They had recommended q wagon
road from the head Of navigation
on the Missouri to the head Of
navigation on the Columbia. AT
this time the head OF navigation
on the Missouri was Fort Benton,
Montana, and on the Columbia,
Wallula (Old Fort Walla Walla) in
Washington. The Mullen wagon
road, some 624 miles long, was
started by Lieutenant John Mullan
in 1859 and completed In 1862,
connecting those two points and
completing a transcontinental COM
mercial route. Mrs. Lettuce j.
Reynolds, one Of the earliest pio-
neers of Walla Walla valley, al
ludes to this in "reminiscences.
Boarding the steamer Colonel
Wright, she "found it loaded with
supplies for Lieutenant Mullan.' =
She was accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Abbott, who were on their
way to establish the first stage
line between Wallula and Walla
Walla. Mail service for Montana
was operated by pony express be-
tween Fort Benton, Montana, and
Wallula on the Columbia."
The story of Columbia river
navigation is Interestingly told in
fiction form by Nard Jones in his
novel "Swift Flows The River" In
condensed form it is well covered
in the following two paragraphs
from DR.. E. A. Bryan's Orient
Meets Occident:
All things were making for a
combination which began in 1859,
first by the Ruckles outfit, known
as the Oregon Transportation Co.,
and the Stark outfit, known as the
Columbia River Steam Navigation
Company, uniting under the name
of the Union Transportation Com
pany; and this was followed up,
largely under the planning of j.
G. Ainsworth and associates, by
the larger combination which, in
December, 1860, obtained charter
from the territorial legislature of
Washington for company to be
known as the Oregon Steam Navi-
CATION Company. Thus tn e

worth, and later the II. r. Thomp-
son interests above the Dalles-
Cello portage and their financial
hackers were united into q COM
pany which will always have an
important place in the history of
transportation, not of the North
west alone, but Of the nation. To
these were added San Francisco
parties operating boats from Port
land to Astoria.
The special charter obtained in
1860 from the Washington legis-
lature was dissolved and q new
charter was obtained under the
general incorporation laws of Ore
gon in October, 1862, with a CAPT.
tai stock of $4,000, 900, in shares
at a par value Of $500 each. From
the obtaining of the first charter,
Ladd and Tilton, bankers of Port
land, who had been hackers Of
sundry steamboat men, had been
large stockholders in the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company. j. c.
AinsWorth was elected president,
and with the exception Of one
year, held that office throughout
the history of the company. In
1868 the capital stock was in
creased S., 0OO, 900 and the powers
of the company enlarged. The
great company thus established
comes virtually to control trans
portation on the Columbia from
Portland to the head of naviga-
ton.
The head of navigation moved
up-river as transportation needs
demanded, many boats coming on

Historical Background.
BY Margaret Thompson

Reaching the mouth Of the
Snake, he took on q load Of freight
and started up the swift stream.
At Five-mile Rapids he found that
his sail was insufficient to carry
the sloop up. Men had said that it
was impossible His crew all proph-
isied disaster. The stubborn cap
tain merely declared, There Is no
such word as fail in my vocabu-
larry He directed his son and an
other of the crew to take the small
boat, load her with a long coil Of
rope, make their way UP the
stream until they got above the
rapids, there to land on an islet of

rock, fasten the rope 70 that rock.
then pay it out till It was swept
down the rapid. They were then
to descend the rapid in the small
boat. Very likely YOU may be up
set, added the skipper encourag-
ingly, but if you are, you know
how to SWIM They were upset,
sure enough, but they did know
how to swim. They righted their
boat, picked up the end Of the
floating rope, and reached the
sloop with it. The rope was at
tached to the capstan, and the
sloop was wound up by 1t above
the swiftest part Of the rapids to
a point where tn sail was sufficient
to carry, and on they went re-
joicing."
Another well-known river cap
tain, who began his career even
earlier, was an uncle Of Senator
Earl S. Coe-Captain Lawrence
Coe, who was connected with the
Colonel Wright, built by him and
r. r. Thompson in 1859 to carry
freight between Cello and old
Fort Walla Walla. In 1854 and
1855 the Mary and Wasco were
built above the Cascades. Interior
operations were hampered by the
order of General Wool closing the
region to whites. This order, how
ever, was revoked by the new COM
mander, General Williams S. Har-
ney, appointed to the department
of Oregon and Washington in
1858, who at once threw open the
interior to settlement, The Indian
treaties were confirmed by the
Senate March 8, 1859. A month
later the Colonel Wright made her
first trip, coming up river as far
as Wallula. A year later she made
the first steamboat trip up the
Snake river, of which Captain Coe
narrates as follows:
'"This was in June, 1860, Just
at the time of the beginning of the
gold excitement. The Colonel
Wright was loaded with picks,
rockers and other mining nipple
ments, as well as provisions and
passengers. Most of the freight
and passengers were put off at
Wallula, to 60 thence overland.
Part continued on to test the ex-
pertinent of making way against
the wicked-looking current Of the
Snake river. After three days and
a half from the starting point a
few miles above Cello, the Colonel
Wright halted at place which
was called Statewide, 81 miles up
the Clearwater from its junction
with the Snake. There the remain
der of the cargo was discharged,
to be hauled in wagons to the Orc
Elmo mines. The steamer Okanog-
an followed the Colonel Wright
within few weeks, and naviga-
ton on the Snake may be said to
have fairly begun"
It is interesting to note that now
at last, after half a century, one Of
the recommendations Of Lewis and
Clark was just being carried out

