UNG FIRMS
FLOCK HERE ON
I
The county court again today con
ferred with representatives of auditing
concerns, chiefly from Portland, seek
ing employment, for the auditing of
che county books, as recommended
by the grand Jury, and approved by
the county court. No decision has yet
been reached, and it Is held probable
that the work will be let on the com
petitive bid system, with the right to
reject or accept.
Cost of the work ranges from 913
to 630 per day, according to the esti
mates, with the county court as a
whole against the expenditure of any
exorbitant sum. They want the audit,
but feel it should be secondary to
the needs of relief and employment.
William A. Bausch and Son ot
Portland, appeared before the county,
court this morning, and Bausch, ft
grey-haired man. Informed the court
of his qualifications, "without any
desire, to boast which It sounds
like.' Rausch claimed exceptional
ability In auditing, and made a num
ber of seml-sensatlonal statements.
Asked by Commissioner Nealon rela
tive to his experience and references
In Portland, he replied:
-Well, I would have to refer you
to many now dead. Including George
Joseph, who we Intended to elect gov
ernor of this state." The elder Bausch
further declared "I have no doubt
several died of heart failure, as a re
sult of my reports." He further de
clared he was making no Imputa
tions. Rausch further declared that friends
had told him "you better be careful
In your audits, or somebody will knock
you In the head." Rausch then de
clared that "I can not be bribed or
frightened, and fear no man or the
devil, but I can be coaxed."
The younger Rausch said, in re
sponse to a question by Commissioner
Billings that they decided to make
application to do the audit when
they read in the Portland Journal
that "some sort of a row was going
on In Med ford, and that an audit
would be held."
1 The elder. Rausch said that be had
had many years experience, and that
he had "conducted hundreds of
audits."
The county court was also sched
uled today to confer with representa
tives of other auditing firms. The ap
plicants, so far, number close to a
dozen.
TRIAL OF WILSON
GETS UNDER WAY
Trial of Leslie (Buck) Wilson of
Ashland, Indicted by the grand Jury
for alleged receiving of stolen goods
from the J. O. Penney store In Ash
land last July, was started In circuit
court this morning, with the selec
tion of a Jury and opening state
ments by the state and the defense.
Luther (Toots) Crosby was the first
witness called by the state, and he
told of meetings to discuss the store
burglary, at which Wilson was pres
ent. The witness said that the loot
was brought to a house occupied by
Ematee (Bobby) Mansfield, the morn
ing after the robbery, in suitcases and
later stored in a house next door.
Tne Mansfield woman and Crosby
both entered pleas of guilty.
Attorney Frank DeSouza, appearing
for Wilson, in his opening statement,
told the Jury that the testimony
would show that Wilson had nothing
to do with the robbery, and knew
nothing about it, until after It hap
pened. The defense Indicated It
would show that Wilson, on parole
from state prison, with Crosby, was
the "victim of circumstances."
The state declared it would show
that Wilson had guilty knowledge of
the burglary, and that when arrested
he was wearing articles of clothing
stolen from the store.
The case Is expected to go to the
Jury late tomorrow morning. A num
ber of Ashland residents attended to
day's session of the court.

Gores Attend Krelsler
Concert In Portland
Mr. snd Mrs. E. E. Gore and daugh
ters, Rosa and Dorothy, were among
Medford's very fortunate folks who
motored to Portland for the concert
of Fritz Krelsler. They returned from
the north Tuesday, still inspired with
the beauty of his music, which they
described as far beyond the descrip
tive power of words. The great mas
ter of the violin played something
for everyone, Mrs. Gore remarked this
morning, speaking of the concert, and
brought into the most simple num
bers the same spirit of poetry which
characterized his interpretation of
the works of the greatest composers
Appreciation of the artist was shown
by the crowd, which packed the audi
torium, not discouraged by meager
purses when in search of something
really beautiful and of lasting in
spiration. On their way to Portland the Gores
stopped In Eugene, where they were
Joined by their daughter Beulah, stu
dent at the University of Oregon, and
attended the Sunday concert of the
university orchestra. Among players
In the orchestra are Miss Beulah
Gore, at the viola; Douglas Orne,
formerly of this city, first violin, and
Ellen Galey of Ashland, second violin.
Mrs. Gore, with her daughter, also
attended the Mu Phi Epsllon tea given
at the home of John Stark Evans,
while on the campus. The wonderful
opportunities in music offered stu
dents at the university demanded
much of her attention and she was
enthusiastic this morning in her
praise of the department, which Is
each year giving students more and
more In the way of history and foun
dation of music, as well as appreci
ation of the art and ability to in
terpret the works of the great mas
ters. Something far greater than
"lessons," she stated today, is brought
to the school of music students.

