Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YOTJ cant stay long In Burns,
where these words are written,
without searing some version or oth
er ot the finding and losing of the
famed Blue Bucket mine especially
Jin these days when gold mine talk Is
J In the trail over this Western coun
try. THE commonest version runs some
thing like this:
An emigrant party,, heading for the
Willamette valley, camped one even
ing on a creek, somewnere In East
ern Oregon. During the evening, a
member of the party who had been
scouting around, came into camp car
lying a blue bucket practically filled
with heavy yellow metal w.hlch he
had picked up.
The story goes that the emigrants,
who were looking for land and not
for gold, weren't much excited. One
of them took a piece of the metal
f and hammered It into a pin for his
pz bow.
They were practlcal-mlnded people,
you see. . 1
rjnHAT night, the tradition runs, the
party was attacked by Indians,
but succeeded In beating the red
men off. They departed hastily, for
getting all about the yellow metal.
Later on, the memory of It return
ed, and In the succeeding hilf cen
tury many expeditions were organ
ized to hunt for the Blue Bucket
mine.
It was never found, the location of
that evening camp remaining one ot
the mysteries of the desert.
A MRS. PARKER, for whom Par-
ker mountain, on the Green
Springs highway, Is named, was
member of this emigrant party, and
was one of those who went back and
starched for the site ot the camp,
but unsuccessfully. She couldn't find
even a familiar landmark.
PHIL METSCHAN, of Portland,
whose parents were pioneers of
the Canyon City country, and who Is
1 here In Bums for the celebration,
thinks the Blue Bucket mine was lo
cated somewhere along Canyon Creek.
When Phil, by the way, was only a
few months old, there was an Indian
raid up through, the Canyon City
country. His father hid him and his
mother In a mine tunnel up behind
the city, which was one of the big
mining camps of the early days, while
he went out with the other men to
fight off the Indians.
Those were stirring days In this
country.
B
ILL HAKLEY tells of a family In
the Warner valley that was warn'
Bd of an approaching Indian raid.
They loaded all their valuables Into
a wagon, and at the last moment the
man happened to tnlnk of a valuable.
Kentucky" Jack. He dashed to the
barn, got the animal, tied It to the
back of the wagon and started out In
haste.
Arriving at the fort, someone called
to him: "Hey, you've got a dead Jack'
ass behind your wagon."
Investigating, he found It to be
true. The Jack was dead. "I thought
this load pulled mighty heavy for the
size of it," the owner commented.
CELEBRATION over, and on the
road again headed' for Bend,
over the Central Oregon highway. Off
to the left, Wagontlre mountain, of

On the main highways, In the
thickly settled country, we would

of stopping.
There really 19 something about
these great open spaces that brings
out the desire to be friendly and hu

Delegation to Call On County
Court for Financial Back
ing to Send Gore and
Owen to Washington
A delegation of representative
business men of the city and county
were scheduled, to call upon the
county court this afternoon, and
request the appropriation of $1000
to finance a trip of W. H. Gore,
banker, and James H. Owen, lum
berman, to Washington, D. C. in the
interests of the proposed railroad to
Crescent City.
Th matter was presented to the
county court yesterday afternoon,
but that body deferred final action,
until they were given "guarantees
such a step met with general ap
proval and civic accord."
Meeting Tomorrow
The county court will hold a reg
ular session tomorrow, when It Is
expected aome definite action will
be taken.
Members of the county .court are
understood to view the plan with
favor as Individuals County Judge
C. B. Lamkln said this afternoon.
that personally he had been in favor
of a coast railroad for years, hut
that no action would be taken until
all th court were present.
W. S. Bolger, president of the Med-
ford chamber of commerce, said this
afternoon that the chamber had
taken no action as an organization
upon the matter, though many mem
bers and directors favored the
plan. A board of directors meeting
was held this morning.
The general plan is for the city
to borrow $6,500,000 from the Re
construction Finance corporation and
also to operate under the provision
of the relief bill, providing for fed
eral loans In liquidating public util
ity projects.
Early Action Needed
Early action upon the plan Is held
vital by Its sponsors, so that the
matter can be presented before the
present session of congress adjourns.
Gore is well acquainted In Wash
ington, D. C, through his contacts
secured when at the national cap
ital in the Interests of the O.-C. tax
refund, and is also highly versed on
all matters pertaining to the rail
project, and the country It would
traverse.
The Oregon delegation In congress
Is In close touch with the situation.
PORTLAND, July 14. (AP) Rail
road men. here today aaw little
chance that the Reconstruction Pi
nance corporation could be persuad
ed to extend funds for construction
of railroad facilities between Crescent
City and the Rogue River valley. A
request for aid In obtaining money
for this purpose was placed before
Senator Charles h. McNary In Wash
ington, D. C, yesterday.
Some road already has been built
from Grants Pass In a southwesterly
direction toward Crescent City. W.
H. Gore, who signed the petition to
Senator McNary on behalf of the
Medford chamber of commerce, said
$6,500,000 of Reconstruction Finance
corporation funds would enable com
pletion of the road and would put
nunoreas or men to-work.
Railroad operators here believe
the potential earning power of such
a road at this time would be so
small, and the Investment so rela
tively large as to dictate non-compliance
with the request by the cor
poration. Added to this, they say,
aa a further detaining circumstance
is the generally disheartening con
dition In which the ftrst-class roads
of the country now find themselves.
One railroad official, who did not
want to be quoted directly, said
private or public financing of the
Crescent City-Rogue River line now
was Impossible and that the recon
struction finance corporation un
doubtedly would take a similar at
titude. AT

5ays:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
July 13. Soy, the more you
read of the bill for relief that
the president vetoed, the more
you can see he was right.
It wag going to loan money
to individuals. Now it's right
to have the government feed
and help get jobs but to loan
everybody money that needs it
to pay off somebody else that
they owe, well in the words
of my old friends the two
Black Crows, "you can't do
that."
Besides, borrowing from one
follow to pay another one don't
do any good. Just keep on ow
ing the same fellow. He has
got used to "carrying" ua by
now. In other words, let's
don't change creditors while
crossing a stream.
Yours,
