You rend about the great
baseball game, seen by 50,000.
fiVo hundred thousand would
finve gone had there been room
for them. A long line, headed
by a small boy who had taken
his laee 30 hours before the
game started, waited through
the night.
More important . than the
game is the fact that even a
game of hitting, running, catch
ing and throwing depends, as
everything does, on brains.
4 A world's series is not won
by young men with muscular
legs, that swing bats and slide
to 'bases.
It is won by some Connie
MjikIc who DORS THE TIHNK
IN'd. Too old to play, Connie
Mack is not too old to think.
His team won young gentle
men, take notice.
President Hoover's announce
ment that Secretary Mellon has
promised to remain in office
until 1933 is good news. The
public appreciates the willing
ness of Mr. Mellon, one of the
two or three richest men in tins
world, to neglect 'his own busi
ness. Ie requires not. much intelli
gence' to realize to what extent
Mr. Mellon 's work has contrib
uted to national prosperity.
Himself a heavy taxpayer, di
rectly or through corporation
.ownership, Mr. Melton litis paid
off, already, many billions of
the national debt. He contin
ues the "pay as you go'-' pol
icy, not shouldering war debts
on future generations that may
be less able to pay than today's
prosperous generation.
In his speech before Con
gress, Ramsay MacDonnld im
pressed the country with his
" sincerity, when he said: "There
can be no war.
"Nay, more, it. is absolutely
impossible, if yon," and we, do
our duty in making the peaca
pact effective. No section of
our arms, whether of land or
sea or air, can ever. again come
into hostile conflict."
What MacUonald says about
'impossibility of war between
the United States and Hritain
would apply, as regards war on
a great scale, anywhere on
earth, if the I'nited States and
the liritish empire were united
in determination to discourage
and prevent war.

HEAVY GUI
IN DEPOSIIS
CITY BANKS
Four Institutions Show Total
of $7,157,956 Resources
Two Banks in Two
Million Dollar Class
Continued Increases Are
Hailed As Prosperity Indi
cation. A remarkable gain In the de
posits of the four Medford banks
over last year and two years ago
is noted in totals of the deposits
compiled today. The four bank
have a total of $7,157,556.08 of
demand and time deposits, as com
pared to the total of $5,907,1 33.4S
on deposit October 10, J 927. A
substantial gain was made In 1928,
bringing the total to $6,107,402
December 8, and another, a good
deal larger was made during the
past year, the gain during the
past fiscal year being $1,050,494.
Two banks are in the two mil
lion dollar class and a third is rap
Idly approaching that figure. The
growth of the bunks is deemed a
good sign of prosperity for south
ern Oregon and especially good in
view of the fact that Portland
banks have reported a loss for the
year. The deposits at this time
of the year are naturally larger
because of receipts of fruit crops,
bringing exceptionally high mar
ket values this season. Tno crop
value has been conservatively esti
mated around four million dollnrs,
a large share of which was ex
pended for overhead expenses, but
still leaving a large profit,-affect
ing the growth of the bonks.
Of the total of $7.1 07.150.08 on
deposit, $1,80,180 is in. savings
accounts and the remal I n g
amount, $5,277,8211.08 is on de
mand deposit. . .i

nomah County I Ear association
against Thomas Mannlx, another
Portland lawyer, asking that the

Joseph's charges In connection
with the Condit, Mannlx and Nop

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (A')
The senate lobby InvestlKiitliiB
commltteo decided today to begin
its public- hearings Tuesday.
Chairman Caraway of the com
mittee was authorized to Issue sub
poenas for witnesses but no de
cision was reached ns to the' firsl
persons to be called.
Caraway bus said he desired
Joseph It. Urundy, Washlntiton
representative of the Anieiican
tariff league, as the first witness.
"Ve are going first into the
lobby" on the tariff bill," Caraway
sold. "We -ure going to get a
list of those gentlemen who sat
around so close that no one could
get his breath while the tariff
measure was being framed."
Caraway added that Charles L.
Kyanson. a representative of the
Connecticut Manufacturers' asso
ciation, who was employed by
Senator lllngham of Connecticut,
a Kepiibltciiu member of the fi
nance committee, to assist him on
tariff matters, would ' be given
'full opportunity to explain hl:c
double salary."
Asked If lOyanson could bo pros
ecuted for drawing a private salary
while on the government payroll.
Senator Caraway said lln-ro was
a law providing for a fine and
Imprisonment for any government
employe accepting private pay,
"but I nm not pusslug Judgment
on this case."

Detroit Shipment Brings

... Fruit. Arrives . . in. Prime
Condition Committee Is
Encouraged By Sales.
The second car of Rogue River
vajlley lioscs shipped to Detroit
sold yeHterdayat an average of
$3.65 per box, an Increase of 11
cents per box over the first day's
sale, the winter pear committee
having tlio campaign In charge was
advised last night.
There was a brisk demand for
Bases from nil quarters In Detroit
and the i.logan, "Old Cold With
out, Sugared Sunshine Within,"
popularized the fruit.
The Hoses in the two cars sold
In the new market were in first
class condition, firm and tasty, of
good color, and met with a ready
public appeal.
No further ears of Hoses will be
sold on the Detroit market until
the middle of next week, because
nf a widely observed Jewish holi
day, and to prevent the market
from .becoming glutted.
The local committee, David R.
Wood, chairman, was highly en
couraged by the first sales and ad
vertising returns from radios and
newspapers, and believes that th!
demand will show a steady in
crease and a mounting price for
remaining rnrs. The low starting
price is held as favorable for li Ik It
er figures later.
Prof. Henry Ilartmann, who su
pervised the Detroit sales and con
ditioning of tile I'.oscs at Detroit,
has proceeded to New York, wheiv
he will begin his work of collecting

"The best evidence that wild life
