Oi/F Of TNÍ Log Cabin History Log construction was a pro­ digious tool in the development of this nation, from 1638 until the last stakes of the Frontier were driven in the Pacific. The general fact is no news to most readers. But what about that specific date of 1638? Didn’t the orignal settlers from old Eng­ land start making homes in Vir­ ginia in 1607 and in New Eng­ land in 1620? And was not every such home a log cabin—another example of the native invent­ iveness, adaptability, ingenuity and related glorious virtues of the British stock? Mr. Stewart H. Holbrook ans­ wers that last question with a resounding “No” in hi3 new book, Lost Men of American History— the most instructive and enter­ taining volume of its kind that I have read in many a day. Such top-rank historians as Allen Nev­ ins and Benard De Voto de­ scribe the book as a volume of highest historical importance. The eastern reviewers likewise give it great praise. English Wigwams But now that question of the log cabin. Historian Holbrook makes it plain that neither Cap­ tain Joespb Smith nor Governor Bradford “ever lived in a log cabin, and probably neither of them ever saw one.” And then: “The log cabin's first appearance was in 1638, when members of the Swedish West India Company set up a trading post and village on the shore of Delaware Bay.” That is what the book says—the Swedes brought us the log cabin in 1638, while the English settlers were were yet mostly living in miser­ able “English wigwams.” These dwellings were a com­ bination pattern of the miner's hut in Wales and the Indian’s wigwam. “They were constructed,’ says Mr. Holbrook, “of woodbine or grapevine, steamed and bent to form a skeleton shaped something like the frame top of a covered wagon. The skeleton was then covered with thatch made of such reeds or heavy grasses as best came to hand. Heat for warmth and cooking came from an open fire, not a fireplace as we knolv it, inside.’ For many years the frame houses that were built were also thatched. Even the English of Delaware, living beside the tight, dry and comfortable log cabins of the Swedes, were so bullheaded that they resisted change from their unhealthful, wet wigwams for scores of years. Such are skimmings from just the first five pages of the grand new book by Stewart Holbrook, who came out of these woods ten years ago to become one of the first men of American letters. Great Stories All In his introduction “Hols’ Hol­ brook, as our historian will ever be to me, makes this powerful point: “No authentic American, native or adopted, need pay any heed to the tub-thumpers for American democracy. All he need know is something of the men and women who made this country what it is today.” Many of these men and women, he declares, have been lost in the conventional his­ tories of dramatic events and dazzling personalities. In this book, he gives the neglected their K just due. So the era of colonial settle­ ment is projected through the Swedish colonists who built the first log cabins in America, and the Revolution is approached through Sam Adams, “the Great Agitator.” Sergeant Ezra Lee with his Turtle, the first sub­ marine, and private Deborah Simpson of the Continental Army, have stories you should know. How well posted are you on the tremendous joint part played by Philosopher Herbert Spencer and Author Horatio Alger, Jr., in giving form and foundation to the continuing tradition of American Free Private Enterprise? What dirt did the elegant journalist, Richard Harding Davis, do the really great General William Ruf­ us Shafter in the War with Spain ? Who is or was Ignatius Donnelly, and how did he happen to be the real father of the new Deal? Such questions, and many more, are dealt with by Mr. Holbrook in Lost Men of American History; first of all, to give readers more facts on “the men and women who made this country what it is today;” and then to portray character and narrate history in a gripping 3tyle. There is ab­ solutely no bettei new book on the market. It is on the' market, and I’ll tell you where if you wTant to ask me on a postcard. The Old Settler . . . Songs and tales from away back are wheeling in my head. Among them are the full eight stanzas of the ballad, “The Old Settler,” which Singer Ivar Haglund has rescued from away yonder in the 1880’s. It reads right well, and is a prime item for your scrap­ book. I’ve traveled all over this country, Prospecting and digging for . gold: I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled, And I have been frequently sold. So rolling my grub in a blanket, I left my tools on the ground, And started one morning to shank it For a country they called Puget Sound. Arriving flat broke in midwinter, I found it enveloped in fog. And covered all over with timber Thick as hair on the back of a dog. I took up a claim in the forest And set myself down to hard toil. Two years I chopped and I la­ bored, But I never got down to the soil. I tried to get out of the country. But poverty forced me to stay Until I became an old settler— Then nothing could drive me away. And now that I*m used to the climate, I think that if man ever found A place to be peaceful and quiet That spot it is on Puget Sound. No longer a slave of ambition. I laugh at the world and its shams. As I think of my happy condition. Surrounded by acres of clams. NAZARFNE CHAPEL The church that cares. —H. L.

Farrell Jr. This fuel is estimated to have carried them three billion miles. Taxes on the record fuel sale netted the state $12,394,923, even after refunds, had been made to non-highway users. This is a 62 per cent gain over last year. Gross sales for the month of September alone amounted to almost 36,000,000 gallons. It’s not hard to see how huge a scale traffic problems have assumed,” said Farrell, ‘“when you find Oregon drivers piling up almost half a billion miles a month on the highways of the state.” September’s consumption was the third largest for any month this year, with August and July taking first and second place respectively. • Two Degrees in Grange Taken KEASEY—Mrs. Counts, Betty Counts and James Bonnick at­ tended the National Grange which was held in Portland Thursday and Friday and returned home Sat.

PAINTING PAPERHANGING Y • | Paint and Wallpaper for Sale j Who are the “enterprisers” who make up our free competitive enterprise system that has made America great and which will, without strangling controls, keep it great. They are your neighbors—the doctor, the grocer, the farmer, the small manufactureer. One of them invests his savings in a stock of groceries. He hires a clerk, who also delivers orders. He Takes the Risk The two jobs he created cost the grocer the total investment that he has in store equipment, in groceries, in a truck, and in cred­ its advanced to his customers. The risks of not making a suc­ cess of it are his to take. If he suceeds, the jobs are se­ cure. and the families they sup­ port are secure. If he fails, his savings are lost, and two men look for work. The grocer is an enterpriser. His group in our economy—the about or.e-fourth of all the jobs created in America. Or, your neighbor is a farmer. With the years, he increases his investment, and with it, the wel­ fare of his family. He too is an enterpriser. His group—agricul­ ture— supplies another fourth of all the jobs created in our land. • Cherronesus. Metropatamia.
