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.

JINKS insists that being settled doesn't pay; like a charger,

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.

becaufc were the Volstead act repeal

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,

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

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.

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.
