AN OPEN LETTER

In reviewing Professor Barretts ar
ticle in Challis Messenger OF Marcn
1st issue entitled THE New Schooi
Building. it would perhaps, be perfect
ly proper to consider the proposition
from the ranchers' STANDPOINT alone.
Since this is essentially an agricul'
tural and stockralSing country Tue
preponderance of taxes tnat "ouiu oe
required, to finance TINS enterprise
would inevitably fall upon TINS lnuus-
try. As one then, belonging TO TINS
class and objecting to being more
heavily burdened with taxes az pres
emf time. | shall take issue with fIol'
Rarrett's article, and endeaVor 10
show the faliacy OF his reasoning.

viewed from a financial standpoint.

rel didn't see It. Tt takes a muscular response Co be visible Co the eyes of the wild things
 The squirrel crept slowly along the bench. stopping to SaiH. stopping to stare with one eye and another, Just devourpt From head Co tail with curl osiry. And then he leaped on Dams knee.
 He was quite convinced, by now. that this warm perch on which he stood was rhe most singular and in- teresring object Of his yoWg lie. It WIS true that he was faiuty worried by ,he smell that reached his nostrils. But all it really dId was further 10 in- cirr hfS curiosity He followed the leg un to the hip and then perchcd on the elbow. And an instant more he was poking a cold nose into Dams neck,
 But if the squirrel was excited hy an these developments, lis amazemcnt was nothing compared To Dams, IL had been the most astounding incl. dent in the mans life. He sat still, unrluC with delight And In a single flash of inspiration he knew he had come among his own people at last. He knew where he would spend his last six months 0f life
 His own grandfather had been a hunter and trappcr and froDticrsman in a certain vast hut little known Ore gon forest. His son had moved to the eastern cities. but In Dams garrett there used ,o he old mementocS and curios from these savage days-a few claws and teeth, and a fragment Of an old diary. Tho cu1 had come 10 him at last Trnderfuor though be was, Dan would go back 70 those forests, to spend hIS last six months Of life among inc wild creatures that made them their home
The daily Alaskan., 1922-03-07

He wanted to know fle name 0f some mountain rancher where possibly he mirhf find hoard and room for the re- raInder Of the summer and the Gall The further hack from the paths Of men. he wrote. the greater would be his pleasure. And he signed the wire with his fun name: Dan Failing with a Henry in the middle, and a TIT at the end.
 Re usually didn't sign his name ln quite this manner The people Of GItcheapolis did not have particular ly vivid memories Of Dams Erandfa- ther. But It nigh, he that a legend Of the gray. straight fronrIersmHH who was his ancestor had stIIl survived in these remote Oregon wnds- The use or the full name would do no harm
 Instead Of hurting, rt was a positive inspiration. The Chamber or Com merce of thc busy little Oregon city was not usually exceptionally inter estpd In stray hunters that wanted @ boarding place for the summer. Its business was finding country homes for orchardists in the pleasant river valleys. But it happened that the re cipienf of rhe wire wHs one Of rhe old est residents, a fronuerSman himself and If WIS one of the traditions of rhe old wcsr that friendships were nOt soon forgotten. Dan Failing ! had been a legend ln The old trapping and shooting days when this man was younc. So U came about that when Dams train stopped nc Cheyenne. he found a telegram waiting him:

