Bird watchers now have some
thing else to talk about. The picture
at the head of this .column shows
mallard hen's nest perched in a
lodgepole pine Just over 12 feet
from the ground.
Scene of this strange nesting in
stinct was the Fred Pope ranch up
at Port Klamath, out in a thicket
in the west pasture where an irri
gation ditch flows serenely along
at the base of the tree. .
Fred and his son. Steve, dis
covered the nest one evening when
they were riding back to the ranch
and flushed the ben oft the nest
as they rode by. Investigation
showed a cleverl constructed nest
of twigs and small branches had
' been built by the industrious hen,
' filled with feathers for a lining and
with a stout-canopy of twigs over
head to protect her from prowling
- hawks, i
The old drake has also been
noticed doing patrol duty in the
ditch. When started from the nest
' the hen, and occasionally the
drake, take refuge in a nearly dry
pot bole further out in the pasture.
According to Steve, who is the
naturalist of the outfit, this same
hen has lost at least three nests
along the ditch to wandering steers,
-falling trees 'and mowing ma
chines. Seems like she Just got
tired of being loused up all the
time and decided to do something
about it.
Maybe it ain't new, but this is
the first tune we have ever seen a
mallard nest high off the ground,
ground.
While the plcutre here doesn't
show a great deal, there are rea
sons. I suppose that if we could
have had a picture of Fred and
myself getting this shot it would
have been more satisfactory from
a readership point.
We took a six foot garden ladder

Bright planets, three of them and
in a short line, are now appear
ing on the celestial screen in the
west shortly after sunset. These,
in order from the highest, sre
Venus. Mercury, and Jupiter. The
line slants downward strongly to
the right.
Since Jupiter, tho lowest and sec
ond in brightness, now sets only
about an hour after sunset, we
must look for these sky Jewels as
soon as the west is darkening. Ven
us, the highest and brightest, likely
can be spotted almost as soon as
old Sol has dipped below the sky
line, it tnen is about due west, but
will swing northward as It follows
the others toward the setting point.
All will finally disappear lar over
toward the northwest.
Mercury lacks the brilliance of
uie otner two, but If it were high
in a dark 6ky would appear as
a very "bright star. The best view
of these planets will be obtained by
those who have a clear and level
horizon.
The brightest stars Castor and
Pollux, the Twins, are near this
planetary line. Orange Pollux is
almost directly above Venus while
Castor stands a little north of his
twin.
An hour after sunset, yellow, un
twinkling Saturn is well up in the
south. A little west of Saturn and
at the same height, faithful 8pica,
a real star, twinkles. About this
same time red Mars is rising in
the southeast. This old god ot war
Is now very bright but will be con
siderably more luminous by the
end of the month when he will be
nearer the earth.
While out planet gating an hour
after sunet, let us locate other
bright stars not yet mentioned.

mocks under the tree, and then
with Fred steadying it I clambered
up to a precarious perch atop the
tiny platform on top and tried to
focus a camera. AU the time with
a wind blowing, several nosy steers
whuffling and grunting around and
being- curious and Fred trying to
steady the ladder.
Oad. what heroics. And not even
a tumble to brag about.
Might add that if anyone doubts
the authenticity of this picture I'll
vouch for it. Saw the hen sitting
on the nest and watched her fly
oft before I could get the camera
lined up for a quick snot. Going
up again this week with a color out
fit and try and get some shots of
her on the nest.
Then all we'll have to do Is sit
around and wait for the eggs to
hatch.
There'll be little ranch work done
around the Pope place until they
are, either. But watching for an
event like that beats working or
sitting in an office all hollow.
Congratulations to the Fremont
Civics cjass and their contribution
to The Basin Speaks. After all, it's
the younger generation who are go
ing to run the destinies of this coun
try and it Is highly encouraging to
see the interest that is being evi
denced by this group.
And their suggestions are sound.
We would insert our personal ob
servation here that it would be al
most as great a task to change
the name of Hogback as it would
to come up with a sure plan for
world peace. But it's a step in the
right direction, and their further
suggestions are certainly well
founded, well thought-out and well
mtentioned.
It restores our faith in the young
er generation. And we're still in a
class where we are considered the
"younger" generation ourselves.

