(By C. E. Graves)
I realize that in presenting a subject
of this kindjto a group of business men
1 am laboring under a serious nana
cap. The average American businea
man considers nature study as a sub'
ject that might perhaps interest his
wife or childern, but one for which he
himself has no time or use. I use the
word "American" advisedly, becaus
the situation is quite different in Eu
rope. The European civilization is old
enough for men to have learned the
value of an acquaintance with nature
as a mental, spiritual and economic as
set. The American attitude proceed
largely from a mistaken belief that
nature study does not call for the exer
cise oi any virile masculine qualities
of mind or body, but that it is essen
tially sentimental in character. It is
unfortunately true that a great many
students of nature, especially those of
the feminine gender, allow their mind
to be overpowered by their hearts
when they encounter eome particularly
interesting manifestation or nature.
They are the representatives of what
has been called the "Oh, my" school
of nature study. The typical example
is the old maid school teacher who sits
on the verandah of a summer resort
hotel with her bird glasses by her side
and when a robin appears on the lawn
she rushes wildly down the steps, ogles
the poor bird with her glasses while he
keeps a suspicious eye cocked on her.
and exclaims enraptured, Oh, my
isn t ne beautiful.'
This surface emotion, .however, is
not characteristic of the genuine na
ture lover, lo him nature has a two
fold appeal, intellectual and spiritual.
The intellectual problems are many
and fascinating and are worthy of all
the brains that any man ever put into
his buisnessTafJairs. The spiritual in
fluence of nature satisfies a native.
though often unconscious, craving of
every human soul. It is exactly the
same influence that one finds in the
grandest expressions of music, in the
most sublime creations of art, and in
the most solemn and soul-compelling
moments of dramatic and oratorical
effort. Those of you who have wit
nessed a wonderful sunrise or sunset
from an isolated mountaintop have ex
perienced that spiritual influence in its
most obvious and potent form. Now
there is exactly the same influence in
the lesser manifestations of nature if
we have the necessary acquaintance
with the various forms of nature to
appreciate them properly. That is
where nature studv comes in.
I have entitled this paper "Nature
Study as a Hobby." It is hardly nec
essary to devote any time to argu
ments as to the value of hobbies. .It
is almost universally recognized now
adays that'everyone should have a hob
by or an avocation of some kind, if for
no other reason than as a safety valve
for his physical and mental pressure
system. It may be a mental hobby.
such as reading detective stories, or it
may be an athletic hobby, such as ten
nis or golf, or it may be a sportsman's
hobby, such as hunting or fishing or
mountain climbing. Whatever it is, the
study of nature or rather of some par
ticular branch of nature can be taken
up and carried on with a minimum of
interference with one s other activi
ties, and the pleasure gained from it
will much more than compensate for
the small amount of time required. If
you have no hobby at present nature
study can be made to nil all of your
spare time with the very best of physi
cal and mental exercise. If your spare
time seems to tie already nned up you
can carry on nature study during your
trips out or doors at times when you
would otherwise ne twiddling your
tnumos lor want or something to do,
and you will find that an acquaintance
even though it be only a small one
with the trees, the birds, the flowers
the rocks or the animals, will make
your tups along the highways or
through the woods much more enjoy
HDie.
The first interest in all of these sub
jects usually comes from a desire to
identify species. Do you know the
name of a certain bird with a black
back, yellow breast and slate colored
wings that has been flitting among the
trees on the West Fork lately? Do you
Know me name or a certain cream col
ored flower with five very hairy petals
which grows near Cloud Cap Inn? Do
you know how a Douglas fir cone can
be distinguished from other evergreen
cones? Do you know the difference
between a black bear, a brown bear
and a cinnamon bear?
These questions and others like them
lead on to further investigations and
soon we begin to call on the libraries
for help. We find that we have been
well provided with pocket guide books
and text books of all descriptions. Fro
the birds we have Heed's Western
bird Guide, a small pocket sized leath
er covered book with colored illustra
lions and short popular descriptions.
an excellent beginners' book. For the
flowers, there is Armstrong's Western
Wild b lowers, with illustrations Dartlv
colored and partly black and white, the
best popular flower book for this part
oi me country, for th trees, Sud
worth's Forest Trees of the 1'acific
blope is a masterly piece of work and
mine oi lniormauon. lhere are
very few points that he has left undis
cussed. It is a paper covered book
-.t-ii i i i
wiui uiacK anu wnue arawings and is
issued by the government printing
office. For geology we have the ad
mirable pamphlet on the Golumb
river gorge, published by the Oregon
itureau oi annus and ueology.
The animals of this section are fairly
wen covered in Vernon tiasley a Look
on the Wild Animals of Glacier Na
tional i'ark. published in 1918 by the
National I'ark Service. David Starr
Jordan's book is. of course, the stand
ard book on American fishes. W. G
Wncht has written and published an
excellent book on the Uuttertlies of the
West Coast,containing colored plates of
artout bw umerent specits found in
this part of the country.

