SOME INTERESTING
FACTS FR01M SOME
OLD-TIME RECORDS
County Tells Story Of
Pioneer Days.
' The dispatches yesteday announced that the ship
yard workers had made a "friendly demand" on the Unit
ed States" Shipping Board for a flat wage of a dollar an
hour for their services. High wages would not be a burden
some thing, in fact would make little difference to either
employer or worker, so long as the products of their labor
were sold in the United States, provided the high wages
were equitably divided. As it is, one branch of labor can
not receive extra high wages without placing a burden
on all othor labor. If shipyard workers are given a dol
lar an hour, naturally every laborer will flock to the
yards, unless the labor they are employed at also increases
its wage scale. This takes labor from the farms, or com
pels the farmer to pay a price that is ruinous to him. At
the same time the farmer, to protect himself against the
increased wage scale, must put up the price of his pro
ducts and this makes the burden on those who cannot
draw these higher wages a heavy one. In other words
increased pay to the shipyard workers who are now draw
ing the highest wages such labor was ever paid, means
that some other branch of labor must suffer ana pernaps
po without sufficient food for themselves and their fam
ilies. There is another feature about it conceding that
shipbuilders should be paid liberally and that is where
and when will the demand stop? If they are granted this
increased wace what assurance is there that within a
short time two dollars an hour will not be demanded?
It looks very much as though the shipyard workers were
trying to take advantage of the country 8 necessities to
force it to pay whatever is demanded. Light dollars a
day is out of all proportion to wages in other occupations,
Imt if this is granted those other occupations will have
to at least partially meet the raise, and this means still
Itigher cost of living. In justice to dl there should be a
relation between wages paid in all industries, and under
which one class of labor would not be benefitted at the ex
Iense of another.

CONCERNING PEACE DRIVES.
The military expert, Mason,, points out that Foch's
tactics are forcing Hindenburg to retire much more
slowly than he would if not attacked at all He is forced
to put up 3 heavy rearguard action and to retreat with
his back to the wall, so to speak, and fighting every inch
of the way. This is done to cause a steady decrease in
r i t a
uerman man-power, ana n is accompnsmng us purpose. jf. n J f n.
Prisoners alone in the last four days will number around I1! KecqTOS 01 tnampqeg
fifteen thousand and these with the killed and wounded
make up an aggregate loss that Hindenburg can ill af
ford to bear. Besides this it is hindering the final set
tling on the old Hindenburg line, which apparently is now
the German intention, and so giving less time for or
ganizing for another offensive, which it is claimed is the
German leader's plan. The attack first at one point and
then another and finally all at once is keeping Hinden
burg guessing, and at the same time preventing him
gathering an extra force at any one point. He needs all
his men, and he needs them at all points along the line at
once, under Foch's plan of attack. It is estimated that the
German army when it gets back to the line from which
it started last March will have lost around 400,000 men,
besides much of its morale. So far as results are concern
ed, this is all it has accomplished. It is not an extra fine
showing for the summer's work.
It is predicted now that a new peace drive will be
made-by the Central Powers, it coming this time through
Hungarian and Bulgarian sources. It will be made by
those who are ostensibly opposed to those governments
at home, but it will be fuu ml that their efforts are paid
for and that they have consented to be the camouflage
for a financial consideration. Senator Lodge struck the
keynote when he declared we could make no separate
'.ponce with Turkey or Bulgaria. They, he said, cast their
lots with their masters, and they must stand or fall with
them. Turkey must be expelled from Europe and her
hands tied in Asia so ulie can no longer murder the Ar
menians and others who are, or who may hereafter he
under her. rule. Bulgaria sees the handwriting on the
wall and could easily be persuaded to make a separate
peace, but no terms will be given her save such as are
laid down for the militarists of Prussia. Rumania must
he rewarded and Serbia must be recompensed for her sac
rifices. The eternal fitness of things suggests that Bul
garian territory, be made to pay part of ' these bills.
Neither Bulgaria nor lurkey cut i r.y figure in the war
now, save that Turkey controls the entrance to the Black
sea. and has Russia shut off from ; id by the allies. In
the final settlement she must be math to pay for this with
her European territories, and she must bo removed from
control of those world highways the Dardanelles and the
llosporus. Any peace terms offered now from any source
hack of which are the Central Powirs should be treated
as Germany used the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality
of Belgium. It should be considered simply a scrap of
paper, and rather dirty paper at that, which it sureh
will be if it passes through Hungarian or Bulgarian
hands.
The Commercial Club should be made bigger and
stronger than ever before. It has done good work dur
ing the past three years and most of the criticism direct
ed against it is based on trivial matters or the prejudice
of those who know nothing about the work of the club
and have m no way aided it, either with their monev or
their personal efforts. While there is little in the way of
community-building that can be done now. with all ef
forts centered on the war, the commercial club is the
central organization in all this work and without the fa
cilities it provides the Liberty loans, Y. M. C. A. and Red
Cross drives would prove dismal failures in Salem. The
club rooms, too, is the meeting place of committees and
conventions representing all public movements in the citv
and many of state-wide importance. The capital city of
Oregon without the Commercial Club rooms during the
coming session of the legislature, for the accommodation
of visitors and state civic organizations would be very
roundly criticized for its lack of public spirit and civic
enterprise. There should be no slackers among the busi
nessmen and substantial interests of Salem when it
comes to support of the Commercial Club.
Recently Spain sent word to Germany that if any
more of her ships were sunk by German submarines, she
would substitute an equal tonnage of German ships now
interned in Spanish waters. To this Germany replies
that should Spain do this it might cause "a break in the
present friendly relations between the two countries."
She says she cannot give up her submarines which are her
itrongest weapons, and that she will therefore continue
to sink Spanish ships, but hopes Spain will see her way
clear to remain neutral and in time to really like the
treatment Germany is giving her. This incident shows
the devious ways in which the Prussian mind reaches its
conclusions, and also its absolute lack of all sense of fair
ness. Germany says the taking of one of her ships now
being protected for her by Spain will cause a break be
tween the countries, but cannot see why Spain should take
offense at her sinking Spanish ships wherever found.
Anyone with anything to think with would hesitate long
before deliberately taking such a position before the
world.
Good-bye to you boys of 'Cl-ftl Hone vou mav come
again, though we hardly expect it. At the same time if
you do you will find a welcome still more hearty, if that
is possible, than that you have just leceived. It has been
an honor to the state to have you visit us. and we are sure
glad you came.
In the early day what ii now Ma

The first will filed and now on rec
ord in the couutv recorder' office is
dated April 2o. 18.1:1. It is the will of
Mary Roy bequeathing to Jean l'ara
!i the laud given him by her husband,
Thos. Hoy, before he died. In the will

ant as executor and instructs them
not to fail to give the land in question
to Taradis and to cultivate her own
farm for the use of her children. She
also instructs the executors to keep all
the rattle ou the farm unsold for the
benefit of her children.
The second will on record in Marion
comity is that of 1'lavius Laiguon. He
first states that he makes his will as
"an incurable malady i about to ap
pear." The will reads in part as fol
low: "I give power to Alexis Labcach
on, my friend and neighbor, to collect
after my death all the effects of my
estate in order to keep together said
effects for the benefit of my relatives
if they Bhould ever come to declare
themselves." Herbert l'ettt of French

ing: "1 declare these to be my ameers

Mathieu will support mv hand and may
