BY ADPISON BENNETT.
I
N JIY last article I stated that I
would next take up the Illinois
and its tributaries in Josephine i
county, but before doing that I have
two slight corrections to make in the
last article. I stated that Brockman
creek and Bummer creek flowed into
Rogue river. They flow into Jump-Off-Joo
near its confluence with the
Rofrue. There are also a couple of
typographical errors, both in the
name of Rocky Gulch; it is printed
Rock Gulch in both places.
I failed to tabulate the length of
the small streams on the Rogue and
Applepate In Josephine county, so I
will give it here. There are 92 of
these un-named streams tributary to
the Applegate and 245 tributary to
the Rogue in that county, with a
lencrth of about 315 miles.
The Illinois river flows into Curry
county from Josephine at the inter
section of the confluence of Collier
creek and the line dividing the two
counties. This point is 31 miles north
of the California line. Going up the
Illinois on the left the first named
stream is Florence creek, 1 miles;
Pine, 2',i miles; Clear, Hi miles; Sol-j
dier. 6Vt miles; Briggs, a branch of
Soldier, 9 mites,, and the following
branches of Briggs: Onion, ii miles;
Butcher, 4 miics; i'ecret, 3 miles, and
Horse, 2 miles.
Cwk Flows AVest of Selma.
Kxt is Six-Mile. ZVi miles: Deer,
which flows in four miles west of
Selma. 12 miles to the confluence of
its north and south forks, 4'i miles
eiist of Dryden. (Nearly all, if not
all, of the territory gone over in this

N MIDSUMMER, when the day Is
and an uphill climb seems tor
tile biker is prone to make
sundry harsh and ungrateful remarks
concerning the persons responsible
for laying out the trail over which he
Is traveling. Perhaps If this same
Impatient hiker went over the same
routes in the early spring he would
find other faulLs to complain of, for
he would be lucky If he found muen
of a trail at all.
Tho Trails club is the organization
to which Is dne thanks for mainte

as the Illinois valley.) First named
creeu on left is Clear, 6 miles, which
is Vi mile southwest of yelrua:
Squaw, a branch of Clear, is 1
miles. Next is Draper, of a mile
east of Selma, which is 4 miles
lonp: Crooks, 6 miles, comes in near
Dryden, then Upper and Lower Squaw,
2 miles for both, then North For.
2 'A miles, and South Fork, miles.
On the.riKht side of Deer, l'A miles
west of Selma. is McMullin, 6Vi miles;
Thompson. 6 miles.. The latter flows
in near Dryden.
Next above Deer, on the left. Is
Reeves, 3 miles, then 2fe miles south
of Kerby is East Fork. 13 miles. It
rises in California. This fork has
these branches Chapman, 3 'A miles;
Sucker. 22 miles, its rise being- near
the California line, about S miles west
of Jackson county. Sucker has the
following branches: On left, Kelley,
2i miles; McLean, Vi miles; Little
Grayback. 3 miles; Grayback, 7 miles.
(This creek is not named on ' the
maps, but as it rises close to Gray
back mountain and flows into Sucker
creek miles south of Little Gray
back, and has three named branches,
I think it must be locally known as
Grayback creok.) Its branches are
Little, 1 mile; Fall, 1 mile, and Elk.
l'i miles.
Readers following these articles
have no doubt noticed the duplica
tion of creek names In the sam
county, and some may think I have
erred in such names. But I think
not. And there will be more dupli
cations in counties yet to come. 'You
will discover one instance in Jackson
county, when we reach it. where there
are two larga streams of the same
name flowing into the Rogue near
each other, but one from the north
and the other from the south.
Stream Rloes Xear Caves.
One miles above Grayback Is Cave,
5 miles long. This stream rise3 near
the wonderful Josephine caves, which
trails that have been blocked by
fallen trees and landslides.
The big work planned for this sea
son is the opening of a new scenic
route to Larch mountain, which is to
be not more than a mile longer than
the present difficult one up Multno
mah creek. It is generally the cus
tom to climb the mountain at nighs
in order to view the surprise, and tho
present trail ia extremely difficult to
traverse without lights, as it first
Koes up the faiie and then down a
daik canyon. There is no view to be
had until one reaches the summit.
To make tho trip more attractive,
the Trails club has blazed a new pn

