SYNOPSIS.


CHAPTER I.-Pioneer in the California

CHAPTER u.-At fourteen Bryce makes
the acquaintance of Shirley Summer, a WIS.,
ftor to Sequoia, and his junior by a few
years. Together they visit the Valley of
the Giants, sacred to John Cardigan and
his son as the burial place of Bryce's

CHAPTER III.-While Bryce is at col

John Cardigan Strengthened up in
his chair. and laid the tip Of his right
index finger in the center of the palm
of his left hand. 'Here was the sit
uation, Bryce: The center of my
palm represents Sequoia; the ends of
my fingers represent the San Hedrin
timber twenty miles south. Now, If
the railroad built in from the south,
you would win. But if it built in from
Grants Pass, Oregon, on the north
from the base of my hand, the terminus
Of the line would be SequOia, twenty
miles from your timber in the San
Hedrin watershed!''
Bryce nodded. 'In which event,
he replied, 1--WE would be in much the
same position with our San Hedrin
timber as Colonel Pennington is with
his Squaw creek timber. We would
have the comforting knowledge that
we owned it and paid taxes on it but
couldn't do a dad-burned thing with

fright you areI The thing to do,
then, as viewed the situation, Bryce,
was to acquire body of timber north
of Sequoia and be prepared for either
eventuality. And this I did"
Silence again descended upon them
and Bryce, gazing into the open fire
place. recalled an event in that period
of his fathers activities: Old Bill

to dinner one night, and quite sud-

DEBTS AND EXPORTS.

The one thing sure about German rep
aration is that Germany cannot pay an
indemnity to the allies unless she can
develop profitable export trade, selling
more than she buys. And the allies are
in the absurd position of trying to keep
out her goods-through a heavy tax on
her exports-and collect billions from her
at the same time.
The one thing sure about repayment
of the $4,000, 100000 the allies owe our
and the several billions more
they owe our private business interests
is that they, likewise, cannot pay us I'M
less they pay mainly in goods Their
debts were incurred through buying from
us vastly more than they sold to us. We
have most of the gold in the world, and
they have little except the power to pro-
duce raw materials and manufactured
goods. Yet large numbers of American
business men, and some lawmakers as
we'll, while disavowing any desire to can
eel those allied debts, are determined to
prevent any considerable influx of inn

ports. If the allied debts are to be can
ccled, very well! But does the nation
want them cancelled? There is no sign
of such a desire.
There is more concerned, too, than the
mere payment of war obligations by Ger
many to the allies and by the allies to
the United States, important as that con-
sideration undoubtedly is. Disinterested
economists insist that our own export
trade is at stake. We cannot continue
goods Indefinitely, they say, in
return for mere promises to pay. There
must be actual payment, and for a while,
until the score is made more nearly even,
a large part of that payment must be
made in goods. 1t is merely question
of taking payment in the kinds of goods
that will interfere least with our own in

\ YEAR OF THE LEAGUE.

In this season of anniversaries it may
not be amiss to pause and note that the
league of nations has recently passed its
first anniversary. Without indulging in
any prophecy as to its future vitality
and possible longevity, it is possible to
look with interest upon its brief history
of a year. 1t now has an established
home at Geneva, Switzerland. and per
mancnt sccretariat. It's council has met
and plans to meet every six weeks,
Forty-seven nations are represented in
it's assembly There is a budget for the
coming year of y 10000 gold francs.
A court of international justice and an
international credit commission have
been established by the league. Its fl
nancial experts have formulated eco
monte and financial policies which have
been helpful in aiding reconstruction
work in some of the war-ravaged coun-
tries. 1t is seeking, through authorized
military, naval, air and civilian experts.

reduction of ornaments. Its a mem
Der nations have been asked to refrain
military budgets within the next two
years.
The league has settled two interna-
tional disputes and arranged for plebis-
cites in territory claimed by conflicting
powers. 1t has put into operation a few
mandates and is seeking the right way to
handle others.
Possibly the humanitarian work of the
league of nations would be more impress
sivc to persons who are skeptical OF the
possibility IF IFS over meeting success

lens. Over 100000 prisoners of war
were rcpatriated through the leagues eff
forts, and supervision of the suppression
of the opium traffic in China has been
taken over by it from the Netherlands
government. Many other activities could
be cited to show the wide and beneficial
scope of the work such an organization
may accomplish.
There is much hope to be derived from
contemplation of this record 1t 'mat-
ters little, perhaps, whether the league
continues with it's present organization
or whether it serves as the basis for the
development of a better association. The
power for good of a union of all the ma
| tions of the world, seeking justice for
all and the elimination of distrust and
grudges and warfare, has been sufficient
ly demonstrated to guarantee that the
progress made by the existing league
shall not be permanently lost

doubt, to a misunderstanding of the force
of the new provisions and the provisions

