Lewis A. McArthur, long a director and, since the death ot

The reference was to the book published in 1928, now long
out of print and purchasable, if at all, only as a collector's item.
Hereafter, when the book is named here we shall be referring
to the new edition, just out, enlarged ana extensively reviseu.
- Even when the first editipn was published the author had
on hand a great deal of material that he was not able to in
clude in it. in the years since 1928 he has been adding to this,
correcting errors discovered in that first volume, carrying on
a considerable correspondence with persons in all parts ot the
country, seeking more facts and verifying others and con
stantly adding to his collection. The results appear in this
secona eaiuun, a uuua couidming muic niivinmv,,
tnrinnl statistical and otherwise, and with more diverting in
formation about the state than any other ever written dealing
with Oregon. Invaluable for the student and the historian
"Oregon Geographic Names" offers good reading for every
body with the least sparK or. intellectual interest, in it ie
history, Indian lore, geography, humor, romance and pioneer
record from every part or the state.
Statistically let it be recorded that the book is in size
what the publishers call royal octavo. It contains 581 pages,
was printed in Portland and tells the story of the name of
some 5,000 Oregon features post offices, counties, rivers,
cities, buttes, forts and streams. The stories of some of the
names such as "Cascade Range," "Mount Hood" and "Ore
gon" are complete essays by themselves. No one but L. A.
McArthur could compile such a work for he alone possesses
in combination all that went into its writing the background
of Oregon pioneer ancestry, a retentive memory, a passion
for accuracy, an acquaintance with all the histories and other
writings that tell the story of the Oregon country, a storehouse
of the recorded facts of the modern day and, with all these, a
pleasing literary style.
"Oregon Geographic Names" should be in every book col
lection in Oregon public or private. Every high school should
have at least one copy and in every school there should be
studies based on it to the end that our young people become
better acquainted with their state. It is a book to be read and
referred to both for fun and for fact. Oregon is indebted to
the author for the contribution he has made to its literature
and life. ...

KLAMATH COUNTY TIMBER EXCHANGES
An arrangement for the exchange of land for timber pro
posed for execution between The Shevlin-Hixon Company and
the forest service has been, protested by the Klamath county
court. There have kfeen short news stories on the subject in the
Portland papers and we find it more elaborately presented in
the Klamath Herald and News. It is also mentioned in the
Epley column In the Klamath paper. None of the lands are in
this county but the issues involved are of interest here.
Furthermore, we find a good deal of misconception of the ex
change proposal as well as lack of understanding of several
of its phases and so we venture to discuss the business.
: To begin with it is to be noted that Shevlin-Hixon offers
18,593 acres for exchange. Of these there are 8,436 acres in
Klamath- some of which are, and the rest are to be, "light
selectively cut." There are 1,040 acres of cut-over lands in
Klamath and 9,117 of the same type in Lake county. The
timber proposed to be taken in exchange is to bo cut from
the Fremont and the Deschutes national forests in Lake and
Klamath counties.
The Shevlin-Hixon timber in Klamath county offered in
the exchange is intermingled with national forest timber in
an irregular pattern "shotirun." the foresters call it and
when the company went in to cut on its own lands it was the
obviously economic thing to cut the national forest timber.
as well. If this were not done the forest ucrvice would have
scattered patches of timber throughout the area subject in an
increased degree to the hazard of wind-throw and costly to
log. The Shevlin-Hixon logging, if confined to the inter
mingled company lands, would also be more costly. Every con
sideration of economy, efficiency and good forest practice
called for the harvest of the crop on thu two ownerships at
the same time.
Nothing on the subject has been said in the Klamath paper
but we take for granted that there is no objection to this
: cutting of the national forest timber. The protest is against
, the proposed method of payment for it by giving lands in-
stead of cash.
Seven grounds on which the protest is based are stated in
: the Herald and News. We shall discuss these tomorrow.
A Puritan Village In 1680
I
Waitslill Walling had lived In
Sudbury all his life. He claimed,
in his expansive moments, that
he was the first white child born
in that community. Some of the
older people disputed that claim;
they said that patience Harden,
Hlrl oi low degree, who had
run off with a sea captain when
she was only 14, was the first
Sudbury baby. Most of Walling's
feilow-citlzens took no stock in
the Patience Harden story, and
the honor of being the first child
whatever that honor may have
been belonged In their opinion
to Waltstill Walling.
In 1680 Walling, then 43 years
old, was one of Sudbury's leading
citizens, popular with everyone
from the minister down to the
farm hands. ' ;

defense company and, in 1676, had

rooms four on the ground floor,

there was also an attic. For that
period it was considered a very

a loft overhead that could be
reached only by climbing a ladder.
All the rooms of the new Wal

they were tiny as compared to
the rooms in modern dwellings.
There were no bathrooms in
the house, but they were npt

