FOR aeveral daya, thla column haa
dealt with eventa In the great
Interior country of Southeastern
Oregon, acrosa the mountalna from
the green and flowering Rogue River
valley.
You may say to yourself: "That
la a long way off. Why talk about
It here?"
ALONO way off, possibly, by cer
tain atandarda. If you start out
to walk, for example, It will take
you many, many weary days.
But If you will go out to Medford'a
great airport and charter a plane,
you can be set down In Lakeview
or Burna In an .hour and a half
to two hours, depending upon the
speed of the plane you charter.
In a moderately awlf t automobile.
If you are a fair driver, you' can
make it to Lakeview in aomewhat
lesa than five hours.
So, you see, even on the basla of
distance and time alone, the great
interior country Isn't so far away.
M
HISTORICALLY, the great South
eastern Oregon plateau la ex
ceedingly close to the Rogue River
valley.
It waa by the Old South Road,
you will remember, that a very large
number of the early settlers reached
thla beautiful country of the Rogue.
The Old 8outh Road, departing
from the Oregon Trail somewhere
near the present site of Boise, cross
ed this Southeastern Oregon country,
then wound back and forth across
the present boundary between Ore
gon and California, passed the Link
xlver between the two lakes at what
la now Klamath Falls, and eventually
reached this valley.
It waa for this valley of the Rogue
that moat of those who traveled it
were headed.
TPHE Old South Road, you must
also recall, was pioneered by
the Applegate brothers, Llndsey and
Jesse, and It was their thought that
if the emigrants .heading for the
Oregon country could be made fam
iliar with the truth about thia coun
try down here, they would take the
southern route Instead of. the north
ern one, and so reach in time this
lovely Southern Oregon country,
where they couldn't .help but be
nappy.
We STILL feel, as did the Apple
gate brothers, that we are doing peo
ple a favor when we bring them
into thla country of ours.
HPHERE are other tlea of assoc'.a-
tlon, very close tlea Indeed, be
tween the Rogue River valley and
the great interior country.
There waa a time when the pres
ent counties of Jackson, Klamath
and Lake were all ONE vast county,
wltfi Its seat at Jacksonville. What
a county that wasl
What changes have been wrought
alnce that timet
HERE la another thought :
Thla Old South Road, laid out
by the Applegate brothers, waa ad
mittedly a ahorter and better and
more pleasant route to the Oregon
country than Vie northern route by
the Columbia.
But It was a DANGEROUS route.
It lay through a country of war
like tribes, and those who chose it
took their lives In their hands.
Too often, the lives thus risked
were lost.
INHERE la the story, for example.
of Fandango pass, In Modoc
county In Northeaatern California,
which la alleged to have taken Its
name from this circumstance:
A body of emigrants, heading over
this Old South Road, came over a
low rise and Into sight of Goose
lake, then a considerable body of
water. In the rosy light of late eve
ning, they mistook Goose lake for
the Pacific ocean, and thought they
.had reached their Journey'a end.
So they staged a great celebration,
and by the light of blaatng camp
fires they danced the fandango and
made merry. In tlie dark houra of
the ensuing morning. Just before the
dawn, they were set upon by one
of the warring banda of Indiana that
roved that great country and slain

Shoup Sights

That the fundamental economic

than they were six months ago and
that they will improve even more
rapidly when congress balances the
budget In a business like way and
adjourns, was the word brought to
Medford yesterday by President Paul
Shoup of the Southern Pacific rail
road, w,ho came here to consult with
local fruit growers about the prob
lem of financing tfils year's pear
crop.
Mr. Shoup, wrio had a conference
with President Hoover In Washing
ton a few weeks sgo, believes the
administration's reconstruction fi
nance corporation, has materially
benefitted the general business sit
uation and prevented a devastating
liquidation, which would have shak
en the entire economic structure to
Its foundations.
"We should not dwell upon how
bad present conditions are." said
Shoup. "but should try to appreci
ate how much worse they might be,
if the administration had not taken
the dratle action It did. The reason
the recovery haa not been as rapid
as many of us expected, lies in the
fact of the tsx uncertainty caused
by the confusion In congress. The
balancing of the budget must be
done, but it Hhould be done hi a