such as insects, shells, astronomy,
ferns, mushrooms and so forth, all of
which are written up in text books.
A pair of field glasses and a mirro-
rope will help out in studying most of
these subjects, but they are not entire
ly indispensable.
After we have learned to identify
sicies the rext questions that interest
us are concerned with the habits, lif?
history and the ratural processes by
which these various forms of nature
prow and reproduce themselves. We
find these questions di.cussed in a aer
ies of volumes, some of them technical
and scientific in nature, and ethera de
cidedly n pular. Some of our best
known ratiiralicta have reached real
literary heights' by their contributions
to these discusiors. There is, for in
trance Henry David Thoresu, the
greatest writer of them all and one of
America's truly great literary men.
There is John liurrotigfc. well known
bird man; John Muir, lover preemi
nent of the western rooun tains; l:rad-f-
rd Torrey. William Henry Hudson,
Walter I'ritchard Katon and mary
others too numerous to mention, whose
writings have had a tremendous influ-
y ence in popularizing nature study.

quiescent during the winter months
but nature study is one that can be
pursued to excellent advantage at the
fireside through the large amount of
interesting literature available. Most
of these books have a certain travel
flavor about them which gives them
the necesnary:mental kick.
In conclusion let me sum up as fol
lows : Nature study is a subject which
is irreproachably fit for the masculine
mentality. It is not at all sentimental
in character, but anneals primarily to
the intellect and to that spiritual crav
ing which is inherent in every human
being, even though he be not conscious
of it. It otters a hobby which inter
feres to a minimum degree with one s
other activities. A utudy of any one
of the different branches of nature will
make all outdoor excursions much
more interesting. These studies are
greatly facilitated by the numerous
text books and Docket guide books
available nowadays. After the identi
fication of species has been mastered
the more complex problems can be fol
lowed up through the medium of the
high grade literature wbichour nature
writers are turning out.
1 bave made no efiorl to touch on
the economic side of this subject, to
link up nature study with the conser
vation of our natural resources and
scenery. I beUeve that this link is a
very obvious one and needs no explana
tion before an organization of business
men. I have no apologies to offer for
confining my whole effort to an at
tempt to remove some of the preju
dices existing as to th unsuitability of
nature study as tr masculine hobby,
and to show how it can be carried on
with a minimum of interference with
one's other activities.

Old Bus to Be Preserved
The old Umatilla House bus, which
used to run between the railroad sta
tion and the once splendid hostelry of
The Dalles, will not be returned to its
dark den under the rotting floors of
the old structure where for years it has
been subject to the ebb and flow of
Columbia river floods.
The bus. in which many Hood River
pioneers have ridden, was dragged out
for the historical section of the Ameri
an Legion parade recently. Mrs. Lulu
D. Crandall, recognizing its historical
value, interceded and with the aid of
Circuit Judge Wilson procured it as
gift to the Old Fort Dalles Historical
Society. Thorns N. Crofton, who now
runs the Umatilla House, inheriting
thereby the ancient conveyance, made
the presentation. The bus will be taken
to the fort grounds and suitably housed
for preservation. It was built in 1879,
and in its day was a most resplendent
vehicle.
Beggar Oilers to Change Dollar
A citizen here the other day was
accosted by a visiting vagabond who
solicited the price of a meal. He felt
n his pocket and finally announced
that he only had a dollar, which as
gift he felt a greater maximum than
the need required.
Oh, I can change it for you
snapped the beggar.
Hut his eagerness and the offer o
change lost him the price of a meal
Instead of a feeling of charity the lo
ai man was aroused, he stated in
teling of the incident, to a righteous
ndignation. He pocketed 'his dollar
and threatened to call the police. . The
