FOREST ISSUES
DISCUSSED; HINTS
AID LI1BM1
Questions of Fire Prevention and
"Fire Proofing" in Douglas
Fir Region Treated.
Lumbermen, timber owners, state
forest officials and others ar beine
asked ' to give thought and construc
tive suggestions to the forest problems
of the Douglas nr region of the North
west in an appeal Just Issued "from the
office of District Forester George H.
Cecil In Portland. Local forest offi
cers have drawn up a preliminary
draft of the fundamentals of the for
est problem and have sent it to other
Interested , agencies of J Oregon and
Washington. This draft, which is tech
nically called "minimum silvicultural
requirements" refers to the least
things to bo done in order to insure
continuous timber production on forest
lands of the Northwest.
The first draft of the report for the
Douglas fir . region has been prepared
by Thornton T. Monger of the forest
service and copies have been sent to
some 25 cooperating organisations and
individuals in the two Northwestern
states for their review and criticism.
On the basis of these reviews and
criticisms a revised statement wQl
be prepared 'Tor general circulation.
The report concerns itself with fire
prevention during logging, "fire-proof-tng"
cut over lands, ana protection
from fire after logging and has for its
aim the promotion of essential meas
ures necessary to keep forest land t in
the Douglas fir region productive of
forest crops af'ter the virgin timber
has been removed.
This report concerns itself with the
immediate problem of the woods,, the
steps which must be taken to insure
continuous production of forest crops
and is not concerned with the eco
nomic readjustment and legislative en
actments which may be necessary to
carry out these forestry measures. -
Foresters agree that perhaps no
where in the country is the problem of
natural reforestation so simple as In
Western Oregon and Washington un
less it is in the redwood region. It ia
brought out very clearly to this state
ment that no radical change in pres
ent methods is necessary and that by
adding but a few cents per thousand
board feet to the cost of logging a new
crop of young trees is practically as
sured. .

