THE INDUSTRIAL FUND
Solicitation has started
merce industrial fund which is planned to match a $10,000
appropriation for the same purpose in the city budget. The
fund, according to program, is to be completed by February 12
and we would guess that the amount set should be sub
scribed, or even oversubscribed by that lime.
Bend is well aware of how important it may be, in the
post-war years, to have at hand adequate finances to en
courage and promote industrial development. It is showing
its awareness by the alacrity with which firms and individuals
have been coming forward even before solicitation started to
make their contributions to the fund. More than twenty were
included in this honor roll, according to Carl A. Johnson,
president of the chamber and chairman of the special indus
trial fund committee. That others will join readily in adding
to the subscription list is to be expected.
The undertaking is not only an extremely important one,
but it also ties in with a sound organization plan. Five rep
resentatives of the donors, with the members of the city
commission, will have entire control of the administration and
expenditure of the fund. It is difficult to conceive of a method
which would better assure the sort of administration that
will be needed for the best results.
A DASH OF
So bright has been the war
the army is called upon to provide the customary dash of cold
water lest there be harmful over-optimism. In the light of
the shocking reverse on the western front of only a few weeks
ago, it cannot be said that the cold water treatment may not
besalutory.
It is administered this time in a statement from Lt. Gen.
Millard F. Harmon, chief of army air forces in the Pacific, in
which he declares that Japan's war effort is not yet seriously
unjointed and that America still faces the "greatest war in
its history in the far east."
. ' This is far from cheering, but it is better by far to have
the facta and face them than to be soothed with promises of
victory in a few months, only to find when the promised "V"
day rolls around that it may be another few months. There has
been too much of this already. .
America is out to win this war and to win it completely.
We'd much sooner win it now, of course, but if the best that
can be expected is another two years, or more, as Gen. Harmon
strongly intimates, then it's better to know it and adjust our
plans and our lives accordingly.

FOUR YOUNG MEN IN THE
. GOLD RUSH
VI
AH the gold in the early days
In '49 and '50 came 'from placer
mining, which means mining on
the surface or In shallow pits, or
sifting gold from the beds of
streams. Compared to the great
amount of the precious metal un
derground this surface gold was
almost insignificant in quantity,
but the gold in the underground
lodes could bo reached only by
sinking deep shafts, driving tun
nels into the sides of mountains,
and using expensive rockcrush
Ing machinery. There was none
of that in California in 1849; the
machinery and the mining corpor
ations came later.
In placer mining the gold was
found In tiny nuggets of the pure
metal, about the size of the grains
of sand or even smaller, but an
occasional find weighed two or
three ounces. The most likely
places for finding these morsels
of gold were the beds of streams.
A miner, working in a brook
or creek, would go Into the water
barefoot, with his trousers rolled
nlinvn hie Irnana an A Vita clnniins
up to his shoulders. He would
carry a wooden bucket or a simi
lar receptacle. He would then
seoop up the sand and gravel
from the bed of the stream. The
gold, If there were any, might be
seen as tiny yellow specks or
grains in the sand. The problem
then was to separate the gold
from its s a n d v environment.
There were various ways of ac
complishing that. One was a wash
ing process. The sand, being inht
or than the gold, could be washed
away if the bucket were filled
with water and shaken constant
ly so that the particles of gold
would drop to the bottom: then
the water and sand might be
poured off. Another method in
volved the use of a cradle made
for tlie purpose. By rocking the
Fiinci ana gold were separated.
There was much waste to gold
in this work of separation, for
some of the gold dust would al
ways be washed away with Ihe
sand.
. t
A tier they had come down the
pass Into California the Blrdsall
outfit made Its way to Sacra
mento, not for any particular rea
son, but because they did not
know where else to go. Sacra
mento was then a wild and nois
village of the roughest character,
filled with adventurers. There the
Birdsalls sold their team. To the-t
astonishment the oxen brought
$l0 apiece, and for the covered
wagon, rickety and almost falling
apart, they gut $100. In Memphis
It would not have fetched more
than Sir).
With all Ibis money In hand
they decided to see San Francisco
before searching for gold. They
stayed in tint incredible com
munity only three dins. In his
diary Andy Coition says:
September 21. We pot to S. F.