it was as good as "dead" when it

The bill would make more than 25
changes in the national and federal

curb bank failures, assist depositors
of closed banks and stop the flow
of federal reserve credit to specula

It would allow branch banking In

Eight or nine bills were Introduced
In the house this morning, one or
two or them passing second reading
all In an hour and a half. The
committee on Judiciary alone round
ed out eight legal reform bills last
night and had them ready for intro
duction today.
Lawmakers have at last struck their
stride, and committee meetings are
producing results. Some ambitious
committeemen get down to work at
8 or 9 in the morning. Others stay
up until late at night. Everyone ap
pears determined not to drag the
term out any longer than the allotted
40 days.
It is interesting to note that very
few of the bills are really authored
by the names that appear on them.
In fact, some of the sponsors of bills
haven't even taken the trouble to
read the bill Introduced.
New men at the legislature are
often made the goats for poorly
drawn bills this way, the "young
sters' believing their popularity de
pends upon the frequency with which
the reading clerk reads their names.
SALEM, Jan. 25. (Spl.) A day in
supreme court with Arthur Benson,
veteran clerk, as guide, is-something
to write home about. Mr. Benson,
who has acted in his present capacity
since 1902, used to live In Grants
Pass. His boyhood pal waa Clarence
Reames of Jacksonville, whom he
visited frequently. One notable day
he accompanied Clarence to school,
where he met Teacher Gus Newbury.
According to Mr. Benson, "Gus" waa
considered one of the most efficient
and popular teachers in the county.
When Arthur Benson began his
duties as clerk In 1902, there were
only three Judges on the supreme
bench. This number was later In
creased to five and still later to
seven.
The need for such an Increase is
best comprehended when looking
through the supreme court files
where Judgment rolls dating back to
the '50s are stored. These documents
have grown in volume with the years.
Looking through the old Jackson
county files, a group of six judgment
rolls, bound in cowhide, bore the
date 1863.' The documents are all (n
handwriting, and are considered of
historic significance.
Aside from the black silk robes
worn, the supreme court Judges look
human when sitting on the bench.
They yawn, stroke their chins, chew
gum, and occasionally look Inter
ested. In most cases, according to Mr.
Benson, only four of them preside.
In the center Is the chief Justice.
On the right and left ends are the
two youngest In the service and to
ward the center the next two young
est. While these four are hearing
cases, the other three are "back
stage," writing opinions. In the case
of rehearlngs, all seven Judges pre
side. While the supreme bench ground out
Justice today, a group of lawyers from
Portland lobbied at the capltol
against the proposed constitutional
smendment that is aimed at cutting
judges' salaries.
That this proposed piece of leg!-
latlon will only tend to weed out the
efficient Judges and retain those who
couldn't make a decent living other
wise, was the argument set forth by
the lobblsts.
Of all the groups who have button
holed legislators so far, these were
the most untiring and persuasive In
their arguments. . But then lawyers
are that way.