The Journal . To the views o Ethel M.
Hold en, expressed in her letter in The
Journal of December 12 1 cannot en
tirely subscribe, though she presents
some good, wholesome thoughts. She is
right is saying that; greed la the all
Inspiring' influence that motivates com
mercialism, and that public interests
and public good have no place in the
minds of men who grasp and grab, to
make money out of our natural re
sources. She is right in her appeal for
the preservation of nature's beauties at
our very door3, for the recreation and
benefit of the many who are unable to
travel far "to commune with nature in
Jier visible forms." But I think she Is
wrong if she means bo other -use may
be made of those beauty spots. Our
waterways and our forests were, first
of .all. -made for use. But they were
not made for despoilment, and, there
fore that uae should conform to our
needs. And such use does not Imply
ruthless destruction. We like to preach
about the heritage of morals, laws,
science, and Invention that we are leav
ing our children, but we thirds little r
nothing at all upon the subject of leav
ing a heritage of natural things that
have come down to ns through the ages
andwhich we are now bent upon utter
ly destroying because time at last has
put into our hands mighty engines of
destruction. We have become veritable
titans and in one generation, it would
seem, we shall' be able to destroy the
growth of ages. Though conservation
has been preached for 30 years and the
government has segregated some por
tions of our mountainsides, mostly in
accessible, it has had no appreciable
effect upon the work of devastation.
We wreck a forest and then leave It to
the flames, and great districts tand
out as dismal examples of our methods.
"Conserve" Is good, but to save Is a
thousand times better. If we would
protect our forests by rigid laws -with
reference to the selection of cut timber
and the burning of all debris we would
virtually eliminate our forest fires and
would save them and at the same time
use them, and they would . continue
forever. But we could not make so
many millionaires that way. One more
generation, and we are done, I, as a
boy, saw, sa it then seemed, the ever
lasting forests of Michigan. Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Where are they now?
Barren burns and devastation, and in
one generation or two merethe hill
sides of Washington and Oregon will
be the same.
But what's the use? Posterity be
damned. We positively, in a commer-:
cial way, have no thought of posterity '
except to tax It for the roads we j
build. F. B. Wood.
MICAITS MESSAGE AGAIN "
A Warning, Even to the Devout That
They Interpret It Not Too Com
fortably for Themselves.
Portland, Dec. 19. To the Editor of
The Journal Micah 6 :8, spoken of by
J. P. Averill. clearly shows that the
God of IsVael wants to be reeognixed
as the only trYie God and that he will
not be served by mere external offer
ings, but rather by perfect service
flowing from a heart truly humble
toward God. The greatest trouble .with
many people is "that they do not look
at the whole text, but simoiy Quote,
the words eultea to tneir peculiar
whim or speculation. In Micah 6-:8 we
read these words: "He (God) hath
shewed thee, O man, what is good."
These words are overlooked or mis
understood. They tell us that God
has 'shown, or told, us what Is good,
but never that we can do that which
is good in God's sight or what he
requires of us. Micah 6:8 is law
which God would have preached to
us to teach us how depraved and sin
ful each and everyone of us Is. The
Lord requires of us the continual, un
interrupted doing Justly, loving mercy
and walking in humility before God.
As soon as we fall short of such eerv
ice. we fall short of "what is good"
we sin. Our sins cannot be atoned
for by man's deeds, for he must con
tiriually do that which is good, nor by
offerings , and sacrifices. Micah 6:8,
applied correctly, shows us that we
need a Savior, just as Jesus, the only
savior of man, clearly shows when
speaking to the Pharisees about the
twov commandments on which "bang
all the law and the prophets." Fpr
when Christ had clearly shown them
that they were by no means. able to
show forth the righteousness God re
quired of them, though they and their
fellow-men deemed them righteous and
good and Just, he put a question to
them. His question was, "What think
ye of Christ? Whose son is Her
Here Christ wishes to show- the Phar
isees, whom he had stripped of all
merit and righteousness before God,
that they can find hope and comfort
and salvation In Him only. Of course.
the Pharisees did not accept the
Christ as their Messiah and Savior,
nut rejectea Him. holding and clingini
to what they deemed to be righteous
ness, virtue, merit, rather than cling
ing to the grace of God as shown us
ana purchased and won for us by
the innocent, bitter suffering and death
of Jesus Christ.
Mr. Averill, being "an old man" and
apparently concerned about his eternal
well-being, should cling to the Bible,
the infallible, the inspired, the in-
errant word of God, andj he -will learn
to Know the truth that man cannot
keep the law of God as he would have
keep it He will also find (Romans
10:4) that Christ "Is the. end of the
law for righteousness to everyone that
believeth." . Yes, he will find how true
Christ's statement (John 5:39) is:
"Search the scriptures ; for in them
ye think ye have eternal life; and
they are they which testify of ma,"
and especially this teetimonv f John
3:16); "God so loved the world that

