TAKE THE MONEY.

During recent years Andrew
Carnegie and John Rockefeller
have entertained themselves do
mating large sums Of money to
churches and other societies; al
SO establishing libraries and so
forth. For a time all went we'll,
but Of late it appears that Mr..
Rockefeller is experiencing
trouble to secure the acceptance
of some of his contributions by
the churches and societies.
Various ministers seem to look
upon these contributions rather
as "blood. money" than other
wise. That they are doing what
they believe ito be right goes
without question, from the fact
that one must be strong in his
convictions of the evil of the
|act when he deliberately puts
from him, $100, 900 for instance.
When. a man does this it is safe
to presume that he, is very GER
tain that it would be a sinful act
for him to accept such a gift, even
| for his church.
Let us look at the matter from
a different: standpoint: Suppose,
as the ehurchman most likely be
lieves, that Mr.. Rockefeller did
not come by that particular $780,
600 honestly. Very well. If the
gift is refused what becomes Of
it? AS a matter of course, Mr..
Rockefeller retains the money.
He may not be able to find the
particular person, or persons, of
our eighty millions of people
from whom hesecured this money
so that he could return it to it's
rightful owners, provided he de
isired to do so.
Furthermore, if the money was
taken from the people, surely the
church would be right in acting
for the people and accepting these
|gifts. Possibly the donor con-
lsiders the. church the most prac-
Itical channel through which tc
return, justly, to the people that
(which is theirs. If Mr.. Rookie
feller obtained this money from
1.-THE people by unjust practices,
lit by right belongs to the people
and should be returned to them
through the assistance of the
4 church or any other legitimate
channel.
u If it is justly his own money
he surely has a right to give it
! away, has he not? So it seems
la plain case, no matter from
J, which side one looksat the mat
ter, that there is no good reason
for refusing any money that Mr.
Rockefeller may see fit to Civ,
away.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR US.

A matter Of great Importance
to our citizensss is river naviga-
tion, not alone for a w1smonths
Of the year, but for "a hours out
Of every ojj5 DAYS Of the year.
In order ~ bring about this
much-desired stateYof affairs
it is necessary that there be
a change in conditions.
What conditions? Conditions
that govern navigation on the
Upper Willamette; conditions
that restrict navigation on this
section of the river at certain
seasons of the year; conditions
that prohibit navigation alto
gether during the dry season.
Surely there has been but little
advancement made in steamboat
ing and facilities fol-. the same
during the past 80 or 40 years
that steamers have piled the Up
per Willamette during the rainy
season. For lack Of cheapest
possible transportation rates
many articles of produce are
not marketed it will not pay to
do so.
Everywhere it is recognized
truth that no means of transpor-
tation is so cheap as that afford
ed by water. This is in no sense
recalled as an argument against
railway facilities-let the rail-
ways handle it's share. There is
great need Of our railways of
course-we must have speed, as
we have perishable stuffs for
market; this is an age of rapid
transit and our people have no
desire to give up any of the good
things that they enjoy.
In order for US to enjoy river
navigation it is necessary for i'm
provements to be made on the
Upper Willamette. Can we Sc
cure this? Will our people act
together and demand recognition
of our needs? or will they ''let
things take their course, " as they
SO often do?
When we think of the great
works carried to a successful ter
mination by other people, we are
of the opinion that the task OF
opening the Willamette and keep.
ing it open for summer, as well
as winter navigation, so far ul
as Corvallis, IS mere bagatelle.
Water transportation is inher-
emily cheaper than that afforded
by rail, and in proof Of this state.
ment a little history relative te
the Erie canal from Buffalo, N
Y, on Lake Erie, to Troy, N. Y.
on the Hudson, may not be amiss
This great canal, which is
about 410 miles long, was the
conception of Gov. George Gin
ton in 1891. Work commenced
on it in 1917 and was finished il
1926. It has been enlarged some
three times and is soon to bt
practically rebuilt by the state
that it traverses and at a cost tt
the state OF $l31, 100000. This
shows what New York thinks Of
water transportation.
The canal is to be rs feet wide
at the bottom, with a uniform
depth Of IL feet and will carry
m-propelled barges of 1,OO(
tons capacity. This canal was
for a time maintained on a toll
system, but after it had repaid
it's cost it was made free. This
was many years ago.
1t is a noteworthy fact that
when President Roosevelt was
governor of New York he ini-
tiated and advocated that this
canal be rebuilt. Teddy is still
digging canals.

TRAIN KILLS AGED WOMAN
MRS. MARTHA VOLDING The VICTIM
Rock Island Passenger on Thursday Runs
Into Woman Eighty.Seyen Years
Old, And Death Results Within
Half an Hour Afterward.

Mrs. Martha Volding, 81 years of
age, one of the oldest residents of the
city, met with an untimely death in
the yards Of the Rock Island on Thurs
day afternoon.
Mrs. Volding during the winter
time had been living with her niece.
Mrs. B. Ramsey, in the first ward,
and in the summer lived alone in a
little cottage near the Rock Island
round house. She had been moving
her household effects from the Ramsey
home to this cottage, and had just
sent over dray load. She started to
go over to the cottage from Ramsev's.
crossing the tracks at point where
side track starts up an incline, from
which coal is loaded into the engines.
Just as she stepped onto the main track
the afternoon passenger was starting
out, and seeing it coming directly in
front of her she became frustrated,
starting across the track in the direc-
tion of the train, instead of going
away from it. She must have just
crossed the track as the pilot beam
struck her, as it struck her in the right
arm and side, breaking the arm and
inflicting an injury to her side. The
train was stopped and she was taken
to the STATEN, and DIR. Stevens called,
but the shock had been too much for
her to withstand, and she died about
twenty minutes afterward. A coroners'
jury was empanelled, consisting of
Luther Reed, Herman Tavener and +.
S. Putnam, who found that she came
to her death by being struck by the
train, in accordance with the facts as
related above.
Martha Olsen was born in Norway,
lly 9, 1918, and has been living in
America for a good many years. She
was twice married, the first time to
Bure Olsen and the second time to
John Olsen. They had no children.
She leaves sister in Norway and a
brother in Sacred Heart, Mimi. The
funeral services were held ON Satur-
day, Rev. j. q. Haugen officiating,
with interment in the Norwegian
cemetery.
