Klamath Falls Pageant
On Thursday Klamath Falls will move
Into the spotlight on the Oregon stage with
its three-day centennial pageant, "Wagon
Road to Sky Road." The dramatic event of
five episodes will have a cast of 2000 and will
commemorate the blazing of an easier pio
neer trail from Fort Hall, Idaho to western
Oregon. The party of 15 was led by Levi
Scott, who had come to Oregon in 1844 from
Iowa, and by two Applegate brothers, Lind
say and Jesse, of the family famous in Ore
gon history. It was on July 4, 1846, that these
hardy frontiersmen gazed on what is now
known as Klamath Basin.
Eugene will feel a personal interest in her
sister city's venture into pageant production
for the event will be directed by Prof. Hor
ace Robinson of the drama department at
the University of Oregon. And many of those
who have been connected with Eugene's
long career in presenting historic pageants
may feel a touch of nostalgia in connection
with Klamath's forthcoming days of excite
ment and festivity. Memories will leap back
to Eugene's great annual pageants, whose
march was interrupted by the war.
It is not difficult to find other links to
provide a true feeling of kinship between our
two pageants, for next year Eugene will have
a centennial to celebrate, too. It was in the
summer of 1847 that Eugene Skinner,
founder of this city, built a cabin on his
claim at the west edge of Skinner Butte. His
grandson, Eugene F. Skinner, lives in Eu
gene. And it was only the year before that
Elijah Bristow staked a claim at what is now
Pleasant Hill and built Lane County's first
log cabin. His grandson, Darwin Bristow,
also lives in Eugene. Certainly, history is
ours to commemorate!
Klamath's pageant will mark another
event, too, for this month that city will wel
come United Air Lines service. Even this will
send local memories rushing back, for Eu
gene's first pageant, in 1926, was known as
the Trail to Rail celebration and marked an
other transportation event the joining of
the eastern and western parts of the state
by the Natron cutoff on the Southern Paci
fic Railroad.
Year by year the local pageants grew un
til just before the war in the summer of 1941
came the Oregon Trail Pageant celebrating
the 100th anniversary of arrival of the first
pioneer families in Oregon. Klamath's pro
duction will be watched with real interest,
but inevitably we will be 'asking ourselves,
"Does Klamath have the sweep of dramatic
action, the color, the musical power, the
smoothness of Eugene's best?" We will be
wondering, too, If the folks to the south have
discovered some new tricks of stagecraft, if
they will inject a freshness of appeal into
their show if we can learn anything from
their adventure. This didn't seem to be Eu
gene's year to revive her pageant, but after
Klamath's performance, we will be wonder
ing, "Can we outshine her in our next show?"
Only time will tell, but meanwhile Eu
gene will give Klamath Falls her hearty
best wishes for a smashing success. May she
set a mark in pageantry that will be hard to
beat!

OUT OF THE WOODS
By JIM STEVENS
Literary Snipe Hunt . . .
The professors have been arguing about Paul
Bunyan ever since my book came out in April,
1825. One of them had a piece on him in a national
magazine over a year ago that took Paul and Babe
entirely out of character as a legend of the forests.
I wrote a protest which carried a deadpan reference
to a "newly discovered Henry James letter on the
lore of Paul and Babe." It was of course a sell.
The magazine was literary, and I assumed that any
reader of It would perceive the hoax at first glance.
Henry James was an aesthete of aesthetes. He lived
n England because of the "coarsness ' and "crudity
of America. The idea of his ever having been in
terested in Paul and Babe is as fantastic as any
Bunyan tale.
But I was solemn in my missive and parodied
the Henry James phrasing a trick which any
practising writer can easily do. And I used such
famous James phrases as "emotion of recognition",
golden measure, "American scene.
I didn't dream the letter would fetch me a ten
derfoot New York professor to hold the bag and the
antern in the cold night, waiting for the snipe. But
dahgunned if that warn't what happened!
Where Is Nathan Bronsteln? ...
The letter was from a New Yorker who has
made up what is called an anthology of Paul Bun
yan stories. A couple of mine will be in it.As usual,
the anthology contributors get little or no money
for their work. The publishers and the compiler-
editors take the profits from such books.
So, when I read this in the editor s letter, . . .
you make reference to (the newly discovered Henry
James letter on the lore of Paul and Babe). I won
der if you will be good enough to Inform me where
the letter appears, if it has been published, or if it
has not been published, who has it?" I had only a
utle trouble with my conscience Before going on
with the snipe hunt.
My reply was pretty complicated. It said that
away back yonder the pioneer Seattle lumberman,
Henry Yesler, had a no-good step-brother, Ralph
Yesler, who was an arty fellow, Ralph -wrote Henry
James about how crude his life was, for his lumber
man brother was making him toil as a bullcook.
