'
At the risk ol Incurrini! the wrath
ot u ood many of our friends
we re linally urouijni to inc puuu
tnlr. morning of speaking out force
luliy on the subject of forest roads.
Oregon has just been alloted a
bit better than three million dol
lars to e used in building and
jopali iiir roads in our national for
ests. Tii.it is the second greatest
turn aKolcd to any one state, only
Cauloroia gelling more, some 1200,.
000 more.
probably all well and good, it
couid even transpire that these
roads will someday be the neiwo;t
of a mixhty system of military
highways nnd bypasses through the
Pacuic Northwest.
Eut it points to a dull nnd dis
mal near iiiiuie for the lovers of
the outdoors, lor those few who
still like in net bevond the sound of
dlcscl engines, out of sis ht of bill-1
boards and unsightly heaps of tin
cans and junk and completely away
from the picnic grounds filled with
an coual mixture of shouting ball
players empty beer bottles and !
wairmclon rinds.
Tnc CCC started the work of tear
ing down our wilderness with the
maze of roads they built, for r.o
apparent purpose other than to keep
fcomc of New York's unemployed
youth on a steady job. Some of
these CCO roads have since been
taken over by various agencies, the
counties, lumber firms have built
litem up to transport timber, the
states themselves have taken over
portions of the roads and with fed
eral aid have made highways out
of them.
The net result has been to nit
the great outdoors within easy driv
ing range .of the family sedan
and open up hundreds of thousands
of acres of deer range to the hunt
ers nnd hundreds of creeks for
the fishermen who would rather fol
low a fish hatchery planting truck

is months past due so must
write it lo ease my conscience
some.
Have felt nr some lime that
credit should be given our district
attorney Frank Alderson, and Just
put oil willing for lack of time.
He must feel pretty "low" at
limes and think his Job a thankless

stllf competition and bull-head-ednoss
of some of our top city
officials.
I say Minnie and double shame"
on Ihe.-e people of supposedly high
Integrity for being so ' open'' wuh
their opposition with Mr. Alderson.
Its bcrn a stupid, childish fight
every lime and nm at all funny
10 the people of Klamath eounlv
who, I think, stand for good clli
renship and sportsmanship all the
way. It s been degrading and hu
mlllaling to us. Do not these men
who act so "small" care at all
about their families Bnd we the
people who they nre supposed to
bring law and order to?
I at first thought when these bat-

It is too late to do much about
lne nreas that are already open,
jjUl et us fervently hope mat the
. lunas will no usea, as pieuiseu, iui
the repair of present roads and
not for spearing new roads into
our wilderness areas.
Even with outdoor camping and
the family camping trip vacation
at a peak we can't afford any more
loaos than we now have. It's time
to call a halt in this road build
ing: craze.
Let the chamber of commerce
tourist committees tell travelers to
stick to the main traveled higii-
wavs. use our excellent campincr
j facilities, look at our spectacular
scenery Irom carelulty prepaiod

arrow to Hie nearest rest room.
Let's not get on the neck of the
lawmakers to open up some terri
tory so we can make an outdoor
ballroom out of it. too.
Ernie Hedlund came up with a
very appropriate remark the other
day. We were discussing the action
taken by the citizens of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki in suing the United
States for damages caused when
the atom bomb was dropped.
Fine, says Ernie, let 'cm go ahead
and sue. And in return let the US
sue for the damages done in the
sneak attack at Pearl Harbor, for
the thousands of lives lost to the
Jap fleet In their drive down
Iron Bottom Bay on what they
thought was a helpless force with
out either gasoline or ammunition.
And how about them paying for the
bitter deaths near Bly, caused when
a wind driven balloon bomb blasted
the helpless children on a Sunday
picnic1 Destruction turned loose
to strike where It would, without
thought or care for who might suf
fer and die.
We agree. 1
Why fight a war to win and then
apologize and try to buy the friend
ship of the conquered peoples?
It doesn't make sense.
to Ute desired level, a poison, which
causes ail llsh tn oUffocate, will be
mixed Into the water. Precautions
will he taken to prevent any of
this treated water from escaping
into the - outlet ana thus Into the
UmpquB.
Treatment will include all ot the
lake, plus those sections of tribu
tary streams, niursh areas, etc.,
which front thorough study are
known to co.lUIn trash fish.
The poison will lose lis potency
within about two weeks. It will take
considerably longer, however, lo
bring; the level of the lake back to
the point where it will overflow.
By the time water from the lake
ag.iln flows to the river, there
should be no danger to (ish life In
the stream.
RESTOCKING SCHEDULED
As soon as traces of poison have
disappeared, the game den-art-
mcnt will plant various types, of
aquatic life used for feed. Oppor
tunity will be uiven for tnese In
sects and marlns animals to mul
tiply beiore fish are reintroduced.
All hatcheries within reasonable
distance of the lase will be filled
to capacity with rainbow trout. In
Ihe spring of the year, these trout
will be transplants from haLhcr
ies nnd released In the lake. It is
probable that, fishing will bo pro
hlblted for one season while the
new population becomes estab
lished. Diamond lake was once lne
world's most important rainbow
trout egg-taking station. It w :i s
ruined when careless fishermen
dumped roach minnows Into Dia
mond lake. Tiie minnows were used
as live bait. Surplus bait left aher
a day's fishing was discarded
Within a comparatively few yers
he roach took over the lake. They
multiply much f.t'ter Ihn.i
They have exhausied the lake's
food supply so th.it capacity to
raise trout has been cnlicnllv cur
tailed. The lake, ho'v.-.er, st.ll has a
considerable trout pooulntlon.
Kalher than destroy all (lie tame
fisp, the commission will permit
harvesting as ninny of the truut
as nnglers can take In advance of
Ihe experiment. , tt Is anticipated
that hvy ansllng Intensity will
result In reducing ihe game fish
population unlit !o.';es when poison
ing occurs will be negligible.
I lies started the Mr. Alderson must
bo at f milt but now as time has
passed the truth Is starling lo come
out, aller he lias proven his point
i more than once. I .say he's a fine
American who's trying his best to
make Klamnth Palls a good plare
lo live nnd my heart felt thanks
Rues out In appreciation to him
for his stamina. We need more like
him.

