Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TNR. Kay Lyman Wilbur, secretary
of the Interior, who haa been
.pending a few days In Oregon, la a
regular fellow the aort you feel In
stinctively you would like to go hunt
ing or flssmg with.
There la nothing of the big ahot
about him. He sits cown with a
group of ord'ri&iy strangers, and In t
few minutes he Is one of the crowd.
Nobody remembers for more than a
minute or so that he la a member of
the cabinet of the President of the
United States. He Is Just anoher good
scout.
BDT then he la a western man.
There Is no getting around It.
Western men are more Inclined to be
that way. There are plenty of East
erners who are good scouts, but tho
'percentage of the total Is nowhere
nesr as high.
BY the way. If a good looking
stranger came along and pro
posed that you go Into business with
him, on terms that looked extremely
attrsctlve, how would you go about
getting acquainted with him QUICK
LY, so hat you would know whether
you would want to be associated with
him In a close personal way?
This writer, in such a case, would
take him out Into the mountains on
a hunting or fishing trip. After
you've been out in the hills with a
man for a couple of weeks, you
KNOW him.
Here's betting that Secretary Wil
bur could take that test and come
out with flying colors.
CAME up through here first on
ft
my way to Bend," he says, "for
a camping trip Into the Eight Lakes
basin.
"We got into Bend and started
looking for a guide and finally found
one. We were told, however, that If
we took along thla particular guide
we'd have to take the telephone girl
along too, and for a moment or so
the whole scheme looked pretty scaly
to mel' " ' .
"But It' turned out that the tele
phone girl In question was a grand
mother, and In addition she was the
wife of the guide. So It turned out
all right."
( INCIDENTALLY," he says, "It
waa a mighty good thing we
took the telephone girl along, for she
waa the boss of that family. Her
husband, the guide, wasn't worth a
whoop on hla own account, but with
his wife driving him he waa all
right."
(iftiE of my biggest Interests,"
Secretary Wilbur says. "Is find
ing an area that can be flooded to
provide a resting place and breeding
place for migratory game birds.
"That seems to be an absolute ne
. cesslty for their protection and In
crease." IT la needless to add that he was
promptly told of Lower Klamath
lake. He displayed great Interest at
once. It can be safely taken for
granted that the project to reflood
Lower Klamath lake, restoring It as
the great bird refuge It once wss. will
find a friend In Secretary Wilbur.
THE Indians, Secretary Wilbur says,
have been unfortunate. They
have been caught between their fool
sentimental friends, on the one hand,
and the white men who want to ex
ploit them on the other.
It Is probable, he thinks, that the
fool sentimental friends of the In
dians have done even more harm
than the white men whose Idea has
been exploitation.
The exploiting white men have at
least understood the Indian, which
la more than can he said of the sen
timentalists.
-4-e-
"to think of the Indians aa a van
ishing race. They aren't. On the con
trary, they are Increasing In number..
Among the Karajos, for example, the
Increase In population Is presenting a
real problem, for they are overflowing
their reservation."
Q PEAKING of Lower Klamath lake,
he says: '"Beclamatton goea by
flta and starts. A while back reels
matlon waa all the thing, and under
the spur of till belief a vast and
wonderful wild life area In northern
Minnesota wis drained, and RUTN1!t).
"The land haa been valueless for
asnculture. and the draining of the
lakes haa ruined It as a wild life
region."
We make plenty of mistakes In this
country, don't we?
