W illiam Tugman, erudite editor
of the Umpqua Courier at Reeds­
port, in comment on some belit-
tlement of our ideas of progress
that were w ritten in this paper,
says: “ We doubt if Mr. French,
himself would be content w ith
the life of a ‘fish Indian’, liv in g
in a smoky h ut beside the roar­
ing stream, completely dependent
on the whims of Nature, of the
victim of his Superstitious Fears.”
Well, No. The life of a fish
Indian or anyone else who lived
100 years ago is not appealing to
one who has become accustomed
to a softer life and mankind (the
w rite r included) likes nothing
lietter than ease.
But it would lie the flies and
the diet that would appall, not
the superfluous fears. We have
them now Just as did the Indian
and the white man of 100 years
ago and those who live in 2055
w ill have as much fun laughing at
superstitious fears of 1956 as we
do those of our benighted ances­
tors. One generation’s supersti­
tion is another generation’s loud
guffaw and the worst superstition
we could have would be that we
have none.
The Wasco county court hired
the Tudor engineering company
to make a survey to determine
what effect the building of a
bridge across the Columbia at
Biggs rapids would have on the
revenue of The Dalles bridge.
The report, Just released, shows
that it would take longer to pay
for The Dalles bridge than if the
Biggs rapids bridge was not built
and that $760,000 additional inter­
est would be needed. The Dalles
bridge has been paying hand­
somely because of dam workers
and this revenue is about to end
so payment w ill be slower in any
event.
The court has asked Tudor to
check again about the diversion
that would result if the Biggs
rapid bridge were built because W H IT E L IN E

The bulletins that various de­
partments of government put out
for the education of the people
have always Interested us. Some
one has bed to think each one of
them important.
This Interest
was recently stimulated by re­
ceiving from the Hon. Sam Coon
a list of
bulletins available
through his office.
Quite a few of them are about
food and how to cook It including
one ’’Ways to cook Rabbit” which
may or may not qualify.
