"Weather and Fire j At Sweet Home, a sawmill was destroyed by; fire early Tuesday morning The fire broke out after the .night shift had left the mill, and was caused, the operators ! believe, by friction of a conveyor belt which had come loose from its pul ley. The great Tillamook region forest fire of a few years ago was caused by friction of a cable, used in logging, on a stump. Also on Tuesday in Linn county, large stores of nay in two separate barns were menaced by the process which is un scientifically called "spontaneous combustion." The nay in one of these barns was keing removed as rapidly, as possible in the hope of saving the barn; the hay was bursting into flames as soon as it was exposed to the air. f : m Throughout the Jnorthwest serious fires were being fought, and the layman was blaming the heat wave. It played a part of course : but foresters know that relative humidity is a much more important factor. The figure denoting relative humidity represents the percentage of moisture present m the atmosphere with relation to the saturation pointy at which clouds or fog would be formed; Heat does lower the relative humidity by raising the saturation point; but wind and other movement of air also plays a part in lowering humidity, in contrast to the higher humidity of days we describe as sul-try,"-when the air is still. On such days people are more un comfortable but there is less danger of fire. - j Discovery of the importance of relative humidity to dan ger of fire has made it possible for foresters to gauge more scientifically the fire danger at any given time. At present, of course, conditions are extremely, hazardous throughout the northwest This newer scientific basis for prediction makes the warnings of foresters more authoritative. Logging and sawmilling operators accept these warnings without ques tion and shut down, either with or without official orders. Similar heedf ulness on the part of the general public will help to reduce the number of costly fires in the forests. In the Willamette national forest to the east of Salem, a general closure to all travel except on the North Santiam highway acd the Breitenbush road is now in effect. Other en try may bemade only by permit. Compliance with these re strictions, and care about smoking even in cars along these roads, will keep the visitor to the forests "in the clear" le gally and may prevent acosthconfiagration. j Transmission Lines to Be Built Five transmission lines will be constructed for the dis tribution of electric energy from Bonneville dam. One main line will run from the dam to Coulee dam, interconnecting these power plants and enabling, the government to buy ener gy from itself for completing the construction at Coulee. An other line, also 230 kilovolt, will run from the dam to Van couver, Wash., on the north side of the Columbia, j From Vancouver a line will run north to Kelso and Aberdeen and south to Eugene. A line will run from the dam east to The Dalles. The total cost of $10,750,000 is to be provided from PWA funds. Two years will be required for the construction work. . . ! I Main transmission lines distributing energy at wholesale will be of no value unless connections are made for distribu tion. Who is going to buy this energy? J. D. Ross, adminis trator, says he has the energy for sale to public; and private purchasers. The power companies which have;tbe existing distribution facilities have made no move to buy energy. Whe ther the rates are not attractive, or whether they are holding back for other reasons we do not know. Washington has some public districts formed which will be in the market for Bonneville energy. Oregon has none within the transmission area. it is not hard to foresee developments which will put thirurs in a mess. It would be a silly waste to build the trans mission lines and have no customers. Mere displacement of present generating equipment represents an economic loss un less a marked savincr results. Buildinsr public lines to parallel existing lines is uneconomic for "economic planning" which will utilize the energy oi .Bon neville for the public welfare at a minimum of disaster to ex isting investment. Those in authority, both federal and state, ought to counsel with all interested parties to effect a wise so lution of the Bonneville problem. ! ease I c . ! . Contemplating Creative Genius Whoever appreciates genius, they tell us, shares to some extent in it. Whoever enjoys a really great book or symphon ic music, or is able to assimilate some new, brilliant idea pre sented by writer or speaker, has in himself the principal el ements of the ability which created those works and ideas. It is a comforting thought, enabling those of us who have not created mightily, to avoid envy. We Americans, hav ing assimilated the idea that all men are created equal, dis like intensely to admit mental inferiority. We do not so much mind the idea of. physical inferiority because we may fall back on the contention that mind is more important; and we all have our defenses against any admission of social infer iority although, as Ruggles of Red Gap concluded after deep reflection, no one minds admitting that he has some social in feriors. It is from admitting that there are persons superior to ourselves that we rebel. " ! " But on the question of mentalityOw e are all touchy. There are some "outs. We may point to the gifted one's greater op portunity for education, for travel, for leisure to pursue cre ative thought and practice. Or we may seize at the explana tion of our former fellow townsman, Albert Richard Wetjen, whose answer to questions about his literary success was the one word "poverty. Economic necessity drove hira to achievementor so he modestly contended. j I It is true that some men create while others of apparent ly equal talents gravitate to the role of critic. Perhaps it is true that all who appreciate great thoughts and great works have in them the germ of equal greatness. But they must lack . some spark, some inward compulsion, possessed by those who do create and achieve. That may be a spiritual, rather than a ' mental quality. One element of it may be determination, an other may be energy and another may be courage. : j . . ' -. I When Bonneville power begins to get in Its real licks, we'll hare electric chairs for files.

