' Twelve years ago Mount He bo, in the Sluslaw national forest in Tilla mook, county, lay naked with only a few charred snags to mark the re mains of heavy timber that had been wiped out by one of the worst forest - fires in the history of the Northwest, i " Other fires had swept over the area, destroying every vestige of forest growth and leaving It bare, 'even of seed. ' On Mount Hebo the United States for est service began its first experiments m fill- reforestation. SOWING IS DISCONTINUED , Kirst attempts were by sowing the seed, but this proved expensive, and in i 1912 it was supplanted by planting 2-year-old trees propagated at the Wind .- KlVer nursery. - Today the Mount Hebo plantations started 11 years ago are now from 13 to It feet, high and so dense in places that 1 il is almost impossible for a man to get through, according to the report of Wal ter. Love of the forest service, who has just completed an examination of the project. Other plantations established more recently are making rapid growth ; and stand out in rows that are quite ap- i parent to one passing through on the trails. PRIVATE ACRES BABREX Contrasted with the planted area, the i privately owned land just outside the ; national forest lies barren of any young growth, and except for the dense break, is as denuded of vegetation as it was 12 ) years ago. , . L Between the years 1909 and 1919. ac cording to Leve. some 8400 acres were . planted or seeded. Some of the trees had iviiitiltfiuru IklA rf t : cfpiurrrla a fipet t t i compete with the fern and also with the little, mountain beaver that inhabits the ; hillsides, but they , are now showing a i successful . growth, i , HUNTLEY AND DAY IN LEAD FOR BIG JOBS (Oeathrasd From Pass On) been and are being subjected to day by day by candidates and friends of can-1 ciidates on every hand. HA(,KH FOR KSD v , They, which includes the givers as well as the takers, are eager to get it over with. Then, too, and this fact cannot well be - overlooked. Ralph Williams, national committeeman, is back In Washington and has been for some little time. Not -only that, but he is going to stay right there until some time in June, which seems to indicate that he Intends to hang h rou ii 1 iiitil he sees what is going to he. do; .Mid that it is going to be done tit Shv . iwperway. ; It n.fty t, also, that there will be har mony, or at least coincidence, so far as I'nited recommendations by Senator Mc Nary and Senator Stanfield are con cerned. XQT MICH LO VE Of . course,' it is well (understood by those who know the state of the inner cetiatorial minds that McNary wouldn't present the shirt off his back to his junior colleague because of mere love and affection, while it is very doubtful as well if Stanfield would donate many pounds of wool to the senior senator re gardless of the state of the weather or the condition of the tariff, unless the exigencies of politics and policies de manded. Nor would Ralph Williams yield many bales of hops for the concoction of any Stanfield. brew unless he had the prom ise of repayment In kind when needed at the. next and coming election of national committeeman. i BUILDING "FEXCES" - It is also known, or very definitely un derstood, that McNary intends to have, his personal friends, or at least his politi cal allies. Installed in the major federal Offices in Oregon so that the machinery will not be In the hands of hostile politi cal engineers when the time comes four years from now that, he will be compelled .to seek reelection. It is also an existing political condition that if Stanfield does not play with Mc Nary In the matter of federal patronage McNary and Williams will stand to gether, and. when you put the stretegic power of a senior senator In with the undoubtedly close connection between Williams. Will Hays ana the White 'House it makes a combination that no Junior statesman could successfully buck. DAT. LEADING All of which brings us back to Mr. Day for marshal and Mr. Huntley for coHectdr of internal revenue. . Day, according to existing conditions, - seems to have double shot the turn. In . the first place he is chairman of the Multnomah county central committee, and probably will be four years from now, if not appointed marshal, a manag ing position which makes it expedient to . reckon with him at this time. ... More than that he and Ralph Williams are political friends and coworkers' In the vineyard of the state organisation- point number two. . . Williams and McNary are inclined to work together point number three. While Stanfield may not want Day for marshal, Ferdinand E. Reed, whom Stanfield says "Is a fine gentleman. does, which . constitutes point number four, and a pretty potent point, every thing considered.