UNEMPLOYED GET
1000 AT SLIGHT
COST TO COUNTY
By the use of county trucks to
haul the logs from the county wood
lot In the mountains, and through
the efforts of Claude Stevens, of the
Medford fire department, who Is In
charge of the wood lot across from
the fire hall, wood Is now being fur
nished to the unemployed of the val
ley at a cost to the county of eleven
and two-thirds cents & tier.
.Figures on the cost to the county
of furnishing the wood were prepared
cms morning by Hamilton P&tton,
and compared with the $1.35 a tier
that the wood cost the county before
the county trucks were used to haul
the logs from the mountains to Med
ford. Any man who will work either
In the city wood lot or in the moun
tains for five hours gets a tier of
the wood. The surplus wood Is given
to families where there la no one
capable of working In the wood lot.
Twenty men were working In the
wood lot by the fire hall this morn
ing, and an equal number In the
mountains, getting out the logs. Last
night the supply was down to one
tier, Stevens said, but a truckload
of logs arrived early this morning,
and another later In the day, and .by
nightfall nearly 40 tiers of wood will
have been sawed and split, ready for
use in heater or cook stove.
So well Is the system working,
Stevens said, that no particular
effort is made to keep the saws sharp
because the men would get ahead of
the trucks and get more wood cut
than they could dispose of. - 1
Triese men are earning the wood
they get," Stevens said, "and don't
think for a minute they aren't. This
isn't any dole, and It Isn't going to
be. Anyone who wants to work, and
follow orders, can get a tier of wood
when he needs It. we haven't any
time for troublemakers."

FEED FOR BIROS
SCATTERED WIDE
BY MILLING CO.
Loaded with two and one-half tons
of feed the Monarch Seed 5s Feed
Co.'s truck left this city early this
morning for various parts of the val
ley distributing feed to the wild
birds. The blanket of snow covering
the valley has deprived all wild bird
life of their "dally bread" and re
ports coming in from the country
tell of the many dead birds which
have fallen prey to the wintry
weather through lack of food to sus
tain life.
The recent heavy snows have com
pletely covered all natural food and
as a result birds are dying from
starvation. The food being distrib
uted by the Monarch Seed & Feed
Co., consists of cracked wheat, corn
and miscellaneous cracked grains ac
cumulated at their milling plant In
tnis city.
"The Monarch Seed & Feed Co.'s
mission of mercy should be backed
up by a general campaign by all,"
said one bird lover, who continued,
"scatter grains or bread crumbs, suet
or fruit on the snow so that the
birds will receive food to keep their
bodies warm.
Birds serve humanity to such a
degree as to warrant protection in
times of need. But for the birds
our gardens and orchards would fall
prey to untold millions of Insects
which our feathered friends keep
under control. Feed the birds. Don't
let them starve."
FOR STEELHEAD
FISHING IN FEB.
Steelhead fishermen of southern
Oregon were pleased to learn that the
state game commission has approved
the opening of the Illinois river to
steelhead fishing during the month
of February.
Notice of the decision was received
here by H. L. Nobllt, secretary ot the
Jackson county game protective asso
ciation yesterday. The move was In
response to requests from the local
organization and from the Ieaak
Walton club of Grants Pass, that the
Illinois river be opened for an extra
month. It has ordinarily been closed
on January 31, to remain closed until
April 15.
Only steelhead over 15 Inches In
length can be taken under the ruling,
and the ruling does not effect Rogue
river.
The ruling applies only to that part
of the Illinois river from Ita mouth
to the Illinois falls.
Local sportsmen were Jubilant over
the news, as It will provide an extra
month of some of the best fishing in
Oregon. Many large catches have been
taken In the Illinois In the past few
years and It Is a Mecca for many Med
ford fishermen.

SHOES NEEDED IN
EFFORT TO KEEP
FEET FROM COLD
"Have you ever had cold feet?"
That Is the question local relief work
ers are asking today. But not in the
spirit of slang. For while the birds
are being fed, woodsheds and larders
filled to defeat the march of old
man winter, there are a lot of feet
heading straight toward chilblains
And the relief workers would like
those persons who have had cold feet
and that Includes Just about every
body) to think back on them.
For they feel that anyone who
remembers the agony that can come
with honest-to-goodness cold feet,
will be glad to do something to cover
up the many feet in Jackson county
now exposed to the snow.
Relief workers recommend shoes as
the best corectlve for the prevailing
condition and anyone who has some
pairs to give away, or the price of a
pair to donate to the legion of cold
feet, la asked to get In touch with
the Welfare Exchange in the old city
hall. There the shoes will be re
celved and distributed In the cam
paign to prevent the multiplication
of chilblains. In weather such as
this. It is stressed by the welfare
workers, shoes that leak are of little
benefit to cold feet, and those with
soles, linings and sometimes sides
missing, are of still less use to their
wearers.
