R05EBURQ NEWS REVIEW, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 19J3. PACE TWENTY-ONI The Sportsman's Paradise By GUY CORDON, Roteburg O ' Jte dollar-making possibilities of T us l a County are more or less her 2 d to the world, with a view to in teracting honieseekers and indurlng then to come Went and grow up with the country, which is as it should be; but there i another asset ot Douglas Cc tv that is not known as it should r , one that is, in the final analysis, t vastly more value to humanity than C t be computed in terms or money tie health-building asset ot our bis doors. ttow many residents of Douglas County realize the real value of the Biles of open at their doorsteps? We t 4 so accustomed to the nearness ot wooded hills and mountain streams that w e cease to reward them as any thing more than an incident to the landscape, when in very fact they make for us a wilderness puradise. There Is no day in the year that we have not some out of door -sport to enjoy. In midwinter really, what do we know of winter, come to think of it? We have duck hunting and salmon trout fishing. Spring brings ua the Koyal Chinook, king ot game fi.sh, and mountain trout in a thous-j and streams; likewise strawberry; picking on me nuts, wnicn is a lavor lie sport of several of us. Summer opens the whole gamut of sport just think of what you'd rather do, then Ret going and do it! Fishing, hunting, tramping, mountain climb ing, busting, swimming you name it, and it V; here. Kali, and bucks in the hills and pheasants in the grain fields; not to mention a dozen kinds of fish ing, river and creek. Or maybe you don't fancy such rough sports. Well, there is golf at the Country Club, or trap-shooting at the Hod and Gun Club or you can scan up a pinochle set at a pinch. lattery Repairing Is Our Specialty Expert Repairing on All Makes of Batteries When You Need a New Battery, Buy an .

The Lord has surely directed our feet into pleasant paths; and then we have gone one better and widened those paths into flivver roads iliat tuke us right Into the heart of Jungle land in a half day at the most At any point along our paved I'acifio High way or our railroad, we can turn to right or left and in half a day be in the tall wilderness. And it isn't a man made wilderness, either: it's the pure quill, and it doesn't take you long to begin to see things with red eyes all aroundi you. City folks pay literally millions every year for Just a few days the like of which we have the year around: and once the world knows what we have here iu little ol' Douglas some of those millions or a part thereof will begin to trickle hereabouts; and I'll venture to prodlct that no seeker for the out of doors who ever comes to our hills but will thereafter hoard his shekels like a miser that he may come again. What? FRUIT INDUSTRY (Continued from Page 17) acreage and let some of the present orchards die from neglect. During the past three years many hundred acres of orchards have been destroyed because of their neglected condition. They were neglected be cause they were not profitable. They were not profitable because they were planted on hind not adapted to fruit growing or because wrong varieties were used, or both. Many more acres will have to be romeved for the same reasons. Grape growing is an industry that should be encouraged. There are many acres of rolling land not very valuable for othor purposes that will grow grapes very successfully. If in the hands of proper persons this branch of fruit growing can be made a verv good success. A few words to the "man behind the gun." As in nil lines of business tho success of the fruit growing venture depends large ly on the man. This man need not be a Solomon, or even a senator, but he must have an abundance of the qual ity that is lacking In so many of us, known as common kense. He must be s willing worker .and also willing to learn. There are r.ew problems coming tip every day, and tho man who will not take hold of new ideas, adapt him self to new conditions will surely fail Above all the man must love the bus iness to the extent that he is willing to live witn it day and night, in cold in beat, in the rain and sunshine.

