OUR IGNORANCE
OF OUR DESTINY

sual desire, which cannot serve us
any utilitarian purpose-it is not
possible that this satisfaction is the
pale ray of a consciousness different
from our remembering consciousness
II we cannot imagine this different
we have today, is accommodated to
deny II. even believe that II would
be wiser to affirm that this Is a mo-
tive for admitting It. All our life
Is passed among thing which we
could not have imagined II our
senses, instead of being given us al
together, were accorded us one by
one and year by year.
That which debars us and for
long time will debar us from the
treasures OF the universe Is the he
redltary resignation with which we
sojourn I'm the limited prison of our
senses. Our Imagination, such as
we havetoday, is accommodated too
easily to this captivity. II does not
cultivate enough the intuitions an1
presentiments which tell IL that II
IL absurdly imprisoned and that It
should seek egress and search for
the most grandoise and the most In
finite circles which Il represents to
itself. IL tells itself more and more
seriously that the real world begins
thousands of leagues farther away
than the most ambitious and tlmor-
Gus dreams.
Man, In order to preserve a sense
OF proportion, must tell himself
every minute that, placed in the
middle of realities of the universe,
he would be exactly comparable to an
ant which suddenly would find itself

In the invincible ignorance where
we are our Imagination has the
choice OF our eternal destinies. A
FIRST hypothesis is that of absolute
humiliation. A second hypothesis,
ardently caressed by our blind in
stincts, promises us the preserva-
tion, more or less lntergral through
the infiinlty OF time, of our con-
seriousness or of our actual ego. Re-
mains a double hypothesis of sur
vival with consciousness or with n
consciousness enlarged and trans
formed. of which that which we pos
sess today cannot give us any idea,
which it rather prevents us from
conceiving, Just as our imperfect
eye prevents us from concelving 9TH
or light than that which passes be-
tween subred and ultraviolet. The
hypothesis resolves itself into a sim
pie question of consciousness. To
say, Tor example, as we are tempted
TO do, that a survival without con-
sciousness is equivalent to annihila-
tion, Is to argue a priori and with
out reflection this problem of con-
seriousness, the principal and the
most obscure OF all those that inter-
est us. It Is, as the metaphysicians
have all proclaimed, the most DIM
cult there Is, inasmuch as the object
of consciousness itself Is what we
would know.

FUEL FOR
EASTERN
OREGON

Owing to the fuel famine which
has existed to some extent for the
past IS months, and the certainty
that conditions in Eastern Oregon,
especially, are sure to become grave
during the coming winter, Governor
Chamberlain has suggested the pos
sibility of the railroad commission
and the railroads reaching some
agreement by which the fuel going
to waste in Southern Oregon can be
made available for the use of the
Eastern part of the state. His COM
munication to the commission fol-
lows:
Thomas X. Campbell, Chairman. Or
egon Railroad Commission, Salem,
Oregon:
Dear Sir: I am advised by the
press that the people of Eastern Ore
gon are threatened with fuel fam
inc, which is likely to be severer
than was experienced by them last
winter. They have depended upon
the states of Wyoming and Washing
ton mainly for their coal supply. and
Il is stated that the railroad COM
panies cannot deliver orders for coal
on account of car shortage, contend
ing that the heavy shipments OF
grain have utilized all OF the surplus
rolling stock
The state railroad commission Is
powerless to intervene in behalf OF
the people of Eastern Oregon
because shipments of coal from
the states named into Oregon,
involves interstate commerce. and
the interstate commerce commission
is the only body having jurisdiction
over such matters.
! am OF the opinion, however, that
your commission can afford relief
without having the question of in
terstate commerce raised by the rail-
road companies. During recent
visit to Southern Oregon I learned
that the mills In that section OF the
state are burning millions OF cords
Of slab-wood and refuse, In order to
get rid OF the same, finding it i'm
possible to sell or ship the same, be-
cause OF excessive freight rates. |
am inclined to believe, from infor- |
nation which | have received, that, !
rather than destroy all OF this ma
.erial, the mills of Southern Oregon |
md of the Willamette valley would |
pc glad to load slab-wood on the cars
It not to exceed one dollar per cord,
Ir even less, II reasonable rates could
,e obtained for shipment to East
'rn Oregon. where there Is likely 10
,e great suffering this winter be-
'ause of the inability OF the people
o procure either wood or coal.
respectfully suggest TO your COM
mission that they take this matter
lp for investigation. and, II you find
with reference TO tho fuel
upply In Eastern oregon such rs
hey are represented. establish rates
rom milling points In Southern Or
gon and the Willamette valley TO
Eastern Oregon which will Justify
hipment of wood which Is now be-
ng destroyed.
Trusting YOU will give this letteT
our prompt attention, | have the
onor 20 remain.
Yours very respectfully,
SlgneA
GEO. E. CHAMBERLAIN. ,