So Henry James wrote in return, (said I), that art
was everywhere, even in the wilderness, as witness
Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. James was liv
ing in England but had heard of Paul from English
lords who traveled to Michigan to fish for grayling
in the Au Sable. Of such was my tall tale. 1 con
cluded:
Mr. Nathan Bronstein, grand-nephew of RalDh
Yesler, member of a logging machinery firm, and
patron of the arts in Seattle, has the letter of Henry
James to Ralph Yesler. He is in Hollywood. . . I
hope I can get what you want from him at an
early date."
The New Yorker stuck to his bag and lantern. He
kept writing on his engraved letterhead, enclosing
air-mail stamped envelopes, and asking, "Where is
Nathan Bronstein now?"
Murder Yet! . . .
Today I wrote the poor cuss again, saying, "I
have not yet heard from Nathan Bronstein in Holly
wood. . . It was Farrar Burn, husband of June
Burn, author and assistant professor in the Depart
ment of English, University of Washington, who
copied the Paul Bunyan reference from the original
James letter. He and his wife are now on a cruise
among the San Juan' Islands. Farrar is a brother of
Bob Burns, of Hollywood and radio fame, and so
won the confidence of Mr. Bronstein, who is "hard
to come by", as the loggers say, even when he is
here at home. Meanwhile, I've asked my old friend,
Jim Marshall, who resides in Los Angeles as West
ern editor of Collier's, to see if he can get wind of
Bronstein around the movie studios. He might be
able to help us." And so on, with more and more
fanciful complications.
If the New Yorker comes back for still more,
I'll just about be up a' stump. I may have to murder
Nathan Bronstein yet If Farrar Burn and Jim
Marshall don't kill me first!
Psychologist Tells
Of Campus Tests
At Quota Dinner
To a psychologist who studies
long and carefully the character
istics and aptitudes of a person be
fore offering counsel, it is shock
ins and amazing how other per
sons will unhesitatingly offer ad
vice and suggestions to persons
unknown to them, said Dr. Leona
Tyler, talking before Eugene
Quota Club at a dinner meeting
Monday evening at the Osbum
Hotel.
Dr. Tyler, who Is a part of the
personnel department of the Uni
versity of Oregon, told of the tests
for aptitudes which are given on
the campus, in order to assist ex-
servicemen in choosing their ca
reer and studies. Many interest
ing cases, in anonymity, were cit
ed. She also described some of the
work of psychologists in hospitals,
where personalities must be rehabilitated.
It is depressing to realize, she
said, "that in a war men can be
shot to pieces wholesale; that the
destruction done in five minutes
often takes years and years to rec
tify, if ever."
Chairman of the program was
Mrs. J. W. Brown,, heading the
achievements of women commit
tee. She also will be chairman of
a picnic dinner to be held August
6 at the home of Dr. Marian Mil
ler. For transportation, members
are to contact Mrs, Ray C. Smith
or Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Smith presided at the
meeting. Mrs. Mary Sands and
Mrs. A. E. Wall conducted com
munity singing.

How to Pack Suitcase
Is Vacation Query
How to pack t suitcase is a
question often asked In summer.
The first question that comos
up is "what should I pack first?"
Obviously this is a personal mat
ter. The only set rules for pack
ing a suitcase are first to check
available space in luggage, then
cull out clothing until you hove
only those clothes that "you will
need.
By the way, this might be a
lesson in clothing selection, for
ofl?n there Is a temptation to buy
an outfit because it is on sale
and then we find that It does not
fit into the general plan of aeces
sones. Never crowd clothing Into
bag. Or if you do, don't expect
that the clothing will arrive at
the destination in any but a
crumpled mass. ,
Heavy Farklnr
Place heavy objects such as
shoes, traveling iron and the cos-
meuc Dag toward the back or
bottom of the bag. And If you're
going to carry bottled cosmetics
in with your general luggage, be
sure that It is as nearly leak-proof
as possible. Many a vacationist
has been sorry about the
or perfume spilled all over
orite dress or the liquid hand lo
tion or make-up base on the skirt
of the best suit.
Best idea, of course, Is to have
a small make-up bag in which
you can also put the brush and
comb and the nlghtclothes and
fold-up slippers. This is especial
ly true when traveling by air. In
fact, many airlines ask if there is
anything very spillable in a bag
before it Is packed into the nose
of a plane.
What to put where In a bag
obviously if you are to arrive at
the beach in the morning, you'll
probably put the play suit on top.
If you're going to arrive late in
the evening, you'll nut vour nipht
clothes nearest the top. If you're.!
arriving at antl destination to
spend your' whole vacation, it
wouldn't make much difference
for you'll unpack the bags im
mediately anyway.
