Encouraging Developments.
The fact that the war department
announced yesterday allotment of
$77,000 for examnation and surveys
of proposed improvements on the
Snake river in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, Is another encouraging
factor In the hope for further devel­
opment on the Columbia and into
the Snake river.
Included in the survey will be a
study of the natural resources of the
area, to determine the probable in­
crease in river traffic that would
result from improvement.
This
makes the development of the Co­
lumbia at Umatilla rapids look more
probable, because the rapids at
Umatilla is the stopper to river nav­
igation above Umatilla and Into the
Snake river.
Now Is no time to cease writing
•letters to our senators and represen­
tatives. but it is a time to renew en­
thusiastic work for further river
improvement.
Once More—Arbitrate
When the Oregonian runs an edi­
torial on the front page the circum­
stances surrounding such a com­
ment Is serious enough to be danger­
ous. We read the editorial under
the above heading In this morning's
paper which echoes the sentiment of
people In the Interior, all of whom
are affected by the longshoreman's
strike.
(Editorial)
"Somewhere between the conten­
tions of the waterfront strikers and
those of the employers there must
be a middle ground of equity and
justice.
"Some way it ought to be possible
to arrive at an agreement and set­
tlement on that ground with fair-
ness to all. The obvious method, the
right method and the peaceable
method is that of arbitration.
But Instead of arbitration we have
the spectacle of force met by force,
with more and more force looming
very near. The contending forces re­
fuse or fall to get together on a
basis for arbitration, while men are
sent to face Injury and death in
clashes that could be averted.
The public Is greater and more
numerous than waterfront enmploy-
era or waterfront strikers. The pub­
lic wants this strife ended. It wants
this strike settled. It wants order
restored and it wants an end to vio­
lence. For the most part the public
does not understand the issues be­
tween employer and employs. For
its own part, this newspaper wants
waterfront workers to have fair
wages and fair hiring conditions.
From the first it has sympathized
with the strikers’ demands on these
points. It wants these things ar­
ranged on a basis that will be fair
to employers. But above all, it
wants, and the public wants this
strike settled without further viol­
ence.
The way to that, now as from the
beginning. Is through arbitration
And to adopt that method is more
necessary now than ever, since
without It the crisis Is at hand. The
employers have Just agreed—and
for the first time—to arbitrate every
Issue without exception. Will not
the strikers, for the sake of them-
selves and their families; for the
sake of the public peace and wel­
fare. and for the sake of thousands
wholly disassociated from the strike
hut who are being made to suffer by
it in increasing numbers, agree also
to throw every issue into arbitra­
tion?
The alternate road, we say again,
eads to chaos for all.

The Golden Text was, "The

life unto the world" (John 6:33).
Among the citations which com­

Health with Key to the Scrip­

"Christians, are you drinking his
cup? . . . Are all who eat bread
and drink wine in memory of Je-
sus willing truly to drink his cup,
take his cross, and leave all for
the Christ-principle? ... If all
who ever partook of the sacra­
ment had really commemorated
the sufferings of Jesus and drunk
of his cup, they would have revo­
lutionized the world” (pp. 33,34).

ORIGIN OF TERM “COCKTAIL”
GROUP of prominent liquor
Clone to the tavern an English­
men were gathered together man possessed a snug little country
A during
the cocktail hour In one of
estate. He was well known as an
New York’s leading hotels the
otber afternoon. A reporter asked
If any one there could tell him the
origin of the term “cocktail.”
Mr. Horace V. Myers, known the
world aver as the “Jamaica Rum
King", (head of the house of Fred
L. Myers A Son, Kingston. Jamaica,
distributors of the well-known
“Planters' Punch“ and other
brands), called attention to the
fact that the answer to this ques­
tion had recently appeared in an
English magazine. He told the
story as follows:
During the American War of In-
dependence the tavern of a certain
American cavalry troop was run by
a young widow popularly known as
Betsy Flanagan.
In 1779 she accompanied her
troop to more substantial winter
quarters at Four Corners, close to
New York. Hore she opened up an
extremely efficient tavern that
soon became the favorite haunt
of the American and French of
leers. Ite fame for cleanliness
and comfort soon spread through
all the armies, and all who sought
refuge there apeat many a pleasant
hour at cards and drinking of the
wonderful sparkling liquor con-
eoe tod by Mr. Betsy Flanagan
The officers lost no time in pro-
claiming the marvelous bracing
virtues of her mixtures tar and
wide. la tact, the drinks soon be­
came known aa Betsy's “bracers."
It was of course only natural that
eager Inquiries for the recipe of the
sparkling bracers should become
persistent. But Betsy Flanagan
was a woman
secret.
who
could keep
a
out-and-out Loyalist, an inveterate
enemy of the Independence move­
ment. It was a regular custom of
Betsy's, whenever the atmosphere
of the tavern was overflowing with
the spirit of cheerfulness, boast­
fully to promise her uniformed
guests a delicious but stolen dish
of roast fowl, prepared from ths
flnest roosters of the English gen­
tleman’s celebrated poultry coop.
The officers would, of conree, con­
tinue to remind Betsy of her voci
ferons promise every time they
met
So one evening Betsy Invited
them to a dinner of roasted fowl.
Sho decorated each bottle and jar
in the tavern with the beautiful tall
feathers of the roasted roosters to
celebrate her daring victory. Thus
it happened that a certain guest at
that dinner, craving for a drop of
bracer, called tor “a glass of those
cocktails.“
"Wo are drinking the beverage
that offers the palate the same
charming sensation as the cock’s
tail feathers offer the eye." cried
another officer, whereupon one of
the French officers retorted, "Long
live the cocktail."
This is how the home-made con­
coction was christened with a new
name. Who ever dreamt that it
would spread to the four corners
of the earth? The name is just as
popular In Germany as in all the
English-speaking countries.
The rum which Washington ob­
tained by trading tn a recalcitrant
slave and the rum which Betsy
Flanagan used for a famous party
doubtless earns from the same
source from which the famous
Myer Jamaica Rum comes today.
