No trnce had been found early today of the lone masked bandit who early last night staged one of the boldest train robberies in the history of the train service. After throwing twenty-flvo passengers of tho day coach of the Missouri Pacific passenger train number 107 into pirtiio tho man escaped with less than $100 of their money in an exchange of shots with a ruilroad detective who was a pas senger on the train. The man was dressed in blue denim and was masked with a white handkerchief. He appeared to be between forty and fifty years old. It Is believed he boarded the train at an outlying station. As the train was approaching the railroad yards the man encountered the negro porter in the vestibule in the day coach and brandishing two revolvers, forced tho porter to accom pany him Into tho car. The passen gers were commanded to line up in the aisle with theis hands in the air while the negro searched thein. With one gun pointed at tho pas sengers and the other directed at (ho porter, the bandit cooly directed the uctivfties. "Don't take their tickets or jewelry, just4?et the money," ho commanded of the porter. After the last passenger had been relieved of his money the man pulled the bi'U cord and ulighted from tho tin In as it came to a halt. It was at this point that he wns encountered by the detective who had watched the maneuvers from unother coach, but hesitated to fire, fearing he might hit one of the passengers. The detective called on 111 in to halt but tho command was unheeded. Tho detective, who was armed with two guns fired both of them nt the ban dit. The man returned the fire as he escaped under cover of darkness. SECY.

Extending the American govern ment's welcome to the a sue m bled delegates. Secretary Kellogg declared in an address at tho opening session today of ftio inter-parliamentnry union that the presence in tho American capital of so many repre sentatives of uelf -governing nations "ahows that In this remarkable nge the attention of the world In centered upon the problems of self govern ment. "Nothing can bo more stimulating to the announcement of liberal Ideal or will contribute more certainly to peace," Mr. Kellogg said, than for members of varloim parliaments nnd legislatures to meet ns you are doing to exchange views on your respective problems." The secretary reminded tho dele gates that they represented countries with v n r y 1 n g economic conditions races with widely different political histories and traditions. "Universal, peace has been tho d renin of statesmen for ages,' ho said, "but no one has found a spe cific. A euro must come from the hearts and undemanding of the people. They must be taught to think in terms of peace; they must realize that there are better means of adjusting international disputes than the nrbitratment of war." Mr. Kellogg said forces were at work for the disintegration of orderly representative government and for the establishment of class rule, "which may give us serious thought."

OF OREGON SAYS STATE GAME HEAD PORTLAND, Oct. 1. The rivers of Oregon belong to the people as a whole for public use and benefit. They are highways tho same as tree bordered county or state roads. Our streams are for bathing, boating and other forms of recreation. These watorways are the homes of different species of trout and salmon, which ar important food products. The rivers of Oregon are, therefore, among the most valuable resources of the state. It is the plain duty of every citizen to protect his interests so that ho may share in the benefits. With the building of mills, factories, manufacturing plants and the growth of towns nnd cities along our water ways, some Oregon streams are facing ruin and otiiers are threatened. The wastes of industries and the com bined filth of municipal corporations are dumped Into public waters to such an extent that some streams aro like open sowers, spreading disease to people and destroying fish lite. It is time to call a halt. A private or municipal corporation that dumps tilth into a flowing stream transfers corruption to people lower down. It Is like a man who dumps his dirt over the back fence Into the yard of his neighbor. The practice Is : wrong both legally and morally. The people or. Kstacada pollute the Clack amas river, one of the most beautiful streams of the state, by dumping In their sewage, while lower down the people of Gladstone use the water of this same river for drinking purposes. The common practice of polluting our public waters if not corrected will jin time destroy trout, salmon and (other food fishes, the very misfortune 'that has fallen to many of the rivers ' of the Atlantic coast Water to a fish is what air is to a person. Fish aro subject to disease as people are. They cannot live In filth. A river can digest a certain amount of sewage, but If the stench is fed a stream year after year in increased quantities, the river over taxed breaks down and the water Is .poisoned for trout and salmon. What Is to be done? It is the duty of a manufacturing plant to take care of Its waste products. A sawmill is nlways summoned into court for dumping sawdust In a river. Why is a pulp or woolen mill allowed . to wash its acids, dyes and other waste into mil.1l. uBln,D4 T l t.n ,1... n !. (officers of a municipal corporation to tuke some steps toward relieving our rivers from their lond of filth. Eond, riedmond. Pendleton, Ashland and other cities have faced the problem and dlsKsed of their sewage In a hygienic way. The commissioners of the city of Portland have recently taken the first steps to correct the abuse of the Willamette river which has grown lip through many years. and they have the blggeBt problem In (Oregon. When will other cities along the Willamette like Oregon City, Salem, Albany, Corvallls and Eugene cease polluting public waters? A start must be made Booner or later. Why not now? The general laws of Oregon for 1921, section 70, chapter 153, clearly provide that it is an offense against the state for any person or corpora tion to corrupt or impulr the quality of public 'waters so they cannot bo used for domestic or municipal pur poses.
