The pointers of the (.renter Dipper, in constellation Trsa Major, directly over head, point downward to the pole star MOTES AND BEAMS Readers of IN VARIOUS EYES Portland papers these days are being retailed much "expert opinion" as to the things that are wrong with Portland's civic gov ernment. Some gentlement from New York, which is not exactly tie paragon of cities, are making reports on the various city departments, and are hammering Portland unmericully. They were imported for that purpose, and they are surely earning their sti pend. Possibly special publicity is being given their findings at this tme because a municpal election is pending; but be that as it may, the question arises as to whether or not such "experting" of a city is of much real, intrinsic value. It is easy to point out flaws in any system, municipal or otherwise. It is especially easy when one has had more or less special training in some subject closely allied with the line of criticism. New York's experts have probably had more than the average amount of experience and .special training in civic affairs life in the national metropolis is apt to provide the man of ordinary intelligence with a vast insight into things that are not as they ought to be. However, is it going to do Portland much good to have its faults picked out and help up in glaring array for the benefit of all who may read Portland papers? It would be possible, quits probably, to find fault with the way things in Oregon City are transacted. In fact, there is some inclination in some quarters so to do. Fault finding is a habit with some folks; with others it is a means of livelihood. But mere fault finding is not conducive to a great deal of progress. It is well to know the faults of a system of muni pical control; but it is better to know how to make the control more effici ent, and to give greater emphasis to the means of betterment than to the faults themeslves. liiiiitjB See America .

THE SUM OF THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS WAS SPENT LAST YEAR BY AMERICANS WHO WENT SIGHTSEEING ABROAD. MANY OF THOSE WHO GO ABROAD WOULD SPEND THEIR TIME AND MONEY AT HOME IF OUR PLACES OF NATURAL BEAUTY AND SCENIC INTEREST WERE MADE AC- CESSIBLE AND COMFORTABLE TO THE VISITOR. The Swiss have demonstrated the value of accessible scenery as a national asset. More than two hundred million dollars was spent in the Alps last year by visitors. If the scenery in the- Rocky mountains ia made accessible the ITXITED STATES WILL HAVE A BUSINESS OF THIS KIND SECOND TO NONE TN THE WORLD. What we need is a federal bnrean which should have charge of the work of exploiting the scenery of the conntrv. Moreover, national PARKS ANT) PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE PEOPLE ARE ESSENTIA LS.

If Oregon City has faults, it behooves her citizens to find out about them, and then instead of advertising the faults, advertise some method by which conditions may be bettered. It sounds better to talk about the good things a city is going to do, than about the bad things a city has done. One can catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar, as the saying is; and the town that boasts of its good intentions, rather than the town that wails over its shortcomings makes a greater appeal to the settler, visitor and tourist. Boost your town, don't knock. REDLAND. John Fottnch is in the Oregon City Hospital. He underwent an operation Sunday morning.

Whatever pleasure is to be derived from looking upon fields, of living ween orchards, white with the prom ise of luscious fruit and sleek, content ed cattle browsing in luxurious pasture may be enjoyed by anyone who can view the landscape of Western Ore gon, now. Added to this are the wild birds and flowers, with their unutter able charm to cheer the ranchman's toil. The more material mind may find its cheer in the prospect of a rich harvest, with its store of comfort in the home and of golden gain in its sale. The grain has been growing at a pace, truly magical, in the past week. Its emrald hue. contrasted with the dark brown of the adjacent-lying, new ly plowed fields, furnishes a picture that might well attract the artist's brush.

How is this for Oregon, a snow storm the last of April. It looks like an early Easter did not bring an early spring this year, at least we are hav j'ing a little too much stormy weather for farming, though a good many took i advantage of the sunshine last week j to put in crops and a few of the farm ; ers in this vicinity have their little j patches sown. ' I Grant Ashby came down last week ! from Shaw, Marion County, to plow i his land here as he intends to sum ! mer fallow this year, but found the ground too wet for good work, but is I going ahead anyway but probably this snowstorm will put a stop to plowing for a few days.
