HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1929. PAGE FIVE By Arthur Brisbane Tad Is Dead. The Debenture Plan. Wanted, Another Edison. A "Want Ad." "Tad" Dorgan is dead. Millions knew him. He analyzed human na ture In pictures, as well as Dickens did in words. Stricken by heart disease, know ing that he might die at any mo ment, he continued working cheer fully and died in his sleep. He worked as a boy, 'in a mill, to support his mother and younger children. When his right hand was mutilated, in an accident, he drew pictures with his left hand. A Hearst editor asked him to come from San Francisco to New York for double the salary he was paid. Tad replied, "I have my moth er and six kid brothers and sisters. I wouldn't leave them." Invited to bring them all East at Mr. Hearst't expense, he came and established a reputation through out the whole country. Prize fight enthusiasts, with half an Inch of forehead, or Charles Dana Gibson, with a brow like the dome of St. Peter's will tell you "Tad was a great man." The Senate may put through the "farm relief" debenture plan in spite of the "President's protest." That is good news for middlemen. They would buy farm products, ex port them and get a bonus on ex ported products. The farmer would get the bonus IF he could ship wheat or cotton direct to Liverpool. But he cannot do that It la "hoped that giving a bonus to exporting middlemen will 'auto matically' increase prcles paid the farmer." Silly hope. Paying the middle man twenty cents a quart for milk does not Increase the four or five cents a quart paid the farmer. However, the debenture bonuB would put money In circulation, even If It did the farmer no direct good. Also It would add to the rich man's taxes and make that re sourceful gentleman say to himself, "I must think up a way to solve that farm problem." Expensive labor compels the pro duction of new machinery. Expen sive farm cure-alls will make finan cial intelligence Interest Itself In the farmer. Governors of various States are co-operating with Thomas A. Edi son, seeking among boys of today, "Edison's successor." That boy, when found, will find himself. To develop Edison, one among hundreds of millions, many ingre dients, including poverty and nec essity, were necessary. The next Edison is somewhere, on a farm, or In the city. There is no way to identify him now. It pays to get a good job and at tend to it And it pays to advertise. Twenty-two years ago, D. A. Craw ford, very young, answered a "want ad.," and got a job as stenographer with Mr. Carry, late president of the Pullman Company. Recently, the Pullman Company directors, Intelligently promoting one of their own men. chose Mr. Crawford to succeed Mr. Carry, as president Don't stay In the wrong place, liut don't be In a hurry to decide that you are right and the Job Is wrong. JIIIIIIIMtHmilllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIMIHIIIIIIItHMIIHIHtlllli: FISH AND GAME ! ! ACTIVITIES $ I 5 BelMuad by th Oregon State Oam t t Commission, Oregon Bid;., Portland i S I niliiMiMtmiiiiiiiHimiMiiiiimiiiMiiiHiMliiiiiiiiiliiiiiMin Improved weather conditions In all sections of the state have brought Joy to anglers. Practically all the streams In Oregon except those fed by melting snow have cleared and fishermen are reporting good catches. The Increased activ ity of anglers has been noted by the state game commission through a heavy demand for licenses. The death of T. J. Craig, known as "Tom" to hundreds of sportsmen of the state is deeply felt by every official and employe of the state game commission. Mr. Craig start ed working for the commission in 1911 and was on the job continu ously until death came last week. He was in charge of the planting of fish from the various hatcheries of the commission and was well known by all who are interested In the Increasing of Oregon's fish sup ply. With unabated energy the hunt ers of the state are keeping up their campaign of cougar killing, accord ing to reports of the state game commission. George L. Thomas, of Illahe, Curry county, last week re quested bounties of $25 each on four cougar he had killed. During March the commission paid bounties on 26 cougar and in April on 30. On June 1, the contest for the cougar hunt ing championship of Oregon will start to continue for a year. Five cash prizes ranging downward from $175 to $25 have been offered to hunters by the game commission. These prizes are offered in addition to the regular bounties. There was a distinct feeling of sadness in the heart of every sports man who fished the Deschutes river over last week end. It was on that stream, famous for its trout, that Lester W. Humphreys, of Portland, well known attorney, war veteran and angler, Is thought to have lost his life. Mr. Humphreys was an ardent fisherman and was active In the affairs of the Multnomah Ang ler's club for many years. He was an excellent fly caster and fisher man. An official of the state game com mission has discovered a man he terms as the most resourceful gun owner on record. It seems that the man in question was an experienced hunter and the possessor of a rifle of which he thought a great deal. The sights on the gun, however, were not to his liking. , He desired gold-beaded sights but lacked the gold. His mother-in-law owned sev eral gold teeth. It Is said that with the demise of the mother-in-law the gun owner was discovered and con sequently frustrated in the act of removing one of the gold teeth so that he might have his desired bead ed sights. The state game commission has responded to the request of E. O. Balnter of Nehalem, and sent a male Chinese pheasant to mate with a hen pheasant that makes her home near Mr. Balnter's farm. Chi nese pheasants do not thrive in that section of the state, as a rule, but the female has lived near Mr. Bain ter's place and fed with his chick ens for some time. He hopes that with the arrival of the bird sent from the state game farm a heal thy brood of pheasants will result. A recent compilation of the acre age in Oregon set aside for game refuges, made by Harold Clifford, state game warden, shows a total of 3,245,065 acres. Nineteen refuges have been set aside by the state legislature and in addition to these 148,000 acres of privately owned land and 88,000 acres of government land are set aside. An electric fish dlverter placed in operaiton at the Gold Ray dam on the Rogue river for the purpose of sending salmon up stream has been reported to Harold Clifford, state game warden, by Shirley Baker, en gineer, as being a pronounced suc cess. The salmon, previously flock ed in great numbers to a tall race which went around the dam and failed to go upstream. The dlverter was installed at the confluence of the stream and the race and now the salmon are going over the dam. The installation was made May 12, with the federal government the state game department and the Cal ifornia Oregon Power company cooperating. ALPINE.
