MAKING HISTORIC BATTLEFIELD Salem has been hampered in getting and keeping fac tories on account of Portland having better freight rates. This condition will exist until Salem itself removes it if it can. The offer to sell the steamers Oregona and Po mona to Salem merchants and business men mav offer a solution of this problem. It is claimed by the present owners that none of the river towns, Salem with the rest jUtvwtt'msj ivmi iMi ci.iat i cii a Tiusband ir EtyJANEPHELPa A NEW ORDER OF THINGS. The Italians have put up a splendid fight and have made the present battlefield one that will be historic. It is good news indeed that both French and English rein forcements have arrived to aid them in not only check ing the Teuton advance but to assist in driving the in vaders from Italian soil. The results will be watched with keen interest for the fighting is largely in the open and once the Teutons ave forced to retreat there should be some brilliant fighting such as brought fame to old-time battlefiields. It is also possible the invaders may find the way out much harder to travel than the road in. The kaiser's forces are making a desperate struggle to break through the Italian lines, and the fact that they have not been able to do so indicates now that help is arriving, that the attempt will, proving hopeless, be abandoned. If this happens, on top of the whipping administered by the British it will keep the kaisers backers busy explaining the two catastrophes. The reports from Berlin indicate the true story of the western front, and the other of failure in Italy are both being suppressed, and that claims of German victories are told in place of them. This may win for a time, but when once the deceit is generally known it will weaken the kaiser's hold on the people. It seems about the only thing Prussianism can do to save its face, but lies eventually are discovered and then trouble starts. CHAPTEB LXIX. For a moment Bob looked at me with out speaking, and it seemed that an ex- hV OTVPTi trip Knot, lino norr-nnorra ncfi-F ?f a ' ?rcss,5 ot almst dl8Sust et0c hi ' fc- ' " -A ".v iuwuiiuci, "iwulu iu iuou4.il iw lace. Tlieu He said : maintenance, ana lor tnis reason the company desires to quit the route. There is an abundance of business for the boats, and much more than they could manage if they were properly patronized. The question is would they be any better looked after in this line if Salem people, took hold of. them? With an increased patronage the boat line could be made to pay and also to help solve the freight problem for such factories as Portland has left us. It is a proposition that should be looked into carefully and if feasible should be undertaken. It is a certainty that if Salem is to crow it will have to do so through the push and energy of her own people. This being the case nothing which gives promise of help ing that growth should be left untried. The boat proposi tion might be an important adjunct, at any rate it should be carefully examined into. British troops are reported to be within three and a half miles of Jerusalem. They occupied Gaza not long since carrying the city instead of like Samson the gates, and later they saw the Turks bombarding the tomb of bamuel. Now it they can locate, and locate in the Garden of Eden the whole range of Bibical countries will have felt the taste of the greatest of all wars. It is reported a daughter of the czar is on her way to America, and that she escaped from Siberia by a fictitious marriage. America has always offered a refuge for the unfortunate and Miss Romanoff will be given a chance to forget her father was czar of all the Russias, and also a blundering fool. DEMOLISHED A STRAW MAN The Oregonian criticises a local news item about the escape of Elwin Hayes from the State hospital for the insane, and says "familiarity with these unfortunate be ings unconsciously breeds jocularity or .indifference in seme minds. "The intimation is that the Capital Journal was ''jocular," over the escaped patient's condition men tally. The story, which the Oregonian prints in full, if "jocular" in any sense, wTas so not concerning the person, but only as to the weather conditions. The escaped man later developed homicidal traits and unfortunately killed a deputy sheriff of Multnomah county. As a matter of fact Hayes had been a perfectly harmless patient for years. He had been given broad liberties about the insti tution and was looked upon by those in authority as jiot dangerous. It is of course true that an insane person is liable to changes in the character of his dementia, and is never to be trusted implicitly any more than is a sane person or the Oregonian. What there was in the story in question to induce criticism by the big morning paper is beyond comprehension unless it felt that it wanted to do something and not; having anything else to criticise built up a straw, man and then proceeded to demolish it. Apparently the federal authorities are waking up to the fact that seditious talk is common and also that it must be stopped. Arrests are reported in all sections of the country except Salem, and there is realfy no reason why this section should be overlooked, for there are of fenders of this class here as well as elsewhere. So long as the start has been made it should go the limit and make a clean up of all this class. Those who are not for the United States are against it, and if they talk against it they will also act against it if the opportunity offers. 