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. The golf at the pretty
little 9 hole course at Corvallis with
gorgeous views ot ths beautiful
country. was hot, the scores were
not. Elbert Bede of Cottage Orove,
who likes to play In Shorts but
thank Heaven I didn't won, by scor
ing somewhere between 00 and 100
tor 18 holes. Bede looks younger
thsn ever, kisses the girls, and klda
the boys with as muoh hearty gusto,
as he did 30 years ago. Strang he
has never held more important pub
lie office than reading-clerk In the
house, In which he Is a hardy per
ennial. 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. Brodle, who has a
way of pulling down ambassadorships
In remote places, are the two excep
tions. The only thing they have In
common la newspaper work In Ore
gon City, Perhaps that's the reason.

THE PORTAL SYSTEM.

for ten ounces of body weight. Dogs

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

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.

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THIS paragraph In yeaterdsys new
most have caught your eye.
"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.
CONTROL of aU business by the
government, for example Includ
ing price fixing, wage fixing and the
frankly announoed determination to
put out of business the price cutter.
the watte cutter ana the chlseler so
that legitimate business may no
longer be called upon to meet this
type of competition.
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. We
will not accept any Business from new
accounts, as It would be worse to sell
people and not deliver than not to
have sold at aU." v
SOUNDS like the old days, doesnt
K
What makea It sound MORS like
the old days Is the fsct that every
merchant in tha country la receiving,
almost every day, notices of IN
CREASES In the price of merchan
dise. All ot a sudden, there are more
buyers than sellers, and so prices GO
UP. Prices ALWAYS go up when there
are more buyers than sellers.
WHAT will come of It all Will the
kite go too high and then fall
back?
Nobody knows.
But this much Is certain: Unless
buying power, which In the main, de
pends upon wages, keeps pace with
rising prices, the bubble will burst.
IT CANT be otherwise.
People can't go on. paging high
prices unless they have something to
pay them with. And It people CANT
PAY high prices, because of lack ot
earning power, markets win disappear
and business will crash,
SPEAKING of the commodity mar
kets, here is an Interesting little
sidelight:
The price of rye passed the dollar
"Double
Check" . .
rHAT Is exactly what this Institution receives
. . . Regular STATE supervision plus rigid
FEDERAL examination, made necessary
through our recent affiliation with the FEDERAL
HOME LOAN BANK of Portland. This assures
added protection for Investors In this association
a . . It la another reason why you should investi
gate this sound, profitable, home investment opportunity.

mark recently, rising 35 cents a bush!
in three daya.
That Is a pretty stiff Increase.
WHAT 1 responsible for ltv
Two things seem to be. Eer,
they say. Is creating an added demand
for ry bread. Then it appears that
there will be no processing tax on
ry- ,
Price Is affected chiefly by supply
and demand, and lot ot things af
fect supply and demand.
INCIDENTALLY, a farmer here In
Southern Oregon held over 1500
sacks of rye. The price last year was
around SO cents a sack, and now hs
can get 90 cents.
He did pretty well by holding.
