ARANT ASKS PAY
FROM UNCLE SAM
(Kltunnih Northwestern)
Former Superintendent VT. Frank
Arnnt of Crater Lake national park,
who was removed by order of Sec
retary of tho Interior Lane early last
summer, received n letter from tho
interior department Wednesday tcll
inp; him for about tho 'stcenlh time
that ho had been removed and no
further salary as superintendent was
coming to him.
Mr. Arant has forwarded his bill
"to tho interior department each
month since ho was ousted as head
of tho park. With each bill goes a
letter stating that tho writer is
awaiting orders to perform certain
tasks in connection with tho park
work and that ho still considers
himself the lawful superintendent. In
reply to each of theso notifications
for monthly salary claimed duo him,
Mr. Arant receives tho reply that he
lias been removed nnd no salary is
duo him from tho date of his re
moval. Superintendent Arant maintains
that ho was illegally removed from
the park nnd is still tho only man
that should claim to ho in chnrgo of
tho park. Although Will O. Steel
was placed in charge following Ar
ant's forccable removal last sum
mer Arant has continued to send his
monthly statement of salary duehim
nnd ho feels that ho is in a position
to collect this salary unless it is pos
itively shown that he was legally re
moved. SNOW S10PS IRK

Thoy bespeak u full house -.
any ImmciHntu hopo for resumption of construction activity on the .Natron
Klamath line. although several new surveys of Hint road have, been or
dered. An effort Is being nuule to occuro a way over the Siskiyous at a
lower elevation than originally established.
As a matter of fact, the projected Natron cut-off and
the loudlv trumpeted switching of the Southern Pacific
main line through Klamath was a bluff to prevent the
extension of the Oregon Trunk to a connection with the
Pacific & Eastern and to boom the Klamath property
holdings of the Southern Pacific company and its officials.
The Natron line would parallel the Oregon Trunk and
render its financing difficult. Enough work was done by
the South, rn Pacific to accomplish this purpose then it
ceased. .
The use v( the Xatron cut-off as a mam hue was never
reallv contemplated. Tt is common knowledge among rail
road' ongim i-rs that the Natron Pass over the Cascades
involved more difficult and costlier construction and
steeper grades than that over the. Siskiyous. It necessi
tated miles of snowsheds and would have been very costly
to operate. To make this route practical as the mam line,
called for the abandonment of the present Weed line and
the construction of a hundred miles of new lino through
the lava beds east of Mount Shasta to a connection near
Bedding a, desolate district covered with twenty feet ol
snow throughout the winter.
Had the inouev wasted on the Natron cut-ott been
spent improving the present line over the Siskiyous, the
latter would be a better main line than that of the. Central
Pacific over the Sierra Nevadas. The line can be short
ened and the worst grades eliminated by tunnels.
It is oulv a question of time, perhaps of competition,
until these improvements are made, for this line of the
Southern Pacific is the best paying railroad in the coun
try. It was origiuallv built for mileage, so as to secure
as much property as possible in the land grant. .It can
bo shortened fifty miles between here and Koseburg and
the grades lessened if desired, and similar improvements
could be made throughout southern Oregon.
The constant talk of switching the main line has kept
many people away from southern Oregon, retarded its
development and worked a real injury to the section. Now
that the purposes of the bluff have been served, railroad
development thwarted and southern Oregon kept in the
Harrimau preserves, we shall probably hear no more ot
it for a time at least.
The next talk of switching the main line will be to
the coast it will serve a useful purpose to again blulL
railroad builders and keep southern Oregon bottled up.
The Open Air Treatment
It sometimes happens that when
popular explanatton.of a phenomenon
is disproved tho Impression is pro
duced that tho occurrenco of tho
phenomenon Itself Is denied. Some
thing like this has taken placo with
referenco to the recent work on tho
physiologic factors Involved In room
ventilation and tho qpen air treat
ment. Thero Is.rcason to oeuevo mm
tho cenoral public Is still somewhat
contused on this point. It was for
a long time supposed that the had
effects of closo and crowded rooms
were duo to chemical Impurities In
their air, to excess of carbon dloxld
or to organic polon, or elso to lack
of oxygen. No ono of theso expla
nations Is tonaulo In tho light of re
cent experiment. On tho contrary,
all the til effects observablo In
cru" led roo.nk eem to depend on
the staiiiMii'jii, Ms' tempoMturo and
uioibtun. In i-. a,r: In a word, to
those factors tbst disturb the normal
heat regulation r tho body. If the
temporaturo ami moisture aro kept
low, human exhalations may bo al
lowed to accumulate without notice
able effect to a point far abovo that
ordinarily observed in the most
"badly ventilated" room. On the
other band, if tho experimenter
breathes "puro" outdoor air through
a tubo, but allows his body to bo con
fined in a small chamber whero tem
perature and molsturo aro at a high
point, he will soon havo all tho symp
toms commonly attributed to "breath
ing foul air."
To substitute this explanation,
which is wholly in accord with re-'
cent experimentation, for tho once
current theory that expired air has a
toxic property is not to question tho
valuo of frcBh air or to decry tho

(By Qeorgo E. Boos)
This article, taken from tho Ne
