernonia ; enormous tracts of virgin timber are being exploit ed, for example, government-owned timber in Har ney and Grant counties and enormous bodies of spruce and fir in Lincoln and Clatsop counties. As an index to general prosperity the optimist finds building operations throughout the state in creasing rather than diminishing. Railroads are planning and carrying out extensive development work; new factories are being built and present plants are being enlarged; the housebuilding pro gram is going forward with increased vigor in all population centers of the state. The optimist could add to the list indefinitely quoting specific facts that cannot be disputed. 'Op posed to these facts, the pessimist is forced to deal in vague generalities. From a molehill of fact he builds a mountain of gloom. It all depends upon the point of view; granting this, we prefer the optimist. Oregon Journal of Commerce.

ALAS THE ANGLE WORM And now we have a device by which the angle worm is hunted in his lair, brought to the surface to be devoured for the sustenance of the great Ameri can hen. Peter J. O'Keefe, of Greenwich, Connec ticut, is the inventor. . The device is an electrical one : literally shocks the worms out of the ground. It consists of two brass rods that are pushed into the earth several feet apart. A wire is attached to each rod and each wire connects with an ordinary telephone magneto. By twisting the handle of the magneto the angle worm feels it is time to take the air. Rapidly he moves to escape, but, alas! the chicken is waiting, and as soon as the worm imagines he is safe from danger his troubles come to an end. Thus does the world move on. If the mentality of the angle-worm were properly developed, he would sense the greater danger of leaving his nat ural environment. As time goes on and the standard of angle worm intelligence advances, things may improve for him; but in the meantime, he will have to look for tempo rary protection to the: American Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Angleworms, an organization which undoubtedly will come into being as soon as the cruelty oT the O'Keefe device is conceived. Surely such an opportunity for a new protective and paternalistic society cannot be missed. The Pendleton Round-Up was as usual the big drawing card of all similar events of the season, and Saturday a crowd estimated at 35,000 filled the big grand stand and bleachers to capacity. The show was, if possible, better than former years, and the vast crowds had little or no complaint tq make regarding the treament accorded them by the Pen-dletonians. The rain came just at the right time and the dust is well settled. This should mean that the little old town will be filled to overflowing for the events of the last three days of this week.
