Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
"pHE subject of this column today
will be antelope, which are
fleet-footed animals somewhat re
aembllng deer, but preferring the
open plains to the deep woods. So If
you don't care for antelope as a sub
ject for your reading, this la a good
place to stop. 1
IT Isn't very widely known,
but
Oregon hs the only remaining
herd of wild antelope In the United
States. Thla herd, ot course, la
ahared to aome extent with Nevada
and California, for lta range la in
the general neighborhood of the point
where thcae three atatea come to
gether. But the bulk of the antelope are in
Oregon, and the refuge that la mak
ing possible a ateady increase in lta
numbers la In Oregon. So Oregon la
entitled to claim the credit that goea
with possession of the only remain
ing herd of wild antelope In the
country.
TTHB home of thla herd of wild
antelope la the Hart Mountain
game refuge, located in Lake county,
and It la a wild and remote and mar
veloualy beautiful bit of the open
spaces which includea within lta bor
dera aome 350,000 acres chiefly un
appropriated public domain.
In thla vast area, rimmed by tall
mountains, speckled In wet cycles by
shining lakea and clothed richly with
a coat of aage that would make Zane
Grey the happiest of men If he could
aee It, range aome 10,000 antelope.
That la a herd worth boasting
about.
IT Is quite a distinction to possess
'the only herd of wild-'antelope
remaining in the United States. Lake
county, In which this herd la located,
la properly proud of this distinction.
So on Sunday and Monday of this
week the chamber of commerce and
the Twenty-Thirty club of Lakevlew
arranged a party primarily for the
Oregon etate game commission and
secondarily for such other citizens aa
chose to come to prove to them that
antelope really do exist in large num
bers In this atate.
Seeing, you know, la believing.
NOW here la a etrsnge thing about
thla party: It waa a success.
According to all the laws that gov
ern auch things, these antelope,
which by the natlvea of the region
are seen at the proper season In herds
running Into the thousands, might
have been expected to seclude them
selvea on the day chosen for the
party and refur.. to come forth and
be viewed.
But they DIDN'T. Instead, in spite
ef the fact that It la the season when
the fawns are being hidden out In
the aage brush and the herds there
fore scattered far and wide Instead
ef being bunched up, they permitted
themseh-es to be viewed In satisfying
number. ' ,
One herd of 33 waa counted, and
at almost any moment and at almost
any point In the desert It was possi
ble to go out and with glasaea pick
anywhere from two or three to half a
dozen ot the shy, graceful animals.
fNNE party of visitors was sitting
In the shade the rather grate
ful shade. Incidentally cast by auto
mobiles parked out cn the dry bed of
Desert lake and smoking the pipe of
peace. A number of antelope had al
ready to be viewed, and the trip waa
being voted a success.
Suddenly, one of the party ejacu
lated: "Look there I" Looking In the
direction of hla pointing finger, a
full-grown antelope waa seen, aome
900 yards from the cars.
The antelope waa obviously aa
much Interested In the visitors aa the
visitors were In the antelope.
PpHK pretty animal stood at atten-
tlon and looked the party over.
Then, apparently with the Idea of
being aa obliging aa possible, it turn
ed around ao that it could be viewed
from the other side. After that, It
stood head on for a tew mlnutea.
Oiassea were unllmbered and
brought Into a-rtlon. Cameras were
trained and clicked. Exclamatlona of
admiration .re made with the pro
per empnaela.
Finally, after putting on a fine
ahow, the antelope loped gracefully
away and disappeared behind a rim
rock.

CHICAGO STADIUM, June 29.
(AP) The Democrats, watting on the
serious business of platform making
and nominating, devoted a recess In
terlude today to laughter and ap
plause of -the offerings of a bevy of
entertainers.
Will Rogers, Invited to the speakers
stand by the uproarious demands of
the Oklahoma delegates, accepted the
nomination and said he'd try to carry
on until "we can get enough of the
platform committee members sober
enoug-h to turn In a platform."
Eddie Dowtlng, the stage star, In
troduced Rogers.
Will struck a pose and declaimed:
"I always said that any convention
was a Joke and now I know It.
"All I have to do la stand here and
act the fool until the Democratic
party can agree on prohibition and
that means I will be here from now
on.
"As soon as we can get enough of
the platform committee members so
ber enough to turn In a platform,
we will get under way.
"As I look over these smiling faces,
I don't know what to do. It seems
like old times to be up .here with
Tom Walsh lite ?jtng back In
w.hat year waa U.at? I924r "
"The applause you ga-e yesterday
to John W. Davis not only showed a
fine spirit but it showed that you've
got long memories.
"I had breakfast this morning with
Jlmmle Cobb. Does anybody remem
ber that far back?
"I was here during the late Re
publican uprising and I'm here for
the duration of this mess.
"I'm going to be the first speaker
on this platform to have a good word
for the opposition. The Republicans
did the best they could with what
little they had.
"I like all the candidates. I'm
not going to pick any one of them.
I hate to think that some of them
have to lose.
"I like Governor Roosevelt-!-.'
He was Interrupted by a roar from
the Roosevelt delegates, but he asked
them to "never mind the parade."
Everybody got a chance to cheer as
he named the candidates one by one.
"Al Smith my Lord we all like
him," he said. "Anyone who has
been around likes Al. And Garner
he's a peach. You all know Ritchie
a big man from a little state to
know Ritchie is to like him.
He forgot to mention Bill Murray
and the Oklahoma delegatea carried
the state flag up to the platform to
remind him.
"Don't forget this thing," he went
on. "When you go home don't act
like Democrats; act like the candi
date Is the man you came here to see
nominated. Don't go home sore. Don't
say you nominated the weakest man.
I don't aee how he could be any
weaker than hla opposition If he
lives to next November he's In, that's
all."
When Rogers quit, Dowllng called
for Oene Tunney, who had been slt
tlng In the press box, to come up
and take a bow," but Tunney could
not be found.
Then Dowltng presented the Frank
lin County Democratic glee club of
Columbus. While they were assem
bling the master of ceremonies pre.
aented Clarence Darrow of Chicago,
me notea lawyer.
MacDonald of dreat Britain yester
day, asking what concessions Oer
many might mske In order to facill.
tat a definite aettlement of the
reparatlona problem.
"World confidence cannot be re
established," the Chancellor aald, "If
the powers which emerged victors
from the World war do not decide
to eliminate the dlscrlmlnstion cre
ated by the treaty of Versailles.
"If. by revision of the treaty, tier
man equality and security is re
established, then will the chancellor
esteem It poaaibla for Oermany, In
a common effort to reconstruct world
economy, to pay her share In the
form of a contribution which would
have the natural result of re-estab-llshlng
Oerman economic and busi
ness equilibrium, aa well aa that
of the world.'
The conference approached what
was expected last night to be Its

