A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OF IT8 COMMUNITY
WORTH WHILE!
A FTER a trsmoBduus undertaking such aa the Bunsat Trail
celebration, then are usually a few who wonder if It vu
worth all tha effort. It'i not a bad Idea to take stock of what
the pageant has meant to us while moat of the detalle are
itiU fresh.
It might be safe to sajr that more than 60,000 people from
other parts of Oregon and from other states bare visited us
during tha pageant. That unquestionably has meant something
In the way of montiy spent. But we do not believe the true
Talus of the pageant Is to be reckoned in dollars and cents.
We might talk of advertising value. High officials of two
great railroad systems were among the visitors to the pageant,
They traveled thousands of miles to see this affair because
they believe It Is coming to ba one of the great attractions of
the west about which thoy can talk just as they have sold the
West for years by talking of Pendleton's Roundup. Late Sat
urday afternoon, Mr. Gnorge Matthew Adams, of New York,
walked into The Ouard office. Mr. Adams Is the head of a big
newspaper feature syndicate and writes for ""vera! hundred
' papers a dally column of comment. Traveling In British Col
umbia, he had heard of the HSugene pageant and determined
to see it Through his column in the noxt few weeks, people
. In all parts of the United States will be told about this
Oregon event.
We might attempt to mmure the value of the affair In
many ways, but we bellore the biggest value is in the sense of
achievement Cal Young sounded .the keynote at the opening
meeting when he sftld: "Of coura It can be done!" Of course,
most anything can be done In a community which has the
leadership of Cal Young, but occasionally we need a Cal Young
lo prove It to us. The pageant lias given us a new sense of
community unity. It has won for us a closer friendship with
all parts of Oregon. It haa sustained the traditions of Oregon.
It haa bean worth while! It will be worth while repeating!
STE1WER WILL HELP.
rpHOUOH there have been discouragements at the outset,
A Eugene should not cease Its efforts to get thrs town made
a regular port of call for the through air mall planes In the
Paclflo Coast service. The transport officials are willing, If we
can guarantee enough business. The postal officials st Wash
ington say they do not want to risk delaying deliveries to the
bigger terminals.
We think the real trouble Is that the postal officials have
not yet had presented to them forcibly the possibilities of the
territory that would bo served by a station here. The transport
officials do not mention delays of service an their reason tor
not stopping Ijere and they are the people who are best posted
on operating conditions. As a matter of fact, a ten mlnute stop
at Eugene should not Interfere with service to any great degree.
And there Is an area of more than 100.000 population In
Ine, Linn, Benton and Douglas counties that would benefit In
dustrially and coiumerclaily by having direct air mall service
through Eugene. Already Corvallla and Albany have signified
their intention to cooperate in the use of airmail through Eugene.
It Is encouraging to hear Senator Frederick fltelwer say he will
do everything he can to put the situation forcibly before the
authorities In Washington. We're going to need that kind of rep
resentation. Officials SOO0 miles away can't be expected to
visualise th development here until those who know every
foot of ground make it plain to them.
Bernard Bhaw at 71 haa ordered reporters to suppress the
news that he has had another birthday. Which Is a sure sign
he Is beginning to feel his age.
AJax McOurk says that Isn't the question. What he wants
to know la when Bernard Bhaw Is going to be his aga.
New England farmers are trying to grow a milder onion.
Here Is a case where one-half of one per cent might be ac
cepted universally as sufficient. But McOurk says: "No steak
and near-onlona for me."
The Oregonlan has a special article claiming a special police,
man should earn at lsaat NOD a month to keep him honest
Hack! It would take at least that mm h to keep him alive!
Then besides, when you consider all the millionaires that
have gone wrong, It's rather futile to argue how much will keep
a policeman honest It's how much It takes to keep him awake
that really mature.
Down In Portland they are all steamed up over whethor
there shall be betting at the American legion's horse races
Don't suppose people go to the race track Just to see the
ponies run these days?
.
k young lady from Klamath rails Is going to attempt to
rwlm the eight miles across icy Crater Lake. After that, some
other endurance nut will probably try to swim around it When
tome of these birds get to heaven they won t be content till
they pole vault over the pearly gates.
..
Now that the pageant's over we wonder If the fish will
still blta!

Ir. Humphreys la the author of
several interesting volumes on
meteorology, including "Rain Sink
ing and other Weather Vaparies.
"Fogs and t'loudn" and "Weather
rroverha and Paradoxes."
In uncivilised countries all Mrt
of strange religious ceremonies and
devices are used to bring rain.
Among civiiized nations the pre
tene of scientific methods is set
up. And all over the world people
pray for rain whenever It is badly
needed. Hiere la no evidence that
any of these devices ever worked.
Lr. Humphrey says there's noth
ing to the idea that battles cause
rain. He admits that a. big battle is
generally followed by rain, but
"Moat lars littles have occurred
In regions of moderate to abondant
precipitation," he says, "whore
generally, there are onfy a few fair
days between rains. Preparations
for battle are commonly made dur
ing fair weather. Hcuce, by the
time the preparatory maneuvers
have been completed and the battle
fought the next rain, if it has not
already occurred Is, at a rule, about
due."
Government Hat Tried It
Scientists. Including many gov
ernment scientist, have tried to
make rain in times pant. They
never had any luck. 'though Hum

based on correct science and don t
