Humanity
Humanity lost much during the great war, but that!
which should most deeply wound its pride was the loss
of the belief in its own humaneness. Onco upon a time,
and that time was not long prior to J'JM, men believed
that real pi-ogress was being made toward abolition of war. ,
They fondly flattered themselves that they were not as!
other men had been in previous ages. They were more !
humane, they thought. j
They devised the Hague conference, which with full and j
i'ree representation of the nations, discussed pleasingly
and with some show of conviction rules for the mitigation
of the cruelty of war. To be sure, war had never been'
cruel, that is, comparatively, up to that time. War had!
proceeded by certain rules of honor and chivalry. There!
were prejudices against the use of chain-shot and agree-i
nients to grind to an edge not more than a few inches of
ilia fino rxf ouhrn, ' A ,i,l tn lt.i.nw. , f .......4- ..I- U
b.vstematically to codify all the rules safeguarding humane
principles of warfare. It made agreements about dropping'
explosives from Iwlloons and airships; about ruthless de
struction of properly; about the rights of lum-combatants ;
about calibre of guns and construction of missies. There
existed a peculiar horror against the use of poisonous or
asphyxiating gases. In fact this latter method of warfare
Vas regarded as totr'barliaioiis to lic"cont'(!n1pirit'.'d Iry 'oiir
refined civilization. To be sure, the Chinese in ancient
times had employed it. They had dropped over the battle
ments of their , walls kettles filled with l:u: :iing tar and
sulphur, a comparatively harmless form of chemical ware
;fare but regarded by the highly civili :l modern reader
of fiction with peculiar horror. These Chinese of olden
times had no claim to be called civilized.
1 Then came the war. Who cared for Hague agreements'?
.What method previously held in abhorrence was not seized
upon if it promised anything of effectiveness? What re
finement of cruelty ever known in the past was not, by
exercise of modern skill and genius, raised to a degree
of cruelty never dreamed of before? And the result is
that in the discussions of preparedness there is now no
mention of humane methods. The weight of the bombs;
to be dropped from the air in to be limited only by the
custaining power of the airship. The recent meeting ofj
the American Chemical society in New York city followed
by tho exhibition of chemical industry indicated that chem
ical experts are directing their researches toward the per
fection of war materials as much as to the service of tlu
arts of .pence. All sorts of predictions are made as to the
possibilities of suffocating entire armies, exterminating the
ciews of. ships and even blotting out the inhabitants of
vast areas' of an enemy's territory.
In the ;malter of man's inhumauily t" man, the world
seems to be making rapid progwwi.

7, Tremendous Growth
A short quarter of a century an tho automobile was
n curiosity. In the first five months of this year 1M2,8"2
automobiles were manufactured in the United States. This
production was more than one automobile to every 75 of
IMipulation.
In the automobile vvUtiy the world looks upon one
of the wonders of th ',rM and without doubt upon the
first wonder of Amtrxxn ir.rytry. Its magnitude is amaz

The Park Reports That
Fields Are Injured ;
Porcupines Also Out
La wed.
TH1C PARK (Special) Mr. and
Mrs. it. M. Htrutton from John
lay, visiting with their neice Mrs.
Jack Krown of I'ulon. were camp
ed at the Thompson place on the
creek. Mr. Urown. who Is a log
ging' contractor from North Pow
der, took them all for a Joiry out
ing. He alo reports u very suc
cessful senson at his logging busi
ness. They returned to I'nion
Sunday."
James Felker took a' Jaunt up
to the Vorks angling tor trout
Saturday returning home in the
evening. Mr. Kclker Is a well
known truckman of I'nion, who
Is at present huulin? lumber for
the lie's and Jacobs mills at North
Powder, having a contract of 7'U.
oou feet to haul from the mills to
the railroad. He reports success
at his business this summer.
. Iarence Vanorder. his wife
"Aunt" Maud, with I heir baby
"Chuck." returned home Saturday
evening after one week of a de
lightful visit with the folks of thv!
"Hlg Log Cabin" at the Forks.
Tli Mr son Kenneth, their son-ln-law
Frank Wigglewwort h and their
daughter Mary, came by team to
the Smith place walking the rest
of the way. They all went salmon
fishing. Altogether they caught
seven nice salmon and 62 trout.
John Willingham. camp tender
for the. forest reserve, took Mr.
Flynn, chief engineer, down the
trail to his car. He Will go to Ha
ker, then to Portland " where he
resides. :
The farmers here and in part a of !
Grande KomJe are complaining i
about tho ground hogs, which lire
in places taking possession of the I
fields causing much damage. It
seems that while their attention
has been directed to the elimina
tion of the gophers, ground an
red snuirrels. these others known
as ground hogs or woodch uclts
have multiplied to such an exten:
that they are becoming n pest, it
is understood that lhes same poi
sons and tactics are not efficient
for these animals. They do much
more damage than the others also.
They are much larger and very ac
tive. They swath down ' large
patches of grain as if trampled by
cattle. They work much like the
porcupine. ,
The porcupine Is another pest
!whlch hss done much damage to
the fruit trees, especially on those
farms close to the edge of the
wood. Jn t he winter time t hese
nuilled animals climb the trees and
strip them of their bark. In the
Miimtner they destroy grain and
smaller fruit. Frank Wiggles
worth killed 17 of these pesky ani
mals in about a week's time this
spring.
Hill l6herty came down from
the Big Meadows Monday. He re
ports the .sheep there in fine con
dition. The lambs will be shipped
the last of the month.
Miss I'rania K. Hunter, Charles
Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wil
son, all of Iji Grande, came by
auto on a salmon fishing party.
They all had dinner at the "Itig
Log Cabin", visiting with Miss
Hunter's parents. They ret urned
home in the evening of Sunday.
Miss Mary Vanorder rode her
pony up the creek Tuesday. Miss
Ida O. Hunter met her at the ford
of the creek ut Thompson's place.
Kenneth Vanorder went to work
with his team for Hob Waunker on
Big Creek Monday morning.
Joseph Iaiv has taken his hogs
to Haker where he will ship a car
load to Portlands He in now wait
ing for an empty car to load the
twine,-
. lister Miller was at the home
of his slner. Mrs. Lydia Vande
vanier Saturday and Sunday.
The creek is receding fast and
the water will be normal in a little
while. The salmon will then s'art
to spawn. Thyy are -much easi'-r
caught .when spawning as they
naturally are forced out of the
hidden places. They never spawn
befqre the water Is down to nor
mal, and then, where no salmon
were in evidence earlier sometimes
the ripples are just black with
them.
Hilly Volswinkler, of Island City
accompanied by his father, Os
wald and Mr. Herman, were up
the three forks ami caught their
limited number of fine rainbows.
