IN tbU column. If you follow It In
even the sketchiest fort of way,
you have read of the beaver and of
the possibilities of water conserva-
' tlon here In Southern Oregon It we
can restore the beaver to the .head
waters of our streams.
Tou may be Interested to know
that William L. Pin ley, former state
game warden of Oregon, now of
Washington, D. o., one of the coun
try's best-known naturalists, is In
.entire agreement as to the Import
ance of restoring the beaver In this
country.
M
ft. Flnley Is now in Oregon. Re
said to this writer the other
day:
"The life business of the beaver
la to build dams and store water.
It was a great pity when the season
on beaver was opened a few years
ago.
"The destruction of these useful
animals that followed did enormous
damage to those areas of the state
where conservation of water la nec
essary for agricultural development.
HEN Malheur lake and 1 Lower
Klamath, lake were set apart
by President Roosevelt as federal bird
refuges, Mr. Flnley says, they were
the greatest game bird breeding
grounds In the United States.
Since then. Lower Klamath lake
has been drained and reclaimed, and
Malheur lake, through diversion of
the streams that feed it, has gone
practically dry.
This, he thinks, Is a great pity.
Many people agree with him.
VjfjTHEN Lower Klamath lake wes
" being drained and the streams ;
that feed Malheur lake were being
diverted, it seemed to us 'thai the
great need was more land to make
homes for more people. We know
now that we have more land than
this generation can hope to use profitably.
Meanwhile, travel has become one
of Oregon's great resources, and we
are trying In every way possible to
bring more and more people here to
see wthat there Is to be seen In Ore
gon; knowing that when they git
here they will spend money which
will benefit us In a business wsy.
In attracting people with money
to spend, wild life Is fully as import
ant as scenery. If we had back Mal
heur and Lower Klamath lakes, as
they were In the old days, they
would probably be worth much more
to us than the land that .has been
reclaimed by draining them.

WASHINGTON, Mar 27. (AP)
In a lashing attack upon the
relief bill proposed yesterday by
Speaker Garner, President Hoover
today termed the measure the
most "gigantic pork barrel ever
proposed to congress."
WASHINGTON, May 27. (AP)
On behalf of the administration.
Secretary Mills last night pronounced
absolute opposition to any bin pub
lic works program and any new bond
issues.
He made his statement In specific
reply to an employment plan re
cently proposed by Alfred E. Smith,
but by coincidence or otherwise
Mills' words came out Just as Speak

YSR In Southeastern Oregon Is
the last remnant of the vast
bands of antelope that once roamed
the West. In recent years, under
state protection, these antelope have
been Increasing. Occasionally this
question' is raised: "What shall we
do with them?" ,
This Is Mr. Flnley's anwer: "Go on
protecting them. Their presence,
ultimately, will attract many times
more tourist money than the value
of the forage they consume.'
Remembering Malheur and Lower
Klamath lakes, we must agree that
he Is probably right.
IF you live within the city carrier
limits of Medford, this newspaper
waa brought to your door by a boy
who is in business for himself.
He buys his papers and pays for
them. Then he resells them to his
customers. He takes his , chances,
Just ss any other business man
does.
If his customers pay htm regularly,
he prospers. If they do not, he loses.
IHE mother of one of these boj-
said the other day to this
newspaper:
"I value beyond anything I ean
name the experience which my boy
Is gaining as a newspaper carrier.
It Is wonderful business training for
him. it is teaching him to be punct
ual, for he .has to be thert promptly
to get his papers when they come
from the press. It Is teaching htm
the value of money, for he has to
buy and sell on his own account
"And above all it Is teaching him
how to deal with alt kinds of peo
ple. When he gTows up and gets
Into business on a larger scale, thatj
training will be worth everything in
the world to him."

REED BALKS VOTE
ON FARM RELIEF
WASHINGTON, May 37. (AP)
Senator Reed (R., Penn.) blocked an
attempt In the senate to obtain an
agreement to vote on farm relief leg
(station before the adjournment of
contTress.
Senator Nye (R N. D.) asked for
an agreement that the senate would
not adjourn until It had voted on the
MV-Nary omnibus relief bill and the
Prazler refinance measure.
Reed objected, saying "I don't
think any senator has a right to ask
for such an agreement for a single
measure, when the senate calendar Is
clogged with legislation."
According to post election atreet
talk, the "Medford gang" battle cry
haa been dropped, because It has
played out. Certain malcontents who
profited by this slogan, however,
want to keep political agitation go
ing so according to reliable reports
they have picked out the California
Oregon Power company to be the
goat.
If these reports are correct, then
a continual barrage against Conco
can be expected in these next few
weeks, and when public suspicions
have been adequately aroused, cer
tain of the successful primary can
didates, are to Jump Into the arena
as the people's saviours, against the
Power Trust.
W.hlle public opinion In general la
behind the movement to Insist upon
the purchase clause in the haw
California Oregon franchise, and the
strictest safeguarding of tho public
interests, mere is no apparent sun-
port for this attempt to make Copco
a football of local politics.
The Copco organisation ,1s very
popular locally, not only because of
Its personnel, but because It haa al
ways shown a disposition to play fair
with the people and wc.-k in every
way for the development and pros
perity of southern Oregon.
It Is generally believed that If Cop
co will agree to the purchase clause
In the franchise, and thus show their
liberal and Just attitude, there will
he little public support for antl
Copco agitation.

2G. Congress aud the senata
ara wonrlpriiiu if they will be
through in time for their va
rious conventions.
Now the question arise in
our time tho name as in Sliake-
Hpenre'a (or some other old-
timer) "to be in acssion or not
to be in noshinn. That is tha
fluent ion; whether it is better
to suffer with or without con
gress and the seriate."
Most folks say "let them suf
fer likn they have made ns suf
fer," but to keep a politician
from his convention is just like
Inking iee cream away from a
kid. H's liable to make 'cm so
mad there is no telling what
they will pass.
