Charles Lamb. e In the autumn alienee, which It a eound ai of acarlet leavei up above Prospect along to ward twilight, John Hammersly hook tobacco Into brown paper from red can, while the lone fishermen tliced fat bacon. Then Charley Young came drift ing In soft-footed as shadow, to lean his gun against the sugar pine, and John, squatted there on his boot heels, looked up at him with a question. The silent answer was no. Muffled and distant they heard a single rifleshot They looked up, and glanced down. "It's too dry." said John Hammersly. lighting a twig in the fire, and drawing deeply at his tobacco. "Did you see Lee anywhere?" Charley Young eased hit bootlaces and shook hit head. But John lifted alert ly, while the fisherman paused over the bacon, knife lifted. It was to still seemed like you heard. In the . southern Oregon woods, the voices that are yon aide of stillness. "Yonder he comes," said John Hammersly, relaxing, and pull ing again at his brown paper cigarette. In a moment they heard the crackle and swish of forced brush. And, rifle In arm crook, Lee came into camp. Chuckle-chuckle-chuckle ran the flow of the hill stream, where the trout had risen to trike at the whiskers on Doll's muzzle. Lee set his gun down against the big friendly tree. "You fellows get a shot?" he asked, eyeing the bacon, and it was beginning to curl in the pan. John and Charley both shook their heads. The cool a h a d o w t were lengthening. "Nope," said John Hammersly. Then Charley Young looked at Lee as though it were over a dingy green card table. More still than silence, and an ember crackled loudly. "Well, boys," said Lee, "I'll tell you ". The bacon was scorching. Lee giggled. "I might as well tell you," he said. 'I threw down on a deer, seemed like It was a full hundred yards, and I let him have it. I got him all right, but when I walked over, why. It wasn't twenty paces." There was a long still ness, measured by long mo ments. The lone fisherman turn ed the bacon again. "Where's your deer then?" asked John Hammersly and Charley Young, he Just looked at Lee. Lee giggled again. "Well, you tee how it was," he explained. "It looked like a full hundred yards. In that light, but time t walked up to that deer it wasn't any distance, at all. It was only fawn. Yea sir; It wasn't any thing but a fawn with the spots still on It." John Hammersly spat crisply Into the flame. And Charley Young, he never took his eyes off poor Lee. It was getting dark fart, and the shadows were moving, bent-headed. Into camp. "Well?" said Charley Young af ter a while. "Well, what?" asked Lee. "What did you do with that (ConL Yon Side Editorial Truth and the War To the Editor I think you are right regarding the absence of any rea. fighting spirit in this country, but don't think It fair to blame President Roosevelt. In fact, the chief blame rests on the newspapers like your own, that have been printing lies about the war for two years. You continue to print them. Jus.t to night you claim, the Russians are throwing back the Germans and have killed two million of them, the losses to bad that Hitler has had to take all hit troops from Frnnce and call on Mussolini for more. Why should this country be eager to fight and die for England, when Germany it getting to badly licked without any more help than we are now giving. This Isn't anything new. Ever since the war started the news paper! in this country have fed the people propaganda instead of the facts, showing Germany getting knocked about all over the place, until Germany finally wins and the trutli can no longer be denied.

