Olnnt twlrler, to a member of a rival National league team, offering to quit the Giants to hinder their pennant chances was mudo public today by Commissioner Landia. "I am afraid If I stay I will win the pennant for them (tlio Glnnts)," Douglas' latter said. j . . u -i PORTLAND NEEDS PORTLAND should develop a sens of humor, particularly her temperamental mayor, Avlien acting as a leader of a Portland fair caravan. Tin pw.ple of tlie state, as a whole, are not particularly mthiiiias t.'e !"H;t a World' Kair in 1'JJj. They are h"t iiielined to tak- it as -rioiiily as Portland. V.'ith o many thinis disturljiiir the public mind, so many problems prcssine:. there is a natural tendency on the part of any community to utilize this caravan as an excuse to have a little fun, to forjrtt their troubles and kick up their heels a bit. Cara vans don't corne to the country precincts every day. This was the situation in Klamath. After jivin? the Caravan the most elaborate reception on its tour, a resilient of the Courthouse city proceeded to have a little fun, both at the expense of the visitors and Klamath Fulls. Also, it mij;ht be said, at the expense of 31 ed ford. From the reports we have read, there was no occasion for offense. We couldn't imagine a Medford Mayor resentintr such harmless per siflage even if 3Iedford did want to be an Kxposition City. Hut Mayor Haker blew tip. He went t)irou:h the roof a la Mary Garden. He declared he and the Hose City had been insulted, and he proceeded to lash his hosts with a terrific ISaker wrath. The author of the skit very magnanimously apologized. Where upon "Temperamental George" apologized also' and everything on the surface became calm again. j But that explosion hurt the Portland Fair in Klamath County, it hurt Portland, it hurt Portland's mayor. Here is what the Klamath Herald said the following day, in a very excellent editorial : The slightest consideration on Mayor IJaker's part would have showed a man of the intelligence he must possess to occupy his position, that ft was Impossible and unthinkable that this commu nity could have gone to the trouble of welcoming his party, could have staged such a setting of sincere good will and hospitality, merely for the purpose of perpetrating the anti-elimax of Insult that he charged us with. We have Mayor Uaker's admonition to speak our Inmost . thoughts and "call a spade a spade" in mind when we assert that his ill-tempered attack was an exhibition of rudeness, aa utter dis regard of the elementary principles of courtesy and hospitality such as we have never before, and we hope will never again, have the embarrassing misfortune to witness. There is no use kidding ourselves. We can talk about wedding the Portland Rose and the Shasta Daisy, until the rafters drip with maple syrup, but the plain undeniable fact is Portland is not popular in Southern Oregon, and won't be until she shows a different spirit. It is not an easy thing to explain, the basic trouble seems very com plicated, but granting the good intentions of the Rose City and her generous efforts in many ways, there is in her attitude toward the rest pf the state, particularly Southern Oregon, n certain coolness, a haughty touchiness, a lack of warmth and genuine friendliness, ex pressed not only ip words but deeds, which renders any entente eor diale such as exists between Seattle and the state of Washington and San Francisco and northern California, for example, utterly impos sible, i SWSSRK Portland needs a sense of humor which in its last analysis means a true sense of proportion from the standpoint of state leadership, and genuine human sympathy. How to get it is quite another matter. For, as we see it, it is almost entirely a matter of temperament. Quill And those that live by the sword Still not all the children who get into the movies. Culture is a fine thing, but it calls a batter a batsman. A philosopher is one who doesn't fed cheated and cuss a little when he finds 1111 empty pocketbook. Another good treatment for a people's affairs is to massage it at We still have government by and for the people, but there appears to be darned little government of tho people. After all the interest wo have shown in those Turks, the hate ful things don't appear at all shocked by our atrocities. An experienced husband is one while appearing politely interested A radical complains that the Supreme Court has too much author ity. Well, somebody in America ought to have a little authority. When all the critics say his book is mediocre and rotten, the au thor knows he soon will he able to buy a new ear with twelve cylinders. RipplingRhun&s Walt FAR JINKS insists that being settled doesn't pay; like a charger, fierce an. I mettled, he would stray; for the hills are always greener, and the winds are .sweeter, cleaner, and they dish up bet ter weiner, far away. - Life in Pruneville