random trees and speeches prove tne

A revolt looms in state Orange

has discovered what was happening
to him, and has wearied of Profes

lead him into political Jack-pote.
While "the farmer was In the dell"

The Oregonian Is Right
i
are reprinting below the leading editorial from this
" morning's Oregonian, for it represents the views th'w
paper has held' from the outset regarding Bonneville and the
appointment of J. D. Ross of Seattle as its administrator.
It is also a fine example of a generous, broad-minded and
enlightened spirit regarding the problem that Bonneville rep
resents, and the controversy that has raged, with Portland as
one exciting center, since the
first predicted.
The editorial in question follows:
Welcome, Mr. Ross .
The Oregonian, which for a good many weeks past has be
lieved the appointment of J. D. Ross to be Bonneville adminla-
trstor was assured, has at no time agreed with those who
thought the appointment would be a calamity for Portland.
Now that he has been named, this newspaper bids Mr. Ross
welcome to the vsst field of usefulness here that has become
his,
Whatever one may think of the relative merits of public
versus private operation of electrical power utilities, all who
are Informed must know that Mr. Ross la a competent power
administrator. His experience at Seattle has been adequate to
fit him for the larger field that he enters now. It Is no valid
objection to him to say that his experience has been in opera
tion under public ownership, for Bonneville is a publc-owner-ahlp
project. The national administration does not want Bon
neville operated as a commercial utility Is operated. The basic
policy la for Bonneville to serve the largest possible number
of people with power. Mr. Ross did not fix that policy. Mr.
Roosevelt fixed It. It was written Into the Bonneville act at
passed by congress, with the provision that fifty per cent of
the power available shall be reserved for public uses. Mr. Ross'
own views are in harmony with that policy and It Is altogether
natural that such a one would be selected for the position of
administrator.
So far as the national administration la concerned, and so
far as Mr. Rose is concerned, there la no issue on- the question
of providing power for industries desiring to locate near the
dam alte. Power for industries will be made available. Rather
than with that, the Initial trouble la going to be to find In
dustries to use It. Mr. Ross says he will make lnqulrlea at once
as to what Industries are seeking Bonneville power. It Is much
to be feared the anawer will have to be that none Is seeking It
definitely. In other words, there Is not at present any complete
ly definite prospect for location of an industry at or near Bon
neville to use Its power. Bonneville must go into a seller's mar
ket, seeking customers. .
There are encouraging signs that the Portland community
and hinterland, Including elements which have opposed the ap
pointment of Mr. Ross, are now preparing to rally to his sup
port and give him co-operation. And the general tone, as well
as the utterances, of Mr. Rosa as given to the enterprising Mr.
Neuberger and published in The Oregonian, indicate that hs
will be found ready to meet the community half way, abating
nothing of his sense of responsibility to the whole Bonneville
field, but prepared to give consideration to the Portland group
Interest, as to others.
'That la all Portland can expect, Jt is all Portland ought to
expect. It la time for an end to contention.
That is good sense, and sound statesmanship.
Now if the two factions in this controversy, will follow the
course, outlined by the Oregonian, forget their petty differ
ences, and join together in securing the maximum benefits,
from this great federal project, concentrating upon what is
best for the state, regardless of possible partisan benefits to
one side or the other, all will be well, not only for the pres
ent, but for the future as far as Bonneville is concerned.
THERE is no reason why the
n.nn't. t'ivA lnur mice in tlin
time, encourage industrinl development, along the Columbia
River. The idea that one can be achieved, only at the expense
of the other, has no basis infact, is merely a bogey man erect
ed along the trail, to confuse the real issue and delude the un
thinking by those who see in the Bonneville problem, a golden
opportunity, at the coming election, to get votes.
....
WHEN the Oregonian states, that power for industries will
hfl nvnilnhln. but. tliA initial trmihla ia (miner tn ho 4a finrl
industries to use it, it states an
There are two chief reasons
turing the cost of power, is a relatively unimportant item, in
the total cost of production. Power costs might be cut in two
and have little if any material effect upon the selling price.
Second for any manufacturing concern proximity to its market,
is far more important than what, it may, or may not have to
pay, for power.
TIlIS doesn't mean every effort should not be made to se-
cure industrial development throughout, the Bonneville
district, nor does it menu, that certain industries, might because
of the nature of their product find advantages along the Col
umbia River, Uioy would find no where else. But it DOES mean
there are certain obstacles, inherent in far western nuinufiie
ture, and in attacking such a problem, no good end will be
served, by kidding ourselves, they do not exist.
The Mail Tribune has frequently differed with the Oregon
ian, particularly in polities, and the self-interested provincial
ism of Portland, has for many years, been a source of irritation
and regret, in this section of the state. So it is particularly re
freshing, to find ourselves for once in enthusiastic agreement
with the Portland paper, and on an issue, which indicates a
new vision, and a broader, more enlightened' viewpoint in the
brown stone tower, and along the banks of the Willamette 1
congratulate the Oregonian on its stand. It is the posi
" tion, a broadminded, intelligent journal, with a true
sense of disinterested public service, SHOULD take.
Wo hope all factions involved, will have the wisdom, to take
''a excellent advice and follow its courageous leadership.

