SUBSCRIPTION MAIL 1 month 1.35 t.bO $11.00 t months 1 year ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Occasionally an accident hap pens to this column in its printing in which a slug carrying a line ol type is lost from a paragraph and its absence may be noted by the fact the sentence from which the words were lost doesn't make sense, such accidents are the bane of any column, and, oh happy day I when the omission fails to disturb the continuity. At times, however, the lost words are very' apt to change the whole meaning of a sentence and the author holds his head In anguish. A few days ago, however, something hew was added a helping hand shoved this writer out into a pool ot deep water he had purposely refrained from div ing into, not because he had any fear of the plunge, only his source of reference material was not suf ficient to meet the occasion. Aften all, I greatly doubt if any one noticed the item that made mv eves bulge for this time it was not a lost slug, we merely gained one. I was telling Joaquin's account of the Battle of Castle Crass and In his narrative he stated that with Mountain Joe, he took possession of th ranch now known as Soda Scorings. To my dismay a helping hand had added "now the home of a religloua sect," without any qualifying punc tuation. My well lntentloned editor felt' that the term Soda springs was not a sufficient explanatory location of the site of Mountain Joe's Cabin and so to make the sentence a little more clear added the' - Innocent words that shoved me into deep water. There seems to be some controversy whether the ' Soda Springs mentioned by Joaquin were the Soda Springs that later becarrjel famous' .under the name Shasta Springs which In the last few years has become the home of a religious sect, or, another group of Soda Springs further idown the Sacramento River. , For mv own part I am incllnded to accept Shasta Springs as the lo cation, since Joaquin's narrative indicates that this is the place, however, the California Guide definitely places Mountain Joe at the site of Lower Sada Springs at the present Castle Crags station of the Souther Pacific. The editors of the .Guide had a much better reference collection to draw upon than do I, yet, I wonder at this variance in interpretation of Moun tain Joe's location. Such questions occur many tunes in our excursions into history, we have the evidence of a building existence but the place of Its exact location appears to be in contio versy. Often there is ah explana tion for the confusion for quite ire- Northwest History Highlights By DAN E- CLARK I Professor Emeritus of History, .. University of Oregon Today's Question: When and by whom was the Oregon territorial government put into operation? After 'the passage of the act es tablishing the territory of Oregon the next step was the appointment of a governor to put the new government into operation. Presi dent Polk's first choice for gov ernor of the territory of Oregon was General James Shields of Illinois, but the appointment was declined. The office was then offered to General Joseph Lane of Indiana and accepted. Joseph Lane was a native of North Carolina who, as a youth, migrated to Kentucky and then to Indiana. Here he became active in politics and was elected to the legislature. At the outbreak of the Mexican War he enlisted in an In diana regiment of volunteers, and he emerged from the war with the rank of general. Lane's commission as governor was carried to him at his Indiana home by Joseph L. Meek, who THE bOCTOR say: By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Everyone is agreed Ulat one of our greatest health problems is chronic Illness, Including those diseases which lead to abnormal change or behavior in some part of the body, and which last for a long time. Included among the chronic disorders are tuberculosis, mental disease, diabetes, asthma, the effects of polio or accident, and many other things. , Some of these chronic disor ders are more serious than oth ers. A person with hemorrhoids, for example, Is generally ham pered only slightly In occupation, whereas someone with severe rheumatoid arthritis may be completely disabled for a long period ol time. in ! vrnt. chronic Illness of .11 kinds Is most important. Three out of every four patients In hos pitals are there for tnis reasoi.