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."

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."

"TWISTING TAILS"
Viscount Cecil, who lecentlyiesigiied
from the Buldwin cabinet to Carry on
n campaign in England for disarm
ament, contributes a long article in
tht London Sunday Timefc under the
caption: "Great Britian and the
United States Twisting Each
Other's Tails."
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 Sunday Times in an edi
torial strongly endorses this sug
gestion, declaring it to be an

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. ' It might very
reasonably break down and cry every
time it realizes It Is a crocodile.
Bring On Your Victims
"Well,"- said the bearded physician,
"I find that you are suffering from 'an
assorted crop of suppressed desires.
You are also the fortunate possessor
of three types of complexes: superior,
Inferior and ulterior. Your thyroid
gland is slightly out of focus, while
neurotically your reactions, are very
poor. I find definite traces of dual
personality and chronic melancholia.
You live in u dream world and are
mixed up In five or six Interlocking
personalities. I think you are perfect
ly safe. Go ahead. No Jury will con
vict you."
