THE OREGON STATESMAN SALEM, OREGON'
FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 15, 1927
FOSTER DESCRIBES
REALTY COIIK
359 Prospective Settlers Are
Visited; Many Plan to
Move to Oregon
Arthur Foster, representing tfie
land settlement department of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce,
told the Salem Realty board yes
terday of the existing conditions
la the agricultural middle west,
stressing the chance Oregon real
tors hare o successfully cash in
on such for the betterment of the
state.
Mr. Foster has been actively
connected with thia line of work
'since It was propagated by Port
land business men four years ago.
Since that! time 1560,000 has
been subscribed to carry on de
velopment for the state outside of
Portland. These funds will run
out Jn October of this year.
.Sent to the Mississippi valley
last fait. Mr. Foster visited 359
prospective settlers, nearly 100 of
whom will be in the state by
June 1. He describes southern
Wiscpnsin as the only section
even approaching the Willamette
valley in productivity and .that
due to the j astuteness with which
the dairying industry is being car
ried on.
"If Oregon farmers, who cry
about the weather, fret about the
prices, snarl at politics, and curse
the state for its tax policies could
only , see the situation mid-westerners
are facing, they would soon
realixe how fortunate they are.

camp has abided by the law-by
having no colors at all. spending
its money in lieu of pensions, and
marching in patriotic parade
without a mark or sign. People
wondered who those middle-aged
or elderly "duffers" were. As a
matter of fact, they served almost
two years for the nation, for $li
a month whether they earned it
or not, and they left some of their
springy step and their military
march on a lot of hot battlefields
and hotter, deadlier fever swamps.

Editor Statesman:
The Lions club is to be congrat
ulated for bringing Captain Roald
Amundsen to Salem. Amundsen
is not only a famous explorer but
he is also probably the greatest
living sailor, the last of a long
line of windjammer captains and
a genuine master of the craft of
the sea as it,wa3 before scientific
instruments made navigation easy
and charts and lighthouses ren
dered disaster remote.
His . recent drifting over the
North Pole In the dirigible Norse
bulks largely in the public eye
but compared to his other exploits
this feat sinks into insignificance
Amnnd3en went to sea first in the
whalers and sealing ships of his
own country and he won his Arctic
spurs with the Gerlache expe
dition of "97. He reached the
South Pole before the ill-starred
Englishman, Scott, in 1911. but
five years before that date he had
already achieved the most roman
tic voyage of all that of sailing
the half-legendry Northwest Pas
sage.
For over 300 years famous cap
tains and explorers sought the
route northwest to t'athay and the
Indies. Davis. Frobisher. Ross.
Baffin, Hudson and Franklin all
tried and failed. Hudson and
Franklin perished in the ice. Many
otheys perished. They left their
names largely 6h the charts, but
the Northwest Passage they did
notufind. But -Amundsen made it,
in Tftf little 5 0-to sloop called the
Gjoa, carrying only half a dozen
men. It took mm years arid
cannot recall that any other man
has repeated the voyage since,
(reatewt Living Adventurer
The history of the Northwest
Passage is largely the history of
North America. The lure of it.
the tremendous potential advant
ages it offered for trade, drew the
attention of all Europe for three
centuries to! the western hemi
sphere and had a far-reaching ef
fect on the settlement of this con
tinent. Amundsen is too near us
yet to bulk as romantically as
Hudson or Frobisher, but the years
will make hiin secure to the -forefront
of explorers and captains of
all time. His North and South
Pole exploits and his discovery of
the Northwest Passage will stand
as definite milestones in the his
tory of international transporta
tion. He is the greatest livinge
adventurer. Not one of us who
have followed the sea are fit, to
black his shoes.
He has taken ships to monstrous
places, in uncharted and mysteri
ous seas. And he has come back,
brought his ships home. Anyone
who knows the difficulties and
dangers of even ordinary naviga
tion will understand and appreci
ate that. His visit to Salem will
be memorable. He stands- in a
halo of terrific achievement. Great
explorer and scientist as he is', I
salute him chiefly as a sailor. It
is not given to every man to walk
in the footsteps of the illustrious
of his own profession and outshine
them all. Amundsen's honor is
the greater when you consider just
how illustrious those other cap
tains were.

(Most people of the English
speaking world know Mr. Wetjen
as an outstanding writer of books

sation Important
"People's voices change with
the times," said Manager Dancy
yesterday in commenting on a
voice personality campaign being
initiated by the Telephone Com
pany in Salem today.
"Twenty years ago. when mov
ies were unknown, wo attended
the theater and heard, at intervals
at least, actors like Robert Man
tell, whose ennunciation and gen
eral use of the voice were models
for all who heard them. Watching
silent phantoms in the movie
world has not conduced to speech
improvement, though the inven
tion of the Vitaphone may have
great value in this connection.
"If television ever becomes uni
versal, the voice as carried over
the telephone will not be so im
portant, as facial expression and
gestures will add to intelligibility.
At present, "howeven the voice is
the only reliance for contact in
millions of telephone conversa-
tions daily. ' and its importance
cannot be t6 greatly emphasized"
