N
VALLEY IS FINEST
SPOT ON COAST
BY ) W. WATSON
"There U peculiarly happy stim
ulation la tho atmosphere of your
wonderful valley that lured mo to
linger longer; and then nuother
while, nuil finally another week;
nnd this evening I am sorry that I
must go," said Dr. K. C. HeRsley of
Eastern Missouri, nn ho tarried n
moment to warn the reporter not to
quote him.
''1 have already remained bo long
that I'm almost acclimated," he add
ed: and Ills BGVonty Missouri summers
Teally seemed to have uecn subject
ed to a process of subtraction during
Ills IhII of ten weeks In this valley.
lti'Kivts liO'.s of Time
A professional life of unusual se
verity In exposure nnd privations In
cident to being tho only physician
to minister to tho material ncedB of
n Jnrgo cllentelle of an extensive ter
ritory In a swamp region north of
the Missouri river nnd closo to tho
hanks of tho Mississippi would havo
aged a mnn of ordinary physique
long before Dr. Hessley began to feel
that he was growing old, Indeed, ho
may bo readily pardoned for resent
ing tho Imputation that he Is scarce
ly beyond the horizon of tho prime- of
life today.
"It will forevor remain one of tho
regrets T havo stored away during
my brief span of existence that I did
not find thlH enchanted spot forty
years ago," continued tho doctor.
"During those four decades, though,
1 have made a home back there, about
which seems to cling a cluster of
memories which I am loath to leave.
They are Interwoven with the vines
Hint cover a gravo in n hedged com
lcry there, beside which a plot has
been reserved for me and I feel that
J ought to bo there when It's ready
for me.
Ignorant of our Wenllli
"So Indifferent to tho great wealth
the people of this valley possess In
i linvlug merely a home here, I am
sometimes Impressed with the belief
that many of them do not appreciate
It I have been nway from homo six
months, during which time I havo
Keen much of this golden coast of tho
Pacific. I saw tho great show of
worlillr iPMxliictlonn In the inorvrllonn
exposition at San Francisco. I trn
xerned the principal valleys of Cali
fornia, alluring In their beauty and
charming In their wealth of cultiva
tion; yet the enchantment soon wears
off, like that of the chemical per
fumes; but here, In this valley gem,
framed In Its circle of rugged moun
tain ildgcs containing within Its bor
ders and surrounded by so many of
ihe native growths Intended for use
In the provision of comfort for man,
J have found tho most naturally
home. 111(0 place on the coast.
"I havo farmed nearly " of my
lire. When T " t n,,sy ' I,ro
fesslpuni activities to be my own
farm hand, I superintended the work.
I was particular about It. I farmed
right; and I succeeded. I could have
mieeecdud here. You havo no hur
ricanes; no cyclones; no floods. You
ought to havo no drouths, for you
should long ago have watered the
farms of the valloy fiom your abund
ant mountain springs, lakes and
streams. That neglect Is another
reason for my belief that you don't
know how rloh you are In natural
resources and how freo ou are from
the terrors and the fierce outbursts
of the elements. It is so easy and
so comfortnblo Just to live hero that
many of you haven't sought to Im
prove the situation by tho use of a
great bounty of materials that nature
gave you.
Improvement in Sight
"I find evldonro of progress In the
new generation that has taken hold
of things here, however. They nre
ambitious for bettor things. They
nppear to appreciate their heritage.
They possess civic pride. They havo
Been the world outside and havo been
stimulated by the mighty forces that
first gave emphasis to the word 'ad
vancement.' Tho case has been pre
sented to me by old pioneers here.
1 have analyzed It, Tho men of tho
emigrants' trail, menaced at all times
bj- dangers to llfo and tho fear of
failure, did a great servlco for these
joung men and women who will reap
tlip harvest of their courage and dar
ing Theso fathers and mothors
ought to be promoted to the retired
list and their pension should be a
homo of comfort and ease, prepared
y tnoso ror whom they blazed tho
way
'Don't bother the old men of the
valley. Let them rest In peace. Take
care, how over, that you young fel-
lows iiuu i gei mai uauii ioo eariy in
life. It Is easy to cultivato It In an
atmosphere like this. It Is your duty
ta make this rich valley fairly hum
with energy and enterprise. There
nre thousands of acres of productive
soil here that you have left to tho
rabbits and chipmunks. That Is
shameful waste. God didn't intend
this wholo valley for a playground.
That's why the Indians wero driven
out. It was a just punishment; and
It ought to be made a case of the sur
vival of tho fittest.
"I .saw Crater Lake two months
ago," concluded the doctor. "1 can
not describe it. It would be a great
Joy to me. If I could. It Is tho grand
est natural sceno I ever saw. In all
the world It Is alone In Its glory. Ar
tists havo pnlnted It very beautifully;
but the atmosphere of Its rugged
grandeur Isn't there. It Is an em
erald gem set In tho crest of the
mountain as a special charm fur
ther to adorn the beauties about It."

STATESMANSHIP OF INDUSTRY
(Continued from Page One.)
He spoke of the opportunities of
democratic America.
"I like to think of tho hoy in the
gutter," he declared, "who will some
day stand up and speak tho vnico of
America."
Stand on Own Merits
Business, the president declared,
should stand on its own feet. Amcri
can business men should not, be
afraid to match wits with nnv n the.
world. The typical American should
bo entiiely independent. He added
that business men do not need the
help of official Washington as much
us they think they do.
"Too many business men," he Raid,
"run down to Washington and say,
'it looks like rain; for Ood's sake
give us shelter.'"
The president, amid great np
plnii.se, declared ho believed that
when the present war is over the
people of the world will demand guar
autees that peace shall tcign.
"If America preserves her self
possession," ho added, "he may ex
ert a great mediating influence. I
mean spiritual mediation, unt gov
ernment mediation.". He appealed to
business men to ripply themselves to
business us if they were building up
the constitution of the yuited States
ami u common kindred ot nil man
kind. The president concluded his ad
dress amid great applause. Tito en

Star-Spangled Manner." lie then
