SEQUOIA is FUTURE
CAMP OF THE NATION

Analysis shows that the very large
increase in visitors to the Sequoia ma
tional park last summer, amounting
to nearly 60 per cent over the record
attendance of the summer before,
consisted largely of campers-out, q
fact which strongly emphasizes what
has been called "the manifest destiny
of the Greater Sequoia as thesfsture
summer camping place of the nation. 4"
The Report of the Director Of the
National Park Service, juts issued,
says:
1T was a most pleasing sight to
stand in the midst of the Giant forest
during the past summer and gaze
upon the attractively situated and
tastefully decorated camps nestled
each at the base of an enormous Sc
quota. 1t was a peaceful scene and
beautiful one. There was nothing
to do in the forest but rest, breathe
the health-restoring air, drink the
clear, cold water and contemplate the
dignity and beauty of the biggest and
oldest of living things. Fishermen
came and went, and the mixers and
horseback riders took to the trails
and returned from the higher alti-
tudes of the park, but the peaceful
ness and quietude of the forest was
never disturbedJ Camping in the
Giant forest is all that anybody has
written about it and more. 1t is
glorious experience.
"The enormous increase in travel
to the park this year early in the
summer disclosed the fact that it
would only be a matter of year or
two before all available camping
space would be taken long before the

That every school will have reg

army of school children that it is es-
timated may raise this year produce
valued at $500e000,O00, is the hope
expressed by President Wilson. In a
letter to Secretary Lane President
Wilson says:
II sincerely hope that you may be
successful, through the bureau of ed
ucation, in arousing the interest of
teachers and children in the schools
of the United States in the cultiva-
tion of home gardens. Every boy
and girl who really sees what the
home garden may mean will, l am
sure, enter into the purpose with
high spirits because am sure they
would all like to feel that they are
in effect fighting in France by join
ing the home garden army. They
know that America has undertaken
to send meat and flour and wheat and
other foods for the support Of the
soldiers who are doing the fighting,
for the men and women who are MAX
ing the munitions and for the boys
and girls of western Europe, and that
we must also feed ourselves while we
are carrying on this war. The move
ment to establish gardens, therefore,
and to have the children work in
them is just as real and patriotic an
effort as the building of ships or the
firing Of cannon. hope that this
spring every school will have a regi-
ment in the volunteer war garden

NEW ALASKAN RAILROAD
NEARING NATIONAL PARK

How inaccessible our newest ma
tional park, Mount Mckinley, still
remains is graphically suggested in
the account which Herbert A. Meyer,
assistant to Secretary of the Interior
Lane, gives of his last summers trip
into the great northwest in connec-
tion with the Alaska railroad which
the government is building. He had
reached Alaska by the inside passage
and from Seward, the seaboard term
inal of the new railroad, had travelled
ia miles by rail to Anchorage, the
present headquarters, where he was
still $50 miles from the point where
the station for the Mount Mckinley
national park probably will be locat-
ed. His progress from Anchorage to-
ward Mckinley was picturesque.
81 was making trip up the line,"
said Mr.. Meyer, with the intention
of going as far into the interior as
my limited time would permit. We
had travelled by rail until the end of
the track was reached and had then
continued by blackboard and saddle
for many miles over rough corduroy
roads, through dense underground,
over half-forgotte trails, crossing
sloughs where the mud and muck
would be body deep on the horses,
fording streams and swimming rapid
rivers until finally the bank of the
Susitna river was reached. I have
no hesitation in saying that the sight
of the river boat was very pleasant
after two such days in the saddle.
"The Susitna, like most glacial
streams, is exceedingly rapid and for
the most part very shallow, with jut-
ting rocks and eddieS and whirlpools
that tend to make navigation diff
cult and dangerous. The problem
confronting the engineers at this
point was to find the most efficient
and economical way by which men
and supplies could be transported
further along the line. Two methods
presented themselves: of building
wagon roads, or of utilizing the river.
The cost of constructing even tempo
rary roads in such a country would
be extremely high. Could the river
be utilized at less expense? In char
acteristic manner the engineers faced
this question. The result was the
construction Of small fleet of spec
tally designed boats, each capable of
handling fifty tons. These boats
have draft Of only IS inches, with
o length of IS feet and breadth of
20 feet, and they have been found to
be adequate in all respects for the
purposes intended.

GRANTS PASS MAN
GETS APPOINTMENT

Corvallis, Ore, March 14.-As the
first move in the campaign to secure
greater production of poultry, the De-
partment of Agriculture announces
the appointment of U. L. Upson Of
Grants Pass, Oregon extension poul-
try husbandman, to cooperate with
the Oregon Agricultural College, and
with office at Corvallis.
This is the time of the year when
increased production must begin, and
it is planned to initiate a publicity
compaign in the immediate future.
An itinerary is now being arranged
so that Mr.. Upson may present to the
people of Oregon, at first hand, the
aims and desires of of the federal
government relative to poultry pro-
duction. There is no doubt of the
urgent necessity for greater produc-
tion of poultry and eggs, in order that
transportable meats may be released
for overseas use.
The government has adopted the
slogan, zone hundred hens to every
farm; 100 eggs from every hen," and
is urging that all rural, civic and pa
triotic bodies get behind this move
ment in every possible way. A plen-
tiful supply of posters and literature
will soon be available for distribution
and organizations wishing to take up
this work are requested to write to
Mr.. Upson for instructions as to how
to proceed.

prayers to the God of nations and the
