ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
. Ever since the gold rush days of
our great region wnicn orougiu
into being the Ideal of the crea
tion of a great state of Jefferson,
people who have diligently
searched for gold, have been equal
ly diligent in their search for the
fabled Lost Cabin Mine. - In this
aeries of stories about Joaquin Mil
ler and Mountain Joe, I have men
tioned this famous lost mine. Tills
was the famous lost mine that led
the "Loudon-Hlllnian McMannu"
party of Jacksonville to follow a
party of Yrcka miners into the
headwatei's of the Rogue and Ump
qua Rivers in search of "fabulous"
treasure. The search was a failure
in finding the cabin, but a treasure
they did discover was Crater Lake
on June u, ism.
. This record of the famous cabin
Is important because it shows how
far back in the history of our re
gion, the legend of the Lost Cabiri
extends. It extends back into a per
iod that la contemporary with
Mouatain Joe, and if Joe Ooblonde
was as monumental a liar as his
tory likes to credit him as being,
who knows but what the legend
Stemmed from this fertile source
of imagination. The California
Guide credits Mountain Joe with
the creation of the story that
brought miners flocking to the Sac
ramento River in and about Mount
Shasta In the early fifties.
Joaquin Miller likewise cred
its Mountain Joe with the discovery
of the Lost Cabin Mine . and of
course, with child-like imagination,
the young Joaquin likewise must
participate in the discovery of the
fabled Lost Cabin, though he did
not come to our Shasta country
until after the story of the famous
mine had been well circulated.
- The . Joaquin story, without a
doubt, likewise has added glamour
to the story of the Lost Cabin, and
has become a part of the great
legend and a part of the story of
Castle Crags, though actually, Joa
quin places the location some dis
tance to the northeast of the Crags
at the headwaters of Soda Creek.
In this imaginative account of
Joaquin's participation In the dis
covery of the famous mine he is
in company with four of his Ideal
ized human charaoters. Faqulta,
. the Indian maid: Klamat, the In
dian boy; the prince and the doc
tor, I have' never been able to
place the doctor In this series ot
imaginative characters for some
reason he does nor seem to fit
unless it was, " the prince stood

waa a character on the threshold

NEW YORK Out of a clini
cal curiosity, I went to an
. "agony" television program re
cently nd everything went accord
ing to plan; I never felt worse.
The show was "Strike it rich,"
which gives away about $290,000
a year to people who tell their
troubles before the cameras. For
that kind of dough, you can buy
a lot of trouble
The audience Involved mostly
women and some servicemen who
aeemed to have wandered in out
of boredom. On the stage there
were many boxes of a wash deter
gent and paste-board hearts since
this is "the original show with a
heart" and the soap pays for the
heart.
A few minutes before alr-time. .
a cheerful, tall man came out and
introduced "the man with the real
ly big heart," who turned out to
be Walter Framer, the show's
producer. Framer, a short man
wilh heavy glasses and a nerv
ous, aet smile, Introduced Uie man
who had Introduced him.
Then Framer made a little
speech which I look to be an an
swer to recent criticism oi the
show on the grounds that It at
tracts needy people to New York
who end up on relief and that it
exhibits bad taste In. parading hu
man misery in public.
"We're not running a welfare
department," Framer said. "Just
a little quis gume. which is basi
cally for entertainment and also
some inspiration." ,
Framer concluded by telling us
he wasn't asking us to applaud but
he'd appreciate it if we did when
he raised his hands thus and so
and, besides, there would be prlz
es later for those who applauded
the most.
As the show got under way, Fra
mer was very busy, running
around checking camera angle,
watchUig the clock, Iradlng ap
plause and several times darling
backstage to announce "heartllne
calls," which presumably come
from people watching at home.
The first contestants were May
or Domlnlrk J. Dclucco of Hart
ford and Lionel Hampton, the band
leader. After a few questions, they
won $500 for a girl in Hartford,
'who is sick very sick Just
te prove how sick she Is. her
weight has gone from 143 to 13."
I also thought It was nice of