Added Strength for Bi-parti
san Battle Against Cash
Outlay Fails to Shake
Sponsors of Legislation
WASHINGTON. April 16. ( AP)
Bi-partisan forces battling the two
billion dollar soldiers' bonus outlay
gained new strength today but failed
to lessen confidence of ultimate vic
tory among sponsors of a new money
payment.
From Owen D. Young, financier and
prominent Democrat, came word that
to print money to pay the bonus was !
not "the sound helpful way," toward
a desirable Increase In money volume.:
This message was made public by
Representative Patman ( D., Texas) ,
leading sponsor of the bonus pay
ment. Just as Acting Chairman Crisp
disclosed that Representative Le
guardta of New York, dynamic prog
ressive leader., would be a leading
opposition witness before the ways
and means committee.
Young's telegram, which was re
ceived by Patman as "very favorable
to our cause" reiterated his sym
pathy "toward prepayment of adjust
ed service certificates to meet the
needs of veterans."
Advocates of the bonus payment
admitted administration and Demo
cratic leaders "played a trump card"
In gaining the support of La Guard la
in the bonus fight. The New Yorker
is & veteran with air service experi
ence and only recently demonstra
ted his power in the house by lead
ing the successful effort to defeat a
general sales tax in the revenue bill.
Patman announced, however, that
cashing the bonus now was mfire cer
tain than ever.

to testify.
FURTHER DELAY
WASHINGTON. April 16. (AP)
Further delay In presenting a 6200,
000,000 retrenchment program before
the house loomed today while the
economy committee struggled to
reach an agreement on an onibua
bill embodying President Hoover's
and Its own recommendations.
Indications were that the chief
executive's proposals for a five-day
work week and annual leave with
out pay for federal employes were
preferred over the McDuffle plan for
a salary cut, after Director Roop
of the budget explained the ad
ministration bill to the committee.
Unable to make sufficient progress
to assure completion of the entire
program by Monday, the committee
sought to agree on a plan to post
pone reporting It Tuesday as a rider
to the legislative supply bill that
carries salaries for members of con
gress. The appropriations committee ten
tatively planned to place the naval
supply bill before the house as a
substitute for the legislative measure.
At the White House a memoran
dum wss Issued In which It was
said the omnibus bill sent last night
to the economy committee should
"ultimately reduce expenditures by
upwards of 933S.0O0.0O0 and pos
sibly 9250.000.000."
On the , president's employment
plan, the memorandum said, "It
establishes the principle of the five
day week In the government; main
tains the present scale of salaries
and would save around 913.000.000
more than the straight pay-cut
proposals."
Definite
Improvement
tire matter cleared up Just as soon
as possible.
"Until this Is done, business Inter
ests will not know where they are
at, what their tax burden will be.
As a result doubt and uncertainty
will continue to determine the nat
ional psychology, which Is funda
mentally the cause of our trouble,
and has been the fundamental cause
from the start.
"Another thing should be done.
The expenses of our government
should be cut down. President Hoo
ver and a majority of congress favor
this. But thus fsr too many ot the
people, Instead of demanding re
trenchment have been requesting
various favors of a financial nature.
This should stop. The people should
serve notice on Washington that they
only want such expenditures as are
absolutely imperative to the essen
tial administration of national af
fairs. Not a cent of government
money that doesn't have to be spent
should be spent at the present time
"If the people do this, govern

be cut to the bone.
"With this plan adopted, with the
budget balanced, and a business like
emergency tax system put In effect.
I am confident the country will rap-

Smith's Challenge to Roose
velt Candidacy Holds
Large Possibilities for
Warlike Developments
By 11. IIAHOI.U OI.IVKR

WASHINGTON. April 16. (AP)
The presidential delegate choosing
neara the half-way mark with the
Democrats in discord over Alfred E
Smith's challenge to the candidacy
of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
Republicans hoping the disharmony
will continue.
The Intimation, if not the threat,
contained In the Smith Jefferson
day address of such a battle over
the Democratic presidential nomi
nation and platform as would vividly
recall the Madison Square Garden
conflict of 1924, easily stood as the
feature political development of
the past week.
Proht Plank Interests.
Sharing Interest was the proposal
of former Governor Harry F. Byrd
of Virginia of a compromise prohi
bition referendum plank and the
favorable wet and dry reaction to
It. Also outstanding was the threat
of former Senator Joseph I. France
of Maryland, candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination, to
challenge at Chicago a block of dele
gates claimed for President Hoover
and Hoover's filing today in the
Maryland primary, assuring a clean-
cut contest between the two May 3.
Mingled with all these and other
happenings waa Roosevelt's continued
coral ling of delegates. Michigan and
Nebraska together gave him 64 to
boost his total In pledged and claim
ed strength to 365. This Is two
less than one-third of the 770 neces
sary to nominate.
Smith Denies Implication.
Smith now says he "referred to
nobody" when he told the Jefferson
day banqueters that "this Is no time
for demagogues," but party leaders
outside the Smith and Roosevelt
camps nevertheless are considerably
disturbed over the Smith "ready to

HOMiYWOOD, ChI., April
15. Tim Democrats met Wivl
nrsdiiy night, to consciously
drink a tonst to Tliomns Jeffer
son nnd unconsciously elected
Jlerbert Hoover.
It's been the same every year,
only this full it's going to be ,
lisi'drr for the Democrats to
elect a Republican than it's '
generally been.
The reRsnn it's tough is there
are hundreds of people this year
that arc going to vote the Dem

Dcmocratio party.
