titled sings of the West, of Oregon, of
th e lure of high places, of the m oun

Oregon forests, of the perfum e of the

H ere are a few extracts:
The Skyline Trail.
It's the song of the g re a t outdoors;
Come out.
Where your hand can touch the sky!
Let ambition and hate and doubt
And black despair go by.
And then you’ll know there's a God
below.
As well as above in the blue.
T h e re are sta rs about! Come out!
The wild song calls to you,
Come out,

should not be executed.
While in prison they behaved
most exemplarily, and won many

They would have
been released on parole a good
deal sooner than they were if it
had not been for the strenuous
opposition of the Norrthfield
people, who to the last resisted
any attempt at clemency.
As a sort of an aftermath,
along about 1898, two youths
tried to copy their example and
looted a bank at Sherburn, Min
nesota, shooting a clerk. They
were promptly pursued. One of
them shot himself in the head
when cornered and the other
was arrested and sent to states
prison where he died a few years
later.
President Coolidge has the
courage of his convictions. It
would have been so easy for him
to have signed the bonus bill,
but he did not, knowing that his
veto would cost him a large
number of votes. This shows
that he has a backbone.
