A Step Nearer.


 "The stables?" I asked What horses are therc?'
 Officers mounts; but there were several others tied at the hitch rail an hour ago. They appeared to be good stock; better even than the gov ernment horses
 1 could perceive them dimly, from where we skulked in the shadow of the building. l took a step or two forward, circling the house, so as to better approach the animals along the shadow of an orchard fence. l knew she followed close at my heels and, turning. got glimpse of her fright ened face.
 There is no reason why you should worry." said softly, taking her hands in mine. Now listen to me; your nerves are all unstrung; this nights work has been too much for you too much for any girl. And God knows you have done enough fir me already. Where are you stopping? Here at the hotel?"
 "Y-yes."
 "Then slip inside while there is no one hanging around; and get safely to your own room. There is nothing mare you can do. 1 will take enc of those horses wonder and be off, and know the country we'll enough to find my way. Once in the mountains shall be safe. You will do as l say?"
 To ny surprise, she looked straight into my face, standing motionless. She 1t was difficult to speak.
 You mean tkat-that I am to go tc my rcom?" she asked slowly.
 Certainly; that will be the safest and hest thing for you t. do. can mt tell ycu how grateful I am to ysu; nothing l can evar dc will repay the service you have rendered me You are wonderfully brave girl"
 Do you think So? Oh, but am neither brave nor wonderful. 1 have scarcely known what l was dNing; it didn't seem as if there was anything else I could do. But I know now; nave uO uOuUl any HUI uhiSoo unless you refuse to let me-"
 T refuse! l do not understand what could refuse. All that remains is for you to go to your room. You will be perfectly safe here"
 How will I be safe here?" she asked Indignantly. Do you suppose they will spare me, merely because l am a woman? This has not been done in secret; there are too many who know my part in your escape to ever keep the truth hidden. Colonel Pick ney will have to make his report and shield himself from blame. There is not an officer here who will stand openly in my defense, unless 1t be Captain Fox, and he could not help me. Is it under such conditions you desire l remain here?"
 But da you realize what going with me will inevitably mean?"
 "Yes, I realize-not only the peril and hardship, but every issue involved. I made my choice back in the court house. It is too late to withdraw.
 She paused as though unable to find expression, breathing heavily, and her face sank until I could no longer see her eyes.
 "When-when I told Colonel Pick ney that-that you were my husband" she faltered, driven to 1t by my con- tinued silence, ''I spoke hastily, it is true; for my only thought just then was the necessity for saving your life. I felt that-that I could do no less. and-and desired to justify my ac- ton. Tbey-they had to know why did it; do you not understand? I-I

Eugene Gets Steamer
Service to Portland

Portland, Or, Oct. 4.-Bridges of the
Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric
system at Harrisburg, on the upper Will
lamette river, which are equipped with
swinging draws, are to be operated soon
for the passage of steamers, as the Ore
gon City Transportation company has
decided to place its Yellow Stack
steamers in service in Eugene, extend
ing service beyond Corvallis, which will
make the route from Portland 100 miles.
Captain Clyde Raabe and Captain A.
w. Graham are TO leave Eugene tomor-
row in a small boat and make a survey
of the river at its present low stage so
as to ascertain the exact condition.
The steamer Pomona is to start the serv-
ice, which will be maintained during
the deep water periods in the fall and
winter, beginning in about a month
The company has three steamers, and
as a rule one is out of service here, so
the extension of the route was deter
mined on.

LABOR'S SHARE IN PROFITS

Division of profits between employer and empOye is
vexed question that lies at the foundation Of nearly all
industrial discomfort
Many conflicting statements have been made as to the
shares of each under the present conditions but they
have always been founded on estimates and the concus
ions have not been trustworthy.
The most common statement among the workingmen
is that they get only onefth Of the profits their labor
and that capital gets fourffths which is clearly not a
fair division
But the National Civic Federation has made as care
fu study possible of all the statistics available on the
subject These cover about 100000 wage and salary
eaners, more than % per cent of the "gainfuy
ployed" in the United States.
The Federation reports that the average profit on
each worker in the industries covered by the investigation
after deductng cost of material and expenses $685. OF
this $500 66A per cent goes the average to the
worker and 5000, or 336 per cent goes to capital
The worker therefore gets two-thirds on his labor
and capital one-third This is better than onehfth but
that does not close the question of fair division

LONGER SCHOOL HOURS
FAVORED BY ELLIOTT
City Superintendent Believes
Pupils Should Be Kept
Busy

cit doesn t make so much differ
enee what the boys and girls study.
The main thing is to. give them habits
of study, industry, honesty and moral
ity, and perseverance to accomplish
"a duty assigned.
As expressed by Superintendent Ell
liott, in his talk lest evening at the
First Congregational church, the above
is really the principal consideration in
the schooling of the children.
In referring to vocational training,
he was of the opinion that the program
OF study that was adequate for the past
generation, would not do for the boys
and girls now in the schools. Formerly,
when the children were kept busy with
chores or work at home, there was no
occasion for vocational training, but in
our present way of living, where the
home cannot offer enough work to keep
either the boy or girl busy this voca-
tional training becomes almost neces.
sary. One of the benefits of education
is to keep the children busy, and this
can be done through manual training
for boys and the domestic arts for
girls.
With the great problem of keeping
the boys and girls busy, the superin-
tendent favored longer school hours,
not in the studying Of books, but long
er hours in the vocational department.
Until this year, during the hours in
vocational training, the grade teachers
were not busy but with the establish
ment of the Junior high schools, every
teacher S time is fully taken during all
school hours. In practical training for
the pupils Mr.. Elliott was of the opin-
ion that one fourth of the pupil s time
could be given to vocational training,
greatly to tae benefit of the pupil
DR.. Carl Gregg DOney expressed the
idea tnat any organization is just what
the individual members put into that
organization, and that the man who has
most in himself, will give the most.
As to the advantages of higher edu-
| cation, DR.. DOney claimed that those
VINO do the most for nation are the
most highly trained, and therefore, a
trained or educated man was of more
value as a citizen.
In referring to Willamette university
as an educational factor in the com.
munity, he hoped that the students of
| the university would be so trained
that they would become factor in not
only this community, but wherever
their lot should be cast, and that one
of the objects of the schooling here
was not only for a higher education.
but that of making industrious, high
minded and moral citizens.
