AIilla hung weightily upon his arm, and they dawdled, drifting from one side of the pavement to the other as they slowly advanced. Albert and Sa- die, ahead of them, called "gOOd night" crom a corner, before turning down the side street where Sadie lived; and then, presently, Ramsey and Milla were at the latter's gate. He went in with her, halting at the front steps.
 'Well, g'night, Milla," he said. 'Want to go out walking tomorrow night? Albert and Sadie are."
 "I can't tomorrow night" she told him with obvious regret. 'Tsn't it the worst luck! I got an aunt comin' to visit from Chicago, and she's crazy about playing Five Hundred and mama and papa said haf to stay in to make four to play 1t. She's liable to be here three or four days, and I guess I got to be around home pretty much all the time she's here. It's the worst luckl"
 He was dOleful, but ventured to be literary. "Well, what can't be helped must be endured. I'll come around when she's gone"
 He moved as If to depart, but she still retained his arm and did not pre- pare to relinQuish It.
 "WeII-" he said.
 "WeIl what, Ramsey"
 "Well-g'night."
 She glanced up at the dark front of the house. q guess the family's gone to bed" she said absently.
 "T s'pOse sO."
 'WeII, good night, Ramsey" She said this, but still did not release his arm, and suddenly, in a fuster, he felt that the time he dreaded had come. Somehow, without knowing where, ex- cepr that it was somewhere upon what seemed to be blurred face too full of obstructing features, he kissed her.
 She turned instantly away in the darkness, her hands over her cheeks and in a panic Ramsey wondered if he hadn't make a dreadful mistake.
 "S'cuse mel" he said, stumbling to- ward the gate. "Well, guess got to be gettin' along back home"
 He woke in the morning to a great self-loathiSg; he had kissed a girl Mingled with the lOathing was a curl ous pride in the very fact that caused the loathing, but the pride did not last long.

RENEW EFFORT TO GET
RECLAMATION INTO BONUS

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Efforts
to have the Smith-McNary reclama-
ton bill attached to the soldiers
bonus measure as a land settlement
option were begun today in the SEN
ate by Senator Kendrick, democrat,
of Wyoming. He asserted in a pre-
pared speech that the plan would
prove of lasting benefit to the ma
ton as well as of assistance to thou
sands of former service men.
Senator Kendrick argued that the
land settlement plan outlined in the
house bonus bill and discarded by
the senate committee would not
meet the situation and would be
lacking in both immediate and last
ing results. He contended that
thousands of soldiers who otherwise
would accept the adjusted service
certificate plan would accept land
settlement if given assurance of pro-
lection as he claimed was afforded
in the proposed reclamation mea-
sure.
Under Senator Ladd's amendment,
the treasury would issue legal ten
der notes to the extent of $2,500,-
100000 o. less, which would be paid
over to the veterans. The notes would
be retired over a period of 25 years
in equal installments. I.
To help make these PAYMENTS all
banks, banking institutions, trust
companies and banking partnerships
incorporated for or in excess of
100000, would be taxed to the ex-
tent of so per cent OF their profits
in excess of IL per cent and all other
amounts paid in taxes. Should the
funds from this source prove made
quate to meet the note retirements,
interest on the foreign Indebtedness
would be used, and should both
these sources prove insufficient, the
balance would be paid out of the
treasury. a... /
Provision would be made that af-
ter 12 months any holder of 800 or
more of the currency issued under
the bonus bill might convert 1t into
three per cent gold bonds, which
would not be tax exempt.

ceration of Alexander Howiett and

within the province Of a labor con-

dorse such an organization.

UNION MEN CAN
RETURN TO WORK
IN KLAMATH 4

KLAMATH FALLS, June 20
The Timberworkers' union is taking
no action to cancel the membership
of those who return to work, thereby
virtually creating an end to the local
lumberstrike. Action to this effect
was taken by the union at its regular
meeting Sunday, and was announced
yesterday by r, r, Canterbury, in
ternational president of the Timber
workers union.
Canterbury said the action was
taken for the best interests of the
community. He asserted that the
strike had not been called off, stat
ing that such action was directly in
violation Of the American Fedora
ton of LabOr's eight-hour-day policy
but as the situation now exists, he
pointed out, it is up to the men to
retun to work or not, as they them
selves may decide.
Cauterburys statement follows;
''There seems to much specula-
ton and misunderstanding of the
present status of the existing contro-
very between the lumber interests
of this section and their employees,
and of the action taken by the Tim
berworkers' union at its regular
meeting Sunday.
81 would like to make 1t clear tina
the strike order has not been re-
scinded and will not be at any time
in the future until the eight-hour
dav is restored throughout the in
dustry in this section. Workingmen
and women hold the eight-hour day
too sacred to cOncede a longer work
dav and can do nothing less than to
reiterate their stand for the eight
hour day.
"There are times, however, when
wage workers must bow to circum-
stances and accept impossible and
listasteful conditions for time, al
WAYS having in mind the ultimate
correction Of these ills.
"Realizlug there are those who
rave been driven to accept such CON
litions here at this time, the timber
workers organization is taking no
lction to cancel their membership
md in fact will not do so, and the
,rganization is convinced that hav-
ng been forced through economic
necessity to accept other than an
,ight-hour day will only strengthen
he determination OF these workers
q so conduct their affairs that the
eturn to the eight-hour day will
Ultimately be the result"

s. p. PRESIDENT WM. SPROUIE
GIVES OUT STATEMENT
OF FACTS
If Central Pacific and Southern Pa

Than Tehama.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2O.-Wil-
liam Sproule, president Of the South
ern Pacific company, today issued
the following statement, Where is
Oregon's interest" explaining how
this state would be affected by the
threatened separation of the Central
Pacific and Southern Pacific proper
ties. which have been under single
control since 1870.
With reference to the desire of the
Union Pacific to acquire the Central
Pacific, it may fairly be set down
by the people of Oregon as the in
tentlon OF the government that pub
lie interest shall prevail over the
self-interest of either OF the roads
concerned. The public is interested
in the best railway service, given
with the greatest convenience to
them Let us see what this means
for western and southern Oregon.
served by the Southern Pacific.
/. That the business of Orego~
Is not a primary matter east and
west bound is shown by the fact
that in 1921. only 1S per cent of the
cars Southern Pacific handled in
Oregon were given that company by
shippers for delivery to railroad
lines east OF Portland for destina-
ton beyond. This is less thap one
fifth of the business.
In the reverse direction the cars
received by the Southern Pacific at
Portland from its rail competitions,
were but 81 per cent. This is slight
ly over one-fifth of the business.
The markets for so large a por-
tion of the products of western and
southern Oregon are in the Pacific
coast group of states, particularly
California, and these markets the
people of Oregon now reach through
a single carrier without interruption
or complications.

be torn asunder, then Tehama. Calf.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Politi-
cal worries that had beset republican
leaders in the national capital since
the cold guard" met defeat in In
diana and Iowa, were swept away as
early returns from Maine and Min
nesota indicated the denomination Of
Senators Hale and Kellogg, both per-
sonal friends of President Harding.
Both Hale and Kellogg have al
lied themselves solidly with the
Harding administration and the de-
feat of either of them in yesterdays
primaries would have been as disap-
pointing to the "old guard" as was
the defeat of Senator New of In
diana or the collapse Of the repub-

Smith Brookhart was chosen as the

Leaders of the republican party,
as additional returns arrived from
Minnesota and Maine, pointed to the
victories of Hale and Kellogg as a
