Then Lee Laws attacked me with the fire poker, a heavy mahogany stick, but Instead ot running, as no doubt he thought I would, I went straight at him and shoved my tlst Into his eye, and proceeded to deoor-ate his countenance properly, Lee emerged a poor second, which wae quite humiliating to his pride. "Then, In the meantime, we discovered a number of aloora belonging to our neighbors In Dig Valley. Infurmed them that some of their stuck was on the Laws range, and thoy came for them, coming direct to our camp at Corral) Valley, and we assisted them In gathering thslr slack. So.

of course, Laws knew that we had tlppsd them. Among Ihoso who rams were Anions Unrig and Henry Jones of Ills: Valley, John Htauton, John McArthur of Fall River valley, and others. short time after this episode, Laws atlnmpied to murder father from behind with a heavy olub, at Nick Hull's cabin. Father detected the movement by the shadow ot tho suit Just In time to throw up his hond, which deflected the blow slightly, yet lite bluw si'vered his hut brim, nearly snvored his ear, and fractured his shuuldur. Ho nmungud tu gain his foot, and ran down tho path toward the spring, opening his knife with his teeth as he ran.

When he reached the luvsl ground, where he had good footing, he turned on Laws with the knife, but Laws managed lo keep out of his way. Father never fully recovered from thai awful ins sv ta trwvwt iMesra.t.SLMT.orr.X A Meauure That Command Retptct The state legislature has passed a sales tax. It finally realised that the sales tax offered the only method of maintaining solvency of government in Oregon. The tax as passed is expected to provide sufficient money to rescue the state government from bankruptcy, to lift the state levy on property and to eliminate the personal property tax. Part of the revenue will be returned to the counties.

Fair-minded observers hold that it is the only way to meet the serious emergency. The state senate did the proper thing when it referred the tax to the people because it appeared inevitable that certain determined opponents would take that action if the legislature did not Any kind of a tax has hard going when it comes before the people. Regardless of its merits, regardless of relief it may provide in the case of other taxes, regardless of the disaster which may result from its defeat, there are certain to be great numbers of unthinking persons who will vote against the sales tax because it is a tax. That means teat the substantial, thinking citizenry of Oregon must be depended 'upon now to rally in support of the sales tax. The measure jis passed is one that commands respect' If it fails, confusion and chaos will result.

If it is sustained, Oregon's financial affairs will be placed on a sound basis. There will be money for relief purposes, for offsetting other burdensome taxes, for straightening out the affairs of the bonus and for the relief of local government Everybody will pay, but they will pay in tiny, sums according to their purchasing power. Let the thinking people of Oregon now come front in support of this measure. "Minnie, come and get your old grandpa stuff." From Bottom, Up I Only Direction A great deal is being said about the necessity for restoration of public confidence before the nation can start building toward prosperity. All of this, of course, is true and it is also true that there are hopeful Indications of a return of confidence to be found in the attitude of people one meets on the streets.

The writer has been surprised at the number of sound-thinking people who have voiced the belief that the present financial crisis is the beginning of the upturn. These people hold to the opinion that out of the critical situation arising at a time when the new administration comes into power primed for action, will come constructive steps that will really restore confidence, and give us a sound foundation to build upon. Pennsylvania railroad's president, W. W. Atterbury, said before a senate committee a few days ago: "The only way to beat the depression is to hit bottom and then slowly build up." If we are now on the bottom, which does not seem unlikely, then there is cause for the optimism we have heard expressed.

Furthermore, this feeling has been strengthened by the attitude of the new administration. President Roosevelt has lost no time in taking steps to meet the crisis. Smiling and confident, he and his advisors have prepared a constructive program. They threw up a barrier to protect the nation pending the convening of the special session of congress Thursday, and the national legislature was expected to enact the prepared measures immediately. It is certainly to be hoped that our good friends who insist upon seeing the bright side of this situation know what they are talking about The very fact that there is that tendency to look on the bright side is in itself a factor of no small importance.

(To the Ed-j Itor) In your Issue of February 13, there appeared an article by me relative to the Laws-Cnla- van episode ot February, 1882. I am enclosing a copy ot the full details ot that scrap by J. J. Calavan: "Prlnevllle, Oregon, "February it, 1933 Mr. J.

Calavan (Jimmy), the survivor ot the H. C. Laws attack, and am now 71 years of age. It was my brother, Frank, then 15 years old, who was shot by Laws, but only my horse was killed. After my horse tell I made my way on foot through deep snow back to the cabin at Cor- rall Valley, our camp, reaching there about 11 o'clock a.

m. This was February 13. 1882. Frank had arrived earlier, as he was mounted. After examining his wounds and making him as comfortable as I could, I mounted his horse and headed for Langell Valley.

In company with Dr. John Hall and Dave Kllgoro. we reached the cabin about 8:30 p.m. Frank was still living and con scious, but died about three hours later, 11:30 p.m. In the mean time Dr.

Hall and Kllgore had taken his statement ot the en counter and it was used as evidence In the preliminary hearing at Llnkvllle In March. 'Laws was not acquitted. His case was dismissed by the grand jury at Alturas, Modoc county, California, where he bad been taken on a requisition, on the grounds of non-jurlsdlctlon. They held the case should be tried In Oregon. Instead of returning Laws to the Lake county jail, where they got him, the district attorney, Mr.

Ewlng, ordered the sheriff, Hanks, of Lake county, Oregon, to liberate him, which he did. "At the September session In Lake county, at Lakeview, the case was taken up, using the testimony submitted at the prelim inary hearing at Llnkvllle, and found Laws guilty of murder in the first degree, and lBsucd a warrant for his arrest. This war rant was sent to Charles Putnam, then sheriff of Klamath county by appointment. Mr. S.

"If misfortune drives the master forth, an outcast In the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him, to fight against his enemies. He will not be bribed against his master. "And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master In Its embrace, and bis body Is laid away In the ground, and all other friends pursue their way; there by the graveside will be found the noble dog, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in ALICE HAMILTON.

It is necessary to give each one of the disabled the desire to work and to live. Indifference in such a case is the most serious factor. In a recent consideration of this subject, the Vocational Rehabilitation Service of the Department of Labor pointed out that two of the most difficult types of personality are the helpless type and the smart aleck type. The helpless attitude leads promptly to pauperization; the helpless attitude arises either from laziness or unwillingness to Improve. The smart aleck Is always seeking support from political or Influential sources, and simly does not want to be helped in any way except financially.

The first step in any type of rehabilitation service or voca tional education is the attention of a competent physician who will try to remove physical hand icaps by medical or surgical measures. For example, it may be necessary to operate, and sometimes it is' possible to get complete physical restoration. In other Instances, the use of a brace or an artificial limb will permit almost complete elimina' tlon of a defect. In still other cases a disabled person will be unable to seek employment be cause constantly using crutches. and a simple procedure permits avoidance of their use.

All types of vocational education and rehabilitation must, therefore, be carried out In as sociation with good medical and surgical care. After everything possible has been done by such methods, training, supervision, and proper placement of the dis abled person in a job to which he is especially suited makes a useful worker out of what other wise would be a burden on the community.
