Editorial Correspondence
BUFFAIX), Wyoming, June 1. The next time we visit
Wyoming we will bring a 10 gallon hat. For that type of male
headgear fits the landscape. The ordinary felt hat or the boating
straw, not only faila to fit the landscape, but makes the wearer
as conspicuous as a racoon coat in a Nudist colony. The entire
male population of Buffalo wear the sombrero type of head
covering including the babies, and to all of them, fat and lean,
old and young, it is becoming. A little girl in this household
when she dresses up puts on a pair of blue jeans, and a hat as
big as she is, with a silver studded leather belt somewhere in
between. She looks stunning.
....
The weather reports of Buffalo, Wyoming may not be of
absorbing interest to the people of Southern Oregon, but having
opened the subject we might as well make the record complete.
Last night there was a heavy thunderstorm, and outside the
family garden is nicely soaked. The young man who has been
rounding up the yearlings on the ranch, came in to breakfast
for his day off, and some hard hearted grown up suggested he
hoe the garden. He was terribly put out to find the garden was
too wet. As a result of the downpour everyone in this part of
Wyoming is feeling better.
....
Farmers here who have no mortgages on their properties
are out of luck. They can't get government loans. Those with
mortgages can and have. A turkey, chicken and dairy rancher
was in here yesterday. He is a
tural college, and married a Boston girl who spent a summer at
the Horton ranch. He reported he had secured a government
loan of $30 an acre, because he was in danger of losing his place
to the man who held the mortgage, and frankjy admitted it was
more than his ranch is worth. But why should he worry t He
has paid off his mortgage," sells cream, chickens and turkeys in
Sheridan, and plans a trip to Boston in the fall. If business
continues good he is sitting pretty, if it doesn't Uncle Sam gets
the ranch.
Distances here mean nothing. An invitation to afternoon tea
at a place 60 miles away was accepted with alacrity. The drive
over was delightful through beautiful fertile country, green and
rolling, fat stock and fine looking barns and houses. Our desti
nation was one of the show places in the Big Horn country,
owned by an Englishman, who came here 40 years ago. At the
foot of the beautiful Big Horn mountains, he is monarch of all
he surveys. He has his own polo field, trout stream, and driving
up the long lane we seared up a flock of sage hens as big as
Plymouth Rocks. Nothing pretentious about the large white
I country house, but comfortable

