Americas Lost Tribes.

Rollin Lynde HART, In the Century.
Three hundred thousand m~ountaineers,
adding one luckless neighborhood to an
other, live In wretchedness unspeakable.
Our kinsmen, mind you; not hyphenates,
but descendants of the original Americans.
Appalachia furnished the rear guard Of
the revolution. 1t Is through no fault Of
theirs that the 800, 900 have fallen on evil
days. 1t is the work of isolation.
Little by little isolation gives way before
industrial inroads. New railways come.
Lumbermen attack remote forests. Coal
is discovered. Electrical engineers plan
the damming of streams, the building of
power houses. Resorts bring loitercrs
from highland and lowland. But contact
with the outer world brings dangers as
we'll as benefits. No one who has the
furure OF Appalachn at heart wants to
see II either invaded or evacuated. Every
one who has the future OF Appalachia at
heart wants to see 1t brought into its own
1t ought from the first to have been a
sovereign commonwealth. Failing that, it
was gerrymandered among nine separate
states affording an admired, but neg
lected, back yard to each.

Lost to America, I mean: Several millions
of our best people shut away where as a
race they contribute little or nothing 10
our modern progress. Individual persons
emerge, 1t is true. Here and there a thriv-
ing town springs up, to link itself with
America. Yet for the most part Appa-
lachia lives In solitary confinement; in
cold storage almost. And while a pre-
revolutionary America within an America
Ia interesting and romantic and a Joy to
our novelists, solitary confinement and
cold storage involve the handicapping of
abilities. They insulate genius. They In
sulate talent. H"th are as Common In
Appalachia as elsewhere. Both are waste
material and remain so except as some
random fortuity provides the outlet.
A vicious circle obtains. Without pros
perity, no opportunity. Without oppor-
tunity. no prosperity. All praise. then,
to the new leaders who have set about
breaking that circle.

| SHulClOi, OI'I IL
Editor East Oregonian:
In your issue of yesterday (June
49, you publish an article under the
caption, "Boys at Front Feel Hurt
Over Lack of. Letters from Home"
| The writer's experience may be the
same as others in our city and all
over our country. L have a boy in
active service who went overseas
early in May. He enlisted in the av-
iation corps early in March. I wrote
him while in training at Fort Slocum,
N. Y, Camp Dix, n. J., and Camp
Kelly. Texas, over twenty letters.
| One of them with special delivery
stamp attached. His five brothers and
sisters have also written him fire.
quently. He had only received four
letters altogether before sailing. I
have received two letters from him
since he arrived in France and it is
the same old story-I know you have
all written me. but 1 have not receiv-
ed any mail and 1 get discouraged
when 1 do not hear from you.
Now Mr.. Editor, what is the mat
ter? Is the postal service of L. 5.
A. anywhere near filling the bill in
forwarding mail to the boys, both in
training camps and overseas? 1 think
little publicity about the tardiness
of our postal service in getting the
mail to the boys would do a lot of
good. I do not want to complain to
the extent of causing any embarrass-
ment to the authorities, for generally
they are doing great work, but 1t
seems to me letters written in March
and April should have been deliver
ed before sailing in May. am only
hoping mail will be forwarded across
in fairly direct time and all our boys
win know that we at home have their
welfare constantly in our thoughts.
Hoping you will give this the sane
publicity as your article of June 13,
and that it will spread broadcast !
am yours, f. T. AVIsON. |
1t has been explained that much OF
the delay in getting letters to soldiers |
arises from the fact that they are 4
frequently moved from place to place, |
thus making slow mail delivery In
evitabIe. The government is con-
stantly trying to improve the service,
but war conditions necessarily make
nail deliveries slow. This makes It
even more incumbent on relatives and
friends to write to soldiers frekuently.

ton to reach soldiers who have no
