Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
DaragBayans MoblllM t0 Flgnt
Jr Bolivia." So reads a heading
In the news of tha day.
Probably they are all excited about
It, waving flags and working up en
thusiasm. If they go to war, they
will be less enthusiastic a few years
hence.
Most of the troubles that ara ao
oppressing the rest of the world
right now track back to getting an
excited and going to war back In
1814.
THE MORATORIUM on automobile
licenses has expired, and if you
haven't bought a license yet, you
must either lay up your car or
drive In fear and trembling, hoping
you won't meet a cop.
Here la a question: Is It any
easier IJOW to buy a license than
It was on July 1?
IP YOU will remember, the date for
buying licenses waa changed a
couple of years ago from the first
of January to the first of July.
The theory, at the time, waa that
people would have more money on
the first of July than on the first ol
January, and so would find it easier
on that date to finance the purchase
of a license.
On the first of January, It sound
ed Ilka a good theory.
THIS WRITER, speaking for him
self alone, and not undertaking to
apeak for anybody else, DIDN'T find
It any easier to buy a full year'a
license on July 1 than It had been
on January 1, but DID find It easier
to buy a half year'a license on Janu
ary 1 of that first year In which
the change was made.
THE MORAL, If there la any moral,
would appear to be this:
It doesn't make much difference
when you have to buy your license
whether It la January 1 or July 1,
or on August 1. a full month after
the specified date when licenses are
due.
Money Is money, and under ordi
nary, average conditions, for ordi
nary, average people, it doesn't seem
io be very much more plentiful on
the first of one month than on
the first of another.
BUT It IS easier to pay out a little
money at a time than to pay
cut a lot of money at a time.
Therefore, If the objective Is to
make It easier for people to buy
their automobile licenses, which In
Oregon are rather high in price, and
HAVE to be high In price because
we have built a lot of fine roads and
must pay for them the most satis
factory way to do It, taking every
thing Into consideration, la to adopt
the partial payments plan, permitting
people to pay a little down and
the rest later.
, There are objections to that plan,
of course. It la hard to find a plan
to which there are NO objections.
But thla writer la of the opinion
that If the next legislature wants
to make It easier to buy automobile
license In Oregon, It will have to
adopt the Instalment plan, In some
form or other.
SPEAKINO of laws, you may or you
may not know that there la a
Jaw on the statute books of Oregon
making It a nlsdemeanor to point
your thumb down the road when a
car is approaching or otherwise so
licit a ride.
But that It the case. The law was
passed by the legislature at Ita last
session.
BUT every hitch-hiker on the road
points his thumb as every car
approachea, and nothing Is done
about It.
Would TOU turn In a hitch-hiker
for signaling to you that he want
a ride, knowing that If you turned
him In he would be taken to Jail.
Of course you wouldn't that is.
you wouldn't if you are the right
kind of person. You may not want
to pick up every Tom. Dick and
Harry you pass on the highway, run
ning your chances of being tapped
behind the ear with a piece of gas
pipe or a monkey wrench and robbed
f your ready possessions, but you
don't want to see aome poor devil
hauled off to Jail Just because he
afked you for a ride.

It was revealed Saturday n a tele

Carl Washburne of Eugene, that the
program outlined by the southern
Oregon committee last Wednesday
In Eugene had been substantially
accepted by the state highway com

hundred thousand dollars state and
federal money would be expended In
southern Oregon during the coming
winter, with reconstruction to start
within 60 days.
The southern Oregon committee,
who interviewed Mr. Washburne in
Eugene last Wednesday Included C.
E. Oates of Medford, C. H. Demaray
of Grants Pass, and Mayor J. E.
Thornton of Ashland. This com

JARTLETl CROP
Picking and packing of the Bart
lett pear crop of the Rogue River
valley will be under way In most of
the orchards by the middle of the
coming week. The Modoc orchard
started picking Friday, due to earlier
ripening than the average tract. Many
of the orchards of the valley have
Just completed their propping.
The first shipments of Bartletta
from the valley is scheduled from
the Von Hoevenberg orchards, via
Gold Hill, today or Monday for ex
port. Other pickings are due to go
Into cold storage for a few days be
fore being consigned to eastern mar
kets. Thus they will avoid conflict
with the California crop.
The packing plants of the city and
valley expect to start operations on
a part time scale Tuesday and Wed
nesday and be under full awing by a
week from Monday, when Bartlett
picking will be general.
Tfte warm weather of the past few
days has caused some of the pears
to advance rapidly.
Orchard Uta and packers alike have
agreed to give preference to home
workers, and as a result there has
been less of an Influx of transient
labor than in former years. The reg
istration for orchard and fruit work
continues unabated at the county
court.
Any market forecast at this time
is held problematical by both or
chardlsts and packers, but the pros
pects are viewed as favorable. Peach
crop shortage, increasing employ
ment, optimism In the east and bet
terment of general conditions are im
portant factors.

