' ' One day last week stock prices as mirrored In stock indexes took the sharpest drop since June ot 1850 when traders were trying to guess whether the outbreak of fighting in Korea meant the third world war was starting. One day this week, some stock price indexes had "the greatest ad vance of the past two years" and were reported standing "within the shadow of the highest mark since 1929." You might remember, however, that a stock price index" Isn't the same thing as the market as a whole. For instance, Tuesday when the many stocks were making a sharp advance, 298 of the 1,139 stock issues traded declined. And two of them hit their lowest point so far this year, while 373 showed Bo change at all. On the days when an index may be taking a spectacular drop, there will almost always be a sizable number of stocks recording price gains. The long uphill march since last September has reflected-prlmarily the eagerness ot Investors to buy the blue chip stocks ot the most prominent and prosperous corpora tionsthe type which most stock indexes include. A sisable number ot other shares on the stock ex change have shown only a small advance or none at all. Stocks of some Industries have been notor iously depressed. N The advance of the blue chips and some growth company stocks over the months has been traced to several factors. One is the belief that business will turn, better this fall or next year. A second is a growing amount of idle money piling up in pension lunds and insurance company sales. Investors have been seeking the blue chips to put this money to work. A third has been the very real chance that dividend payments will be more liberal. This chance is oascd on the lact that many com panies, despite a decline in sales volume, have been able to show as good or better net profit after taxes this year. The end ot the excess profits tax helped. Oreater productivity and econo my Irom the use of njore modern pianis ana new equipment have cut tneir costs. And many of these companies are. now winding up their long post war expansion programs, into wnicn they poured n large propor tion of their eaiTur.Ts. Stockholders feel that henceforth a bigger share of the profit' pie is going to be cut in the form ot divi dends.. They'll Do It Every Time m .

I Letter From Washington ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD HAL BOYLE ' BONN, Germany HI Here where Beethoven was bora and wrote some of the world's might iest music a 78-year-old German statesman is trying to bring true a mighty dream the dream ot European unity. , And time is running out tor the old man. As of the first of this year Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer was the strongest and most influential po litical figure between London and Moscow. By the end of this year Adenauer will probably either go down in history as a kind of , European Abraham Lincoln or merely an other old Titan with a faded dream, cultivating his rose garden in quiet bitterness as his country men forget him. The issue is simple. His' coali tion German federal government so far has gone a Ion? with him in bis program for European defens ive cooperation. But the coalition Is wavering. How long can he hold It together in the face of France's refusal to vote for a six-nation European army in which French and German troops would serve .together? Just last week the sturdy elderly chancellor told a group of visiting American former war correspond ents about his dream of European freedom. Lean and erect, he has the dark impressive facial immo bility of an Indian chieftain.- But although he has lived eight years beyond man's Biblical age, bis voice was firm and strong, bis eyes bright and intense, as he talked for more than an hour on the present plight of Europe. Many German leaders now like to play down the question of Ger many's guilt in the last war. But Dr. Adenauer makes no conces sions to his people's desire to for get the past. He despised Adolf Hitler's aggression in the tatter's lifetime and has no wish to mini mize now the disaster that Nazi policies brought to the world. Then turning to Communism, he remarked: "But a terrible dictatorship has gained control ot half ot Europe. This dictatorship is even worse and stronger, and more cruel thin that of Hitler." , The chancellor remarked he thought it a delusion fnr l.ari.as. In his own or nthpr individual ft,. tries to believe they could deal separately with Soviet Russia. He said nothing impressed Russia's Communist rulers but power equal to their own, and the only power mey now iearea was the united States. I 'TlOn Vi m n nt nn I. . ,1 , 11 the six-nation European army did ucvuuic reauiy ue Russians wmtlrt finrl that within ,,..