CONSTRUING MICAH
And Comparing Him With Roosevelt,
ana ms Kuierg With the Stand
patters of 1913.
Vancouver. Wash- Det 21. Tn tk.
Editor ef The Journal Now, while
Micah, the outspoken, is in, the spot
light It may not be amiss to scrutinize
him and consider his objective. Even
a careiess reader must be convinced
that the Book of Micah is composite
highly so. - Its first chapter may have
-been written ; by anyone, other than
Micah. Its second and third chanters
are by the one we know as Micah. Its
fourth and fifth chapters are based on
viewpoints differing greatly from those
possible to Micah. Micah'a outlook was
of -lh eighth century B. C. whereas
the later writer saw thrnvs in, tha
light of the fourth' century B. C. The
author cf the sixth and seventh chap
ter?, as is plainly evident, saw things
iir-jf ChJistian rather than in a Yah -
wist .-light;; hence it. Is probable thai!
these chapters do not anteoata the
Christian era. - .- Micah's ? writings, as i
must be noted, ars directly to the point,
and in his case the point was rascality.
Like the Immortal Koosevelt, Micah '
went after- the standpatters with a big J
stick, and, like Roosevelt, ha went i
after them himself, personally H did
not xall on tha good Lord to flush .
cesspool sewer, nor yet n Hercules,
to muck out a hogpen. Th conditions
which confronted Micah In 750 B. C
and those by which Roosevelt was con-'
fronted in 1912 are markedly similar. !
Micah fully realised that the depraved
rascality of the leaders of the; Yah-,
wist had reached such debased " dsn
gree " that redemption was . absolutely
Impossible. Prophet priest: and king!
were synonyms-of rogue, thief and liar.-?
Micah championed a people enslaved,
burdened aqd distressed by a .stand
pat theocracy. ; "Who also eat the flesh
of my people, and flay their skins from
off them, and they break their bones
and chop them in pieces as for 'the pot
and as -flesh within the ' caldron."
Micah 3:3. Micah in the eighth, cen
tury B. C. realized that the .one hope
of his suffering people lay In the "holy
city's ("Zlon built up with biood and
Jerusalem with iniquity") being lev
eled to the ground by a foreign ration
or nations whose sense of ethical jus
tice was superior to that of the Yah
wist overlords. This same realization
came to Roosevelt, A. D. 1912. .He
realized that the stand pat party? had
become odious : so he "bustad it up."

A "CHEST" CRITICISM
Exception . Taken . to Inclusion of "The
House of the Good Shepherd. :
Portland, Dec 18. To the Editor of
The Journal J. H. " Abbott !n The
Journal, assails the Comm. unify Chest
Mr. Abbott is no doubt on the right
track, but he does not go far enough
in his criticisms on the various Insti
tutions listed tor the Community
Chest He does not tell us that one
institution, namely, "The House of
the Good Shepherd," which it in
cluded on the list for charity, operates
a commercial laundry for profit the
work being done by the .inmates of
this institution without one penny's
compensation, and, in addition . this
home is paid so much a month by the
state for the keep of these children.
In criticising one institution, why not
tell the world about all of them?

ONE MORE LONELY ONE
Portland, Dec. 20. To the Editor of
The- Journal As a reader of The
Journal the last four years, I take the
liberty to send in a few lines about
the lonesome ones, as I am One of
them. Is there nothing to give relief
to the lonely souls? I feel for them,
for the evenings Just at this season
are long and lonely. The rain ajid
wind around, my shack often sound
spooky. Then I take up my knitting,
and the needles go "click, click," and
thoughts of a long time ago pass
through my memory, when I made
these knitting needles fly so that all
my loved ones had warm socks and
stockings. Those days are gone for
ever. I am a Westerner since 1883.

I WELCOME FOR LONELY ONES
I Portland, Dec. 19. To the Editor of
The Journal Having noted among the
open letters in The Journal one signed
"A Lonely Woman," expressing a de
sire to make friendly acquaintances in
the city, I have been moved to write
this, hoping that It may reach the
eyes of such women and be of some
help. I noted with pleasure a letter
in your columns suggesting that
friends might be found in the churches,
and I want to second that thought
emphasizing the fact that lone women
will find many cheery friends In the
East Side Baptist church or in the
several W. C. T. U.'s in the city.
I will personally be more than glad
ff women whov are alone in the city
and have a desire to make acquaint
ances will either phone me or call at
my, office, where I may put them In
touch with a few of the many women
tn the city who really would count
it a privilege to meet such lone women.
There is no place like the church to
make friends, and the W. C. T. U. is
just "church women at work."