HENDRICKS California's first governor, 7-2 1-3 S an Oregon man, highly praised by great editor of Golden State: He was our own Peter IL Burnett: ; , . v. (Continuing from I yesterday: ) StUl quoting Governor Burnett: "The people of California may be aafely - trusted upon this sub ject, for there are no people more able, and willing to pay the Just taxes necessary to support the government . than ; they.- What property tbej have commands a high and ready price, paid In the precious metals; and labor meets such ample reward that no heal thy man can complain of poverty. The law protects every man In his person ; and , property. For the protection it girea his person he ought to pay a capitation, or poll tax, and for the protection it girea his property, he ought of right to pay a tax in proportion to its amount and ralue. "Governor Burnett then went on with a curious device to secure the payment of both these taxes, from a populatic-" so migratory and In many cases so transitory as much of the population of Cal ifornia was then. That was 'that no individual who shall refuse to pay his taxes, being able, when they, shall be legally demanded, shall bo permitted to bring a civil suit in any conrt in this state for the period of one year, and not then until all arrearages are paid.' In other words, whoever would not pay the public debt he owed the state should have no means of collecting private debts owned to himself. , iThese were old fashioned pre cepts, of a simpler time and some of them could no longer be ap plied literally to the more com-, plex conditions of public and prlv-; ate life . today. "But the principle behind them Is sound and changeless. The In terest In this particular formula tion of that priciple Is merely his toric. They happen to be the first official words spoken In and to the state of California. Other wise they are no more important than the same truths expressed at any other time by anybody else. Benjamin Franklin had done it even better. The arithmetic does it best of all. And because the arithmetic is changeless; because it rests on nobody's authority and is repealable by nobody's rotes, the precepts' based on it are like wise permanert." So ends the editorial article taken from the San Francisco Chronicle. Regular readers of this column know that Peter H. Burnett, first governor of California, came to Oregon with the 1843 covered wagon train, the first cavalcade of. the kind to bring their wagons all the way through the'Apple gate train." V Burnett, 'leader of a large con tingent in the wagon train from Weston, Mo., bad been Influential in that state had served as pros ecuting attorney, having been a practicing lawyer. When the thousand-odd people of that wagon train organized and adopted rules, preparatory to making their epochal start, they chose Peter H. Burnett captain and J. W. Nesmith orderly ser geant. They both became national figures, as did several other mem bers, not overlooking the Apple gates. Later, John Gantt. a "mountain man. who knew the .trail, was made captain of the leading sec tion of the train, and Jesse Apple gate of the "cow column," the fol lowing section." Burnett came quickly into lead ership positions In the Oregon country. At the first election at the polls of officials of the pro visional government. In; 1844 (May 14), he was chosen a mem ber of the unicameral legislature of eight members,, then called legislative committee. Only three districts (as what became counties were then called) were represented, four of the members from Tualatin district, of which Burnett was one. A. L. Lovejoy was from the Clackamas district, the other three from Champoeg district, that became Marion coun ty. The three were Daniel Waldo T. D. Kaiser, Robert Newell. New ell had been a mountain man and had an Indian wife. The other two were of the 1843 wagon train. They all' of; course brought their white wires with them. Though some brought colored slares. Any Oregonian who has not read the gorernors message to that first elected Oregon: legis lature (1844) should do so.. Tt is found at page 429, first rolume of Bancoft's Oregon History. The goTernors. message Is not a typo graphical error. There were three gorernors then, elected on the same date as the eight legis lators. May 14. They were P. O. Stewart, Osborne i Russell and W. J. Bailey. The last named,' Dr. Bailey,. English, was a well edu cated man. though he drank, too much alcohol and was not a good husband. Russell was a "moun tain man. born In Maine, as well trained as Bailey, and In 1 ablts and character much, superior. Stewart came with the 1843 im migration, and was worthy. They were the second and last of the triumvirate the . three ; governor functionaries. That one and only governors' message was a gem, worthy of its unique place in Ore gon history. .V' 'r The committee on rules of that first Oregon legislature elected at the polls, with its eight members It was entitled to nine but Yam hill district did not elect con sisted of Burnett.

