The county court contemplate in
auguration of a systematic campaign
the coming spring for collection of
dog licenses In Jackson county and
to that end. has provided that the
sheriff's office shall hare charge of
dog tax collections, outside of incor
porated cities, with municipalities
making the collections themselves.
Under Oregon law. the cities receive
80 per cent of the dog tax collections,
the county furnishing the tags, the
clerical help and supplies. The co
operation of the cities has been se
cured.
"The collection of dog licenses was
allowed to lapse last -year," County
Judge Earl B. Day said this morning
"but this year, the county Is going
arter the dogs. Nothing in the way of
Impounding the unlicensed dog can
ne done until after March 1."
Impounded dogs will be under su
pervision of the Jackson County Hu
mane society, and the county court
recently appropriated (300 for this
work. The Humane society received
nothing on the 1035 budget. It was
felt this was cheaper than spending
9500 or so, for construction of a dog
pound. Under Oregon law a dog-
owner must be given time to redeem
It before disposal of the animal.
The past year the county expended
close to 8750 in payment of claims
for sheep killed by dogs and it is ex
pected that sufficient dog license
money will be turned tn to take care
of future sheep claims. A number of
the sheep-killing dogs have been
slain, and In each Instance the dogs
were unlicensed.
Dog license fees are $1.50 for fe
male and 91 for males. The county
clerk's office reports that to date
dog licenses have been taken out.
last year 176 dog licenses were Issued.
It Is estimated that the dog popula
tion of the county Is close to 2200.

I.S.,
TOLD ACTIVIANS
FISCH RELATIVES IN NEW YORK
SENTENCE DATE FOR
A number of reasons have been
advanced to explain the startling
revival which basketball seems to be
enjoying this season.
In the east Intersect tonal games
have caught the fancy of tha sports
public. On two successive week-ends
capacity 'crowds of more than 16.000
Jammed Madison Square garden In
New York city to witness the con
tests. Most eastern colleges are play
ing to greater numbers than ever
before.
The decision to Include exhibition
basketball games in the 1036 Olympic
program may ttave stimulated Inter
est in the cage game. At least thiB
recognition proves the game has
grown to international pruporttons.
This year the tournament spon
sored by the Amateur Athletic union
will hold more than the usual In
terest. Heretofore the Cast showed
only passing interest in the A. A. U.
tournament, but it is very likely
that the leading college team In that
section will participate this year.
With western, far western and south
ern teams taking part, the tourna
ment promises to be truly national
In scope. m
It has been, pretty generally con
ceded that the best brand of basket
ball has been played In the midwest.
But the 'way the eastern teams have
been drubbing mldwesterners of late
in the intersectional battles, has
caused considerable surprise com
ment. Wisconsin. Ohio State, Notre Dame.
Drake and Indiana have fallen before
eastern rivals.
New York university defeated
Notre Dame decisively and followed
It up a week later with a single
point victory over Kentucky, the
wonder team of the south.
The far wept evldentlv lags In bas
ketball development, for the Stanford
team which invaded the mid-west
experienced a disastroua tour. If
Stanford is representative of what
the coast dame has to offer It must
he rated below the mldwestern stand
ard.
With the great new Interest ahown
in basketball it is unfortunate that
the officiating should stir up so
much criticism. Lack of consistent
interpretation of the rules has. in
several cases cf intersectional games.
Meft the defeated teams disgruntled
to say the least.
Purdue defeated Wisconsin in the
Big Ten opening on a foul toss In
the last few seconds of olay. Just as
New York U. topped Kentucky. In
boh cases the partisan fans about
raised the roof In voicing their dis
pleasure at. the official's decision.
Basketball officials have a diffi
cult task at best, the distinction be
tween fair and foul' often being eo
fine that while an official may hon
estlv see it one way the thousands
in the Rtsnd, especially the partisan
one- mar see it another.
In trying tr popularize the court
game It mlcht be well to borrow the
old football cry to "open tip the
(rim.' The cntr pivot play, so
winelv ued In mnnv sertiens. will
not gtve the spectators the action
thev demand. To have a man spotted
undr the basket and constantly
fed the ball to him so he can shoot
becomes monotonous. It is drab and
el.twa d-wn the action.
It is goir-g t- take speed, accuracy
ar.d plenty of stlrrlne action to hold
the new converts to basketball If the
dame Is to secure its new-found
gains.

Mr. Haluk said, the effects of Bol

erable extent in this country.
Anarchy waa born in Russia, ac
cording to the speaker, and la under
the control of a group of leaders who
would work toward the overthrow of

the Czar waa responsible for the birth
and growth of this "fanatical dis
ease," the speaker declared, pointing
out that with the dlssention that
swept the country during the World
war, it waa only a natural conse-
quence that the old government waa
overthrown. The speaker also inter'
eatlngly described the maintenance of
a modern army, a supreme air force
and numeroua propaganda agencies
by Russian leaders.

JONES RENEWS PLEA
FOR FREEDOM FROM
STATE PENITENTIARY
Friends and relatives of Walter J.
serving four years In state prison for
conviction of ballot theft, have re
newed efforts to secure his release.
His application for parole Is expected
to be presented at the February meet
ing of the state parole board. An
application accompanied by petitions
for his release was presented at the
November board session but no ac
tion was taken.
Jones, now 63 years old, one of the
lieutenants of Banks and Fehl In
their agitation tn this county, was
shown in testimony at the trials as
the "signalman" of the burglary. He
was also an "alibi witness for Banks
at hla murder trial in Eugene. Ill
health of Jones' wife Is given as one
of the grounds for his parole.
Gordon Schermerhorn, former sher
iff, serving three years for ballot
theft, recently told friends who vis
ited him at Salem, he did not jexpect
to receive a parole until he has
served his minimum sentence of one
year, which expires next August. Cir
cuit Judge George F. Sklpworth of
Lane county and Assistant Attorney
General Moody, per promise, recom
mended that Schermerhorn be pa
roled after he had served six months
in the penitentiary. The parole board
declined to take action upon the rec
ommendation. No action Is expected upon any pa
role application of E. H. Fehl, serv
ing four years for vote stealing con
spiracy. Dozens of petitions bearing

at the Timber Products company
plant to replace those destroyed by
fire two months ago have been com
pleted and work started on the foun
dation of the new office building.
The sheds are 60 by 208 feet and j

state. Floyd H. Hart, general man-1
ager of the company, said the new
office quarters would be "Just a nice
office."

stroyed by fire early last December
at a loss estimated at $50,000, largely
covered by insurance.