area to avoid creating "hollows"
since the long face is almost always
a thin face. Blend the rouge out
as far as possible to the hairline.
The mouth should be made rather
full at the sides-almOst as full as
at the center. A touch of rouge on
the chin will help to shorten the
face but go lightly.
The eyebrows should be rather
straight to carry the eye across the
face instead of up and down. The
hair should be arranged with full
ness over the ears but keep it off the
cheeks. The use of low bangs or
soft Curls on top without height
and partly covering the forehead
will be flattering. Avoid length in
the back. Do not wear V necklines
but use rather high necklines either
round or square. The fashionable
"boat-neck lines" are good and
chunky necklaces are becoming.
The triangular face is broad at
the jaw and tapers off to a narrow
forehead. Your effort should be
to minimize the jaw line and in
crease the width at the forehead.
Rouge should be carried low at the
back part Of the cheeks with faint
coloring below the ear and emphasis
on the cheek bone. Rouge is used
to shadow the face as well as to
add color. Lipstick should be APP
piled so as to avoid following the
downward curve of the chin. Keep
the color at the natural lip line,
rather square on the center of the
lower lip.
The eyebrows should be extended
fairly straight on the sides carry
ing the eye farther out at the mar
rowing part of the forehead. Ar
range the hair so as to give breadth
at the sides of the forehead by
using a low side part and keeping
the hair fairly fiat on top. Have
full swirls or curls on the sides and
carry the fullness down to the

jaw bones tapering off the curls
at the back in a low line on the
neck. V or U necklines are best.
Avoid square cut.
The inverted triangle face has an
extra wide forehead and cheeks
that come to a rather sharp point
at the chin.
Place rouge rather high on the
cheeks tapering the color far back
at the place where the cheeks begin
to narrow. The mouth should be
rather full almost to the corners
so as to add seeming width to bal
ance the upper part of the face.
A touch of rouge on the chin will
help to "tie" the lower part of the
face with the coloring in the cheeks
and make it seem shorter at this
point.
Bring the eyebrows downward
at the sides to hug" the eyes.
An unnatural upward curve to the
brows only tends to increase the
width from ear to ear. The hair
should be arranged softly over the
ears and a little forward on the
temples. A forward movement on
the forehead creates a heart-shaped
face which is unusual and interest
ing. Avoid any arrangement that
sweeps back from the ears and
temples or that has a wide, fiat

Science and the Draft
(New York rimesj

For about three years scientists engineers and educators have been protesting against the dragnet policy of Selective Service policy which though 1t did consider workers essential in industry made no distinction between research and truck driving Par ticary strong was the joint protest which was uttered few months ago by the American Council on Edu- cation and the National Research Council and which predicted that because Selectve Service industrial nrogress would be retarded twenty years Secretary Of War Robert P Patterson has made a proposal which recognizes the desrability of granting defer
 ents to young men who had their scientific education interrupted in order to engage in war research ac- tivties and nov wish to complete or further their education in scientific fields
 Good as this is, it is not good enough. The young men who will now be permitted continue their studies must have had least two years of service Ill some scientific or engineering activity. What of the many young engineers chemists and physicists who are still wearing a prvates uniform? And what ot others who deferred for occupaona reasons ana
 who wish to return teaching, research and produc- tion? And what of the thousands who will be nducted for police duty for at least two years in occupied countries? All these technically trained men ought to be returned to college to industry if the tempo ot technoogical progress is to be maintained.
 Great Britain and Soviet Russia drafted the last necessary man to fight yet both countries wisely recognized that the training of scientists and engineers
 must not be interrupted because of war The statistics speak for themselves of the to which we have been reduced In 94O about 10000 students were enrolled in eneineering courses alone the number is 40OOO And this at a time when in the reconverslon of ln- dstry we need all the technically trained men that we can muster The policy of the Seetcve Service never had sufficient justification.
