Portland, a I Mill Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. Kidnaping reigns as tho leading crime.

(Oakland Tvlbune) AWeek - PATRICK'S CREEK, enroute to Medford from Corvallis, via Waldport and Marshfield, July 16: Halted here by the heat, after two days on the coast, starting with a cold fog and followed by a colder north wind, striking inland, from Smith River, waa like going from a cold storage plant, into a Turkish bath. Such a shock demanda time for adjustment. The phono connections with Med ford here are via Crescent City and very bad. But finally after spending an hour In a torrid phone oootb, had the message repeated and heard the news of the Sheriff Schermerhorn verdict. THE JURY DID ITS DUTY an unpleasant duty, but one that had to be performed. No one gets any joy out of these things. But no one geta Joy out of major operations. Nevertheless they have to be per-' formed at times, and once started they must be completed, If the pa tient's lite la to be saved. A malig nant cancerous growth waa Implant ed in the body pontic ot Jackson county. A large portion has , been removed. In a short time now the operation will be completed. Then the wounds Incurred will be quickly healed,' the suffering forgotten, aa health returns, and Old Man Jackson County, like King Richard, wlU be himself again. Never again will he allow a disease to run ao long. At the first symptom awlft and decisive action will be taken, Instead of wait ing until the patient has been forced to take to hla bed. 'In all the world no trip like this". That la from an Illustrated tourist folder. But It la laterally true. A swing around the circle, through the Rogue, TJmpqua, Willamette valleys, to Corvallis, to attend the annual state editorial convention, then to Waldport, where the crabs and oys ters oome from, and down the new ooaat highway to tha Redwood "cut oft," feeds the eye on a acenlo pano rama, that for variety, color and charm, can't be equalled anywhere In the union. Anywhere In the world, for that matter. This circle has EVERYTHING. It baa the pastoral beauty of rural England. around Corvallis the park-like rolling wood ed beauty of the chateaux country In Prance It has wooded lofty mountains, It haa lakee gem like bodies ot translucent water, with forest of fir coming down to the water's edge It ha the sea, with rollers breaking on rugged castles ot solid rook, It hss the warmth of mid summer; It has the cool fogs and chilly winds of fail; It haa wilder ness; It haa modern and thriving cities and It has-or soon will have highways that can't be surpassed anywhere. But at the present time, because ot the late season, this year, the valleys are more beautiful than we have ever seen them. Great masses ot green from the tops of the hills, to the very edge of the highway, the dara greens of fir and pine, oedar and hemlock; the light greens of grass and grain; moss and ferns and wild flowers everywhere, deep blues and purples, gold and dark red In tact another bromide comes to life It's a picture no artist not even another Corot,, could paint. The editorial association meeting was both Interesting and entertain ing. ' Claude Ingalls, editor of the Corvallis Oanette-Tlmes, where the convention was held eurpassed him self M a genial and thoughtful hoet. Many problems were dtscussed-HUid as usual not solved, but valuable Information waa secured concerning them. The