ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. MONDAY. JULY 13. 1925. FIVE E Federation TO form a more perfect union" was the animating thought of the statesmen who met to draft America's consti tution. Their problem was to Weld the sections they repre sented into a political entity that would function most efficiently and enduringly in the service of ' the people. 'A similar problem was pre sented nearly a century later to the organizers of America's tele phoneservice.Licensesunderthc first patents were being granted to isolated companies that were forming to introduce local serv ice. "A more perfect union" of these companies seemed, from the beginning of the telephone's adoption by the 'people, to be N essential, and so the structure of the Bell System was planned. This organization exists today substantially as it was then con ceived a group of companies, each preserving its individuality and applying local knowledge to local needs, but all federated into a single cohesive union in order that nation-wide, univer sal service may be provided.

Th 'battle of Oahu" may have been constructive and theoretical, and the winner may never be decided officially, but the 1925 maneu ver ol the United States fleet al ready have had a definite effect upon the cuisine and culinary ha bits of the residents of the ter- rltiry. Some authority informed tne professional and amateur restau rateurs of Laliaina, Island of Maul, where the ships ennaned in three weeks of minor maneuvers, that the fleet personnel subsisted entirely upon the favorito Am erican dish ot 'ham and." The result was that the menu of every restaurant, old or newly-built In anticipation of huge proftu from shore-going sailors, consisted solely ot ham and eggs, done In only one style. Ham and evfts for breakfast; ham and eggs for lunch; ham and eggs for dinner, and in between ail three and there were no other dishes offered to appease the hunger. Most ot the sailors after one or two meals ashore, fled back to their ships In Belt protection for a plate of beans. Hut the latest lnunovutlou is the appearance of a new cocktull, composed of milk, honey and pol, upon the menus of Honolulu ho-, tels. Hehlnd this wus a remark of Admiral ltobert E. Coontx, commander-in-chief of the fleet, at a bukilau or native fish feast given on the beach in honor of senior fleet officers and visiting newspaper men. Pol, the Hawaiian ataff ot life, la to the Polynesian what wheat is to the white man. Ground from the roots of the tare into a thick paste, it la eaten with the fingers or with a spoon in polite so ciety. An inquiring reporter, noticing Admiral Coontz apparently con suming his pol with a relish, ask ed him how be liked the back bone ot any Hawaiian meal. The answer told of the Admiral's many previous visits to the islands, hts liking for pol, and also adduced the information that the high command's daily breakfast In Ha waiin waters included a dish ot poi with an admixture ot milk and honey. "Poi with milk and houey. a la Admiral Coonu." has appeared since on the breakfast menus of Honolulu hotels. location makes exploration ex trrmenly difficult. However, on the leures where the formation are plainly visible, the faUen trunks of giant trees are in open sight and by carefully negotiating the precipitous canyon, the standing trees may be seen to reacu a hclKht of 60 feet or more. The dia meter of many of the larger spect nu-us is as much as five feet and a tree two feet in diameter Is com mon. "To view the work of time on the precipitous walls ot the canyon u is necessary to scale the ollfts ; and pass over the ledges made by the breaking away ot the solid rock. This weathering has gone far enouKh to open a passage into . the forest "that in reality honey-1 comas tne milslde. Where the tree trunks have been brought Into contact with the air, the wood has rapidly decomposed and left the bellow snails in the solid rock. "lly traveling along the ledges and breaking aw ay the loose ac cumulations of small scallngs, the hoiluw forest may be entered, one tree at a time, as the wall of the canyon is of solid basalt and the only openings are where the trunks of the trees offer perpen dicular shafts, most ot which are "'ill filled with the decaying wood of many centuries axo." Mr. Tardy expressed the opln slon iha turth 'exploration ,bf the site might reveal the presence of animal life of the period when the molten rock overflowed the forest.