Later he was to know the reason that the town. halfway between the sage plains and rhe mountains. hsf proSDrucf and changed its name He remembered rhar iJ was located on one or those great frcsh-wajer lakes 0f So-therr Oregon; SO giving up Jha' ~earch. he %e-au 10 look for lakes, He s>"ud them In U'guy-vasc, uumeas 1red lakes that seemed to be dlstrib- u,cd without reason or sense over the whole southern end of rhe state. Near the Klamath lakes. seemingly the most imposing Of al the f-csh-wateT lakes that the map revealed. he found a city named Klamath Falls. He put the name down in h5s notebook
 The map showed a particularly high, far-sprcadiug range of noun tains due west of the city. CT course they were rhe Cascades: the map said so very plainly. Then Dan knew he was getting home. His grandfather had lived and trapped and died in these same wooded hills. Finally he located and recorded the name Of the largest city on the main railroad line that was adjacent to the Cascades,
 The preparation for his departure took many days. He read many books on flora and rauna. He bought sport ing equipment Knowing the usual ratio between the respective pleasures of anticipation and realization, he did not hurry himself at all And one midnight he boarded a west-bound train.
 He sat for a long time tn the vest- huIe Of the sleeping car, thinking in anticipation Of this final adventure Of his life. He was rather tremulous and exultant as he sank down into his berth
 He saw to 1t that at least a meas ure of preparation was made for his coming. That nigh, a long wire went out to the Chamber Of Commerce of one Of the larger southern Oregon cities In It. he told the date of his arriIal and asked certain directions

Bushy-tan was not paruculurIy afraid of the human beings that passed up and down the park, because he had learned by experience that they usually attempted no harm to him. But. nevertheless, he had his instincts. He didn't entirely trust them. After several generations, probably the squirrels of this park would climb all over its visitors and Snifr in their ears and investigate the back of their necks. But this wasn't the way of Bushy-tun. He had come too recent ly from the wild places. And he won dered. most intensely, whether this tall, forked creature had a pocket full of nuts. He swung down on the grass to see.
 "why, you little devil!" Dan said in whisper, His eyes suddenly

sparkIed with delight And he forgot all about the doctors words and his own prospects in his bitter regrets that he had not brought pockeItul Of uurS.
 And then Dan did a curious thing. Even later. he didn't know why he 6.7 ft. or what gave him the idea tha, he could decOy the squirrel up Co him ny doing it That was his only purpose iuSt 10 see how close the squirrel would come 10 him, He thought he would like to look into the bright eyes ar close range Al he did was SUI" denly 10 freeze Ia'o one pOSItiou-'n an instant rendered as motionlcsS aS the rather QuestiOnahle-lOOkng So0' stork that was perched on the fouo- tain.
 The squirrel was very close 10 him, and Dan seemed to know by instinct that the movement of a single muscle would give him away So he sat as if he were posing hefore photogra- nbpr's camera. The fact that he was able to do it is in itself important It Is considerably easier to exercise with dumh-bells for five minutes than to sIt absolutely without motion for rhe same length of time Hun'"'S and naurallsts acquire the ar' w..h trsiuiug. IL WAS therefore rather GU rious that Dan succeeded so well 'hr first time he tried iJ. He had sense enough to relax first, before he froze. Thus he didn't put such a severe strain on his muscles.
 The squirrel after ten seconds had elapsed, stood on his launches 10 see better. First he looked a long time with his left eye. Then he turned his head and looked very carefully with his right. Then he backed of short distance and tried to get a focus with both. Then be came some half-dozrn steps nearer.
 A moment before he had been cer- tain that living Creature-in fact one of the most terrible and powerful living creatures in the world-had been sitting on the park bench. Now his poor little brain was completely added. He was entirely ready ro be lieve that his eyes had deceived him,
 Bushy-tan drew of little further, fully convinced at last that his hopes of a nut from a child'S hand were blasted. But he turned to look once more. The figure still sat utterly tn- crt. And all at once he forgot his de vUuring hunger in the face of an over whelming curiosity.
 He came somewhat nearer and looked long time. Then he made a half-cIrcle about the bench, turning his head as he moved. He was more puzzled than ever, but he was no longer afraid. His curiosity had be- come so intense that no room for fcor was left. And then ke sprang upon the park bench.
 Dan moved then. The movement consisted of a sudden heiGhteninC of tue light D LIs eyes. But the -sQgir ~-~

It ls not very difficult to tell which way man Is going. and what his drSri- nation is.
