MARSHALL'S TALE
THRILLS AUDIENCE!
The slng-soner roar nf lions, tho
lithe Aten of tho lonnnrd r.nrt thn
trroeil of hyenas r,nd jackals; the
ominous darkness, alive and l-hls-j
perlnff. known in the thick of the
African jungle; tho native negro I
with his superstitions and strange
prophetic power all were vitalized
Friday night for residents of Med
ford who attended the lecture given
by Edison Marshall, author of In
ternational fame, big game hunter,
nnd former resident of this city,
now vacationing with relatives and
friends in Medford.
The First Presbyterian church
was filled with old and new friendc.
who came to hear of the author's
latest experiences with the ele
ments of uncivilized nature. Choos
ing the narrative as his Vehicle,
Mr. Marshall took the audience
through that land, where condi
tions remain unchanged since ths
ice age, allowing his listeners to
follow htm through the events of
"One African Night..
Preceding the lecture, the audi
ence was entertained with several
orchestra' numbers presented n
nieces nnd nephew nf Mr. Mar
shall: Donna. Claire, David, Billy
and Dick Colvig. and Marjorie
Marshall. The program of the
young artists was enthusiastica'Iv
received by the audience, which
fell in love with the infant violin
tet. Dick. The author was then in
troduced by Porter J. Neff, master
of ceremonies.
An appreciation of the age In
which he is living was voiced by
Mr. Marshall before he entered his
fascinating story of the jungl".
"This is the most dramatic age of
all time." he stated. "The- most ad
venturous, it Is also the most
bloody century of all time, having
already witnessed four great con
flicts. I am not sorry thot I did
not live during the Elizabethan
period, when so many explora
tions were made. I am glad I am
living now. During tho next 60
years great slumbering forces wM
awaken to amaze the Imagination.
You feel these forces In Africa."
To convince his audience that
he is not a brave man and that
the feats he performed during his
; game hunt should not be placed
within the realm of impossibility.
Mr. Marshall admitted, "I wes
afraid when I went to Africa, AnJ
more afraid when I came back. 1
didn't feel like getting familiar
with the Hons at all.1
His story for the evening open
ed following his arrival In Kafct
Africa and ncquintance with Old
Cotter, veteran hilnter, who founl
life In Texas 30 years ago too tarn
so journeyed Into the jungle. After
describing this picturesque charac
ter, who has killed his quota of
lions, he proceeded to tell what the
"(ircat Red Gods" produced for
his entertainment during one ap
palling night.
The scene was arranged by Old
Cotter. Mr. Marshall nnd a negro
boy were stationed within a small
thicket of thorns. A zebra', shot
earlier In the day, was staked to
the ground outside the thicker.
Darkness crept over the land,
where heasts as well as men are
lean. The dusk was accompanied
hy vultures which swooped down
into the trees to wait for the light
and devour the remains of the an!
mnl.
The drama open?d for Mr. Mar
shall, he- told his audience, Friday
night, when tho darkness became
filled with noises nnd motion. The
little jackals were the first ani
mals to come and sample the ze
bra's flesh. They were followed by
hyenas. Then a leopard approach
ed the bait with determined steps.
The hyenas disappeared and the
author, simultaneously, felt the
short hairs on his neck stiffening.
A snap of the flashlight revealed
to him the most beautiful ani
mal he had ever viewed, and crent
ed a desire to kill. The shooting cf
the animal was reviewed by Mr,
Marshall In a few words. "The big
gest problem was how to get him
into the Bomah after he was kill
ed," he added. "I somehow didn't
want to go out among the animals.'
With the aid of the negro, how
ever. Mr. Marshall dragged the ant
mat behind the thicket of thorns
The leopard was followed by
Hons, and then occurred tho final
drama of the night. "The one ar
ranged for me hy the Great Red
Clods." Mr. Marshall stated.
The Hons left the bait and tho
approach of a great and powerful
animal was announced by a snort
that ripped the air. Tho tricking of
the rhlnocerous with the flashlight,
which resulted In the escape from
death for author and negro, wis
described by Mr. Marshall, and was
the fascinating conclusion of his
lecture.