oi the bad in man. There Is little
doubt but that the prince was Joe
wbo have been another Individual
with whom Joaquin became assoc
iated during the formative years
of his imagination. j
This is Joaquiu'a description of
the Cabin and its location.
"Paquita showed us another
opening in the forest. This was a
wider valley, with warm sulphur
and soda springs in a great cres
cent around the upper rim. Here
the elk would come in winter, sne
said; and hence we would never
wunt for ineat. The earth ana at'
mosphere were kept warm here
from the eternal springs; and grass
she said, was fresh and grew the
winter through.
"This is the true source of the
stream which the white men call
Soda; the proper Indian name oT
which is Numkcn: and here we
built our cabin, reared a fortress
against the approaching winter
without delay, for every night his
sentries were coming down bolder
and bolder about the camp.
"This was the famous 'Lost Cab
in.' It stood on a hillside, a little
above the prairie, facing the sun,
close to the warm springs, and on
the very head of the Numken, and
was not unlike an- ordinary min
er's cabin, except that the fireplace
was in the center of the room- in
stead of being awkwardly placed
at one end, where but few can get
the benefit of the fire. - This de
parture was not without reason.
"in uie iirst place, ine. two In
dians, constituting nearly half of
the voting population ot our little
colony, insisted on it with a zeal
that was certainly commendable;
and as they . insisted on nothing
else, it was only Justice to listen
to them in this.
" 'By-and-by my people , will
come.' said Paquita, 'and then you
will want an Indian fire, a fire that
they can sit down by and around
without sending somebody back In
the cold.'
"Again, you cannot build a cabin
so strong with one end devoted to
a chimney, as if it Is one solid
square body of logs. Then, it is
no small task to build a chimney
out of stone with only your hands
for a trowel and black mud for
mortar.
"All these things considered, we
placed the fire in the center of
the cabin on the earth floor, and
let the smoke curl up and out
through an opening in the roof, as
it always does and always will, In
a graceful sort of way, if you
build a fire as an Indian builds It."

ton's next theater date will be at
the Apollo in Harlem.
After a singing commercial and
a plug for a movie magazine, a
gray-haired, nervous woman tried
to win $125 for a sewing mechme.
She said she's alone in the world,
she sews for a living and "they
took away my old machine. I'm
back in the rent and my lights
have been turned off."
Having difficulty with several
questions, the woman won only
$60. But at the last second. Fra
mer's "heart-line" voice announc
ed that "Strike it Rich" had Just
arranged with a certain company,
which he named, for her to get
a sewing machine free as well as
the $60 in cash.
"Ah, boy!" Hull sighed. 'That
was to the rescue all right."
Next came two young honey
mooncis who wanted to win mon
ey for a Korean orphan boy whom
the husband had once befriend
ed in Korea. "The boy." we were
told, "was hungry, cold, had In
sufficient clothing and his bones
were swollen."
The couple had trouble identi
fying composers and won only $20.
Hull thought thnt was too bad.
but never onp to miss a sliver
lining, he added: "That'll go a
long way In Korea."
The last guest was a public
health nurse who wanted to win
money for a hospital bed for her
patients but Just then the program
ran out of time. There were only
a few seconds left to announce
"heart-line" calls In behalf of the
sick girl In Hartford. These do
nations Included $50 from a meat
market, which was named.
Later. I went backstage where
prospective contestants were be
ing interviewed for future shows.
They Included a pregnant woman
and her husband, two women with
small children, two soldiers and
one young lady, somewhat dishev
elled in a long coat and saddle
shoes, who was crying quite vis
ibly: "I'm so nervous," she sob

month. I want a tractor for my
farm."

