The story tells of the wealthy John
Rich and his daughter, Maibelle,
who are searching for his boyhood
friend, Steele black. Maibelle be
lieves that her father's friend had
stolen an old heirloom of the fam
ily's, a mirror. Dennis Black, re
turning home from college, over
hears Maibelle discussing this with
her father on the train. He is so
alarmed that he changes his name
and persuades his sister, Maisie, to
follow suit so that he can learn
more about Maibell's search for his
father.
Meanwhile, a terrific storm wash
es out the railroad bridge, forcing
everyone to take refuge at a sum
mer hotel that is having its formal
opening that evening. Maisie Black,
who is running away from home to
attend summer school with one hun
dred dollars that her grandmother
gave her for being good, finds her
brother at the hotel and falls in
with his scheme. Their efforts to
get to , the bottom of the trouble
lead to many complications, espe
cially when Steele Black arrives on
the scene and discloses his child
ren's real identities.
After many foolish escapades and
"bad situations" Steele forgives his
daughter; Maibelle forgives Dennis;
everyone is in good spirits, and the
last act closes with a happy ending.

the seal sale in the county for local
needs such as paying a part of the
nurse's salary, providing baby clin
ics, tuberculosis tests, diphtheria
innoculations, smallpox vaccinations

Census Set-Up
Adequate Reserve
New Tax Subjects
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem, Ore. Oregon Democrats
are anything but happy over the
census set-up in this state. From
Byron Carney, the area supervisor,
down to the humblest enumerator,
it is being charged by "organization"
Democrats the. jobs have all gone to
followers of the Commonwealth
Federation.
In fact the "regular" Democrats,
those who have stood by the party
through the long lean years, appear
to have been pretty well ignored in
the distribution of patronage for the
big nose-counting job that will soon
be under way. As a matter of fact
report has it that James Eckersley
of Oswego who was slated for the
post of supervisor of the Salem dis-

tict resigned not because of "press
of private business" but because he
did not like the "pink" complexion
of his associates in the census or
ganization. Many of those favored with a seat
at the census table, it is charged by
the regular or organization Demo
crats, are not Democrats at all but
mere opportunists who have clam
bered aboard the band wagon since
the party came into power and po
sition to hand out favors with pay
checks attached.
So incensed are some of the "reg
ular" Democrats at the slight ad
ministered the party organization in
this state in handing out the cen
sus jobs that it is understood there
is a well defined plot under way to
enlist the faithful in a sit-down
strike in which the enumerators will
find the door slammed, in their face
when they approach the homes of
the plotters in search of census
information.
Some time during the next week
or ten days the Oregon Unemploy
ment Compensation commission will
designate what its members regard
as an "adequate reserve" to protect
the solvency of the jobless insurance
fund. In arriving at this decision
the commission will have to iudee
between the widely separated views
of employers who contribute toward
this fund and the workers who rely
upon the fund to carry them through
periods of temporary unemployment.
Employers appearing before the
commission at two public hearings
during the last month have express
ed themselves as favoring a reserve
of from $3,500,000 to $7,500,000. Wor
kers, on the other hand, insist that
the reserve to be adequate must be
at least twice, and preferably three
times, as great as the largest annual
benefit payments. Inasmuch as pay
ments during 1938 totalled approxi
mately $6,000,000 this would mean a
reserve fund of from $12,000,000 to
$18,000,000. Employers, taxed on
their payrolls to make up this fund
object to this higher figure on the
ground that so much Oregon cap.

way department to incorporate a
j newly discovered petrrified forest
in Harney county into a state park.
The area contains aproximately 8fr
acres. - -
There will be only one new face
at the council table when the state
forestry board meets here sometime
the latter part of this month to elect
a new state forester.
In announcing appointment of the
new board members to fill the va
cancies occurring by reason of the
expiration of all of the old appoint
ments on December 7 Governor
Sprague returned six of the seven
appointive members to the board.
Only Matt C. Glover of Eagle Creek,
representative of the State Grange,
was omitted. In his place the gov
ernor named Fred A. Goff of Rose
burg. Glover's omission, it is un
derstood, was at the instance of the
Grange leadership rather than any
desire on the part of the governor
to sidetrack him. Glover, so the ru
mor goes, has incurred the displea
sure of Messrs. Gill, Tompkins, et
al, of the Grange leadership, and
when the Grange submitted its list
of acceptable representatives on the
forestry board his name was not in
cluded. Speculation still continues around
the capital as to Ferguson's possible
successor as head of the forestry
department with no one apparently
having the slightest clue as to who
the board's committee might be con
sidering for this important post.