An Orthodox Believer States views.
Prompted by a Recent Court Decision.
Portland, Dec. 13. To the Editor of
Thes Journal The California courts
have decided that the Bible is a sec
tarian book ansT denied its use tn the
publio schools.' There are many tail
lions, of equal intelligence, who be
lieve it is the word of God, and the
number is increasing as science un
veils the laws of nature. The courts
do not tell us what sect is the author
of the Bible. History informs us that
Mohammed wrote the Koran and
started the Mohammedan sect. Jo
seph Smith is the author of the Book
of Mormon, "and started that seet
Mrs. Mary Baker -O. Kddy founded
Christian Science with her book. AU
of these sectarian books are properly
ruled out cf the public schools. If
there is any human authorship of the
Bible it (.has not been revealed.- Some
investigators believe it was, in part
compiled by a priest about the time
of David or Solomon, including Gen
esis and the writings of Moses. The
fragments were available from -the
talks that God had with Adam and
Noah and Abraham and Moses and
others. Fragments of history were
"necessarily Included.- Abraham's clerk
ents that Isaac took with him hisJ
wedding journey. It sems to be an i
element of human - nature to want to
perpetuate ; the great events cf the I
ages as they occur, either orally or by
Imperishable records. Adam, being" the
rirst man formed with a. soul, gives
us the first recorded communication
with Deity. ? Human beings without
souls may have existed long before,
as hinted . at in Genesis. 1 723. The
prophetic writings were added later.
but where does sectarianism come in?
California should not be deprived of
the glory of its legal acumen. The
United States has declared ;its faith
and policy by stamping the coins with
which we transact business with the
motto. "In God We Trust' As , the
devil is God's antagonist, I would sug
gest that the California motto should
be Tn the Devil We Trust" and let

the case, the comparison shows a pre
ponderance of the evidence support
ing Wm. There is not one man in 10
in America but believes Germany and
Russia are plotting. They believe it
because of what they have read and
seen. Not"one!in 10 but believes Ger
many is doing her level best to evade
reparations. There are none but know
that France at the end of the war
had suffered almost to the point of
collapse, the destruction of property by
Germany running into the hundreds of
billions of francs, with 1,800,000 of her
best young men dead . and more mil
lions crippled nd maimed. What an
enormous job France had on her hands
immediately following the armistice !
Millions of her peopie were driven from
their homes in rtW destroyed area ;
thousands upon thousands of homes
were utterly destroyed ; farming areas
were rendered useless; .industries were
destroyed ; hospitals were filled to over;
flowing with sick, maimed stnd crip
pled hundreds of millions must be
spent for pensions for "-the disabled.
In 1918 America- knew an awful trag
edy was taking place in Europe. She
knew it was taking place in France.
She knew it because millions of her
own sons were saturating the soil of
France with their blood.. In July,
1921, Mr. Harding said, iii great sol
emnity and on a very solemn occa
sion, "It must not be again." Clemen
ceau has come to America and cried
out "It ought not to be again." The
echo of this cry has encircled the
earth. Arid yet America, browbeaten
by a pitiful npinority, stands heedless
of the cry. Irt 1917 and 1918 America
assumed an awful responsibility, and
carried it magnificently. During the
four years elnce 1918 America has had
an awful responsibility, and has car
ried it dipsrracefully. . V

. COMPLAINS OF BAD ROAD
Seaside, Dec. 16. To the Editor of
The Journal f am a subscriber and
constant reader of The Journal and
would like to call the attention of the
highway commission to ' a piece of
road about nine miles long, beginning
where the Cartnon Beach road leaves
the Roosevelt highway, about four
miles from Seaside, and endinr at
Groate's, where it intersects the Tilla
mook end, I never see where they
are planning to do any work on it
Hundreds of people travel it also a
daily stage, and there are few con
venient places for care to pass. It is
cf ' easy grade, following' up the Ne
canicum river. I think there is no
elevation above 300 feet in the entire
length. I - believe in good roads?' but
think a fihort piece of road like this,
in such poor condition and so much
needed, should be finished -before
spending so much money on scenic
highways. C. J. Sly.

