No. 154. The Weather Forecast : Tonight and Wednesday fair; cooler tonight. Temperature. Highest yesterday 81 Lowest this morning - ftl MEDFORD Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TNR. Kay Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the Interior, who haa been .pending a few days In Oregon, la a regular fellow the aort you feel In stinctively you would like to go hunt ing or flssmg with. There la nothing of the big ahot about him. He sits cown with a group of ord'ri&iy strangers, and In t few minutes he Is one of the crowd. Nobody remembers for more than a minute or so that he la a member of the cabinet of the President of the United States. He Is Just anoher good scout. BDT then he la a western man. There Is no getting around It. Western men are more Inclined to be that way. There are plenty of East erners who are good scouts, but tho 'percentage of the total Is nowhere nesr as high. BY the way. If a good looking stranger came along and pro posed that you go Into business with him, on terms that looked extremely attrsctlve, how would you go about getting acquainted with him QUICK LY, so hat you would know whether you would want to be associated with him In a close personal way? This writer, in such a case, would take him out Into the mountains on a hunting or fishing trip. After you've been out in the hills with a man for a couple of weeks, you KNOW him. Here's betting that Secretary Wil bur could take that test and come out with flying colors. CAME up through here first on ft my way to Bend," he says, "for a camping trip Into the Eight Lakes basin. "We got into Bend and started looking for a guide and finally found one. We were told, however, that If we took along thla particular guide we'd have to take the telephone girl along too, and for a moment or so the whole scheme looked pretty scaly to mel' " ' . "But It' turned out that the tele phone girl In question was a grand mother, and In addition she was the wife of the guide. So It turned out all right." ( INCIDENTALLY," he says, "It waa a mighty good thing we took the telephone girl along, for she waa the boss of that family. Her husband, the guide, wasn't worth a whoop on hla own account, but with his wife driving him he waa all right." (iftiE of my biggest Interests," Secretary Wilbur says. "Is find ing an area that can be flooded to provide a resting place and breeding place for migratory game birds. "That seems to be an absolute ne . cesslty for their protection and In crease." IT la needless to add that he was promptly told of Lower Klamath lake. He displayed great Interest at once. It can be safely taken for granted that the project to reflood Lower Klamath lake, restoring It as the great bird refuge It once wss. will find a friend In Secretary Wilbur. THE Indians, Secretary Wilbur says, have been unfortunate. They have been caught between their fool sentimental friends, on the one hand, and the white men who want to ex ploit them on the other. It Is probable, he thinks, that the fool sentimental friends of the In dians have done even more harm than the white men whose Idea has been exploitation. The exploiting white men have at least understood the Indian, which la more than can he said of the sen timentalists. -4-e- "to think of the Indians aa a van ishing race. They aren't. On the con trary, they are Increasing In number.. Among the Karajos, for example, the Increase In population Is presenting a real problem, for they are overflowing their reservation." Q PEAKING of Lower Klamath lake, he says: '"Beclamatton goea by flta and starts. A while back reels matlon waa all the thing, and under the spur of till belief a vast and wonderful wild life area In northern Minnesota wis drained, and RUTN1!t). "The land haa been valueless for asnculture. and the draining of the lakes haa ruined It as a wild life region." We make plenty of mistakes In this country, don't we?
