The Home of the Whispering Pine:
Twas in July, the year of %,
The little cabin was built
FOR those who are tired and weary,
And those who can't make il
through.
The sixteen miles in winter
With the snow piled white and
deep,
Are like sixty miles in summer
Over trails and places steep.
The Pines that stand around
They are always the same
They whisper, you can hear them,
And they gave it its name.
The voice of the old Pines mingle
With that of the little stream,
Here no poet has come to write a
verse
Nor an artist to sit and dream.
'Tis the mail carrier boys that it shell
tiers
During the long bitter months of
snow
But skiing with pack of mail on
their back
To Atlanta have to go.
Sometimes when the days are cloudy
And the night is promising snow
The. lights are lit and the boys start
out
With the mail that is due to go.
After many long hours of travel
Their eyes fall on the sign;
One glad cry escapes their lips,
cts the home of the Whispering
Pines"
To the summer campers who are
To the summer campers who are
passing
The whispering there may seem
strange
But such sounds as those, they are
common
Anywhere on the Sawtooth range.
To you travellers who are passing
All stop and see the sign
lis the halfway mark, don't miss it,
The home of the Whispering
Pines.
There are other places that you see
But this is in spot,
Ills the home of the Whispering
Pines,
In the land that God forgot.

came mostly mud. Within "a hours.
Senator Howell, who was manager
man In Omaha. He was charged
with being absolutely responsible for
the muddy water. lie was accused
of starving the plant for the sake OF
advertising n large surplus in his
campaign for senator. The board of
directors OF the Metropolitan Utilities
district were called upon to discharge
him Immediately.
Locally at that time there was as
much feeling against me as against
DENLY" he said. If the board of d.
rectors had taken the same action
toward me at that time that the
senate has taken against DENLY. !
would have been disgraced to GER
tain extent.
Instead, the board waited until a
thorough investigation was made.
Then it had an open hearing. The
esult of that hearing is well known
In Omaha.
Mind you, ] am not holding a brief
for DENLY. But l do demand fair
trial for a man, the same as was
given to me"
Those in touch with the situation
in Omaha remember that the inves-
tigation revealed washing Of water
basins had been neglected. unknown
to Howell, and a mud valve had been
opened at the water plant at Florence
permitting thousands of gallons OF
precious water to escape Into the
river when II was so soreIy needed in
cleansing the water basins.
It will be remembered further that
Howell did't even then demand dis
charge OF any one. lie awaited the
Investigation when everything was
explained in public. designations In

That for Howell to take such a
stand required courage is best known
to those In Washington. With the
exception OF Curtis of Kansas. there
wasn't man in the farm belt who
didn't vote the other way.