principal Item on the agenda was the New Deal, and how It will affect the newspapers Just what It anything the newspaper code, In the Industrial Reoovery act, will mean. The upshot ot It waa that no one knows. The question Is still In a state ot flux. The newspapers dont know Juat where they are going In the New Deal, but they know they are on the way. In this, we believe, they are not unique. Everyone of course wanted to know about the situation In southern Ore gon. They were told with battel results vr aro sure than was the case, when the writer made trip north, four ot five months ago, when none ot the newspaper men seemed able to understand the situ ation or particularly Inclined . to make ths effort. Saw Paul Kejty, able and temperamental editor of tli Oregonlan, who accurately ana lysed the Medfard set-up, In his paper the following morning. Also Oeorge Putnun of the Salem Capital Journal, W.io perhaps becsus of Ml long reetoenoe In Medford, aa former editor ot this paper, hsd the right slant from the start. So did Claude Ingalla ot the Corvallis Oasette Tinies, whoa clear analytical mind always cuts to essentials of a situa tion. In fact throughout the state proas a whole, It Is now pretty generally reallred the local "civil war" was the agt old conflict be- EndOff tween law and lawlessness, between truth and falsehood, between right and wrong. And aa always tbs right to date has won, and Is bound to win completely In tho end. People on the coast are feeling ocol and confident. The lumber business I better, and with the five new bridges to be built on the coast high way will be better still. The crab season Is good, and further north on the coast, the salmon fishing has been better than usual. Coming down the highway, cracked crab and smoked salmon booths are as thick as fried chicken, fruit and cold beer booths are farther Inland. In fact the Inlanders shivering beneath over coats, and teeth chattering in the fog, are not beer minded, and have a yen for ateamlng clam chowder, and coffee that la hot. These new brldgea will eliminate a unique feature along the highway the funny little ferry boats operat ed by the state highway commission.' The California tourists must be par ticularly Impressed. For In that state, terries come high, and toll bridges higher. But here In Oregon the ferry trips are free, and operate on a frequent schedule. They roll around like pumpkin seed skiffs, point first one way and then another but they alwaya get there In the end. They carry only about a dozen large cars, and often several care In line have to wait for the next boat usually 30 minutes to half an hour. The new bridges will speed up trafflo several hundred percent, but a plo turesque feature of Oregon tourist travel will be gone. The bridge at the mouth of Rogue river Is a most Impressive and beauti ful structure. Rod MacLeay's can nery and properties on the Wedder burn side are In the hands of a re ceiver but the Oold Beach cannery Is operating, and using some of the MaoLeay equipment. The cannery only operates a few hours a day how ever. The salmon run Is light and approaching the vanishing point. At least so said couple of bronzed fishermen on the wharf, pnttlng their neta out to dry In the bright sun, which followed a dap of mist and fog. Newspapermen are proverbially poor, at golf and politics In the lat ter not In work tor others, but for themselves.