CAUGHT IN
By DEB ADDISON '
LAST WEEK was advertising
recognition week. The annual ob
servance was started four years
ago by the Advertising Association
of the West. It became national
this year under the sponsorship of
the Advertising Federation of Amer
ica. The objective of the week was
to interpret advertising's place and
part in our economy and life, to
show what it does In keeping buy
ers informed, in keeping business
moving, and in generally sparking
our economy. ...
Put Into a few words, as the
theme: Advertising benefits you it
benefits everyone. Here's how:
Advertising saves you money. Be
cause it sells on a mass scale, ad
vertising makes possible mass pro
duction, which means lower costs
to you. Advertising also tells you
where to find bargain buys.
Advertising Helps you live bet
ter. It Introduces yea to new pro
ducts you need. And because it
makes business more competitive.
advertising stimulates the develop
ment of many of these superior
products.
Aovertlsing creates jobs. The in
creased demand for goods that ad
vertising buildr and the mass pro-
auction mat results leads to mass
employment, faster promotions,
higher pay levels.
Advertising helps those who
serve you. It helps the farmer sell
his crops ... the manufacturer sell
his lactory output ... the mer
chant sell his wares the tech.
nlcian sell his skill. And because,
with advertising,' all these people
sell more, each can afford to sell
his goods or services to you for
less and still make a reasonable
profit. -Yet
for all It does, advertising
TELLING THE EDITOR
HIGfi CAMPAIGN COSTS i
Dear Sir: .
The current news story that the
Republicans are raising KM.OOO in
Oregon for the 1954 campaign and
that the Republican National Com
mittee has established a $3.B0O.ooo
budget presents serious questions
of public policy: (li Are good
citizens of modest financial re
sources being discouraged from
aspiring to high public office? and
12- Are key policies of govern
ment being controlled by campaign
contributors, rather than by the
people whom the office-holders are
elected to serve?
Control of political campaign ex
penses In the past has taken the
form of: 1 Limitation in the total
expenditure and In the amount of
an individual contribution, 2i Pro
hibition of certain types of expen
ses such as treating, (3) Require
ments for public report of contri
butions and expenditures either be
fore or after the election, or both,
and (4) Prohibition of contribu
tions from certain sources. It Is
generally admitted that Oregon's
Corrupt Practices Act should be
amended to require Identification of
all contributors and items of expen
diture, plus pre-election filing of
each candidate's financial report.
A further aspect is the propo
sal tint the government should pay
part or all of the expenditures of
political parties or their nominees.
In 1907, President Theodore Roo
sevelt proposed to Congress that
the Federal Government provide
funds for "the proper and legiti
mate expenses of each of the great
nutional parties". A 1909 Colorado
law (Chapter 141 1 provided that
only the state and the candidates
should pay the expenses of elect
ing stste, district and county offi
cers at general elections, each po
litical, party receiving from the
state 35 cents for every vote cast
for Governor by that party in the
preceding election, the state party
chairman distributing one-half of
the money to the counlv nartv
chairmen. Assembly Bill No. 1733"
in tne itioa California Legislature
provided for the payment of 35
cents to the county chairmen of
each party for each person regis
tcred as a voter, the moncv so re
ceived to be expanded only for
campaign expenses of party nomi
nees. Both the law and the bill
required the filing of detailed re
ports with the state after the elec
tion. The situation In Oregon Is particu
larly serious because of the great

costs little. To advertise bin-name-
gasoline takes less than 1-5 of a
cent per gallon. To advertise well
known brands of bread costs less
per loaf than the wrapper. To ad
vertise .America's leading cereals
costs less than 3-10 of a cent a
package. .
If any other form of selling were
cheaper or more efficient, no one
would advertise.
We said that advertising intro
duces you to new products. A pres
ent example is the new insulated
rubber footwear that was developed
tor tne military for below-zero con-
ditlons in the polar regions and
that has been put on the civilian
market within the last year.
mis example is used because
t's a dramatic one and because
it has Just been called to our at

that discrimination and Judgement

ment.
It's still up to the discrimination

you want the best, made of the

rubber footwear material.
One of the important things
about advertising to you, the buyer,
is the matter of choice. Ameri

tising, have a more complete free

and Democratic campaign funds. In
tne 1Bo2 election In Orezon. the
Republicans out-spent the Demo

