McClean told the court here this morning that he did not wish to sell , his Washington Post. That, for the time, settles the talk of a sale, which requires Mr. Mc Lean's consent, under his fath er's will. ; M ' . Mr. McLean looked well and cheerful, having his photo grzrY, taken, outside the court house, arm in arm with Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, , editor i of the Washington Herald, and his rival in Washington's morn ing newspaper field. M They seemed friendly rivals, none of the old feeling tlint Vnnde the Washington Post sail the New York World a yel low dog, long ago, when Mc Lean was a little boy, and Mrs. Patterson had not been born. Some of that fighting rivalry might be good for circulation. General Jan Christian Smuts of the South African republic, a British dominion, appreciates the suggestion that South Af rica may stop paying interest on her debt to Britain for one year," under the moratorium, but says NO. ' . "We are able to pay our debts, and therefore we shall do si'-'K8Mjf- Ge;neral --Smuts.' South Africa he says does not J propose to "climb down ' on its debt. ' Very eccentric person, Gen eral Smuts. Uncle Sam can name for him great nations able to pay, but willing to "climb down," with a swift ness strictly in accordance with Newton's law.. . The news of each day is like an old fashioned layer cake or a slice of Neapolitan ice cream, one layer better than the other. Immigration to this country is now lowest in sixty-six years, which means that . ambitious j men and women,' with courage and new1 ideas, flic sort that made tlisT country, are ' shut out. That is BAD news. The American Library as sociation,:, in conference at New Ilaven, ' completed with ease, a one million dollar en dowment fund and will get another million from a founda tion, not named. The money will be used, largely, for "adult education," which is important and neglected. Mil lions of men and women past thirty, and past fifty, long for education, and would maku good use of it. That is GOOD news. Washington believes that Presi dent Hoover plans to help, finan cially, our neighbors In South America. Conditions there are bad. because of the drop in com modity prices. Argentina suffers from the low price of wheat. Chile Is hurt by the drop in metals, and Brazil by demoralitation of the coffee market. Tbe coffee that we once bought from Brazil, for two hundred mil lion dollars, we now buy for forty flvo millions, same amount, same quality. American business, which has greatly Increased In South Amer ica, steadily turning toward us, and away from Europe, will bo glad to know that South America will have help. Some modern teachers, healers, . orientalists, etc., tell you man is f nothUV but his own thought. WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE. It does not work out 100 per cent, unfortunately. You cannot think yourself out of a cold in tbe head, or Into a Job. -. . i But a general mental condition Is Important. - For instance. Oer- IContlnued on Pat Tour) M-TRIBUNE EXPANSION ANNOUNCED $35,000 Duplex Tubular Press Purchased Job Plant To Be Enlarged New Mechanical Equip ment Installed Offices To Be Enlarged. Papers were, signed yesterday which cnll for an extensive ex pansion program of the Mail Tribune, the enlargement and im provement of Its plnnt and equip ment, and the addition of a multi tude of up-to-date and modern features. These preparations have been going on for many months, and when news of some of them leak ed out, the rumor was started that the Mail Tribune was to be sold. The Mali Tribune has not been sold, nor has its personnel been radically changed. R. W. Kuhl, present editor and publisher retains the same posi tion and control, he has held for 20 years; S. Sumpter Smith, who has been associated with him all this time as part owner and busi ness manager, also retains a stock Interest, but hereafter will have exclusive charge of the Mall Tri bune Job department. This change has been- necessita ted because of lack of adequate space, and the desire for more ef ficient mechanical service. The Job department will be moved to the Mail Tribune building on North Crape street directly back of the newspaper plant and will also be improved and enlarged by Install ing a linotype and other machine ry, and equipment. Mr. Smith's, place In the news paper ' department will be taken by. B. L. Knapp. secretary and treasurer of the Southern Oregon Publishing company of Eugene, who .has already moved to this city "where he will make his per manent home.. -, . -.i Associated with Mr. Knapp in the Southern Oregon : Publishing company are Prank Jenkins, president, nnd E. R. Gilstrap. vice president, well known and experienced newspapermen, who will assist Mr. Knapp In the busi ness administration of the prop erty. Herbert Gray who has been nu vertislng manager of the Mail Tribune for many years, will con tinue in that capacity .with ' a' trained corps of assistants, under his direction. The transfer of the Job depart ment, will give space for a $35, 000 Duplex tubular press, with color attachment In the new plant, conceded to be the finest press made for the intermediate news paper field, also a Ludlow ma chine,' with complete equipment, which will give advertisers the advantage of big city service. a monotype slug caster, a new lino type, .which will , give the Mall Tribune a battery of five ma chines and a new type face for the paper, the recently invented Ionic, which is admitted by news paper men everywhere to be the clearest face and the easiest on the eyes, ever constructed. This trnnsfer will also allow more space for the business of fices which will be enlnrged. re modeled and fitted with new and attractive furniture, as will the news and advertising rooms. In short everything possible Is to be done to make the Mall Tri bune mwhniileuUy what Its own ers believe It hns always been as a iicwspoiKT one of the very best on the entire Pacific coast. 1 Work on the new construction will start at once but It will prob ably be sometime In September before all the Improvements have been completed and the new plant Is In full operation. , MM' TO, PORTLAND, Ore..

