At t meeting of the Southern Ore gon end Northern California Mining Association, Inc., Friday night, dele gates to attend the meeting of the Western Oregon Mining congreaj t Salem, January 14, were named rollers: Oeo. Barton, H. B. Fleming, Dr. J. F. Raddjr. Uojd Williamson, -0. 0. Clark, A. B. Kellogg. John Opp, L R. Shurtleff and George Maxwell. At least three members will also bo selected from the Grants Pass dis trict. The mlnlne congress will, In all probability, advocate appointment by the governor of a non-salaried com mission to represent every mining area of the state. They will also work out a plan to secure funds, through the medium i the reconstruction finance corpora- tlon, to assist In the mining develop ment of this section. A definite program for the dele Kates ofr this association to follow, was outlined and will be perfected during the coming week, deslgnod to be of considerable assistance to tne eongrees. With even a small amount of gov- ernment funds made available for this Immediate Motion, a payroll of (4000 to 5900 per day would be made Im mediately possible, employment for a thousand- men provided and a gene ral condition of prosperity obtained. This- could be done, by erection of a custom mill to treat the ores of the small tonnage producer at a nom inal coat, thereby allowing the small pooducor to realise a profit on his - low grade ores. This Is a natural resource now lying Idle at our doora that can be made to produce a condition ooraer- lg on affluence. It should be en couraged, fostered and put to work California has already received from - the reconstruction finance corpora tion over 9000,000,000 to be used fa construction projecte. which means the "hiring of labor and purchase of materials. This meney was not brought to their doors and made available for them without some ef fort being made to obtain Ik At least, they had to ask for It. Money can be made available for this state In like proportion If we but put forth a like effort and ask for It. Bp, the effort now being put forth by a srjistt handful of men here In Medford and their co-operation with others In the state, comprising the Western Mining congress, may and can mean much more to its cltlnns and the community In general than Is at present generally aupposed and a little co-operation with tlals effort will rflean Its ultimate success, Bliton Tells Ancestry Of Early Mail Tribune And Sustained Growth s Jnttge lwlllng of Albany, aastgned to tho Jackaon county bench, on an affidavit" of prtfjud.ee filed against circuit vuig H.

Moth Balls Halt Inroads Of Deer On Salinas Farms SAUNAS, Calif., Jan. 8 (AP) Fighting belligerent deer herds with mothballs might sound crazy, but It Is successful. For years the herds have de stroyed thousands of dollars in young peas and artichokes on the remote farms In the Big Sur coun try. Nothing could stop them. Now the problem Is solved. The growers place four-foot poles about their fields. To the top of the poles are tied tiny bags of natha lene. from which mothballs are made. The deer get one whiff of the napthalene, then fie as though peppered with bird shot. Forty years ago, January 6, A. 8 Bliton came to Medford. Forty years ago January 7, he purchased the Southern Oregon Mall, ancestor of the Medford Mall Tribune. And he would have bought It 40 years ago January 0, he declared Saturday, re viewing events of the old days In southern Oregon journalism, "but It was Sunday. "For those were the days In south ern Oregon," he explained, leaning over his desk at the California Ore gon Power company, to give the re porter the smile which won hun dreds of subscribers to the old Med ford Mall, back In 1603. "We lived as a unit then. There was harmony. Those were the lines we followed. All together for sny thlng that was for the good of Med ford. There wasnt any east side. There wasn't any west side. And peo ple didn't go around hatlrg each other. We didn't hnve the gee-haw-leg that goes on today. The news psper pointed the way to progress. We didn't tesr things down, we con structed, and evorybody was happy. "Why, when we entertained the National Editorial association In 1809," Mr. Bliton added with new enthusiasm In his voice, "We had the band out to meet them. Carriages. The finest horses In the valley." He paused to draw a yellowed piece of silk from his pocket. "Here's the progrsm for the dsy." Opening with "band at train," the treasured pleee of silk announces toasts and addresses by men. whose names are not to be forgotten by southern Oregon historians, although all but Judge W. M. Colvlg are dead. With htm In the day's entertainment, appeared as speakers: Judge W. S. Crowell, A. 8. Hammond and Rev. a N. Annes. At the bottom of the program the following greeting appears: "A hun dred thousand welcomes: A curse begin at every root of his heart, that Is not glad to see thee " Shakespeare. "Medford families brough out their finest slTVer, linens and cubslsss and set the tsble In the park for 1B0 guests. I told them, "you'd bring out the best you had, If you invited these folks Into your homes. - Well, they're guests of Medford today,1 and they brought out tho best they had." Mr. Bliton leaned back In his chair, his eyes beaming with satisfaction over t) rims of his glssses. "We took them to Jacksonville on the old Medford-Jscksonvllle railroad We took them for drives In carriages about the valley and the luncheon which the Medford folks prepared wasn't forgotten when the editors returned east. Marked copies of their papers csme from all cities and In each there was a spread In recom mendation of the city of Medford. "If you're going west, go to Med ford." was the sentiment each editor expressed In his home town, Mr. Bli ton explained. "And the people came here, didn't they?" he sdded. "There were about 1200 at that time." . When Mr. Bliton came to Medford with hla family, he came from North Dakota, "where you had to work hard and tend to business to keep going He got In on Sunday and on Monday was publishing the Southern Oregon Mall, the name of which he changed to "Medford Mall" with the first Issue. The county wss filled with Populists then and the newspaper had been a Populist orgsn. He Im mediately adopted Independent poli cies to give everyone a voice In things. The newspaper was published In an old frame building, where the Cra terlan theater now stands. It wss moved later to the location now oc cupied by the Buster Brown shoe store on South Central, and later to the Halley building, where Mr. Bliton rented the shop, 90 by SO feet for S10 a month for a period of 10 years. He had been paying 915 a montn. Prlntera received $0 a week and all type was set by hand. Other things were proportionately low, Mr. Bliton explained. A good house could be rented for $0 a month. The news paper was a weekly then, seven col umns, four pages. It started with a circulation of 500 and dropped to 260 when It lost lit Pouuilst sup,- port, but climbed to 1800 before the close of 18 months. There was Just one bank, the Jack son county, In Medford then and the Southern Pactflo depot stood In the middle of what Is now Main street. The newspaper grew and the town grew. In 1008 Mr. Bliton turned his publication Into a dally and In 1000 It was purchased by George Putnam and became The Medford Mall Tribune. Meteorological Report January , 1038, Forecasts.

Hla congressional sup porters in Washington began talking that way about the same time. Underneath all this budget talk Is the agreement on both sides that the price of jovemment bonds must be maintained. At least the market must be maintained among the banks. That gives them a last say In the matter. Any amount of Juggling with the budget Is all right, If confidence In government finances is maintained So you may have the anomaly of peo ple saying one thing in this business and doing another. That la not so Irregular a doctrine In federal fl nances as you may think. It has been dona here for years. For instance. Treasury Secretary Mills just happened to be two bil lions off In his budget balancing pro gram for last year. Yet government bonds are selling above par today, That la the proof of the tressury pudding not what the promoters say about It.

An untold story about Mr. Hoovor's Journey down south is the one about the two boya who rowed out to hie fleot, not to see him, but to find out from newspapermen how Mr. Roosevelt wss getting along.
