FOLLOWING THE DREAM
H
IT-ANIHtL'N driven are among
. A middle-western millionaire hus bought a yacht and is
on his way to the Pacific ocean to look for a sunken island
paradise which was revealed to him in a dream. Dreams,
in themselves, are hardly enough evidence even for rich
men. So this man, before buying his yacht, went to Califor
nia, chartered an airplane, and flew out over that part of
the ocean where his dream had told him his island lay
buried. Lo! there it was, some 15 or 20 feet below the
surface. So now he's going out in his yacht to give it a
thorough examination. He plans to build a breakwater all
around the place, pump in sand from the bottom of the sea,
and make an island vacation spot out it of. This business
of looking for island Edens in the Pacific is not new. The
old Spaniards had the idea just as deeply implanted as this
modern millionaire. In their day, just as now, it took a
good deal of money to go on such an expedition. One had
to buy or charter a ship, or a fleet of them, hire crews, lav
in a great stock of provisions, get the consent of the king
and the blessing of the church and then sail thousands of
miles across almost uncharted seas. Hut there was this dif
ference; all of the places the old explorers went looking for
were right on the surface. There was no need to build
breakwaters and install costly pumping systems. The ocean
fairly teemed with islands. A ship simply couldn't mis3
them. Most of them had never been seen by white men. Any
valiant adventurer could take possession of one and leave the
life of Europe forever behind him. Now, of course, they've
nil heen discovered. All that's left to a man who is guided
by a vision is to pull up the bottom of the sea, wipe it off
and make an island where formerly there was nothing but
ocean. It's a lot harder, and the resulting island, being syn
thetic, can hardly be quite as satisfactory. However, that's
the way it is with nearly everything in this modern world.
AH of the frontiers have been pushed back. The era of hard
facts and automatic machinery is hard to escape. Just th?
same, cscae is still possible. You have to have resources,
of courso. Not money; unless you're after a definite, phys
ical place, that won't help. Resources of less tangible form
; imagination, character, vision are what you need. With
them, you can still get away. The seeming limits which
modern knowledge has put on the spirit won't bother you.
You'll be able to see and go beyond them, knowing that life
lis still what it was in an earlier, more credulous day a
great, uncxplainablo mystery, with room for definite ex
perience of beauty, terror and joy. That remains true, no
Tnatter what the glib psycho-literary folks may tell you. The
-islands are still there; you just have to go under the sur
- face 'a little to find them. 1
; o
It is patent to any thoughtful person that four service
-clubs working along independent lines cannot accomplish as
'muih for Uoseburg as all four working in unison on a com-
mon program. Duplication of effort and conflict of methods
Tare inevitable under luck of coordination and the ultimate
'. result will bo practically negligible from a standpoint of ap
preciable progress, thus representing wasted labor, time and
funds. This fact has been demonstrated in many other
cities where there was a lack of unity in civic promotion,
and perhaps it applies with equal truth to past experiences
' in Uoseburg. At least this seems to be the view of our new
; chamber of commerce president, A. C. Marsters, who quite
appropriately begins his duties with a plea for coordinating
- the promotion work of all the service clubs in the city, pro
' liminary to a drive for funds to finance the year's activities.
.His plea should bear fruit. The old axiom that "in union
there is strength" applies to the present situation as regards
Rosoburg's advancement. Organizations working separ
ately are within proper scope when purposes are dissimilar.
Lut they should present a compact merger when the general
"progress of the city is the goal in view of all concerned.
o
: When the I'.rilish undertake to deal with a puzzling
admit a great deal of satisfaction
lu the action of Municipal Judge
SUdter of Portland In passing out
penalties to dome of this variety
yesterday. Three drlvera wim
struck pedestrian and then sped
on without offering assistance
were given both tines and jail sen
tences and their licenses were rt
rnked for a year. It Is nothing
short of astounding; to observe the
audacity of a hit-and-run driver, lu
our opinion lie la one of the wontt
type of criminals with whom we
have to deal because his weapon is
so deadly.
SOMKONB HAS aptly remarked
recently that the pedestrian is'
either "the quick or the dead."
And that's about the case, too. Vlsi-1
tora to California find this especial-!
ly true, although loyal ('a)lfnrnlaru
will deny It. The fact remains, how-'
ever, that In the larger eitles the ,
more athletic one's constitution the
better his chance to avoid injury.
KK.NATMK JOK MINNE says It's
no use for a man to go to the state
senate. "It's like a boy spitting
against the wind. It all blowa back
on him and musses him up," news
paters quote him aa saying. It has
always been our observation. Sena
tor, that wherever lawmakers are
gathered together there is plenty
of wind In circulation.
"DO SOMETHING for the other
fellow each day." So advises Na
than Straus, New York merchant
and philanthropist, in a newspaper
interview given on his 81st birth
day. Because he has followed this
rule this noted man has not had
time to become ill, he said. In
el,-ht simple words thi3 financier
has laid down a complete set of
rules of conduct. Therein Is In
cluded most of the Ten Command
ments. It Is to be regretted that
most of us can not or will not heed
aucb sound advice.

( 1 could spenk to all our youth,
Td put the accent on the truth
This brilliant man has here declared
W ith all our youth it should be shared,
For here's a man who's climbed the heights.
Has soared on many daring flights.
And, from experience wide and vat,
Proclaims a truth we should hold fast.
No man can ever climb so hijh
Or breathe the, air so near the sky,
But what a kindly brother's hand
Will cheer him on to bravely stand.
1 here is a grace in fellowship
Which nerves us for a stronger grip.
And, though the cheer's from one unknown.
It helps give strength to stand alone.
'Tis good to hear approval's word,
T find a fiiendly heait is stirred.
To know the thing we strove to do
Looms nobly in another's view;
l hat though we failed to reach our mruk.
Men saw our purpos through the dark;
I hough sometime lailure blurred our scheme.
They gave us credit lor our dream.
Let t nlwny? jeak the word of cheer
Of ail our speech it is most dear.
Let no man falter on lite trail
Because our neatly word shall fail.
Not only tor the man who's faint
Should we our hopeful pictures paint;
Let's give our cheer to him who wins
