SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.
California hasn't seen the like of It
in forty years! Not a drop of rain
since January and none in Bight. The
road from Yroka to Redding Is us
dusty now as it usually Is In Aug
uBt. And the "oad through the Sac
ramento canyon Is as fine now as It
usually Is In mid-summer which Is
saying a good deal for a mountain
road. Clear sunshine every day in
March and only one or two cloudy
duys in February. The garage peo-
pio like It; so do the hotels, for there
has been a record breaking crop of
tourists for this time of the year
Hut the farmers and stockmen don't
like It a little bit. They are all euro
Ing out the weather m'.z and praying
for rain. It's the driest spring since
1883.
In Redding everything looks the
last of March like midsummer. The
women are sitting on the front lawns
in summer dresses doing fancy work
or whatever It Is women do on
their front lawns with thread and
needles. The roues are In full bloom
so are the lilacs, while the Sacra
mento valley is a gorgeous modly of
colors, California poppies, blue bells
and daisies, a marvellously beauti
ful curpet with tho purple mountains
In the background.
They havo a golf club now In
Redding, have Just Btarted playing
with over 100 members and the
stores are full of golf paraphernalia.
In fact Medford appears to be the
only place on the Pacific coast over
BOOO population that hasn't a golf
club. Redding only claims 4000.
Yos, thoy do things in California.
Corning, California, with a popu
lation of 2000 now Is the popular
place for tourists to stay over night
on tho trek between Medford and
San Francisco. Coining has a splen
did hotol, and It is even necessary
now to wire ahead If you want ac
commodations. The hot weather has
advanced the season a couple of
months. Sleeping porches on the
roof are now in commission and thoy
havo Just started to fill tho swim
ming pool off the hotol court yard.
drug store and they all talk as If
they were secretaries of the Chamber
of Commerce. Tbey don't boost their
own line, they don't knock th
competitors, they boost Corning. Its
the best Jittlo town in Creation, It
grows the best olives in the world,
the heBt flavored oranges, do you
know the north California flavor,
and the scenery (which by the way
is no scenery at all) Is something
Inspiring. Have you seen Mt. Lassen
in the sunset and have you been up
In the tower and looked over the sa
lubrious landscape?
"I don't know where they get that
sort of spirit, but they do get It, and
Us tho spirit of California. They
nil work together, and they work
everyone elBe. If a rancher doesn't
make a success thoy don't say 'that's
hard luck. Poor Jones is broke.'
They all chip in and find out what's
wrong and proceed to correct the er
ror. The bankers work with the
ranchers, loan them money for six
or soven per cent, and If the right
type of Queen olives aren't In the
ground, they proceed to see that the
proper trees are put In or tho old
trees are properly grafted. It isn't
.Tone's problem. It Is Coming's
problem and California's problem.
Oregon has more natural wealth than
northern California ever dreamed of
out Oregon wastes her time knocking
nnd growling and blaming the other
fellow. Corning Is after more irriga
tion now and when I say Corning, I
say every man and woman in It.
They are all out for water. They have
artesian wells now and pump their
water. It costs from $4 to $10 per
acre, every year. But they want water
storage and they are going to get it.
1 don t know why there should be
one spirit north of tho Sisklyous and
another entirely different spirit
south, but there is. I know for I
have lived on both sides."
Yes, that's old stuff, and still one
wonders if it is all bunk. I did meet
one rancher about 70 miles north of
Sun Francisco who had a savage dog.

