Alaaaapbrrie Presaare Reduced.
The atmoe4iri' pressure was now
reduced and the temperatures became
normal, according" to Ihe human view
point, and the vegetable and animal
life, with which we are familiar, ap
peared. The re I mnn now entered, at
least we iunpoe he was red when he
appeared, and after being preyed upon
bv lha animals for a time, turned the
tardea and preyed upon them. The
white man then came on the scene and
preyed on both.
Tha white man also brought us the
flr.l authentic date in connection with
our mountain. This man was Lieu
tenant Prouthton. of the Kngllsh Royal
Davy. Vancouver, nis commander, had
a commission from George 111 lo ex
plore and map the Northwest coast of
America and to make a treaty with the
bpanlsn lo Hi their respective natloni"

detached duty, aalled u the Columbia
and on ctober 3. 1TI. when some
what below the present site of Van
couver. '.Vash.. he discovered a snow
rapped peak which his log describes as
"rl.ing beautifully conspicuous."
Head Deeds laelaalacaat.
This poetic effort rather exhausting
the gallant seaman, he suffered a
strong reaction and promptly named
tha mountain Hood, after his chubby
and horn-bespectacled patron. Hear
Admiral Samu.-l Hood. Hood attained
a little fame In soma near battles In
the French and American wars, but his
reasons. If not the chief reason, why
the law has filled In Ita true purpose.
This Is the reason why the great masses
of the people have been against the
law of protection aa they have come
to know It-
There has been lltt'e or no objection
upon Ih part of the Government to
Ihe Importation or all types or laoor.
And the protest of those to whom this
waa a most vital question have gone
unheeded. In fact, vast numbers of
men hsve made a practice of coming
to this country each year, because they
could gel better wages here, and re
turning lo Iheir own countries at Ihe
end of th. season because they could
live more chesply there. This has meant
that th laboring men of this rountry
have not received tho protection which
waa their due. equally with th. manu
facturer, br the method of operation
of our tariff law.
If Ihe world were on an equal social
and economic basis and seal, of living,
then this protection would he entirely
unnecessary and nugatory. When the
world reaches thai point of actual and
true economic equality, when social
conditions are the same amongst all
peoples, then the protective -tariff will
have lost Its reason for being. But
until then It la an essential feature.
Aa lung as there la a great diversity, aa
long aa there are Inferior and superior
planes of human life on its economic
and social sides. Just so long must we
hsre protec-tlon If we ar. to have the
survival of not the fittest. In Its nat
ural sense but of th. best in ail that
our Ideals and arplr.tions call for.
We protect society aem-t Ihe
vicious and Immoral by methods of
punishment and Isolation. We ought to
understand that society needs economic
protection for the maintenance and de
velopment of the best. Just a well as
it needs police protection against the
vicious.
It Is the duty of every cltixen to
study mis law and Its application to
the affairs of government and to do
his t-act In shaping lealelatitm- to con
form wltb It- If the American people

ASK ABOUT MUSHROOMS
Professor Sweetser Replies to Queries r.nd Describes Dangerous Fungi.
Hunters Advised to Stick to Recognized Safe Varieties.
T-y-NIVERSlTV OF OREGON. Eugene.
I Nov. 20. (Special.) Whether
v-r washing poisonous mushrooms In
a solution of salt and water for five
or 10 minutes before frying will drive
away the poisonous water is an in
quiry from a Portlander, who has been
reading the toadstool series In The
Oregonian by A. It. Sweetser, professor
of botany in the State University.
"Is it correct that in mushrooms
which are poisonous the water contained-
by these mushrooms only is
poisonous and the pulp not?" was an
other of his inquiries. "It is also con
tended that after washing in a salt
and vinegar solution the grilling or
roasting of the mushrooms until tney
are perfectly dry and therefore free
from their original moisture win mase
safe eyen mushrooms that were orig
inally poison. J-o you mina mm is
true?" he asks. These are specimens
of the queries received by Professor
Sweetser that Indicate a widespread
Interest in Oregon in mushrooms and
toadstools as a food. Professor Sweet
ser replied as follows to the questions
quoted:
"Toadstool poison Is of two sorts.
One Is a simple irritant that makes
itself known at once and produces
vomiting. This is not necessarily fatal.
The other kind belongs to the deadly
alkaloid and is found especially in the
amanitas. In a fly toadstool the poison
Is ir.uscarin. for which atropia seems
sn antidote. In A. Plialliodes the
poison is phallin. for which no certain
antidote has been found. This latter
toadstool is especially dangerous, for
it Jo white and attractive,, and has no
3
grant road. The members of this
party, on their return, either from
memories of the climb or the use of
some pioneer instruments, proudly pro
