The purpose of this Chi nese force Is to Join up with Stll . well at Myltkylna, thus reopen ing the Burma road. IN eastern China, the Japs are still pushing south toward Can ton, their obvious purpose being to cut off all of eastern China from us preventing us from us ing it as a base from which to attack Japan.?

Such articles brook, who produces such intriguing folklore of the Far West) has in the June issue of The American Mercury should be 'suppressed. ' Iri. these days when we are trying to keep our Jriihdi centered upon our work, while labouring under all kinds of handicaps, Holbrook's article, "The Guy Who Named Tombstone," is a morale wrecker of the worst type He recalls EJd Schiefflin's stuff here in Oregon that will make Tombstone look like salt. This is GOLD!" And he reminds us of the map left by the dying nephew of the famed Tombstone discoverer the undecipherable map of a lost mine that for years has of prospectors. . And now with the days taking on the breath of coming summer, with the wild flowers in full bloom, with trout rising lazily to flies, Stewart Holbrook lures' our minds away from workaday humdrum to seek the footprints of the hardy pioneer who forsook his paths through the tall firs of verdant mountains, wooing the fickle dame whom he once had won but lost again. Holbrook's introduction reads:' - '. "When the water gets low In the streams of Douglas county, Oregon, late this summer, twenty, perhaps fifty, old prospectors will converge int,o the region to look once again for Ed Schiefflin's lost mine. They have been at it now for almost twenty years, and the war and manpower situation has had little effect on the genuine old-style prospector, the one-mule, one-pick man, the kind that has been looking for the Schiefflln mine. Therc are far too many 'lost' mines in Oregon and elsewhere in the West. Most of them are likely figments of Imagination in the minds of men who have lived alone too long. Lone men get that way. But the Schiefflln affair Is founded on something more solid than the wishful Imaginings of hill goofy prospectors. Ed Schiefflln was anything but a goof, and there can -be little doubt but that he had struck an other rich lodee when he was removed from the scene." From the time Ed Schiefflin was 12 years old in 1862, he sought precious metals. For ing that could arouse interest. Then in 1877 he struck the mountain of silver that became the Tombstone mine in Arizona, starting one of the many mining stampedes. Ed and his brother, Gird, apiece, while a third partner Ed traded some of his dollars later built two great mansions in neither of them. In January, 1897, he Jaid clothes, dressed in his old to Oregon, fhere as a boy he had panned for gold along -the Nptfe'Umptiua river. ' On May 12, 1897, a hunter found his body on the floor of his to Tombstone for a funeral seen before. Ed Schiefflin left a niap, dying on the fields of Verdun, gave to a soldier friend. But the map is of a local area starting point. Since publication 18 years ago, prospec tors have tried in vain to orient the crude design. Someday, perhaps, a graybearded prospector will stum ble on the traces of Ed Schiefflin's prospect hole. Person ally, we don't expect to seek the lost mine. Since the day we raced back to camp with a handful of "fool's gold," we have had no interest in prospecting. But as we sit here at a scarred and battered desk, smelling printer's ink and the fumes of hot metal, and with the dis cordant sound of presses, linotypes, teletypes and telephones beating in our ears, Holbrook s story of Ed Schiefflin and his lost mine produce longings not in lino with efficient pro duction. . We can see the tall firs reaching into the hcavens. We can sco in mind's eye the flowering dogwood and tho purple lilacs on the hillside. We can see the mossy rock beside the pool where trout feed in tho still depths and occasionally break the mirrored surface to seizo a drifting fly. We can smell the perfume of flowers and budding trees, the aroma oi a distant hardwood fire, borne on a caressing breeze. We hear tho songs of birds cascading through the leafy branches, the chirp of insects, the hum of bees. In imagination we lie quietly upon tho green bank .oi)' the. river 'and , our fancy follows tho ridge, up and up, to the towering rim roclt where, were we not too lazy to look, might lie the fabulous mine, where as Moses was given his glimpse into tho Prom ised Land, Ed Schiefflin experienced that thrill of discovery before his tired and weary' heart beat its last. Perhaps up that ridge lies wealth. Who knows? Darn that guy Holbrook! We've got work to do. Speakers Dated at T-B Assn. Meet in Roseburg Captain Wm. R.