BETTER NUTRITION IN CHILE
League of Nation Health commit
tee made a study of nutrition and
health conditions In Chile In 1935

of the recom

conclusions made
from this study
were clearly set
forth in an ad

he Is minister of health, social se

Insignificant statua of a bureau un

now call the state of optimal nutri

From Dr. Coke's address I quote
this striking statement:
"If It Is remembered that milk is'
the prlpclpal material for the build
ing of a race, Irreplaceable by any
other food tn nearly all cases, that
It la the most important of the pro
tective foods, and that according to
our own studleB and those of our co

the department of public health, so

NEW YORK, Oct. 12. George
Palmer Putnam, husband of Amelia
Earhart, has not as yet mourned
the brave flyer
as dead. He has
glimmers of hope
that somewhere
on some forlorn
dot of an lslnnd
along the outer
fringe .of the
world she and her
navigator, Fred
Noonan, may ne
Ei 1 son Crusoe lire.
jJs?asBBsi& Of course, such
a hope, even to
him. becomes fantastical at limes,
but he clings to It. Putnam, a quiet,
self-efraelng fellow Interested chiefly
In rare books, has aged much since
his life was cracked up by the long
and agoniring suspense of the Hy
ing tragedy.
He had undergone several of these
torturing Interludes on other ocean
hops of Miss Earhart and looked
forward to the around-the-giobe
flight, which was fatal, as her last.
She Is said to have promised him she
would make no more of a perilous
nature.
They were Ideally matched. He was
in complete sympathy with her avia
tion amhlttons and had no urge for
the spotlight. Furthermore, he was
posse.VMd of ample forlune to furnisn
the necessary funds for her costly
experimentations.
Among the long-standing column
feuds Is that between Walter Lipp-
man and Hey wood Broun. They were
long co-workers on the old Morning
World. Broun, with (treat glee, fre
quently hurls a Journalistic Javelin
at Uppman, but If It has brought
blood it has not shown up In Upp
man's column. He Ignores ihe thrusts
completely, which Is so often dis

lack of milk puberty Is advanced
and, with this, precocious differen

chologic unbalance. Dr, Coke says
the consumption of milk Ut Chile Is
only one-fifth to one-tenth as much
as the per capita consumption In the
United States.
Milk, butter, cheese, eggs, fresh
fruits, green fresh vegetables and
fresh meat are the foods which best
supplement wheat and potatoes. Milk,
cheese, eggs and green fresh vege
tables supply needed calcium; fresh
lean meat is tbe richest source of
phosphorus, The Chilean ministry

