COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER , Member National Editorial Asso ciatin and Oregon Stato Editorial Association. , HARDING'S CRKHD ''.7 - THE COLUMBIA COUNTY PARK The automobile editor of the Oregonian recently made a trip from Portland to Astoria via Clatskanie and Mist, the inland way to the sea. He commented on the beauty and grandeur of the magnificent forest along the road rnd regretted that logging operations were making such Inroads on the big timber along the highways, thus destroying their beauty. In a very interesting and sensible article. The Oregoninn editorially spoke of the necessity of saving the standing timber along our highways, and this brings us to where we want to start on a suggestion. From our observations in Columbia county, covering a period of a few years, we know that unless immediate steps are taken to arouse the sentiment of our people to the necessity ot preserving the standing timber along our highways, Columbia county is doomed to be deprived ot one ot her greatest treasured assets. If we look back several years, we will be con vinced that unless some plan can be devised whereby the devastating hand of man can be stayed, the majestic trees now shading our highways ana adding beauty to our country, -will have been leveled to the ground and acres nnd acres of bare stump land will remain to mock the eye. Already, some of the most scenic roads have been denuded of the timber along side. Take for example the road from Yankton to Trenholm. Only three years ago this road wound through forests. Today what is it? only a road on barren hills except for the hideous stumps which remind you of the days before the timber taller camo there Admittedly our timber assets are to be considered, but there is another asset which should also be consider ed and that is the natural scenic grandeur and in no part of Oregon have we grander forests than In Co lumbla county. If you are skeptical of this statement, go over the hills to Pittsburg and then up or down the Nehalem and, after you have made the trip and wondered at the magnificence of the forests, the cool and inviting lanes between the stately lirs, think or what it will be several years from now barren hills and unsightly stumps. There's a place on the Nehalem called the Big Eddy. It Is only one of the beauty spots on the Nehalem, and nature has favored Big Eddy. The ground is level, the river is wide and the stately trees give their grate ful shade. It is an ideal spot for campers .and is located on the main highway.' At the time of writing this article, we know of several St. Helens families who are resting there, but In a few short years, the trees will have been fallen, the river will not be so wide and instead of a restful place of nature's grandeur, we will have a sluggish small river and a tract of blackened stumps. L. R. Rutherford and Clyde Suth erland suggest to the Mist that Co lumbia county buy a tract of land at this point and make ot it a park and the Mist believes they have the right Idea. Only a few years and the Pitts-burg-St. Helens road will be com pleted and It will be an hour's jour ney to Nehalem. Hundreds of St. Helens people will make the Journey at the week end. Columbia county cannot preserve the big trees through the entire Nehalem country along the river and road, but it can preserve a few of them. We have expressed our idea and leave it, it t has any merit, with the St. Helens Chamber of Commerce, and ask, that among the many good things they are doing, that they con sider the purchase "of a tract around the Big Eddy and Just as much more as they can so that in the years to come, the people of ,the county will have a playground and that a spot upon which nature hag lavished her utmost, will not be made unsightly and lost to Columbia county. Something can be done to save this spot and whatever is done, should be done right now. FREE SPEECH . . Many tears havo been shed ovei the tyranny of the American govern ment in prosecuting the members of the so-called Communist Labor "Party" which was organized at Chi cago last tall. Perhaps the most important leadei of the Bolshevik-Communists in America is William B. Lloyd. Any way, he's only second to "Ble Bill' Haywood. Lloyd, however, has mon- practlcabillty and vision which Amer ica, in her love for condensation, has chosen to style "pep." The successful, wideawake ana progressive town must possess the same qualities. It must have the judgment to realize that its prosper ity and growth depend on t no nonie advantages wnd business advantages which it can offer. And it must Wave vision enough to see that ex penditures which secure these advan tages are not an extravagance, but an asset. . Money spent in local improvements such as public buildings, schools, good roads, sewers, city water, gas and electric light. Is money well spent. Undertaking any of these im provements is like making an ex cellent investment, which is bound to return dividends. The gain to the town reacts to the comfort and ben efit of every citizen. who wents to live in a town with out "pep." a town which drags out Its monotonous existence without growth or Improvement? When the question of a local improvement comes up, stand behind it, "boost" It, work for It. vote for it. Install local improvements, and you will see your town sought by business enterprises and manufacturing. It i? up to you, Mr. Citizen. Stand up for local improvements first, last and all the time, and you will help make your home town a desirable place of residence and a progressive business center. i iii ii iijm j To safeguard A To stabilize A i ' X A am w swk .

Wsrmv-My Ue tkaar OUKOON TIMBER NOT EH FARMERS AND POLITICS We take it for granted that tarnr ers are doing a lot of thinking these days along political lines. But whether they are or not. they should With one of the most radical political parties that America has ever known endeavoring to gain control ot the government, it behooves every farm er and every citizen to think before jumping to a conclusion, says the i entralta Hub. No owner of a farm home in this jtate is or can be in sympathy with socialism, because socialism does not recognize that any man has a right to private property. But It is known that many farmers have shown their sympathy for the leaders of social ism, by affiliating with the Non-partisan League. This is dangerous practice, and farmers must know it. No right thinking man hus an objection to the farmer organiziu to correct any evils that mleht exist The great majority of the people of this state would be glad to have a large farmers' organization whose purpose would be to better farm life conditions. There is no argume.it on this soore. But because ot the fact that the great majority are oppooed to socialism, they are opposed to any flirting with leaders whose lives have been dedicated to socialism, which excludes them from the class of good Americans. Oregon's timber pays a large part of the state's taxes In some counties the bulk of them. The logging and milling of her timber supports the largest payroll of any Industry In the state. At a conservative estimate Ore gon's four hundred fifty billion feet of standing timber is worth $500,- 000,000 on the stump. Harvested tnd cut into lumber, its value is In creased twenty-fold and becomes ten billion dollars. Our system of good rosds Is pull ing Oregon out of the mud. Effective forest fire prevention will lift her forests, lakes, and mountains out ot tho smoke fog which conceals them and give the touring public a chance to enjoy the matchless scenle gran deur ot the state.
