whether Il was not a Lack of the same
volitional quality that caused so many

to fail of being put to use. For there
was n period Of inventive skill In
which men discovered the bearings of
the many great forces Of nature. but
they failed to apply them, or rather
they failed 10 persist in applying
them. There was q phenomenal
awakening of the mind about 500

WIFE SUPPORTS HUSBAND
IN TRIANGULAR CASE

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-The old,
old story Of the man, the wife and
another woman, with variations,
came to light here today following
the arrest Of Helen Valentine, clerk,
charged with using the account OF
wealthy W. H. 0chsner, a consulting
geologist, fraudulently.
There are many reasons why he
should do for me what he did" the
girl claimed, explaining her use of
Ochsner's charge account to buy some
pretty things dear to the heart Of a
woman, and at the same time main
tanning 0chsner gave her permission.
Il never told her she could use
my account" said Ochsner, at the
same time admitting that he had
taken her out for little dinner once
or twice in his wife's absence.
And between the two sides OF the
eternal triangle, Mrs. Ochsner stood
yaliantly by her husband, suggesting,
perhaps, 1t was case OF blackmail.
At the same time she admitted she
knew all about her husbands little
dinner parties while she was away.

THE GOVERNOR TO THE NEWS
PAPER MEN,

In a brief informal talk to the edi-
tors, Governor withycomee, after de-
scrihing the excellent results Oregon
Is getting from its participation in
the San Francisco exposition, dwelt
upon the Importance Of Oregon offer
ing a square deal" to invested capt.
tai.
Il am absolutely opposed to pros
trating ourselves in any way in in
ducing investors to come here, and
l am and always shall be against any
thing even approaching the extension
Of special privileges" said Governor
withyeombe. But, on the other
hand. do believe that today It Is
absolutely imperative that Oregon
build up reputation OF Offering real
inducements and safety and square
dealing to those investors who can be
induced to place their money here.
In California | met eastern men Of
large means, More than one said to
me in effect that oregon's reputation
so far as its treatment of capital was
concerned, was not considered very
inviting. II seems to me that the
press OF the state should take hand
in this matter and should help 1t to
be understood that We are all desir-
GUS of having investors come here and
OF assuring them of square deal
after they come.
"Progressiveness in legislation is
excellent and the absolute safeguard
ing OF the public and of labor is or
paramount Importance. but these can
be accomplished without sacrificing
the investor. At least they can be
maintained and assured without in
any way discouraging investments.
Today Oregon needs millions OF dol
lars. We should do everything we
can to encourage the coming OF those
millions. They will mean for us the
development OF payrolls, and more
payrolls are the fundamental neces-
shy in oregon's development today
and for the prosperity Of its laborers.

SUCCESS OR FAILURE.

The present week will determine
the success or the failure Of the cam
paign for sugar beet acreage. The
amount signed up will then either
mean the building of a million dollar
factory and the establishment OF a
new industry that means also mar
ket for product of the valley, or II
will mean another bubble pricked.
The time has come when further de-
lay is dangerous, and the man who
has an acre Of his own that he
should sign up must attend to it at
once. Or If he has neighbor not
yet upon the roll Of honor. go to the
Office OF the sugar beet committee,
get q contract, and bring 1t back
signed. II you have no acres Of your
own to sign, get the other fellow to
sign. II every man gets into the
work, success win be the outcome.
The Grants Pass district is expect
ed to come to the front with $500 Of
the 5,00s acres required. And in
signing up that $500 payroll will
be created that will Of itself be bet
ter even than the factory. At the
low estimate Of 10 tons per acre this
would mean that the factory people.
under the contracts, would pay our
producers s125.000. There would be
NO wrapping or boxing charges to
come out of this, no uncertainty Of
markets, no handicap of freight rates.
But the indications are that the 10
tons per acre will be doubled, and
the distribution Of dollars likewise
increased.
A study of the practical side Of the
beet question by our farmers has
made the most of them enthusiasts.
They have seen the return that can
come from the beet crop itself. and
the further benefit the growing OF
sugar beets will be to the stock in
dustry. Not much more argument
along that line is needed. The ne
cessary thing now is action, imme-
diate and definite. This is too big
a thing for the valley to chance los
ing. 1t will not be lost If every man
does his duty.