"We can no longer think in na tional terms only," be said, "The development of Germany since 1945 holds no danger to the Free World. In a unified Europe no cnilntrv fMllH V,, a, thraa . . A.u er country, we must overcome the ociiuii cguiisni oi European na tionalities." The strong old man sat there a moment, his firm face framed room in the palace Schaumburg. As we read the various narratives of participants and historians who have left us records ot the events of the Modoc War of 1873-73 we can either become confused by the conflicting statement or see a def inite pattern of events. We realize that no individual had the courage to tell the story without censorship and so we find our greatest in terest in the things the narratives obviously avoid. In Jeff Riddles account of the bat tle at Captain Jack's cair.p he completely ignores the presence of Ivan Applegate. Applcgate played a very important role In this epi sode and his version of the affair is completely different from Rid dles. At the moment, as tar as we have progress In our search for facts of the case, we have the r- t- tern of two distinct versions of what happened at Lost River. Jeff Rid dle Is the proponent of one Colonel Thompson, the other. Riddle's story was basically influenced by Meacnam. Thompson's story was influenced by Ivan Applegate. Riddle's version is a little hard to swallow when he states that the Indians stacked their rifles in one pile at the request of Captain Jackscn. Riddle has written it: "Every Indian stepped up smiling, and laid down his trusty muzzle loading rifle." If they did put down their rifles one can bet there were no "smiles." they were practically looting into the muzzles ot the rifles of the calvarymen. These Then he rose and quickly walked out. . . Seeing him leave, some of us couldn't help wondering who. if Dr. Adenauer falls, would have his stiength of will or purpose to weld a free and united Europe. He seems the tallest tower in a dubious landscape still darkened by ancient fears and old distrust. people were fearful, for the mem ory of Ben Wright had been vividly stamped upon their minds, yet there was no panic. Neither side in the affair wants to accept the responsibility of firing the first shot, the whttes.'of course. would like one to believe it was their opponents; however, the story of the two shots that "made but one report" was a very happy solution to a serious dilemma. Lieutenant Bouielle has left account ot this Incident which Is recorded by Cyrus Towusend Brady in his book "Northwest Tights and Fighters. Boutclle Is quoted as follows: "Major Jackson finally rode over to me and said, 'Mr. Boutclle. what do you think of Uie situation?' ' "There Is going to be a tight.' ! I replied, "and the sooner you open it the better, before there are any more complete preparations.' "He then ordered me to take some men and arrest Scarface Charley and his followers. I had taken the situation In pretty thor oughly in my mind and knew that any attempt to arrest meant the killing of more men than could be spared. If any of the survivors were to escape. I was standing in front of the troop. I called out to the men, 'Shoot over those Indians.' and rasled my pistol and fired at Scarface Charley. "Great minds appear to have thought alike. At the same Instant Charley raised bis rifle and tired at me. Wo both missed, his shot -passing through my clothing over my eionw. u cut two notes tnougn my blouse, one long slit In a cardi gan Jacket, and missed my inner shirts. My pistol bullet passed through a red handkerchief Char ley had tied around his head, sc be afterwards told me. "There was some discussion af ter the close ot the war, as to whe Florence Plans New Hospital FLORENCE, Ore, tm A 6300.- oou bond Issue for construction of a 30-bed hospital here was ap proved by voters of tho Western Lane County Hospital District We nesday. The district, including Florence Mupteton, Swisshome and Ada ap proved Uie Issue. 493-184. An ap plication has been ninde for $100, 000 In lcderal mulching funds. had fired the first shot. I use a pistol In m left hand. The track ot Scarface Charley's bullet showed my arm was bcn In the act of fir ing, when he fired. We talked tne mattir over, but neither could tell which fired first. "The fight at once became gen cral. shots came from everywhere, from the mouth ot the teepees, from the sage brush on our left, from the river bank and from the bunch of braves In which Scarface Charley was at work. - "As soon as I had time to see that I had missed. I suppose I fired another shot at Charley, at which he dropped and crawled off in the brush. Just then an Indian dropped on his knees in the open ing of a teepee a few yards from our right Iron!., and let slip an ar row at me. This I dodged and the subsequent proceedings interested him no