Last week tho United States senate passed a bill to cre
ate a 100,000 acre national park in the Grand Teton range in
Wyoming. Who ever heard of the Grande Teton range? Few
people, except natives of Wyoming, perhaps, but thousands
upon thousands will know of it in the coming generation.
Tourists will seek it out, will carry prosperity with them dur
ing the vacationing season and they will, very probably,
see less in the way of majestic scenery and thrilling pano
rama than Eastern Oregon offers in the Wallowa lake basin.
We are losing the benefits of one of our greatest assets as
long as tho Wallowa country -retains the obscurity previously
enjoyed by the Grand Teton range.

Kubli Claimed that his mooauro
would save the stuto $65,000 a year'

GERMANY'S AMAZING. RECOVERY
The current issue of The Survey-Graphic 'calls attention
to the striking things that have taken place in Germany dur
ing the last ten years. A series of articles on Germany's post
war progress serves to emphasize the amazing way in which
Oermany has survived what appeared to be final disaster.
Ten years ago now Germany's outlook was of the blackest.
Enemy troops, by tens of thousands, occupied German soil.
The national treasury was bankrupt. The people were on the
verge ot starvation. I he government, abruptly changed from
a monarchy Jo it vepublic, might survive 24 hours longer.and
it might noli no one could be sine. The nation's economic life
had collapsed. Hundreds of. thousands of men ,wero out of
worn; moreover, the currency was depreciating so fast that
those who did have jobs often could not buy the bare neces
sities of lifts'; with their wages.
1 Surely, anyone might have supposed that the nation would
simply go to pieces. An optimist might have reckoned that in
50 years, given good luck, something liko order and prosperity
would return hut not before.
What has happened? The government is firmly estab
lished. The specter of communism has disappeared ; so, to,
has the threat of dictatorship. The currency has been stabil
ized. Factories are busy aSain, and workmen are employed
in many cases, for better wages than they earned before the
war. The country still bears the scars of war; every family
mourns a son or father who died at the front or of hi..,...
in the post-war turmoil, and tho nation is loaded with a fear
ful burden 'of reparations debts. Hut there is daylight ahead
All m all, the recovery nl Germany, in ten short years
stands as one of the most notable accomplishments of modern
times. "The completed," says one writer, "are further along
in their moral and physical convalescence than some of the