Hal Boyle
NEW YORK lit) Every time a
child Is born two cowards are cre
ated. They are the parents.
Tnere is nothing like a baby to
funi a couple of normally coura
geous adults into a pair of timor
ous mice.
Some six months ago a five-week-old
lady called Tracy Ann
moved a crib Into our home and
adopted Prances and me. Coming
intn mil- Ihp ttflpr 1R phtlillo'
years of marriagu she brightened
up ihe place like a welcome candle
In a dark cave.
Our life was pleasant enough
before. But now It has a shining
luster and it is a wonderful feel
ing to come home and open the
door and be greeted oy a small
sunrise smile und a trill like a
moadowlark.
"Are you aire it won t trouble
you that the baby isn't your own
flesh and blood?'' a cautious friend
asked shortly afttr Tracy Ami de
cided to be our favorite Income
tax deduction
Trouble us? It Is ju.st the other
way around. Frankly It Is a relief.
"Baby we didn't bring yon into
the world" I feel like telling her.
"All we have is the chance to
make as nice & vorld for vou as
we can and if we fail you in that
then you got a real rignt to
holler."
When Tracy Ann had been in
our house a w-eek she already was
more than, our flesh and blood.
She was our blithe ui;int and she
becomes blither every day.
I have no hesitancy in advising
nny childless conole who can t-ct
a baby to adopt, them to go ind do
so at once end quit postponing
paradise. But paradise has a price.
Ordinary parentho.jd will turn the
bravest human beuvr into a craven
wretch; adopted parents ore doub
ly craven.
In four years of war reporting
r learned to condition myself so
that I wis afraid only when in
actual danger. A man who gets
the fear-sweats before he noes lo
the front or after he comes back
and Is out of peril won't Inst
through very many battlefields.
But raising a baby Is much more
terrifying than working on n bat
tlefield. On a battlefield you know
when to be scared when you can
relax. But in raising a' child you
live wllh a tight knot of terror at
the back of your brain day nnd
night. So many things can happen.
"Don't worry" the pediatrician
says. "Whatever you are doing for
this baby just keep right on doing
it. There is absolutely nothing
wrong wllh her."
I guess that Is what frightens
me. Everything has gone so ter
ribly well for Tracy Ann. Right
now she has two upper fangs and
two lower fangs busting out of her
deep pink gums nnd I must iidmlt
does look when she grins :i bit
like a cross between an old grand
ma and a young alligator.
Nobody can r,ay I ever claimed
she was the most beautiful cnlld in
the whole wide world; she Is mere
ly the loveliest baby In the world
sho has made for us a castle with
room just now for the three who
share it.
But she is as strong and healthy
pound for pound as a pcrcheron.
II the Notre Dame footb-ill team
ever goes co-educational I've pot
a promising candidate for riant
tackle. She eats three squares a
day like a harvest hand and she
sleeps 12 hours In a row every
nig'H
And happy? Tracy Aim Is so
nappy all dav Ions I'm secretly
afraid she either doesn't have good
sense or else she doesn't quite
realize yel she is Ining in the m:j
century.
She nas become so important lo
us Uia! we have come to feel that
maybe for this reason wo arc
more important ourselves, I have
taken out extra llle insurance anil
Frances and I don't Just look both
ways before crossing a street. We
look four ways.
I lift our little tomboy aloft in
my two hands remeinuertng the
strong feel ol my fallier'-i hands
as he did the same thing ui me so
many many years ago and tell
her.
"Taney there are moments
when I wish you oidn't love life
qulle so much, weren't so terribly
healthy, weren't always so good
and always so happy because I
am afraid now of how tinrd you
may be hurt later. But If I knew
of a single germ anywhere that
was pinning to get at you Id
shi.nt it with a shotgun"
Tracy Ann Just looks down with
her gap-gummed grin and Babble
"MH-nm-nia-m.i-tiu-nia-ma ! "
T.'lnl show shp ;i just crazv
mixed up kid. But it certainly
gives her old man a warm, moth
erly feeling.