more." In Boutelle's narrative he makes clear that Scarface used a rifle in their duel and not a pistol as Is recorded by Riddle. The pattern of events are clear even It the details are confused. Boutclle leaves us with some new lines of thought In his narrative especially In quotes as to his discussion ot the situa tion advising Jackson to open the battle "before there arc any more complete preparations." Here are Indians preparing to battle while looking Into the muzzles of the rifles of the troops. Does this mean. the Indians had stacked their guns and were picking them up again from the pile? By IUHHIS tXI.N WORTH, M, C. 4th DISTRICT, ORKtlON Hie final passage by bolh Houses ot Congress ofthe loiig-penriliig bill to settle the controversy between the FVtrest service and the Bureau of Land Management regarding some 463.000 acres of forest laud In Oregon marks the end ot a troublesome and costly situation. Since 1940 when the dispute arose, neither the Forest Service nor tho BLM have been able to make long range management and timber sale plana because neither agency could count tho disputed area as a part of Its domain. Both agencies are required by low to harvest tim ber on what Is culled a sustained vlrld baals. This means that culling Is limited to c.ilunated annual re production. With Jurisdiction over the vast disputed acreage In doubt obviously neither agency could iiuike sound and permanent hur vesting plans. Now they can. The condition has become so acute Hint had this legislation been longer delayed many mills might have been loicrd to close down with resulting loss ot Jobs and community Income. Nearly one million acres of forest land have been in a checkerboard pattern on the map every od.l nundifrcd section Is claimed or controlled by the BLM and every even numbered section is In the National Forest. This has meant a costlv administrative problem for the Federal government. In addi tion to settling the dispute, the bill Just enacted Into law provides lor exchanging and blocking up these checkerboard areas so that each, administering agency operates a solid block of area. , Here are the things accomplished ; by the new law: D Money due the counties In lieu of taxes from the disputed lands has been accumulating In a "sus- pense fund" for about 14 years. It has reached a total sum of more then 47.000.000. This fund will be distributed In accordance with the terms of the 1937 O fc C Act 75 per cent to the counties. 3i proceeds from limber sales on the formerly disputed acreage will In the future be distributed on that basis. 3i The Forest Service has always Insisted upon handling tho disputed area as If It were part of the Na tional Forest so far as physical ad- ministration la .concerned. The lands will be operatrd by the For est Service In the future. 4i The Inter-departmental tim- berland checkerboard Is eliminated or will be within two years, which Is the time set in the law for completing the "blocking up" details. 5i Both the Forest Service and Die Bureau of Land Management now know exactly what and how much they administer and can pro reed to make sound operating and management plans Including, of course, Uie development of access' roaas. During the many years Senator; Guy Cordon and I have been en deavoring to secure the passage of this legislation, the only point of . opposition (oUier than from one or the other of Uie Interested Federal government departmental has been by people who for their own iter sunnl reasons liava preferred to do b u a I n e t with one guvonunriil agency rather than die otlutr. The sales policies of the two are slight ly dlflerent. I have observed, huw ever, that thin preleieuce seems to be about evenly divided no we were not seriously concerned with Unit the only opposition to the bill. One of the Interested O C counties evidently became Impa tient with the ellnrta lo ellle tills dispute by legislation. Clackamas County look the problem lo the courts and won, on April 30lh tills year, a decision by the Court o( Appeal-!. It was a Una legal vic tory. Unfortunately, many people Jumped to the conclusion thai the court decision settled tho matter. I wish It had, but 11 didn't. First, although the court decision settled the munev pint of Ilia problem, It Icll Ilia question ul Jurisdiction very much In doubt, Tim depaiiineiiliil uisiul would Mill I "UP. Mei'oiutly, die ilrclnlun of a Court ol Appeals Is not nei'osMiiily filial. Hucli a dr. clsliui run be appealed to tha Su premo Court, 11 eoin pretty cor. lain dial the guviiiiiiiieiil attorneys intend lo appeal and an uppeul would roqulio months and possibly years for a tlniil drolnlon. It seems lo me II should bs pretty clear, even lo Ihe Claoka ipns County Coniiulssloncra that (lie legislative solution, now that we have succeeded, li eminently hiill.ilnotory.
