Editorial Correspondence
SAN FRANCISCO, November 19. There is a persistent ru
mor there is to be some sort of a football game here tomorrow,
or perhaps it's at a little village called Palo Alto down on
the S. P. a spell. Haven't been able to confirm the reports as
yet. Having been here only a couple of hours, we would say the
eame has already been played and both sides won. We admit
that's an unusual outcome, but how else can one explain that the
alleged college rivals are both celebrating. Just ran in to a
weather-beaten group of middle aged gentlemen down the hall,
coming out of a huddle after executing a vocal tribute to "Cal
ifornia, the blue and the gold" and in the Redwood bar, a
similar group were engaged in raising their bald beads and
glasses to Stanford the "good old cardinal crew," with three
rousing cheers and a tiger. There wasn't a note of defeat or de
pression in either performance, so unless there is evidence to
the contrary, we must conclude, the contest is over and both
sides have found something in the result which pleases thpm
very much. A consummation devoutly to be wished, in the
realm of overemphasized intercollegiate athletics.
.....
Wc left Jfedford this morning at 6:30, it was still raining
and as dark as the inside of your
wiper to function and a rockv
Talent didn't help very much,
we were ten or fifteen minutes
Not until we passed the revolving airplane beacon to the
left did the clouds on the cast start to lighten a bit. And the
headlights weren't dimmed until we rolled into the (itiaran-
tine station for the usual inspection. The officer in charge was
either not entirely awake, or had enough discernment to realize
we had no fruit in our bost, diseased or otherwise. He gave us
our inspection slip in exactly
in our interstate commerce experience, and a precedent which
we trust will bo permanent.
Needless to say we have motored over this stretch of high
way many, many times, but never before in such a storm as
beset us from Yrcka to Shasta City. Lady Luck rather than
any cxpcrtnpss as a navigator saved us from landing -in the
ditch. Not only did the rain come down in buckets, but there
was a gale on port quarter, of truly typhoonic proportions
which at times literally swept the tail end of the car across the
highway, as if the rear wheels were fastened to roller skates.
The clouds were only a few feet above the roof of the depot at
Gazelle, and black as soft coal smoke. While these clouds scur
ried in one direction, lighter clouds higher up shot off at right
angles to them, and the wind was 1n still another quarter. This
rauy sound cock-eyed, but as a matter of fact that is the way
it should sound, for that was the situation EXACTLY. How
ever, we got through after a hard struggle, and while the
rain never stopped it is drizzling here in San Francisco now,
tho wind did, so we checked in at our hotel at four p. ra.,
which under the conditions is a great tribute to two tilings
the improved highway from Mcdford to Market Street, and
tho motor car wo were driving. (Don't worry Buck wc won't

.....
This was our first trip over the new bridge under our own
power. Our initial voyage was under the auspices of the S. P.
and in a dense fog. But while the rain was still coming down
when we hit Albany, the visibility was not impaired, and wc
veered off the highway for the bridge without delay or mis
hap. Imagine tho saving in time! All traffic in Berkeley and
Albany and Oakland escaped and a straight one-way shoot for
the estuary ramp! As far as reaching the San Francisco bus
iness section is concerned, it must save at least half an hour over
the old Berkeley Golden Gate ferry, and you never have to
leave your scat or take your foot from the throttle. The charge
has been reduced also. The toll is only 50 cents. At Carquinez
bridge however they still hold you up for 70 there must be an
other niionv inous millionaire in that set up.
The prediction for the big game tomorrow (our operatives
have just brought in the evidence to sustain the report that
Stanford and California are goinir to tangle tomorrow and are
not really celebrating today) is rain! Well, there IS something
new under the sun after all. Your correspondent has attended
a number of big games around these here parts, but never in
foul weather, in fact never in anything but the blue sky's sun
shine, and a temperature more conducive to white flannels than
a pair of galoshes or a coon skin coat. We wonder if the wea
ther man wouldn't reconsider if he were informed of ALL THE
FACTS. For example, it's not only wet outside here in San
Francisco, it's wet inside also in fact the place is saturated
fore and aft. Couldn't he be satisfied with THAT, for say
about three hours tomorrow and turn off the spigot from two
to five o'clock? We wish he would consider it. After all there
can be ton-much of a good tiling even when it's supposed to
be good for California liquor revenues and next year's crops.