causes wailing, it's so gray; and the talk is all of baling prairie hay; there are towns where lights are glowing, and the better films are showing, and the sports their coins are blowing far away. Here in Pruneville every voter is a jay; and the chap with henry motor thinks he's gay; there nre towns where things are humming, and there is no muffled drumming, and all men are up, and coming, far away. Jinks is gazing over yonder, every day; and he'l like to roam and wander, to Cathay; for the wanderlust besets him, and the dull existence frets him, and the distance always gets him, far away. We old fogies, moss encrusted, checkers play; we are heeled and Jinks is busted, so men say ; here nt homo in manner fitting, we've intended to our knitting, while our neighbor Jinks was flitting far away. Jinks must dream of places distant, where he'd stay; when his yearning prows insistent, he'll obey; for he says the stars are brighter and the business men are whiter, and the flap-, pers are politer far away. A SENSE OF HUMOR Points shall perish by the paper money. are told to be seen and not heard, is going a little too far when it nose that gets toft often into other intervals with knuckles. who can read the sporting page in what his wife is saying. Mason AWAY. The Wet-Dry Issue as Shown by the Literary Digest Oregon can have but alight interest fr-.i.-i a erri'n:tl M-itvioiM in thf LH'-rrjry ljmiai p..4 on pn'hiU'wri becaufc were the Volstead act repeal ed, it would make no change in the Oregon situation on account of the fart that we have a Volstead act o( our own. As innocent bystanders, however, it is Interesting to note that out of C17.S3K ballots cast only 23S.329 favor law enforcement so far as the Volstead act is concerned. The rest either want the law repeated entirely or changed so as to permit light wint-s and beer. t Kven In Oregon, Mr. Volstead peerr.H to be In disfavor. So far we have cast only 2098 vot to be sure, but of this number only S54 want the prohibition act enforced, while 1244 want It either rpe;ikd entirely or modified to permit the light drinks, 076 being for tho modification. This vote probably doesn't mean exactly what it says. That Is, while only 8 4 Oregon funs have voted to EAGLE POINT EAGLETS A. C. Howlell Rev. C. C. Howlet. the Sundav school evangelist of the Presbyterian church In the southern Oregon dis trict, stopped here for dinner last Thursday on his way to Butte Falls. He seems to be kept busy as he has qulto a large field and several dif ferent Sunday Bchools to look after. Last Thursday was not only a very busy day In Eagle Point, but was a day of mora than unusual Interest too. not only to the citizens of Eagle Point and vicinity, but the entire community along the proposed canal to bo taken from Big Butte just be low the falls at the town of Butte Falls and to extend along the foot hills above Eagle Point, cross I-ittle Butte and be so arranged as to fur nish water to Irrigate several valua ble farms and orchards along the route As that was the day set to open the bids for the construction of the canal and the result was that a great many people from the country came in to learn if possible, the result of the proceedings thus far, never thinking that proceedings of that na ture, that require the investment of such a vast amount of capital,, re handled with a great deal of cau tion, .and the result is that it is not known up to today noon, Wednesday, what the result has been, at least so far as I can learn. There was only two bids put in. One was by a bond ing house of Portland, Ore., and the other by our local contractor. William von der Hellen, and I learned that night when the men, Mr. von der Hellen being among them, that the contract had been awarded to Mr. von der Hellen subject to the ap proval of the state engineer, but of course the amount of the bids were not given out and so the result, per haps will not bts Known to the pub lic for some time. I understand that if both bids are rejected, which is quite probable, that the "powers that be" may re ject l;pth bids and then readvertlse for bids, and as a precautionary move, for ninety days and postpone commencement on the work until spring, thus forcing the people who have been planning on. using the water next summer to wait another year, which would bo a great dis appointment as wel as financial loss to them. But we are living in hope of having the contract confirmed to Mr. von der Hellen and have the worlt commence at once. There was quite a number came in for dinner that day. but I was feeling so "cul tus" that is a word that you don't find in an ordinary dictionary, but means a cross between laziness and sickness that I did not have energy enough to even try to count the peo ple who came in for dinner, but there were, counting our regular boarders, about 4 0 and among them were W. E. Hainond, president