will eat when camping; how good for
a moment TO be out of reach of the
telephone; how entrancmg is Gods
great out-of-doors A new spirit ami
mated our hearts as we fell asleep
that peaceful night, lulled by the
voice of the mountain stream, and the
morning light brought new message
of bird song from the alders.
Hot coffee, boiled eggs, Drowned ba-
con and fried bread for breakfast!
Who coluldn t see Gods love in the
bright sunshine, and His wisdom in
the pulsating leaves? Who couldn't
catch trout after such breakfast,
in such place? So another summer
day found us with rods and reels,
laced boots and creels, on the brink OF
the brimming river. The winding
mountain torrent, hedged in as it is
with willows and forest trees, OF here
and there with steep walls of solid
rock, has it's morning and its after
noon features--all a difference
wrought by the srnbeams, So a little
sunshine in human life will illumine
many gloomy places, and they, too,
are made resplendent. The dark walls
Of rock, now in the morning light, are
seen in all their beauty. Dripping
with hidden springs, they now appear
green with the graceful locks of maid
en- hair ferns that cover hard features;
while the gloomy pools of yesterday
are now reservoirs Of azure light.
"Reach the masses with a spoon"
is a true saying-and so we reached
the trout that morning. The "queen
of the waters' had no charms for the
trout that day-for like good Ameri-
can citizens they have minds Of their
own. They wouldn't rise to anything
but copperlined spoon. So we waded
the swift waters and stumbled over
the round boulders, and whipped the
eddies, and lashed the swirling pools,
and slid on the shelving rock-and
then the Sky Pilot balanced himself
on smooth log to cross a deep place,
when-swoosh He sat quickly and
effectively down on the bottom of the
river. So the wish of Sawbones came
tlue-but he wasn't looking!
The joy of fishing in the mountain
wilds is something more than catch
ing fish, for everybody despises a
game hog. Nobody ever catches enough
fish to pay the bill-but the paying
dividend is found in the exhilarating
odors of the woods, the sweet briar
and manzanita, the spice bush and ev-
ergreen trees, and in the vision OF
green fields and shady forest so rest
full to the eyes, and the release from
the cares and hum-drum of the daily
grind. But we found all these-and j
then Sawbones came stumbling along
over the slippery rocks, casting his
spoon ever so deftly, when-swoosh
He sat quickly and effectively down on
the bottom of the river-and the Sky
Pilot was looking
But after all, the guild of fishermen
is entered properly only by fall in
the river-it is the token of order
And when we turned from the purling
stream for the homeward flight, the
waters we're just as musical, the sun
beams just as golden, and the wood
land just as charming as before-so
the mountain wilds are never robbed
of their magic spell, but offer thel
sweet release to all who delight in
,, their enchantments.

SUMMING UP BY DEFENSE
IN THE new HAVEN CASE

NEW YORK, January 4.-The summing
up of the testimony in behalf Of the de-
fense was begun today at the trial Of
the eleven former directors of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad,
with Richard V. Lindabury. personal coun-
sci for William Rockefeller, addressing
the jury. -.
The point at issue, he said, was not
that the defendants had acquired this
property and that, but whether they had
conscious plan to monopolize commerce
whether they originally had broad plan
which they conspired to carry. out, and
whether the monopoly was unlawful and
an unreasonable restraint of. trade in
furious to the public.
Every monopoly is not unlawful" he
said. Every railroad is in fact a
monopoly. 1t depends upon whether the
monopoly is unlawful--whether it is un-
reasonable
Mr.. Lindabury then set forth the reasons
why he thought the growth of the New
Haven was a reasonable one and the re-
suit attained a necessity for the develop
ment of business interests of New Eng
land. Otherwise, he declared, New Eng
land would have 'withered and shriv-
elled."

Greece Fears Bulgars.
'The delay in this attack is not due
to the difficulty in bringing UP troops

the community. He presented no panacea that
will cure. He did not analyze local conditions.
That was not his purpose. His speech was
adaptable enough to fit conditions in Chicago,
Skagway, Havana or Montreal. The salvation OF
any city, according to the speaker, rests with the
people in the city and not with any outside in
fluence.
If Richmond is to become the leading city of
eastern Indiana, her citizens are the ones that
must push, pull and force her onward Outside
capital and outside brains will not and cannot
do it. No one can save another mans soul, and
no set of people excepting our own can work out
the salvation Of the city.
The best brains of the city have pledged
themselves to the task of making Richmond
greater. The cooperative effort of every man,
woman and child in Richmond, boosting, talking,
working, striving for Richmond will bring
about this contamination. The united effort Of
an enthusiastic citizenship, pledged to one pur-
pose working for one end, consecrated to the
task, actuated by faith that will move noun
tains, sustained by the assurance that success
will come, endowed with the strength of convic-
ton, confirmed in its faith in the city and its
destiny, are the spiritual forces that will bring
about the material success that every patriotic
citizen prays and hopes for.

City Planning

A business man keeps his eye glued on the
future. He believes the past is dead and gone,
good only for the conclusions he may draw from
failure and success.
By looking toward the future, the business
man plans for eventualities and arranges his ad-
ministration to meet the growing needs of his
concern.
Few cities plan ahead. They believe that suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil thereof, and so
they pay no attention to growing needs and fu-
ture contingencies, the result being that every
so often they find themselves face to face with a
menacing problem that might have been fore
stalled long before it reached point that became
critical.
Take the bridge crisis in this city as an in
stance. Forethought and thorough survey Of
traffic requirements, transportation and terri
torial growth made fifteen years ago would have
given the board of county commissioners relia-
BILE data on which to base action Since this was
lacking, it was natural that the members of the
board and the whole community should founder
around in swamp of indecision and that vision
airy and impracticable plans should provoke bla-
tant discussion and vapid opinions.
Even today, no one knows whether the Doran
bridge or the Main street span carries the bulk
of traffic; whether more persons cross the Doran
bridge or the Main street structure; whether the
Doran bridge is the important link to the fac
tories on the west side or whether the Main
street bridge carries this load. The same obser-
walton holds true of the proposed south side span
No one has accurate, first hand knowledge of the
traffic that the bridges will accommodate
survey of the city of Richmond in which
attention would be paid to probable industrial ex-
pansion, location of new factory sites, establish
ment of new residential quarters, designation of
parks, reconstruction of the sewer system to ac-
commodate increased population, adequate water
supply, changes in the railroad grades and in
their right of way through Richmond, would
give the city authorities and the county Off
