From Washington, D. C,
With Optimistic Word-
Oregon and the entire northwest la
especlslly favored In large-scale plans
now In process of formation for game
conservation and restoration, and
recreational development, according
to Prof. Irving E. Vlnlng of Ashland,
who returned Monday from Washing
ton, D. C, where he attended hear
ing as a represehtalve of the Oregon
game commission. Professor Vlnlng
went to the capltol to attend the
twentieth conference of the American
Game association but during his stay
found his time largely taken up at
hearings of President Rooeevelt'a
committee on wild life restoration,
of which Thomas E.' Beck Is chair
man. Vast expenditures are possible In
Oregon under the committee, with
resulting attraction of tourists and
sportsmen, said Professor Vlnlng.
presents Platform
Professor Vlnlng outlined to the
committee a project for acquiring
sub-marginal land for migratory bird
sanctuaries on Lower Klamath lake
and Malheur lake and a vast reserve
for antelope and sage hens In the
Hart Mountain country of southeast
ern Oregon.
The proposal was given careful at

commission member said, and pro

be necessary to purchase, do not gain
Inflated Ideas on the worth of their
lands, no great difficulty should be
encountered in carrying out the plan.
Four major projects Important to
the west are before the game con
servation committee, according to
Professor Vlnlng. Money to carry
out these projects Is available and
starting of the work waits only final
acceptance of detailed plans ny oni
clals concerned.

Professor Vlnlng declared that west

fore blinds. Widespread feeding, how
ever, was. advocated.
Grating Moot Topic
Forcetry service permits for graz
ing of shoep expire thla year and
must be renewed In 1938. Eastern
delegatea favored prohibition of graz
ing In national forests, mainly for
the reason that the grazing prlvl
leges gave western wool growers an
economic advantage over the eastern
producer, whose sheep must be fed
on private lands.
Western delegatea offered as a so
lution a regulation and quota sys
tem which would give stockmen time
for adjusting their flocks to smsller
range. Professor Vlnlng gave It aa
his opinion that the forestry privi
lege would not be cancelled.

said, Is whether prlvste Industry and

The Oregon Express Is used for the

fully refrigerated and carries 90,000
boxes.
The speed of the boat Is approxi

average trip from Portland to Euro

via the Panama canal.
A Inrgo quantity of Medford pears
were shipped on the boat this fall,
according to Raymond R. Roter, who
returned this week from Portland,
where he had dinner aboard the Ore

"The express service proved by (

FRESH AIR IN SCHOOL
Now Is the time when school chil
dren, studying physiology, hygiene
and all about health, suffer the viti
ating effects of bad air.
It takes a lifetime and more to
learn how much
fresh air It la
safe to admit to
a school room
without exposing
oneself to the
grave hazard of
getting caught In
a draft.
The health au
thorities of the
country are still
singing that old
refrain: "Get
plenty of fresh
air but beware
of drafts or sudden cnangesl" The
average dumb egg turns the problem
over In his alleged mind for a few
years and finally decides to heed the
second clause In the Injunction and
trust to luck or the concern of other
persons for his pure, fresh air. So
what chance has the child In school?
There he Is at the mercy of teacher.
superintendent, Janitor or the member
of the board who Is told to fix
the rules and regulations pertaining
to heating and ventilation. And In
thousands of schools all these of
ficials, in turn, are at the mercy of
the firm that manufactured and In
stalled the ventilating system.
Yankees are all pretty much alike
In their credulity. The young ones
nowadays, they say. drop the Santa
CI hub. fairy tale, stork business at
a shorklngly early age and go on to
higher learning. But the delusion of
taking cold, while It does not cramp
the enjoyment of the young ones so
much, certainly keeps old fogies in
their place. The young of our day
have less reverence for authority than
the young of past generations had.
and this Is an encouraging sign. The
old folks, from lifetime habit and
from sheer Incapacity for constructive
thinking, are more inclined to accept
notions or theories as facts or truths
If these notions are stated with suf
ficient vehemence by some old party
who holds himself or his colleague
out as an authority. That la the
reacon why the cold delusion still
prevails among the old people.
I am not excepting old doctors and
old health authorities: nor the shrewd
youn publicity agents or spokesmen i
nr Rhost writers they employ to sup
port" and defend the notion that cold
or dump Is a cause of disease. I
merely suggest to nil who are still
young enough to take a new impres
sion that there Is no authority In
science, but only learning, and o no
man can pronounce a theory or belief

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS,
D
O YOU like figures? If you do,
here are some that may Interest
you :
With a population 17 per cent as
large as California's, Oregon produces
only 13 per cent as much manufac
tured goods. With 60 per cent ol
Washington's population, our manu
factured goods are worth only 51 per
cent as much.
With eight-tenths of one per cent
of the population of the United
States, Oregon's manufactured pro
ducts are worth only six-tenths of
one per cent of the total.
HP HE conclusion seems to be .usu
al fled that we ought to have more
manufacturing, In order to provide
more payrolls.
The big question is HOW TO GET
IT.
Y UMBER is our principal manufac-
!-j tured product. In output of tt
we are second only to Washington,
which leads the United States.
Oregon's production of lumber now
far exceeds that of Mississippi and
Louisiana, which only a few years ago
topped us by a heavy margin.
The time will- come when Oregon
will top Washington, for we have
more standing timber than Washing
ton.
AS TO lumber manufacture in
Oregon, here are some further in
teresting figures:
In 1929, which was really the last
year of normal production, we had
2464 manufacturing industries in the
state. Of these, 608, or almost exactly
one-fourth, were engaged in the
manufacture of lumber.
Of $411,000,000 of Oregon manu
factured products, $136,000,000 was
represented by the value of manu
factured lumber or considerably
more than one-third.
QO MUCH for value 'of manufac-
J tured product. Let us now take
a look at payrolls.
Of a total of 75,000 persons em
ployed In Industry in 1929, 36.00U
were employed by the lumber In
dustry. Of $106,000,000 disbursed In
Industrial payrolls in Oregon In 1929,
53.000,000 was disbursed by the lum
ber Industry.
f ET'S sum up: .
u In 1929, lumber manufacturing
industries represented approximately
one-fourth of all tho manufacturing
Industries In the state.
The value of our manufactured
lumber was about one-third of the
value of all manufactured products
produced in the state.
The lumber PAYROLL was almost
exactly ONE-HALF the entire Indus
trial payroll of the state.
These figures will give you some
Idea of the part lumber plays In our
scheme of existence here in Oregon.
.
HTHE lumber industry has been flat
1 on Its back for at least two years,
and a few pessimists have told us
dolefully that it will never recover
that the big days of the lumber In
dustry are over.
But the lumber Industry has been
flat on Its back many times before,
and EVERY TIME It has come back.
Mark this prediction: It will come
back AGAIN. And when It does, Ore
gon will see real growth and progress
again.
The Girl Scout court of awards will
