persons, circulating the re

was to procure lower car fare, lor
lower, telephone rates, or light

that contended the petitions, after
a large number of names had
been affixed to them, were fled
away and held as clubs in ah at
tempt to Influence the actions of
the commissioners.
Early Call Intended '
Secretary of State Kozer, It Is
understood, had intended to issue
the call tomorrow for the recall
election,' the purpose being to
have it take place on the same
date as the state primary elec
tion. May If. However, It is ex
plained that the recall provisions
til the constitution allows for the
call being issued within 20 days
of the election date, and also al
lows recall candidates 10 days be
fore the election In which to file
This would make it possible tor
the secretary of state to Issue the
call as late as May 8 and yet have
the election on the same day as
the primary elections.
Official Not to Quit
Other developments in the re
call affair yesterday were "the re
fusals of both Williams and Buch
tel to resign. Under the law they
have five days after the date the
petitions are filed in which to re
sign. This period expires today.
Both officials sent letters to the
secretary of state announcinr
that they would not resign and

editorially:
"We find that Vhen the crisis
of 1917 occurred he had the sum
of $140,000 for organizing the
state's manpower and resources.
It was a time when no questions
were asked and no expenses need
be spared. It was a time when
he could have spent the $140,000
of the people's money and secured
a deficiency appropriation with
out a murmur of dissent. What
happened? Five months later
when the state's perfect organiza
tion had been completed he had
$90,000 of that $140,000 left, and
he Tecbmmended that it revert to
the taxpayers."

THE BUILDERS OF THE BUCKEYE CABIN
(By LOWELL M. SHOEMAKER)
(Written for The Statesman)
Far np in the Cascade moun
tains. In the territory drained by
the little north fork of the Santi
am there is an old cabin that is
decaying and falling down. Of
late years it hase been dubbed the
Buckeye cabin. This cabin is said
to have been bnilt shortly after
the close of teh Cfvil war, by ad
venturous men who had wandered
far beyond the last outpost of
civilization. The Structure is sit
uated high upon a steep mountain
but from It there is little view to
be had of the surrounding coun
try, as the cabin is smothered in
the forest. A tiny stream of crys
tal water flows down the steep
near by, and, on its banks there
are beds of beautiful green moss,
moss such as fairies might e hoose
for summer couches. At the little
rill a ledge of base ore crops out.
It Is four or fire feet wide and
from It one may gather some very
nice samples. This ledge of course
was the incentive for those who
built the cabin. The walls of the
building were made by putting up
logs with the bark on, and these
logs are now 'falling rapidly into
decay.. The roof, made of cedar
shakes, has withstood the ravages
of time and even now show but
few signs of giving up the battle.
One- day, while out prospecting,
I climbed to the very top of this
spur of the range and it was late
in the afternoon when I conclud
ed to return to camp. As my near
est route home was by Way of the
cabin. I started In that direction.
A typical , mountain storm was
brewing, and, by the time I
reached the old building, the wind
was" roaring through the forest.
f.raln was beginning to fall, and
twilight had almost deepened into
night. And the wind was'growing
stronger every minute; shallow
rootel trees were being overturn
ed and snags were being broken
off by the blasts that swept furi
ously over rfdges' and canyons.
Rapidly I thought the matter over
and concluded that It 3 would be
much safer to spend the night at
the cabin than to proceed through
the timber in the gathering
gloom. A few minutes of gray
light yet remained,- ao I set to
work gathering wood, and, by the
time the inky darkness had set
tled down, I had a good supply of
chunks and dead limbs piled on
the floor.' Then I lighted a fire in
the fireplace at the end of the
room.
I had been at the place a-n.um
ber of times before but had taken
ittlef notice of the interior. Ndw,
however, as the fire grew bright
and danced merrily up the chim
ney, I looked around the : room

