ed this morning In circuit court when
Judge H. D. Norton ruled that euch
teatlmony would dlacloae the defenae
before the time of trial. Hlttson wai
called to the witness atand to teatlfy
to these facte but the court'! action
baited taking of the verbal deposition.
Geo rue M. Roberta. Ed Marshall,
George P. Barton and Edwin P.
Hughes have filed ault against Hltt
son, alleging that ho "surreptitiously
removed without authority gold
from from the Ruby mining claims
In the Elliott Creek district.
Rlttson's attorney. Allison Moul-
ton objected to questioning as to
"when and who was witn you wnen
the gold was removed?" and was aus
talned by the court.
The court first adjourned the hear
tng until a o'clock thl! afternoon
but the session was closed when At
torney Roberta informed the bench
there was no Oregon supreme court
decision upholding the plaintiff's
contention.
Orris Crawford cashier of the First
National bank called as a witness
testified that last December Hltteon
shipped through the bank 69 ounces
of sold to the united states mini ai
Ban Francisco that returned (1037.33,
and that last January a second gold
shipment to the mint netted U.-
309.81. Crawford testified he did not
recall any statement by Hlttson as to
where he got the gold. Attorney bod.
erts brought out that the affidavit
required of mint shipments eiaieo
the gold was secured "on property
other than the Lucky Thirteen and
Ruby mining claims." The two prop
erties are Involved In the suit.

CLOSING OF ROGUE HOOVER REFUSES
WIL LBEAR FRUITS
IN COMING YEARS
The long fight to close the Rogue
river to commercial fishing having at
last been won. local sportsmen are
Jubilant over the results, and all con
fidently expect a marked Improve
ment at the river, both In llahlng
conditions, and the Improvement In
the tourist travel occasioned by those
conditions.
Thla marked Improvement in all
probability will not be Immediate,
however, according to H. L. Noblltt,
secretary of the Rogue river commit
tee of Jackson and Josephine counties
and T. B. Daniels, chairman of the
flan and game committee of the
chamber of commerce. Those two
authorities are agreed that It will pro
bably be three or four years before
the river again la properly stocked
with eteelhead and aalmon.
During the years that the fight for
closure haa been carried on, the drain
on the number of flch by the com
mercial netting operations at the
mouth of the river has been so heavy
that at the present time the river haa
become greatly depleted of those, vari
eties, they pointed out.
Noblltt also pointed out that It
takes four yeara for eteelhead and
salmon to complete their cyclo.
Therefore, the fish spawned this sea
son will not return to the Rogue until
10.19, by which time the sporting con
ditions should be excellent.
The probability of a referendum cn
the bill from Coos and Curry coun
ties. In which most of the commercial
fishing Is carried on, la negligible,
Daniels and Nobllt both pointed out,
In that the bill for closure waa Intro
duced from Curry county.
Manager A. H. Banwell, of the Jack
son county chamber of commerce, an
nounced today that Information re
garding the river closure will be at
tached to all folders and pamphlets
lasued by the chamber In the future,
to attract more tourists to this

tlcal problem. Some of these say
they voted for him In 1928 and 1932,
some against him, but have "come
back" In the two years since he turn
ed over the presidency to Franklin
D. Roosevelt. They look to Mr. Hoover
for counsel, and be spends much of
his time giving tt.
Many of these letters started pour
ing In when hla book, 'The Challenge
to Liberty, was first circulated last
year. That book written, some
thought, In professional language too
obtrusive for the man In the street
he wanted to reach (the "grass roots"
aa he puts It) has aold more than
120,000 copies. He finds that grati
fying. Mr. Hover Uvea In complete retire
ment from public affairs, refraining
In the main from criticism of the
democratic administration and de-1
voting himself to the private affairs
which take up every waking hour,
when the former president la at borne 1
in Palo Alto. j
Like thousands of others In this i
part of the nation, he Is not alto- I
gether satisfied with the way the
"new deal" Is working out but be 1
feels It best to remain thoroughly
In the background as far as public
comment on tt la concerned, and still
to give the president every chance to
proceed with bis program of expert-
mentation without heckling from the
side lines.
So the ex-president's household
runs along much the same as any j
successful r etlred business man's I
home runs, except for the hundreds '
of leters dally.
These averagea from 200 to 600 a
day, and he keeps three girl stenog-
raphers busy answering them. Nearly :
all are answered, and the former pres
ident spends his morning In service
of those thousands who have faith In
his leadership.
Mr. Hoover keeps In touch with
national affairs through the press
and letters from friends. He has no
confidential service out of Washing
ton or other centers. But gets major
papers lrom New York, Washington,
Chicago, Kansas City and other
points, and reads them carefully.
The ex-presldent arises about 7:30
a. m. and takes a brisk 15 minute
walk wltb either Pat, his German po
lice dog, or faithful old Weejle, a
Norwegian police dog. These dogs
were bis constant companions In tho
White House.
