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.

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

other exhibits were the shorthand

a speech made to a meeting of Mil