....
This big game is going to be unique for us in another direc
tion. We are going to motor down to Palo Alto before lunch
instead of after, and after the game wc are heading not for
Nob Hill, thank the Lord hut for Los Angeles and (we hope)
the sunny south. We may be all wet before it's over, but at
least we won't either have to catch a train and hang on to a
strap, or move at a snail's pace in a motor jam from five to
about eight o'clock. (In other words, we are going to sec the
big game without getting in the Big Game traffic!) So as Dr.
Emerson so sapientlv remarked, the lew of compensation

VOTES AGAINST
FORESHHANGE
Directors Unanimous In De
cision To Keep Service
'intact Favor Fund To
Eradicate Blister Rust.
Board of directors of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce stood
unanimously committed yesterday on
three matters considered of major im
portance to southern Oregon.
The board voted:
1 That the United States forest
service should be left where It Is un
der the department of agriculture.
2 That sufficient funds should ba
appropriated and allotted for the
complete eradication of blister rust
In order to save southern Oregon for
ests. 3 That flood control should be
left with the board of United States
army engineers.
Timber Peril Told
The directors voted on the propos
als only after lengthy discussions In
which, in some Instances, experts gave
their views. The decisions were reach
ed at the board's luncheon-meeting
In the Hotel Med ford Friday after
noon. It was brought out that under the
current plan to reorganize the de
partments of the federal government,
the forest service would be placed
under a new department of conserva
tion. The board considered this part
of the general reorganization plan
fraught with danger. The board's
unanimous conclusion was that the
forest service, as now constituted. Is
one of the most efficient branches
of the government and that to con
tinue Its outstanding service to the
American public It should not be
changed from Its present status.
Conrad P. Wessala, In charge of
blister rust control in this district,
told the directors that an epidemic
of the disease threatens destruction
of white and sugar pine In southern
Oregon and northern California. De
struction would result In tremendous
economic loss, the white pine In the
Rogue river national forest alone hav
ing a value of $12,000,000, Mr. Wea
sel la said.
Notify Congressmen
To save the timber stands blister
rust must be eradicated within three
years, Mr. Wesselt stressed.
The board voted to direct the
chamber manager, A. H. Banwell, to
write to each of the Oregon congres
sional delegation recommending that
funds be appropriated and allocated
for complete blister rust eradication.
The directors also ordered that let
ters be sent to the congressional del
egation expressing the chamber's view
that the United States forest service
should be left In the department of
agriculture. The letters were mailed
yesterday.
Voting on a referendum being con
ducted by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, the board went
on record as favoring the continuance
of flood control under the army en
gineer board as provided In the 1936
flood control act. It was brought out
that under a current proposal flood
control would be transferred to re
gional boards of civilians.
Bounty Question l'p '
Speaking for the fish and game
committee of which he is chairman.
Everett G. Trowbridge recommended
that the present system of paying
bounties on predatory animals be
continued. Under a new plan the
bounty system would be terminated
and the destruction of predatory an
imals would be put In charge of four
federal, government trappers. The
change would save the county $1,000
a year.
The question was discussed briefly
by County Judge Earl B. Day and
fully by Arthur J. Crews, Junior dis
trict agent of the U. S. biological sur
vey. Crews presented statistics to
show that better results are pro
duced when the destruction of preda
tory animals Is left to government
trappers than to the bounty system.
Left to Court
After hearing the talks and dis
cussing the matter themselves, the
directors decided that as the oest
solution as a protection to stockmen,
sheep raisers and turkey growers the
matter should be left for final con
clusion to the county court.
At the suggestion of Mayor C. C
Pumas and the city council, H. A.
Austin, president of the Medford Mo
tor Bus company addressed the board.
explaining past operation of the line
and plans for the future. It was the
board's conseusus that there Is a
place In Medford for this transporta
tion medium and members proffered
their cooperation.
Twenty-four were at the meeting.
Including Fire Chief Roy Elliott, Col
K. R. Kelly. E. W. Carlton and John
C. Ulan, government trapper in
Douglas county.
