PJGE ETOHT jrEDFOTJD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORH, OREGOX, WEDXESDAY, JUNE 7, 1933. L TRACED BY HART AT ROTARY MEET An lnttting talk on ths lumbr Industry by Ployd Hart, manager of the Timber Product oo. of thl city vu enjoyed by local Rotarlans at their regular weekly meeting held at the Hotel Hertford Tuesday. Mr. Hart traced development of the lumberl bualneas back to the discovery of America when one half of thla coun try waa covered with forest, and the Pilgrims need the timber for build ing their early dwelling and for fuel. It waa not until 1840 that lumber ing became a real Industry and began to develop at a startling rate, which resulted In one of the leading Indus tries of the world. Just prior to the depression period, the lumber Indus try ranked first in America In the number of men employed and second In Investment and output. The westward trend from the east and south was covered by the speak er who als.-o outlined the causes of overproduction. The tremendous In crease In taxes proved a vital factor In overproduction causing much tim ber to be cut by operators who could no longer afford to hold it because of the high taxes. Reforestation Is a natural process advised Hart providing denuded areas are properly protected to permit na tural reseedlng and growth. An ex ample of natural reforestation In a nearby area was cited by Botarlan Hart to prove hla point. In closing the speaker told of the present re vival of the lumber Industry in south ern Oregon which promises to ma terially Improve conditions through out this entire territory. William Oates waa introduced at the session as the newest member of the Medford Rotary club which now totala OS membera. 4 Oregonian Defended and Stand on Banks Explained ' Alter a day of hearing testimony In the preliminary hearing of Bob Rose and Jack Rice, cnargea witn grnnu Jsrceny, before Justice of the Peace William K. Coleman Monday, the case was dismissed. The state presented Its case Monday and the defense yes terday. Rose and Rice were charged with taking two range geldings belonging to Corbott Smith, and disposing of them to a third party. The testi mony waa conflicting. Rose and Rice are engaged In cat tle and stock raising In the Long Tom Mountain district. Both were Indicted last fall charged with set ting a forest fire. A Jury in the case of Rose returned a verdict of not guilty, with commendation for a reprn(iti. The charge against Rice was then dismissed. Rose is a picturesque mountaineer, known to scores of Jackson county people as a bunting guide. BREWERY FORMED Articles of ( Incorporation of tht Southern Oregon Brewery company were filed with the county cleric to day. The Incorporators are listed aa George Porter, Max Ge Bauer, and Ted OeBauer, all of this city. The capital tock of the company la Hi ted at 90,000, divided Into BOO aharea of the value of 1100 each. The Incor poration papers provide for the con duct of a general brewery business, and kindred activities. To the Editor: A young local scribe got Into s lit tle tangle recently with the great metropolitan dally, the Oregonian, over the reporting of "Senator" Banks' trial at Eugene. The scribe having (a) accused said paper of being biased In favor of the accused, (b) of saying the Oregonian waa sponsoring Lonergan for governor snd (c) that It had no firm settled opinion of lta own, but kind smelled around what the public had In mind before announcing Its own policy. When two parties disagree about something, they are both likely to be bit mistaken snd we think that Is the case now. Being on friendly terms with both parties we will vol unteer our service and try to blot out the slight misunderstanding. Aa to (a) there Is no doubt In our mind but what the Oregonian tried to report the trial honestly and com plains rather sadly that "It Is Impos sible to please the public down Jack son county way." Being some 800 miles away the picture naturally looks different to them (the Portlandera) than It does to us here on the ground, Suppose L. . A. B. had "bought" property In Portland like he did here, acted In the manner, got control of the Oregon Journal, used that like he did the News here, and suppose Earl Fehl had published the News-Tele gram and the two had carried on i racket that ended with the murder of one of their best peace officers, and suppose further that Medford had sent a noisy, blustering attorney up there who, with the assistance of 4 helpers, had used every trick in the profession to liberate the killer on the plea that he was hounded and persecuted by a wicked bar associa tion, by crooked competitors and horrible, vicious gang of which the Oregonian was the chief conspirator, that he was an Innocent, law-abiding martyr In a holy cause and should be let loose to work In a righteous cause, It makes a difference whose ox Is gored. If the Portland papers had been on the spot, their view would be the ame as ours. Osse (b) that the Oregonian was backing Lonergan for governor and In a news dispatch from Eugene that Enrlght was to organize "Lonergan for Oovernor Clubs," but further than that "they sayeth not." We, out in the sticks, are not supposed to know what Is going on In the sanctums of metropolitan. Journals regarding nomination of officials. Modesty probably forbid them (both paper and candidates) to com plete the whole state ticket, so we will offer a few more names for