the necessary finances are given to

One remedy always available to
the people Is to vote against the

WASHINGTON WW If George
Washington could hear his Fare
well Address read hi Congress to
day, would he nuke any changes
in the advice he gave the nation
to 1796?
It was odvice which the nation
has always honored but hasn't al
ways followed.
Washington might rcviie . his
thinking about political parties,
about which he had deep misgiv
ings. "There is on opinion," he said,
"that parties in free countries arc
useful checks upon the adminis
tration of government and serve to
keep alive the spirit of liberty."
He said he thought this was
probably true "within certain lim
its" and he mentioned monarchies
as an example, but he added that
In a government like this party
spirit "is a spirit not to be en
couraged." At the time he wrote there was
only one party, the Federalists,
led by Alexander Hamilton and
representing the monied and com
mercial Interests of the East. It
wasn't long afterwards that the
Republicans, under Thomas Jeffer
son, rose up. smashed Uie Federal
ists, and set the two-party system
In motion. These Republicans were
the forerunner of the present Dem
ocratic p.trty.
It was the rise of political par
lies which, by keeping any class
or faction from controlling too
long, probably was the main force
in preserving the democratic
American society which Washing
ton wanted preserved.
Washington's advice to this coun
try to atay out of entangling foreign
alliances made his Farewell Ad
dress a hymn book for American
Isolationists. And for more thun
100 years his advice was followed.
"Europe," he said, "has a set of
primary interests which to us have
none or a very remote relation.
Hence she must be engaged in fre
quent controversies, the causes of
which are essentially foreign to our
concern."
But he didn't lay down isolation
Ism as a blanket rule. He foresaw
the time when this country might
have to make alliances:
"Taking care always to keep
ourselves by suitable establish
ments on a respectable deicnsivc
posture, we may safely trust to
temporary alliances for extraordi
nary emergencies."
What Is an extraordinary emer
gency? This country thought it saw
one in World Wais I and II, when
It made alliances, and after World
War II when it Joined the Atlantic
Pact with Western Europe against
Russia, although it might be ar
gued the Atlantic Pact is hardly
temporary.
But Washington's advice was dis
regarded when this country Joined
the United Nations after World
War II to try to preserve peace
and stop aggression anywhere on
earth.
And what would Washington
think of Secretary of State Dulles'
notice that the Communists would
be paid back with massive retalia
tion if they attacked anywhere?
There is nothing isolationist in
that.
But when Washington wrote his
Farewell Address the threat of
world communism wasn't even a
gleam in the eye of any Russian
or Chinese alive then. If Washing'
ton were alive now he might con
sider it necessary as Presidents
Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhow
er did to have foreign allies.
Maybe he wouldn't. And, since
history isn't all written yet, maybe
he was ngnt an tne time.

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN r. JORDAN, H. D.
Th recovery rate from cancer
of the breast, when discovered
early and promptly treated proper
ly, is encouragingly- high. Rather
rare in women before the age ot 35,
cancer of the breast increases in
frequency as the years go by.
It is now believed that women
should be taught to examine their
own breasts, and if anything ab
normal Is found, to seek profes
sional assistance at once. The more
often this is done, the more rapid
ly will real progress be made to
ward the control of this form of
cancer.
The symptoms are Important
because they lead to that early
diagnosis which is so important.
A lump in the breast calls for im
mediate investigation. Some people
mistakc-y believe that cancer of
the breast cannot be present unless
the nipples are pulled in or actually
inverted. True, this may be a symp
tom, although generally a late one.
More important Is a flattening of
some portion of the breast. Any
change in the shape of the breast
which has not been present before
is suspicious. Also, any. discharge
or secretion from the nipple should
be casue for prompt study.
Pain, burning and other sensations
are rare In the early stages of can
cer, i . . ,
Once a lump or suspicious area ot
the breast has been found, proper
treatment Involves prompt surgery
with the removal of some ot the
tlussue from the lump and its ex
amination under the microscope.
Tms tissue can be frozen.
stained, and examined almost at
once -sojhat if cancer cells are
found, the entire tumor and sur
rounding breast tissue can be re
moved without further delay. The
longer the cancer has been pres
ent, the more danger there is that
it will recur.
The most important thing to
remember is that any change in
the appearance of the breast should
be promptly recognized and expert
opinion sought at once. Those who
delay treatment because of fear
that cancer may be found are ex
tremely short-sighted because it Is
with early stages that comolete
cure is possible. In this form of
cancer in particular a little more
knowledge and prompt action can
prevent tragedy.

