Editorial Correspondence
FISH CREEK, Wisconsin, Aug. 6th. No sooner off the
Streamliner than we landed a job. Which accounts for the
long lapse in this column.
The job was to drive the family Buick up to Fish Creek,
Wisconsin (where this is being written amid the pines and
cedars and birches of the Green Bay shore) and visit a nephew
who is spending the summer at a Boys' Summer Camp on
Adventure Island.
This used to be the wilds of northern Wisconsin-rbut is no
more. Paved roads, some of them four-lane speedways, lead
up here from Chicago, and the streets of this little village are
packed with cars almost as thickly as the Main Stem at home
on a Saturday night. Cars from all over the country, too,
except Oregon (Florida, Oklahoma, California, Kansas, Ohio,
New York). The nephew says he saw one from Oregon, which
found us slightly skeptical, but we wouldn't wager a dime on
the other side. He is a very accurate young man.
Took us nearly seven hours to make the trip of 8bout 280
miles, and we stopped for nothing except a hasty lunch just
outside of Milwaukee. Ran into a rain which slowed us up a
trifle, but the real cause of the slow going was getting out of
Chicago and through the city that beer made famous. Spent
half an hour trying to find a "left-hand turn," near the North
western station, and then it was slow going until we reached
Wacker Drive snd connected with the new four-lane highway
up the lake shore. We made a valiant effort to avoid Milwau
kee but after wandering around Robin Hood's barn, with one
service station saying one thing and the next something
entirely different, gave it up as a bad job and spent a solid
hour wedged in stop and go traffic, and large blue bottle flies.
.
Was surprised to find Milwaukee has a population of over
half a million, had an idea it was about the size of Portland.
This would make about a dozen flies per capita, judging by
our experience. However perhaps we were in the brewery
district and didn't know it, for flics have a weakness for beer.
However before the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce files
a protest let us say that judging by the egress via the lake
shore, Milwaukee is one of the most beautiful residential cities
in the middlewest.
The highway ran through rich rolling country, dotted with
fine looking farms, wheat in the shock, which always pro
vides a restful and attractive scene. Before we ran into rain
many threshing crews were at work, the engines belching smoke
and the blowers filling the air with dust and straw., much of
the latter reaching the highway, due to a heavy cross wind.
The highway would be improved scenically if the beer signs
were taken down. There is a beer in Milwaukee for every
letter in the alphabet. This is literally true, from Arnold
through Blatz, and Kingsbury to Zellanders, and they all
advertise. At a small service station lunch counter we ordered
cheese sandwiches and milk, of a red cheeked German maedschen
and in the interim had the gas tank filled, the tires and oil
checked. When we returned there were the sandwiches
Wisconsin cheese on rye, and two foaming mugs of beer.
The red cheeked miss was nowhere to be found, and the elderly
woman sitting behind the counter, didn't appear to understand
English. So we took the beer and it was excellent, Miller's
High Life on draught we decided beer as the beverage within
a radius of 20 miles of Milwaukee is taken as a matter of course.
.
There are two hotels here, Thorp's and Welcher's botli
consist of a main wooden frame hotel where meals are served,
and innumerable cottages, scattered about. This being a brief
stop we didn't try a cottage, but secured rooms in one of the
mam buildings. Amazingly good accommodations and sur
prisingly cheap. Room, bath and threo meals per day for H50
per day. Everything plain and simple, but comfortable, and
fishing, sailing, tennis, golf thrown in if one likes. Judge the
fishing is good but not exciting. At least one boat load came
in with a large mess of perch and two bass, there vere eight
men in the party and a keg of beer. They had been anchored
most of the dav. near Adventure Island, were nicely burned and
were approaching the Sweet Adeline mood as they marched up
from the pier. In fact two in the rear, readied it.
This morning motored over to a nearby resort called
Ephriam where we ran into some old friends from Rockford,
now livinc in Cliicaeo who had cruised up from Chicago in
their schooner. The skipper had
the C'hicago-Mackinac yacht race
near making the front page m the Chicago Tribune. About
two hours out from Chicago ran into a storm, one of the
worst in lake history for August, his crew, a group of ama
teurs out for a lark, were all so
and flop. He had to stay at
soaked to the skin, and "lashed to the mast" to keep from
being washed overboard. Finally got one of the crew to relieve
him for 30 minutes, while he went below, changed to some dry
thinus. and srot a cun of hot coffee. It was touch and go tlie
rest of the night, but he finally
three boats finished the rcce. He looked the part, grey aim
wan and jumpy his wife said she tried to keep him from setting
out for this cruise but had no luck. He had planned such a
vacation and was going to have it. If he enters the race again,
he won't pick his crew from the Saddle and Cycle club but go
down to the waterfront !
Hired a boat to go over to Adventure Island two miles
across the bay to see the nephew and then just in time,
learned the boys were on a hiking trip and had spent the night
in pup tents near Bailey's Harbor, eight miles from Fish creek.
So motored over there, and found the young man, rolling up
his outfit, and getting ready for a swim. A marvelous beach,
nnr .hitn ami water so shallow one could walk out half a
mile, without getting wet above
from six years to fourteen, spiasnea in wiui cuuiuv vi n.i
councilors in the lead, and stayed in for a couple of hours.
Times have changed. An hour was the limit in the gay nineties.
The young man is nine and big for his age come to think
of it, did you ever hear of a boy who ISN'T! He has a mop of
flaxen hair, a round face and a recline red nose. He didn't
like the camp last year, but does this year; says it's "swell".
That popular term and the expletive "gosh", constitute practi
cally his entire vocabulary at the present time, llus worries
Miss B and Orandpap. They seem to forget there are styles
in expression as in everything else, and boys are slaves to
style. They abandon the vernacular of their younger days, as
regularly as they do their first teeth and a tew years later ineir
razor blades.
He has built, a kyak with his own hands, cBn swim dog
paddle across the pond, and is now engaged in fashioning a
leather belt for his grandfather (takes a good rice of leather
to encircle Orandpap!) Back from the hike the boys were
allowed one ice cream cone apiece and a candy bar. P. chose
"Buy Jimminy", a peanut concoction, and a cherry-marsh-
mallow cone. Ho is an expert in candy bars per example:
Gosh the "Buy Jimminy" is swell, but gosh. "HershryV
almond cake" is swell too; and so is "Oh Boy" and "Bnhy
Ruth", full of dextrose that means sugar that's good for you,
and gosh I like "Butterfingers", about as well and "Merry-Go-
Round" bar ain't bad, and gosh and so on and so forth far
into the night, or rather the day.
.
Cherries form the chief commercial crop hereabouts, fxcept
of course, tourists. All the way up from Sturgeon Bay, there
were gaugs of pickers in the srehaid, a jjoljgiut Sew of men
a tale to tell. He had entered
the week before, ana came
sea sick they had to go below
the wheel nine hours straight,
made Milwaukee harbor. Only
the shoulder straps. All the boys
and women and children, all ages, all sizes, all nationalities.
There are few sweet cherries grown up here, which is perhaps
one reason why there are so many signs, "Come in and pick
your own." The season is about over now. Cherries are not as
profitable as tourists, it seems. ' R. W. R.

