Imagine not being able to get away from a telephone. And, worse yet, Imagine having someone call you up and then be able to sec you. There are plenty of times when I don't even want to look in a mirror, much less let anyone else aee me. It looks bad enough from inside, think what It must be from the ousldc? I suppose more money has been fpent In the last decade by people trying to get away from the curse of tho telephone than has been spent on Gutenberg Bibles since the first, printing. At least twice as much, why do you think hunt ing trips to the Canadian wilds are so popular, because someone wants to hunt? 8hucks no.

Actually it turned out to be orctty much of a celebration of tile fact that a full scale algae study is under way. The study isn't going full steam yet, no re sults are promised, and you can't look for any conclusions on what, can be done for tiirec years, but it is actually under way. It Is underwritten by the Oregon Klamath River Commission (with the California commission's prom ise of help i. bv Klamath County and the City of Klamath Falls. It is under the direction of Dr. Harry K. Phlnnoy of Oregon State College, with a greduatc student the on-the-job project director. This student will be working for his doctor's degree. He will come here In a couple of weeks on completion of a project for the University of Wyoming experiment station. Headquarters will be in Gene Gross' experiment station labora tory here. Putting this study together has been a long time project of the Chamber, and we want to say again what it is and isn't. It is not a course of action or trentmcnt to try to clear the algae out of Klamath Lake. It is not a study of alge as such because there is no end of scientific data on all kinds of algae. It is a study of all the physical conditions In Klamath Lake which might have a bearing on alsxc growth with the aim of finding out what. If anything, can be done to control that growth. The "Algae Fleet" was called out lo transport the Klambassa dors, the vi3itin'-grceiin' group of the Chamber, to Rocliy Point Re port, Hnrrimon Lodse and Frontier Guest P.anch iu the Pelican Bay area. It was a ' bit of mid-summer madness you mhht say, end It was a darned enjoyable day on the lake. It did impress some of the land lubbers (and long time K'am ath residents who never hod been on the middle of the lake before) with the magnitude of that reser voir ol our life blood and with the magnitude of the amount of algae I'icre in solution. (Maybe we had better learn how lo harvest ahrae and make use of It rather than how to hold it down.) Another point on algae that we'd like to make clear (as far as this writer is concerned at least) 3 that the reason for going after this study la In hopes of keeping that reservoir full of plain old Klamath Lake water as in days of yore lor the bene:it of those who use it man, bird, beast and llsh. It is not in hopes of converting Hie lake into another Southern California type resort. These who are looking for such are free to head south. This was not the first Klam baLsador tiip up Klamath Lake by any means. What probably was the first oi such wes made about 50 years ago by Bert Hall and a few others. They went on up Agency Lake end Wood River on a visit to lort Klamath. Their purpose was to inspect the bar at the mouth of Wood River nnd other obstructions to naviga tion with an eye to Improving com munication with the Fort. But this should be told by War ren Bcnncl. vice president of the Chamber. Warren jpent m?.ny of nis youlhiul days on the lake and r.ow Is famous as euthor of an un published and unwritten history of navigation and transportation on Klamath Lake. There were two differences be tween the Irips of today and 50 vears ago Bert Hall and his crew didn't see any algae and they did find B. St. George Bishop and Judge Benson stuck on a mud flat. We did find algao and didn't find anyone stuck on any mud flat, but did ilnd Charley Riley stuck at Kocky Point. around these camps.

It'a all well and good to sny lhat you don't have to answer the telephone, but show mo the man who can sit and let one of the devilish instruments ring without r.nswerlng it. I tell you, It takes more will power than I've got. And you, too, I'll be willing to bet. It'a Just as well for these ra tional people (and don't think they don t pride themselves on being rational and telling you about It at the drop of a hat or even a handkerchief or the dropping ot your guard for a moment) lo sav that you don't have to carry the :nstrument with you. I will gladly bet you half of my back lorty that there'll be someone around to see to It that you have your tele phone right with you.

Just like there is always someone lo :.ce that ou wear your rubbers on a ralnv nav and ,'uirv a spare handkenhlcl wtu-n goins out to a tea party. The thing assumes such gigantic proportions ol horror that it raises goose bumps Just to think iibom it How is one going lo sleep with a telephone strapped to ins wnsiy pie every year willing to come to blows about It. Tills constant march of progress, all of It de signed to rob us of more liberties and pleasures, seems to be dawn ing on people as the age of horror rather than the age of advance ment. The rack, the Iron maiden and the water torture were as noth ing compared to what having a poriaoie teicpnone would be. I'm only glad that Ollmer mere ly said the "phone of the future." Had he nailed it down to a defi nite date I m alrald I'd have lost my mind worrying about it.