Strange also Judge Bob Sawyer, of the Bend Bulletin; hasnt been governor or president of the United States. No one could more perfectly look either part. "Hand somely statuesque" Is the word. Claude Ingalls also, has ths voloe, presence, and magnetism of a great vote getter. But somehow newspaper men, In public life dont click. Hal Hoes, secretary ot state, and his for mer boss, B. a.

Dogs hsv a pound ot blood to la pounds of body weight. Msn has a pound ot blood tor each 14 or IS pounds of weight. Approximately a quart of your gallon of blood Is in your liver, and nearly an other quart In the veins of the portal system. that la the veins th&t convey blood from the esophagus, stomach. Intes tine, spleen snd pancreas to the liver. All this blood collected from the ali mentary tract enters the liver thru the portal vein and seeps thru the spaces between the cells of whlih the great gland Is composed. After the blood has seeped thru these so-called "capillaries" It Is sgaln collected Into veins and carried on by the great vein (vena cava) to the right side of the heart, which then pumps It thru the lungs. Accompanying the process of eat ing (smelling, seeing, tasting, chew ing, swallowing and digestion of food) there Is a normal engorgement or congestion of the portal system, the liver. It Is only with overeating, too hasty eating, unnatural atlmulatlon of taste or appetite with condiments and highly spiced foods that this en gorgement of the portal system be comes 'abnormal. It explains how overeating aggravates or predisposes to stuffiness of the nose and throat or the various chronlo troubles Jum bled Into the meaningless nsme of "catarrhal trouble." It explains how the same sin aggravates or predis poses to hemorrhoids. The blood In the' portal system seeps thru the liver, much as water seeps thru a sponge It you squeeze the sponge and then release the pressure on It with the sponge In contact with the water. When you take a moderately full, slow, steady breath or Inspiration, es pecially with your mouth wide open, the diaphragm (a muscle) flattens down upon the liver like a tarpaulin being tightened down upon a straw stack, and squeezes blood on thru the liver Into the great vein toward the heart. Then when yon let the air out again, still slowly, steadily, thru the wide open mouth, without any muscular effort whatever, the sponge expands and draws fresh blood In from ths veins ot stomach and Intes tine and esophagus. Thus this natu ral manner ot breathing, belly breath ing, not only promotes better general circulation, but also aide the portal system and Improves the function of th liver. Not any kind of "deep g li m The Ferry Twins An wer Barton's Tax Arguments To the Bdltori Mr. Barton's communication on the sales tsx was answered so well edi torially In the Tribune of July 11 that It seems hardly necessary to write more about It. However, too much cannot be aald In favor of the aeles tax. So we present further facts to overoome Mr. Baitor.'a arguments. It Is his opinion that large stores will be benefited by the sales tax since they will pass It tU on to the con sumers and at (he same time will profit by a reduction In the property tax. However, large stores raise their prlcea In proportion to their TOTAL tax bill, 'jo when the sales tax la substituted for ths property tax, they will pass no more taxea on to the publl'j than they do at present. Also hs forgets that property taxea will be reduced not only on the property of large retailers, but also on that of consumers. Mr. Barton seems to be misinform ed when he states that the farmers pay 81 per cent of the property tax and that they would also have to pay much of the soles tax. Figures from ths Oregon Tax commission show that ths farmers pay only 34 per cent of property taxes. Moreover, ths sales tax ta purely a substitution levy, so It win NOT raise the farmer's taxes In the name of aU that Is logical. which la the more Just snd deslrsble for farmers to pay 39 per cent of their Income In property taxea, or for the case started. In this connection the undersigned asked Mr. Ames Walker, probation officer, to Inquire in Phoenix aa to the mental attitude of the Juror, which Inquiry so made revealed the fact that Mr. McClaln waa a very substantial citizen and competent and capable of being a fair Juror. But before asld report was furnished by Mr. Walker to th de tense. Mr. McClaln, as a Juror, had been excused by ths court upon the court's own examination after the de tense counsel had disclosed the In formation already had. The recent unpleasant circumstances Incident to this situation cause ma to publicly assume the entire responsibility for siding the defense in checking on this Juror, which checking method hss been snd Is being practiced by the state and th prosecuting attorneys offic as against all Jurors. This fsct is mora conclusively shown In the challenge Issued by the star aa against Dugan In th Glenn trial, which caused tha dismissal of an en tire Jury. I have laid this matter before the Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Oeorge Codding, who admitted the defense were within their rights in Investi gating Jurors and I also assumed full responsibility for my acta before his honor, Juris Sklpworth.

"Ths stock market whirled upward today Is th heaviest trading In more than' THREE YEARS. The day's turn over of 7,450,000 shares waa the big gest tor any rising market In the history of the stock exchange." NOTE this further sentence: "Prices, shoved by what seemed to be an Insatiable demand for stocks from MAIN STREET and Wall street, wer carried It to mora than 10 higher at the best." "Demand for , stocks from Main street." . Our grandfathers wouldn't have believed that, would they? They looked upon auch stock speculating as a vice peculiar to Wall street. But then a lot of things are hap pening that our grandfathers wouldn't have believed.

The world Is moving. Where it is going, Tie don't know. But w are hoping. clal news: . "Without help from commodities. which were mo&tly sluggish, or from business snd trade news, which was colorless, bulls built their own price structure." WHY? Well, they believe condi tions are Improving, and they are hastening to ANTICIPATE th im provement. That seems to be about the only answer that will satisfy. OO MUCH for stocks. Now a word iJ is to commodities: The Coast representative of a large Eastern clothing house has Just re celved this message from his sales manager: "I have tust returned from New York, and conditions there were beyond all my expectations. I don't want you to sell any goods at the present time at all, except to some one who Is a regular account of ours and to whom we haije sold befor.