of the Sickle. The blade of this
sickle, made up of dim stars, ex

downward. Far over toward the
north-northwest, yellow Capella
twinkles near the horizon.
Turning to the eastern half of
the sky, we find some Interesting
stars. Quite high In the east-northeast,
bright Vega, the Jewel in the
Harp of Orpheus, scintillates with
Its white light. Lower than Vega
and considerably to the left, the
somewhat dimmer Deneb holds its

now lying on Its side with its foot
extending toward the right. Low in

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD .
' From a purely military angle we
can see why both General Crook
and General Canby had issued or
ders that at least SO men be sen:
in any move made against Cap
tain Jack's Lost River Camp. This
Indian camp was situated on both
sides of the river and any punitive
force would have to divide Itself
into two units so as to attack the
camp on both sides the river at
the same time. Without the prom
ised aid of assistance from the
settlers. Colonel Oreen could not
have successfully moved against
the camp with a small force of 38
men as his force would have had
to be divided into two small groups
either of which would have been
outnumbered the superior forces
ot the Indians in either camp.
Colonel Oreen understood the sit
uation' thoroughly and would not
have dared move to arrest Captain
Jack and his well armed group
with Just 16 men, and, without sur
rounding the camp on both sides of
the river the chance of success
would have been very small In
deed. Therefore, the only conclu
sion one can draw from the situa
tion is that Applegate, besides car
rying the order from Odeneal to
Colonel Oreen to take action
against the Modoc chief must have
carried the additional information
that the settlers were forming a
party to support his action.
Odeneal and everybody In the
country knew how many men
would be available from Fort
Klamath, they also knew of Oen
eral Canby's instructions because
the military had undoubtedly used
his order In pointing to the fact
that the fort was not sufficiently
manned to make any move against
Jack, when the settlers made de
mands that Jack be removed to
the reservation.
Since Applegate had conferred
with Jack in regard to Odeneal's
directives he was aware of the
strength of Captain Jack and the
disposition of his band and I am
confident would not have advised
Oreen to divide his force and at
tack Jack's Camp from both sides
the river with an Inadequate force.
After all we must remember that
Ivan Applegate was to act as
guide and interpreter and would
by position be in the spot where
the bullets were thickest. He was
no foolhardy individual and be
knew the temper as well as the
ability of each of Captain Jack's
warriors. Bancroft has stated that
Applegate advised Colonel Oreen
that the Modocs would not resist
a show of force and If we accept
the generally told version of the
affair, the Indians did not offer any
resistance as Applegate predicted.
Bancroft and all other writers,
however, apparently avoided men
tioning something else that Apple
gate must have told the army com
mander and that would be any
warning about overzealous con
duct. I greatly doubt that Apple
gate was such an optimist, as Ban
croft's account might lead one to
believe, to the point that if he did
advise Oreen the Indians would
offer no resistance he could not
have neglected the other.
The Modoc Camp was divided
by Lost River according to Mea
cham; "Captain Jack and fourteen
men with their families, occupy
ing the west bank, where the land
slopes gradually down to the wa
ter's edge; the background being
covered with a growth of sage
brush. With Captain Jack was
"Bchonchln John" so named as
being the younger brother of the
old Chief Schonchln; "Scar-face
Charley", so named on account of
a scar on his face; "Black Jim,"
so named on account of his dark
color; "One-eyed Mose," so called
on account of s .delect in one eye;
"Watchman," an Indian who was
killed in the first battle; "Humpty
Joe," "Big Ike," "Old Tails,"
"Old Tails' Boy," "Old Longface"
and four others.
"On the east side of the river
was the "Curly-balred Doctor,' the
Indian medicine man; "Boston
Charley," named on account of his
light color; , "Hooker Jim," who
got his name because he had lived
with old man Hooker; "Slolax,"
and ten others, men with their
families."
Bancroft writes; "The superin
tendent (Odeneal) met Jackson en
the road about one o'clock on the
Zemo, a doctor's antlteptie,
promptly relieves itching, stops
scratching and so helps hesl and
clear surface rashes. Buy Extra

