Ex-Senator Chamberlain Is Suddenly Stricken Attack Causes Friends of Oregon Man Concern; Some Improvement Noted; Doctors Forbid His Leaving Bed. Washington, Feb. 8.— (W A SH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) Former Senator George E. Chamberlain is ill at his apartment here. Friday he was not feeling well and on Saturday was ordered to bed, suffering an attack which caused some concern among his friends. Today his physician reports im provement. Mr. Chamberlain is cheerful and is permitted to attend to some matters o f business, but is forbidden to leave his bed. The seriousness o f his condition has not been disclosed, Senator Chamberlain had planned to leave Washington on Wednesday next for a visit with his son, Dr. Charles T. Chamberlain and other members of the family here, so Dr, Chamberlain relates, but postponed the visit for a short time several days ago. Telegraphic assurances from his physician at Washington, received by Dr. Chamberlain this morning, states that the attack suffered by the senator was slight and that, bar- would be able to make the journey to Oregon within a month. No man, it is safe to say, who occupied public office in Oregon, took with him upon his retirement to private life the universal sym pathy and regret accorded Senator Chamberlain upon the occasion of his defeat in the election o f 1920. Nor is it unsafe to say that had a general expectation o f his defeat existed at the day o f that election, many o f those who voted against him under the stress and drive for party regularity would have contin ued the support they had given him during many proceeding years.— Oregon Journal. LECTURE IS W ELL ATTENDED That the prevention o f forest fire in young timber is o f the utmost importance to the future prosperity o f the state o f Oregon, was the cen tral thought of the co-operative lec ture given at the Estacada hotel last Friday night. W. V. Fuller, direc tor o f publicity fo r the state forestry department and George E. Griffith, public relations specialist o f the U. S. Forest Service, gave the lecture, which was beautifully illustrated by a set o f interesting lantern slides. ‘‘The forests are a big help in pay ing taxes,” declared Mr. Fuller. “ They also contribute 65 per cent of the industrial payroll o f the state. Every loafing acre that will grow trees should be at work grow ing tree crops, so that Oregon will continue to have payrolls as well as taxable wealth.” Mr. Griffith discussed the impor tance o f the forests from a state wide as well a$ a national stand point. He showed their contribu tions o f wood, water, grazing and recreation. He closed with an earnest plea for fire prevention. “ I f we didn’t have to fight fires,” said Mr. Griffith, ‘ we would have more time and money to bu.ld roads and trails and do other use ful things. Most forest fires are caused by human thoughtiessneiss. We must have an arroused and ag gressive public which will not tol erate the hand o f a man who starts a forest fire.” He then ex plained how fires are started, and how the public can co-operate in preventing them. J. W. Ferguson, supervising war den fo r Clackamas and Marion counties, asked for better law com pliance, particularly in slash burn ing. The lecture tour is being put on co-operatively by the state forestry department, the U. S. Forest Ser vice and the Oregon Forest Fire Association, H. B. Schwartz, Jno. Ray, C. B. Rose. Ben Olson and E. L. Sadler, professional electricians in the em ploy o f the P. E. P.

Henderson who was regis tered at the Estacada hotel last week, was an old-time employer back in Minnesota, when Mr. Moore was in the lumber business for a number o f years. Mr. Henderson is now living at Hoquiam, Wash., on the sunny side o f Easy street. Mr. Moore states that he and Geo. had a great visit talking over old-time recollections o f Paul Bunion.

Stewart of this city, Department Commander o f the American Legion, received this re tort this week, from an ex-service man to whom he had spoken in re gard to the membersiiip campa gn being waged by the veteran s organ ization throughout the state, he fiared up. “ The war may be over for you, but it is not over for hundreds of thous ands o f disabled men in government hospitals throughout the country,” he replied. “ You may say that is government’s business but govern ments are sometimes forgetful and it is only by the constant watchful ness of the American Legion that the interests of our disabled buddies are taken care of. Congress relies on the American Legion to keep it informed o f hospitalization matters requiring legislation and the Legion has not failed in this duty. “ If you think that the care o f your comrades in service who gave far, far more than you to their country is comething in which you should take no interest, the American Le gion does not want you among its members. If, on the other hand, you spoke thoughtlessly and wish to do your bit in this great work, which is but one of the important activi ties o f the Legion, you will be cor dially received in our ranks.” Reports reaching Commander Stewart are to the ell'ect that great er interest in Lc'gion alfairs is being noted throughout the slate than ever before and that the department goal of 12,Out) members will be reached in 19’6. This interest is attributed to the fact that the American Le gion, through its local posts, has been showing an increasing concern in community work and in many cities has taken a leading role in civic activities. FOREST PROTECTION URGED John W. Ferguson, supervising fire warden for Clackamas and Mar ion counties brought to Estacada on Thursday morning W. V. Fuller, director of publicity for the state Forestry Department, and Geo. E. Griffith, public relations specialist of the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Ferguson is taking over the county his associates in an educa tional tour lecturing on all matters relative to fire prevention and con servation of forests. Notwithstand ing the inclement weather, a lecture was given T riday evening in the large dining room of the Estacada notel, and was well attended. Mr. Fuller spent some time in opening this lecture on the impor- tacne o f this educational tour, he stated as soon as people could be made to understand the importance of extra care regarding fires, that thousands o f dollars of property could be saved to the state and taxes be reduced in the elimination of nearly all of the expense that the state and nation are now compelled ¿o pay on account o f forest and other careless fires. Mr. Griffith ¿lad with him a lantern and slides ¿or the purpose of illustrating the condition o f localities before and after fires had passed the locality, and many of scenic beauty and wild animal life. This lecture was decidedly edu cational and interesting and extra ordinary food for thought. Referring again to Mr. Ferguson, Jack has an argument for the vio lator of the fire ordinance that is seldom misunderstood. He has been at the business for some time anil knows it and others who have deal ing with him knovy equally as well w'nen he has finished the job. GRANGES WILL DEBATE In Oregon keen interest has been aroused in the state-wide debating contests, in which scores o f Granges will participate, with some lively de bates in many sections of the state during the coming months. The question for debate will be, “ Rt solved that the Federal Government shoul dnot begin the development ol any new reclamation projects until there is a demand for agricultural products at a price that will pay cost o f production plus a reasonable profit.” These debates are to be conducted under strict rules o f uni formity and will be heard by large Grange audiences, with the public invited to attend in many instances.

VALENTINE’S DAY For so many yeurs that the mem ory o f mun runneth not to the con trary, sentimental youths and ro mantic maidens have exchanged tokens of uttcclion on what we know as Su Valentine's Day. Just how ¿ne ceremony came into being no- oody knows positively, for its origin is shroud d ill mystery, although the name probably was me result ol one o f those wise compromises the eariy lathers of Christianity made with the piactices of idolatry, grafting into the customs o f the then new religion the feasts and the holidays to winch their converts had been accustomed lixing them on days dear to the church, making them conform to the t.hristian creed, and handing them down to posterity as Christian cus toms and Chr.stian holidays. All the more is this to be suspec ted in this instance, for the reuson that neither o f the good saints whose names are associated with the event knew anything o f romance, and either would have been properly .mocked had anybody so much as Hinted that ne would cast sheep’s yes at the fair sex on February 14 oi any other day.

But whether or no this may be the xplanation, the real origin o f the custom muy be traced, as most other holiday observance», to a crying need deep in the soul o f man. In spring life is at the flood. Even age renews its youth, and youth itself is in mating mood.
