SITE AT JUAREZ
FOR GOVERNOR
JUAREZ, Mex. (UP) The Ameri
cans are doing more of their drinking
and gambling now Just where the
state of Chihuahua wants them to
indulge.
The campaign to tell Americans
where to drink and Rumble has end
ed In victory for Governor Andres
Ortla, of Chihuahua, although for a
time a R-oneral strike in Juares was
threatened as a protest.
Cambium is said to have increased
four-fold at tho Casino ThurlBta In-
ternnclonnl. Business 1n tho uptown
saloons also la said to have picked
up.
The reason the governor was so
solicitous about business In the up
town section of Juarez is that the
state gains most of Its tax revenue.
And right now, politicians say, it Is
imperative that the state s Income oe
lnoreased because- the state's coffers
are low.
So to fill the treasury again tno
governor took drastic steps to Increase
business uptown here. When ne was
at first unsuccessful in having the
8anta Pei street bridge closed to ped
estrians coming from El Paso, he do
creod that 13 saloona near the bridge
must close at 9 o'clock nightly. His
object in closing the bridge to ped
estrians was to forco them to go
across the Stanton street bridge and
thus go through town instead ot pat
ronizing the saloons near the other
bridge.
Then the labor unions threatened
a general strike In Juarez- unless the
saloons were allowed to remain open
until midnight as formerly. A com
promise waB arranged whereby Ameri
can pedestrians are not permitted to
cross the Santa P street brldgs from
El Paso wlUlo the saloons were grant
ed permission to stay open until mid-
ulgut.

Ed Walker reports after a visit yes
terday to that vicinity, where he
conferred with Warden Malcolm, sta
tioned In Grants Pass.
Malcolm arrested two California
tourists, he announced, for fishing
without license in his torrltory after
they had landed three steolhead on
a fly. The two men wero Inexpe
rienced anglers and their luck con
sidered quite, phenomenal by Grants
Pass people, who urged that they
be freed of the charge by purchas
ing licenses.
Malcolm states that their plea
cannot be granted because of the
effect the results might exert.. Other
fishermen might see fit to await ar
rest before buying licenses and the
treasury would feel depletion. .
Warden Malcolm recently returned
from Rainy falls, where he says
a few small fish are to be found,
while the - majority lurk in cold
creeks anticipating more favorable
conditions for coming up the river.

Wm. P. Isaacs, one of southern
Oregon's best known fishermen, had
a thrilling time In the Rogue Wed
nesday evening, h reports, when a
stoelhead grabbed the tackle he
was using In small trout fishing. ,
His first realization that the game
fish had struck was In the form of
a great Jar. He was using a three
and a quartor ounce polo, which
tho steolhead all but removed from
his grasp. He battled with .the
spirited fish for more than half an
hour and finally granted hlra all
honors as the eteelhcad .broke from
the lino near the bank and traveled
back to the depths of his water
homo.
Isaacs reports that he has had
sovcral steclhead on his line at his
fishing haunt. Big Rock lodge, this
season, but they have all been too
wild for bun. The fun IS Just as
great, he maintains, as the realiza
tion of landing them.
Anglers disagree on this question,
some maintaining that It is more
sportsmanlike to fish with small
tacklo. granting the steclhead every
chance tor escape, and others . that
It Is better to use heavy tackle and
play the fish out on the start.

No Senm ot llumot
As for ms, feeble and low In mind
and generally worn out trying to
make the public understand what la.
good for It, I sincerely hope ' the
U. s. G. A. develops a sense of humor
and returns the standard to tho old
1.62 as soon 'as it can be done with
out undue hardship on the already
long suffering manufacturers.
When one of the leading humor-
oua magazines of the country can
put on a campaign of months, al
legedly on behalf of the long suffer
ing average goiters, and not a line
of sensible Investigation Is offered
the public, it seems to me that the
best thing to do is to give back the
1.62 ball. ,
However, I wouldn't go so far as
to offer a logical extension of that
policy that ot permitting the golf
ing public to vote on changing the
else ot the hole to six Inches, or to
ballot on any of the other ways to
reduce the game to runt golf with
out the macabre hazards ot that cur
ious pastime.
It would be a lot of fun to observe
old John Public with his old ball
restored and without an alibi.
The new ball, thanks to the hard
pressed and frenctto columnists, and
professional funny men, has grown
in seven months to bs the most mag
nificent, satisfactory and altogether
fool proof alibi in the history of any
sport. . .
ttVinirn Piny Right
At the same time our lady play
ers are scoring better with the new
ball than ever before, and the ladles
are the ones who play golf today as
the old game originally was Intended
to be played, with a lot of clubs
not so much a long drive and a itlck
and a putt.
But the proprietor of this column
was never of the stuff of which cru
saders are constructed.. I considered
the new ball somewhat more difficult
for the expert to score with and a
lot easier for the average player and
the duffer. I still consider It so. But
I'm far from an ambition to fight,
bleed and die for It.
I'd rather alt back and observe the
duffer, with his ball restored and his
alibi removed. After all, I don't play
the darned game any more, anyway 1
llrllhh Hope
It la not exactly a remote noes!
blllty that the English in a rather
oblique fashion may partially even
up golf matters this year by scoring
a victory in the u. 8. amateur.
The chance will come through the
efforts of T. Philip Perkins. British
amateur champion In 1994, who has
since moved to America.
Perkins In the American open this
year finished ahead of all the Brtt
Ish pros who came over for the Ryder
cup matches, and he ended In a tie
for seventh phtre, N was ahead ot
such competent Amerlaan profession
als as Mao Smith, Johnny Parrel), Al