-. and 60 per cent of all disability is accounted for by chronic illness. The time lost each year from productive activity because of chronic disease is believed to be more than a billion days, or the same as If nearly four million peo ple were unable to work for a full ''trie problem ef chronic Illness BUI. JENKINS Minuting Editor BATES - BX CARRIER 1 month 1-35 6 months t S.10 1 year . : $16.20 quently we discover two places being used by one Individual at different times In history and nat urally 'the 'same name would ap pear twice. Perhaps the Interval of time has been lost in trie local mind and so some old timers point to one location, while others point to another. Under the circumstanc es the arguments can wax long and feelings on both sides can be come rumed lor Dotn unknowingly were right. ' The Guide, therefore, undouoteu- ly has evidence to place Mountain Joe at Lower Soda Springs, even though Joaquin places the location at Soda Springs. Tnere is no con fusion in tiie matter of location In Joaquin's narrative because he very clearly makes the distinction Soda Springs and Lower Soda Springs. Perhaps Mountain Joe had a cabin at a later date at Lower Soda Springs. This Is the deep pool of conjecture into which my help ing hand has plunged me ano now that T have been committed to the deep water I will have to 'find thi answer Joaauln writes of Soda Springs in 1874 as being "today tne most famous summer resort in northern California." This very definitely sounds tike our present Shasta Springs, though Lower Soda Springs had a hotel for a number of years and also was a summer retreat. Joaauln writes ot me loca tion in another paragraph: "a band of hostile Indians living In and about the Devil's Castle, some 10 miles away on the opposite side of the 8acramento."' Such a. des criDtlve location very definitely eliminates the Lower Soda Spring location, though both springs are ,, gnasta gprings woum be on the opposite side ot ine sacra- some. 10 miles away while Lower Soda Springs are practically at the foot of the Crags. The California Guide speaks of a settlement at Lower soda Springs which Joaquin falls to mention; the Guide states the statement -was abandoned and the Indians burned it; this being the cause of th battle of the Crass: "In anger the miners left only after they had killed or driven away the fish and arame on Which the Indians uvea Modoc warriors swooped down on the little settlement and burned It in reprisal." ' - . - Joaquin definitely speaks of Low. er Soda Springs as being a dif ferent location from where he and Joe built their cabin, for when wounded in the battle of the Crags, he was carried down to the Sacra- the bank of the river. . . about a miles below the site of the present hotel on the Lower Soda Spring ranch." It Is one of these ques tions that adds the spice to history. had been appointed United States marshal for the territory. Togeth er the two men set out for Fort Leavenworth, where a military es cort of twenty-five men, with teamsters, servants and a surgeon matins: a party of about fifty men was waiting. The southern route was followed by way of Santa Fe and the Gila River to San Pedro. California. By this time all the escort except six men had de serted. A sailing vessel furnished them passage to San Francisco, then In the midst of the excitement of the gold rush. Another sailing vessel, the Janet, carried them to the Columbia Riv er; whence they proceeded by canoe ud that river and tne Wil lamette, reaching Oregon City on March 2, 1849. On the following day, March 3, Governor Lane Is sued a proclamation declaring the territorial government in operation lust one day before President Polk yielded the executive oflice to his Whig successor, Zachary Taylor. Lane ordered a census of the new territory. He also designated Ore gon City as the temporary seat of government. i Include, therefore, both the med ical and the economic aspects since a person of working age, severely disabled by chronic Illness, Is often unable to do much toward the support of himself, the family, and the community. Furthermore, a severe chronic Illness too often lends to the exhaustion of avail able funds, so that the continued care becomes an enormous burden on the family or the community. All this is fairly well known, but there are encouraging features also about this problem. For example, there Is now a commission on chronic illness established by the American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, the American Public Health Associa tion, and the American Public Welfare Association which is study- line this problem. I The advance of medicine Itself particularly in the detection and Improved treatment of many dis eases which formerly became chronic and disabling, has added to the Improvement of the situa tion. The Increased emphasis on what Is known as rehabilitation of the chronically ill that Is. fitting those who are partially disabled Into jobs for which they are suited Is also a step forward of the highest Importance.

