Miller, of Tillamook, .Oregon, and you'll speak to his soul, for this kindly man fa a lover of these gol den flowers and delights even moro In the plensure that they bring to others. Kach year, when the area sur rounding Tillamook Bay off the Pa cific Ocean Is daintily tinted with thousands of rich yellow blossoms, Mr. Miller loads the rear of his car with hundreds of freshly picked daffodils and a few boxes of huckleberry sprips and departs for Portland on a unique mission of presenting the flowers to his friends. This sprlnff, Mr. Miller set out on his annual floral pilgrimage with fourteen hundred daffodils of the King Alfred variety true aristocrats of the flower kingdom pleasure It Is t raise beautiful flower for other people," com merited Mr. Miller.

WHEEL OF FATE MAY CRUSH TOWN Kerby, Ore., Established in lo4, May Become the Bed of Big Lake. GRANTS PASS. Ore. ( AP) The wheel of fate in a?uln spinning for Kerhy, Oreson. mlnlni; town with a past. The old gold camp, tuck ed away in tho ore-locked moun tain of Southern Oregon, la uftaln ! being revived for. public Inupec- tion. Am In the gold loro dayn of three quarters of a century ago, tho town of one- hundred Ih being pushed on page one bocauso men flense riches. Itut this time, should the an nounced intentions of the capital ists ho completed, there will be no aftermath of hard hearted men and hard faced women,; there will lie no Kuloons wnero pay dirt may be exchanged for liquor: there will be no. plot' set aside near tho townsllo where only the select few who died with their boots on might be burled. Will Doom Kerby This time. If present plans are carried out, tho wheel of fate will spin out the doom of Kerby. Kerby, tho first rniiip ln South ern Oregon, It Is said, where the mericun flag was unfurled from a permanent flag staff, will lie under a hundred feet of water; ivcruy, tho first county seat ot Josephine county where United Slates greenbacks were cashed for three fourths of their face value will bo brushed aside that a great hydro-electric dam Impounding (10,000,000 gallons of water mlcht create a child of science electric power; Kerby, probably the only mining site In tho world where a cemetery was CKtt.lshcd to re- celvo only the bodies of those who (lied with their boots on, will bo n tho back washes of the great man made lake stretching for 1 miles along tho valley and lapping ht the frosted peaks of mountains where once stampeded gold crimed men. To Kerby, this time, tho coming of hordes means tho coming of he end. Kstnbllsliecl in isr. I No site in Soul hern Oregon probably has locked in Its past more Incidents associated with the days of the west than Kerby. Jh tabllsheil In ISM, about the time! ot the great wave of mining, pros- j peetors and camp sharks first I swept Into the valley, thn town that Is about to bo placed at tho bottom of a lake was named Ker byville. It was a commonplace berg, as camp sites went. It was outstanding In no particular way. It had Its saloons, Its gambling halls with its sharpers. Its dance halls and It had Its killings. Any lining town had that much, so that historians found llttlo (o re cord that might bo of unusual In terest to. uoniing generations.' In tho musty records of .lose- phlmi county It Is recorded tho camp was named In honor of an early pioneer, John Kerby. A few years later the state legislature undertook to change the name of tho camp to Korbyvllle; legally it became Napoleon. Tho residents never accepted the new name even though tho United Slates postal de partment did. So miners had their mail addressed to Kerbyvlllo nnd it was up to tho mall clerk to know that the town might bo Na poleon to. statesmen but plain Kerbyvlllo. to citizens. Oimu Mncl liOUU People At ono time Kerby boasted ap proximately 2.000 people. Now It has less than 100. according to the census. In tho days gono hv when human blood was splashed aiid gold was splendor, thoso who ever received mall from the east were forced to. pay 1'5 cents extra deliv ery charges. The samo applied to outgoing mail. Gold was the medium of exchange. Currency was discounted ;r. per cent if ac cepted at all. Food was high and good peaches. It is recorded, often sold for u dollur for three. Hut that Is Kerby"s past. Tho future, if phi lis to make Southern Oregon a gathering point for electric power, lies in the hands of tho Klclshhackcr. the "W'ebsters and the stones. It is said tho firm of Stone and Web- sier oi iiosion and tno JSan Fran cisco banker aro behind tho plan to spend 5,0o0.000 for the greatest single power enterprise ever suggested along thu l'ucil'lu coast. Asldo from tho great lake along Ihe slK.rcs of which probably will bo dotted hundreds of summer cottages, thero will be five hydro electric plants from which. It Is said, will be generated enoin.-h power to turn the wheels of In dustry for half the I'aciric coast. Water will be inverted from the great reservoir to five plants. l no announcement crcened Into.