will one day be one of the greatest at
tractioi s for the tourists that we
have in Oregon. Unfortunately the
government has thus far done next to
nothing for these caves, if we except
the establishment of a reserve to pro
tect them from nomadic marauders.
Limestone is the next stream above
Cave, which is 2,,i miles long, then
Left Fork, which is 4 miles, and a
branch of Left Fork, Brush, is 1 mile
long. On the right of Sucker there
ore no named streams for many
miles, the first being Boliin Gulcn, 5
miles long, which is only five miles
north of the California line. Between
that and the state line are two small
named streams, Grizzly Gulch, 14
miles, and Tanner creek, 1 miles.
On the left of the East Fork there
is but one named branch. Page creek
2Vs miles, which is only 2 miles
north of California.
Going up the West Fork on the left
there is no named stream; on the
right is but one. Rough and Ready
which flows in 2Vz miles northwest
of Waldo. It is 10'4 miles long. Go
ing up the Illinois on the right from
the Currv county line, the first named
stream is Klondike, 6H miles, then
Dailey, 3 miles: Rancheria, KVz miles;
Fall, 4 miles: Hoover, 2 miles; Mike's

This stream has three feeders flow

Day's Gulch, 2Vi miles; Fiddler Gulch,
3 miles: Canyon, 4 miles. About
two milea northwest of Waldo is
Rough and Ready creejt, 11 miles.
There are a few named streams In
that vicinity which are branches or
feeders of streams not named. One
of these flows into the West Fork,
4 miles west of Holland, about a
mile west of Althouse, near the mouth
of Sucker creek. Its named branch
is Democrat Gulch, 3 miles long. The
parent stream is undoubtedly Alt

Volunteers Are Needed,
Only the blazing has been finished
and a portion cf tne present trail io

issued for volunteers with axes ani
picks, who are willing to go up on
the 7:30 train this morning and assist

The Trails cluij was organized
about 1915, when it erected a shelter
on the top of Larch mountain. Tiis
was practically destroyed by vanciiiis
last winter and will have to be ro
built. Members of the club are anx
ious to see more of these shelters
built.

SQUARE DEAL IS ASKED
Father of ex-Soldier Declares Oth
ers Get Land Preference.
UMATILLA, Or., March 19. (To the
Editor.) In The Oregonian of March
10, James Convill of the American
Legion Is quoted as saying that con
gress had done nothing for the ex
service men, which in my estimation
Is true.
As a father of a boy who did his
bit for his' country as a volunteer, and
as a homesteader who has proved up
on a government homestead several
years ago, I desire to add my appro
val to what Mr. Convill has said and
also at the same time to enter my
emphatic disapproval of the way con
gress has treated the boys who vol
untarily gave the government several
years of their best manhood and who
at the same time were willing if
necessary to make the supreme sacri
fice in order to preserve this country
of ours, which is composed of the peo
ple and is presumed to be ruled by
the people for the people, who believe
in the principles of Washington and
Lincoln.
I, myself, 10 years ago bet Uncle
Sam' five years of hard labor and
over J1000 against 80 acres of govern
ment land that I could not be starved
out In five years.
Fortunately with the aid of my