Interpreting the New By MARK s iAVONDALE, Chester County, Pa.. July 20 Here in eastern Fennsylrania Is or '' was tbe cdantry of the spring house; her- they - were more common than, elsewhere and more solidly built. The - spring house belt ran from southern New York state through Pennsylrania and Maryland to - the Potomac river. I nerer saw one "in rsew Eng land, nor in the west or south. thourh my observation may be lnttomnlete. lerel country they could hardly be the existence of them depended on springs, which as a rule bubble up only on the slopes of hills in rolling country. Around the spring, were built wails of strong masonry and orer it J a , bight roof. The one on tWs farm, and many others in eastern Pennsylvania, had a sec ond st dry: It was In act a small house. Around it, to shade its and help keep It ' cool, : were nlanted maple - trees: on some farms a few oaks or beeches or locusts of the original forest were kept. Center of Actirity : ;-When I .was a boy here the spring house. was a principal scene of farm activity. After milking each morning and ere nlng. the milk, contained in shal low tin palls, was set on iiat stones to cool it was the only refrigeration we knew. Once a wiek the accumulation i was skimmed the cream that had come to the top lifted off with a ."skimmer" a shallow, circular, rimless vessel of this metal with holes In the bottom, through which the watery part of the cream would, drip back into the pail. . 4The cream -was put into the chturn. The one we nsed was a barrel-shaped ressel, smaller than a .'barrel but larger than a keg. Churning was a plodding chore; the task was frequently mine. After the butter had "come," my mother would take It out and knead it in a mass until the last tr$ee of liquid was squeezed out. Then she would take In her left hand the butter mold, a cir cular wooden disk about three inches in diameter, upon the top of which was a pattern deeply cut in the wood the pattern on ours was a large strawberry. Using this as a base, she would build upon it short, large-hot togmed cones, weighing a pound Cg.ch. These, the following day, my father would, take to market ire the city, together with other farm products. I i Tha residue from the skimming and churning, the skimmed milk and the buttermilk, remained in the spring house. They, with the fresh milk, were incidents of the family diet. After the sElmmed milk had stood in the COol water a few days, it turned Into 'thick gobs ot curds at the top", with watery whey beneath i4-we called It "bonny clabber" another name Is "cottage cheese." A term nsed by the Pennsylvania Dutch was "Schmierkase." Along with the varieties of milk In the spring house where frequently Hce puddings and other forms of cooked food set there to cool A?t any time, except perhaps the day after tbe weekly churning a' troop of hungry men could make an ample meal without leaving the spring house. J i It's Obsolete Now ; r The spring house continued li use, on our farm, until about three years ago. Long after we had ceased to churn our own blitter, after we had begun to snd our milk to the city every day, it was put in the spring house to cool before shipment, But the company that bought the milk kept advancing the Standard of coolness which -the tajik must hare at the moment of delivery at the Kaiiroaa sia tfon. Finally they said the milk must hare a temperature not greater than 60 degrees. That. the ancient spring house could achieve. Thereup there oecurredJ hi times of hottest weather, and considering the trip to the rail road station that was more than under our eyes an abdication of nature to invention, of the old to the new. One of man's old est ways ot life gave way to one of the most modern we set up an ; electric . cooling apparatus in the barn. Holy Land BritiiSi troops patrol Jerusalem SULLIVAN Since then, the old spring house has been out of use. Not once In a week does anyone en ter it, even for a drink of wa tr. In the eaves, the birds have undisturbed nesting places. At nightfall the j chimney swallows circle merrily j about. From the ridge of the roof at night an oc casional owl cries his melancholy "who-oo." Within the pool is se rene and still. From it, a tiny stream trickles out to keep moist a spot where mint growg wild. Below, it flows into a' bit of marshy land, w here, in early March, the cry ot the "knee deeps" -heralds the coming of spring. Masons Are Scarce For the sake ot sentiment and appearance, we keep, the old spring house in order. About a year ago we noticed that one of the walls needed straighten ing and some rebuilding. But during the whole year, we have been' unable to get the work done. The two or three masons uuiu uisisuco vi several miiva are busy and much sought after; jobs that can wait are postponed. It is the same with Jobs of car pentering. . , It occurs to me to wonder whether American youth has not taken too exclusively to white collar Jobs. Masonry and car pentering re agreeable work, and much better paid than any comparable indoor Jobs. And it- is my strong conviction that, over the past generation, too many .youths hare gone to the cities too many for their own good .as individuals, and. too many for the good of the coun try. : Excessive migration to ci ties Is one of the causes of the commotion through which the country Is passing.
