T HE MAIL TRIBUNE in in receipt of a communication, of X which the following is an extract: Do you know that one of the moat prominent ranchers in the valley has left for California and will not return until southern Oreeon acedea and joins California? Well that's a fact. And there are thouxand of loyal citizens in Southern Oregon in both JackMn and Klamath counties who feel the same way. They are tired of beine squeezed and impoverished and bull dozed by Portland and the Willamette valley and a lot of sanctimo nious moflabacks in Salem. The people In the Rogue River valley are Californians in spirit- They have the pep and go-get-'em stuff in them. Portland and the Willamette valley is a mill stone about their netXa. Look at this football same: Medford had the beat team, and was there with the coin, but what did Portland do Play the dog in the manger act as usual, and then throw her influence to Corvai 11. Portland has never done anything for Southern Oregon in her life but take her money. The best thing that could happen to Jarkson county would be to extend the California line to the Cmpqua divide. Undoubtedly a great many people hereabouts would second the motion of our indignant correspondent, particularly since the foot ball controversy. And The Mail Tribune will agree that if Medford had Portland's population and resources, or if Portland had Med-f-ird's enterprising and metropolitan spirit the state of Oregou would be the better for it. But secession hardly seems a practical proposition at the present moment. Moreover, if our correspondent will journey into Northern California, he will find a resentment there against the California me tropolis similar to the resentment here against Portland. The com plaint is common with communities far from the center of population who feel they arc neglected, and are neglected, for the simple reason that when it comes to securing appropriations and improvements, they haven't the votes. But before wc have civil war, wouldn't it be advisable to try to bring about better conditions within the state, rather than attempt to secede from the state. Oregon has her faults, but she also has her virtues. As far as growth and future prospects arc concerned South ern Oregon today is, according to reliable statistics far ahead of Nor thern California, at least as far south as Redding. Let's bo patient a few years longer. As far as football is concern ed, a plan is now underway whereby a state high school champion will be officially proclaimed in 1923. Let's forget the past and go after that championship. And finally, let's concentrate upon making .Southern Oregon a better place in which to live, economically, so cially and industrially. Success is not a matter of latitude and'long titude, nor does a change of sovereignty necessarily mean a change in material conditions. The spirit that has made California will also make Oregon. Wc have that spirit. Don't take it south. Keep it at home. scon HIGH s. TEAM ARRIVES PARADE STAGED PORTLAND, Ore., Dec 29. A score of automobile loads of Corvallis citi zens welcomed to the stale today the Scott high school football team of To ledo, Ohio, which is to meet the Cor vallis high school team at Corvallis New Year's day. After breakfast at a hotel, a parade" through the city was staged. Corvallis men reported that Coach Roy "Spec" Keene. of their high school had been giving his team hard work outs this week. Plan3 for a banquet to both the teams after the game, tendered by tin Corvallis. high school alumni were announced. Quill Points PORTLAND, Ore.. Dec. 29. Revis ion of rules of the State High School Athletic association to permit definite determination of the state high school football championship was one of the important matters before the associa tion meeting in annual convention here today. Dividing the state Into zones, with games between the leaders in these zones and with a final contest to de termine the state championship is one rule proposed to avoid a situation like that which developed this year when Medford, with an unbeaten record in the southern section and Corvallis. in the Willamette valley, extended for the game with the Scott high school of Toledo, Ohio. The list of surplus war material includes race prejudice. It might be worse. Wc have the K. K. K., but we hear less of K-K-K-Katy. Dictionaries are funny things. In ours, repentance comes before satiety. PASADENA, Cal.. Dec. 29. Football fans say that rain January 1 will bene fit the Pennsylvania State college foot ball team in the game against the Uni versity of Southern California In the sports feature of the 31th annual tour nament of roses. The NJttany Lions, they say, are used to playing on a heavy field, while the Trojans have played nearly all their contests this season on fields that were dry and fast The man who.wrotc.',' Joy conicth in the morning" lived before the time of alarm clocks. " i ' - - The theory of punishment is all right, but some children arc too severe with their parents. Still, men might wear low-neck shirts in winter if they thought their throats attractive. "Woman" is a wonderful word. And the more wonderful the voman, the less she cares about being called a "lady." If a man is on his toes, that means he is full of pep, but in the case of a woman, it only mcuns French heels. The war period gave us many new expressions, but it robbed us of "Say when." So live that you will never have to explain to your wife that you rtally didn't care a darn for the woman. Correct this sentence: "I wauted the living room done in a rich red," said the wife, "but John insisted on a )vilc violet." In this progressive age wc not only have women on the juries, but nn increasing number of women before the juries. Another fault of our civilization is that it is too easy to forget praise of n good man and loo easy to remember scandal. RipplingRhutros Df won naron GERMAN MONEY. A MILLION German marks I took, and bought a stick of gum; "To such a pass," I said, "gadzook, has this great nation come. Her coin was once as good as wheat, a single mark would buy as much of kraut as one could eat, and ckc a liver pie. But now if I would buy hardtack, three tons of wealth I weigh; it takes as much as I can stack upon a coalman's dray." I sec the Germans clean the till to buy a can of peas, and then I think of Kaiser Bill who tasks in gilded case. No luxury's to him de nied, this first of rust-off kings; he lately took himself a bride, and brides arc costly things. No griefs financial spoil his days or make his soul repine, he does not haul the coin in drays when he would buy a stein. If there is one who should endure the penal ties of war, who should be hungry, sad and poor, it's this ex-emperor. But he's the only German skate who is from woe afar; he doesn't spend a hundred-weight of marks for a cigar. His former subjects daily Imrst in tears and anguished groans; it takes, to buy a pound of wurst. a ton of German bones. If they would buy a quart of nails they must provide two trucks, and on them pile, in hales on bales, all kinds of German bucks. SALT LAKE CITY Maury Slack, outfielder of the Salt Lake City Partfic Coast league, has been sold to New Orleans of the Southern association. MILWAUKEE Johnny Dundee, jun ior lightweight chaailou .boxef-nd Tommy O'Brien of California are pre pared for their ten round no-decision contest before a local club tonight. The stipulated weight for the battle was 135 pounds at 3 p. m. today. Picture Scores Big Hit, Rialto You've heard the old saying that be cause the mountain would not come to Mahomet Mahomet went to the mouu tain. The patrons of the Rialto theatre who could not go to the Rocky Mountains In Canada are having them brought to them this week in "The Valley of Silent Men,? featuring Alma Rubens. The picture has realism, thrills and punch from the opening to the closing scenes. The work of Miss Rubens in the trying role of a Canadian Girl is admirable. Lew Cody is artistic as leading man and the work of Joe King, George Nash, Mario Majeroni and J. W. Johnston was highly effective. "Clarence" Delightful Comedy Genuine mirth "is constantly in evi dence at the Page theatre this week during the presentation of a comedy classic, "Clarence." "Clarence" is tho story of an absent minded soldier whom fate selects t" be the cementing influence in the lives of a squabbling family. Ills sincerity wins the confidence of the disputants and he tactfully arranges matters so that everybody is happy and content ed. Wallace Reid proves himself one of tho most humorous players on the screen. As Violet Pinney, the governess who apiiears to be the family's storm cen ter. Agnes Ayres is charming and con vincing. May McAvoy believes the entire world should stop and with bated breath to watch the progress of her first love. Tho supporting players were excel lent In their respective portrayals.