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hot Flashes.
I and many of my friends are pass
ing through the menopause. Only
trouble we have is unpleasant hot
flashes. Will these ever stop? Will
any remedy reliove them now? Mrs.
M. L.)
Answer Many women never have
them. They continue, to trouble more
or less for three or four years, on
the average. Semi-weekly hypoder
mic injections ovarian hormone
variously called theelln, amnlotln,
anterior pituitary like hormone, etc.
give considerable relief. '
Blood Pressure.
What Is the blood pressure for a
woman of 307 Does It to up or
down when a woman is pregnant?
(Mrs. C. H.)
Answer Blood pressure In a wom
an aged 30 should be normal. It
does not vary from normal during
pregnancy. Send ten cent coin and
stamped envelope bearing your ad

deny their calling. In fact, they like
to romance about it. There was one
light-hearted churl known among
his guild by the name of a fruit. Say
"Apples," which was not quite it.
One time, coming up the gangplank
at Plymouth, I hailed him from tne
deck by his moniker, He flushed,
and as he passed clipped out of the
side of his mouth: "Nix. On this
ship I am Col. Jetfers." My mother-in-law
was along and one evening
In the coffee room "Col. Jeflers''
strolled by, stopped and turned on
his charm, telling the dear old lady
of his own mother, shaking of! a
vagrant tear so doing, and or nis
church activities and his noble faith
In mankind. He made such an im
pression It was weeks before I tola
her he was a professional rascal.
Another type of fUm-flnmmer in
teresting me was the old time race
track tout. Before the days of the
parl-mutuels. In early newspaper
days I lived In a sort of rake-hell
hotel catering to burlesque, second
company musicals and track touts.
No ambitious student trying to rise
In the world studied so assiduously
as these touts perused racing forms
or dope sheets. To have applied
themselves as earnestly to a worthy
calling could not, have resulted in
anything but success. They were tops
in misspent endeavor.
Yet It occurs I'm lacking In ap
preciation for touts. While strolling
among the fi0-cpnt bookies one day
at Latonla, I listened to the guo
patter of one of the gentry. And as
a result of his enticing ring-a-do
played a 20 to 1 shot on the nose.
The horse romped In and I waited
around for the tout to claim his
phnre. but he never showed up.

MR. MRS. R. EHALLSEY, of Se
attle, end their dog have Just
completed an 800-mlIe voyage from
Puget sound to San Francisco bay
In a 40-foot sailing boat with an
auxiliary engine. In these days, we
look upon it as quite a feat and
congratulate the Hallseys on thlr
nerve, daring and navigation skill.
We forget that a great deal of the
world was discovered by daring early
Bailors In boats not much larger
than this. Indeed, If Lief Erlcksen
and his followers really did discover
America not must have been in boats
of about this size. .
BACK in the very dawn of history.
Hanno and a crew of Phoenicians
voyaged out throtigh the straits of
Gibraltar and followed down the
coast of Africa, coming back with an
adventure tale that set the little
world of the Mediterranean afire
with interest. Among other things,
they told of a race of huge, hairy
men such as no one had ever seen
before and their listenera "oh'd and
ah'd" quite satlsfyingly. (It Is sup
posed that this tale referred to the
African gorillas).
Hanno and his men, without In
struments and handicapped by super
stitious fears (they expected at any
moment to sail off the edge of the
world, which they believed to be
flat) made their voyage In a boat
probably no larger than the Hallseys'
and WITHOUT an auxiliary engine.
There have been good sailors for
a long, long time, you see.

Ye Poets Corner
Concerning Fishing
When on our curious little world
You cast a thoughtful glance,
Don't fail to closely scrutinize
Its droll inhabitants
And note how those of every land,
From cradle to the grave,
Devote their lives to fishing for
The various things they crave.
Some fish for gold and diamonds
And some for great renown;
And some go fishing for a throne
Where they can wear a crown.
The merchants fish for customers
The male sex fish for wives
The females fish for husbands who'll
Adore them all their lives.
Detectives fish for criminals
And gangsters fish for graft;
Prisoners fish for freedom witn
High hope and native craft.
Astronomers fish for comets
Worklngmen fish for Jobs
Communists fish for trouble
With riots, bombs and mobs.
The farmers fish for markets,
The preachers fish for souls,
Scientists fish for knowledge
Around our planet's poles.
Then there's the tax collector
The champion of them all
And the luck he has in fishing
Makes other sport look small.
Each day this vast assemblage,
(Two billions, at this date),
Puts In full time a-fish ing
With different kinds of bait.
But those who read the "want ads"
Appearing every day,
Will learn how clever fishermen

