About the only thing one can find to be cheerful over concern ing the staggering frost Uiat has partially blanketed the Basin the past lew nignts is uiat in uie long run we're better off to have it now Instead of catching It at a later date. It would have more scope then because of more crops to blacken. But I suppose we'll pull out of it somehow. At least we can i oe any worse off than the cherry growers over in the valley. See where Industry got a pat on the back for their part in shutting down operations for a short Willie on the Willamette in order that more water could go over the falls and thus aid the fish in their journey up and down the river. A splendid example of coopera tion, no doubt, but not a com. fortable thought when we stop to consider the over-all picture. Why should it be necessary for Industry to shut down? Wh& weren't proper fish ladders and flumes put in In the first place? Seems to us that it is cheaper to do a job right the first time instead of having to go back and do it all over again later. It is high time the public sat up and took notice of what is gbing on In this battle for more power. And high time that adequate pro visions were made to see to It that In any dam in the future, be It a federal high tax dam or a pri vate company's enterprise, that fish ladders are installed and every possible measure carried out to preserve our last diminishing outdoors. , We have been keeping a close eye peeled this spring for the usual sign of summer's approach la the Basin the ring of axes on wood as the cltlsenry pours outdoors to cut down that menace to man's health and safety, the tree.' I suppose maybe you could call It an inherited trait handed down from our forefathers, this love of an axe and the desire to cut down anything that grows ov-.-r live feet tall. ' But we're a little more inclined to call It out and out ttupmity on the part of some narrow minded people who leap before Uiey look. I doubt If it costs any more to put in iron sewer pipes than It does to cut down, saw up and haul olf the trees whose toots are busting up the old concrete pipe If there is anythtnx that will add to the beauty of the town it is trees. More than any other one item, green trees add to the beauty, to uie iiveaDuuy ana to uie com fort of a country. Let's give it some pretty careful thought 'before we rush out with grandpa ppy's old blade and have at that tree in the front yard. There are encouraging signs that maybe we'll have less cutting in the future. We hope so, anyway. Today is the anmvrsary of the day back in 1875 when Bell In vented the telephone. And we've been stuck with It ever since. More often than not when you ask a man what he enjoys most about getting his vacation he'll tell you "getting away from the phone." I suppose it has added a good deal to the material comforts of modem times, but It has also placed a burden on our shoulders that gets pretty neavy sometimes. Oh well. Just like a head cold. When you've got It all you can do Is live with it. They'll Do It Every lmcgffi' 1 Sootobo Tailors. Inc.- UMBOasM AT rMMPtWKXUST. 4 i JUJM95 Yjut failure to acknowledge Scstanding balance hasWemisny.

Letter From Yashington ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Telling The Editor By HARRIS fcLLSWOBTH, M. C. 4th DISTRICT, OREGON late at night one of the television stations here in Washington broad casts film highlights on the day's proceedings in the so-called Army' McCarthy hearings. We have been , staying up to cvatch this film pres entation which runs about half an . hour, I thought In that way as a part-of the great American "jury- I might be able to find out what It Is an about or at least why tne argument is considered so impor tant as to warrant all of the publi city being given it. It is a lively and Interesting TV program so I keep on losing sleep watching it but I've about decided that I shall nev er find out why some people think It is important. The plot of the show seems to tie that one of the staff members of the McCarthy committee ' was drafted. He became an ordinary private in the Army. Some of the committee staff members he worked with in civilian life and perhaps the committee chairman thought he was made of better stuff and that his qualities should be recognized by advancement and more favorable placement in the Army. The Army heads, reasonably enough, thought otherwise and pro ceeded and continued to treat the young draftee Just as all other draf tees are treated. There ensued then numerous tele phone calls and conversations in which the private's friends, asked, Urged, insisted and demanded a better deal for him. The Army, true to its best tradition, did not yield an inch. That is the way it should be. If such "pressures" were to suceed we could not ex pect to have a good army. Dp to that point the whole situ ation seems to be both normal and reasonable. I expect high or low Army officers have countless times received requests or even de mands to show favoritism in the ranks, and have denied such requests. Then tne story becomes confused normal pattern. Top Army person nel took umbrage at the efforrts of the new draftee's friends and of all things filed a long list of for mal "charges" asserting that threats and attempts to Intimidate them had been made. As might be expected, the private's friends made answer including some "counter-charges" and the fight was on. Maybe there is more to It than related above but that is what I've seen on the late evening TV show. A directory telling "who buys! what and where in the federal gov ernment" has been published by the small Business Administration, I have lust been advised by SBA Administrator Wendell B. Barnes. In addition to listing approximat ely 4.000 items and classes of items covering the