The Petted Vacationist
When John Muir was up among
his mountains nothing else mat-
tered, says Collier's. He could
roll out cheerfully after a night
in the rain, no wood dry enough
to burn for a breakfast fire, eat
a cold snack with some mountain
spring water to flavor it, and go
gladly on his way through the
soaking underbrush, his heart
fairly singing within him for the
mystic fragrances of the woods
and the music of the rains. He
could get up in the dead of night
when a more than usnally prom-
ising storm had thundered in
from the Pacific and leave his dry
shelter to build a safe tire in open
space that he might see the rag-
ing sway of the gale and hear its
tremendous symphony. No cliff
work or peak climbing, however
severe, could blunt his Joy in the
marvelous blossoms of the upper
A liridi/e South ot Crescent
Elsewhere in this issue is the
Excise Board's levy for the brjdgi
and road work to be done in Lo
gan county. This is a more lib-
eral levy than uianv expected
and is sufficient to cover the ex-
pense of this much needed
bridge which will now undoubt-
edly be built.
This bridge will he of great
benefit to Crescent and to the
farmers south of the river.
Crescent is their natural trading
point, and with a bridge its mar-
kets will be open to them at all
times. With the roads fixed up
as they should tie, and the bridge
built, a large section of country
will be added to the Crescent
trade district

Mr. C. Coffin is on the sick list
Mr. Fred Green had to have
places. Ail this may sound like hia eye operated <m last week
bluff, but the reality of it is
proved in a hundred passages,
straight from the heart, that
shine out in Muir's writings with
the gleam of pure gold set in
granite. No doubt he was an
athlete, gifted with a physical
constitution beyond the ordinary,
but the deeper truth of it is tnat
the message of the natural world,
n which many of us pass but dull
days, had so gone home to John
Muir's soul that there was no
place there for the blight of wear-
iness and self pity. He was alive.
How many of us deserve a vaca-
tion anyhow?—Ex.