En route home looked in at the famous Eaton ranch, one of
the first and best known dude ranches in the west. Of the three
Eaton brothers only one is left, he met us at the main building,
an elderly man, rugged, genial, genuine. His hands were so
dirty he refused to shake with tho tea party, and made them
no better by wiping off some surplus tobacco juice from his
chin. It's odd about peoplo personality is an elusive thing.
It took only a few minutes to show tho tea party Mr. ERton
was a REAL person it was easy to, see how the dudes would
like and respect him his neighbors also no matter in what
environment he might be thrown he would make himself felt,
and people of all kinds would be drawn to him. He showed us
Mary Roberts Rhinchart'a cottage "we call it her cottage but
it belongs to Eaton Brothers" he said.
He invited us all to dinner,
clean as a pin and the large but attractive dining room. 'Come
on and stay'? he urged, "I will ring a pig's neck for you, and
you can have a dance after." It was tempting for in spite of
the tea, the long drive and cool mountain air had given us a
keen appetite. However we had to get home, with the sun get
ting low in th,e west, and over 70 miles to go.
. . .
Returning via Sheridan we stopped in at an artist's cottage
but no one was at home. The maid, a true westerner, invited
us in offering drinks and cigarettes. She thought Mr. H. might
be at his studio only a short walk off through the trees. We
wandered over and found a note on the studio door "Gone fish
ing." On the other side of the card was written "Havo gone
sketching." This was apparently his vacation day. Tho room
was full of attractive water eolors and etchings. Mr. H. recently
roceived the gold medal for his etchings exhibited in San Fran
cisoo. The young lady in the party liked the watcrcolors best
"they were so bright and colorful." But the member of tho
party not so young said, she would take one etching of wild geese
in flight, for all the water colors. The latter was undoubtedly
right, but we agreed with the former. R. W. R.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FBANK JENKINS
OREGON had no state exhibit last
year at the Century of Progress
exposition in Chicago.
Arthur Poster, formerly with the
land settlement department of the
state chamber of commerce, before
that Immigration agent for the Great
Northern and Northern Paclflo rail'
ways, thinks Oregon OUOHT to have
an exhibit this year.
MRc,
POSTER, last year, was in
charge of the Washington ex.
hlblt at the Century of Progress.
The Washington exhibit cost $20,.
000. By actual count, two and a half
million people saw It.
That's getting pretty cheap adver
tising, f
DOT even this doesn't tell the whole
U story.
At the Washington exhibit last
year, Mr. Poster says, they made a
PROFIT of 810,000 on the small num.
ber of Washington products they
were able to offer for sale to the
crowds.
He says they could have made
8100,000 If they had had the products
to sell for the crowds wanted to
buy, and they HAD MONEY.
AT FIRST they thought they could
not sell anything. Then they
found they could because of a
change In rules. -
So one day they put up for sale
a couple of boxes of Washington
appln that were on exhibit and
were getting a'llttle soft. They went
like hot cakes at a nickel apiece.
Then they sent over to the cold stor
age warehouses, which were Jammed
with apples, for more.
The first day they sold 38 boxes.
The second day they sold 40 boxes.
The third day they sold SO.
It kept on going that way until
they had got up to 120 boxes a day
at five cents per apple.
THEN aomethlng happened.
Floyd Olbbona went on the ra
dio one night with one of his char
acteristic, rapid-fire talks. Among
other things, he said:
"Folks, ths marvel of the Century
of Progress la the Washington state
exhibit. If youll come here, you'll
see people from all over the U. S.
fighting each other for the privilege
of paying a nickel apiece for Wash
ington apples, then going over to the
other exhibits, sitting down and eat
ing them and throwing the cores on
the floor."
THE Washington people though
Floyd's talk was hot stuff, and
patted themselves on the back. But
It WASN'T so hot.
The next day the Chicago health
authorities came down on them like
a ton of bricks, told them their apple
cores were unsightly, unsanitary and
a menace to health and that the
sale of apples HAD TO BE STOPPED.
The Chicago ,olk, probably prodded
on by the other state exhibits, Just
couldn't bear to see Washington get
ting away with anything like that.
pHEY had to quit selling apples.
But they sold candy made of ap
ples and a few other products, and
out of It all they made a profit of
810.000 for the year, thus halt pay
lng the cost of the exhibit.
nnHE Washington people thought
aays, was sadly lacking In actual
agricultural products.
They had three potatoes, preserved
in formaldehyde In Jars. They had
dozen prunes, four walnuts and
ten filberts. They had a few boxes of
apples.
But even this unbelievably small
exhibit of actual products, he aays,
made a great hit with Eastern people,
and actually did much to open new
marketa for Washington products.
OBSERVATION of
success with ar
Washington's
exceedingly
small amount of money has led a
number of people to believe Oregon
should have an exhibit at the Cen
tury of Prbgress this year.
Portland has agreed to put up 110,
000 if another 110,000 can be raised
by the state. It will have to be
done quickly, of course, If It Is done
at all, for the exposition is now open.
Mr. Foster was In Southern Oregon
last week, telling the story and seek
ing Southern Oregon support.
TpHE crowds, he says, are there.
They have money to spend for ,
what they want.
They want ENTERTAINMENT.
They'll buy the fruits and other
fancy food products of the Pacific
Coast. They're keenly Interested In
outdoor exhibits, showing hunting,
fishing and scenery spending hours
before them.
,He tells an Interesting tsle. and
this writer, for one, enjoyed listen
ing to him.

Who Can Recall?
To the Editor:
In looking over the list of the gov
ernors of the state of Oregon in your
Monday issue, one of the names re
called the year when Oregon had two
Thanksgiving days in the same year,
and perhaps the only state that ever
held that honor one set aside by the
president, the other by the governor
and I am wondering how many of the
old settlers can recall who the gov
ernor was and who was president and
the circumstances that brought It
about. I would like to hear through
your paper, how many recall the cir

CHICAGO, June 8. (AP) Rain
has come to parched farms of the
west, but in many places too late
to pour life back Into burned grain
fields.
Water was still precious In spite
of heavy rains In seven states last
night. Additional rains were fore
cast generally for the ravaged area,
lending hope that the peak of six
weeks drought damage has been
reached.
Although rain fell in Iowa, Illin
ois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da
kota, Nebraska and Indiana, a sur
vey showed today that much of the
early small grain was beyond re
demption and the need for Immed
iate relief acute.

The White House Is apparently

dangers of the good old-fashioned
"communist menace." It is a shrewd
answer to those who have been criti
cising the administration for com
munistic tendencies, and Is so In
tended. Opposing factions have been argu
ing and fighting ao much In the house
oil hearings that there was little op
portunity for constructive testimony.
That subject brings on warmer argu
ments now than religion used to. .

ES BY FIRE
SALEM, June 8 (AP) The Insured
fire loss In Oregon during 1933 was
reduced 3S per cent, as compared to
1932 the annual report of the state
fire marshal Issued today showed.
This reduction. Marshal A. H. Averlll
said, was In the face of the greater
value of propertlea at risk by fire of
1.79 per cent.
During the year 4620 fires were re
ported, a reduction of 20S9 under

was 5374. For 1933 the claims totaled
4620. The five-year average actual

year the actual loss waa about half
of the average for the five-year period.