Governor Orders Two Weeks
Leeway for Embarrassed
Car Owners Probe of
Installment Buying Urged
PORTLAND. Ore., June 2. (AP)
Hal Hoss, secretary of state, said to
day he had no objection to a mora
torium on automobile licenses until
July 16, or to any other date desired
by Governor Meier, and that he does
not oppose installment buying of
licenses.
His statement was made to news
papermen, who questioned him
about his stand on the moratorium
proposed by Governor Meier In a
letter addressed to Hoss last night.
Hosa said, however, that he wanted
the whole transaction to be legal and
for that reason he had asked the attorney-general
for an opinion on the
matter. He said he desired to avoid
law suits in connection with any
such plan.
SALEM, June 29. (AP) A two
weeks' moratorium on automobile li
censes and Investigation of the In
stallment payment plan was ordered
by Governor Julius L. Meier In a
letter released late last night. The
letter addressed to Secretary of State
Hal E. Hoss further requests some
plan of quarterly payments ao that
the more urgent cases may be taiten
care of.
The governor's move followed
closely a letter sent earlier by Sec
retary Hoss to Attorney-General Van
Winkle asking if "there was any
legal manner in which I might help
relieve the altuation." Hoss spe
cifically asked If a license morato
rium was legal and If a monthly or
quarterly baBis could be adopted. He
asked for prompt answer to nis in
quiry,'. -a.v-..- ;- -' .v-fc'-
Hoss Blamed.
Governor Meier, who released his
letter in Portland charged that Hoss
waa refusing to co-operate, as evi
denced by his preliminary conversa
tion when the. governor's plan was
proposed and by his Immediate re
quest of a legal opinion.
Mr. Hoss knows that the ques
tion of constitutional limitations la
not a proper one to raise at this
time," Governor Meier aald. "It
may be that technically we would
be overstepping provisions of law.
I consider it unwise and unfair to
embarrass the attorney general by
putting him 'on the spot as It were
to decide this matter. It la an
emergency, not anticipated by the
law. but It must be met, and I am
in favor of meeting it."
Many Inable Pay.
The governor's letter follows in
part:
Information has come to me irora
every corner of the state, indicat
ing that several thousand persons
will be forced to discontinue me
use of ttfMr'cars on July 1.

Mish Tipton Chief Mlsh last of the
once famous Umpqua tribe of In

hunting grounds by the Oreat Spirit.
There win be no squaws to blscken
their facea and wall away the long

papooses huddled In 'darkest corners
uncomprehending and mute, for all
those of Mlsh'a tribe have gone on
before and only he was left to. carry
on the traditions of his once mighty
band of warriors. He waa brought to
Roseburg from hla mountain home
for hospital care a week ago and died
today.
Nobody knowa Mlaha' age but It la

nearly a century alnce he flrat aaw

Essentially the concensus waa "we
might aa well go the whole way."
Included In the Oregon delegation
are at least three men who are per

will vote for outright repeal, they
said, rather than go Into the No
vember election with what was de
scribed, as "a counterpart of the Re
publican 'straddle plank.'"

miles. Joined delegations, some come
as spectators, and paid fancy prices
to see what? To see 1100 delegatea
sit there and art like a lot of Re
publicans. Why there wasn't an argument In
a carload. Cheered everything, hissed
nothing. Why it made me almost
ashamed I was a democrat, Hera
we ha.e written about It, advertised
It as a combat, a glguntlc struggle
of candidal" and conflicting plat
forms, and then everybody goes out
k Inning each other i
Hhadei of Thomas Jefferson, shad
ows of Andy Jackson and outtlnea
of William Jennings Bryant Are you
going to degenerate Into a party of
(agreement and mutual admiration?
Is It the Influence of the female
delegates that lias ruined the repu
tation of the old "hell raising, rip

nate?
Shame on you. Now don't let's .
have another session like that one
Wake up today and atone for jester- '
day. Show 'em you are not a lot of
"back slapping" Republicans and .
agreeing with each other. Uet In
there and fight. If a speaker says
some thing, no matter If It's right or
wrong, disagree wtth him. Chuck
him out. That's what alnaya made
our conventions stand out.
More (people listening to you over
the radio than the Republican did.
Be Democrats: fight, fight, and don't
put on another synthetic thing like
that yesterday. Yours,