BOX- S TP USE IT I JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (IP) Dr. Clarence E. Manion is a great talker. He seems to think, now that President Eisenhower has tired him, that he talked himself out of a job. He said recently that in the two years since he resigned as dean of the Notre Dame University Law School he has been in every state making speeches to so many busi ness groups "I have called the roll of American Industry." Last Sept. 4 Eisenhower picked the 57-year-old Manion as chair man of the Important Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. On Feb. 17 Manion announced the White House had sacked him. The White House gave no reason. Manion implied it was because he had made public speeches support ing the Bricker amendment on treaties, which Eisenhower op posed. The President said it would tin his hands in foreign affairs. Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio) proposed a constitutional amendment to limit the scope of treaties so they don't override powers reserved to the states And to give Congress power to regulate other inter national executive agreements. Manion is a crusader lor decen tralized government and more self-reliance on the part of the states. And in the field of foreign affairs he has strong convic(ns which may seem unique to Eisen hower in handling Communists. Although Russian and the Chi nese Communists, as disciples of Karl Marx, operate on the theory the United States and other capi talist countries are doomed, Man ion, in his 1950 book, "The Key to Peace," suggested: "Those in charge of our national defense must be made to realize that if the fascinating American story is made plain to our actual and potential enemies military opposition will liquidate itself in HAL Bv SAUL PETT (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK I Harold Vin cent Boyle, who regularly pre sides over this space, is off on a three-week vacation. He left on a Caribbean cruise with Frances and their seven-month-old daughter, Tracy. Now, those who know Boyle know how difficult it is to get him out of a room. Getting him out of the country is only a little less strenuous than dispatching the 1st Armored Division off to an inva sion. It's not that he's lazy not agile, energetic, elbow-swinging Boyle who everytlme he loses an ounce calls himself the "Tiger Man." Nor Is he afraid to make deci sions. It's just that Boyle has a special attitude toward decisions. The more he lets others make, the more food they'll have for their own ego and sense of usefulness. And so. on the morning they were leaving, I arrived at the Bnyle apartment. Three or four other friends, recruited to help In (he last minute arrangements, also were there. Baggage, cam eras, film, hats were scattered about the living room. Tracy gurgled In her play pen. Frances ran around efficiently collecting things, checking lists and baby clothes. And, in the midst of the inevi table confusion, Harold Vincent Boyle sat on the couch, enjoying a sublime serenity, grinning like an Irish Buddha. He. wondered what tie to wear to the boat. Frances ran off to shower. The rest of us started putting state room stickers on the baggage. "Of course, you kids realize," Bnyle announced, without moving, "this is no rehearsal. This Is the real thing. But then, If we miss the boat, we'll always have .enough for bridge." Somebody asked about the loose belt and sport shirt on the brown suit case. "That's mine," Boyle said "Why don't you put it some where?" "I'm waiting for Frances to tell me. I'm not going to rush Into making any mistakes, But Boyle did volunteer the help ful information that yesterday, while buying a suit, he met this fellow who sold him a new kind of toothbrush, something called an "orallzer" which . "cleans your teeth while It cleans your tongue.' it was getting somebody said late. "That's all right. Francle, Boyle yelled to the back bedroom. "Take your time. The ship's sail ing late. The captain forgot his keys." Getting through the door, Fran ces wondered aloud about what else she should take for the baby and father wondered aloud wheth er he should take along his high school diploma. It took two cabs to get up to the ship. Boyle, of course, didn't know which, pier, Frances, of course, the wild scramble to follow, the American example." In that same book, although much of It was devoted to praising the Founding Fathers for their extraordinary wisdom in putting the Constitution together, Manion showed some displeasure with the Constitution as it is. He not only urged changing it by adding on the Bricker amend ment but also another amendment which would limit the power of Congress to spend money. While Manion seemed to tnink his advocacy of the Bricker pro posal cost him his job, Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) said from what he had heard of Manion, "I'm afraid he was too conservative to be oi value to this administration." Other Republicans in the Senate bitterly criticized the firing and one member of the commission quit in protest. This was Rep. Noah Mason (R-Ill). The 25-man, commission was composed of five senators five representatives, some government agency heads, and distinguished citizens. In addition to speculation about his views, Manion has been criti cized for spending too much time speechmaking in general and not enough in the headquarters of his commission. The government hands over to the states yearly $2,800,000,000 in aid In 22 programs covering such fields as public health, highways, education, housing. The commis sion was supposed to find out where federal-state duplication could be avoided and some aid dropped. ' . Although the commission was supposed to finish its work by March 1, its last three members weren't sworn In until Nov. SO, hardly time for such a huge Job. It's going to ask for another year's time Before reporting. BOYLE did. And at the gnnirplank came the inevitable question: 'Who's got the tickets?" 'Not me." said Bovle as If he had just been accused of a capi tal offense. Frances, of course, produced the tickets while her husband apologetically directed the stewards with the biiKRnee. 'Most of this is trinkets to trade with the natives," he explained. Finally in their stateroom, Fran ces set about making the baby comfortable while the stewards unloaded bags. "Who brought this alonR?" Bovle asked, scowling at his portable typewriter.

