PEOPLE SOLVE PROBLEM QUICKLY
t'
T 'Portlanders all know about Eagle
creek and the vast crowds that visit
It on bright summer Sundays.
Put do they know that even last
Sunday in the midst of ahall and
a 'snow storm, six camping parties
were enjoying the benefits of the
Eagle' creek campgrounds?
IDEAL CAMP 8ITE8
. And do they know that there are
about IS other camping grounds of
varyinr degrees of improvement for
their use in the Oregon national forest?
These do not take into consideration, of
course, the thousands of beautiful spots
where anyone may camp, but only those
where the forest service has done some
- thine for the comfort of the camper In
the way of shelter houses, fireplaces,
water pipes, tables or other facilities,
And do they know that Oregon is only
one of 16 national forests in tne state
all of which afford recreational faclll-
of unme sort, although some are
more suited for public camping grounds
than others.
The forest service is undertaking a
tlntlra.l classification of Oregon's
national forest campgrounds together
with their facilities, dividing them into
four classes. Class A contains those
able to accommodate 6000 persons
one time, with fireplaces, parking places.
running water, toilets, garDage cans,
aid trails and other Improvements.
Class B are those accommodating from
boo to 5000 persons ; class U those De
tween 10 and bOO and class D those in
which there is room for less than 60
persons.
MAST ACCOMMODATIONS
There are pages and pages of camp
ing ground lists, vast sized pages, 'to
gether with maps of the different for-"
ests with the camps marked in colored
- pencil according to their degree, being
done under the direction of Assistant
District Forester C. J. Buck, in charge
of forest service recreation work.
The Eagle creek campgrounds, with
further improvements, could easily ac
commodate 6000 persons, it is esti
mated, although their present capacity
is but 3000.
Still creek, near Zigzag, will soon de
velop into a class A campground with
the building of the Mount Hood loop
road. Already are large numbers of
applications for summer homestite
leases being received, and forest service
officials predict that with the comple
trtion of the new road, it will rival with
' Eagle creek in popularity. Other camp
grounds on the Oregon not quite so ac-
"fcesslble to automobiles are those at
Clackamas lake, Clear lake. Bear
prlngs, Wahtum lake, Lost Take, Elk
meadows, Tilly Jane. Warrendale camp.
Ruckle creek. Roaring river and Moore
Greek. Open camps may be had at
Bagsby, Government camp. Summit
house meadows and Badger lake.
GROUNDS 8CATTERKD
On the Santlam national forest are
14 public campgrounds, accommodating
2000 persons, of varying degrees of im
provement. Twenty-four campgrounds on the 81s
klyou forest are visited by 2700 persons
a year. Nineteen of these are on gov
ernment land and others on private
areas within the forests. Of these, the
Oregon caves is the greatest attraction,
ranking with class B.
LEASE SUMMER HOMES
The Crater national forest, surround
ing Crater national park, is on of the
most popular forests, wi,th Its 27 camp
grounds. Union creek grounds alone
were visited by 17.800 persons last year.

Spanning the Coquille river on the
new forest trail between-Illahe and
Powers. Is a new 100-foot suspen
sion bridge, a monument to the pub
lic spirited citizens of Powers who
donated a total ' of $998 in money
and labor for its construction.
Forest service officials saw the need
for a shorter and more direct trail in
the Rogue river country - last summer
and Forest Ranger R. I. Helm of
Agness. realising the benefit it would be
to the people of Powers, canvassed the
town, telling the business men that the
forest service was ready to begin con
struction and assure the completion of
the project, provided they came through
with the construction of the bridge. Tha
response was Immediate and sufficient
money was raised to commence work in
October.
The bridge is constructed of Port
Orford cedar with main cables of 14
inches. The trail on which the bridge
is located connects up the Rogue river
with the railroad by 26 miles or a one
day Journey. Heretofore it has taken
two days over a bad trail leading over a
high mountain. The new traU has the
additional advantage of being usable
at any time of Xhe year.
'The peoeple of Powers raised $441.50
for the bridge, donations running from
12.00 to S100. Those giving were : W.

Cooks and Waiters
On Strike in Bdise
Boise, Idaho. March 20. Seven of the
largest restaurants In this city were
forced to close their doors this morning
when 160 members of the Cooks and
Waiters' union walked out The entire
membership of the local union, 210 mem
bers, will be out tomorrow morning.
The waiters ask an Increase of 50 cents
a day and the cooks $1. The walkout
was the result of action taken last night
when restaurant owners refused to meet
demands of the union. Cooks and wait'
ers left their posts at 10 o'clock this
morning. Proprietors, meeting this aft
ernoon, declared the demands unreason
able and refused to meet them.
CARRIER PIGEONS
RAISED FOR USE IN

