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. I know of a family
of four children whose mother is
ill and the father has cut his foot
wide open. Another family whose
everv adult member -is afflicted
and the breadwlhnexWas buried
last week. .TheTa- are ten child
rn in the family. And I ;know
one woman of 5 fl years who i
blind and rheumatic, and whose
helDer has been 'stricken; by pa
ralysis. And yet there are people
who are rushinff , about 5 buying

Salem, Ore. Dee. 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."

he suffered a broken hip and a
broken right leg. besides numer

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

SEEK CROSSBREED'
016 HORN SEP
Only Two' or Ovls Fannant
Seen Since 1 91 5, Fear
Disappearance
After ten years' futile search.
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.

Replying "to a question by Sen

Senator Heflin said he regarded
Rear Admiral Robinson who ap
proved the oil leases for the navy,
as "just as guilty as Doheny and

The verdict pivoted, in the jur

$100,000 loan cn Nov. 30, 1921,
to Fall, described in defense testi
mony as a friendly transaction be

Under the law, the government
can take no appeal. The ten-
