WHY PIONEEBS SMILED

As the magnificent boat,
launched in the Umatilla river
near the bridge, touched the
water the bills on the opposite
- bank of the river echoed with the
reverberations of the booming
cannon or, more properly speak
ing, an old hone pistol In the
hands of one of our most proml
.' nent citizens. This salute near
ly turned the Joyful scene Into a
picture of woe and grief, the old
h. p. kicking so hard that the
most p. .e. was knocked out of
time and rolled down the bank
to the river below.

HERO WORSHIP
Once upon a time there was a Hero,
who decided to save everything and
everybody. He made speeches. He
talked on the slightest provocation.
Me told the farmers how abused
they were, and promised to reduce
Taxes. He discovered the prejudices
of the people, and stroked them till
they purred. He shook hands. He
wore a martyred look. He posed as
the Boy Upon the Burning Deck, and
Special Agent of the Lord. He fretted
about the Pate of the Common Man,
and told the womenfolks he was
brave. The people, wise In the ways
of politicians, called him one.
Mow this made our Hero so mad he
squealed, and broke his little finger
pounding a desk, In his comic rage.
He was so mad he wanted to take
the people by the seat of the pants
' and throw tiiem Into Rogue river
with the fishes. And this gave him
a new Idea. He began to cuss the
people to blaspheme and scold and
deride them, and their form of gov
ernment, and their Constitution, sad
all their works.
And some of the people cried I
"Oh, halnt he wonderful 1"

California. We can only fall back upon the fundamental

seeds of its own destruction.
As we told Mr. Cate, the Mail Tribune will continue in the
future, as it has in the past, to give its readers the facts, tell
them the truth about every issue as it arises, and we are as
certain that this policy will EVENTUALLY. WIN, as that the
sun will come up tomorrow. For as everyone knows "truth

Incidentally, Jackson county's former county agent and we
never had a better one ! has absolute faith in the comeback of
the pear industry in Southern Oregon, and is confident that the
high quality of the leadership and skill of orchard management
up there, will assure the maximum prosperity, when prosperity
in ANY department of agriculture or horticulture is possible.
He regards a good cannery market as the most important fea
ture of the industry.
While the avacado industry is suffering, along with every
thing else ; because of the limited supply, 50,000 acres eventual
production is placed as the absolute limit in the entire United
States the avacado growers even in a year like this, have been
breaking even, and some have made money. It's the old law
of supply and demand again. Prevailing market prices are
about half what they were two or three years ago, but growers
in Southern California enjoy a great advantage, for they sell
SO percent of their output right in the state Los Angeles and
San Francisco. ' Avacados are shipped to Chicago and New York

be to the pears growers in Medford, if they could sell half their
crop in Grants Fass I This Cate tract, five miles long and three
milos wido, is only an hour's motor trip from Pasadena in fact
we made it in 50 minutes and thore was no speeding.
Mr. Cate has his own tract of 23 acres, containing nearly
2000 trees and a building site high on the top of a hill, from
which one can see half of Southern California. Over the tops
of oil derricks, which dot the landscape down there, one can
see the Pacifio ocean, Hollywood and Los Angeles, and moun
tains east, west and south to the horizon. The avacados are
not in full bearing as yet if they were the owner would not

The three Cate boys sre all in school or college, and during
their vacations, needless to say, they work on the ranch, with
papa to oversee them. The youngest (in school) has developed
into quite a basketball star, and of course that makes Claude
feel just terribly 1
We were taken all over the tract, and learned a good deal
not only about avacados but oranges and lemons (the tract is
in the center of the citrus and oil belt).
No chance for oil however, the entire tract was tested out
before the avacado boom started.
"Give our best to everyone in Medford" said Claude and
Mrs. Claude as we started back, and they stood waving from
the tract office, until we were out of sight. B. W. R.

good news of the Improve! method
of relieving prostatic obstruction.

the cystoscope by

should skip It. In no Instance can
sny reader obtain from this service
any aid or comfort In the Interpret
ing of symptoms or the diagnosis o:
prostatic obstruction. All such In
quiries or Investigations should be
left wholly to the individual's per
sonal physician.

favorable auspices Is nothing to write
to the papers about, unless you're
young surgeon. On the receiving end
of the line It Is quite as unpleasant
to undergo as it Is to discuss at the
dinner table. Personally, I am not
at all averse to having a nice comSy
little operation occasionally, san
appendectomy or any little thing like
that where one can dicker with the
insurance people to fork over the
wager In a lump sum. But even as a
young man, In medicine, and with
all my Invidious allusions to old
fogies, old codgers, old geezers and
old timers, I have always regarded
the lot of the bladdery old gentleman
with some feeling between aversion
and smug detachment. Now I won

Tet that is not the reason why I
have studiously avoided the subject
of this talk all these years. No. I
have kept It out of this column be

reasonable balance on the cheery

Upon the occasion of the formal
Introduction of the successful adap
tation of the new method in prac
tice by Dr. John R. Caulk, before the
last annual session of the American
Medical association (section on urol
ogy), some characteristic comments
were made In the open discussion of
the method by urologists whose
knowledge and experience In the old
Spanish methods are extensive. .
First let us quote some of the views
of leading urologists who have had
experience with both the older dis
section methods and the electro-sur
gical method:
Dr. Joseph 7. McCarthy of New
York said:
"The factors of safety as to
life, conservation of mental ap
proach, hospital domicile, mor
bidity after hospitalization, and
early return to customary duties
are such as to justify me In ad
vancing the opinion that in 00
per cent of cases in which pros
tatic obstruction is already es
tablished, whether' It la fibrosis,
benign hypertrophy or a malig
nant process, prostatectomy Is
destined to become obsolete.

BIGGEST
PROBLEMS
dustry, particularly during the past
decade. Waste has decreased. The
problem of production Is almost
solved. The government should be
quick to Import the most modern de
vices of efficiency In organization and
technique.
Indeed Its recent record against
graft, corruption and inefficiency has
been encouraging. But enormous
gains are still possible.
The problem is to make government
change more easily and rapidly, in
stead of clinging to the forms and
precedents of the earlier rulers of a
by-gone agricultural era. No farmer
today would be content to use
Thomas Jeffersons plow, but we do
not seem to want to change his gov
ernmental ideas. V
Europe's Changes Quicker,
It Is probably true that the gov
ernments of Europe have changed
much more rapidly than In the
United States. Should government
and business become more close in
the future, and should the Issues
which government deal with touch
the lives of individuals and the In
terest of business more Intimately,
much more attention will be given
to its affairs.
How weU the public business Is run
Is not wholly a matter of tools. It
Is also a matter of the representation
of Interests.
