WHAT DO WE BURN WHEN WE
BURN OUR TREES?
By- EDITH M MOSIIER
What do we burn wh n we burn our trees?
We burn the home for you and me,
We bum the carriage house, barn and shed
The baby's cradle, the little boy's sled,
The bookcase, the table, the rocker of ease,
We burn all of these when we burn our trees.
What do we burn wh Jti we burn cur trees?
The daily comforts which everyone sees.
The wages for man for years to come,
In factories big, where busy wheels hum
For industries many depend on trees -When
our forests burn we burn all these.
What do we burn when we burn our trees?
The homes of birds, the squirrels- and bees,
The home of the brook and the cooling spring
Whete violets blossom and bluebirds sing,
The beauties of nature, so fair to please
We burn all these when He burn our trees.

April 2, 1927.
Dear Father:
It was good to
hesr from you again. Walter wrote
to me just before he left for San
Diego. He did'nt say why he was
going but I thought it might be
almost anything from champion
ing the Mexican insurrection to
becoming a movie actor. But there
is probably a great deal of ro
mance even in the dyeing busi
ness.
McNarv's Farm bill would prob
ably have helped 'he farmers in
your section a great deal. A boy
from Portland lives right next
door to me in the dormitory.
He telle me that quite a number
of banks have failed in Oregon
recently. Warner Fuller is his
name. He has lived in Portland
all his life. It is possible that I
will go out there with him to
practice law. I will probably get
through law tchool in June. It
has been tough going since I got
out of the Navy to fo through
college and law school. I had to
go to night school in New York
City and hire tutors to prepare
for college. and then took the
entrance examinations. You can
imagine the grind,-working all
day and studying till late into
the night. But I was happy when
it was all over and I was in col
lege. I went to City College In
New York for a short time and
then transfered to Brown Univer
sity. After I finished therel came
to Yale for my law course. Yale
has without doubt the best facul
ty and method of instruction to
be had. Harvard is too dogmatic
in its views, and is inclined to b
theoretical rather than practical.
I have rmt many b yi from all
over the country and have made
quite a few friends.
I don't remember where the
Grilf place is unless it is the one
near the railroad toward Hepp
ner. 1 can't remember any such
place near Sperry's old larm,
which I believe is in the opposite
direction from the center of the
town. I remember that I used to
buddy with the Hopkins and the
Blake kids, also Parson Brown's
boys.lt is queer that.Ioi-e should
have had at that time a parson
by the name of Brown and another
by the name of Jones. I thought
Guendolyn Jones wasthe prettiest
girl n town, and I was quite im
love with her, r II of which you
did not know,
How Is Pop Walker? Does hel
still run the big store on Main
SireetT He was my friend and 1
hud great respect for him. Make
my apologies for not keeping my
promise to write tohim every day.
He had a son who was a good
sport. I was jealous of him tie-
cause he married my first teach
er, I cun't remember her name,
b Jt I think it was Alice Fleming,
She was pretty and 1 took her
flowers when she was sick. I
wanted to express my love for
her but didn't Know how. Walk
er did though and he got a good
wife, She paddled me once for
making a wise crack in class,
i believe the Pennington girl told
on me. Her faster a us the station-master
wasn't ht? Anyway
she seemed to have a grudge a
gainst me-1 mean the Penning
the girl. We had a Principal whom
we dubbed 'The Walking Hat
Kick" because h I. id ,toeh
lorg clin. I Uon'i remember her
r
name thuiigh. She had a dugh
and thev live over the hardware i
store on Main Street, near Walk
er's store. A boy we dubbed mon
key used to like her prety well.
The skating rink was a great
it slilution, I thought, and 1 spent
J j most of my time and all of my
J. money the; e for quite a while.
) ll was a pathetic attempt to have
1 ; agood time.
jjOue of the most tragic things
j , ll. at happened to me (here was
X I to ko thtre to a masked ball ar.d
X not be able to get a pair nf ukates
to fit me. But I made out pretty
well with a pair a size too large.
I wish I could remember the name
of Nat who ran the store do vn
near Biz Engelman's saloon. He
was a good boy. He caught a ball
the funniest of any one I knew.
He would put his wrists closely
and have nts nanas open like a
bird with a huge bill and sort of
swallow up the ball. He locked
in his warehouse once for snitch
i ing apples from. That cured me
of wrongdoirg. for ever since
then I have had a deadly horror
of being locked up.
Do you remember the time I
ran away from the Smith ranch
nearEightmileand came to where
you were? 1 must have walked
fur hours for I was very tired
and my poor pup was done up.
We stood at the top of a high
mountain or butte and saw your
camp miles off. So I carried the
pup and we got there for dinner.
I
wish 1 had as much courage
now a& 1 had then. There was a
French woman at Smith's place
who did the cooking and would
try to teach me French on the
side. I ready picked up quite a
little fromherthoughshe thought
my pronunciation was poor of
pomme de terre. Whose ranch
were we at when I rode the hone
Charley bareback and he threw
me into a haystack over his head?
Something like the spills that the
Prince of Wales takes though not
so gracefully executed. We had
some good times ,i ching hay
and hauliag water I gether and
I often wish for tl.ose (rood limes
again. The fun jm have in the
East is toosuperfici il. I think it
is because I was i aided on na
tore's bosom.
1 have alwajK IihI a tender
spot in my heart fur Oregon and
want some day to U- a teal help
to her. While I was n New York
I mel Governor Pierce' daughter,
Claire. She is a go. d sport and a
clever gin. She wan taking some
courses at Columbia.
There many lemons why I
want to see you soon, the chief
one being that you are my fath-
er. I would give r great deal to
come out there this ummer Who
can tell; perhaps I shall. Kit I
have a lot to do before lean claim
a respite. You know i he old say
iag about striking ihs iron when
it's hot.
Let me hear from j ou soon.
Remember me to a. I my friends
in lone.
Your affectionate son,
