Climate is a mere matter of pure air. What's the good in climate if it's smoked and burned? Any clean climate, hot or cold, is better than any soiled climate, hot or cold.
Marketable material, pure air, and pure water are the three big concerns of life; man isn't worthy of being included in the list of important things because he destroys these three mighty essentials. Material makes man more than man makes material.
Man's energy and egotism couldn't get a footing without marketable material. What the world needs is less of vain man and more plain market stuff.
Save the woods and waters.
CHAPTER IX
TROUT AND TROUTING
"A day with not too bright a beam;
A warm, but not a scorching, sun."
Charles Cotton