more than 5,000,000 products and services purchased by the federal government, the di rectory explains government pur chasing methods aad tells how small plants can obtain listing on agency bidders' lists. Various forms of assistance offered small firms by the SBA are explained in the publication, and suggestions are made of ways in which small firms can locate subcontracting opportun ities. ' The 82-page booklet is not avail able for free distribution. Copies may -be purchased for 50 cents each, from the superintendent oi documents. Government Printing Office. Washington 25, D.c. wnue the Small Business Administra tion's field offices are not author ized to sell government documents, each of these field offices has been supplied with other forms helpful to businessmen in ordering copies of the "U.S. Government Purchas ing Directory." Another publication is In prepa ration by SBA, but no Indication has been given when it will be completed. This document, "U.S. Government Specifications Dlrec- One of the unfortunate circum stances surrounding the history of the Modoc War Is that the narra tive of a large number of the par ticipants have never been published or have been spread obscurely through various newspapers. Much of the story is contained in corres pondence In the files of the federal government. Bancroft makes reference to much of this material and so the search for factual data has been aided con siderably since be tells us the ma terial was in existence and avail able to him in 1887-88. A lot of materia, however, has been pub lished since Bancroft which contain additional facts on the Modoc story. One of the pamphlets, Bancroft refers to. is T. B. Cdeneals "Mo doc War; Statement of its Origin and Causes etc:" Published in Port land in 1873 and was prepared by request of H. W. Scott, C. P. Cran- dall, B. Goldsmith, and Alex P. Ankeny. of Portland. This is a pub lication mis writer looks forward to readmg. I can understand Ode neal's desire to defend his actions but just why Is this quartet of names likewise interested? Baa croft stales that the publication is "to correct erroneous impres sions occasioned by irresponsible statements." this would imply that they, likewise, are on the defen sive. But let us return to the actors in our drama. It had been definitely settled that Jack's band would be placed on the reservation and the action take place some time before winter, the latter part of Septem ber 1872, bad been the selected period. Odeneal, however, did not get to the Klamath Agency to super vise the task of removing Jack from his Lost River home until the 25th of November. The first step Odeneal takes in carrying out his instructions was to send a special messenger, James Brown of Sa lem, and Ivan Applegate, to Jack's Lost River camp to invite Jack's people to meet Odeneal at LinkvlUe, and to promise them the kindest treatment if they would consent to go to Yalnix, where ample provisions had been made for their support. If they would not consent he required them to meet him at Llnkvtlle on the 27th for a final understanding. The local military authorities had received instructions from the War Department to assist in carrying out the Instructions of tne com missioner of Indian affairs by com pelling, if necessary, the obedience of the Modocs to recognize author ity. The military authorities had signified their readiness to perform this duty. The military had a con siderable amount of shifting of Its personel during this year as did the Indian Department. Captain Jackson, along the early part of the year had been superseded In the command of Fort Klamath by Major G. G. Hunt, who In turn tlons across the country where businessmen may consult files of government specifications and standards. was relieved by Major John Green on July 17. Major Otis had been relieved of the command of Uie District of the Lakes by Colonel Frank Wheaton on the 21st of July, So our curiam rises with a new cast of authorities when the events of November 187 are to be en acted. On the 27th of November, Super intendent Odeneal, and Agent Dyar traveled irom tne Klamath Agen cy to Linkvllle to meet the Modocs, according to Odcneal's directive but at Lmiville they found no Modocs only Brown and Applegate who told them that Jack rcluscd to go upon ine reservation was well ns re fused to meet Odenenl at Linkvllle. "Say to the superintendent," Jack told Odcneal's emissaries, "that we do not wish to see him or talk with him. We don't want any white man to tell us what to do. Our friends and counsellors are men In Yreka, California. They tell us to stay where we are, and we Intend to do it. and will not v.o on the reservation. I am tired of being talked to. 'and am done talking." uancrou makes tne statement that. "One of Jack's lieutenants, commonly known as Scarfacc Char ley, Irom a disfigurement, would have taken the lives of the mes sengers on the spot, but was re strained by Jsck, who preferred waiting until the superintendent was In his power." This was tak en from Agent Dyars narrative. wnen odeneal teamed that his directive bad been so summarily rejected he was assured that noth ing short-o an armed lorce could bring the Modocs to submission. Odcneal's next course of action was to send word to Colonel Green at Fort Klamath that military aid would be required in order to ar rest Captain Jack, Black Jim, and Scarface Charley, who should be held subject to his orders. Odeneal, In his letter to Green. said: "I transfer the whole mat ter to your department, without assuming to dictate the course you shall pursue tn executing the order. Thus was to be enacted the next step In the execution of the Indian commissioner's order from Wash ington to move Captain Jack." peaceably If you can, forcibly If you must."