He is a personal ' and political friend both: of Senator McNary and of Ralph Wil liams, i Stanfield would like to see Jack Peare of La Grande get the job of collector of internal revenue, but Williams is ready to insist, strenuously if necessary, that Huntley lands IU and Williams insist ence plus McNary 's personal inclination forms a mighty compelling situation in Huntley's favor. t Incidentally A. A. Bailey, candidate for federal prohibition enforcement officer, has been ramping around pretty hot un der the collar ever since he got a letter from Stanfield the other day telling him that somebody else had been "decided on" for that job. i . i SO THERE YOU! ARE ' He has. in factj been mad as a hatter and when A. A. beta good and mad he usually goes out. whittles off a good big club and gets to work.- But he and Jack Day are fellow Radi ators and political cronies and if Jack gets to be marshal, A. A. - may in all probability get to be deputy marshal, which would soothe his anger and make everything lovely; again. So there it is. all ready for the political chessmen to step up and pick the winners.

MAJORITY HOLDS FIRM Many of the Umatilla growers wanted to go into the state association -with an optional contract, but the rest of the Btate stood out against them. ; Inasmuch as the national association agreed to abide by the Oregon decision, whatever It might be,- and to keep its own organization out of Oregon until 1924. Umatilla county's organization ap parently will have to remain independent. The plan of the United States Grain Growers. Inc. provides for optional pool ing, but that organization agreed to ad mit the Oregon and other North western associations to national membership under practically their own forms of contract.- It moreover imwut nnt- tn allow growers not members of the Ore gon association to - become members of the national without first agreeing to the terms of the Oregon -form. . , ' ; 1 TO WAGE CAMPAIGN : 1 I Officers of the Oregon Grain Growers' Cooperative association today announced that they Will eo : after nsmlvri lr Umatilla county who are aligned with me umamia group represented here Fri day. : There are many Umatilla mimtv ohost growers, they aver. : who favor the 100 per cent pooling plan, and who will join Oregon association regardless of the SOUTHER OREGON WOMEN'S CLUBS MEET AT ASHLAND Child Welfare Work Is Shown to .

Body Meeting Walla Wala. Wash., May 14. Boys and girls should think of marriage in the light of a divine call instead of a social relation. Dr. S. B. L. Pen rose, president of Whitman college, told the 300 , or, more mothers and teachers of Oregon and Washington In the closing address bf , the Joint session of the Parent-Teacher aso ciation .of the two states hero today. He spoke on ""The Education of Young People for Parenthood." The young people of the nation, he said, should think ot marriage in the light of common sense of ratherfaood and motherhood and should be brought to face the fact sanely and unemotionally by suggestion only from time to time. The trouble with the present girls, he held, is tha they expect a higher pow ered car to be available in the -homes their husbands furnish than is furnished in the homes of their parents. The teaching of this is accomplished mainly, he said, through cooperation of parents with high school teachers, since the high Bchool teachers meet the young people during the most critical period of their lives. LEGISLATURE IS SCOBED The Washington legislature was scored in the address of Mrs. M. T. Holloman of Olympia, who " spoke on "A Clean Campaign for Clean Motion Pictures."

After the -close of the convention, the delegates were taken for an automobile ride around the city and down the Wail a Walla valley by the Commercial club. PSYCHOLOGY IS URGED Miss Helen'- Martin, psychologist Seattle, spoke on "The Mind of a Little Child" at the afternoon session. Sue quoted Dletmer Gates, United States government psychologist, to show what could be accomplished by the applica tion of the principles of applied psychol ogy to the education of the child. : She pointed to Ue work of Lr. Gates at the Smithsonian Institute in teaching puppies and : kittens to distinguish be tween the flags or the nations wild It different colors by his psychological methods and said. "If some . puppies can be taught this, what can be taught the child by the same methods?" ; Mothers, she said, should study and apply psychological principles to the firBt teaching of their children instead of using meaningless expressions. If this were done, she continued, the chil dren would progress far more rapidly -in their education. EXAMPLE IS CITED She cited an example of her own ex perience to prove the point, saying that she had taught a child of two and one- ' half years to read Intelligently. With proper training, she held, the average child at the age of 10 or 12 years should Lave as much general educational knowl edge as a man of 40 or SO. . This can be accomplished by any housewife with a limited amount of time and 'money, if the mother under stands the proper methods, she said. Color blindness, she asserted, could also be avoided if the proper training in the recognition of -colors . in the home were given, citing navy surgeons who had studied color recognition defects In sailors as her .authority.
