MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, QREGOM, MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1933.

MINES TO BEAM
Br I R- Shnrtlcff.
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,

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.

That la why you saw dispatches
from Hyde Park early In the week
saying Mr. Roosevelt wants the budget
balanced. 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,

WE. HAVE been telling the pub
lio for a good many years that
Chesterfields taste better. They satisfy!
That wouldn't mean a thing if smok
ers found out that it wasn t so. No
body can fool the people very long.
But a great many smokers have
smoked Chesterfields for a long time,
and they know that they taste right.
And so they say to their friends, "If
you want a cigarette that really tastes
better, try Chesterfields 1"
Chesterfields taste better because
they are made of mild tobaccos that
have been aged for two years. And
there is just enough Turkish in them
. . . but not too much.
We are sure that you, too, will en
joy their Mildness and Better Taste.
