PAGE THREE
By Eva Kealon Hamilton
"It takes perspiration, not Inspira
tion to writs" that's the way Hal
O. Evarts, famous naturalist and wri
ter of nature stories (fact and fic
tion), put It this morning, when he
stopped In Medford to quaff a stein
of beer before continuing to the Fur,
Fish and Game farm, north of Pros
pect, where he plans to spend the
summer. (In communion with little
Billy Ground Squirrel, If you please).
At least, said he, when his beer was
so rudely Interrupted, he finds him
self In more of the former and less
of the latter, when he writes stories.
It's hard work, boys and girls, not
genius 1 "I never had any of that",
Mr. Evarts declared with a smile that
rolled a wrinkle up to the crown of
his panama hat, as he further denied
press comments, which have accred
ited quotations to the contrary to his
tongue.
He's going to do some writing In
southern Oregon, he admitted, at his
favorite haunt, the Fur, Fish and
nmA farm, where he visited a few
years ago.
What the writing will be
Society and Clubs
Edited by Eva Nealon Hamilton
..., h declared he didn't know,
, !,.ri Ms listeners that he will
be so sick of the thing before It Is
done, he will wonaer u mo
lng public will take It (at advertising
rates). And then the story will ap
pear. ,.
r An tet darned sick of my yarns,
he repeated. "People say they learn
to love them: I don't. It s nara war
to make things run along smoothly.
I don't write easily." To which re
n.rv neoree Ferguson, who Is mo
toring back to the farm with Mr.
EvartB today, raised his eyebrows In
that certain way, which Bays, ( Mr.
ipvnrt i a modest man'",.
The author, who has made famous
heroes of animals, great and small
of the northwest, Is accompanied to
southern Oregon by his son, Hal a.
Evarts, Jr., student at Stanford (and
the brains of the family, according to
his pa).
The two will remain In the great
expanse of outdoors, which the upper
Rogue river section offers, until fall.
For Mr. Evarts likes the animals of
the northwest best of all. He never
kills them for sport, he said today.
But killed many In hla younger days
to satisfy his appetite. In hla collec
tion he does not value heads, but
furs. The latter seem' to fascinate
him. Judging from his conversation,
which took on added enthusiasm this
morning each time he referred to the
tine colorings found In the martin,
the red fox and the many other
animals he knows intimately.
When he gets a lot of money and
takes up an avocation In place of a
vocation, he's going to have a farm,
where he can raise animals, Just for
the fun of It and make some experi
ments, he has always longed to try.
Asked If he had hope of developing
such a project at the Fur, Fish and
Game Farm, he answered, "I haven't
any hope any more. But I do want
to raise some Plovers before they be
come extinct. Asked where plovers
are located now, he answered: "They
aren't located anywhere. Just here
and there a few remain."
Mr. Evarts also wants to raise mar
tins and fishers, the latter Just glori
fied martins. And he's going to do
some trapping at the same farm this
summer.
"I'm the world's worst fisherman,"
he described himself, "But one of the
best trappers (I can say that with
ease, this Isn't the season for trap
ping)." He added In a miniature
strange Interlude all his own.
"I've always had a yen for' ani
mals," Mr. Evarts explained the sub
jects of his many beloved stories. "I
haven't any pets, because It would be
a crime to have them In Los Angeles,
where I now live. But when I get
back In the sticks again. That will
be different."
"When I hunt and trap, I don't
work," he talked on, "I lie on a
stump and take the direction of the
wind and they come to me. It's
easier on this bay window of mine,
"When I write, It's not any 'art
for art's sake.' It's to keep the wolf
from the door." To which declara
tion, Mr. Ferguson gave his eyebrows
another lift.
Speaking of the mountain regions
he enters In search of subjects, Mr.
Evarts stated, "There's nothing dan
gerous about It, The animals are all
right and the few people, you come
upon In places like that. Well, you
can always depend on them being all
right if you attend to your own bust
neas."
Asked why he chose to go Into the
fur business and on Into writing, Mr.
Evarts replied, "I got tired of fitting
shoes on peoples' feet." From the
shoe business In Kansas he went Into
Wyoming and established a fur farm,
where he had 750 skunks, along with
a lot of other things. He "never got
much ahead of the hounds at any
time," he stated. So when there was
nothing else to do he wrote and
that's how It all happened. Now he
Is building htm a home at the Fur,
Fish and Game Farm.

NOBONDISSUEON
SEWAGE PLAN! IF:
If federal funds, applied or, through
the National Industrial Recovery act,
are not granted, the bonds to be voted
by Medford citizens for sewage con
struction thla coming Prlday will not
be Issued, Mayor E. M. Wilson pointed
out this morning, reminding the pub
lic that no' action will be taken by
the city without the loan of federal
funds.
City officials have been given the
understanding that the money will
undoubtedly be forthcoming under
the national recovery act, bringing
Medford a gift of $30,000 and a loan
of $70,000 to be paid back over a pe
riod of 30 years with an interest
charge of four per cent.
The officials are anxious, however,
that, the public understand clearly
that unless this application Is granted
no action will be taken by the city
of Medford, as It would be unwise to
try to sell the bonds on the present
market.
The special election was called for
this coming Friday to submit the
question to the people for their ap
proval, so that If the loan Is granted,
Medford will be In a position to take
Immediate advantage of it.
STATE WITNESS
EXPENSE SAVED
B AGREEMENT
Arrangements have been complet
ed between the sheriff's office and
Assistant Attorney General Ralph
Moody, who Is in charge of prosecu
tion in the trial of Earl H. Fehl for
complicity In the ballot theft here,
now being held in Klamath Palls, to
transport state witnesses from here
to Klamath Palls on the day they are
needed, thus saving the state the
cost of holding the witnesses several
dnys in Klamath Falls.
The witnesses will still get their
mileage tinder the law, It was pointed
out, but they will be subpoenaed on
the day they will testify, Instead of
several days before, and will be paid
only for the time they are used, In
stead of pay them two dollars & day
for standing around several days
awaiting their return on the stand.
It Is believed the arrangements by
the state will save the county con
siderable money. It Is not known
whether or not the defense will per
mit the arrangement to apply to de
fense witnesses. Those witnesses who
have already been subpoenaed are
called for Thursday, It is understood.

I
STILL ON BOOKS
Although Oregon voters swarmed to
the polls last Friday to swamp the
prohibition amendment to the state
constitution under nearly a two to
one vote, there still remains on the
statute books several laws governing
Mle and manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors, according to O. A. Codding,
district attorney.
Repeal of the Anderson act at the
election last fall, Codding said, re
pealed enly part of the enforcement
code, and repeal of the constitutional
amendment did not effect the laws
against manufacture and sale.
General opinion is, however, that
these laws will be changed at the next
meeting of the legislature to regula
tory laws Instead of prohibition laws,
to comp'.y with the public opinion to
definite!; expressed lut Friday,

Steady Smokers turn to Camels
"It's some strain being the public's eyes at big sport

the play-by-play for Western Union. "I have to see
everything and I have to see it right I've got to
keep my eyes on the field and a steady hand on the

I have Bmoked Camels for years. They are mild,
and never disturb my nerves. I like them better."