United Slates Forest Service, in speaking to the 33rd national con vention of the Izaak Walton League of America this year drew a very interesting comparison of the pro gress of the Nation during the past fifty years of conservation. "I am unable to think of con servation or the progress of con servation as abstract Ideas," stat ed the Chief Forester. "Progress in the use of resources and progress in the restoration and perpetuation ot resources moves along with progress in all things that depend on these resources. Neither wise use or restoration of resources can be considered in an economic and social vacuum." McArdle then goes on to draw a comparison between two years separated by half a century "So to see how far we've come in re source conservation in 50 years let's see where we were a half a cen tury ago in our resource conser vation, social and economic lile. Let's turn back the pages and pre Icnd for just a few minutes that today Is not April !, 1055. but April 1, 1905. Remembering now that today Is 1905, the American flag has 45 stars; Oklahoma is known as Indian Territory: Arizona and New Mexico are territories. too. Theodore Roosevelt is Presi dent. Gifiord Pinchot is in his prime, and a trusted presidential adviser. "Our population in this great country has reached 83 million which seems like a lot of people lo us here today in 1905. but in only fifiy years this figure is going to double. Chicago is a birr city too nearly two million peoole but only a third of what its metropoli tan area is going to have half a cmtury later. Los Angeles has 102, 000 people and some day will do thinss in a b:sr way. but right now doesn't even dream of having more than 20 times lhat number of peo ple. "The Russians and Japanese arc at war. and next month the Japa nese will destroy the Russian Heel. Admiral Peary is making plans to make another attempt to reach the Norih Pole but he won't succeed for another four years. We are just getting started digging the Pana ma Canal. At Ihe St. Louis World's Fair, which closed thrco months aq;o. the ice cream cone made its first appearance. In this April of 1905, Mr. Edison's electric lights are beginning to be used by more people, but in niy home I am do ing my lessons in the mellow glow of a "coal oil" lamp. I don't know, for example, that someday I will have an electric "ice box" that will light up automatically when I open the door. As a matter ol fact, there aren't any electric ice boxes. "The United Slates boasts of more than two million telephones, and it would be rather hard to be lieve that in only a half a century we will have 50 million or that during the evening hours 50 million teenagers will have all of them in use. Aviation is brand new. It has been only a little more than a year since the Wright Brothers made their historic flight over the sand dunes at Kitty Hawk. Two years from now the Army Air Force will get started assigning one officer and two enlisted men "to study the flying machine and the possi bility of adapting it lo military purposes." The automobile, how ever, is ten years old and looks as if it might be here to stay. We have 600 trucks registered and that's the total for the United States. On any Sunday now when I stcrt out drivinjr more than that number will be ahead of me. Bat it will be another six years (this Is 1905) before I have my first thrilling ride In any of them. The first transcontinental trip by auto mobile, made less than two years aso, look 64 days. The fastest time yet made across the country was on railway trains. It took three dnys and three nights. For every day travelers it takes eight days and nignts. "Popular songs aren't hammered lo death on the radio because there won't be any radio until an other 16 years have passed. The fiist movie with a plot. "Tie Great Train Rc'jbery," was produced two ears cji. Most people have nev er een a real motion picture, but some of us youngsters have ma?ic lanterns, you know, with the smel ly kerosene lamps. We get our food supplies at the corner gro cery store, the butcher's, and the fish market, or at a market place where farmers bring their produce on Saturday mornings. There are no super-markets. To upright citi zens the groccryman extends cred it, and when we pay our weekly bill he fills up a bag with candy for the kids. Fresh beef sells for 10 or 15 cents pound; you can get a gallon of tomato catsup lor 25 cents. "The average workweek Is 55 hours, two whole days more than it will be a half a century la'er. I will Speak particularly of for. estry In this comment. The aver age wages for all industries are 24 cents an hour. In the logging woods, the hourly wage in the era 1905. run from 12 to 17 cents and' as high as 27 cents on the Pacific coast, but in some places in the South a woods worker gets four cents an hour and board. "The northeastern states have long since been logged over for white pine and are now being logged again for spruce. The lake states still turn out a lot of lum ber, but are 15 or 20 years past their peak of production. They have been pretty largely cut over. The South as a region is in the lead now, but this year, 1905, on the west coast Washington State will come up with a lumber output of nearly four billion feet, more than any other state. Tile United States lumber production in 1905, will be a near record year with 43,500.000,- 000 board leet, out the all-time peak of 46 billion feet won't be reached for another two years."