A Personal, Private Bill.
(St. Adams Messenger.l

The Messenger referred yesterday to
H-222 as being a private personal bill. II
probably isn't necessary to say that this
Is the measure designed to remove the
appointing power from the governor SO far
as the commissioner of highways is con-
cerned. 1t followed the governors state
ment that he did not intend to reappoint
Mr.. Bates. 1t was drawn up to meet this
situation.
Now it also happened that at about the
same time the governor sent an appoint
ment to the senate naming a veteran of
the World war as fish and game commits
Sloner as successor to Commissioner Leay-
ems. Confirmation of this appointment
was also denied by the senate.
But does any member of the house or
the senate show great indignation because
Mr. LeavenS was not reappointcd? Is
any one moved to present uhl making
the flsh and game commiSsOnership cleo
tive by the Legislature? Not at all. and
The Messenger wishes to take this oppor-
tunity to pay its compliments to Mr.
Leavens for the manner in which he has
conducted himself
No one undertakes to make Mr.. Ieav-
ems secure in his position. Not at all
Now the fish and game department is not
charged with being a political machine
1t hasn't developed governors and been
used to place candidates in high Office. Is
this the reason why no one shows the
same unusual consideration for Mr. Ieay-
ems as is sohwn Mr.. Bates. or is it because
MIR. LeavenS does not consider himself
superior to the governor and is not will
ing to turn heaven and earth to keep him
self in a job?
Such questions as these present them
selves to ones mind in the circumstances.
1t is not too late to present a bill making
the otlce of fish and game commissioner
elective. But if it were done now il
would be too obviously move by the high
way faction to save their faces If Mr..
Leavens had wanted such a bill there is
no doubt he had friends enough who would
have presented it.
So the highway bill is proven bv the
whole situation, so far as this paper can
see, to be private bill based on personal
grounds. Nothing was brought out at the

An appeal has been issued to the
newspapers of the country by Secretary
of War Baker, asking them to guard
against designating as 'ex-service men"
burglars. hold-up men and other crimi-
nails. without proper investigation. Mr..
Baker declares that the expression is be-
coming increasingly common and that in
many cases investigation would show
that the criminal had never been con-
nected with the nations armed forces.
Such an appeal would not have been is
sued without circumstances to warrant
it. and if carelessness has developed
along this line it should be checked
promptly. No greater wrong could be
done to the soldiers of this or any coun-
try than to create the impression that
any appreciate number of them have
drifted to violence and crime. Certainly
the newspapers, which have been with
and for the service men always, are
farthest from desiring to throw any un-
deserved stigma upon them and will fur
ther actively any campaign to prevent
such injustice.

The Final Analysis.
(AfOntnclier Arg1IS.1


Governor Hartncss takes a legislative
reunion body into his confidence and tells
them that he missed lot by not having
been a member of the house or senate
before he became governor. That is un-
doubtcdly true to a large extent. Ex-
perience in the Legislature gives one an
insight of the internal mechanism Of law
making. a working knowledge of thc in
Vulnerable conflicting opinions that cx-
lSt and that must be reconciled or re-
Jected, a gracious respect for the other
fellows opinion and the comradeShip Of
committee and house associations. Per-
hapS Mr.. Hardness has missed some of
these, but casting up the other side of
the ledger we find that all three of his
opponents in the gubernatorial race had
been members of the legislature. and
they knew all about these things, but
when it came to the final analysis at the
polls the people preferred the man from
Springfield, who would look ut state af-
fairs through the eyes of a layman.

4 BIRD CLUB.

4 bird club has just been organized
under the supervision of the garden club
of one of the biggest high schools in the
country. Having learned a good deal
about gardening, the gardeners now pro-
pose to study the birds as friends and
foes of those who till the soil Saturday
trips will be made to the country to OBJ
serve the ways of migratory birds.
The boys and girls may not learn any
thing very vital to their farming inter-
ests, but they will receive profit far be
yOnd any mere consideration of seeds
and greedy crows, or the true relation
of robins to angle worms. They are en-
barking on a lifelong study which may
be continued with delight and steadily
increasing interest from year to year.
Along with getting the out-of-doors habit,
they will accumulate lore of fields and
trees and sky and weather. They will
learn, with amazement, how many varie-
would swear that only robin and sparrow
are to be seen.
Such an interest is fine counterbal-
ance to narrowness, selfshness, i'll health
and morbid depression. Nobody can
watch the birds and not take unto him
self something of their cheer and practi-
cal philosophy. Perhaps the finest thing
about our modern schools is the variety
of ways in which they stimulate the
"hild's interest in the things that lie out
