HOWARD SAYS
N
;
J. S. Howard, After Late Experience, I
Joins "Never Again" Club, and
Ennjnccrs Will Meet Frost.
With uplifted right hand, J. S.
Hmrnrtl, tho vttrnn civil engineer
swears that never again will ho equip
n stranded Tsurvuyor with the tools
of his profession in order that ho
may go out and gather in n few
shekels.
Tho why and whorcforo of this res
olution of Mr. Howard's lies in tho
experience ho had this week. Mon
day morning there appeared heforo
him n bedraggled specimen of hu
manity with empty pockets and stom
ach, who asked assistance on tho
ground that ho was n civil engineer!
out of a job. Mr. Howard is of tho I
old pioneer stock, whoso hearts nnd
more than that whoso purses are over
open to tho cry of need, and he forth
villi furnished tho indigent civil en
gineer with the necessary funds to
properly subdue tho cravings of tho
inSicr man. In a short time the fel
low returned nnd informed his bene
factor that he had secured the job of
"running somo lines for n farmer
oiit in the country, if I just had an
instrument to do it rith." J. S. had
an extra set nnd, moved by tha
"man's evident need, loaned him the
instruments, thinking ho was helping
him to get on his feet. That wns
Monday. Tuesday came, then Wed-
nf!"day, and still tho instruments
wero not returned. Wednesdny eve
ning Chief Shearer wns notified nnd
commenced to get busy. Hb found
that the instruments had been check- j
cd out from Medford to Grants Pass '
Monday evening. Communication
' with Grants Pns finally elicited the
information th"' the instruments hnd
"been sold to Mike Brady of Waldo.
nd that the erstwhile down-and-out j
surveyor bad loft Grants Pass on n
northbound train Tuesday, arrayed
' watch among tho things thnt wore
T)iit are not.
"I have helped out a srood many
people in the snrr" v is T''d thN
follow," said Mr. Howard, "nrd "ur
before has my confidence been
abused. I have not lost rav faith in
human nature yet, hut it has been
temporarily mislnid, and tho next
busted surveyor must show sorapthing
beside talk."
Tho fellow is described as beinp
about 50 yenrs of ago, slight build,
with light moustache. Ho gave no
name to Mr. Howard, nor havo the
police been able' to secure his name.

an interesting report of his trip at

About 20 boxes of apples and

Horticultural association at Vienna,
at the Northern Illinois horticultural
meeting at Dixon nnd at tho state
horticultural meeting at Champaign,
which is the scat of the State Agri

students nro in attendance. At all
of these meetings Mr. Diinlnp rend
papers on fruit growing in this vnl
ey, and also took part in tho general
discussions following, no found
much interest in this pnrt of the
country nnd many well-to-do people

These names will bo turned over to
the secretaries of the two commercial
clubs and as soon ns tho new club
books and other literature is ready
copies will be forwarded to tho ad
dresses. Before leaving for home Mr. Dun
lap devised an unique plan for fur
ther good advertising, no had many
applications to buy show fruit nt
fancy prices, but he elected to sell it
at a nominal price to pcoplo whom
he know personally and whom ho
know could be depended upon to ex
hibit tho fruit in their own towns for
n week or two before taking it home.
In this way ho distributed tho lot in
somo 17 different towns in Illinois
and Indiana, thus attracting the at
tention of thousands of people to the
Rogue River valley who otherwise
would not hnv(ybee'nrenched.
Tho trip wns most successful from

Mr. Dunlnp found tho fruit indus

which a fow yenrs ago were prolific

hundreds of (heir owners are turn
ing their eyes this wny.

thoy would bo kept nwnko by tho
cries of the hungry wolf. This re
production of tho howls of tho wolf
pack is tho result of a very interest

manufacturers, equipped with tho no-1
ces8ary recording apparatus, accom-
pnnied Eugene Walters, tho author of
tho play, to tho Bronx zoo nnd wnit
ed for tho captive Ishmaols to howl, ;
Thoy waited kit a short time, when
just before tho animals woro fed n
big gray timber wolf started to glvo
a series of woird, uncanny howls.
Soon tho entiro pack of 20 wolves

witli n realism that is remarkable.
To give moro real atmosphoro 10
tho cries, tho company carries a real,
