Unlike many distinguished travellers from abroad, Mr. Mage, field refused to pass judgment on America and Americans after spending as much as two weeks in this country. When asked what, had interested him most since landing on the Pacific coast he said it wns The lions looked so sleek there were so many of them, the greatly impressed. Will there be a poem on the No. Mr. Masefield is not a book! Oh, he might write a subject didn't seem to interest Well what about the world! He would soon complete a trip around it, what were his impressions of this cooling cinder whirling through space and revolving on its axis, as it has been doing for countless centuries, while life, human, animal and vegetable, extends surface t This elicited the first sign of were mentioned. The literary and poetical representative of the British crown pondered a moment then remarked : "There have been profound chsriftea In government all over the world In the lat few yeare. But the greateet change haa been a larger humanity In the conduct of Indu.try. IruHwtry reall. there mu.t be a charge of heart toward the man who doee the dirty work." That comment is somewhat reminiscent of the statement made by another lion admirer (though he preferred to shoot them) the late Theodore Roosevelt when he observed, this coun try would not be a good place for some of us if it were not made a good place for ALL of us. THERE HAVE been profound changes in the world during the past few years, changes of a vital character, politically, socially, industrially. And yet we have many distinguished citizens, prominent in Wnuliimrlnn 7Y C. nnA plsnu-hpre. wlin maintain, nnt.hinir much has happened, merely a world war, and a world war depres I sion 1 the effects of which have been neutralized if not entirely I overcome, and all we need now is, to return to the status quo ante, and start in again where we left on, with everything once more, just peaches and cream, and an extra slice of cake for the lucky fellow I ...... WELL why nott Didn't the impulsive T. R. live to repent of his Bull Moose aberration, and isn't this man Masefield just a poet who lives in the clouds, and like all poets falls for such things as Los Angeles lion farms and the newest fnnglcd socialistic notions t Mebbe so. But on the other hand, perhaps as a Bull Moose T. R. had the clearest, vision of his entire career, and also per haps, this man Masefield may be one of those poets who sees the truth before others do and expresses it before the less imaginative world catches up to him. Only Part Banker THE Great Northern, o'no of the best-run railroads in the country, has an issue of Illfl.OflO.OdO in seven per cent, bondi. which matures in July. The road has been seeking to refinance this losn at a lower rate of interest. The bankers of fered to take care of it for five per cent, plus an underwriting charge of a million dollars and an additional one per cent, on such bonds as they might buy. Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC, who has been conducting a campaign to get bankers to provide a flow of credit at reason able interest rates, felt and said that this was excessive. Then the bankers lowon-d their offer to -1 J -S per cent. Hut they would go no lower. But Mr. Jones had something to say about this, namely: If a bond la good enough for a banking houae to recommend to Ite Inveetori at five percent., 1 fall to understand why It la not a better Inve.tment at four per cent. Certainly the borrower haa a better chance of meeting hi. paymenta . . . So he freed the Great Northern from dependence on the bankers by offering to underwrite the loan for four per cent., instead of the bankers' five, thus saving the road more than $11,000,000. Was Mr. Jones' judgment now being offered by some dealers on a "when-issued" basis at 10-l'J. The bid price yesterday the Great Northern, if the present price holds when the bonds are formally offered, not only saves $11,000,000 because of the lower interest rate which Mr. Jones made possible but makes that extra Il'j points.

Another cor respondent pre sents a hypoth etical esse: Sup pose he, acting under a sudden s- Impulse of an noyance, gave his wife a push snd she fell, striking her head on i stone sill and suffering a ratal frac ture of ths skull. Would I, as fam ily physician and friend, liuist on . . . In either case the physician Is morally and I think legally bound to report the circumstances to the coroner. In fact the law specifically provides, In most states, that the attending physician shall not give certificate of death without the consent of the coroner, where Illness or Injury bring death within 24 hour after the physician 1 called. As family physician I would of course be a friend. If anybody doubts that his family physician is his friend he ought to discharge the physician and engage one who can Inspire friendship. In any cir cumstance a family physician nat urally desires to glvs ths patient's interest first consideration and the family's Interest next consideration, and will give them the benefit of any doubt so far as hla conscience permits. Ethically, morally and legally a physician Is bound to keep Invio late whatever he learns In his pro fessional capacity. If It Is some thing which otiRht not to be di vulged. This section of the Hlppo- cratic oath. In my opinion, makes null and void any special statute which would make It s misdemeanor for a physician to fall to report to the police anyone who seeks his service for gun shot wound. Even ths fugitive from Justice or the presumptive criminal Is still entit led to this sanctuary. Physicians In general are divided about this: some share my view; others hold that the fundamental law and the Hlppocratle oath should be violated and the statute obeyed. Regarding ordinary secrets. re member that a reputable physician Is concerned only about your phys ical and mental health, and as s physlclnn he or she Is not at all concerned about your morals, your pirltnnl trouble or your legs! af NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THE headlines tell us that sn elec tion was held on Friday. Judging by ths slss of the vote east, that wtU bs hot news to s Isrgs part of the electorate. F3UR measures were up for con sideration. All were snowed undei heavily although by varying majori ties. The voters of Oregon evidently followed their long established habit of voting NO when In doubt or not much Interested. It isn't a bad habit - OF the four" thVneasure