In an old Irish legend, a young warrior rode forth on bis spangled war horse seeking high adventure. Shortly a leprechaun rose In the path before htm and offered bat tle. In good humor, the youth laughed at the tiny sprite and re sumed his Journey. Later, the tame leprechaun suddenly rose belore him and again challenged him to battle. Curiously the little fellow had now grown to half the site of a man. The youth spoke haughtily,. it is small nonor to conquer such a puny fellow, as you." and again he rode past aad resumed his jour ney. Many leagues later there again rose before him the same implacable figure, but now It had grown to a great giant filling the roadway and towering over the youth even as he sat his horse. The giant thundered In a great voice. 'come with me." "Wh-wh-wh-wh-who are you." quavered the youth? ... "I am habit," bellowed the giant. "You had your chance to Slav me but did not; - now you are my slave. Ho. ho, ho. ho. hoi" The Reds can hardly be called a habit yet. but they operate In much the same fashion. If a boat. load were released on some desert Island, you may be sure they would fan out In every direction, and pro ceed to hammer the minds and bodies of the natives Into their own lmoge. For thirty years, pressure groups of every hue and flavor from chau vinism to subversion have vltually compelled an appeasement, tread lightly policy that has hamstrung every administration. It is all but assured that If the arms shin gets through to the Reds in Guatemala, no decisive steps will be taken to uphold the Monroe Doctrine. It was forged in a day when can dor meant candor and common sense walked In dignity and honor, but in this day the accepted pat tern Is merely to flaunt policies and resolves before the world, with few rousing shibboleths to Im plement them. The catch is that when some crude, pagan unbeliever fails to honor them, the sham Is quickly exposed. The Issue Is too long to complete here, but let us at least be sure of what It Is and this seems to be the crux of It: Is it more dangerous or less dangerous to stamp out the HAL BOYLE NEW YORK 11 An open let ler t Mr. Joseph College, class of 1954, U.S.A.; Dear Joe, Leaving tile Ivory tower this year, you come Into a world that has lost the ivy of the past, A vast and visible vista lies be fore you that holds a greater peace or a deeper agony than mankind haa ever laced belore.

M.D. A good many successful and prominent people were born wlUi a split upper Up or a gap in the structure at the roof of the mouth The lornier condition Is called harelip and the latter cleft palate. The two often occur together. The fact that so many have achieved success tn life In spite of one or both of these defects proves, however, Uiat such handi caps need not stand In the way ot a lull and aattsfactory life.' These conditions fall In Uie group of what are called congenital de lects, A person Is born with them and Uie cause Uierefora haa been operating before birth. It seems likely Uiat they are Uie result of some Influence existing before oirm rather than being truly hered itary disorders. The studies which show that Ger man measles In Uie mother during the first three months of pregnancv predtsposes to congenital delects throw some light on how this kind of thing could work. It Is naturally a shock to the parents to have a child bom with harelip or cleft palate. But the parents should not be too discour aged. Surgory can help enormous ly, not only In the appearance, but also in forestalling Uie speech dlf llcultles which aru such a serious part of Uie condition. The nature of Uie operaUon need ed should be planned early. Some prefer to operate while the child quite young, as thla may avoid some of Uie speech and other diffi culties which would be encountered by postponing treatment. Others favor surgery at about four years old. Either way there are questions of postoperative care: speech training and dental adjusUnenta to mention Uie two which are probably most Impor tant. From the standpoint of appear ance as well aa that Af Mph ih. best possible correction of harelip or clell palate Is Important. Chil dren are even more sensitive about how they look thin grownups, and a sensitive child with a "different" looking face can develop all sorts oi complexes, especially excessive shyness. It Is wise therefore to make Uie Up look as normal as possible earlv In life; also, the parents should be aware of Uie psychological diffi culties faced by Uie child. The youngster should be helped to meet any thoughtless or cruel remarks of playfellows. Overpro- tection on Uie part ot Uie parents con be as hsrmful as neglect! EXAMS SALEM W U. S. Ren.
