The oDDortunitv came to eo on a the Oreeron State Motor association. The full description of the journey will appear in later Sunday issues in the series oi motoriogs oi tne association, ana win ue written uy x-1 au Barton of the Oregonian news staff who; was in, the party, .along with Ben Litfin of The Dalles Chronicle and Vinton Hall of the Oregon Motorist. ! Many years ago, before coming to Oregon we read the fascinating essay by Dallas Lore Sharp,! "From Bend to Burns." so the region has long exploration. The automobile made the remote rjlaces rmich country itself remains little changed. It is still the land of high plateaus and higher mountains, of deserts spotted with well-watered stock ranches, bare of trees save for the hardy juniper on the. lower levels and sturdy pine spraying the flanks of the mountains. Deserted homesteaders shacks tell the story of disappointment ' changes. In general southeastern rreonon of wide flats broken with irregular and unconnected mountain massifs. Sometimes the mountains are single buttes which stand out like full breasts, rock-nippled, on the bosom of Mother Earth. Sometimes they are long ridges with easy slopes or again witlva sheer escarpment like the Abert 5 rim north of Lakeview or Steens mountains on the east front. Sometimes there are small ranges of mountains. The road usually follows the flats, a tawny, undulating ribbon across a grey green sea of sage; and always the flat is rimmed with ridges. The economy of the plateau region is still principally . live stock, cattle and sheep. But the numbers have been sadly reduced by the drouth of late ; age by over-grazing. An experiment station, which the party visited, at the old Gap ranch toward Burns, has been estab lished to test methods of restoring the range lands. Sixty- eight varieties of grass seeds the ranch is being stocked with er testing of grange restoration under practical conditions. Lumbering has come in, and is Bums and Lakeview, manufacturing pine for middlewestern markets. 1 It would appear to the writer that a resource yet unde- , veloped is the tourist resource. For here is a land rich in rec reational possibilities. It is of course much patronized in the deer hunting season; but it should be advertised for its scen ic and historical attractions. Little effort has been made to develop commercially the recreation possibilities of the cat tle ranches,--dude ranches without the dude; horseback rid ing, sunshine, high altitude, light air. The country needs im proved roads, and western Oregon should lend a hand to en courage the highway commission in the early completion of the primary highways in that portion of the state. ' The particular objectives on the trip were the wild fowl refuge at Malheur lake and. the old P ranch of Blitzen valley, and the antelope refuge on Hart mountain which lies between the Blitzen country and Lakeview. It was a rare treat to see many Varieties of geese and ducks nesting or swimming or flying on this refuge. The waters of the Blitzen river are be ing spread over the lands so as to form a succession of ponds and marshes interspersed with grassy hummocks to make an ideal spofcfor wild fowl to mate and rear their young. Like wise it was thrilling, to ride the antelope range and see these interesting animals in their native habitat; Usually they keep at considerable distance but occasionally one leaps up close at hand. These refuges will be described more completely by Barton. The point. we wish to make is that they make a real asset for the state of interest not only to our own people but to those of other states who are interested in wild life. Coming back to the Willamette valley one saw the great ranches shrink to small farms laid out in neat fields ; and the ' sage-covered flats and ridges change to cultivated fields or fir-clad slopes. The contrast was pronounced; but there is a : real tonic for the habitant of this valley to vacation for a pe riod in the interior, where distant horizons and the bracing dry air change radically his mental outlook. Oregon spends money to attract other folk here.' We need to patronize our own state more fully because of the amazing diversity it of fers in scenery, in climate and in geography. Strife Within Unions ; THE picket line at the. Meier and Frank 'Warehouse in Portland is just a sector of a far-flung battle line be tween the Green organization and the Lewis organiza tion in labor, and between quite different conceptions of la bor in its larger relations. The immediate scrap is over which union shall control the warehousemen. The teamsters union, a charted body under AF of L, with Dave Beck of Seattle as the dominating figure, claims jurisdiction. That would be the orthodox arrangement But some months atgo Harry Bridges, boss of ILA, the longshore organizations-Announced a "march inland, by which the longshore grottp would or ganize warehousemen at interior points. ; Bridges and ILA play ball with John L. Lewis and CIO. The Portland fight is sharp because the whole struggle impinges on it. The rivalry between AF of L" and CIO is nominally be 'tween the craft and industrial types of organization, between -horizontal unions and vertical unions. Green holds to the craft type while Lewis wants to organize mass production in dustries not by crafts but in the mass like his own United Mine workers. The Green group is more conservative than Lewis. The AF of L has been distinctly hostile to commun ism; the Lewis leadership shades off rapidly in that direc tion. Bridges declaration at Seattle ("the workers have noth ing in common with the employing class) reveals the radical ideas of men like himself, Dubinsky and Hillman. The ultimatum of Green to Portland labor leaders broke up efforts at peace. He ordered the central labor council to oust intruding ILA groups if they persisted in their "march in land. This may or may not settle the Portland fuss; but the battle will continue on the wider front until one side or the other gets a victory. .-.';!; Another sector on the battle line is the organization in the lumber industry. The union now federates through the carpenters brotherhood; but a CIO group wants to swing the timber and lumber mill workers into a CIO affiliate. There is some chance they may succeed because the bosses of the AF of L carpenters union sandpapered the noses of the new lumber union representatives at the Tampa convention, and the scratches are-still sore. A third entry in the lumber industry is the new IEU, successor to the old Four-L, which is organized as an independent union with numerous locals in this valley. I .

