TIB old town of Bhaata, located
about eight mllea out from Red

was found In the gulcftea near there,
not long alter the original discovery
o California gold at Sutter'a mill.
By 1853. it waa a 'roaring camp of
some 10.000 people, about half of
them Chinamen.

with the hot. hectic life, of the
gold campa; then, aa the gold In the
atream beda waa exhausted, cooling
off and calming down: then dying.
Memorleal t,hat la all that la left
to them. But what memorleal If
you want to feel the thrill of ro
mance atand In the deserted Main
atreet of one of these old towna and
let your Imagination run free.
OLD Shasta. atVe peak half white
and half Chinese.
The whltea wouldn't permit the
Chinese to possess guns, but the In
herited hatreds that burned In Wit
ness bosoms couldn't be throttled.
On day the Hong Kongs and the
Cantonese fell upon ecah, other,
armed only with butcher knives, pick
handles and a peculiarly vicious
breed of three-pronged fish spear,
and when the dust of battle cleared
away a dozen were dead and aome 80
badly wounded.
A apeclmen of those old fish speara,
w.hlch appear to have been locally
manufactured, la still preserved In
the museum that Is maintained In
one of the old buildings.
TIMBER waa scarce in the hills
around Bedding. . So when old
Shasta waa founded they looked
around until they found a bed of
clay, and from thia clay they mould
ed and burned bricks and with the
bricks they erected substantial bulld-
lnga. These buildings were Jolsted
with whlpsawed timbers and on these
timbers were laid tin roofs.
The roofs Save rotted away, but
tha stout old brick walla remain.
Inside these walls, trees have sprout
ed and grown to good size.
Up ON the hil'l,' back of the eld
town, atands a dwelling house.
It waa erected away back In 1851, by
Dr. Shurtllffe, who wanted a com
fortable house, a pleasant home, a
"homey" house." So he scorned the
bricks of which the Main atreet
buildings were constructed and built
Jala house of wood regardless of ex-
pense.
' Do you lift your eyebrows when the
word "expense" Is used in connection
with a pioneer wooden house? Well,
the rough timbers and boards of
which the house was built were whlp
sawed from trees brought back from
tha hills, and the cost was A DOL
LAR A BOARD FOOT.
The finishing lumber waa brought
from Maine, around the Horn, in
sailing vessels. What It coat Is not
recorded, but It must have been
plenty.
"po OLD SHASTA? back In the early
fifties, came George Washington
Ball, a direct descendant of the fam
ily of Mary Ball Washington, mother
of George Washington.
He built the Charter Oak hotel,
and when it waa finished they held
, a grand opening ball. Tickets to the
ball cost (30 each, and sold like hot
cakes. The ball gave to the women
of the camp a golden opportunity
to display their finery, and they took
full advantage of It.
They came early, attired In a part
of their best, and at 10 o'clock they
rent home and changed and came
back in new outftta.
( THINK of Ji e candidates' balla

OF ST. GERMAIN
Victim Mistaken For Bear In
Second Hunting Tragedy
In Week Makes ' Full
Statement District Atty.
The second hunting tragedy In one
week'a time in the forest regions out
from Butte Palls occurred yesterday
morning when Joe St. Germsin. 30.
of Central Point, waa killed by his
hunting partner, Relnhard A. Rolf.
34, also of Central Point, who ad
mitted to the district attorney last
night In a lengthy statement that
he mistook St. Germain for a bear
and shot him with his .32 Winchester
special when he waa crossing a log,
30 feet from hlra. One week ago
yesterday Glen Fabrlck, well known
Medford business man. was killed in
the neighboring region out from
Lodge F-le. when mistaken for
deer by Ellsworth Konkle with whom
he waa hunting.
Rolf, who Is held on a charge or
Involuntary manslaughter, left the
county Jail this morning In the cus
tody of officers to visit the scene
of the shooting with Sheriff Ralph
Jennings, District Attorney Codding
and Sgt. James O'Brien of the state
police. They are not expected to
return from the Investigation until
late today as the country Is very
rough, located about lx mllea be
yond the old Hawk mill and a ahort
distance from the Dahack cabin. 20
mllea north of Butte Falls.
TJie bullet fired from Rolf's gun.
he stated last rUght, entered St. Ger
maln'a body through hla back, com
ing out under the left arm. Deputy
Coroner Walker was of the opinion
today, however, that tlie bullet had
entered tinder the arm and contin
ued through hla back. St. Germain
lived 30 minutes after he was shot,
according to Rolf's report to the
district attorney.
No account of the accident was
received In Medford until Rolf and
other members of the hunting' party
arrived In the city with the body after
7:30 o'clock last night. The shot
which killed St. Germain, was fired
between 7:00 and 8:00 yesterday
morning. Rolf told the officers.
Close Together
'Reviewing the tragedy, he stated
that he had left camp with St. Ger
main, who expressed a desire to stay
near him because of hla Inexperience
In the forests. They traveled for
some distance, then St. Germain fell
behind. Rolf arrived at two logs and
wailed for him to meet him. He
whistled and St. Germain answereo.
He waited a few minutes but the
man did not appear. He started to
Hlmh the rldee and had gone 30
feet, when he heard a noise. He
turned back and saw what he took
to be the outline of a bear on the
loir looklne toward the direction
from which he had expected St.
Germain to come. The figure did
not move so he sighted his rifle and
nulled the trigger. At the report
he saw the flirure slide from the log,
then St. Germain's head came Into
view. He looked at Rolf he said, and
moaned "Oh."
"In two or three Jumps I was
down there." Rolf explained In his
written statement to the district at
tornev." He waa still standing up.
I laid him on the ground and asked
him If he were badly hurt.
He ans-
wered 'No'."
Examining him. Rolf found the
bullet hole traveling from the man's
back to his side.
St. Germain was dressed in blue
overalls, a brown 'cost, white cap and
white shirt. Rolf removed his cloth
ing and endeavored to put him at
ease, realizing that his condition was
critical. St. Germain lived 30 min
utes. Then' Rolf started to camp
with the body In search of Fred Mor
gan, O. W. Starkey. John Atchlev,
Bill Colburn and Frank Netherlands,
other members of the hunting party.
He arrived at the spring and left