(Salem Statesman)
The recent flnrc-up over qual
ity of milk has resulted in a
check of inspection service over
the state, and the reports made
to dale are not pleasant reading.
Meantime the state director of
agriculture brands the regulatory
laws as archaic and proposes their
complete revision,
It may be that proposals for
reform in the matter of handling
of dairy products will result in a
game ot tag with each interest
trying to put the tag on some one
else.
However, If the survey made

alarm was sounded he sent all the
women and children into the
meetinghouse together with
enough mon to defend It. The rest
of the armed force proceeded,
under his command, to attack the
Indians from the rear. They fled
without taking any prisoners, but
before their flight they burned
several houses. Among them was
the home of the Walling family,
which had been built bv Wait
still's fath back in the 10-10's. It
was a ramshackle dwelling that
had begun Its existence as a one
room cabin. As the family In
creased in size the house had
grown, rooms being added here
and there without any definite
plan. It had one crude, clav-and-
stick chimney, a thatched roof
which leaked, and a dim interior,
as the sunlight came through
windows of oiled paper.
When Captain Walling looked
over the smoldering ruins he felt
an Inward and unexpressed pleas
ure. "The old wigwam has gone
up in smoke," he reflected, "and
I'm glad to see the last of It." To
his wife, Rebecca, who stood at
his side with tears running down
her cheeks, he offored consola
tion. "Aye, Rebecca," he said
gloomily, " 'tis a sad loss. But
God willing, we shall have an
other house, and It may be, a bet
ter one."

The new dwelling was of the
salt-box type, and all the Wai
tings, including the tearful Re
becca, were very proud of it. The
visitor was usually James Law-
son, the village constable, who
was a walking newspaper of local
happenings.

dining room. The Wallings, who
were neither poor nor rich, but
well-to-do accordings to the stand
ards of the time, might have had
a dining room apart from the
Kitcnen, dui tney and their friends
looked upon such devices as
marks of vanity and hateful
pride.
The doors of the early colonial
houses were usually fastened by
a latch. Just above the latch a
hole was" made in the door Danel
and the latchstring was passed
through it, so the string dangled
outside. To enter the house a
visitor had only to pull the string
and give the door a slight push.

the latchstring was pulled inside.
"For you the latchstring is al

tion extended to intimate friends.

On a bright, sunny morning in
April of the year 1680 a young
man waited patiently on a benctt
In the Walling garden for the
constable to come out of the house
and depart. The young man,
whose name was Oliver Hillman,
wanted to see Captain Walling
on a very personal matter, and
he much preferred to have no
listeners to his conversation.
Young Mr. Hillman was plainly,
nervous; he kept twisting about
on the bench, and now and then
he would rise and take a- short
walk around the garden.

Bv Peter Ed son
' (NEA SUfl Correspondent)
U. S. department of state and
other executive agency technical
experts and delegates to(the Chi
cago civil aviation conference
have returned to Washington pre
pared to defend their work to the
limit, regardless of whether criti
cism comes from congressional or
private commercial aviation inter
ests. In direct contradiction to the
idea that the U. S. lost its flying
shirt at Chicago, they claim that
Adolf Berle did a great job for
his country, that the United
States gave up little of value and
gained a lot of rights it did not
have before.
Chief of the victories claimed
for U. S. aviation are the rights
to fly across any country and to
land in any country for refueling
and repair. These are the so-called
first and second freedoms of the
air.
Where the United States kept
its shirt, it is claimed, was in re
fusing to give in to British and'
Canadian demands that post-war
commercial aviation be controlled
by an international civil aeronau
tics board which would have the
absolute regulatory power to as
sign roiites and determine fre
quencies of flight. The U. S. dele
gation view on this point was that
international flying should be on
an unlimited frequency basis.
On this issue there arose the
controversy over a so-called "esca
lator clause," which would permit
international airlines to Increase
their capacity to carry traffic as
it was offered. The British were
willing to permit this to apply to
traffic developing at the ends of
a line, but not to traffic develop
ing along the route. The U. S.
delegation, keeping its shirt, re
fused to budge from its position
that there should be escalation of
frequencies as traffic developed
at intermediate as well as at ter
minal points. This became known
as the fifth freedom.
The conference was deadlocked
on this point for two weeks and
compromised by the decision to
let those countries which wished
to do so withhold their accept
ances of the fifth freedom while
accepting the first two. Third and
fourth freedoms, tying In with
the fifth, would permit unload
ing or loading of passengers and
freight from or in the plane's
home nation.
What the United States did give
up was the right for other nations
to fly over Alaska and Hawaii.
These rights were given up In ex
change for the rights to fly over
Canada and the United Kingdom
en route to other countries, which
rights the United States Sid not
have. The United States therefore
gives up its rights in the Pacific
in exchange for rights in the At
lantic. In justification of this
swap it is held that the bulk of
the business will be over the At
lantic, so the United States stands
to gain more than it loses.