"Shut-in" Day Deeds Urged by Governor Snell SALEM, June 1 Governor Snell Wednesday called atten tion of Oregon residents to "Shut-In day," Sunday, June 4. The purpose of this observance, national In scope, is to encourage year-round romemlirniico of the permanently and temporarily dis abled.

More State Funds Sought For Schools Oregon Teachers Launch Move to Put Issue Up To Voters in November SALEM, Ore., May 31 (AP) An amendment to Oregon's con stitution which would .result In the state assuming approximately 58 per cent of the school support burden probably will come up for the voters' approval in. the No vember general election. To reach the ballot, the bill must be supported by some 15,000 signatures on a petition by July 1. The measure is sponsored by the Oregon State Teachers asso ciation. In brief, the constitutional amendment would Increase .the state contribution to school sup port from $7,363,139.06 to $12,- 722,976.76 (based on 1942-43 school attendance figures), off set local property taxes $8,000,- 000 a year, absorb the present elementary school fund of $2, 000,000 a year, and would pro vide $2,359,837.70 in new funds for school purposes. Specifically, it asks for 45 cents per child per day of attendance in public elementary and secondary schools. It also would incorporate and make permanent the present $5,000,000 annual state school support fund which will exist only so long as a state income tax fund surplus remains. Would Equalize burden . Teachers argue that the state Is the only unit through which new sources can be taxed for op erating schools and that the bur den of taxation for school sup port should bo equalized through out the state. The amendment merely provides that the state shall furnish the funds; methods of raising and distributing the money are left to the state legis lature. Three possible methods of dis tribution are: (1) According' to school census (present county fund is administered this way); 12) 't eacher unit method in which so much is allotted per teacher in the district (present state ele mentary fund is handled this way); and (3) So much per day attendance (state's present $5, 000,000 school fund is apportion ed this way), J. Possible Kicks Foreseen t Several objections may arise over the proposal before election time rolls around, Its supporters oelieve. Main kick probably would be that the bill changes the constitution. Secondly, no source Is named and taxpayers may tear a new property tax levy to help raise funds. Such a levy, however, would be equal throughout the state and would not fajl hard upon any particular ! district. ; , The OSTA purposely left out the method for raising the funds ! because it did not want-any onei particular source named in thei constitution. The state legislature) might want to use several mcth-i ods and vary them according to I conditions. More state support for Oregon i schools has long been a project i of the OSTA. In March of this year the organization voted to sponsor a constitutional amend- ment, upon recommendation of a! committee that had studied thei problem in ull parts of the state. If voters approve tho measure. OSTA will have to follow up with bins to implement the amend ment at the 1915 legislative ses sion, t More State Aid Asked Passaro of the nmnnrlmnnt would climax a fight by the OSTA for more state support of public Schools. Five years ago the state supplied nothing for the support of schools except tho state irreducible school fund Of around $321,000, which came from the schools lands anyhow. Practically nil nf tho S9n.9l nnn. 000 required annually to run the scnoois came from local proper ly taxes. In 1911 the OSTA suc cessfully promoted an Initiative that provided that all surplus in come tax receipts should go to the schools. The legislature amended lhl to make It $5,000,000 a year to onset local taxes as long as there ore surplus tax funds. The 55,000,000 in addition to the elementary school fund of slightly more than $2,000,000 fur nished by the state since 1941-42 brought the total state support up to 30 per cent In 1943-44. OSTA feels, however, that the state should pay nt least 50 per cent 5r the cost. Neighboring states of Washington and California paid iU.3 and 47.8 per cent, respective ly, in 1910 and probably pay even more now. Dr. B.