ANYWAY IT CHA8 At the suggestion of a friend of mine, (writes an eastern read er) I take this liberty of relating an experience of moment to me Some time ago I suffered from a catar rhal ulcer of the eye. Dr , the oculist whom you pro bably know, treated mo suc cessfully and pre scribed B complex cap sules to strengthen my nervous system, particularly my eyes, which had been under consider able strain prior thereto. After about three months on the B complex capsules 1 no ticed, and my wife confirmed, that hair was gVowing on the top of my head, previously quite bald ... Oh-oh. There it goes again. I had been bald (resumes the reader) for approximately fifteen years, although now only 42 years old. Of course I have con tinued taking six B complex capsules daily. The growth Is not readily visible since the hairs are very fine and blond in the main, but at certain parts of the head the hair line it slowly creeping up. Friends ridicule the Idea, but I am definite in the assertion that my hair it grow ing In again. How far it will grow I do not know. (S.H.B.) Attaboy. Cling to your convic tion despite everything. The duy you acknowledge your baldness it an Immutable state is going to be a horrible one. Let me offer a suggestion don't make up your mind about it all In a day Take a year or so to let the fact sink in. That way you'll prob ably weather It without suffer ing any permanent damage to your temperament and disposi tion. If it it any consolation to you, I may tell you I have had a good many letters like yours, most of them telling of restoration of natural color to graying hair, some of them declaring hair has started to grow in again after years of baldness, since the writ ers adopted the practice of sup plementing their regular diet with vitamin B complex. In about half of these cases the writers mention that they have also been taking an Iodine ration. In no Instance, however, has any such correspondent assured me that his or her hair has finally regained its full natural color or that the hair has finally com- News Behind The News By Paul Mallon iContlnued From Page One) cabinet rating, and thus will continue to express themselves in their own names e TPHIS new defense theory the Russians have developed Is one which may revolutionize warfare also, although the U.

Sept. 3. .-P) The senate finance committee formally approved the record breaking tax bill today and sent It on to the senate for debate tomorrow. The bill, biggest in history, was estimated by the treasury to produce M. 672.400.000 and by Chairman George (D.. Ga.) of the finance group to yield approximately $4,500,000,000. Senator La Follette (Prog . Wis.), a committee member, told reporters he would file a mi nority report criticising the measure. George announced that Senator Clark (D.. Mo.) reserved the right to Me a minority report in opposition to the committee's decision to broaden the income tax base by lower ing personal income deductions from $2,000 to $1,500 for mar ried persons and from $800 to $750 for single individuals.

Kelly's Comment From Weshlagtea Rainy Season I " Worrying Raver Truman Hearing Diipleate OPM Congressmen Get Derby Salmon By Joha W. Kelly (Note: During the absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation hit daily column will be written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of our Washington, D. C. staff). By Paul Dunham Washington, D. C, Sept. 3. Rainy season in the northwest, which sets in early in Septem ber and will continue until next spring, it bothering Paul J. Raver, administrator of Bonne ville and Grand Coulee. The procrastination of other branchet of the government In deciding on titet for aluminum plants is preventing Dr. Raver from ordering equipment for the transmission lines, and when the sites are definitely lo cated there will be rain and mud that will make the laying of foundations for the towers difficult. The administrator is up against the same situation that was encountered last win ter when the building of air ports for the army and canton ments for the troops was delay ed, and which will confront contractors building additional cantonments and air fields In the northwest this coming win ter. Priority licenses will be available to build the transmis sion lines, but until the exact location of plants and the routes of the lines are mapped there can be no orders issued for new equipment, which will cost a few million dollars, see OPM Is not pleased with the Truman committee, recently holding hearings in Seattle. Members of the committee, when they could not induce a witness to criticize OPM, promptly made their own state ments. This is not in pursuance with the usual policy of senate Investigating committees, where testimony is limited to the statements made by witnesses and then, finally, a report is published which sets forth the recommendations of the com mittee. In Seattle, however, the most lively attacks on OPM came from the senators, who, appar ently, were provoked at their interpretation of the policies of OPM in the matter of minerals in Washington state. The hearing developed ad ditional chapters to those un earthed by the O'Mahoney com mittee, sitting at the capita!, and the hearings conducted by Oregon's Holman In California and Oregon, all of which show ed the immense deposits of raw materials in the