To Grimily With Love
By Iowa
I've wiped up spilled milk,
Swept broken glass.
Changed snowy diapers
For my Lad and Law.
Wiped little noses
Combed mussy hair
And then one day
Found a grown-up there.
No more scattered toya
Or horsey-back rides
No burns or scratches
Or "sklnneyed" up aides.
No grinning display of
Loose teeth by the son,
Or combing of curls
No shoestrings undone
God please, I'd like back
For an hour or so.
That shrill, begging voice
"To make my car go."
The Heavenly Father
Thy Lonllness welshed
Gently sent wee Orandfolk
For "Granny" who preyed!
"Chrysanthemii in s"
Days may he dull but splendor comes
In flowers beloved; chrysanthemums.
We find them red and bronre and
gold.
Rich as of metallic mold.
Growing beside a garden fence
They are a whole years recompense.
A warmth of color which defies,
The chill of gray, forboding skies.
Stores may be mefler these will be
Welcomed and gathered Joyfully.
Loving thrin, perhaps we'll find
Other loniTliv left behind.
Gallantly they meet the frost.
But when brown leaves are brusquely
tossed.
Wc bear them proud ty In. "ere night
And shsre with them the home rtre
lUht. Days may be dull, but splendor come.
In flowprs beloved; chrysanthemums.
Flower of good brown earth, to me
they seem
The emblem of Autumn. glowing
drenm.

Now the Industrialist organisation
Is going to take a leaf from the New
Deal's book, as the N. A. M. express
it, and enter Into the moving picture
field. Many government agencies
make use of moving pictures. "The
Plow That Broke the Plains" was
one of the most elaborate. The N.
A. M. says that its pictures will be
limited to showing facts about In
dustry with which they hope to offset
what they consider governmental
propaganda.
If the Reverend Homer Martin,
president of the United Automobile
Workers, Isn't taking his meals off
the montelplece, he will be soon.
High up on the agenda of th
C. I. O. when they gathered in At
lantic City was a good walloping tor
the ardent preacher who played such
en Important part In organizing the
Detroit automobile workers.
It, whs only by promise of compro
mise that he was elected head of the
new union without a split In the
ranks. The charge now Is that, no
sooner did he get In, than he fired
so many enemies and hired so many
friends that he hos Just about
wrecked his organization.
Reports have reached C. I. O. head
quarters that, as a result of what
they declare Is a cllatlon of Mr.
Martin's harmony pledgee, A. F. of L.
organizers ore flocking into Detroit
from Flint, Toledo and South Bend
readv to grab off the disgruntled
U. A. W. workers.
Another thing that didn't go down
well with John L. Lewis Is the fact
that. Mr. Martin waved e gun a.t some
of his comrades when they became
somewhat emphstic In their criticism
of his conduct.
Reports from New Tork say that
detective acencies have discouraged
their strike-breaking and industrial
spy activities.
There Is no law against such aetlvl
tles except to bar transportation of
strike breakers across state lines for
the purpose of preventing "peaceful
picketing." and "peaceful picketing"
Isn't a cleverly defined rferm. That
Is the ree.on the government isn't
anxious to crowd stich cases.
But what really spoiled the strike
breaking business is the fact that
proof of such activities. If brought
before the national labor relations
board, may prejudice the employer's
case, it Is that much easier to es
tablish that he is Indulging In "an
unfair labor practice."
There really hasn't been a good
Joke about the Swiss navy since
William Jennincs Bryan, as secretary
of state. Invited Bwltrerland to join
in a naval conference.
Now it turns out that it wasn't a
Joke at all.
An inquiring student who carefully
mi railed the matter discovered that
a small fleet of armed motor launches
belonging to the Swiss government
pntrols its lake, rhey are run by
the customs department.