1 hey should be interned until after the war and then sent to the countries from which they came. They will never make good American citizens, and should be given a chance to get acquainted with conditions in their old homes, just by way of comparison with what they have been accustomed to here. It looks as though the Oregon mist had forgotten its occupation. Half a dozen times this : Fall rains have started, but stopped after a day or so. The good old webtoot drizzle used to keep everlastingly at it for weeks at a time, but probably on account of the war it can t af ford it any more. ' I- ' " Thanksgiving Thursday, Christmas! in a month, New Years a week later and then comes themix-up of Olcott, Moser, Withycombe, McNary, Stanfield and a whole caboodle of smaller fry. In six months the primaries will be over and the candidates will konw who is who. The Italians are still fighting desperately and holding their ground. It seems it is high time that some report was received to the effect that the aid sent by France and England had arrived and was making itself felt by the enemy. Reports of the DeSaulles trial mention society women elegantly gowned being in the court room and moved to tears at the recital of the defendant's wrongs. This be ing the case- the verdict can be predicted with reasonable certainty. ' ' Turkey in Asia is in about as bad a fix as its namesake in America. Neither has anything to be thankful for just now. If anything the American turkey is in the better condition, having his troubles over for Thanksgiving time at least. ' ' I was sorry not to 2et home to din ner tonight, but I am trying to soil the Hampton block, and Lawrence, the man who is talking of buying wished to see me." "I could eat no dinner, but that makes no difference," I replied, as I wondered if he had 7ecognized the let ter. "No not if you are silly enough to go back to your old tricks and refuse to eat because I was not with you." J That is just the reason I and after this you may know that whenever you remain away I shall not eat. You have plenty of time for busines during the day, wmiout talcing tho time which be longs to mo." "Suit yourself. Go on a hunger strike ir you nice, l snail stay out whenever I think it necessary, or when J choose" "Here is a letter I found! " I return ed, so angry and hurt at his tone that I cared nothing if I had also displeased him in reading it, "I wish you would explain it." "There is nothing to explain, if you have read the letter." . "I have read it, and wish an ex planation. What right have you to re ceive letters from women?" Then-1 added, "you'd probably make an awful fuss if I had a man correspondent of whom you know nothing.'' "No, indeed, Margaret! I should lie glad if you had a man friend who made you happy and contented; one who was a true mend and companion," he an swered. I looked at him in amazement. Then I thought: "ho is only saying that so won't Una tault about the letter." "You haven't explained this let ter," I said holding it toward him. As I told you there is nothing to explain, since you have read it," he returned and took the letter from my outstretched hand. He smoothed it care fully, and put it in his pocket. "Who is this woman who calls you dear! What is she to you?" "Sho is a young writer whom I have tried to help. .She is nothing to me," he answered,- the latter question, sadly, or so it seemed to me, "I will say good night now, Margaret,' 'and without an other .glance at me he went into his room and closed the door. So the new order of things was in augurated. Not only was Bob leaving mo alone, but when he returned he shut himself away from me. Long I sat thinking of what I could I do to combat him ; to make him see things as I saw them. At first I thought too, of the letter from the girl "Irma" but not for long. Bob had said she was a writer whom he, with his love of books and Quixotic notions, was try ing to help toward success. Had he not declared she was nothing to him? Once there crossed my mind an uneasy re membrance of his tone as he had said she meant nothing to him, but I dis missed the idea as my imagination, and recurred to the vital theme, how was I to make Bob give me the love, the attention, the time I felt were mine by right? It was very late when I at last retired after listening at his closed door until 1 was assured by his heavy breath ing he was asleep; yet I was no nearer the solution of my problem than I had been in the countless times before when I had tried to think out a way to curb ana manage my husband. "I've invited John Kendall to come down for the week end," Bob said at breakfast. "I know you do not like him, but as he is my dearest friend, I. hope you will try to be more cordial to him than the last time he was with us: We have a good deal to talk over, so will bother you with our society very little." "It isn't YOUR society I object to!" "He will either come down hero, or we will go down to the Long Island club tor Sunday." "Let hiin come here by all means, if it means you would leave me alone it he didn't!" 1 hastily replied, appalled at the idea ot a lonely week end. "" Very well.'' "1 was beginning to hate John Ken dall, to disiiKe more intensely all of JjoD's iioliem.ttii friends. Yvaa lie going to invito them to our home without even consulting me? I flushed angrily at the thought tne while I gave oruers to hove one of the guest rooms ready for John Kendall who would come down with Bob on i'riday. That night when Bob came in he took a long envelope out of his pocket and laid it on the table. " Take good care of it Margaret" he said, as I picked it up and looked cur iously at it. "What is it?" I questioned. "The deed to the house. It is yours no matter what happens.'' ' ' Thank you .Bob, ' ' I said rather in differently, "I would as soon you kept the title in your own name. What's yours is mine you know at 'least you said so when we were "married. ' i "But this makes you safe--as far as always having a home is concerned." I don't care: f or a home unless we are happy together in it," was my an swer, aud I really meant it.

Rippling Rhymes ji by Walt Mason THE LONG FACE The man who's always serious, who's solemn all his days, is prone to pain and weary us, in fifty-seven ways.

They are married in a bi plane by a nearby minister driving a monoplane, the ceremony being enliven ed by a chase after a crow that has swallowed the ring, dropped overboard by the best man. For five years they are pursued by Bparhawk Uludd, an un principled scoundrel, whose aeroplane factory they had pillaged for the means to elope, and who trails theA in a pow erful twiplane.

Conclusion. "Can you explain satisfactorily, Mrs. Chutes," asked the judg "why in this time of German plots and spies, yon built a house whose only entrance is two hundred feet above the ground!" "I didn't want to be bothered by peddlers," she exclaimed. "And .I'm a home loving woman and never like to go out." "But your husband," cried the judge triumphantly. ' ' How does your husband get into his new home?" "My husband is a steeple jacK- , sue heplied simply. "The case is dismissed," gasped the judge, as he weaklr lighted his pipe.
