Program Backed
Salem, Oi-e., Feb. 23 mi Forty
one per cent of all men ordered

fti Oregon have been rejected for
physical reasons. Col. Elmer-V.
Wooton, state director of selective
service had said today.
Appearing as a witness at a
joint ways and means sub-committee
considering a bill (HBS3)
which calls -for a program of
physical fitness , for high school
students of the state, Wooton said
Thursday that there are 25,000
men, most of them in the 18 to 29
age group, who have been reject
ed in Oregon. ',
Six per cent, he said, were
Qualified for limited service, and
that before limited service was
discontinued in the army, the re
jection j-afe was even higher, 45
per cent.
No Opposition Voiced
, No opposition to the bill was
evident nt the meeting, and one
of the chief difficulties with the
bill brought out at the committee
meeting was that perhaps the
$25,000 appropriation provided
would not be enough. '
The Oregon rejection rate Is
better than the national average,
Wooton said, but is nothing to be
proud of, and he strongly endors
ed the hill as a step toward rais
ing the over-all physical ability
of the youth of the state.
Others appearing on behalf of
the bill included Rex Putnam,
superintendent of public instruc
tion; R. W. Lay ton, head of the
department of physical education
of the University of Oregon, and
Austin Landreth, Pendleton school
superintendent.

Pioneer Doctor Recalls Early
Days in Cenfral.Oregon Town
By Helen M. Cherry
' Madras, Feb. 23 (Special)
There were but two homesteads
on the present site of Madras;
and no roads except the main one
from Shanlko which was joined
by the Warm S m ines road, when
Dr. W. H. Snook came to Central
Oregon. One of thp last of the
"horse and bupgv" doctors left In
this section of the country, Dr.
Snook celebrated his 82hd birth
dav on February 12.
The doctor was born on an Iowa
farm and was educated in col
leges in Iowa and after gradua
tion hunt! out his shingle in Ne
braska, then ventured out West
to Portland, thence to Moro. from
which place he came with his
family to Central Oregon.
"In 1902," said Dr. Snook, "I
brought my family over here and
settled at Old Culver where In
May I filed on a homestead and
by the next fall I had built a new
house. There were two stores
there and I rented a space In
Hahn's- store and set up my of
fice. There were no roads around
the country except trails that the
settlers made themselves. I often
made my own with horse and
buggy, or went right through the
sagebrush. It wasn't until auto
mobiles came that I actually got
stuck in the mud. Ves, I guess I
have delivered babies to every
homestead around here.
"We got mall three times a
week when we first came to Cen
tral Oregon. 'It came from The
Dalles through Warm Springs;
then the route changed and they
brought It down from near Trout
creek. Not long after our arrival
we moved to Madras; the railroad
had been surveyed a few months
after we got to this section of the
country, but construction wasn't
started until several years later.
The town site of Madras was also
plotted that summer and I put
up the fourth building In this
town about 1903; it housed both
drug store and office. In 1925
there was a bad fire and the whole
town was almost destroyed and
my building went too. We put up
the present one In 1927.
"This place doesn't hold a can
dle to what it was when the rail
road came In. There were all
types of people working here then.
Americans, English, Scotch, Irish,
Poles. Norwegians and Italians
the Italians -spent their money
freely. A Dr. Long and Dr. Hale
came to the county for a time aft
er I did. I handled all the cases
for the Union Pacific while the
road was under construction. You
remember that the two roads
were building through here the
Union Pacific and Oregon Trunk.
There was always plenty of ex
citement during those days. There
were around 13 saloons in Madras
and they had what was called
'Gallon houses,' where they could
get liquor in that quantity. We
had A 10-foot fence between our
store and the saloon next door
(where the Thomas service sta.
tion is now located). One time the
two town marshals got into a.
shooting scrape and I had to take
care of them both. I don t remem.

but the other was Jack- Weston
and there was a story about him
In last Sundays' Oregonlan."
Here Mrs. Snook broke In and,
laughed. "No, It doesn't hold a
patch now to what It was like in
those days. Why, nearly every
night there was a shootlntf. stab-
bing or a man found Wing dead on
the streets. About that marshal
story: I was alone in the drug
store when that happened. I was
cleaning out a showcase when
they brought Weston In bleeding.
I was shocked and asked what was
the matter? He replied: "Don't
worry. Mrs. Snook, I am all right."
now Weston, and the other man,
too, for that matter, had always
been nice to me and had seen to
it if the doctor wasn't around at
night that I got home from the
store all right. So I helped him
Into the other room and got him
up onto the table and sent for
the doctor. When I went back into
the main part of the store a crowd
of people were milling around ex
citedly and the other man was
brought in and he, too, was in a
bad way with the blood spurt
ing. They started to take him in
the other room where Weston
was, but I said "Weston is In
there." The wounded man swore
strongly and made it known that
he didn't care to be put there, so
ho was taken across the street to
the other drug store."
"I fook care of Weston first,"
continued Dr. Snook, "he had been
shot through the stomach and
ankle. After finishing with him I
went over to take care of the other
marshal who had been wounded

Both Dr. and Mrs. Snook have
had many experiences In days'
gone by. The doctor still goes to

every day. Patients come to him
