() HELP SANTA CLAUS. v IN CHRISTMAS WOfiK (Continued from pa"t) happiness to the 'most TjeojUe. Do not put off another day; but join the Cheer crowd now and hip Santa Claus in his work of spreading the roil spirit of Christ mas. The following fetter came yes terday asking for help that some Christmas Cheer might be spread to various ones: Kditor Statesman: Please ask your readers to feed and water the wild birds, and to see that the dogs have water that is not frozen, and the hens-. Also have pity on the rural carr riers. Leave your 'niaif box lid or door open this cOld weather, if the box is so situated that traf fic will not be affected, as it is mneh easier to put the mall f ia the box if It doesn't" require tw hands, and moving from driver's place at the wheel to reach it. Also don't put money and nn stard letters in the box for the pooi jUozen fingers of the carrier to fix hp for you, and since they don't get any more money for sending away parcels, my notion of being "good to these faithful .servants of Uncle Sam, these help ers of Santa Claus, would be to have my packages weighed at a postoffice if possible. Also, when he makes his rounds, Friday, De cember 24th, let him find some little token of appreciation in the box, if it is only a dozen eggs or a pumpkin. With this letter 1 send my small contribution to the Statesman's Christmas Cheer fund. It will buy 12 cans of Campbell's soup that is sufficient for 48 people. I wonder if people really know how good and how cheap and how quickly prepared it is". Just add one can of water, or even two' to pvery can of soap, and when it is hot it is ready. Food does not cost much, but shoes and clothing and blankets are as high as in war. time, and how many people need them.

J5, 1926, Editor Statesman; Knowing the Christmas spirit of the Salem people, I would like to tell them of an incident that I know will appeal to them A very' worthy, family, moved here last fall and the father se cured work until two months, ago when toe with others was laid off at one of the mills and has not been able to get steady work ajcaln. However, the mother is working by the day to keep the family and she 'told me her seven year old boy. wanted to write to Santa Claus, but she told him "Dad is out of work I do not think it will do much good ", but the boy replied. "I will write any how and take a chance." If those who can send a sweat er, wool stockings, a toy or book that their children have outgrown to the . Statesman office, I am sure they will help me see the ;boy's faith in Santa will come true, and make us all happy, "A Mother." Hartman Bros. Jewelrv Sore.

AIRMAN INJURED WHEN MAIL PLANE CRASHES (Continue! from pnje 1) he suffered a broken hip and a broken right leg. besides numer ous cuts about his head. Suffering great pain, the pilot was able to give only meagre de tails concerning the accident. He said that his altimeter failed to record the proper altitude and be cause of the fog he had no idea he waa so near the ground. His first realization that something was wrong came when tree tops appeared in front of the plane. The tops of two or three were passed before the hillside was struck. The pilot's home is at Medford and? he is married. The mail car go was not damaged and was tak en to Ashland. , .-Arthur, Statbuck, another pilot, came north from San Francisco today with the mail, but landed at Redding when he found heavy fogunderlying the storm clouds. When he heard that Patterson had been injured, however, he de cided to come on through and made the trip to Medford without mishap but with difficult flying conditions. A new plane will be sent north from-San Francisco with a pilot in charge. He , will bring tne northbound mall and Is expected to reach Medford.

Harvey Miller, one of the most successful bii? game collectors in the country, has sent out a call to sportsmen for a specimen of nature's latest crossbreed in the big horn sheep family. The Ovis Fannani was discovered in the Cassiar mountains" near-Alaska in 1915, and since then only two or three have been seen. Scientists fear that the breed may, already have disappeared. i- Among others, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, whom Miller asserts is one of the foremost naturalists in America, , hate .-. joined in the search, and also Carl Lomen, the Alaskan reindeer king, who was the central figure in James Oliver Curwood's novel, "The Alaskan." Lomen has his entire staff of ranchmen hunting for the Fan nani, and Roosevejt writes that he is circularizing all his sportsmen friends. Miller, who designs shoe styles for the Endicott Johnson corpor ation when he is not pursuing big game, has a more complete col lection of North American big game, from the walrus to the wild cat, than either the Smithsonian institute or the American .Museim of Natural Science. The Ovis Fan nani, which is a freak cross be tween the black ovis stonei and the white ovis calli . big horn sheep, will make Miller's 97th dis tinctive head and "complete the collection which may be science's only complete record of North American game. Many of his specimens are already extinct. HEFLIN SCORES VERDICT GIVEN IN DOHENY TRIAL (Continued from page 1) valid objection to the manner in which, the Dresiding justice had conducted the oil conspiracy trial "So that all around we connect up the influences," Senator Heflin continued. "Whether it has any effect or not, I am just giving you the inside facts about it. "Dohenv contributed to the campaign fund of the republican party.

Replying "to a question by Sen ator Reed, democrat, Missouri. Senator Heflin said he regarded Rear Admiral Robinson who ap proved the oil leases for the navy, as "just as guilty as Doheny and iFall." The verdict pivoted, in the jur ors deliberations, upon Doheny s $100,000 loan cn Nov. 30, 1921, to Fall, described in defense testi mony as a friendly transaction be tween old partners. Under the law, the government can take no appeal. The ten- niinutt climax of the sensational four week's trial presented, in the ury's return from its third floor conference room, a scene of elec trifying dramatics. The jurors filed into their box efore a tense, eager and breath less throng at 10:08 o'clock thfcr morning.

Four indictments growing out of thiK senate investigation, -two against" Fall and Doheny for brib ery, one against Fall and Harry F.