College Merger Activity Eyed
by School-Tax Saving As
sociation Hoax Theft
May Bring Jury Quiz
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 8. (AI)
Amedee M. Smith, chairman of the
school-tax saving association, today
directed a letter to C. J. Whiteside,
president of the Corvallla chamber
of commerce, seeking cooperation in
determining the motives back of the
Zorn-MaoP herson bill for consolida
tion of Oregon's Institutions of high
er education.
In the meantime, word reached here
from Albany that Hector MacPherson,
co-sponsor of the bill, plans to re
viow the testimony submitted here
during the preliminary hearing of
Cyril G. Brownell before deciding If
he will demand a grand Jury hearing.
Brownell was released In district
court here yesterday on a charge of
larceny In connection with the recent
disappearance of signed petitions fa
voring the bill. MacPherson said he
had an appointment here Monday
with District Attorney Langley.
Chief Criminal Deputy District At
torney George Mowry had pointed out
that the district court ruling in
Brownell's case merely released
from ball. He said the case can still
be laid before the grand Jury.
Smith's letter follows In part:
"The astounding revelations of a
secretly organized, secretly operated
and secretly financed organization to
promote the Zorn-MacPherson edu
cational bill, made in court at the
Brownell hearing, points so strongly
to a group of big business and prc
fesslonal men of Cor vail Is that we
are actuated to write to you as presi
dent of the chamber of commerce of
Corvallla to ascertain whether the
tactics used thus far by them and
the extravagant claims made for the
bill has the sanction of the Corvallls
chamber or represents the city as a
whole."'
WALKER TO GIVE
'REAL TRUTH' IN
PROBE OF ACTS
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. AP) In a
bitter attack on his accusers, Mayor
Walker tonight 'said he would ap
pear at a public hearing- called by
Governor Roosevelt for Thursday and
would bring out "the real truth"
about "these foul and outrageous ac
cusations" on which his removal is
sought.
He charged the testimony produced
against him at hearings of the Hof
stadter legislative committee had
been "purposely manipulated."
He said the governor's .hearing
would be his first opportunity to
confront "those witnesses upon whose
one-sided and hearsay testimony my
political life is sought."
He declared he would examine the
witnesses himself In order to bring
out "the entire truth."
Earlier the governor had disclosed
he had set a date for a public hear
ing in his executive chamber in or
der that Walker might make a final
answer to the charges of misconduct
and that his critics might tell aaln
why they thought he should be re
moved.

Hartman Warns Competing
Fruit Growers On Alert
Point of Saturation Far
Distant." Is Assertion
Pear growers of the Rogue River
valley and the Pacific northwest "will
be forced to advertise their product,
In self-defense." Dr. Henry Hartman
of the Oregon-Washington pear bu
reau warned a half hundred growers
at a met? ting held in the basement
of the Hotel Medford Saturday after
noon. "The pear comes Into competition
with fruits that are highly advertised
and our competitors will call no 'dis
armament on advertising.' If they
did we might refrain from advertis
ing, but under present conditions of
trade and marketing, we must do so
in self defense."
"We have a product that lends It
self readily to intensive advertising,
and Is highly marketable," continued
Dr. Hartman. "It la not an acid fruit,
a fact that makes a strong appeal to
people who like fruit but who are
not able to eat it because of acidity.
And to thousands of people, the win
ter pear la practically unknown. Our
task Is to bring It to them In an
edible condition."
No Surplus Seen
Dr. Hartman said there was no
cause for alarm in the future of the
winter pear, because "despite the
known Increase In production, there
would never be a pear surplus such
as exists In the grape and peach In
dustry. "There Is every possibility of ex
panding the pear markets of the na