MAYOR ISSUES STATEMENT ON GITY GAMBLING Asks Anynomous Phone Callers to Furnish Evi dence, and Law. Will Take Course Women Com plain of Husbands Losses Mayor E. M. Wilson yesterday Issued a statement, following anonymous complaints against card games in this city, in which lie promises the support of his own office, the city council, and the police department in the sup pression of any illegal practices in this city. v The statement follows; "Several anonymous telephone calls have recently come to my office from ladies asserting that their - husbands have lost hurd enrned money In card games In the city. The ladles calling have declined to give their names. It is a difficult matter to prosecute an investigation of such conditions without the evidence and hearty support these people are able to give. . "Our laws govern professional gambling. All games of chance are a form of gambling and the age old card games will always con tinue. Those who cannot resist these games, and others who live by their wits at cards, will always find places behind locked doors where they think themselves In perfect seclusion,-To what extent these places exist ' depends upon the ability of our police to detect their existence from any available evidence at hand. To the end that any irregularities be corrected I ayk these ladies, and all other persons having knowledge of benefit to the department, to communicate with Police Chief C. McCredle who, under his oath of office and the desire of the council, will make such investiga tion as Ih possible to be made." E. M. Wir-HON, Mayor. Medford, June 27th, 1981.

Conger In a continued attempt to obtain a description of the man found dend In a box car at Ante lope Thursday, who Is thought to be a resident of this city, but no Information hnd been received from the southern coroner up to a late hour last night. Obstacles evidently arose con cerning the InveHtlgatlon In Sacra mento, Mr. Conger stated, whion are dvluylng the information de Blred In thlr city. The name of the local man, who has been missing for more thnn a week, was not divulged by Mr. Conger at the request of rela tives, who still hope that he Is living, although information od tnined Indicates that the body being held In Sacramento will be Identified as his. Police of the southern city maintain that the man, found dead from a bullet wound with a rifle by his side, In the box car shipped out from Medford, had been dead eight or 10 days when discovered at Antelope. If such were the case he entered the car in Medford prior to June 20, when It was was sealed, and ended his life before the car was shipped south. Railroad workers feel that he would have cried for help, when the car was sealed If he had been alive at that time. Despondency, resulting from lark of funds. Is named os a prob able cause of the unknown man's supposed resort to suicide. Relatives of the local man and Coroner Conger were anxiously awaiting Information from Sacra mento last night which will deter, mine whether the body Is that of the resident missing here. OAKLAND.

I "The sppclul committee of the cnumner now giving micnuun i this subject Is exploring the pos sibilities of supplanting Individual efforts nt stabilization with a wide coperative trade association effort.
