Return Trip Along South Umpqua Saturday night, Sunday and Sun day night we spent nt the Diamond Lake lodge. 'Kaiiy Monday morn hiR we headed our horses west nnd started toward home. The lake Is 5200 feet above sea level. We climbed noother thousand feet around behind Mt. Ilailey and traveled for a few miles along the Roguo-Umpqua divide, thence in a northwesterly direction down niack Rock creek to tho Ttlack' liock ranger station. The Rhiek Hock look-out . station. directly above tho ranger station Is onp of thn oldest and host look-out stations In the forest. Those who havo not seen a look-out stntion in n national forest have missed an extremely Interesting sight. Ef ficiency and orderliness are the key-notes of those tiny forest 'eves " A visitor to one of those lonk-oiiUt Is surprised to learn 'bat the man In cbar-e of the sta Ho'i or the "look-out" as bo is called, must he koen-oyed. a mathomnliHnn: a fl-st rate aerial mapper, a cook, a telephone expert, and a porqnn of culm' judgment and steady nerves. They are a wonderful hunch of young fellows, I hose look-outs. It was a short day's ride Tues day to roach the road camp on the South 1 1 tr nana fifteen miles above 'I'll lor. The South Umpqua road is being extended as Tar as Camp Comfort but the construction work goes very s'owly for the rea son that the primary- work of the not expensive) road crew la to be at hand In event or a fire In the lorest. The scenery on the trip down the South Umpqua in not quite so go; g emu but tlmt e is something charming about the very tranquil ity ol litis btieam Oi.e ol toe beauty spots of the South Umpqua is tho falls about six miles above the mil of Hie load. These fullr I are known as the South Umpqua i Falls tn. J have a b. -dutiful setting. We saw salmon trying to fight their way over these falls as we stood there. Mrs. E. J. Lough had a fine sup per ready fur us at the road camp and after a few hours rest we came on into Hosehurg, and so the trip ended. i here is nothing extremely rough or dangerous about such a trip through the forest. Even without a guide one could scarce ly stray from the trails which are all perfectly marked giving dist ances, directions, altitude and oth er needed information. Splendid Fire Protection Record The men whose work U is to guard the Umpqua national for est against loss from fire are very proud of their record over the past eight years. Here are some figures on forest fires taken from tbe gov ernment records: In the eleven years 1909 1919 an average of 11, 277 acres of forest land was burnt over each year. In the nine years from 1920 to 1928 an average or only 850 acres has been burned over each year. During the period prior to 1920 the average number of fires annually was 50. During the last nine years the average number of fires per year has been 65. More fires with much less loss moans greater efficiency in stop ping the fires. This Is graphically shown by the fact that the average burn per fire prior to 1920 was 225 acres, while now the average burn per fire is but 13 acres. The total gross area Inside Hie nation al forest boundary Is 1,221,391 onrea. Just imagine the task it must be to keep fire loss In such a large ama down to practically nothing.- Pages could be written on the subject or the efficiency of Hie forest service organization which protects our Umpnua nation nl forest from fire. Suffice fo sav that during the peak of summer employment counting road con struction crows and all employes of thn forett sen-ice working un der Supervisor Neal tho payroll contains only about 130 names Translated Into dollars the cost of fighting fire In the Umpnua m Honnl forest has averaged only sfJIOO pr year for the past nine years, a truly remarkable record. EDISON TO KEEP BRAIN GOING TO HELP INDUSTRY (Continued from page 1) for the good acting we have had in silent films." "Is the Introduction of younger men into your organization, as a result of this contest, an indication of your retirement, and it so when will It take place?" "No, I'll never retire. It's un healthy." "Is there not a danger of serious unemployment if so much weight Is laid on college and technical eeducation and too many are turned out for the requirements of industry?" "Industry Is getting so complex that there Is an immense shortage of the right kind of men to manage affairs. It is getting more serious every day as science discovers new pneumonia." "What is tho next Invention or discovery you foresee?" "Utilization of natural products." "Do you consider the will to 'liliiig ..m i r.

Southern Oregon Gas Corporation 340 North Jackson Street Because of the many requests 1 which have come to the Douglas j county health unit for immunlza Hon, Dr. Herbert K. Kent, health I officer, will give loxin-autotoxiu immunization against diphtheria j and smallpox vaccinations at cost j to all who may wish it, he an nounced today. Dr. Kent emphasizes the import- j ance of having these Immunize- j tions made this summer before i school begins. He states that the ; toxin-autitoxin does not make the ( person immune until eix months j after he has received the' treat-; ments, and so Is powerless if given In the face of an epidemic. . Toxin-antitoxin Is given In a series of three injections, befng given a week apart. Vei ; slight, ht any, j reaction is experienced, and it j does not inconvenience one in vny j way. ' Dr. Kent will give these treat-! ments every Saturday mo. ihu; ; during the month of Atigu.it be-. tween 9:30 and 10:30 o'clock. Ho requests that appointments be made either In person or by tele phone prior to that day. U. S. ARMY AIRMAN CRASHES TO DEATH fAwiciatPft Vtpm Leaned Wire) FRANCE FIELD. Panama, Aug. 1. Major Paul T.

"There are three things which insure success ambition, imagina tion and the will to work. Of these, the will to work accomplishes the most; education of the right kind gets quicker results."

"Given the same opportunity af forded the winner of this contest do you believe your own success would have been greater or ear lier?" "Yes." "Will a similar contest be held inxt year, or at regular Intervals in the future?" "Uon't know yet." "Do you agree with the proposal of George W, Wlckersham that the states should assume the burden of local prohibition enforcement?" "No." "Do you think that the scientific experimental field affords as great opportunities to women as to men, and why were girls not included in this contest?" "Nearly as great.

The test is a written one and will be submitted in the form of a long questionnaire.
