Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKJNS
HPHESE words are written at Mc-
Kenzle Bridge, on the McKenzle
highway, about half way between
Bend and Eugene,
Back up the McKenzle a few miles
la the Belknap hot spring. Off to
one-aide, Just above Horse Creek, la
the Foley hot spring.
Both are popular resorts.
nnHERE waa a tlri when these hot
spring resorta were patronized by
people who came there and acttled
down and spent all the way from two
veeka to the whole summer.
Those days are gone. They are
patronized now by fllttera people
who flit in and spend a day or two
and then flit rx, restless and dis
tance hungry. That la what the au
tomobile does to us.
Resort owners cuss and sig.h for the
good old days, but little good It does
them. They'd better be looking for
ward and figuring ot what they're
going to do when the airplane cornea
along.
T""OLEY SPRINGS la owned, operated
and publicized especially the
latter by Mrs. Ella, Haflenger, who
la a character in her own right and
proud as Lucifer o? that fact.
She can out-cuss a mule aklnner
whenever the spirit ao movea her,
and It does so rather often. And she
la Just as apt to cuss out a pros
pective guest as anybody else.
' As a result, her . reputation haa
epread all over Oregon, and people
come from far and near to see If ahe
la really as shocking an old hellion
as ahe Is pictured. ,
All of which la good for her busi
ness. HERE Is a dark secret: As an old
hellion, Mrs. Haflenger is a first
class fraud. She can cuss, to be sure,
and does so. And she can tell an off
color story In a manner to cause
hardened traveling men to turn pale
green with envy. .
But under this rough exterior beats
a warm and iiympathetlc heart. When
aome good deed that Involves con
siderable effort and sacrifice needs
doing up in tola country, It Is pretty
apt to be Mrs. Haflenger who does It.
BUT. for heavens aake, don't ever
let her know that thla writer has
given her away In thla shameless
manner. Skinning alive and rubbing
aalt over the flayed carcass would be
the mildest penalty she would mete
out if she ever heard of It.
She Is proud of her wicked reputa
tion Bnd wouldn't lose it for worlds.
HARRY HAYES Is the mayor and
city council, the struct commis
sioner and the chief cf police of
McKenzle Bridge. He is a guide and
packer of sorts, and can talk the
left hind leg off of a mule.
The devil of it is that he talka
interestingly enough that one has to
listen, even when sleepy.
HARRY la a former city slicker
for many years a hardware man.
His health failed him, and to get it
back he headed for the .hills. To
make a living while getting his health
back, he went Into the guiding and
packing business.
His business thrived to such an
extent that when hli health returned
he twiddled his fingers at .the city
and claimed Vie great open spaces
for his own,
HOW does such a business thrive?
Well, here la one detail: test
spring. Harry and hl dogs treed and
did a?sy with ten cougars. "The
bounties." he explains, "paid my taxes
for the year and paid for the keep of
my horses."

Veterans Resist Eviction
From Federal Structure
Ex-Serotce Man Killed, Several Wounded
Brickbats Thrown During Rioting
Cavalry Called to Scene
WASHINGTON. July 28. (A I) White House officials late today said
information had come to them from secret service agents that the
veterans ' who led the attack upon policemen here today "were entirely
the communist group." This statement was made by one of the presi
dent's secretaries. It was not amplified in any way.
WASHINGTON. July 28 (API
William. Hashka, veteran from Chi
cago, was shot dead and another
veteran seriously wounded In riot
ing between bonus seekers and po
lice near the capltol today, and
troops were orderod out at the di
rection of President Hoover.
A bullet through the heart was
the one that killed Hashka, when
police opened Ire upon veterans
who were advancing toward them.
A group of his comrades took the
man to a hospital In a patrol wagon,
accompanied by two policemen. He
was dead when he reached there.
Everett Carlson, 40, a bonus
marcher from Ohio. Is In a serious
condition at casualty hospital with
bullet wound in the back and
lower abdomen. Doctors said his
recovery was doubtful.
Several Wounded.
Several other bonus marchers were
treated for lesser Injuries Inflicted
by brickbats. They Included an
Indian, Chief Mountain Heart, 42,
who was cut about the chest, and
John Wyndom, 39, 'of Cleveland, O.,
who was cut about the lip and
cheek.
Secretary Hurley ordered cavalry
from Port Myer to rush into the
city at fast pace, saying he had
been informed by the president that
'the civil government of the Dis
trict of Columbia has reported to
him It Is unable to maintain law
and order."
After hearing a report from Of
ficer George Shlnault, who said he
fired t;he first shot, Pelham D. Glass-
ford, police cnier, saia tne snooting
which killed was "Justified."
Several police were injured, one,
Private Scott, being reported to have
died from a blow by a flying brick
that hit htm in the head In a
clash in the morning. Tills report,
which could not be verified Imme
diately, aroused the police to anger
in the minutes before the rioting
that led to the shooting.
The second squadron of the Third
cavalry from Fort Myer was drawn
up on the Mall at the rear of tne
White House waiting for orders.
WASHINGTON. July 28. (JP) A
group of the bonus seeking war vet
erans today resorted to violence after
being evicted from a building they
had been occupying on lower Penn
sylvania avenue. They chased police
for some distance by throwing Dricica
at the officers.
Apparently without any reason, the
fighting broke out near the assem
bly ground of the veterans, after they
had been removed from their shelter.
A thousand or more of the bonus
seekers had arrived on the scene from
Anacostla and had broken through
thin police lines around the block.
This developed after Pelham D.
Glassford, superintendent of police,
had ordered every officer available
for that purpose to guard against
trouble.
Evacuation Ordered.

Well you talk about a thing
being " oversubscribed, '' . why
the wholo issue was spoken for

estly believe they could have
loaned twieo that much nnd
they perhaps will when they
meet again, for that was the
"loaningest" and appropria

Bo a good joke on 'em if
after loaning all the money
they then go homo and get beat