of the company; Fred Pettygrew secretary, Kalph Cowglll, chief civil engineer, C. M. Thomas, attorney for the company. Mr. Thomas was accompanied by K. C. Dillard, consulting engineer tor the district. Mr. G. E. Miller,, presi dent of n bond company of Portland. Ore., that bought the bonds some time ago, was present, accompanied u) Mr. Cunningham, his engineer. Also wo had Newton C. Chaney. secretary for the Jackson County Farm Bureau, who Is now working for the Jackson county fair and ex hibit. He wus trying to have Eagle Point have an exhibit to show some of tho products of this section. There wero two men out here a few weeks ago gathering grasses and other things of the vegetable kingdom to place on exhibit, but suppose that they will be credited to Medford. as usual, but when it comes to our ex hibit of what is taken directly from here by the produced and labeled with the name of the producer as well as having it placed among the Eagle Point products that we will lie properly credited. We have not for gotten the time when there was a national exhibition of fruit and the carload of apples awarded the first prize by the committee and was raised on the H. B. Tronson orchard situated on Little Butte creek and irrigated from that stream wag credited as be ing one of the Medford orchards altho the fruit was raised two miles above Eagle Point and fourteen miles from Medford. The committee proposes to donate to each community securing 6C points out of 100. Ho is also working on livestock and individual exhibits and we do hope that he will prove suc cessful In his undertaking to make the Jackson county fair a glowing success have the law enfiivrd. it doesn't rn-nn ir.:tt ths remjin.ivr tav-T f-r-.ikir.K i:.

The vote seems to confirm the con tentions of the returned soldiers many of whom claimed that the pro hibition amendment was put into ef fect when they were in France and would have no voice in the matter, though we never could see why any body could object to a law that wu? calculated to prevent them making fools of themselves. The vote on the bonus measure is. no doubt, a surprise to many people too. Out of over 600,000 ballots, the vot stands 301.000 for the bonus and 3j000 against it. Considering the fact that, most of the vot of the ex soldiers and their families would probably be for H. and that they con stitute nearly half the voting popula tion, this showing is remarkable. In Oregon the vote Is a hoss race, being 10&y for the bonus and S35 againt. Corvallts Oazetie Tim'.. but will also induce our enterprising citizens of this community to get busy and secure the 66 points. Last Saturday I made my regular weekly trip to Medford and after call ing on my doctor, W. W. P. Holt, my daughter took me out somewhere in the city to visit one of my old time families J. B. Welch, wife and daugh ter, Mrs. Nellie Prock, Mr. Welch be ing one of the pioneer sawmill men of whom I bought lumber in the early TVs he being ninety years of age his next birthday, and Nellie, as we always called her, now the mother of five husky children, her oldest being a fine looking young man just entering the state of manhood. For me to say that we had a royal good time in talking over incidents of former days, the trials and hardships of a pioneer life, tho risks and dangers through which we passed and thought but little of them as they passed, but there was one incident that occurred a few years ago with him that causes me to shud der as I recall hearing of it through the Mall Tribune, and that was hear ing him tell it as unconcernedly as though it was a matter of no conse quence, and that was, as he was out riding on horseback in the mountains beyond The Meadows, and having his horse fall," and he having his leg broke and lying helpless in the cold storm (for he said it rained for fourteen hours out of the thirty-two hours) that he lay there helpless with no prospect of having any relief, for no one had any idea where to go to look for him, suffering not only from the fall but a broken leg, with death starring him in the face. I remarked that I could not see how he ever lived through such an ordeal and he replied that he simply had determined not to die. And the doctors who attended to his case declared that he could not live a week, still he is a hale and hearty old man and he is talking of going down into the grape growing part of California where -they raise grapes, and go to work packing graes. He says that if he can't get around as well as he used to he can pick them off of the big bunches and pack them as well as the boys and girls. We may thank that kind of stock for the wonderful development of our won derful country. When we returned that evening Mrs. Maud Stickle of the Golden Rule store, in .Medford where she has been work ing for the past five years, came out with us to make a visit, returning Sun day evening.
