I lu viujr heard of the wonderful trout fishin-? on lioue River,
and the iiatural'l'cuiity of the country, Mr. Sparks arrived last
Friday to try Ids luck at fishin-.-, and if lie found reports of the
country to be true, he planned to buy a place on Rotie River,

steelhead fishing would improve malerially in August, but that,
the permanent life of the sport depended upon the passage of
the initiative measure closing Rojiue River to commercial fish-,

.Mr. Sparks left on the Shasta, last night for Hollywood, with
out u fish and without purchasiiiK any riva1 property. Before
hnartliii-; the train, he remarked
of the Mail-Tribune :

for my new summer homo. I am nn ardent rishorman. 1 have
fished and hunted everywhere on this const from San IJJeKO to Iho
northern tip of Alaska. I have a hunting lodge in C'unadn. Hut
for real fishin-- and luuilliiK and Iho unspoiled glories of outdoor

you may iuoto me If you like. I have subscribed for yoar paper

II is not scenery that attracts Mr. Sparks, or well-to-do

ficenery in California. It is not jjooil liuiitinjf, iilthoiifrh limit in-;

of this ifi-eat recrealional asset, in Southern Oregon, depends
entirely upon the development and preservation of this sport.
When the Ro;iie River cases to be a -jootl trout fisliini;

Valley, but the eutir-; stale, loses one of its prenlest assets,
ami, incidentally, one of the stale's -;reiilest charms.
Not only should this measure receive unanimous support in
Southern Oregon but it should be similarly supported throii'th

Political theories, like business theories, rise or fall, not on

Well, last Saturday liny liad their opportunity. And Mr.

AS we pointed out yesterday, there was no machine control of
the convent inn. No hcnvy-.jowled boss in a hotel room de
termined the result. The outcome was the natural product of
perfectly free autl imt rammeled forces, but the outcome not
only failed to arouse enthusiasm anuuitr the people, but even
among- the delegates. The only alibi for the latter was that, un

TWO CASKS OF ClIUOMO lirXNIXG EAJt AXD
MASTOIDITIS
A woman 32 years old had had a
running ear since an attack of
acini-let fever In childhood. In tho
last few years Hhe had had oar-
cts u.t tiWi.es when the discharge
wii8 suppressed.
The discharge hnd
a foul odor and
whs very profuse.
She kept tho enr
plugged with cot
ton to protect her
clothing and bed
clothing from be
ing soiled '.by the
discharge. It is
always bad to
wear a plug of cotton in a running
ear. The mischievous and danger
ous germs are encouraged by such
coddling; whereas freo ventilation
of the ear nJways discourages the
harmful germs. I cannot impress
this fact too firmly upon readers
who have running ear; or upon
readers who have children with
such trouble. How often we see
a misguided victim of some chro
nic ear trouble wearing a plug of
cotton, even when there is no ex
ternat d Jscinyge. but merely with
a vague idea that it protects the
ear against "taking cold." Our old
fugy health authorities are to
blame for that. Besides the offen
sive ear disc harge, which restricted
the woman's social life, and the
earaches, she had been troubled
with buzzing noise in the affected
ear for 15 years.
Kxamfnation of the ear showed
a largo polyp occluding tho canal.
Tho doctor removed this with
snare. Then he was able to see
that the drum membrane and part
of the bones of the middle eur
were missing had been destroyed
by the years of suppuration. After
this the ear remained dry for sev
eral weeks, then discharged pro
fusely again for a time, and the
patient complained of a new symp
tom, dizziness. Now the doctor
advised operation, but the patient
preferred to continue palliative
treatment a while, as she felt sure
she had improved after removal of
the polyp and the medicinal appli
CiUiinis tho doctor made. fc$o even
tuully she was cured, that Is the
ear 'discharge ceased and she had
no further trouble.
Another woman uged 44 had
acute tonsilitls in JUarch, and de
veloped earache after two days of
yore throat, and an ear discharge
the third day. Then her doctor
incised the ear drum to encourage
proper drainage. This is a stan
dard practice, tho, speaking as a
mere general practitioner, not nn
ear specialist, I am skeptical about
its value. Two days later the pa
tient was sick and no mistake,
fever, profuse muco-purulcnt dis
charge from ear, intense stuffiness.'
of nose, turbinates In nose found
extremely boggy. After several
days of this, with Irregular fever.
X-ray pictures indicated involve
ment of the mastoid cells, and
operation was done. No pus found
on opening Into the mastoid spaces
behind the ear. So the surgeon
went on. exposing the dura (brain
covering) and finding It normal
and poking about here and there
in hope of getting at the obscure
area of Infection commendable
enough as a general rule, tho I
confess 1 don't savvy tho practice
in mastoid surgery and one thing
and another. After a prolonged
convalescence the patient made a
good recovery.
I was going to add a description
of a third case in which similar
surgical Intervention proved simi
larly unwarranted and the patient
presently died. But let us draw
the curtain.
I think it is good conservative
teaching for me to advise patients
with chronic running car to submit
to mastoid operation only after
proper medical methods have
failed.

Hump on Noso
Friend had blow on nose which
caused bump to rise. The bruise
hus disappeared but tho bump re
mains. Is plastic surgery success
ful in such cases? (B. J. E.)
Answer. I'lastlc surgery Is ordi
nary surgery done for the purpose
of attempting to remedy a blemish
or some irregulaity of feature. I
am unable to say whether surgery
can remedy your friend's trouble.
Beware of charlatans who profess
to be plastic surgeons. A real sur
geon, one with professional stand
ing, is none too good for such op
erations. If any reputable doctor
in your community does such work
any reputable doctor there will tell
you about it. I regret I know of
only tin occasional surgeon about
the country who is dependable and
especially skilled in such work.
Ono of our queer medical .customs,
you know, is to frown on tho hon
est, reputublo, skillful doctor who
wishes to limit his practice to such
work. We do not "recognize" such
a specialty, bo he is outa luck. He
should choose some sifch simple
field as the eye, ear, nose, throat
or what have you, and then we'll
all know what his specialty is.