chang ing ths date of the primary elec tion from Msy to September received the lsrgest sfflrmstlvs rote al though it was decisively smscked In the eye. Those who voted evidently said to themselves: "It makes little differ ence whether candidates are nomin ated In May or September, snd since we've msnsged to survtvs under the present system we'd better hsng onto It. We've hsd about all the experi menting we can atsnd In the last two or three years, anywsy." . RESIDES, ths public Is inclined f to regard elections as a sort of frfeS-for-all vaudeville, so why bunch our entertainment? Better keep It spread out through the year.) THE measure Increasing legislator pay received the smallest affirm ative vote. As It Is, the electors evidently said to themselves: "If the legislature hss no better business judgment than to set for January an expensive special election (950.000 Is about the mini mum guess as to cost) for four meas ures that could all have waited until the regular election in Msy, Its mem bers are now being paid about all they are worth." THIS writer, incidentally, hss a nation that for the present low pay we probsbly get better men in the legislature then If the pay were higher. As It Is, good men who can afford to serve for nothing and pay a part of their expenses seek the Job In order to widen their acquaintance among able men over the state, and at the same time to serve the public. (ALL REALLY GOOD men feel the desire to serve their community snd their stats.) If the psy were rslsed to the point where It was attractive In Itself, men would be Inclined to seek the Job JUST FOR THE PAY. THE ssles tax, designed to finance old age pensions, went down un der an AVALANCHE of adverse votes. That Is to say, wa don't want old age pensions If we have to PAY FOR THEM. THE student fee measure never should hsve been on s state-wide ballot; It Is a matter of school ad ministration that should have been handled by the board of higher edu cation. The voters, recognising that fact, and not being much Interested, ons way or another, snowed It under. 4 Communications Mistaken Identity To the Editor: Dick Peterson, s young man who works for the Rogue River Meat com pany wa charged In the Justice court st Med ford with three different crimes of forgery, alleging that he forged the name or "John Tornltn" to three different checks and passed them at three different places In the city of Med ford.

Mineral valued at 1.931,358 were produced In Oregon in 1035, It la shown In a preliminary report Just issued by H. M. Gaylord of the U. S. bureau of mines, department of the Interior. Th) represent a gsin of 715.383, or 59 percent, over the 1034 figure. Minersl produced In 1B35 wa listed as follow: 51.800 fine ounces of gold valued at 1,813.000; 113.000 fine ounces of silver valued at 183.656: 397.000 pounds of copper valued at S3 3, 348; 48,300 pounds of lead valued at Si. 9 40; and 9.000 pound of sine Talued at S414. Output I'p M Percent. Gold production showed sn Increase of 18.088 ounces, or 54 percent, in 1935 over th 1934 output. The value of the gold In 1935 waa 95 percent of the total metal value of the state. Regarding gold production In this locality, the report stated: Hydraulic Mining. "Gold mining In western Oregon is characterized chiefly by placer opera tion in Jackson and Josephine coun ties along the drainage of the Apple gate and Rogue rivers. The area Is , favorable to hydraulic operations, n-sny of which have been productive over s long time; the small streams yield annually considerable gold that is sold to banks and bullion buyers at Jacksonville and Grants' Pass. "Three of the leading buyers ship ped to the San Francisco mint over 3.000 ounces of fine gold purchased from Itinerant miners In amounts ranging from a small fraction of an ounce to less than two ounce of ; gold. The total output of gold in Jackson county In 1935 Is estimated at 9,000 fine ounces. Important hy draulic gold yields came from the Lance brothers' property on Foots creek In the Gold Hilt district and from th Aurora and Sterling placers In the Upper Applegate district. New Channel Opened. "A new channel wa opened at the old Lay ton mine In Ferris Gulch ou the Jackson -Josephine county line. The 65-bucket electric dredge of the Rogue River Gold company, launched late in 1938 on placer ground ad- Joining Foots creek, was shut down In April and later dismantled and moved to Orave creek. Josephine county. A dragline dredge installed north of Rogue River operated a short tlms and wa then moved to new territory in the county, prepara tory t future production. "A few lode gold mines tn Jackson county 'were productive; the largest was the Opp mine in the Jacksonville district, which more than doubled Its 1984 output. The property is equip ped with a 100-ton flotation plant, the concentrates from which were shipped to the smelter at Tscoma. At the Ashland, where operations toward the reopening of the mine have been directed over a long period, develop ment work was continued and the 700-foot level In the south shaft was reached- Milling Limited. "Milling operations were somewhat limited throughout the year. Over 1.000 tons of ore from the Sylvan lte mine in the Gold Hill district were treated by amalgamation; the mine was one of the leading lode-gold pro ducers in the county. "Th gold output of Josephine county approximated 11,000 ounces In 1935, largely from pracer mining. The outstanding operation wss st the Leonard property In Althouse creek, worked by steam shovel. Dredging In Josephine county hs not been prev alent, but late In 1935 two dredges were In operation. The Rogue River dredge started work October 1 on Grave creek, and made a sizable out put of gold. Construction of a sue tlon type dredge for operation on the Rogue river below Gslloe wss com pleted and operations began early In November. Leading Placers Listed. "Loading hyradullc placers contrib uting Important gold yields were the Forest Queen on Louse creek. Grant Pass district, the Plataurlca or Waldo In the Waldo district, and the Blue Channel in the Wolf Creek district. Other producers were the Althouse In the Althouse district, the McClung and Rock Gulch In the Gallce dis trict, the Metro in the Grants Pass district, and the Columbia In the Greenback district. "At the Greenback lode mine near Grave creek a 50-ton amslgamatton gravlty concentration milt wss under construction. The Rainbow mine in the Waldo district and th J. C.
