FOR A FENCE IX THE PARK
Early this month Mrs. Ruth Repnock. contributing to the
discussion regarding dogs and gardens, raised the worth
while point that filth from the river water fowl made the
grassy areas in Drake park virtually unusable for picnic and
other parties in the summer season. Our request in this
column for further contributions on this subject has brought
the valuable suggestion from II. II. Sheldon presented in his
letter on this page today.
Mr. Sheldon's proposal for a low fence along the river and
slightly back from the water's edge seems to us exactly the
right answer to the problem posed by Mrs. Repnock. More
over, as Mr. Sheldon points out, the fence would meet other
important needs. A fence, such as that proKsed, need not be
an expensive undertaking. As a beginning 300 yards could
meet most of the need.
We hope the project may go forward.
"KLAMATH HIGHWAY PLANS
Continuing its discussion of post-war highway develop
ment as such activity will affect Klamath Falls the Herald
and News suggests a program outlined in part in this para
graph: Improvement should certainly be continued on The Dalles
California highway from Algoma point north. The Wil
lamette highway needs a lot ot work on the surface of the
already completed highway, and an early project should be
the relocation of the Willamette at the western end, where
an unfortunate junction situation exists. The Santiam and
Warm Springs highways still farther north have a place in
our travel picture that should not be overlooked.
Communities on this northern section of The Dalles-California
will be glad to have the Santiam and the Warm Springs
routes remembered when the time comes. They will hope, too,
that improvement on The Dalles-California will not be
limited to the southern portion of the highway. For some !
years the larger volume of expenditure on that route has been !
down there. The Herald and Jsews speaks of continuing the
improvement from Algoma point north. We speak for im
provement this side of the Willamette junction. Much is
needed, for instance between, say. Crescent and Lapine.
Senator Van Nuys says that people are getting sick and
tired of reading government publicity. We think the senator
is wrong. The people never get a chance to read it. It all
goes into the waste basket It's the newspaper editorial de
partments that are sick of the stuff.
Down in South America, we read, they are calling Vice
president Wallace "hombrazo" and not smiling when they
do so.

The allies in the Pacific are
waging a defensive, not an of

the allies to do otherwise, con
sidering that the highest strate

they have, save a small percent

many and Italy which absorbs
their principal attention. The im
pression exists in the Pacific that
the administration does not rea
lize the seriousness of the war in
that quarter, inasmuch as re

been complied with. If the thou

Chiang Kai-Shek, despite the
I popularity with which she has
I been received by the American
people. The military mission dis-!
patched by General MacArthur i
accomplished little, according to
report.
Dr. Herbert V. Evalt, minister
of external affairs for Australia,
came to the national capital to
make his plea and. so far as
known (and judging from the
talks) is returning empty handed.
Promises, yes; but promises have
been given for more than a year.
Gen. Sir Thomas A. Blarney, like
Joe Stalin, says that Australia is
almost fighting alone against the
Japanese. Stalin said the red
army was fighting alone against
the Germans, not mentioning the
5,000 planes that were given him
by the United States. General
Blarney gives some small credit
to the American troops, but in
sists the Australians are carrying
the load; the bombers and soldiers
and supplies promised by "the
arsenal of democracy" have not
been forthcoming in the quanti
ties needed or expected.
a a a
All major engagements of
United States forces (sailors, sol
diers, marines and fliers) have
been confined to the Pacific and
the casualties outnumber by
many thousands the list of cas
ualties accumulating in the North
i African adventure. The number
of Japanese is also far greater
than the number of Germans or
Italians in the African campaign.
It is difficult, if not Impossible,
to find a resident of Oregon or
Washington who believes that
Germany is as much a threat to
this country as are the Japanese.
It is known, of course, that the
United States has planned an all
out offensive against the Japa
nese and is now making prepara
tions, but the Immediate task is
centered on Europe. On the other
hand, Chiang Kai-Shek, General
Blarney and General MacArthur
are petitioning for help now and
' not in 1944. The box score for the
' Pacific discloses that the Ameri
cans are sending warships, trans
ports, supply ships and planes to
. the bottom, hut notwithstanding
these victories the Japanese are
: still holding practically every is
: land that they invaded and held
i more than one year ago; and they
have not been driven out of the
' Aleutians.
I
I Washington's Senator Bone has
invited government agencies to
give serious consideration to the
; heavily mineralized belts In that
state with the object of establish
ing a steel industry. The Wash
; Ington state senate adopted a
1 similar resolution which has been
referred to the senate special com
' mittce to investigate the national
' defense program. The legislative
resolution says that whenever
such development has been pro
posed it has been blocked by in
dustries already existing in other
! sections of the country. '

