One copy, one year 1 12-00 One copy, six months 22 One copy, three months ' Athena, Oregon, December 2 1927 PLEADS FOR WILDERNESS (Oregon Journal) "What shall we do with our moun tains?" is the question asked by W.B. Greenly, United States forester, in an article printed in the December is sue of Sunset. "Shall the wilder ness be preserved as nature made it or shall a motorized civilization be al lowed to bisect it with roads, covered with hotels and filling stations and traversed by yellow busses streaking through it with sirens shrieking like souls in torment?" The article is a restatement of the chief forester's position in opposition to the proposal to build a combined tramroad and aerial cableway to the summit of Mt. Hood. , "What shall we do not only with our mountains," he asks, "but with the hinterland of canyon, forest, lake and Ainina mptirlnws over which the mountain peaks stand guard? "The answer to that question rests with the people of the West. "The decisions of no government bureau can stand for long unless sustained by public sentiment. It is ud to the people of the West to say wiint t.hv want done with their mountains." "How completely do we want to conquer the wilderness?" he con tinues. "How far can we go in effac ing its sources of virility and its in fluence on the thoughts and aspira tions of men? As urban populations multiply and living hits a faster pace, as more and more people are drawn, willy nilly, into artificial and me chanical modes of life for the bulk of their days, all the, more vital be comes the restoring and preserving influence of our mountains and for ests. The i frontier has long ceased to be a barrier to civilization. The ques tion is rather how much of it should be kept to preserve our civilization," Just as ' the buffalo and virgin timber have disappeared, so will the wilderness disappear if plans are not deliberately made to preserve it, he says. . ' The state of Oregon would lose more than it would gain from the Mount Hood project, Greenly said, in direct reference to it. "Mount Hood is accessible to a large urban popu lation. Around and about it, and well up on some of its slopes are op portunities for motorized recreation. The federal government collaborated w;th the state and counties in build ing a loop road completely around the mountain, providing not only a delightful automobile trip over the spurs and through the timber, but opening up many more camp grounds, summer home locations and other facilities for recreation. "Within this encircling belt,' made readily accessible to the auto trav eler, lies the great central mass of the mountain itselfthe peak with its glaciers and snowbanks, alpine streams, open parks, and the forest types of the high Cascades, It is a wonderful area for mountain climb ing, camping and sojourning in the wilderness; and it is probably more widely used for this purpose and more widely revered for wilderness ap peal than any other part of Oregon. It is true enough that the proposed tram road up Cooper spur and the cableway to the peak, with engines and structures and receiving station? and eating houses, would not wholly destroy the wilderness character of Mount Hood. There would still be left a lot of country to roam about in and approaches where people could climb the mountain on foot. You could say the same thing about a highway through the high Sierras. But the real charm and appeal of Mt. Hood to the mountaineer and nature lover would be gone." issue' that lies behind the night mare of Anglo-American naval rivalry. The controversary over changing the name of Oregon Agricultural college goes merrily on. The Tillamook Headlight says: "Governor Patter son has started something by an nouncing that there is to be an investi gation as to why the good old moni ker 0. A. C, is being sidetracked in favor of "Oregon State." He has all the traditions on his side as well as the law. For the actj creating the' Cor vallis institution supplied the name Oregon State Agricultural college. Didn't they do a good job when the colloquialism 0. A. C, was adopted? Can it be that in the interest of brevity it is thought State is the better name? It might mean any one of 48. But show us another known as 0. A. C."

Gospel in Form Thct Appeals to Tibetans Tibetan printed books are printed from wooden blocks on very Hue buff colored paper manufactured lu the country from the bark of a certain shrub. The pages are long and nar row. They are not bound Into a vol ume, but lie loosely one above another. When not In use the leaves are in closed in two wooden slabs, whicb are often finely carved, and tied with silk ribbons. , The whole Is wrapped in a beautifully embroidered silk cover. The sacred books of Tibet, produced In this way, are regarded with the greatest reverence. A lady mission ary working on the borders of Tibet suggested to the British and Foreign Bible society that a part of the New Testament should be produced In Ti betan style. "This," reports the so ciety, "has now been done. St. Mark has assumed a dress which will make a strong appeal to the Tibetans. They will be led from the attractive ap pearance to the contents, which are still more attractive, and we hope that many of them will be led to the Lord himself."

He discusses all points of the difficulty between the two nations, including disarmament, naval com petition and belligerent rights at sea. On the basis that modern conditions of naval wurfare are quite different from those of Napoleon's times, when England was virtually self supporting with regard to food and raw materials, Lord Cecil points out that England was lucky in the World War in being able to bottle up the German fleet, but that she might not be so lucky in the next war. He suggests that the two coun tries should enter a full dis cussion of the whole question of belligerent rights at sea.

The Willow Does , A Vancouver writer attempts to an swer the question, "Do animals weep?" Certain poets describe a stag as doing so, but when pinned down they admit they have never seen a stag, either weeping or laughing. Vir gil describes a horse that wept behind Its master's bier, but at a time long antedating that at which the writer lived. In sbort, there Is no trust worthy evidence of the phenomenon. The weeping of animals would be Im probable, If only because they do not comprehend what human beings are, and what they are doing, well enough to grieve about It The case of the crocodile Is different.