family and my growing boy wo won
the bet and Uncle Sam gave me a
patent to 80 acres of land.
At the same time my son was ar
riving at the age of maturity, look
ing forward to the time when he
could file on some of Uncle Sam's
land and thereby make a home for
himself.
Juet at -the time that he became of
age, and was therefore eligible to file
on a piece of government .land, wo
were brought into the great world
war and the call was sent broadcast
throughout the land for volunteers.
So my son, along with thousands of
other sons, volunteered his services
to the United States navy and did his
bit to discourage, the enemy on the
water.
Some time after the war was ended
he got his honorable discharge and
came back home, minus several of the
best years of his life, to find, what?
To find that while he was giving
Uncle Sam all of his time and the best
that was in him for less than half
a laborer's wage, thousands of other
young men as physically fit as him
self had rushed into the shipyards
to dodge the draft, serving the gov
ernment for from 16 to $12 a day of
eight hours and some of them had
never earned that much in a week
before.
And now we come to the most ln-
comprehendable part of governmental
ingratitude and stupidity.
Some of these shipyard workers
were allowed to file on the identical
pieces of land that my son and other
volunteers were not permitted to file
on for two specific reasons: First, the
shipyard worker, earning his $10 and
$12 a day, had the price of the gov
ernment filing fee which the volun
teer at $1 a day of 24 hours had not;
second, it was a stipulation of the
government, first come first served,
which upon the face of it, looked fair
enough.
The shipyard worker comes home
from work at 4 P. M., goes to bed
early, has a night's sleep and is down
camping on the doorstep of the land
office before daylight, while the naval
volunteer at Bremerton, Wash., is not
even allowed a day off to go and file.
The above is not hearsay, but an
actual fact; the writer speaks from
personal knowledge. While he does not
wish to say that all shipyard work
ers were workshirkers, it fell to his
lot as a time-keeper at the Standi
fer steel shipyard to turn over to
the chief guard more than one able
bodied shirker to be taken care of
that he had found hiding in the yard
to dodge work.
The writer can cite specific cases
where men who dodged the draft and
in one particular case, a man who
mocked the flag and United States
soldiers, was able to prove up on a
homestead.
Another that dodged the draft and
earned big money in the shipyards
was able to be In Portland when the
railroad land was thrown open and
get his pick of the best piece in a
whole community.
And worse still, an alien enemy
holds down a position as a sub-foreman
in a shipyard and proves up on a
homestead, while my son and others
come home from the war and are
hypocritically offered 40, 80, 120 or
160 acres of fern hills at the very
cheap price of $2.50 an acre, plus all
the expenses of filing, surveying, lo
cating, filling out affidavits, etc., and
also to be laughed at behind their
backs by men who are now miracu
lously healthy, but who at the time
of the draft were subject to enough
aches and pains to kill a mule.
And then congress comes out In
print with the excuse for not passing
laws favorable to ex-service men be
cause they know the boys would not
like to accept something for nothing,
or words to that effect.
The boys do not want and would
not accept charity.
What they want and would accept
is a square deal and at least an even
chance with the draft dodgers and
alien enemies.
And it will not avail congress to
play the ostrich act, or think to
satisfy the boys and their friends with
platitudes. (i. O. ADAMS.
LIXE TO PASS XEAB SEVERAL

Scenic View of Great Beauty Will
Be Afforded Travelers Along
Xew State Highway.
HOOD RIVER, Or., March 20. (SBe
ciaL) R. H. Scott, engineer for the
state highway commission, has just
completed the survey of a trunk line
to connect the Columbia river high
way with the proposed loop highway
around the east base of Mount HSod.
The total length of the proposed
road, as surveyed, is 21.8 miles. It
proceeds in an almost direct line from
the city south to the national forest
line.
xne roaa wiu pass witnin nan to i
three-quarters of a mile of Van Horn, '
Odell and Parkdale, all valley centers
and apple-shipping points. The
towns, it is stated, have been avoided
because the general topography of
the country would not permit the
road to reach them conveniently.
Also, according to Mr. Scott, it was
considered poor policy to carry the
highway througout the apple-shipping
centers, all of which at harvest time
are congested with fruit trucks and,
wagons. rnis congestion win De
avoided by running the road a short
distance away.
Mr. Scott, in his report will point
out Incidentally that the motorist will
be afforded a bird's eye view of the
entire Hood River valley, as well as
the middle valley to the south, with
Mount Adams and Mount Hood show
ing up exceptionally well.