Comment

By FRANK JENKINS
UP on the Sn'.-qualmle forest in
Washington, a little while back,
an old wagon wheel was found, and
careful checking leads to the belief
that It belonged to one of two emi grant
wagons lost In that vicinity In
1853.
fiEOROE H. HIMES, 93-year old
Portlunder, waa a member of the
expedition that lost these wagons, and
he tells an interesting story of how
they cam to be lose. -
The waon train, he says, came out
on a rim rock on tl.e Naches pass In
the late fall of 1353. Tney tried to
find a way down, tut couldn't. Win
ter was coming on and every hour
was valuable, so they resorted to he
roic measurt s.
Oxen were killed and skinned and
their hides cut Into strips. With these
strips cables were made and by meani
of these cables the wagons were let
down the rim rock.
TWO were lost in the process, and
it is assumed that the old wheel
Just discovered uo.cnged to one of
them, out the ot'wrs got down tha
cliff safely, and at the bottom the
remaining oxen '.vnlch had been led
down a brrak In HIV rim were hitched
on and the expedition was resumed,
finally arriving at :ts destination near
the present site of Tacoma.
THERE was no Santa Claus govern
ment to be annealed to ln those
days no CCC boys to he called in to
help; no WPA to m-n Into the breach
with a rehabilltat'oi project.
The pioneers who settled this We.
era country were rugged lnvidtdual
lsts, and proud of It. It 1a doubtful If
they would have welcomed CCC aid.
It Is debatable If cr.ty wouldn't have
chased WPA worker back where they
came from.
It la certain they wouldn't have
thought of asking the federal govern
ment for help. Whtn the West -as
beinc settled, people helped them
selves and ln emerncles helped each
other.
NO onu wants to go back to those
rug'tfd. crude and In so many
ways harsh times. The world haa mov
ed along in these 60-odd years, and
life Is easier for u than It was for
our pioneering ' r.ncistors. It la no
crime to live In and take advantai.
of easier times.

But by not saying anything, they
tacitly assent to the thesis that the
president gets the last word. If any,
on the question of neutrality, which,
ln effect, nullifies the "mandatory"
element entirely. .
The law, of course. Is on the
statute books all right, but congress
la realizing that It doesn't mat

Is Just nothing that can be done
about It.
It has been the administration's
contention from the first that only
the broad principles of neutrality
can be legislated. The present Slno
Japanese case Is being offered as
fresh proof that each situation must
be Judged on its own merits.
An embargo clamped down on both
belligerents would work distinct ad
vantage to Japan, whlln America's
traditional sympathy has always been
with China.
No wonder the diplomatic equiva

It will be no surprise If Senator
Vandenberg or some of his colleagues

something mollifying to say on tho
subject. Or. perhaps quite as sig