Nominee In Illinois Speech
Announces Three-Points
Needed Promises Amor-
tization Federal Loans
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 21. (AP)
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt In a
campaign address before a near ca
pacity crowd at the Big springneia
arsenal today advanced a three-point
orozram for agricultural relief.
"The three great atepa which we
must take," he Bald, "are, first, the
federal government owea it to agricul
ture to see that it gets a fair price
for Its producta. That means that
the price of farm products must be
raised above the present ruinously
low levels to which they have fallen.
"A properly adjusted tariff can do
much in this direction, but tne pres
ent tariff policies of the republican
administration have done precisely
the opposite. Pending the relief that
will be afforded by properly adjuated
tariff policy, measures must be taken
to give the farmer Immediate tariff
benefit. Thia means in substance
practicable plan agreed to by agricul
tural leaders which will provide lor
the former a higher return for certain
of hla crops. I set forth tnese princi
ples which such a plan must embody,
in my Topeka speech, and these prin
ciples have been widely accepted as a
basic plan of action In formulating
the necessary legislative relief.
"Second, there must be lifted from
the backs of every farmer the heavy
load of taxation which today weigha
upon blm. This load la made up of
three parts, 'the local, state and 'na
tional units. At Pittsburgh I out
lined the position of the democratlo
party, and my position on the ques
tion of the honest balancing of the
federal budget and the imperative
need of immediate economy in na
tional expendlturca. I also reiterate
now my promise to exert all available
Influence in the position as the -president
of the United States toward
the reduction of all state and local
taxes.
"Third, we come to the vastly Im
portant principle concerning the bur
den which farm mortgages now bear
on every agricultural community."
Recalling what he said on farm re
lief at Topeka at the start of his
coast to coast campaign swing, the
governor said he wanted to add "that
the government ahould make a def
inite condition when advancing fed
eral credit, that wherever possible
Interest rates 'must be lowered for re
newed or extended mortgages.
"Whenever the government of the
United States," he continued, "exer
cises any control over the situation It
is the duty of that government to de
mand every practicable and possible
assistance to the farmer seeking
credit to finance his crops, an1 his
farm, to obtain for him the very low
eat reasonable rate of Interest."
"The solution of this (farm) prob
lem," he said, "Is our first concern
In national rehabilitation. . . My
program Is opposed to and alma to
8top the ruthlesa foreclosure of farm
mortgages.
Accusing the administration of be
ing "derelict" In employing J,he
i 125.000.000 new capital of the fed
eral land banks to assist the strug
gling farmer debtor, Roosevelt an

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (AP)
An effort "to cast doubt as to the
credit of. the national government
. for campaign purposes," today
was attributed to Governor Roosevelt
by Secretary Mills. .
In' a formal statement last night
replying to the Democratic candi
date's Pittsburgh speech the treas

"Governor Roosevelt told an amaz
ing story in Pittsburgh last night.
"If he does know the facta, the
American people must draw their

inary Inaccuracies and distortions

"Die governor complains of the

GOOD TIES
GN ISSUE
Bonus, Budget and Beer
Overshadowed East To
Be The Battleground
In Closing Fortnight.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. (AP)
rho overshadowing stature of the
countrya economic plight how It
came about and how good tlmea can
bo fully restored looms larger and
larger over the political scene as the
campaign attalna the full fury of
Its concluding weeks.
This Is one instance in which an
Issue accepted as paramount by both
sides In the very beginning, actually
became paramount In the more ma
ture utterances of later weeks, and
promises to so continue until the
end.
To the economic Issue, with Ita
many ramifications, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Roosevelt now are devoting al
most exclusive attention. Only a
very small percentage of any of their
speeches takea notice of anything
else.
When tliey or their principal fol-
lowera have mentioned the tariff.
they have catalogued It In Ita rela
tlon to depression or recovery. When
they have talked of farm relief, or
labor, or the budget, or currency,
or the soldier bonus, or even prohi
bition, they have put all of these
things against the background of the
one central question of economic
restoration,
nils theme' haa been the burden
of Mr. Roosevelt's apeechea on nis
present mid-western and southern
swing. He apoke of beer aa a rev
enue source. He repeated hi prev
ious atatement on the bonua dur
ing discussion of budget balanc
ing. The administration's course with
rospoct to the depression will be the
burden of Mr. Hoover's speech to
morrow night at Detroit, for which
he leaves the capital tonight. It will
be the burden of hla shorter talks
tomorrow aa he crosses West Virginia
and Ohio.
A host of other speakers, Including
many of the most distinguished men
In the country, now are debating the
same subject from coast to coast.
The Issue has taken different form
In different localities, but In Ita er.
sentlal character It Is the same ev
erywhere. During the short time lenwiraoi
jriaoHnn rtav Is two weeks from
next Tuesday almost every precinct
will hear this Issue dlscusaea wnn
an Intensity seldom exceeded In
American history. Alfred E. omim,
Newton D. Baker and Albert O.
Ritchie are among those who have
come forward for Roosevelt. Henry
Ford hss spoken for Hoover; taiTiu
Coolldire haa been asked to apeak
