two circumstances: In the first place, Mr. Muir's articles were dated letters, apparently without title or heading. The newspaper headings were therefore the work of the editor, and not at all likely to correspond with Mr. Muir's private memoranda. In the second place, through irregularities of the mails, or through accidents in the office, the letters did not always appear in the order in which they were written. In some cases they were delayed for months. Nevertheless the search was fairly successful. In the Californian files only four articles out of eighty-three remain undiscovered. Two of these, written in the Alaskan wilderness, probably never reached their destination. Files of the eastern newspapers concerned were not to be found in California, and, so far, attempts to have them searched in the East have not been successful. Four articles assigned to them must therefore remain for the present without verification. The alphabetical arrangement of the older list having proved unsatisfactory for the present purpose, it has been replaced by a serial arrangement in chronological sequence. The titles have been revised to correspond in general with the published headings, though, in certain cases where these seemed to give insufficient characterization, a more fitting title from Mr. Muir's list has been added or substituted. Dates in round brackets are the dates of writing, square brackets indicate that the article so included could not be found after diligent search. An asterisk indicates that the reference has not been verified because the files of the publication were not available for examination. I.

MUIR LODGE-AN APPRECIATION BY MARY FRANCES KELLOGG Of the worship due our western mountains, not a tithe has been paid. Nor does the finest homage come from tourists poured into resorts by swarming cities, but from the winnowed few who behold the snow-girdled peaks, the innumerable mountain lakelets and the myriads of flower-enameled, fern-brocaded meadows circled by majestic sequoias. And how many of these elect were imbued with enthusiasm by John Muir's matchless word-pictures! This above all is both his legacy to us and his own crown of glory—to have taught us his beauty-lore. So John Muir has no need of a memorial. Rather do we long to express, though never so inadequately, the thanks we owe him. From magnificent glaciers, and forests, and mountains, even down to our own modest mountain home, all borrow honor from his name. · If that which is essentially material; if that which makes easeful the mountaineer's toil; if that which cements friendships of the out-of-doors-if such may stand as an appreciation of one so predominantly of the spirit, who shunned no privation or hardship if it brought him into harmony with wildness, whose feet wandered so much alone and whose passionate search for understanding of the sculpturing of the ages found so few kindred souls-then Muir Lodge is, as intended, an appreciation of John Muir. Though he walked alone, he valued friendship as one of the finest of mortal possessions. Muir Lodge is a brief home for the wayfarer, ever urging beyond-on-on, up the wonder-trails leading over the heights and far within the mountain barriers. In its simple plainness it is appropriate. No complications of thought, language or character were his. All his life was as openly inspiring as one of his own books. John Muir could teach us because, like all great men, he exemplified a singleness of purpose-a perfect absorption in that to which he was dedicated. Because he himself reverently |