J. HENDRICKS Bonneville dam f 5-21-S7 connects up with the Seton and Reed fort . on the Willamette river: . W (Continuing from yesterday:) The June, 19 S 5, Oregon Histor ical Quarterly contained an article contributed by Fred S. Perrlne, Oregon City, which shows plainly that Alfred Seton, co-builder ot the lower Willamette Aator fort and chief backer ot BonnerUle, was a cultured and canny man. Mr. Perrlne furnished the. fol lowing quoted paragraphs by way ot an introduction to the mala article: Is "One hundred years ago, 1835. there appeared, in the Slay and July numbers of - the American Monthly Magazine two articles entitled, "Life on the Oregon. Other than the signature of the initial 'A, there was no Inkling as to the identity of the author. He stated that the 'lore of wealth' alone was not the determining factor for his taking this Toy age to the Oregon country. From other sources we find that he was to re ceive 200 a year for his services. He described a few of his exper iences beginning in April, 1313. In his preliminary statement he ad mits that he had been near the Rocky mountains the previous winter, where he and his party had heard that war had been de clared between the United States and Great Britain. They immed iately cached their goods and started for Astoria with the start ling news. "At the. beginning of his nar rative his party is now on the wsy to Snake river for the purpose ot trying to secure the goods which they had cached. This party, as stated, consisted of Donald : Me Kenzie, John Reed and himself, with 17 men. "Later in this article he men tions that he had been in the froz en north, Norfolk Sound, for in stance, and had also been in the wilds of South America, in the Orinoco country. "From the circumstances, of this expedition as related by Fran chere and Ross, and subsequent events, it is possible to state that the name of this anonymous au thor was Alfred Seton. . "Seton had arrived at Astoria on the Beaver, May 9, 1812. He made several excursions to the in terior with McKenzie and early in 1813 led a party to the post on the Willamette. He embarked on the Pedler w,Ith Hunt (Wilson Price Hunt) in 1814. visiting Sitka (Norfolk Sound) Kamtschatka, San Bias. He finally made his way back to the United States, by way of the Isthmhs of Darlen, Carthagena, . Island of Jamaica, and New York. In 185 he was vice president ot the Sun Mutual Insurance company. New York. . "Another important fact brought out about Alfred Seton is that he was one of the financial backers of Captajn Bonneville's expedition." V So ends the Perrlne introduc tion. There can be no sort of doubt of the fact that Alfred Seton was the man who wrote the articles, as Mr. Perrlne said. But when Perrine wrote: "He . . . early in 1813 led a party to the post of the Willamette," (meaning Al fred Seton), he evidently thought the party led to WUlamette went either to the Wallace fort, or to the lower Willamette fort, and that the last named one had been established before that time. The Bits man believes that Mr. Perrine would now agree that Seton. with John Reed, went to the Willamette early in 1813, and that they led the party which erected the lower Willamette fort of the Astors, and were back at Astoria March 20 with all their boats would hold of dried ven ison and : f resh meat. '-" , Now for the articles, "Life on the Oregon, of course meaning the Columbia river, beginning: "Genial spring has succeeded a stormy winter: the unpleasant and dreaded part of the year, to those who are exposed, by the nature of an Indian life, to hear the moanlngs of the tempest, and have no shelter to avoid the storm, had passed. The mUd airs of the west had brought with them the bland temperature of a more sunny clime; in short, the middle of April (1813) had come, the period fixed for our company, to return to t h e upper country." (Meaning what are now eastern Oregon and Idaho, and-the parts of Montana and Wyoming west of the Rockies' summits.) (Continued tomorrow.)