Is reached they respond automatical

What Is the matter with Oregon?
And what Isn't the mattor with Cali
fornia? An ox-Orcgonlan now living
in California undertook to answer
the question today. Ho wasn't par
ticularly original. He Bald Callfor
nianB worked together and Oregon
Inns didn't. That's old BtuTf aqd
somehow sounds too simple. But his
explanation may be Interesting. . This
is whnt he said in part:
"Look at this little town of Corn
ing. They are all pulling together.
You gd Into a grocery store or a
"Rotten," said ho, with a decided
Corman accent. "I used to bo a cob
bler In San Francisco and I thought
I would be happier if I grew some
thing and lived in the country. Well
I ain't. Grain Is too high and eggs
too low and there alnt no rain -any-
more and I wish I was back In my
shop In San Francisco. So doos
Ma-ma. And my oldest boy ho died
last wlnter'wlth the flu. No I don't
like this country business. You can't
make a living at It."
But he Is still loyal to California.
Ho doesn't want to move to Salt Lake
City or Chicago. He wants to go
back to San Francisco.
Probably that's the California
spirit too, rwlth reverso English so
to speak.
Tho "Wur fry-
That which is of great Importance
to the business men and women
especially, and to every one In gene
ral In the city of Medford. In the est!
mutlon of myself and others is the
careful reading of the Salvutlon
Army "War Cry." . This is neceHsary
to give them a proper understanding
or Its purpose and work.
Many buy tho "War Cry" Just to
help tho Army and never look inside
the covers. This desire to help is
groatly appreciated, but the "War
Cry" Is not sold for the purpose of
financial sain. Their cost is seven
and ono-bulf cents per copy. The
margin is small.
They are sold for tho purposes of
educating tho friends and convincing
the enemies (though few) of the Sal
vation Army thut its nurpoBes and
aims are true and broad.
You may wonder nnd nslt vourself
this quostion. "Why am I asked to
buy the 'Wnr Cry'?" Here Is the
answer: Hecnuso wo believe you
are Interested in tho Army. It is
full of real human interest. Spiritual
action and reaction are reflected in
Its pages in a way they aro found
nowhere else nnd to tho psychologist
it presents an absorbing study. In but
rew papers Ho men and women lay
bare their hearts, revealing the bo
crets of that greatest, yet simplest of
all mysterlcB, Cod's dealings with
man.
It contnlns bo much that is of in
terest, stories that take dne to other
peoples and lands. It is a guide to
good and true citizenship as well as
true religion.
Its spirit will bless and cheer you,
if downhearted and most business
men have a heart, though hard to
reach at times. Their facial expres
slon is not always an indicator to the
true feeling of their hearts.
Its pictures, stories and articles
will helpfully Interest you If you feel
it right to give a few moments to
profitable reading. Its standpoint
win broaden your outlook on life and
help you appreciate the world wide
work of the Hulvatlon Army. Its flag
riles In 70 countries and colonies and
tho gospel is preached by the Salva
tlon Army in nearly 60 languuges. It
Is tho largest missionary organization
in the world.
And Mr. Duslnoss Man, if you are
away from (Jod, it will show you the
wuy to Him, not by theory only, but
by the example of others as well
who have found him.
Will you co-operato with the Sal
vation Army In Medford In every way

relieve suffering and bless humanity

TllK CUIMK wave still keeps up its lick; the grim statistics

narratives of crime, and all the morgues nnd all the jails aro full

wave hits mo every day, I'm often charged two bucks or more
for meals that make my innards sore. Some restaurant hangs out
a sign, and Imply I go there to dine. The meat is tough and
badly cooked, the fish was tlcad when it was hooked, the coffee's
cold, of muddy hue, the piecrust tastes of liquid glue, and every
thing is stnl and sour, there's nothing that I can devour. I dig
two dollars from my rags, and sigh, "This crime wnve never sags;
it's up and coming all the time; some things wink out, but never
crime." I travel much, through dales and dells, and sometimes