Town; Hall Gossip
Gleaned by
Rumor has been current alnce soon
after election.- when Stanhope S.- Pier
tn, Hty coihmlasionershlp,
that Sylvester S.
Pier.' his father,
would soon resign
from Tiis position
as city commis
sioner - and that
thai son - would be
appointed to fill
the vacancy.
V Tt's simply -one
of those - things
J that sre important
u true but com
sioner Pier ought
to"' snow, if any-
, one oocs, ana ne says -.he has' no Idea;
j or resigning h:s poet but wlU continue
uis oiiiciai -amies until me ena oi jus
term, the last of next June.
At that time, with the incoming of
.a new commissioner and Commis
sioner Biselow beirinnJnir his new
! term. It Is within the province of the'
": mayor to- reassign the :commissioner
i ships. Whether he has this in mind;
I do not know, cf course; but there
are rumors around the hall that
Bigelow may go back to his post ; as
commissioner of finance, now held by
the senior Pier and that Pier .junior
may become commissioner of dbb41c
.affairs, now held by Biigelow.
I'm reminded of the "circumlocution
office," or how not to do It made fa
mous by one of Charles Dickens
stories. In the ac
tion: , of property
owners on Morri
son,, and Madison
streets, . as they
mill around on the
subject of widen
ing these streets
sfrom Fifth ; street
to the Willamette
river. - There .ap
pears to be a de
cided 4 I sincllna
tion on the part
of some of the
property owners to do anything to
change present conditions on these
streets. - ,-.-.'.! .; ' '-"'" -
The theory that what w-as good
enoug-h for grandpa ought to be good
enough for ua will not apply when It
comes to those streets and the constant
growth of traffic thereon. Morrison
street owners may wake up some day to
find that there is a well-backed move
to place the bridge en some other
street that will provide a wide thor
oughfare when it is rebuilt, as It must
be, even from the traff&j point of view
alone, at a not so distant date.
On the other band, the Bumside
street property owners are showing
commendable zeal in goring ahead with
their street widening project even to
the exent of considering the creation
of a 110-foot thoroughfare.
In these programs It takes men of
real vision, men who can clearly see
v i that unless ' the
old business dis
trict on the west
side of the Wil
lamette river come
to a eieedy reali
zation of the fact
that narrow vil
lage streets,
jammed, with ve
hicles and pedes-J
trlans, cannot
comnete' with
broad avenues of
easy access if the
property owners and business interests
on the east side ct the river once get
started in a big way to make a real
retail district over there. With two-
thirds of the population of Portland
residing east of the fiver, sucn a
move may. come, unlere better means
of getting around on the west side are
matured. ' .
That retail business centers can shift
to long distances in the modern city is
well exemplified Ifi the move of a few
years ago which occurred in , Los
-Angeles. At that time 12 of the largest
retail stores of the southern city in a
body removed from upper Broadway
'way down to Seventh street and cre
ated an entirely new business center..
Captain H. A. Lewis, head of the
traffic squad, was the only man
elieible who didn't - take the promo
tional e x a mina
tion cf the Port
land civil service
board for inspec
tor Of police. All
the others in line,
even Police Chief
Jenkins him self,
took the quiz.
It Is not prob
able that the mat-'
ter of finally
passing, o n f; the
examinations .will
be concluded until
some time in January,, when the civil
service board gets back to normal
again. For - George C. Mason, the

missioncr, Mann,
under whose juris
diction comes the

fairness to the rest of ' the city this
can caroely be done. The result wiil
be that the .lights will be distributed
around, and when all are placed one
will , scarcely . be able to realize that
there, have been any additions. It is
probable that the allotment will be
one new light to each square mile ef
territory, and that would exhaust the
available supply. ; , . , i -
There has been more or 1cm serious
talk during the bWget-making period
and the later scaljng down f of the
budget by the conservation commission
of the advisability! of evolving some
scheme whereby streot lighting could
be provided for .under assessment' dis
tricts. The matter may, be j one of
those to bob up at the next: session
of 'the legislature, ' as it is probable
some ' enabling legislation would be
necessary to put it into effect ( Com

It all happened because the big ptla

off Saturday noon and not turned on
again until 6 o'clock Monday morning,
getting thoroughly chilled through and

it on the loss of "the boller"-the ol'