are all wrong on this gold-mining
business. We ought to go into real
estate. There's where the money
lies. This hotel building could be
put up for $5000; it is a wooden
shanty. Are we all crazy?
In San Francisco harbor there
were at one time in that year of
1849 no less than 400 ships that
had been deserted by their crews
who had gone to the gold fields.
The whole community was hyste
rical and half-mad during that
period say from 1848 to 1853,
when it began to regain Its senses.
The fellow guest whom the
Birdsalls had met casually at the
hotel wash trough was a com
panionable person, and they be
came very friendly with him. He
wns a storekeeper of Marysvllle, a1
god diggers' shanty town about
50 miles north of Sacramento,
arid he had come down to San
Francisco to buy goods for his
store.
Sol Nathan had bpen a placer
minor, which he declared to be a
fool's game.
But we saw a man In Sacra-1
mento when we were on our way ,
here" n i ri Tnmm,, ni. !
"who was a tenderfoot, or rawl-fB
heel, or whatever you call 'em, '
wno sirucK a pocket or gold be
fore he had been at work a week.
It's no lie, either, for he had the.
gold with him worth $12,000
and was going that very day to
sell it to the mint. We saw it."
"I can well believe It," Sol
Nathan agreed.
"Yet you say wo won't find
anything," Blrdsall argued, "so
what "
"I didn't say that," Sol replied,
"I said the chances are about five
hundred to one against vou mak
ing a big strike. It's just a mat
ter of figures statistics but :
I'm sure all of you can make aj
living at It. Almost anybody who ;
is willing to work hard can pick:
up enough splinters of gold to j
pay his living expenses."
It was back - breaking labor I
me joo oi standing in cold wa
ter all day and sifting pails of
sand and the Blrdsall outfit was
sick of it before the first week
had run its course. In the first
six days they had altogether sift

worth ahot.t $.100, or $75 apiece.

(NBA Buff Correspondent) '
Washington, D. C When the
senate lorelgn relations commit
tee was considering ratification of
President Roosevelt's six nomina
tions for assistant secretaryships
in uie ueuunmeni oi state, sen
ator Claude Peoner of Florida
brought up the issue of American
policy with regard to the Spanish
revolution and the Spanish dic
tator, f ranclsco Franco. Sneeif.

Sumner Welles" recent book. VTha
Time for Decision," in which the
iormer undersecretary summed
up the situation by saying that
"ji ail our blind isolationist Doll.
cies, the most disastrous was our
attitude on the Spanish civil war."
neierring to the pressure of
peace-at-any-price organizations
at tne ena oi i3t, to amend ex
isting neturallty legislation to pre-
vent shipment of arms to the
Spanish republican forces, Pep
per read the Welles passage
which says that when the senate
foreign relations committee ask
ed for state department advice on
this situation, it received from the
omctal spokesman for the depart
ment this statement:
"You are trying to protect the
neutrality of this country, to pre
vent this country from becoming
involved in war, and at the same
time not sacrificing unduly the in
terest of our own people by the
enactment of this domestic legis
lation. It is a tremendous step
forward . . . ."
Thus advised, wrote Welles,
congress revised the neutrality
legislation on Jan. 8, 1937, and
stopped further arms shipment to
Spain. It was naturally a tremen
dous advantage to Franco. The in
ference which Welles draws is
that this worked to the advantage
of nazi Germany and fascist Italy
and helped bring on the European
war. '

I The statement cam from the
late R. Walton Moore, who was
then assistant secretary of state
and from 1937 until his death In
1941 was counselor to Secretary
Hull. ,'.
v.; ''-.
The responsibility which Welles
puts on Moore's shoulders Is not,
however, as great as might appear
from the Welles book, for In
tracking down the crucial policy
statement to Its correct source, it
has also been disclosed that Moore
did not make the statement In De
cember, 1936, as Welles says he
did, but In January, 1936. This was
six months before the revolution
broke. out in Spain. Furtherfore,
Moore made this statement with
reference not to the Spanish arms
embargo act, but to another mea
sure which was never passed.
There is another point of eon
fusion in the Welles statement
that the president was out of the I
country wnue tne Spanish arms
embargo policy was being adopted
by congress. The president, Hull
and Welles had gone to the Inter
American peace conference in
Buenos Aires toward the end of
1936. But the Spanish policy had
been determined and announced
previously by the president and R.
Walton Moore on Aug. 22, and the
president returned to Washington
on Dec, 16. So the president was
in on the whole play.
it was wenes wno was out of
the country. He stopped off in Rio,
and in the intervening years his
memory played mm a dlrw trick.
The president's message of regret
was over the earlier neutrality act
not the Spanish embargo.