DESPITE ILL DAYS,

In 1S67 he nttended the grand

Veterlay afternoon with three
other residents of the Jackson
., nnnr nPm ht ttpnded th
showing of "The Rogue Song" at
the Craterian .theater as guest of
the manager, S. G. Mendenhall and
Win. Isaacs, owner of The Tog
gery, lie was 29 years old then.
He Is now It2. But the sparkle
In his keen brown eyes has not
been dimmed by years or circum
stances. John Xoon is his name.
Ue made his money when there
was "Gold in them there moun
tains," and he spent It traveling,
he told his hosts yesterday. "And
now I have a world of memories
and the poor house to boot," he
added with a chuckle.
Other members of the party who
liked "the pretty girls and the
singing" in the show were: F. 10.
Stanton It. II. Price and K. D.
Dickey, ranging in ages from 83
to (JO.
"I call It the triumph of Imi
tative science," Mr. Noon said,
when asked his opinion of the sec
ond talking picture he has witness
ed. He stroked his white beard,
which was partially covered by a
large white flannel cloth, worn to
protect his ears while driving, then
continued, "The talkies have cer
tainly brought theatricals Into tho
field of science.
"I have "seen grand opera in
Paris, but that man in the show
(meaning Lawrence Tibbett) Is no
doubt the world's greatest bari
tone. He has the best human
voice I've ever listened to nnd
Jenny Lind was the first public
singer I ever heard."
Asked how he did so much
traveling In his youth, Mr. Noon
explained. "I dug gold out of
these mountains nnd I wanted to
get some good out of it so I spent
it traveling. I went to ICngiand,
Ireland, Wales nnd Scotland, you
see I'm a Scotch American;
France, Germany, Denmark, Nor
way, Greece and Turkey. I took
no one but myself. We were ship
wrecked on the coast of Ireland.
And I'm telling you that's a good
place for a ship wreck. The peo
ple carried us around In their
ha nils."
Speaking of the ease with which
he travels about at his age the
old miner declared. "I've only one
had hahlt. That's tobacco." Ques
tioned about liquor, he admitted
he has drunk his share of beer,
having lived for many years where
"the water wasn't safe." But re
fused to call beer a bad habit.
He joined the union army dur
ing the Civil war just before the
battle of Mission Uidge. but had
little to say about his fighting
career. His Interest Is still in gold,
although he mined his last eleven
years ago.
I came to Oregon for the first
time in 1 S59 but went hack east
again." he stated. "I came again
in '8tl nnd brought a partner with
me. I came here the third time
In 1910, just as you see me now."
He laughed and surveyed his com
mon clothing. "I married In t8
and bought a ranch In Minnesota.
Ten years later my wife died leav
ing me four little boys to care for.
I've lost track of them all."
The party started for the nuto
and he moved forward to join
them. "Any time you want to
ask questions,'1 he motioned to the
reporter, "I'll be glad to answer
them. He drew the white scarf
closer about his face, thus Increas

eyes.

RRIGATION SAID
TO BE SOURCE OF.
VALLEY WELFARE
To the Editor:
Did it ever occur to you that
the reason Medford today Is class
ed as "A Twelve Million Dollar
City," is the existence of the five
irrigation systems which are trib
utary to Medford? This brings
up the thought, what will con
tinue the advancement of Med
ford when no more water Is avail
able to make the desert blossom
as the rose.
The state water master will tell
you, if you interview him, that
there is practically no more wa-
available from any of the
streams, flowing into Bogue river,
and none from the river Itself,
aside from flood water. It is
true there are quite a number of
reservoir sites which can he util
ized, hut they will only partly sup
ply the future demand.
This fact alone stresses the Im
portance of the Squaw lake devel
opment project. When the mines
are completely exhausted tho wa
ter pipe In from this sou roe will i
open up a tract of mountain-slope
land of several thousand acres j
which would otherwise remain as I
it Is now, waste land in brush for 1
all time. With water added to tho
fertility of this land, it will prove
among the most profitable In
southern Oregon. As we under
stand It, tho pressure from the
higher pipe line will enable the
grower to Install the Skinner Irri
gating system, which In addition
to a water supply will prolong the
season indefinitely in the fall,
when fresh tomatoes double In
value, and at least one-half of en
tire setting Is green on the vines
and can be miido marketable by
ripening after the first frost.
The next big undertaking In this
valley will be either a proper fi
nancing of our present cannery,
or the installation of a new plant
of sufficient capacity to handle
the bulk of our Bartlett pear crop.
The grower thinks that the proper
course would be to enable the
present cannery to expand to fill
the field because of the very sat
isfactory service they have ren
dered in the past, and because
of the fact that they know the
requirements of the trade and have
their market already established
A large proportion of their trade
is foreign, and the men overseas
prefer the pears from this valley
to anything elso offering. Like
the timber business, however, It
requires targes capital to handle
properly, nnd a banker recently
stated here that similar proposl
tions to tho north have paid 1 5
per cent profit yearly, even If
handicapped by freight two ways,
and no local production- of either
pears or tomatoes, which are in
perfection lh this valley.
This development Is very lm
portant, and wo learn nn old
timer will devote nn hour ti
broadcasting ovaer KM ED from
eight to nine o'clock tomorrow
Monday evening, his views of the
matter. We think It advisable to
listen in. for the time Is even
now at hand when this will be
the only available source of sup
ply for water for Irrigating gar
dens or orchards In the foothills.

Aviation company of Kansas City,
features side hy side seating and
boasts of five other features not

accommodate two traveling rolls.
The Inland Sport, said Mr. Wil