Her I resources are varied and unexcelled ' a great State carved out of the ' wilderness by the pioneers, who ' were the cream of American man hood; and empire builders with a vl-1 sion to see, and a will to lay. Ore-1 gon's foundations deep and broad; I ever Inspired with a love of Justice, i patriotism and progress. Oregon of-1 iers unexcelled opporiuniies to the , hustlers and home-bunders. To the stockman she beckons and points i to her great cuttle ranges. To the : grain grower and farmer she says: ! Your efforts shall be rewarded as the soil is verile and fertile." To the fruit grower she gives a royal i welcome and laughs with pure do-1 light as she points to the fine or- chards with trees bending under I their loads of lmlous fruit of all varieties, all kinds growing to per-! fectlon and successfully competing ! in the markets of the world w ith ull i others. And to the berry growers I an truck garduer an abundant re turn is assured, as Oregon is a na tural berry producer, the fruit grow-l wild in many localities, and most ' delicious. To the lumberman, Bhc I says: "You. too have a chance, and I are welcome, as Oregon has large I areas of fine timber and virgin for ests." For the sportsmen and tour ists we have lots ot game and fish i that will delight the heart of any lover of the great out of doors anil afford bushels of fun for the fellow j built that way. When it comes to wild and changing Bcenery, Oregon is a paradise for the nature lover. with her evergreen mountains, whose snow carped peaks pierce the clouds that shroud them like a brid al veil. Her crystal springs, streams and lakes, with many waterfalls, are pure and beautiful, far beyond thu efforts ot the writer to describe. I doubt if there is anything in America that will equal Oregon in scenie beauty, and especially along the Columbia highway. Surely noth ing can exceed it. On one side via have r,ugged mountains decked with all sorts of colors and blendings, an ever changing panorama of beauty and delight. The waterfalls that leap from the steep cliffs with mad impetuosity and break into foam and sparkle like mlllons of diamonds in the brilliant sunshine. Truly a royal diadom. On the other sulu ot the majestic Columbia, which at times and places rivals a silver torrent passing '.hru and yet a part of an ever changing and gorgeous landscape, far across tho river are hills aid valleys that lend enchantment to the view. The scene as a whole Is sublime and in spiring. It soeius so fresh and direct from the hand or the Great Archi tect and Divina I'alnter. Here the Builder of the uulverso has surely shown his heart. He has lavished love and beauty and created a mas terpiece of art. Oregon stands out distinctively in the matter of climate, pure water ! and healthfulness. The state has wet, dry and intermediate zones and everybody is welcome here anil in- ( vited to take their choice. With the , completion or the I'ncific Highway next year's touriHt travel Is promts- j lug big things, because auto owners i can travel cheaper and stop when I and where they please than under ! the old system of rail travel. Then i the lateral roads lead to so many inviting spots throughout the state, j and travelers can go and come, visit- ing all the beauty spots, which means thrit Oregon will ot a large increase in population iu the next ten years, because when tho piblic comes to knuw that the state is free J from the extremes of heat and cold, and that no severe storms are ex-1 ptrlenced here, many will want homes in this delightful land, and , an excellent and inexpensive way to i aid homo seekers and tourists to ' learn more about this state is lor tach of us to constitute ourselves a committee ot one to give them tho best inlorniatinn possible about Ore- ' gon, and with absolute fairness to ward all Inquirers and concerning every locality. Let us remember that : a smile of welcome, a cordial hand-! shake and courteous treatment! makes a strange country seem heme- j like to the visitor, and he wUl feel j that among such people, and In a j country where nature has do.ie so much, he can make a real home. Home, that, sacrea spot wnere seei menior'e' cling, and so dear to the heart of ell real men and women. DIFFER in THEI3 MERRIMENT Boys Snicker, and the Incident Is Closed, but Girls Will Gigjls for Days Afterward. The question often arises, "Do girls giggle inure often than Ikjjs?" They do, fur the reason Unit boys do nC giggle. TI.e.v snicker. The giggle Is of nervous or hysterical origin, a condi tion largely given over to femininity. The bey sees something that apl'i-nls to his reasoning as funny and under circumstanei s that tho hearty laugh Is not entirely In place, he snickers. Having snlikercd, that Is the cud of it. Hut the giggle g-x-s on forever, or nearly so. A class of schoolgirls sees something1 which arouses their ri bllitles, and for hours or perhaps days afterward, they continue t giggle. Tho Incident itK.-lf may liavo pulsed Into obscurity, but at odd or uncxiiected moments Uier will be outbursts of giggling. Tho boy's reason snickers at the In cident, whereas the girl's Instincts glj gle nt the memory. It mint bo said, however, In behalf of gtgglinc. that it Is an unwl.lh rai-tlmp, for the giggle, alone Is lust to Impossible. It takes at least two to inaki a c'ji'le. Ex Cbiui .
