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.

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

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

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,

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