NEW YORK IJI Business for
some time now has been going
one way and the stock market the
other.
Stock traders and businessmen
and perhaps a puzzled public
can spend tneir market holiday
wondering who Is right:
1. The businessman who has
been drawing in his horns to be
ready for a possible severe slump:
3. The consumer who has been
going along in the main buying
goods he wants just about as if
nothing were happening;
. 3. The stock trader who seems
to be betting that business will
shortly turn the corner and march
back up the sunny side of the
street.

eyebrow at the stock market's

AA Explains
Never Cured
Case Shows
(Editor's Note This Is Uie eighth
in a series of articles dealing with
the disease of alcoholism and what
Alcoholics Anonymous is doing to
combat it.)
By LVLE DOWNING
In this land of Uie free and
home of Uie brave where you can
even call Uie highest government
official a so-and-so ana get away
with it, it Is pretty hard for any
one to admit being powerless over
anything.
But the case histories of moru
than 150,000 alcoholics show thut
this was what they ail had to do
to recover from America's No. 4
malady. The First Step in Alco
holics Anonymous states:
"We admitted we were powerless
over alcohol that bur lives had
become unmanageable."
It Is untortunate that thousands
who returned to permanent sobri
ety after - years, of uncontrolled
drinking were unable to take the
First step in AA in any other but
the "hard way." "
NKVER CURED
A vast majority of Uie recovered
alcoholics who can never uh
"cured" but only ' have their
affliction arrested, had to hit bot
tom before they took Uie' First
Step. Many of these suffered loss
of all their worldly possessions,
alienation of friends and loved ones
and were even on the brink of Uie
Insane1 asylum or death before they
were willing to admit that John
Barleycorn had. them licked.
Today we propose to give Uie
highlights of the case history of
Joe E from the files of AA and
show how he approached the
First Step the "hard way."
joe , started out as a compe
tent newspaperman with migratory
instincts. He worked all over Uie
country and for years had little
trouble getting jobs. Like most
newspaper writers, he had the
"Great American Novel" In mind
as his ultimate goal.
for 15 years, Joe E was known
as a guy who could ' handle his
liquor and usually was the life of
tne party. He could drink most of
the night and go to work Uie next
day without too much trouble on a
couple of cups of coffee and a glass
oi tomato juice.
REALLY SAILING '
Joe E had drank through two or
three years of prohibition and was
reany sailing during the first few
years after repeal. During World
War U, when the stuff was hard
to buy Joe E drank anything he
could get. It was In that period
that the crossed the Invisible bor
derline between social and compul.
.'iive nrinxing. joe E started wak
ing dp in the morning with the
shakes. The coffee and tomato
Juice wouldn't snap him out of it
anymore. So he began taking a
couple of healfny slugs of whisky
as soon as he got out of bed.
Shortly afterward the shakes be
gan appearing In mid-morning and
mid aternoon. A couple of "dou
bles" would make them disappear
temporarily.
At this point Joe E was on late
alcoholic mainline and there were
thousands traveling with him, Joe
E wa3 no longer Uie life of the
party and the once senlal bartend

By this time Joe E had lost half
a dozen jobs and was drinking al
most continually. Finally one night
he wound up in a third rate hotel
room wnn tnree fifths of cheap
blended whisky on the dresser and
a half-filled bottle on the night
stand. He had pawned his last pos
sesion a typewriter. Joe E was
in bed propped up on a couple of
pillows. He was holding a water
glass half-filled with whisky.
SOME 'OLD ANCIENT'
Strange thoughts began coursinir
through Joe E's mind. He wished
he had some Old Ancient Instead
of the cheap liquor at hand. Old
Aneient was real government-sun-
ervlsed bottled In bond whisky.
Joe E pictured a distillery in Ken
tucky that has been making whisky
since 1(60. The big liquor plant
was surrounded by blue-clad O-
men all holding machine guns. Not
a drop of Old Ancient was going
though the recent flood of good
earnings reports for 1953 have
buoyed sentiment in Wall Street.
The profit reports seem to show
corporations In a healthy position
for withstanding a business dip.
They also seem to show that cor
poration managements are in posi
tion to be liberal in handing out
dividends.