Supervisor. McDuff Goes to Much
Trouble to Prepare for Next
Summer When Fires Break Out

name be placed on the presidential pref

In Indiana. The Indiana Democratic

Being godfather, physician, and
school teacher to a steadilyincreas
ing family of carrier pigeons Is a
good sised job, asserts Supervisor N.
Is. McDuff of the Cascade National
forest, who Is at the forest service
office from Eugene.
McDuff started pigeoning a year ago
with 12 birds; he now has 40. with
an expectation of 60 ready for use at
the beginning of the forest fire season.
Most of the birds will be used by the
airplane observers to carry word of
the whereabouts of fires or of them
selves back to headquarters.
05LY 05E SOURI8HMEKT
. McDuff has obtained almost a tech
nical knowledge of carrier pigeons since
he commenced In an amateurish way
experimenting with birds for the for
est service. For Instance, he talks
about "squeakers." A "squeaker," in
bird language, is the same as a "bawl
er" would be in human language, if
such a term were used. "Squeakers"
are the young birds who have not yet
learned to use good pigeon English.
McDuff is finding himself beset with
grave social problems. Parents are de
eerting their squeakers. Thus the mor
tality rate of squeakers is high, since
no artificial baby food has been de
vised for orphaned squeakers. Squeak
erg can thrive on no other nourish
ment except that , from their parents'
stomachs. t!- ' ' : -V ,' v
DESTROYS' WE W WESTS' "
So eager are the parent birds to raise
a new family that they' are continually
trying to commerce nesting again' be
fore the young are past their care.
Then McDuff ruthlessly destroys their
new nests as fast as they build them.
One obdurate bird defied him and laid
an egg in the same nest with ier
young. McDuff removed the egg. Other
birds stoutly refuse to nest.
The birds must be fed every two
hours. Draughts must be kept off them.
McDuff, -finding time scarce on his
hands, undertook to erritloy a man to
look aftr th tilrria. Th.min came.
He heard the instructions.' He left and
never returned. The Job of nurseman.
kindegarten instructor and guardian
was oo much. McDuff is assisted in
the care of the birds by his wife and
children.
BIRD BATES $7
Training of the birds is begun at the
age of six weeks. As soon as the weath
er is good the birds will be released
from the loft and training will com
mence. Most of the birds will be used
at Eugene, but others will be sent to
the ranger stations. The real need for
carrier pigeons is at the ranger sta
tions, says McDuff, but the rangers
have no time 'in which to train them.
In spite of their care and expense,
however, the carrier pigeons are In
valuable to the forest service, asserts
McDuff,: who cites - one " instance last
sumoner when a bird released in the f
forest. Immediately -after a fire wtl f
under -control.-reached headquarter la
ID minutes and made possible the die-' -
missing of IS men who were being held
to send as reinforcements, should the
seriousness Of the fir require.' The
men were being paid J5 a day, and the1
message carried by the pigeon saved
the forest service S7S. -.

THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRTTANNICA
Furnishes Accurate Knowledge
On Every .Subject Under tke Sun
The World's Greatest Authority
THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA contains what is probably the best
and most reliable information written by the greatest experts on practically eycry
subject known to. the human mind. No matter what subject you are interested in, no
matter what subject your family or your children are interested in, no matter what
subject comes up in your daily papers or your books, you will rind that the Britannica
f'ves the most comprehensive information on that subject in its 44,000,000 words,
very phase of a subject is covered. Even the smallest, most obscure information
is here in the Britannica, as well as the articles on the great general subjects.
When you read an article In the Encyclopaedia BriUnnica you feel confident that
the information you are obtaining is reliable, for the Britannica was written by the
wisest minds of the day, each a specialist in the particular subject upon which he has
furnished an article for the Britannica. These writers are either professors in the
great institutions of learning in our country and other countries, or are scientific and
professional men and women who, by their superior intelligence and research, hae
acquired far advanced knowledge oft their subjects, or, again, they are the great
workers of the world merchants, financiers and practical, artisans who have in
many cases achieved, startling success in their particular lines of work. Tbey write
in a clear, concise manner which every member of your family can understand. You
will be surprised how interesting and fascinating are the articles in the Britannica.
and you will have many hours of profit and pleasure from a setof this great work.
Your Country Needs Your Help in
the Solution of the Great
Problems Left by the War
We are now in a period of reconstruction in America as well as Europe. We must
reconstruct and modify our industrial, social and political life to meet the new
conditions as a result of the war.
The gravest questions that ever confronted a nation must now be met, and you
will have to help settle these questions as a citizen of a democracy. For example:
Shall we retain our high tariff or shall we operate on a free trade bails? Shall we
wipe) out our enorrnous national dCtot in one or two generations or shall we extend it
over a comparatively lopg period? Shall we adopt universal training or maintain a
large standing army? Shall we place under permanent Federal control the railroads,
telephone, telegraph and express companies or shall we keep them under private
ownership? Shall thia nation become more autocratic or tend toward Socialism?
What will mean the greatest prosperity and happiness to the people ?
These questions deeply concern you. A citizen today who is informed and is able
to talk intelligently on problems of national importance will be sought out for his
advice, and he is certain to play a large part in the solution of these questions.
There is no work that will give you the amount of reliable, accurate information
so readily accessible as the great Encyclopaedia Britannica. The Britannica for" a
century and a half has been the basis of the reading, the very foundation of the
knowledge on which the leading men, the statesmen of each generation have bated
their judgment for the solution of the national problems of their day. You, as a
citizen of this great nation, living, in the day of the greatest crisis of its history,
should do no less' than put yourself in a position adequately to answer and pass
intelligent judgment on the questions that are so vital to the country and the hap
piness and welfare of its people.
Givo Your Child a Fair Chance in
