Salvation for the

Announcing the Oregon

Formulated by civil war hero

We will build a road of

stretching from here to
Boise City and from there

it's the garment mills of NY,
the slaughterhouses of Chicago

the apparel from France.

Shorter than any route ever

Gentlemen, we 100 men or more.

- Won't find that many men

A tonic squeezed from the plant

We're talking about
labor, not refreshment.

But those you will
find most refreshing.

The problem isn't the men

the problem is their

ability to work a full day.
Their lackluster effort.

What we need is something to
give them strength, the energy

they need to put their back into
their work, and keep their mind
off their own lives.

Surely they can build one

I shall take sick.

We can place an advertisement

for a machine if you'd
like, Mr. Fulton.

Hold a contest, though no one
west of the Mississippi could
build one.

You'll wait a year before such a
contraption could be set to
work.

- If it ever worked at all.
- There's no need.

No need to list the
contest in Santiam.

- Don't want Shay at the
newspaper sticking his nose in
it. - Quite right.

Fochs, you've gotten
me quite excited.

- Col Hogg? - Have your clerk
draw up a leaflet

for a machine contest and
telegraph the newspapers in NY.

- I will. - Bully idea for a
machine, Mr. Fulton.

I think it will do. I
think it will do it!

It will work. It must work!

- We need a machine that will do
the work of 10 men. - 20 men!

I agree, gentlemen! A
machine is the answer!

You were against it before.

Yes, well, not now. I
feel it's a great idea.

- Yes, a great idea! - Are you
feeling better, Mr. Parker?

Yes, quite! I must say!

- Invigorated!
- No lethargy, Col Hogg?

Quite extraordinarily, no!

Here is the answer to get the
labor from the men we need.

We cleared it, didn't we.

Why?

Railroad men hired us to do it.

They say when the road's open

- I hardly think it's that bad.
- You watch, Amos.

A machine like
that could decimate

an entire forest in a day.

Tom is foolish, but
he's not destructive.

What other purpose does he
think that contraption serves?

He's trying to raise

money for another
invention of his.

Some pile of gears
that he says....

will predict the future.

I can see the future
as clear as your eye.

Fochs and his ilk

have these people bamboozled.

If you were to tell them
true patriots live outdoors

and only anarchists live in

They need education.

Even if that means classes

I hardly think the uneducated

Not beguiled

You're awake!

- Where have you been?
- Late night at the newspaper.

I was worried sick.
Halden is finally asleep.

- Halden is here?
- He's been up all night.

- I was about to come looking
for you. - Your father's
personal affairs are none of

How's Halden? - I found him
freezing on the trail.

He's been drinking some sort of
tonic he got from the other wood
cutters.

I bet I know who gave it to him.

Fochs? You didn't tell me
you'd be out all night.

- What am I supposed to think
happened to you? - You played
right into his hands.

Fochs.

That contraption you built for
him isn't for cutting a trail.

I know.

Crocker's team is surveying up
from California right now,
gentlemen.

If we don't get this railroad
built by this summer our
prospects are lost.

What about that tree
machine you mentioned?

- We'll have to modify his
contraption, gentlemen. -
Another bungled attempt?

- Oh no, it works quite
effectively. - Is he a Russian?

He's invented a means to
concentrate the light

from the sun in order to
generate the steam power.

He's boiling water in the sun?
That's nearly impossible.

- That's remarkable.
- Not quite.

Along with his invention to
harvest trees, he's also
invented a reason to no longer
need the trees.

He's not burning
wood in the boiler?

Entirely heated by the sun.

And his solar collecting device
can be adapted for almost any
machine.

- Where's the profit in that?
- There isn't any.

What sort of a fool invents an
idea without considering the
margins?

- A dangerous sort, this man. -
The economy would collapse
without turning a profit.

- What if others got a hold of
this invention? - You can't let
this fester.

- Indeed. This man is a radical
anarchist. - How will you put a
stop to it.

Call in the army.

There's no need.
He's only one man.

There's another way.

He can't have it! Or my plans.
Some people do the worst things

Put that in your newspaper.

- Front page, last edition.
- Going out of business?

No, going into business,
with your father.

- Dad? - We're going to start a
night time university.

- So people can read the
newspaper. - You mean like
Halden?

We might even accept him as
our first graduate student.

He barely has any
education at all.

- But has a thirst for
education. We were thinking of
talking to him about teaching.

Teaching? He wouldn't want that.

Really, Tom? You of all people
should know what Halden wants.

You're going to college.

Yes?

- I thought you'd moved on.
- I'm not that easily deterred.

I'm here to award you the prize.

Pity. There was a fatal
flaw in the design.

You're not getting a
contraption from me.

The machine simply
blew itself up.

- I see. And what of the
designs? - They were all
destroyed in the fire.

But you could recreate them.

Especially the design for the
solar collecting device.

Yes.

That's what I wish to speak with
you about. I see a bright
future...

with that contraption of yours,
harnessing the power of the sun.

Very inventive. I wish
to purchase the patent.

With a guarantee of royalties
with every usage of the device.

- Say 20%?
- It's worth more than that.

- 25%.
- Not interested.

Prof. Foolery thinking of the
benefits to humanity your
invention brings.

Yes, I could see the usefulness.

All right!

My investors will
never forgive me. 40%.

With 2 conditions.

The railroad and all
those you associate with

will stop handing out that
tonic poison to your workers.

That is a most
unusual condition.

- I don't see how it relates. -
You've got them so hopped up
they don't know when to stop.

You're a businessman, Mr. Fochs.
Stick to business.

Leave the pharmaceuticals
to doctors.

- We're simply doing our best to
insure the future of mankind. -
No quibbling.

Stop distributing the bottle
or you don't get the patent.

What's the second condition?

Your railroad will grant
the land with a building

to a university to be
established here in Santiam.

I never accounted

for your business
acumen, professor.

My hat's off to you.

Fochs wants the solar
collecting device!

That's wonderful, sir! - At long
last I invented something
useful.

Doesn't matter what anyone else
thinks of you, I love you.

- Did he accept?
- With conditions.

- School house for a university.
- Here? How impractical.

- He wants what? - We have
plenty of land, it's no matter.

He also insists that we stop
delivering tonic to the workers.

What business is it of his?

We dare not let his solar
collecting device reach the
public.

Most peculiar man.

What if we no longer called it a
tonic. What if we offered it...

with fizzy water, as a soda
fountain beverage. - As a soda
fountain beverage?

Add sugar. Give
it a catchy name.

- Design a unique bottle for it.
- That could work.

The railroad would no longer
be in the tonic business.

Brilliant!

Instead everyone would
have to buy it from us!

Do you suppose we should
name the solar collector

after him - as a gesture?

Yes, we may as well
call it 'Tom Foolery.'