First, they are used by VA as the basis for adjusting each vcter- an's subsistence for the current year 1954). And second, they are part of the veteran's course of instruction in farm accounting, thus giving him the chance to put into practic"e what he has learned in the class room.

Gordon, disaster spe cialist from the San Francisco of fice of the American Red Cross, presented a hypothetical situation that could occur locally and the Civil Defense and Red Cross vol unteers . present, endeavored - to work out the answers to the prob lems that would arise. Gordon asked the audience to as sume that a commercial gas stor age tank, located in a combined residential and small business area, explodes with terrific con cussion. . Collapse of adjacent buildings and shattered window glass result in ten fatalities, and many injured; some victims are trapped in Buildings. Twenty resi dential structures are wrecked and 50 people on sidewalks and in homes are injured. . Fire starts one block from the tank. Fanned by a brisk wind, several more homes are ignited and threaten a row of 12 houses. Within a few moments tremendous crowds swarm Into the area. Many per sons attempt disorganized -rescue efforts. Representatives of local govern ment, Civil Defense and Red Cross volunteers participated In. the question and answer session which followed. The institute opened at 10 a.m. Gordon provided Dackground in formation on disaster legislation from 1905 when the American Red Cross was granted a charter by the Congress which made disaster relief a legal responslblity of the organization. Civil Defense became active In disaster preparedness during World War II and in 1050 Congress created the Federal Civ il Defense Administration to pro vide a legal method for govern ment to extend Its obligations to meet disaster and obtain funds to oovcr disaster expenditures. Gordon delineated the Red Cross responslblity during disaster to Include provision of emergency food, clothing, shelter and supple mental medical aid, and rehabil itation to victims on the basis of need. Civil Defense, which repre sents government, is responsible for evacuation, warning, rescue, fire, police, etc. In the event of enemy attack, Red Cross continues in Its same responsibilities but only as a part of Civil Defense. The lunch was supplied by vol unteers of the American Legion Auxiliary and Bloodmoblle can teen workers. Within forty - five minutes the group was fed and ready to return to the afternoon session. Otto L. Smith, disaster chairman of the local Red Cross, was in charge of the meeting. Union Officials Freed By Jury ST.

It Is. the story, as told by men who saw It happening, of a brave man goaded to fury and gradually broken by bis Communist captors under a load of Abuse, pain, hu miliation and physical wretched ness. Frank H. Schwable, a flying Ma rine with a brilliant record of com bat experience. Is the central fig ure. He was a war prisoner in Korea 14 months. Midway in his captivity, he signed a false con fession he took part In germ war fare activities which, in fact, nev er were carried on. - The Reds made noisy propa ganda use of Schwable'a "confes sion." Now a four-member court of . Inquiry is trying to decide whether the 45-year-old schwable. a slender, alert man with thinning and graying hair, should face a court martial. Four, Marine enlisted men and one Army sergeant who caught glimpses of Schwable In FOW camps during his ordeal told their stories yesterday halting frag ments that added up to a harrow ing picture of what "brain-washing" does to a man. Some told of seeing Schwable In September and October, 1852 emaciated, unshaven, Jittery . but nonetheless defiant. He'd been thrown into solitary confinement, harassed by constant questioning. deprived of food. But his attitude toward his Red tormentors was; "Go to hell." Former Murine Corp. William N. Shockley of Denver, Colo., tes tified he heard those words ring out in a firm American voice on one occasion when a browbeating.

This Industry's plans to expand still further In 1954 are untouched so far, at least publicly, by reces sion talk, Industry spokesmen contend that profits in 1954 should be as good as in 1853, when an outsize major ity of companies registered gains, with an average Increase of 14 per cent. But the spokesmen are counting on more rate increases to make this forecast work out.
