give ablt of cheer to the men will
help us' with our Christmas plana rather

Madero and Carranza
Assassins Still Fre
Mexico City, Mexico. Dec. 10. (L N.
S-)Kf forts to bring to punishment
those who assassinated President Fran
cisco I. Madero and Vice President Jose
Maria Pino Saurez, in 1913, and Presi
dent Verustiano Carranza, in 1920, .$re
being continued in a rather desultory
way. It Is not believed that any of
the men accused will suffer execution,
even though convicted. The prevailjng
opinion is that prosecution will stop
when clamor for vengeance ends. At
present there is a resolute group which
is determined to press the proceedings
against the accused men. Some sus
pected men have fled from Mexico. Some
have committed suicide, or have been
shot when trying to escape after. having
been arrested.
U. S. Animal Hunters
'Busy Despite . Storm
In spite of the recent storm, which
made It almost impossible to catch
predatory animals in many portions of
the state, government trappers turned
in 101 coyotes and bobcats and one
sheep-killlnr bear during November,
says Stanley G. Jewett.

William Mealey of Linn County
Helped Fashion Crude Utensil
Used in Fighting Forest Fire.
William R. Mealey of Foster. Linn
county, Oregon, read In The Journal
about Supervisor C C Hall of the San
tiam national forest finding two primi
tive grubboea carved from a yew tree,
supposed to have been used by an early
day forest ranger in fighting forest fires.
The hoee were placed, among the exhibits
of the United -States forest service in
Portland.
. Thereupon. Mealey sat down and
wrote a letter to Hall, for Mealey was
one of those mysterious, unknown rang
ers, who Improvised the hoe. Mealey
does not give the date, but he says it
was many years ago, that it happened.
The owner of the other hoe was his
nephew, K. S. : Mealey. A portion of
Mealey" s letter follows:
"In those days away before the forest
service built the fine system of trails

to carry their supplies and fire fighting

possible. Necessity being the mother of

making our fire fighting tools where

It's a great note to go seeking a temp
est and discover summer.
Ten days ago, you recollect, old Mister
Boreas puffed out his cheeks and sent
through our peaceful Portland streets,
a wind that exceeded the speed limit
The usual accidents filled the air imme
diately. Plate glass windows gave up
the ghost and tree roots gave up their
grip on the soil.
We had visited Crown Point to see
the phenomenon of the Columbia's snow
embalmed gorge and there was appeal in
the idea of a storm lashed coast as run
ning mate to an adventure that our or
dinarily placid weather may never bring,
again.
The curtains of the machine were
tightly battened. Robes were heaped
high. Wo set forth Mr. and Mrs. I R.

absorbed attention immediately upon our
arrival.

blooming. Where the famous old pioneer
railroad builder had his race track for
the enjoyment of his friends, half a
dozen cows were grazing quietly on the
unwithered grass. Loo King out to sea,
one might almost imagine that a Ben
Holladay ship was running in toward
shore to dip her colors, as was once
the custom of honor to the man who was
at one time master of the Northwest's
transportation.

and when we needed them, thus Baving
the extra labor involved in carrying
mattocks with us.
"In fact it is remarkable tow wen a
digger made from a tough yew tree, the
cutting edge hardened in a fire, will do.
In almost any ordinary circumstances
they are quite as efficient in the hands
of a practiced woodsman as a mattock.'
They are light and strong. The handle

dulled. I see you understand the value
of' this simple tool to the forest serv

Individual efforts and with so little to
do with, only our belt axes and water

Anthony Euwer. poet artist and
humorist, bow in New York, but widely
known by Oregonians through his Hood
River residence, has agreed to prepare
for The. Journal readers the front pages
for six Sunday Journal magasine sec
tions, the first of which is published
today, and the others to follow after the
New Tear.
Mr. Euwer's unusually large following
In the Northwest is partly due to the
fact that he has spent many of his sum
mers here and at Parkdale where rela
tives live. His ability, as a platform
aumorist has been proved on numerous
occasions when he has appeared before
Portland ' audiences in readings from
his own writings. In hie poem. The
Blood ot the Apple,, and his gallery of
sketches from the life of the ranchers
of the Hood River valley, Mr. Euwer
got very close to the heart of the peo
ple of Oregon, who will read with the
keenest enjoyment his latest verses,
"For Exchange," which accompany his
drawing on the front cover of The Sun
day Journal magasine today.
As ao artiBt and illustrator,' Anthony
Kuwer stands in the front rank. He

him where be could "Ulustrate his,

do. He says that frequently "when an
editor didn't like my drawings, be would"
take my work for the sake of the verses,
and sometimes when he didn't like my
verses he would take the whole thing
for the sake "of the drawings." .The gro

not very tall, and. he's -not very ehort.
not very light and not very dark. He's
not as thin as Abraham Lincoln, nor -as

your soul without any question. .-
As he creates pictures when he

them when he paints with the spoken

the simile farther and call him a master