The price culs haven't been gen

whole have held remarkable steady

ly topple when orders, work weeks

Price culs currently are largely

Wholesale commodity prices

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Joaquin MlPer has left a won
derful tribute of love for a moun
tain In his expression of devotion
to Mount Shasta, perhaps, and un
doubtedly there are people who may
believe that there are other moun
tains ot equal or even greater
grandeur, Joaquin speaks of other
grand mountains of the Cascades:
"i had lifted my hands to Mouut
Hood, uncovered my head, bowed
down and felt unutterable things,
loved, admired, adored with
the strength of an impulsive and
passionate young heart. But he who
loves and worships naturally and
freely, as all strong, true souls
must and will do, loves that which
is most magnificent and meet lov
able in his scope of vision. Hood
is a magnificent idol; Is sufficient,
if you do not see Shasta.
"A grander or a lovelier object
makes a shipwreck of a former
love. This is sadly so.
Jealousy Is born of an instinctive
knowledge of this truth . . .
"Hood Is rugged, kingly, majestic.
Immortal! But he Is only the head
and front of a, well-raised family.
He is not alone in his splendor.
Your admiration is divided and
weakened. Beyond the Columbia St.
Helen's flashes in the sun in sum
mer or is folded ill the clouds from
fthe sea in-winter-Qn. eithet hand
Jefferson and Washington divide
the attention; then farther away,
fair as a stud of fallen stars,
the white Three Sisters are grouped
together about the fountain springs
of the Willamette river all in
line all in one range of mountains,
as It were, mighty milestones along
the way of the clouds marble
pillars pointing the road to God.
"Mount Shasta has all the
sublimity, all the strength, majesty
and magnificence of Hood; yet is
so alone, unsupported, and solitary,
that you go down before him utter
ly, with an undivided adoration a
sympathy for his loneliness and a
devotion for his valour an ad;
miration that shall pass unchal
lenged." Such was the tribute that Millet
gave to the mountain from the in
spiration it gave him a hundred
years ago. much has taken place
about the mountain since his day,
man has descended upon it with a
ruthless hand and the "columns ot
dark plumed grenadiers" have
bowed to the avarice of the money

ical monsters pursue the "strong

the mountain leaving their ranks

Here In an area dedicated to
recreation the wreck of civilization
moves forward, any fir that will
yield a single sound log must

Today strange tilings are taking
place on the mountain, yet no one
raises a voice In protest for this is
the hallowed ground of private in
dustry, "free industry" 'free" to
do as it pleases without restric
tion. The dense forest of Miller's day,
a century ago is rapidly vanishing
to Join the other memories of the
mining camps. Tremendous patch
es of brush are all that remain to
mark the area once covered by the
great stands of pine which once
clothed the lower slopes of the
mountain. The rejuvenation of the
ancient forest areas will one day
be the task of those who have fol
lowed the exploiter and the cost of
restoration will be many times the
value received by those who
stripped the land of Its timber with
out thought of the future.
Joaquin writes of the men who
came to find gold in the camps;
"Giants were there, great men
were there.
"They were very strong, ener
getic and resolute, and hence neith
er gentle or sympathetic. They
were honorable, noble, brave and
generous, yet they would have
dragged a Trojan around the wall

It ... I say that the greatest, and
grandest body of men that have
ever been gathered together since
the seige of Troy, was once
here on the Pacific. I grant that
they were rough enough at times
I admit that they took peculler
delight in periodical six-shooter war
dances, these wild-bearded, hairy
breasted men, and that they did a
great deal of promiscuous killing
among each other, but they did it
in such a manly sort of wayl