SERIAL STORY
DARK JUNGLES
BY JOHN C. FLEMING & LOIS EBY aSS'S
The Story: Barry Fielding was
stricken with malaria after his
escape from the Quiche Indians,
and his faithful Mexican guide,
Jose, tends him until he is strong
enough to make the trip back to
Allison loppings plantation. He
falls unconscious when they fin-
rally arrive. A week later Allison I
tells him that a letter arrived
from his fiancee while he was
sick, and that she has answered
it for him. Knowing Lola's nature,
Barry is worried.
a a a
TRIBAL SACRIFICE
CHAPTER XV
As the days passed and the
fever hung on. Barry was half
wild with impatience. For hours
days sometimes he would
think it had run its course, only
to be shaken with the cold chill
that preceded another attack.
Renaldo had warned him of this
that same afternoon Allison had
read him Lila's letter. The Span
iard had knocked and come in,
looking taller and handsomer in
fresh whites than Barry remem
bered him. He had towered over
the bed, with his swift engaging
smile.
"You really picked yourself a
stalwart mosquito, my friend."
"I'll throw it off," Barry said
irritably.
"You will, but it will be slow
going."
Allison brought his medicine,
holding up his head and tossing
the tablets onto his tongue with
deft motions. Barry gulped the
water she held to his hps, and
smiled his thanks.
"You were right about Allison,"
he said to Renaldo with amused
camaraderie.
"Right about what?" Allison
was gathering up tray and
glasses for the servants to take
out.
"We bet, Renaldo and I," Barry
told her lazily, feeling all at once
easy and comfortable, "on wheth
er you'd make the trip."
"And how did you bet?" She
paused beside him, her lashes al
most touching her cheeks as she
looked down Into his face.
"I bet you wouldn't," Barry told
her.
"Which proves," she laughed,
"that Renaldo understands me
better than you do."
"Oh, but it wasn't quite fair,"
Renaldo protested gallantly. "Be
cause I knew your father. Mr.
Fielding didn't. I gambled you
had the jungle in your blood like
he did. And I'm afraid you have."
He turned to follow her with
his eyes as she walked to the hall
and handed over the tray to the
Indian woman. Barry watched
him in deepening surprise. He re
alized abruptly that Allison was
not the only one who had changed
during his absence. Renaldo, too,
was different. Gone was the
stern, quiet almost condescend
ingcommand In the Spaniard's
manner. A subtle warmth had
crept in, a tentative friendliness.
He had used the same phrase that
night on the trek he feared the
girl had the jungle In her blood
but where there had been appre
hension, antagonism in his voice
that night, now there was some
thing almost like pride. And in
his dark eyes . . .
a a a
Barry controlled a sharp rising
irritation. Why shouldn't the
handsome Renaldo fall for a girl
like Allison Topping? She was
warm and vivid and delicate. Her
blondenoss was a perlect foil for
the Spaniard's dark good looks.
And If she really wanted to stay
here . . . He roused at Renaldo's
laugh.
"You are looking very un
happy, my friend. I am sorry
about your trip."
, Barry's anger swept into an
other current.
"Sorry is no name for It!" he
exploded. "I want to talk to you
about It. Of all the dirty, double
crossing deals I ever ran into!"
Allison wai standing beside Re-
and fhe Grapes of
naldo again. '
she asked.
May I hear it, too?"
Barry hesitated. Then he said
bluntly, "Sure. It's no worse than
a Gossip Column."
Allison and Keiuldo pulled
chairs close to the bed while
Barry talked. He told them in
painstaking detail every step of
the trip. The meeting with the
chief, his cordial hospitality, his
apparently sympathetic hearing
of all Barry had to say, his honest
indecision in the matter of reveal
ing the mines. Turning to Ren
aldo, he added:
"Your letter to him seemed to
make him our friend. He said a
lot of complimentary thingsabout
you."
"He's a great old fellow."
Renaldo nodded thoughtfully.
Barry grimaced with rueful hu
mor. "But you should have seen
him that night at the trial. He
couldn't have been any colder if
he'd been molded out of liquid
air." He told (hem then of his
rude awakening by the angry na
tives, of the weird, frightful
judgment scene In the chief's tent
and of the death sentence of the
girl. Finally of their imprison
ment and escape.
Allison shuddered. "How per
fectly ghastly! But the girl won't
die, will she?"
a a a
Renaldo looked serious. "I
wouldn't be surprised."
"But why," Allison cried,
"would anyone want to frame
Barry? Some Quiche, perhaps,
with something against the girl
or her family?"
"Perhaps," Renaldo said slow
ly, "but I don't think so. The
Quiches are a united and peace
ful tribe within themselves. I'm
afraid it is even more serious
than that."
Barry and Allison watched the
young Spaniard as ho paced the
floor nervously. At length, unable
to endure her curiosity, Allison
burst out:
"What is it, Renaldo? For heav
en's sake, tell us!"
Renaldo paused at the foot of
the bed, flashing Allison a sym
pathetic half smile. His dark eyes
were brooding and sorrowful.
"For a number of years now," he
began slowly, "the chief and I
have been as close friends as a
Quiche ever is with an outsider. I
admire him. I am fond of him.
That is why I know he is filled
with a great anxiety"
Barry watched the Spaniard,
fascinated.' There was power in
those black eyes. Small wonder
he had gained the fear and re
spect of the Quiches as well as
the Indians on the Topping plan
tation, he thought. '
"Each month or so," Renaldo
went on, "when the Quiches bring
their clay jugs of auicksilver
down to the coast to trade for
bananas and salt,
they have been i
buying more and more other
tnings bright ornaments, some
times dresses or suits from the
trading post, mingling more with
other tribes, carrying back their
stories. The chief has been strug-
gling against this tendency. It i