I,roel,ved y appointment as a member of the State Game Com
i V?. J ,February. 1921- I served on this commission until June, 1922,
at which time I resigned. Prior to this time, and for many years, there
had been a constantly growing difference and an increasingly bitter con
flict between tho game interests and the great commercial fishing Interests,
the fight culminating in the 1921 session of the legislature, creating a new
i. . T i"""s mo juua nan uuu game commissions, dividing their
physical assets, and for the first time giving the game Interests full and
coinplote Independence and freedom from domination by tho commercial
crowd. The intent of the net creating this independent board was to
make it non-political, so that it might function normally and honestly and
efficiently in the great work of protecting and preserving the wild life of
party wlthout ,ear of interference from job-hunting politicians of any
In tho sixteen months that I served on this board, politics did not
entor into its discussions or its deliberations. This board composed of
members of both political parties, worked together in harmony of purpose,
like the board ot directors of any other big business institution, without
thought ot partisan or political advantage.
One of the ablest and most Influential members of this board was
a mighty fine democrat from eastern Oregon, Blaine Hallock, of Baker.
This new commission from the very first meeting started In to
eliminate politics from the game organization and tn nnrvo nntino iha
professional politicians that there were no places open In the game service
for their henchmen and heelers, political game wardens kept on the pay
roll for political, services rendered, and holding their position next to the
pie-counter through political null and pressure. Of this nlajia nt on, nlnvana
the new commission quickly purged the payrolls, and I had the exquisite
pleasure of deeply offending one or two republican politicians by moving
in open meting that their pets be separated permanently, from organization j
nourishment. And when a man applied to the commission or the state
game warden for a position , in the game service, his political affiliations I
were not Inquired into, but his ability, who recommended him, and his
special qualifications were made the subject for strict investigation.
Under this sound system large sums of monev have neon Aniini-tnrl
from the sportsmen ot the state and honestly and intelligently disbursed for
the benefit of the whole people. An organization ot splendid morale has
been built up, a large amount of valuable property, equipment, etc., has
been ncqulred, with title vested in the state and operated in the interest
and for the pleasure and profit of the people of the whole state. There
have been no charges of waste or misappropriation of funds made against
this independent -commission. It has been kept free from the curse of
political dickering and jobbery, nnd the past two years hove been years
of peace and constructive achievement. In other words and to sum up,
this new game commission has always thought and acted in terms of service
to the public and not in terms of party or political advantage.
Now, what I have just written has been a pleasure to write; It deals
with something constructive, something worth while. It deals with honest
and honorable men, conducting a big enterprise in an honest and honor
able way. What follows will deal with jugglery, dishonor and dorblo
deallng. .
I don't suppose any party ever had a weaker candidate for governor
than tho republican party had In the campaign of 1922. 'Ben Olcott had
never displayed any loyalty to the republican party. Many ot his prin
cipal political advisors were partisan democrats. i
Just prior to and during tho 1922 campaign an unusual situation
had developed In Oregon. Either through inclination, bad advice, or poor
judgment, the Governor was persuaded to pursue a course that threw the
thought of the state into a great ferment, and which almost obliterated
party lines. This upheaval landed Walter M. Pierce, an eastern Oregon
democrat in the Governor's chair. J
Now candidate Pierce, understanding fully the resentment felt by
tho sportsmen of Jackson County over tho appointment by Olcott of Louis
uean, a Willamette vaney man on tne game commission, when that part
oi mo siaie aireaoy naa two aoie representatives, and In an effort to
capitalize that resentment for his own political advantage, voluntarily made
a definite pledge to the Jackson County Game Protective Association, that
ii tnutiuu guveniur ne wouiu appoint any man iney mignt select as
member of the State Game Commission. .
Now remember that the Jackson County Game Protective Associa
tion is a non-pouticai Douy. it is composed of men of all political faiths,
It wunts to keep out of politics, and it wants to keep the state game organ
ization out of the clutches of any political machine.-
So when Pierce was elected, knowing the nosltive. definite nrn-elnn.
lion promise he had made, the association proceeded to select a man to go
on tho game commission when Beun's' term would expire, on tho 25th of
reuruary.
The officers nnd active members of the association held several
pow-wows. Members of both political parties were freely consulted, and that
no loop holes might be. left open for double-crossing, we advised with and
consulted seasoned and reliable democrats, like Claude Cate, VV. H. Canon,
Mose Uarkdull, Christ Gottlieb, and others, and we finally selected A. L.
hui, a man oi sucn nigu cnnracier and standing, such wide experience.
and with such a reputation for honest and honorable dealing, that we felt
that the wliolo of southern Oregon would feel proud of the appointment
nun tnnt it wouiu add strengtn and distinction to the governor s adminis
tration. ,
After Hill had been agreed on the association Invited Governor
Plorce to be its guest of honor at their second annual banquet, to be hebl on
tho 3rd of February. In the history of Medford no public man has ever
received such a reception. Fully eighty per cent ot that great gathering
were republicans, rrienoiy commence was supreme, not a doubt was ex
pressed. That very day tho governor had assured a half dozen responsible
members of tho association that their representative would be appointed
on the name commission. If we could only hae Drobed tho rtnntha nf hu
man depravity, and known that this "white face" Judas from eastern Ore
gon was, In a few short weeks, going to break a solemn pre-election promise,
nnd instead ot appointing the choice of the association, appoint the chalr
ninn of the democratic county committee, a man who never asked for the
endorsement of the association, nor could have received it had he asked
It! It a suspicion even hud existed of what was going to happen, the Rex
cafe would have accommodated all who would have attended this
reception.
Now tho sportsmen ot Jackson county, and of the whole state, for
that matter, might just as well look the horse squarely In the mouth. Doc
Morrow of Portland and othor hnrdboiled democratic bosses are starting
out to build a machine. The sportsmen ot this state are raising a yearly
fund of around $250,000 to $300,000 to finance the activities of the game
organization. This gang is itching to get its dirty fingers into this fund and
to control tho payroll ot tho organization. It we allow this to happen you
will see the experts nnd specialists now In the game department, and the
hatchery and egg taking departments fired and "deserving democrats" put
tn their places.
How would you like to see a chuckle-headed politician, trying to run
Captain llurglutuff's big job, or a machine democrat running Jim Berrian's
hatchery at Butto Falls
Now I don't have much of a grouch. I don't a great deal mind get
ting licked in a fair fight. W got just what was coming to us for trying
to play clean ball with this treacherous dishonorable crowd. We went in
with the fnlth ot Sunday school children, and wo came out disillusioned.
Governor Pierce don't owe me anything. 1 did not vote for him. and
If ho did owo me anything, I know now ho wouldn't pay it, it Doc Morrow
could havo a talk with him Just before It came due.
The Jackson County Game Protective association knows exactly
what the plans of this bunch of hungry political highbinders are. Nothing
hut a thoroughly aroused public sentiment can prevent them from carrying
out their treacherous designs on tho gains organization.
