DARN THAT GUY HOLBROOK
By Charles
COR once we are in favor of
I censorship. 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.

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.
