OREGON OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF JACKSONVILLE Entered aa second-class matter February 19. 1M2, at the poatofflce at Jacksonville, Oregon, under the act of March 3, 1879. LEONARD N. HALL MAUDE POOL Editor and Publisher Applegate Editor And southern Oregon certainly can’t have lost much by the importation of several thousand young men who are fed and clothed here and kept busy im­ proving our forests, fighting our fires and building roads. Why, the govern­ ment even pays cash for subscriptions to the Central Point American and The Jacksonville Miner, that its wards might be well informed. Which is darned smart. Art will have to admit.

Although any comment on the local water supply at this time is a bit dry and dusty, still it won’t be long until fall rains send surface refuse rushing toward the reservoir and cattle and squatters’ leavings wont add to the tasti­ ness or quality of the water. After all, cow chips hardly make appe­ tizing boulders for this city’s water sup­ ply to splash over, and some plan should be considered to eliminate abouse of the watershed. CCC is C-C Pill to Art Arthur Edward Powell, tall head man of the Central Point American, bemoans the fact that several thousand CCC en­ rolles have quit to take other jobs, “which will mean even more men out of work this winter.” He also claims the importation of the Brush Marines into southern Oregon has worked a hardship on local labor when they were brought here from the east and allowed to stay when their time was out. Somehow or other we get the idea that republican Powell doesn’t like the Civil­ ian Conservation corps. Whether his aversion to the Brush Marines is due to political prejudice or just plain misin­ formation is unknown to us, but we thought nearly everyone read of how hundreds of the Brush Marines brought here from other points were bundled up into trains at regular intervals and sent back to points of enlistment. But maybe Art doesn’t even know what he reads in the papers. On the other hand, how the resigna­ tion of CCC enrolles now to accept other jobs “will mean even more men out of work this winter” is most certainly a nut-cracker for us. We never heard of employment causing unemployment be­ fore. But then, Art is entitled to figure things out in his own way, and far be it from us to ever say anything about his ideas. Much. One of President Roosevelt’s finest acts, to our way of thinking, has been the establishment and maintenance of Brush Marine camps over the country.| Positive Proof Predatory Animals Should De Killed According to news dispatches, there is some indication that the recent burning j of the Morro Castle which resulted in terrific loss of life was of incendiary origin, probably traceable to an organi- ’ zation of international plotters common­ ly referred to as "reds.” If the accusation is true, it should be verified and lodged as another condemn­ ing indictment against all reds who plot and plan to make the going hard for hu­ mans and their governments. The ship fire is but one of hundreds of costly and greusome “red” stunts which have both­ ered not only America, but other nations as well.

This dis­ couraged me so completely that I made no attempt to gather them up, but drove back to camp and told my partner I was going to quit. Some people may not believe what I have said, but if they will drive over the road from Little Applegate to Ruch they will find all the holes I lost still laying where they fell from the hay rack that unlucky day of long ago. And, further, some enterprising citizen has evidently taken the trouble to spill a few thousand bumps along this piece of high- way, so that now it can claim the distinction of being the roughest stretch of roadbed anywhere in the United States, Canada or Missouri. I thank you. By J. C. REYNOLDS When my partner and I came west many long years ago and settled on the Little Applegate, there were very few people here. A handful of prospectors, half a dozen ranchers and a lot of In­ dians were about all. Times were very hard, no work to be had and we soon began to wonder how we could make some money to live on. Finally we decided to go into a new field pf business that did not seem to be overcrowded at the time. The country was full of holes then so we decided to accumulate as many of these as possible and sell them to the Japanese, who could use them to crawl into in case of a war between them and WANTED: AN INFORMATION the United States.
