THE BIG WOODS
Where tho hills are high,
And the great firs sigh,
The night comes down with s
rush;
And silence falls
On the forest halls,
In the grip of a breathless hush.
When the dusk comes down
To valley and town,
Like a loitering child It comes;
But It come at a stride
To tho mountain side.
Like a sudden beating of drums.
And terror clings
Where the little wings
Of hto forest birds are furled.
Alas, alack,
Tho inky black
Has hidden and whelmed the
world!
How the moments creep
Where the big trees sleep!
Ah, the night is over-long!
Tis a weary while
Till tho firs will smile
In the sun-dawn, swift and
strong.
But the silence vast "'
Is broken at last;
There are faint low, symphonies.
There is hope, at last,
That the night is past,
In the lisp of the dawn-time
breeze.
There are chirps and thrills
From the birds. The hills
Start up from their slumber
drear;
And tho big trees shout:
"Turn out, turn out!
It is Day and the Sun Is here!"
Historic Adventures
Douglas and the savages: The
first white men who came into
the Willamette valley were not
molested by native In dans, but
when explorations were directed
farther south, the case was differ
ent The natives of Southern Ore
gon, on the coast, between the
Coast Range and the Cascades, and
east of the Cascades were war
like, and they invariably rcscntod
the coming of the white men. Long
before the country was occupied
by the ox-team emigrants, explor
ers passed through It, among them,
David Douglas, Jedediah Smith
nd John C. Fremont.
Roughing It.
Douglas was sent to the North
west coast by a British horticultur
al society in 1825, and from the
moment he set foot on land he was
called upon to endure extra-ordinary
hardships. As yet, Dr. John
McLoughlln, factor of the Hud
son's Bay company In the Colum
bia river district, had not complet
ed, his house, or fort, and the
plucky botanist lived first in a tent,
and later In a hut made of bark
and skins. Wilderness was Bttll
king at this early period, and this
goes far toward accounting for the
fact that wherever Douglas went
en his botanizing expeditions, he
met with thrilling aventures.
Trapped By Indians
In 1825, Douglas penetrated the
Willamette valley, and somwhere

forest tree, now -known as the
sugar pine. The following year,
with a company of trappers and
hunters, he journeyed through the
valley again and far down Into
southern Oregon. The sought-for
trees were located by the courag

into one of the pines. to dlloge some
cones, hostile Indians appeared and
seemed bent upon murdering him.
Douglas, cocking his gun and draw

and the natives, after about ten
minutes spent In regarding the
botanist, concluded not . to preci

asked for tobacco, Douglas prom

specimens that had almost cost
him his life, retrepted in hot haste,
and just about dark came to camp
and was safe, tl is believed that
this adventure took place in what