Time
morning ot the 38th, directing him
to say to Jack' and his followers
that he had not come to fight, but
to escort them to Yainax, and not
to fire a gun except In self-defense."
Odeneal, apparently did
not have the courage oi Mcachum
in facing Jack and so was content
to send the soldiers In his place
this leads Meacham to say:
"It was a mistake that he did
not go In person, either with
the messengers in the first Instance
or alter their return to Linkville.
He might not have accomplished
any good, but he would have pre
vented sever criticism, and much
blame that was laid at his door;
inasmuch as Jack subsequently as
serted 'that he would not have re
sisted, had Odeneal come himself
to him and made everything
plain.' "
Apparently Odeneal felt that bul
lets were going to fly and he had
rather remain a live bureaucrat
than - a dead one.
The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
' All to 'often I receive inquiries
from people suffering from sciatic
who want to know more about
this distressing condition. Some of
them have experienced pain lor
months.
Some"of them have numbness
and tingling as well as pain. All
are eager for Information on how
It can be cured. I wish that I
could tell them.
Sciatica is a term used to de
scribe psin along the course of
the sciatic nerve rather than a
single disease. This nerve runs
down the back of the leg from the
buttocks to the heel. Apparently
many different causes can Irritate
the sciatic nerve and bring pain.
Some doctors claim that most
cases of "sciatic neuritis" are
caused by a hernia or rupture of
the cartilage-like aubstances which
He between the vertebrae or small
bones of the spinal column.
This substance Is called the nu
cleus pulposus. At any rate, there
is no doubt that many cases of
pain in the sciatic nerve have been
relieved by the surgical treatment
of this rupture.
Fain in the sciatic nerve also
may come from conditions else
where in the body. Such disease
as diabetes, certain kinds of vita
min deficiencies and rheumatic
conditions produce sciatic pain. In
fection In an abscessed tooth or
diseased tonsils also may cause
sciatica. In such cases, removal or
drainage of the Infected areas often
brings relief although many dis
appointments can be expected.
When the sciatic nerve is sub
jected to pressure from something
in or near. the spine Itself, sciatic
pain may result. Any disorder of
the lower back, for example, can
cause sciatica.
Many times the direct cause can
be found. Sometimes the injection
of a local anesthetic or salt solu
tion relieves the pain. Manipula
tion, together with other measures
of physical therapy, such as heat
or diathermy, may be helpful.
X-ray treatments and special
exercises have been used success
fully In a few of the more difficult
cases.
Until more Is learned about what
brings on the more obscure types,
It will be difficult to successfully
treat all cases of this condition.
On the favorable side, almost all
eventually recover or can be cured,
even though the path Is long.