PLAN OF FRIENDS
A plea for executive clemency and
pardon will be filed early this week
with Governor Julius L. Meier, on be
half of L. Alvln To lief son of Central
Point, former cashier of the Central
Point State bank, under two year
sentence to state prison for perpetra
tion of a "bank robbery hoax." The
pardon request will be made through
Harry Skyrman, attorney and per
sonal friend of Tollefson, and asso
ciate of Attorney A. E. Reames who
appears as "a friend In court of the
young man."
Petitions signed by a majority of
the resident of the Central Point
district and bankers and business
men of this city will also be present
ed to the governor.
The district attorney's office will
present the confession of Tollefson
and the court records of the case to
the governor, but will make no per
sonal appearance before the exec
utive. It Is planned to present the mat
ter to the govornor Monday or Tues
day. It Is also understood that briefs
In an appeal o the supreme court
are near completion. The time allot
ted for legal action In the case ex
pires thla week.
The pardon plea will stress the
fact that no money was lost by rea
son of the hoax, and that Tollefson
himself and his family are the chief
sufferers. Also that up to the time
of the ruse he had led an exemplary
life.
On May 0, last, Tollefson reported
to the sheriff that shortly after noon
he had been held up and robbed by
a lone bandit as he attended to his
duties in the Central Point bank.
The following day Tollefson made a
signed confession that the robbery
was a hoax, to cover up defalcations.
All the money was recovered, most of
it being hidden in his home.
A month later on a plea of guilty
Tollefson was sentenced to state pris
on for a two-year term by Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton.

Sudden Gale Near Sundown
Wreaks Havoc Many
Fires Flare in Valley
Power Wires Prostrated
A sudden gusty wind, dust and
smoke laden, awept over the Rogue
river valley last evening about aun
down causing considerable damage
to orchards, the full extent which
cannot be accurately estimated until
a day light aurvey la made today.
The wind was general throughout
the valley, and varied In velocity from
ten to 34 miles per hour.
The highest velocity was recorded
between seven and seven thirty o'
clock, when It attained a peak of 34
miles per hour.
The wind according to report last
night was heaviest In the Talent,
Phoenix, and Pern Valley district,
and In the foothill districts, south
snd east of the city.
Estimates Vary
First estimates on the wind loss to
pears varied last night from eight to
40 per cent. Sheltered Qrcharda Buf
fered the least. A conservative esti
mate waa a box to a tree. Most of the
trees were propped, which prevented
a heavier foss. The fact that moat of
the trees were heavily laden also pre
vented the trees from being whipped
by the gusts.
The wind csme as a climax to a
sultry afternoon, and seemed to form
In the Oriftln Creek region hills,
spread out fan-shape over the valley,
and wasted Itself in the north and
east. The general direction waa south
east. In many ot the orchards, limbs
were broken off. Most of the surveys
made last evening, were by auto light,
on the outer rows where the wind
would naturally have the cleanest
sweep. The center rows sustained the
least loss being protected. The ground
wsa littered with debris.
Power Wires Hit
Coupled with the wind, was the
demoralization of power service on
every circuit In the valley for half an
hour. The fine to the HUlcrest dis
trict was still out of commission at
ten o'clock. The power transmission
line over the Slsklyous waa severed by
falling trees In the mountains. Thir
ty men were engaged In making re
pairs last night.
When the wind was at Its height, a
fire alarm was sounded. A pile of
rubbish between the Alta Vista Pack
ing house, and the Monarch Seed
Company warehouse on South Fir
street caught fire from unknown
causes. It wsa quickly extinguished.
In racing to this call, the fire truck
swerved at Main and Front streets,
missing capsizing by a hair.
Many Grass Fires
Immedlstely grssa fires broke out
on the Bear Creek bottoms, near the
fair grounds and on West Second
street. Another grass fire In the Ow
ens Flats, east of Talent, which had
been burning during the day waa
whipped to fresh fury. Woodsheds be
longing to Robert McKanahan, and
E. B. Price caught fire from the West
Second street grass fire, before it
was curbed.
The annual grass fires on the flanks
of Roxy Ann, and the foothills to
the south rsged last night, and ac
cording to Carl Y. Tengwald, of the
Weaterlund orchards, wen, set. The
fires broke out In three places aeven
miles apart, Saturday afternoon about
two o'clock. The fire was endangering
the power transmission line of the
California Oregon Power company to
Prospect, and a force of men was
guarding It. The flames swept close
to 1000 acres.
The etate forest department had
been watching the Owens lat grass
fire, and Antelope brush, and along
Bear creek. Men were recruited from
the atreet of the city, aa fire fight
ers. Heavy Dust Files
The heaviest dust storm since 1916
awept the aouth end of the valley,
the tall-end swishing through the
city. The southern sky waa thick with
dust.
In the Talent and Fern Valley dis
tricts, trees were blown over. A wal-