posi tions besides for . governor. Portland, having no senator now, and having not had any since the days of Harry Lane and Oeorge E. Chamberlain, may be casting goo-goo eyes for Lew, while he Is In the bsstlle In Eugene he is only 133 miles 'from Portland and as soon as out he should have a "castle" In Sullivan's Gulch, and become one of their own cttinena. By fixing him up with a pair of horns from some old blllygoat, he might butt McNary off the senatorial high chair and be come Senator Banks of Portland. Eh? According to the Medford Dally New Judge Fehl knows more law then all the lawyers In Medford; he i likes to hold office and he prefers ! to be called judge. Why should he not go to the supreme benchf The boys up In the "big house" at Salem, as well as those who contem plate going there, and who have the Kingsley ear-mark on them, would be pleased to see Tom Enrlght at torney general, for "a friend In need La a friend Indeed." Our own Henri etta, Pres. a. Q. O. would likely fit In as secretary to the governor or secretary of state and would without a doubt be warmly supported, en dorsed and recommended by the Jacksonville Miner, while Judge Fehl would have the endorsement of the Pacific Record Herald. (c) The charge that the Oregonian Is a sort of wobbly will o' the wisp with no steady opinion Is a mistake. Up to some 20 years ago the directly opposite was true. It was constantly denounced by someone for being stubborn and domineering, obstinate and bullheaded, never yielding to anybody or anything. The reason for this Is as follows: In 1850 a man by the 'name of Thomas Dryer started a little weekly paper In the then backwoods hamlet of Portland. A short time after a young printer, Henry L. Ptttock. got a Job on the paper, the enterprise did not pay well, so young Plttock had to take an Interest In the paper for his wages. A little later some more, and by 1B57 he orued the whole business, snd by 1881 It wss made Into a daily. In 1853 a family named Scott came out from Illinois. They had a boy named Harvey, a typical pioneer, worked at any Job that came along, helped quell the Indian uprising in '65 and '66, entered Pacific University at Forest Orove. when that Institution waa new. in I860 and was about its first graduate. In '84 young Scott Joined hands with Henry i. Plttock of the Oregonian and became Its editor, a position he held continuously until his death in Johns Hopkins hospital In Baltimore August 8. 1010, with exception of a short time in 1876 when he was reve nue collector. The two seemed to fit exactly Into the work of making a success of their chosen field. Before their allotted time was up. their paper had a reputation or credit of being one of five beat edited and managed newspapers In the nation. ' In the early days they had a fierce struggle to make a go, but finally won out. One competitor after another came up and went down. Scott was strongly Mlsmarcklan in hla makeup and the paper reflected his character. In the '60s and '60s It was strong for the union and against slavery. In the '70s It was for sound money and against bogus paper or greenbacks; In the '80s It was fight ing the anti-Chinese mob spirit and free silver as soon as that became an Issue. Scott being , a "gold bug" was hostile to Senator Mitchell, a sil ver man.- Then came populism "Bry an Ism" and 16 to 1. Woman's suf frage was opopsed by Scott, though hla slater, Abigail facott Dunlway. was Its greatest advocate and finally won tn 1013, 3 years after her brother's death, Local option waa denounced forerunner of prohibition, an other evli. Recall, Initiative and ref erendum was battled against as only self-seeking politicians and dema gogues would profit by It. But after all these new laws were ' passed, Scott died, and E. B. Piper became editor. The paper became more liberal and gave more heed to modern ways of life and right there la where Its critics denounced It aa being too LOANI ROSEBURO, Ore., June 7. (AP) Claiming "gross discrimination" and a lack of knowledge concerning agri cultural conditions In Douglas county, the Roseburg National Farm Loan as- soclstion. by resolution, Is asking the transfer of James R. Brown of Eu gene, aa federal appraiser for federal farm loans In Douglas county. The resolution last night was also given the unanimous endorsement of the Roseburg chamber of commerce. The resolution points out that dur ing the past year only 13 loans were allowed out of a total of 64 appli cations, despite the fact that during the 10 years the farm loan association has operated there has never been a foreclosure of a federal loan within the county, and that the diversified type of agriculture and climatic and soil conditions make the risk of fore1 closure a minimum factor. 'This association feels there has been gross discrimination in the handling of applications," the reso lution states, "not only to the detri ment of the farmers who made the applications which were disallowed, but to agriculture of the county gen erally; to the local banks endeavor ing to promote agriculture, and to the development of the community as a whole. Local banks, It Is claimed, are de sirous of exchanging farm mortgages for the new federal farm loan bonds, In order to secure money to assist farmers in harvesting this year's an ticipated bumper crops In the Ump- qua valley, but are unable to do so because of the allegedly unfair ap pre lasts.