WASH1NOTON liN-Thls Is a
quick look at what Congress has
done In 19M. what It hasn't done
won't do. and may do, before the
lawmakers go home to face the
voters in the November elections.
They want to quit here by July
31, so they can campaign for re
election, but probably won't get
away until some time In August.
Elsenhouvr has sald he wants hit
program, or what happens to It In
Congress, to be the campaign
Issue.
His Republicans run Congress.
He has leaned over backwards to
get along with them. But he has
put them on the spot.
Last December he said the Re
publican party doesn't deserve to
return control oi uie government
until Congress puts through his
program. Last week ne said ne
could think of nothing more im
portant to the United States than
Its enactment.
The margin between Democrats
and Republicans in Congress Is so
close that; (1) none of Etsenhow.
er's program could be passed with
out some help from Democrats and
(3) the Democrats could block pas
sage any time they banded solidly
together.
In the House there are only four
more Republicans than Democrats.
In the Senate the lineup Is it
Democrats. 47 Republicans and 1
independent. Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon.
So far Congress has passed only
six measures which could be con
sidered of major Importance:
(11 Joining Canada in the 8t.
Lawrence seaway; (31 a delense
pact with South Korea; (3) crest
'Ing an Air Force academy; (41
extending major excise tax rates
and cutting others: 5i providing
two billion dollars for federal high
way construction: 6 Increasing
the borrowing power of the Com
modity Credit corp.
Because the Democrats stuck to
gether, two of Eisenhower's pro
posals were shelved: revising the
Taft-Hartley labor relations law
and lowering the voting age to It.
Last week Congress started roll
ing toward passage of a wider
social security program and the
kind of housing program Elaen-
nower asked for.
The House approved a bill to add
almost 10 million people to social
security coverage while Increasing
both the benefits and the tax. The
Senate is expected to vote for this
too.
Meanwhile, the Senate okayed
most of the Elsenhower housing
program, including the building of
35,000 public units a year for the
next four years, continuing government-insured
loans on homes, and
the use of one billion dollars for
slum clearance. The House earlier
had knocked out the adminlatra
tlon's proposal for 35,000 public
housing units a year. There can be
no final passage of a housing bill
until both House and Senate agree,
perhaps by compromise on both
sides.
Three meaaures Elsenhower
sought have little chance of getting
through: (1) extension for three
years at the reciprocal trade pro
gram; (3) flexible farm price sup
ports: (3) Hawaiian statehood.
The trade program will probably
not be extended beyond a year,
and In fact Eisenhower has Indi
cated he will be satisfied with that.
Elsenhower Insisted again last
week he wants the flexible price
support system on farm products
but that seems out. Hawaiian state
hood proposals got tangled with
Alaskan statehood proposals. The
probable- result: Statehood for
neither.
Here are some other major Items
upon which there has been no final
action either because only one
house, or neither, has approved:
Increasing the limit on the na
tional debt; overhauling the tax
laws; easing restrictions on use of
atomic materials; a S'-bllllon-doI-lar
foreign aid program; reinsur
ance on private health Insurance;
and arflncrease In the postal rates,

An overaealoua meddler In other

about to prove the wastefulness of
the habit, -
He learned by questioning (hut
the smoker had been smoking for
40 years, that he consumed an
average of ten clgara a day, which
were costing him currently 16
cents apiece.
'Mercy, think of that," aald the
nosy one, "That's 11.60 a day.
Have you always done that? '
"Not quite," aald Uie smoker.
"Once I could get a good five-
cent cigar. Probably the averaue
over the years would be ten-cent-

"Even so, that's a dollar a day
for 40 years. Let me see lonelily

"Just think, with what you've

"Do you own II?" aked the
smoker.
"No, I don't," said the busybody.

though It seems that relishing a
cigar, to the average clgaret smok

eat Eskimo Pie; which was named
for him but he never tried.
The clgaret boys gave the little
seegars a break. Tho "one
of three" smokers so oft reminded
of their allergy to "Irritating tars"
furnished a yawning market, Into
which the cigar lunged, like an

when I was a boy It was common
to see sedate old ladles enjoying
their pipes. So, who knows
At the height of the nicotine
scare I saw a note from a tobacco
grower, the printable part of which
read: "What's the matter with you
guys? Since Walter Raleigh,
there's been no such bellyache till
now. Tobacco ain't no diet for
babies. Be your age; tobacco, like
bourbon, Is for folks who can take
It."
The rugged grower of the weed
crudely hit the nail on the head.
"Folks who can take It" neither
create scores nor become scared
by uprisings against their fnvorlte
.habits, even though looked upon
by reformers as "bad."
They get pinched in crusades
against misuse and overindulgence
by folks who can't take It; weak
lings, youngsters and slaves to one
of nature's products that Ood In
tended to test Uie horse sense and
will power of man. It seems
there's always a "souse" to spoil
a nice party.
What was It we started visiting
about? Oh yes. It was about our
brother's keeper: the bird who
doesn't smoke and thinks nobody
should.
Plenty shouldn't, youngsters par
ticularly, and plenty of oldsters
should smoke far less. Admittedly,
when overindulged, tobacco la
good "for nobody. Same for beef
steak. A doctor can say that I amoke
too much and get away with It.
But when some self-appointed me-
lloralor starts telling me, who has
smoked everything from corn silk
and buggy whips to perique tor eo
years, thst I'm going to atunt my
growth, shorten my years, ruin my
health and go broke, I see red.
Now that I'm five-eleven, 100
pounds, disgustingly healthy and
sufficiently solvent at 13, I Just
can't help saying:

ness; you don't look too hot your
self." SNAKES ALIVE

BRUCE
Senator McCarthy'a recent tilt
ing with the presidential authority
was an astonishing performance
In many ways.
Tho senator said he believes Ihe
oath a government employe takes
to defend his country attalnsl all
enemies "lowers far above any
presidential aecrecy directive."
That statement la worth analysis.
In the first place, when a gov
ernment worker decides on his own
to hand classified Information to
McCarthy or anybody else, he is
not simply going against Execu
tive orders. He Is violating laws
paased by Congress, and Is com
mitting a crime.
The Espionage Act of 1041 and
Ihe Internal Security Act of lflJO
provide criminal penalties for any
unauthorized person who divulges
classllied material affecting the
national defense.
So, to tho extent that McCar
thy's Invitation to government
personnel covers material of this
character, he Is urging men to
commit a crime to aupply him
with data. He even declared Uiey
had a "duty" to do this.
What, one may wonder, is their
"duty" to Uie laws ot the United
States? Are these to be set aside
whenever, In the Judgment of par
ticular Individuals, they deem It
wise and necessary?
If laws are to be observed only
at the discretion of the men they
affect, then they aro not laws.
They are simply rough guides, to
be Ignored accordlnggto Individual

The feeling Ihey seemed to share
was expressed by Ll. John J.
Mnglla of Hempstead, N Y., who
sb id:
"I always wanted lo come back
to see tins pleee of terrain iiiulrr
different conditions. Now the
places I could never large! nip
hard lo find. If It weren't fur the
cemetery, the beach would look
like s summer resort. Moat of Uio
obriaclcs that were hero 10 years
ago are gone now."
"Yes." said 1.1. Col. Albert II.
Smith Jr. of Baltimore, Md., who
hit Uie beach In one ol Uie earliest
assault waves, "It'a emeatng there
are ho tew of the scara of war
left. The years have been kind to
Uie.te hills thst we beat up ao."
When the speeches and ceremo

still carrying rifles, began lo wan

crosses. Each had been decorated
with small French and U.S. flats,

Under the chill, overcast nkv,
Uie soldiers walked about among
the crosses. Some knelt at the
name they had sought and found.
Several took out Uielr handker

One stood with bowed head, his
rifle held downward with both
hands, until It was Ume lor Uie

The men under Uie white crosses
were alone again but Uiey had
been remembered by men who
fought aide by side with them 10
years ago. That was mora than
speeches and blowing muslo and
flying Mags.

McCarthy Is asking federal
workers to do Uie same. It makes
no difference that Information
about alleged aubverslon is at
atake. Are we to conclude that
can only fight communism In
America by urging government
people to commit crimes?
But what If there were no laws
atandlng In the way? There are
still Uie various presidential direc
tives barring outside acces to se
curity tiles ot government
workers. Aro these really nothing
but a "cover-up" for an adminis
tration? The answer Is, ol course, thst
they are designed to proteot the In
nocent. We all know that aecurlty
files are a hodge-podge containing
everything from solid information
on aubverslon In some eases In
the wUdest, emptiest gossip In
others.
The basic purpose of the aecurlty
directives Is In the best American
tradition.

Mr. Doe Is Dead
Ore. N. Taylor
Why call Mr. Doe dead when he
Is walking around and at hla
dally work? Why call him dead?
The Bible tells why. It says thst
sll have sinned and Uiat tho
wages of sin Is
death. Romans
3:33. Yes, Mr.
Doe has sinned
and to Ood he
is a dead man.
Now see Ood
prove his love
for Mr. Doe. Ood
so loved Mr. Doe
thst If he were
to believe on
Christ as taking
his sins- and dy
ing for him, then v T..lar

perish but have eternal Ufa. Ood
then takes the old Isbol off and
gives Mr. Doe a now label that
reads "Eternal Life," And may
you also believe on tho Lord
Jesus Christ as dying for your
sins and you shall not perish but
have eternal life. Put off; hesi
tate; wait and you die lost. This
message sent you by a Portland