Van Devanter. i The resignation of Justice Van Devanter does not come as a surprise to this column. It is even p o s s 1 b le that another Jus tice, perhaps one from the Liberal side of the bench, will also resign before the sum mer is out. This resignation, and any- that; may follow it, 'may be variously inter preted. Some will Dosotfcy Tkoapaoa say that the re tiring Justice has yielded to pres sure, as many have accused Jus tice Roberts of doing, in moving over on the liberal side. 1 In a sense they have yielded to nressure. but that is not the im portant thing about what has happened. It has been apparent that the nine Justices, all of them, ; without exception, and without regard for their conser vative or liberal predilections, have intended, and do intend, to save the dignity and the ststus of the supreme court of the Unit ed States. They have intended, and do intend, to save the prin ciple of legitimate, constitutional government in this country from personal - usurpation. Some may argue that Justice Robert's switch and Justice Van Devanter's res ignation allow the president to win the substance of his propo sals merely preserving the tradi tional form. That is true. But we may be thankful that on the supreme bench and in the con gress itself are men who are statesman enough to know that the form is prodigiously impor tant. All government, all civili sation, and ail democracies must be formal. Otherwise the nation heads straight into chaos. The supreme court does not Intend, and a majority in the senate do not intend, to permit the pres ident to fill the supreme bench with stooges and under the most disingenuous excuse enlarge and pack the court The bench is go ing to be liberalized, but It going to be liberalised in the tradition al way. New appointments, if any, will be legitimate . appoint ments, to fill legitimate vacan cies, and not newly created jobs to assure a yes-bench for the president, or .for any temporary majority. The man who . is ap pointed in the retired Justice's place will be appointed in the traditional way, and not to repre sent on the bench the president's wishes. This is as important a difference as possible. - The justice's resignation Is the more effective because it comes when the fight against the pres ident's proposals is all but won. We have watched, for weeks now. the alow change In the at titude of the senate Judiciary committee, from the point where there was an apparent majority for the president, to yesterday, when the bill was voted out ad versely by ten to eight. We hare also watched the group in favor of some sort of compromise swing over to outright opposition. A similar evolution has taken place in the senate and. though prob ably to a lesser extent, in the house The 'president's proposals are beaten it they come to a vote In the senate, according to gen eral reports. e . Why has this happened? The political strength is overwhelm ingly with the president. The po litical machine has been act frelv supporting him. It has cracked down on wavering or adverse senators -with promises of per. son si retaliation if they did not support the proposals. But the , a ... t-zszri-- i On the Record . By DOROTHY THOMPSON It Must Be the Spring Weather - - Xv senators have become decreasing- ly fearful of these threats, as 'it became increasingly apparent that the proposal to pack the court was deeply unpopular in the country. Many Americans ha ve been shocked: most have been made uneasy; nobody, not ejren the bill's public supporters, liked tne manner in which it was-; launched; some of them, like Mr. Morris.. Ernst, admitted publicly that- it was? creating a . dangerous precedent:, altogether, the propo sal got the hook, and the repre sentatives in Washington knew It and began to feel that, they could stand again in their constituen cies on this issue and possibly be re-elected even with the hostility of Mr. Farley.. The whole campaign has been the greatest, failure in the presi dent's career. It has been abso lutely Impossible for his support ers to make a Liberal ts. Con servative issue out ot It. First of all, the line-up In congress, the spontaneous line-up, precluded that issue. Senator Wheeler, a liberal, who in the last congress fought valiantly for the utility holding company bill, which was the target of the "Economic Roy alists" and was opposed at the time by his party colleagues. Sen ator Dletrichs, came out to lead the opposition to the judiciary bill while his less liberal oppo nent supported It as a regular party fellow. Wheeler, Shipstead. Nye, Frazier, Borah, Johnson, democrats and progressives, are all against it. Every republican is against it, which has been by no means true ot the whole Roosevelt program. The conserv ative democrats are against it. What are left are mostly yes men. Not altogether. Let us be fair. Senator LaFollette, and Senator Norris are not yes-men But by and large th support for the bill has been plain subservi ence to the president's wishes and to Mr. Farley's. The attitude ot the members ot the -supreme bench also made It impossible to present the propos al a a great liberal measure. When Chief Justice Hughes and Ten Years Ago ' May 21, 1027 John H.

Todd Is speaking this morning at the Pringle achool house. his topic being the relation ot the church to the schooL Justice Brandeis coupled their names in the statement which dismissed once and tor all the charge that the bench was not keeping up with its work, it be came apparent that the bench, 'also, which has been divided on many questions, was not divided on this one. The supreme bench is an instrument of the state, not of the majority. It does not rep resent the prevailing congress ion al majority, and it is not an ap pendage of the presidency Whether or not that should re main a fact In our American sys tem of government has been the issue, and the only Issue. And the votes against the president's pro posals are votes against personal usurpation of power, simply that and nothing more. : The president's campaign, by now, has degenerated into a ques tion of . personal prestige. . The people who are still supporting the 'proposals admit that their sole interest is that the president should not be defeated. It would be, they say, & terrific blow against his leadership; it would amount to catastrophe. If the president hardens and insists on both form and sub stance this column believes thai will be his catstrophe. "But per haps we -know too little of the politician's mind. Whenever has it been ignoble to admit a mis take, or unattractive to accept defeat in a sportsmanlike man ner? - ' . ' The court is on the liberal side now. The conventions until now hare' been preserved. We still have legitimate government. If the president goes on insisting, not only that he wants a liberal court but that he wants It to be His court, organized in His way, the whole campaign will cease to have even dignity, and we shall begin to suspect that the presi dent cares more for his personal prestige than he care for what he started out to get. Bat inch struggles for prestige are petty, and petulant, characteristic ot the politician, not of the statesman.
