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.

Really, when you stop and think,
where can you beat it?
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.

Oregon, in many respects, U uni
que and in class by herself. 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

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
