Help Is scarce, so people in the towns got out and helped shovel the corn Into wagons, whence ft was i shoveled Into nny kind pi cribs that could be improvised. .The mayor pf Omaha' himself went out and shoveled corn, and the Worid-Herajd pictures him mopping his brow and filling his pipe after a muscular session on the business end of a scoop shovel. . " ' One way of providing com cribs was to go out and collect all the plat fence, of which there Is quite a little back here, that could be spared. Even the great Union Pacific railroad pulled- up' Its slat snow fences and hauled tbem free of charge to the places where they' were needed worst. When tied together in a ring and covered witli some kind of roof that will turn water, slat, fence makes a first-rate corn pen. THE World-Herald estimates that up to this week 43 per cent of Nebraska's 'threatened corn had been saved. When peo ple work together for a common cause, It's little short of astonish ing what they can accomplish. . It is no less astonishing how much' such enterprises can be helped by the leadership of an able, public-spirited newspaper. A lot of us in the business are be coming convinced that a news paper can help vastly more In ihls way, at the same time can become much more popular, than by trying to run the politics of its community. OUT of Omaha at night, and In to Chicago the next morning. And in .Chicago one must change cars, at the very least, and us ually must wangle his bngaggc from one to another of Chicago's seven passenger stations. -. What the brave new world will bring us is still pretty much of a mystery, but a non-wripkle-able suit 'of clothes and ?., non sollable shirt would help a lot--iilong with some magic substance in a vcy small bottle that when smeared over whiskers would cause Ihem 10 go up in sweet smelling smoke. ' . One might then be able to travel light enough to be un- annoyed by such episodes us car changing in a city whose railroad industry is so '.vast as' to make one union station a physical im possibility. . : . WHILE they're about it, inciden tally, the architects Of the brave new .world might design typewriter that could be folded up and carried fit a vest pocket. And it would also help If some genius of the coming age of 'plastics and such would con struct a hotel on the well-known, accordion principle, so that , it migjif be puljetj out 'indefinitely in' pleats, each pleat expanding info a room with bath That would lake a lot of the fuss and worry out of travel especially If hotel rooms are even half as scarce In .'the brave new world as they are now. ' 1NOR note: Eating places in Chlcaco provide butter, but By Charles V. Stanton THERE is a definite trend in the Oregon State LcgiBlature toward fish and game conservation, as evidenced in the large number of bills already introduced with more still to come. It also is evident, from votes taken to .date, that bills promising to improve conservation methods are likely to meet favor. We have been commenting at much length on legislation, pending and proposed, affectjng fishing in coastal streams, but numerous other matters concerning fish and iyildlife are before members of the legislature. There are bills which would close certain small streams and lakes; bills prohibiting use of motorboata on some, lakes; programs for beaver control, preation of game reserves, ad justment of bounties, etc. One important measure, House Bill No. 157, would give the state game commission power of .eminent domain to, pro vide access strips to fishing streams and to open trails along river banks. This measure is proposed to repair damage done on some streams, such as the lower Rogue, where long stretphes of the, river banks are privately owned and access is denied tjie public. As more and morS river frontage is' acquired by wealthy people, opportunities for the less fortunate to enjoy lishing and recreational privileges will decrease. There js considerable feeling that commissions should pot be granted additional powers to condemn private property. But there also Js the probability that, should H. B. 157 be passed, the knowledge that the game commissipn had such power would prevent many land owners from denying use of trails along fishing streams. ' The power which H. B. 157 would confer upon the game commission already is in the hands of countv courts. It is i en I . . .... . . . . . . "j ju ouvn mug;a) wiai liaa uvii ji vj',uni;u ill I.J1C ou-umicu Reedsport plan for developing recreational facilities in Doug las county. But, as we have pointed out previously, county courts are usually timid in initiating innovations such as the one pro posed .by the recreational committee. County courts, in many instances, might be reluctant to use the power of emi nent domain in acquiring land from personal friends or from persons controlling a considerable number of votes. But if the game commission also has the authority, county courts might be in a better position to carry out a prograni, while land owners would be less apt to hold out in opposition, knowing that the commission could step in if county courts Were unable to obtain agreements. ' But the land owner also should be given careful considera tion. We are not upholding the right of wealthy people to! use their riches to buy up extensive recreational areas for; their own selfish use, but we are thinking rather, of the j farmers, wio suffer continually from acts of so-called! snortsmon Svho leave urates ouen or unlocked, break down.

We would like to see legislation that would impose most severe penalties, including mandatory jail terms, upon any persons willfully, damaging pr destroying property while hunting, fishing, or otherwise occupying property npt f.heir own. If H. B. 157 is passed, as we hope it will be, it will act to preserve fishing rights for all people equally in days to come. But, whether the game commission or county court sets up access ways, every precaution should be used to treat the land owner fairly aud safeguard him from damage at the hands of those who have no respect for property rights.

(AP) Three hundred and sixty Aleut natives, who don't want to remain in southeast Alaska iccause it has "too many trees," uill be homeward bound within a few weeks to the barren Islands from which they were evacuated when the Japanese In vaded the Aleutians in the sum mer of 1942. Hon Foster, head of the Of fice of Indian Affairs, said he had completed plan with the army and navy to return the natives from the three south east Alaska localities Jn which they have been living. Kcscttlemcnt officers will go along, taking with them sup plies and material for restock ing cooperative stores and re building villages. Teachers will accompany the refugees.

DOWNTOWN morning is Chicago this a dull and de- serteU looklng spot. Dolying Into the morning papers, one finds what may be a reason. Last night was a Saln.ilay night, and It seems that a l'rt of people Jumped to the conclusion thai It was probably the.

SETTLE IT NOW Portland Oregonian The anglers' and conservation ists' coast stream measure, com prising certain additional 'restric tions on commercial salmon fish ing. Is due for a vote In the house. The Oregonian repents Its opin ion, widely shartri, that thiji bill should bo approved. The sports men have done' their share to ward making concessions, since they have co-operated for the en actment of a commercia) fishery measure which would perpetuate the great Columbia ' 'industry. They have now a l ight to expect something of co-operation in re turn. There is no fcnse in' lead ing any longer. This newspaper has a w ord of advice for those elements of the commercial fishery camp I hat may try to defeat or emasculate the roiistal streams' measure. They'd hotter look out. This meas ure llself is a concession to them, and half a loal ought to be bet ter than none. After all, the fish wealth or Oregon does belong to the people In general and our coast streams have been de pleted. If the anglers' bill doesn't become law. we predict that its wmliliuns will prove to have been mild uy contrast with those of an eventual' measure that will pass. The public wants fair play, ami. sufficiently prodded, will rise up and demand it. It will be much heller for" ull concerned if the salmon fishery dispute is arbi trated and settled, by mutual con eovton, lit the present sestfioti. ' ' Chas. J.