northwest and the failure of the government to take advantage of these do mestic resources. Enough mem bers of the senate are now in terested in the subject to war rant the prediction that legisla tion will shortly be Introduced to remedy the situation in some fashion. see THE states of Oregon and Washington might well take a leaf from the book on refor estation being written in ex per iments now being carried on by the state of Idaho. The Gem state has inaugurated a feasible and intelligent program for a reforestation project and a plan lor the rehabilitation of its first offending convicts. The plan, which had been developed un der the direction of State For ester Franklin Girard, was "sold" to the state prison board when Girard explained to its members his idea for the re habilitation of Inmates of the state prison. Work done by the prisoners will not be unlike that now being dine by some CCC camps. A nursery containing about six million small pine trees has already been planted. It will be the task of the pris oners to keep it up. to work in the mountains on reforestation projects and, in the winter months, to repair and build fire fighting equipment. Men used in these projects will be limited to trusties and first offenders. see FROM British Columbia to California markets every side track is occupied by a freight tram. Shippers have been eo.n ! plaining, but at this time the authorities in the national cap ' ital are doing nothing about it I It is asserted that only the pas senger trains are going through on schedule and such a thing as a fast freight is only discussed in the roundhouses. It is not quite as bad for the freight be ing taken to the east from the northwest, but the congestion along the Pacific coast has ! reached rv-'nt where shippers ihave no assurance when car 'load will reach its destination I Part of this dilnculty com from large government orders which, normally would move bv I steamer either to California or the Gulf ports. When the situa tion becomes severe it may be expected that agitation (among the new dealers) fir the govern ment to take over the railroads will become vocal. To offset this sentiment, which is recog- jnized by rail executives, orders 'have been Issued to rush the building of new freight cars and locomotives. e e SALMON caught In the sal mon derbies held on the streams of the northwest are being ship ped to members of congress and they are making a hit.

The War Today By By Dawltt MacKtnsia Special Writer By DeWitt MacKensie The London press today blazed with reports of the accu sation made In the Trade Union j Congress at Edinburgh that Col onel J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon, British minister of aircraft pro duction, had expressed the hope that the German and Russian I armies would "exterminate each other" and leave Britain the I dominating power in Europe. I This high-explosive was toss ed onto the floor of the labor conference by Jack Tanner, president of the great Amalga mated Engineering Union, who said he could prove his accu sation. Later an authoritative quarter in London said Tanner "evidently refers to a passage in a recent extempore speech which was open to misinterpre tation." It also was pointed cut that the minister recently said Britain must give the Soviet full war support. Whatever may be the final explanation of what the colonel did say, we of course know that the thought which he Is alleged to have advanced doesn't rep resent the avowed policy of the British government. Anyway, the importance of this Incident lies in the fact that the idea of domination of Europe is still knocking about, and apparently isn't confined to the tea-tables of any individual country. When Herr Hitler inaugur ated his program of expansion by force he made it evident that one of his main objectives was to destroy what he claimed was England's overlordship of the continent. That's where the war began with the fuehrer's desire to deprive John Bull of his title as policeman of Europe. Like most wars, however, af ter It got rolling it grew and changed its complexion. Hitler's program expanded with suc cess, until there Is no doubt that the very lives of England and other countries are now at stake. It is a life or death strug gle. It Is notable that because of these changes it was almost two years before the allies felt able to lay down their peace terms. When it was done in the joint announcement of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill it was set down that there would be equal rights in the new post-war world. This was essential, because the peo ples of the axis countries had been taught that an imperialis tic England was bent on de stroying them so as to dominate Europe. It would be interesting to know how the inscrutable sphinx of Moscow, Comrade Stalin, regards the expression attributed to Colonel Moore- Brabazon. Likely he will merely 'grin and remark to himself that jthe idea isn't copyrighted. I Russia is interested in the ex i pansion of communism rather I than in territorial gains. That always has been the great aim of the Bolshevists to extend communism throughout the I world. A Europe shattered by ; war and hunger and disease, as i It now bids fair to be, would ' provide the sort of soil Moscow seeks for the planting of the I seeds of communism. SALE SALEM PORT Salem.