save that this one was extremely
primitive. It was plain that the
only tools used in its construction
had been the av and he auger.
The door was wihout hinges and
had probably been held In place
by a brace or bar. Three or
four feet above the dirt floor
holes had been bored In the logs
and wooden pins inserted. Nail
were evidently unknown in these
parts at that time. On the floor
lay two or three wooden spoors
which had been carved out witn
a knife. They were well shaped
and must have served their pur
pose admirably. There- were no
windows; but the low, broad
chimney let In some light in da?
time, enough perhaps to satisfy
the occupants. Two rude benches
had served for, chairs. j
Having completed my Inspec-j
tion of the room. I piled more
wood on the fire, placed one of
the benches near the wall at the
side of the fireplace, filled and lit
my pipe and settled down to n-,
joy the warmth. Outside the
rain was falling in torrents, an J
the great trees as they swung and
whirled by the fury of the wind,
made a swishing sound like the
waves of the sea. At times it
seemed as though high pitched
voices were calling, but In reality
It was only the cries of the de
mons of the storm. After a time
I finished my pipe and leaninp
back against the wall I was soon
lulled to sleep by the savage mu
sic of the elements. And as 1
slept I dreamed of those who
built the, cabin.
Much of what I dreamed was
mysterious and distorted like the
strange figures that the firelight
throws upon the wall. Some of
it was quite coherent and stands
recorded Upon the film of mem
ory and It is these coherent parts
that I shall try to piece together
and relate in terms that one may
understand.
I saw the cabin when but new
ly finished; I saw guns, hunting
knives, and heavy clothing hang
ing on the wooden pins; I saw
two men dressed in the rough
custumes of the frontier sitting
by the fire. One was a large
man with a shaggy beard in which
there 'were streaks of gray. His
great form might have served as
a model for Rodin when he
chiseled "The Thinker." The
other man was of medium height.
with limbs well rounded and mus
cles firmly knit. His neck was
rather thick, his chest deep and
full; iu fact, for the endurance
of great hardships, " he was an
ideal combination of bone and
muscle. He wag perhaps less than
30 years of age.
The older man was sitting mo
tionless as If lost in thought, or.
mayhap, he only watched the red
tongues of flame that leaped, and
crackled, and danced upon the
hearth. .The other man was speak
ing and his voice was so soft and,
low that it fell upon my ear as
soothing as a mother's lullaby.
"The war all but ruined us,"
he was saying, "so I resolved to
leave the land of my birth and
seek my fortune In the boundless
west. The old home was In
northern Pennsylvania, where the
beautiful vineyards bear each year
their preciouB burdens, and blue
Lake Erie smiles and dances, and
flings sweet kisses to the summer
sun. . . . My youngest brother
was swallowed up in the great
conflict. He fell on the red field
of battle, a shell-torn sacrifice to
the heartless demon of war.''
Then be went on to tell of how,
cn a beautiful summer evening.
when the air was filled with the
hum of insects, and the night
birds were calling In the willows.
he said goodbye to ail that he held
most dear. He told of the father
and mother who-wejre bowed down
with sorrow at the parting, and
of the sweetheart he left sobbing
in the moonlight. He told of the
iron hand of pain that had
clutched. savagely at his throat. :
lla related that he Went to
New York and there secured pas
sage on a sailing vessel bound
for the then little-known port of
eattle . so far away on Paget
Hound Ten days out of New
York they encountered stormy
weather, and from that time on
they were destined to battle with
the elements As they neared the
Horn the (tornvs increased Jn
fury and they rounded that far
southern point in seas that were
running mountain, high Every
thing became "confuted, and I
lost the " thread of the narrative
for a time, but when bis words
came distinctly . again, ttie was
saying:'
"The ship fled madly onward;
she was rolling, pitching and toss
ing, the spray flying through her
shroudfs and her masts threaten
ing to snap as she bent before
tjhe tempest. The sailors who
mauned her were as courageous
as the heroes : 'whom Homer
sang. Sometimes they laugbed
and someti mes they cursed In
the teeth of the raging wind; de
fiant were they as the gods in the
battles of old."
The man stopped speaking and
seemed to be living over again the
things of which he had been tell
ing. After some time he went
on:
"At last after many months we
rounded Cape ' ITattery, sailed
through the. straits -and Into the
iulet -water of the sound. ilk':

ed his narrative.
Sine then I have been a wan
derer, chasinng the rainbow hith
er and thither, and here I am to
night In this cabin far from the
haunts of men If we have struck
it In this vein. or. some other
turn of the wheel of fortune
brings me wealth. I will go back
yes," and bis voice sank almost
to a whisper, "I will go back and
claim her otherwise. I jhave
burned the bridbes behind mer
I will never return If I have to
go. bearing with me the skele
ton of disappointment."
The bearded man. who had all
this time sat silent a the sphinx,
wheeled suddenly upon his com
panion. .' Damn the wealth." he roared
In a voice that caused the roof
and rafters to vibrate. "Damn
the gold! Go back, money or no
money!
If I were you I would return
even though I had to pass thfotfgh
hell ia order to reach rny destina
tion!" He paused a moment and
then continued more gently:
"The west is full of outcasts
like me; men whose hearts are
empty; men whose souls crave for
something I know not what, un
less it be for home and loved ones.
Think of a life stretching away
into solitude with only a grave at
the end of the long trail. The lure
of wealth; the curse of all curees!
The devil only knows how many
lives it has ruined how many
hearts it has shriveled and de
stroyed."
These men were speaking of
things that lay very close to their
innermost souls. They had al
most forgotten each other's pres
ence and they did not know that
I was there to listen. Their
masks of carelessness, savagery.
and. pride, had been lifted; the
real men stood revealed.
A report like that of cannon
sounded above the storm. I awoke
with 'a .start, A tree had been
broken oft and had been cast
down the mountain side. I opened
my eyes to find the little room in
darkness, for only a few coals
glowed faintly among the ashes
on the hearth. I rebuilt the fire
and was soon fast asleep once
more, but my visitors did not re
turn to share the waarmth with
me. When I awoke again the day
was breaking. The storm god had
