enemy of wild life.
SPEAKING of enemies of wild life,
It la Just possible that you may
regard the white pelican, which Is
eommon In Southern Oregon, aa a
destroyer of trout.
Mr. Worcester says NOT. Of course,
he adds, It Is reasonable to auppose
that from time to time the pelican
gets a trout, and it isn't reasonable
to suppose that when he does he
turns It loose and apologizea to It.
The pelican is & fisherman, and takes
what comes.

few of them. The slower fish, such
u the mullet,-the sunflsh. the carp
and the catfish, are his meat.
This has been proved, he says, by
considerable careful investigation.
CLEAR LAKE, thV source of Lost
river, was formerly the principal
breeding ground of the white pell
can in the United Btates, but since
the flooding of the Bear river marsh
In Utah this distinction has been

rates now aa the aecond most Im

Prejudice, Bias Charged
By Foes in Circulation
Of Petitions in Valley
Name of Sponsor of Move Not Revealed
Few Signatures Obtained Is Report
Will Invade Josephine Co.
Petitions seeking signatures for
the recall of Circuit Judge H. D.
Norton, have been in circulation in
Jackson county since last Thursday,
and have been left at a number of
service stations In the rural and su
burban districts. The move has been
threatened for weeks and while ft
surprise to most of the people, has
been known to have been brewing
since shortly after the May primary.
The petitions charge "prejudice and
bias," and allege "miscarriage of
justice." as the basis for the recall.
The full text of the basis for the
recall reads:
Basis Cited.
"For the reason that he is
prejudiced and biased In his de
risions and that justice has been
repmcea witn miscarriages ui
Justice In Ms court by his rul
ings, to the extent that the lib
erty, life and property of citi
zens of said first Judicial district
are endangered."
The first Judicial district com
prises Josephine and Jackson coun
ties and the petition Is directed to
the secretary of state. They are in
printed form. The name of no citi
zen or organization sponsors the re
call. Four Slftners.
One of the petitions has been
placed at the Marvin Abbott service
station on the Pacific Highway, in
the Howard -Berry dale district, and
contains four signatures, as follows:
Charles Pennington, Butte Falls;
Stanley Vaughan and Pheba V.
Vaughan, Mound, and Mary A. Mc
KinnlsSams Valley.
One of the asserted circulators of
the petitions In this city. Is the
mother of a youth sentenced to two
years 1n state prison last April, fol
lowing a series of paroles, from Ju
venile court. Another alleged circu
lator Is reported as a farmer of
the River View district, who lost
litigation with the federal farm board
over a federal loan mortgage, two
women circulated the petition In
the Oak Grove district with little
success.
Reports Indicate that the petitions
are being sparsely signed throughout
the county. One was circulated in
this city last Saturday, and met
with such a cold reception, . that
the circulator became abusive, when
refused, It was said.
Some Areas Eager.
Another report said that the peti
tions were being freely signed In
certain sections of the Rogue River,
Gold Hill and Trail districts.
The petitions are scheduled to
make their appearance In Grants
Paw and Josephine county, this week.
The real backers of the Tecall
movement are lurking in the back
ground. Circulators refuse to state
who engineered the plan, or paid
for the printing of the petitions. The
petitions are said to have been print
ed In a Portland printing concern
that makes a business of such work.
Need 2000 Names.
Under the Oregon law, names of
2000 registered and legal voters re
siding in Jackson and Josephine
counties must be secured before they
can be filed. Six petitions known
to be In circulation, up to Sunday
afternoon contained Jasa than 40
names.
The circulation of the petitions
was supposed to have been kept very
secret until ready for filing and to
hove been circulated in this city
and Ashland last.
Resentment Voiced.
The news of the circulation of the
petition spread throughout the city
and county rapidly today, and met
with a ave of resentment, in all
walks. i the streets of this city