his duty to see this slow Infiltra
tion of foreign Ideas does not be
tray their precious isolation. I
have felt, during our last meet
ings, he was growing desperate
over the situation, unable to stem
the tide of his people's interests
in the oulside world."
Renaldo's eyes were fixed on
him, com'tnssion in their black
depths. "The chief is a smart
man," he said simply. "Can you
think of a better way to impress
his people with the danger of out
siders? The sacrifice of one of the
tribe's most beautiful maidens
has often been the shock which
taught them the error of ther
ways." .
The logic of 'Renaldo's reason
ing appalled Barry. "In that
case," he said hopelessly, "is there
nothing I can do?"
Renaldo released a long breath.
"The first thing for you to do is
to get well, my friend. After that
we will see."

UNFAIR TO LOYAL
AMERICANS
(Orecon Journal)
Senator Chandler of Kentucky
has revived the Idea of lightening 1
the restrictions against the Japa-!
nese nationals In relocation cen-;
ters. He wants the good ones seg-1
regated from the bad and put '
either Into military service orj
essential war industry. The bad
ones, he believes, should be kept :
whore they are in either case to
separate the disloyal ones from
those whose sympathies are dem
onstrably favorable to America.
Definitely, something should be
done about these two classes of
Japanese who are now kept under
identical conditions in all the relo
cation centers, where friction is
rampant, especially in the one at
Manzanar, Cat, where petty riots
are frequent. Feeling appears to
be high between the loyal Ameri
cans and the disloyal aliens and
it is obviously unfair to keep all
of them under the blanket head
ing of undesirables. No other way
was possible at first, but ten
months have now elapsed since
the concentration began and it
should be possible to determine
which are the sheep and which
the goats.

To the Editor:
Bend. April 1H, 1W3.
Recently. The Bulletin puhllrih
ed a letter deploring the fact that
the ducks' use uf Drake park
limits human use of the park.
I agree with the wilier. Our
water fowl on Mirror pond add
greatly to the natural beauty of
(he park. But a duck out of witter :
loses its charm. Keeping the '
ducks off the grass Is not so
much of a problem as It might
seem. To that end. may I offer a 1
suggestion which would benefit
(he public as well as the ducks.
It Is not the hahlt of ducks to
fly in and light on land. 'Hiey '
light on the water; and when
waddling on land are discouraged
by (he slightest barrier. A low i
fence, say thirty inches high, set
six feet in from the river, would
keep the ducks and geese from
wandering through the park soli-'
Ing the grass; while at the same
time providing a runway whore ,
the public might feed them. This '
six-root strip, If beautlUed with ;
shrubs and other plant life, would
also provide a cover for nusling.
In addition to keeping the park
clean, this fence would prevent i
the chasing and killing of young
ducks hatched lale in the summer.
by dogs which, nt that time, lire
released from tie-up.
Most Important of all, such a
fence would prevent small chit '
dren from falling Into the river.'
Mothers who bring their children
to the park would have a chancel
to sit down and rest without Ihe
constant necessity of running
after Infants lured by the shine
of the river.
A fence of this sort surrounds
the lake in Gulden Gate park,
San Francisco. In that wik.
where they have many more wild
fowl than we have here, this
fence has proved itself invaluable
both in the protection of the
grounds, and in the prevention of
accidents to children playing in
the park.
